WARNING! if you haven't watched Black Clover or you are just planning to watch it I suggest you stop reading right here right now because this article contains spoilers, but if you are one of those people who don't mind being spoiled then you can continue reading. Anyways, if the previous chapter of black clover was so crazy and it blew your mind then this latest installment of the story was even crazier not only did we get to see those twin OP demons but also a dark triad twist as well. Not to mention the awakening of the Massive demon and the appearance of Asta, I mean...this story always gets crazier and crazier every time to the point that I am not even shocked at what happened in chapter 280.
In the latest Manga chapter of black clover, you can see jack basically nailed into the wall and Nacht devil Plumede is trembling after seeing the twin devils. Now, Nacht expected that those devils from the top floor of the Qliphoth would be on par with the dark triad but he basically realizes that those two are actually on a whole different level. The name of the twin devil is Lilith and Naamah in case you didn't know, the both of them appeared to be just playing Nacht and Jack as they feed in the mana surrounding them. By the way, did you know that the names Lilith and Naamah are another references to here mysticism and scripture, I actually saw a post on Facebook about Lilith is actually portrayed as a female from ancient Mesopotamian religions, others say she portrays as the first wife of Adam, or should I say the disobedient first wife of Adam who was eventually replaced by Eve. Now let's talk about Naamah, in the Hebrew bible he is a descendant of Cain(The man in the book of genesis who killed his own brother Abel) Basically the both of them, Lilith and Naamah are female and Naamah is believed to be a female descendant of Cain but in the anime black clover Lilith appears to be female and Naamah a[ears to be male. Anyways, if you already read the manga those dark black roots that surround the kingdom in the previous chapter is appeared to be absorbing mana from the atmosphere and it seems as that this mana is being consumed by the twins, Lilith and Naamah. At the same time, everyone outside are horrified when a bunch of demons storm out and begins causing chaos in the capital of the spade kingdom, I guess that those devils are low-level devils who escape the underworld after the Qliphoth open, I mean maybe they are the low tier npc's of the underworld.
The first time, Lilith and Naamah showed up we all know that both of them are bad news but then the ancient demon inside the Spade Kingdom isn't done yet, after Mereoleona gives him a strong punch he gets back to his feet while still burning from Mereoleona's flame and Mereoleona being Mereoleona, she smiles and prepares to take on the ancient demon again but it looks like that the ancient demon is just warming up or it's just getting started, my guess that in the next chapter Mereoleona will have a hard time beating the demon but who knows right? we all know that Mereoleona is OP.
The chapter then zooms as back inside the palace where Zenon and Yuno are fighting. Zenon, later realizes that you is overpowering him with 70% of his devil power. If you ask me that is a big deal because that shows how much stronger Yuno has become in just a short period of time, but eventually, that is not the time to celebrate because that is when another massive twist occurs, we all know that the first door of Qliphoth is open right? now the barrier that makes the contract between the dark triad and their devils incomplete has been removed which causes Vanica, Zenon, and Dante to have full access to their 100% devil's power.
The three siblings transform into their ultimate forms which look so cool in my opinion, especially Dante's. When they saw the three of them transform the clover kingdom mages know that they are in serious trouble. The newly powered up transformed siblings quickly turned the tables and seized the momentum in each of their battles while on the other hand Nacht is concerned with the new devils and Morris, he knows that not taking out Morris is very dangerous but basically Nacht cant get to him until he gets through those new devils first. He obviously realizes that Asta's anti-magic may be the only chance so that they can defeat such overpowered devils so Nacht suggests to his devil, Plumede that the two of them will have to sacrifice their lives.
I will be so angry if Nacht dies, I mean the moment he appeared in the manga I automatically liked him, they can't kill Nacht, NO NO NO, and besides he was just introduced and I've been waiting for so long to meet the vice-captain of the Black Bulls. I keep telling myself that he won't die that he will just get beat up and eventually recover because Asta will show up and he's going to beat those demons to the ground, but I just can't get out of my mind that maybe, maybe Nacht will die. Not to mention that Nacht is the one who made this entire invasion plan possible, I mean he literally dedicated so much of his life to this mission after all the time he had spent infiltrating the spade kingdom.
but realistically though when facing such an overpowered antagonist there are some possibilities that some of the heroes will die, but NO HE WON'T HEHE.
While Zenon and Yuno are fighting, Zenon then reveals to Yuno that the Spade kingdom capital is not the only battlefield and it turns out another ancient demon has been sent to the clover kingdom and the people of clover kingdom are stunned as a second massive demon approaches them, at this point I was like, "wait, what!?" as far as I remembered all of the captains are in the Spade Kingdom so now what? how would the people in Clover kingdom face a massive ancient demon that shouldn't even exist in the present time? but I remembered that Asta is still in the Clover Kingdom so yeah, everything is going to be fine.
Lastly, the final panels of this chapter revealed that the Clover kingdom is now in a critical situation, in short, they are doomed. My excitement started to rise when they show Asta and Libe during their training and the text ask whether Asta will manage to finish his training in time, in the very last image in the chapter is that of Asta's face as he breathes heavily after a tough training session.
Looks like our Asta will be joining the battle sooner than we expected and he is still inside the Clover Kingdom he will likely be called upon to test out his newfound powers against this ancient demon. I am pretty excited about Asta's new power and how strong will he be? not only that, I'm also pretty excited to see how will Asta beat those Devil down. Anyways, that is all for today! thank you for reading and I hope you liked it! have a nice day/night! byee!
ps. I just realize that Asta started to wear his robe like how captain Yami wears his, I think Tabata-Sensei literally gives us a hint on who will be the next captain of the Black Bulls. Also, they released an official statement that Black Clover Anime is OVER but I think it's just in Haitus though, I think the animators are just giving time for the manga to like, pile up but it's still pretty sad because admit it or not watching the Anime Adaptation is still better than just reading the Manga.
