Brief recap of chapter 321
Chapter 321, titled “Excuses,” begins with Sekke trembling in fear while Lucifero charges at Yuno. After successfully dodging the attack and teleporting Asta and Mimosa near Sekke, Yuno engages Lucifero in combat.
His attacks are ineffective against the King of Devils. However, Mereoleona returns to the fight and they team up against Lucifero.
Sekke has flashbacks of his first meeting with Yuno and Asta before realizing that they have far surpassed him. He becomes inspired by them and regrets that while those two have always tried to be stronger, Sekke himself never did.
Having used her Ultimate Magic recently, Mimosa does not have enough mana to heal Asta. However, the latter wakes up and thanks her before moving towards the fight with his Demon Slayer Sword. Mimosa pleads with him to stop, but Asta is solely focused on Yuno and the battle. He staggers forth, saying:
“Yuno, I’m on my way.”
What to expect from chapter 322
Black Clover chapter 322 will probably focus on Asta joining the fight. However, it would be imprudent to hope that he alone can turn the tide of this battle, having failed to do so once already. Other captains besides Mereoleona will likely return to battle as well.
While many fans expected it to be Yuno’s chapter, his battle with Lucifero was not the central focus. So, it can be expected that chapter 322 will concentrate on his and Mereoleona’s team up. Following Sekke’s recent character development, he can also join the battle in this chapter.
Noelle, Langris, the Black Bulls, and Nacht have yet to appear in recent chapters. Patry can become a major player in the ongoing clash, but he is also absent along with William and Yami.
The Supreme Devil of the Second Layer has done nothing but observe and comment on the proceedings throughout the battle. Her true purpose remains unknown, as does the status of the Qilphoth Channel.
