The previous chapter saw Asta getting trained in Zetten by two Ryuzen Seven members - Yosuga and Fujio.

Black Clover chapter 346 delayed by two weeks

It was only recently that manga author Yuki Tabata took a two-week hiatus after his daughter was hospitalized to get her wisdom tooth removed.

After she was discharged from the hospital, Black Clover author's family was hit with another sickness as their family dog got diarrhea, ruining all the sheets at home. While his wife is still doing fine, it seems like the recent events have also affected her mentally.

What happened last time?

Black Clover chapter 345, titled Unprepared, saw Ryudo Ryuya warning Asta and Ichika about the paladins that have dropped in on the Land of the Sun, following which Ichika joined four other Ryuzen Seven members to face them.

Meanwhile, Asta was set to complete his Zetten training with Yosuga Mushogatake and Fujio Tenmanyashiki. While Yosuga fought Asta to trigger his Zetten training, Fujio kept using his ability to keep recharging Asta's strength.

This is when he was shown to have some doubts about his strength and his potential to defeat Lucius. Asta started doubting whether Yuno would be able to protect Sister Lily during Lucius's attack.

Lastly, fans also got to see a glimpse of another new Ryuzen Seven member, Kezokaku Ginnojomorifuyu. She seemed very timid at first, however, she became menacingly bloodthirsty when she took out her sword to fight Paladin Sister Lily.
