Black Clover Chapter 326: Asta sees Liebe’s memory of Licita, Devil Union form gets a fifth horn

Black Clover Chapter 326 was anticipated because of the cliff-hanger where the last chapter left off and the color pages and announcements accompanying the chapter. Indeed, Asta is featured on the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 15 in his Devil Union form.

While the cover and color pages were spectacular, the developments in the chapter itself have interested the readers equally. The results of Yuno’s choice are shown in Black Clover Chapter 326, alongside a surprising development in Asta’s Devil Union form.

Asta and Liebe grow closer in Black Clover Chapter 326, Devil Union changes forms

In the last chapter, Lucifero overpowered all four magic knights. While he threw himself in front of Asta, who had his leg broken by Lucifero, Yuno decided that Yami had a better chance of defeating Lucifero since he possesses William Vangeance’s sword.

Black Clover Chapter 326 is titled “Brothers.”

Yuno’s plans fall through

Black Clover Chapter 326 picks up where the last chapter left off. Lucifero destroys the Spirit of Boreas, and as Yuno falls down, he transports both Yami and Nacht to either side of the Devil King using his Conjunction.

Yami and Nacht use another combination spell called “Doppelganger,” which allows them to mimic each other and attack Lucifero simultaneously. Nacht brandishes a shadow version of the Blade of Misteltein.

However, the attack is futile as Lucifero stabs them both through their stomachs using his bare hands. He discards them to the sides as Adrammelech watches from the sidelines and advances towards Asta.

Asta visits Liebe’s memory of Licita

Meanwhile, Asta becomes privy to Liebe’s memories in the realm inside Devil Union. He sees Liebe’s love for his foster mother and the guilt he carries over his role in her death, as well as his hatred for Lucifero. Liebe truly believes that Licita should never have met him.

However, Asta tells him that he thought being magicless was his burden alone until he met Liebe. They can both be stronger because they have each other. Asta assures Liebe that he is truly glad to have met him.

Asta and Liebe affirm their new understanding of each other by calling each other “brother.” When Lucifero goes to punch Asta, he blocks it using his Demon Slasher Katana.

Asta is in a new form of Devil Union, where his eyes are black with red slits. His bandana falls off to reveal that he has grown a fifth horn. He tells Lucifero that the King of Devils cannot be forgiven for killing “his partner’s mother.”

Final thoughts

It is unclear from Black Clover Chapter 326 exactly what Yuno and others wanted to accomplish, but their plans were in vain either way. With Nacht, Yami, and Yuno all down for the count and no backup on the horizon, Asta seems to be the last hope that humanity has left.

It is ironic that Asta wishes to avenge Licita’s death while considering her to be only Liebe’s mother. It seems to foreshadow the revelation of the circumstances surrounding Asta’s own birth. While it is unknown how their new bond will affect the Devil Union, some readers have theorized that the change in Asta’s irises means that Asta might not be the one in control right now.

Others have noted that the fifth horn may signify something completely different from Devil Union. However, it can also mean that Asta has finally perfected Devil Union. Black Clover Chapter 327 will clarify these doubts.
