Black Clover Chapter 361's delay in release is now a known fact rather than a matter of conjecture. After series creator Yuki Tabata took a one-month break, the manga resumed on May 22, 2023, with the release of Chapter 359. After this, on May 29, 2023, Chapter 360 was published.

However, it was announced that the manga would be taking another break the following week, delaying the much-anticipated release of Black Clover Chapter 361 until Monday, June 12, 2023.

The upcoming release of the new film, Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, on Friday, June 16, 2023, provides an exciting backdrop for this developing situation in the Black Clover universe. It is obvious that this movie and the manga's irregular breaks have something in common. The creative team may be able to put their all into the film during these breaks, according to the analysis of some observant fans, guaranteeing an amazing cinematic experience that is worth the wait.

A brief recap of the Black Clover Chapter 360

Black Clover Chapter 360, titled Unreadable World, was a whirlwind of battles. The chapter began with Noelle's confrontation with her mother, Acier, during which Noelle displayed an improved Sea Dragon Roar. Despite her best efforts, Acier was able to stop Noelle's attack, which motivated her to fight harder.

While this was going on, Yuno Grinberryall and Lucius Zogratis were engaged in a bloody duel. Despite Lucius's speed and foresight, Yuno was able to keep up and even attack Lucius from his blind spot, thanks to his wind and star magic.

On the other hand, Lucius retaliated by catching Yuno's sword in midair and attempting to exert control over his soul. Yuno was able to deflect the spell with his Wind Spirit Creation Magic: Spirit of Notus spell. This, combined with Noelle's, Mereoleona's, and others' unexpectedly high levels of power, forced Lucius to reconsider his preconceived notions of the future, particularly Asta's influence in altering it. Yuno's devastating attack brought the chapter to a close on a high note by interfering with his contemplation.

For fans during this time, patience is essential, despite how difficult it may be.
