Black Clover manga is set to release its next two chapters, i.e., chapters 372 and 373, on Thursday, August 8, 2024, with the release of Shueisha's Jump GIGA Summer 2024 edition's release. Hence, nearly a month before the manga's next installments, the publisher Shueisha unveiled a preview for the upcoming chapters.

According to the short preview, the upcoming manga chapters will focus on Noelle Silva vs. Paladin Acier Silva. Despite being a highly anticipated fight, the manga has not focused on it ever since the series started serializing in Shueisha's Jump GIGA magazine. Thus, it has been over a year since fans last saw a dedicated chapter for fan-favorite character Noelle Silva.

Black Clover manga's next chapters will see Noelle make her big comeback

Nearly a month before the release of Jump GIGA Summer 2024 magazine, Shueisha unveiled the preview for Black Clover chapters 372 and 373. The two manga chapters will continue the fight between Noelle Silva and her mother, Acier Silva, in Paladin form. This is hinted at by the description that can be translated as:

"Noelle & co. continue their fierce battle against their mother Acier ... ?!"

While the manga has not revealed who is teaming up with Noelle, it will likely be one or more of her siblings, i.e., Nozel, Nebra, and Solid. Otherwise, she might be teamed up with her fellow Black Bull members, Vanessa Enoteca and Grey. This is because the two Black Bulls were shown fighting a Lucius Zogratis clone close to the location of Noelle vs Paladin Acier.

That said, while the manga is set to continue the Noelle vs. Acier fight in its next installments, it hasn't been revealed whether both or only one of two chapters will feature the same.

The last time Noelle Silva was featured in the manga properly was in chapters 359 and 360, released in May 2023. The manga saw Noelle make a big comeback and protect her siblings.

Right after, the series unveiled a flashback that saw her look depressed after failing to protect Asta from Lucius Zogratis. Moments later, Noelle joined her friend Kahono in the Seabed Temple and formed a contract with the "Sea God" Leviathan, attaining her new Valkyrie Armor: Dragon Form.

Noelle activated this form in the fight against her mother, Acier, but she hasn't been actively featured in the manga ever since. The only moments Noelle is shown in the manga are when she is part of background fights or when Lucius Zogratis wonders about her latest unforeseen power-up.

The surprising thing is that, despite how Noelle felt after Asta was teleported to the Hino Country, Black Clover manga has yet to reveal her reaction to Asta's big return. Thus, Black Clover manga's next installment could likely feature Noelle Silva's reaction to Asta's return and her fight against Paladin Acier Silva.
