Recap of Black Clover chapter 358

Black Clover chapter 358, titled Flame Burial, saw Mereoleona fight Morris after she regenerated her left arm using the Hellfire Incarnate ability. As the fight resumed, Morris revealed how his ability "Operation Dismantle" was much faster than Mereoleona's attacks, giving him the edge.

When it seemed like Mereoleona was about to lose, her brigade members came to her rescue. Following that, other members also shielded her. Mereoleona used this opportunity to connect her attacks with Morris, without having to physically touch him. Soon after, she unleashed her new ability, Calidos Brachium Purgatory: Flame Burial, intending to turn Morris into ashes.

What to expect from Black Clover chapter 359

Black Clover chapter 359 will most likely see the fight between Mereoleona Vermillion and Paladin Morris continue. After the Crimson Lion members sacrificed themselves to shield their former Interim Captain, Mereoleona activated her new ability, Calidos Brachium Purgatory: Flame Burial, using which she hopes to turn Morris into ashes.

However, the upcoming chapter could also focus on any other fight taking place during Judgment Day, such as Yuno vs Lucius, Yami vs Morgen, or the Silva family vs Acier. There also lies the possibility that the Black Bulls may return to the Clover Kingdom with Asta.
