Black Clover: Asta Is About To Get A New Devil Form

Warning: contains spoilers for Black Clover Chapter 281

After undergoing Nacht’s training, Asta may have finally achieved Devil Union Mode with his Devil, Liebe. Black Clover starts its world-building by presenting magic. People in this world utilize magic power as natural as breathing air. However, Asta, the series’ protagonist, cannot utilize even the tiniest bit of mana. Despite such an obvious handicap, he still dreams of becoming the Wizard King. His chance arrives during the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony. That’s when he acquires a five-leaf grimoire, which has allowed him to wield Anti-Magic power. Coupled with his incredulous strength after all the physical training he has done, Asta becomes a considerable force within the Clover Kingdom.

As the story progress, Asta slowly unveils the mystery behind the swords within his grimoire. It turns out that a Devil has been residing in his grimoire from the beginning, and he is even able to wield stronger power after sacrificing his right arm. His power only increases when the White Queen removes the limit of his Anti-Magic. Asta then manages to harness the dark energy and make it envelop his body. But despite all of his power-ups, he still doesn’t hold a candle against the stronger enemies. With the Spade Kingdom using Devil powers to antagonize the world, Nacht, the Black Bull’s vice-captain who infiltrated the Spade Kingdom, makes an appearance. Since he’s also a magic knight who uses Devil powers, he trains Asta to bring out the fullest of his potential.

After Spade Kingdom’s attack to abduct Vengeance and Yami, the Clover Kingdom sends its strongest magic knights to save them. However, rescuing them prove to be an arduous task. The members of the Dark Triad faces them and slowly unleashes their Devil powers. This has kept Clover Kingdom’s magic knights occupied. Spade Kingdom takes this opportunity and summons Lilith and Naamah, and then sends a Demon towards the weakened Clover Kingdom.

Even with the help of the remaining wizards in the form of Julius Novachrono and Damnatio Kira, they still fail to stop the rampaging Demon. Just when they think everything is lost, Asta, who’s supposed to be holed up in training, appears. Wielding his Anti-Magic sword, he strikes towards the Demon head-on.

As one of the current longest-running series published in Weekly Shonen Jump, Black Clover proves that it still is hiding some cards up its sleeves. After seeing the Spade Kingdom’s Union Form, as well as Nacht’s Union Form with his Devils, fans have been excited to see Asta’s Devil Union Form. Even though Chapter 281 abruptly ends just before revealing Asta’s new form, the next update may be all about featuring how strong Asta and Liebe’s Devil Union Form is.
