Chapter 390: The Wizard King’s decision begins

This chapter is titled Battle of Contrasts, and as the name suggests, the story is focused on choosing who would become the next Wizard King. Part of the kingdom believes that Asta’s antimagic was the main reason for Lucius defeat. Meanwhile, others believed it was because of Yuno.

Even the Magic Knights were not able to come to a unanimous decision. As no one was able to agree on choosing one person, they came up with the simplest and most dramatic solution. A one-on-one duel and whoever would win among the duo would finally become the Wizard King.

As Asta and Yuno finally get ready to face each other, we get a small monologue to remind readers about their childhood promise. Finally, in Black Clover Chapter 390, the final battle begins. It starts with Yuno launching an incredibly strong attack, which Asta ends up countering. But it ends with a massive clash, as Asta rises from a devastating attack, battered but unbroken.


Chapter 391: Asta vs Yuno reaches its peak

The title of Black Clover Chapter 391 is The Long-Awaited Conclusion. As the name suggests, fans should expect this ongoing battle to get over. Initially, at the start, the fight escalated to a whole new level. Even spectators watching the battle are left stunned.

While Yuno is relentlessly fighting and throwing immensely powerful attacks, Asta is in no mood to back down. For most of this battle, Yuno kept on dominating with magic as Asta kept his fight purely with his physical raw strength.

For a moment, it seemed like Asta might have lost this fight because Yuno exploited anti-magic’s weakness and buried Asta under a massive boulder. But hope is not lost because he ends up destroying everything with a single punch.

Finally, this fight comes to an end when both of them launch their final attack. And when the dust settled, Asta was the one left standing. That is when we get an emotional moment in Black Clover Chapter 391 when even Yuno acknowledges his loss.

Asta also adds on by admitting that he could have never reached his peak if Yuno were not there to push him. It is not just a victory, it is the fulfillment of their shared dream.


Chapter 392: The final page and Asta’s future

Interestingly, Black Clover Chapter 392 is titled The Final Page, and the story takes on a more lighthearted tone. We get a two-year time skip, and readers will see that the Clover Kingdom is peaceful. Moreover, even Haga village has become a symbolic landmark.

The story takes time to show where every major character ends up. Some key highlights in Black Clover Chapter 392 include:

  • Finral and Finesse are expecting a child
  • Yami and Charlotte are officially together (and implied to be married)
  • Nacht is becoming the new Black Bulls captain
  • Rill and Charmy are living a wholesome family life
  • Loropechka and Gadjah are getting married

Meanwhile, Yuno continues serving as a captain, showing his dedication even after losing the title. And then comes the final moment as Asta makes an appearance before a new threat. As the enemies mock him for having no magic, but his response defines the entire series:

“I am the Wizard King.”

It might sound like a simple line, but this particular dialogue by Asta finally brings closure to his story.


Final thoughts on Black Clover ending

In the end, the finale of Black Clover manga was incredibly satisfying. On one hand, longtime fans are about to see Asta finally becoming the Wizard King. We finally also get proper closure on his relationship with Yuno. But one minor criticism might be the fact that the pacing felt a little rushed.

Fans might have wanted to see key moments that were skipped because the creator chose to have a small time skip. Readers had been waiting for a really long time and were expecting an emotional payoff, but unfortunately, they were not included.

Although on good thing about Black Clover’s ending is how the core message landed. Asta was someone with no magic has worked hard to become one of the strongest mages in the kingdom. His story is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring shonen heroes in the recent history of the animanga world.
