Your opinion about Zenon and this all Yuno-Asta-Zenon-Allen fate circle? 🤔 maybe a headcanon-
look i'm gonna be real with you. when tabata first dropped the zenon and allen parallels on us i was CONVINCED that this stupid little homosexual would come to his senses and betray his siblings for the sole purpose of wanting to mentor yuno with his singular braincell and make sure he doesn't pull stupid shit and lose his own mini-allen (asta).
we could've had zenon betrayal! especially because he's the only sibling of the dark triad that seemed to be coerced into this devil bullshit and doing it for entirely different reasons than dante and vanica who are out here horny on main for big tits and funky magic.
A personal message from Tabata in regards to the series moving magazines
The translator said that this message was written in much shakier writing than what Tabata usually writes.
From the sounds of the message, a lot of people in twitter theorised that Black Clover would end in 5ish chapters, but the letter essentially confirms we're nowhere near that, as Tabata stated there are some stories he absolutely needs to write and some he wants to write. And that with this new schedule, he'll have more creative control in the writing and better deadlines to abide to (3 months for 60 pages = approximately 20 pages per month, compared to WSJs approx 80).
While we don't know exactly HOW much is gonna go into each chapter, from the sounds of it, Tabata won't be fighting with editorial over creative direction which was a theory on why the energy and vibe of black clover has been changing.
Let's all support Tabata now that he's working in a much better environment!
WHEN I TELL YOU I KNEW TABATA WAS IN HIS BAG THIS WEEK BECAUSE THE COVER HAD ASTA'S TITS OUT LOOKING RIDICULOUS, NOELLE ON THE FRONT AND YUNO ADMIRING HIS MUSCLES!!! AND HE WAS!!!
HOMOPHOBE (DAMNATIO) DOWN AND IN DISBELIEF THAT THE BLACK BULLS WERE THE ONES TO SAVE HIM
MEANWHILE ASTA WORRIES FOR EVERYONE AND THE MILF OF THE FOREST HAS HER CRYSTAL BALL TELL HER SOMETHIBG
WITCH QUEEN DOES MASS RECOVERY AND STATES THAT THANKA TO NERO, THE BULLS CAN STILL BE SAVED
BUT BECAUSE SHES USING HER MAGIC FIRST ON THE FOOR, THEN ON ALL OF THE BULLS, SHES COMPLETELY OUT OF STRENGTH AND ASKS VANESSA TO BE THE NEXT WITCH QUEEN.
DOROTHY INTERJECTS, SAYING SHES HAD ENOUGH FUN
WITCH MILF EVOLVED INTO WITCH GILF
DOROTHY: YOU AND I BOTH KNOW VANESSA ISNT GONNA TAKE THAT FUCKEN POSITION
WITCH QUEEN ASKS IF ASTA HAS SOME TRICK UP HIS SLEEVE
APPARENTLY DURING ZETTEN TRAINING, THEY FOUND OUT THAT EVER SINCE MASTERING ZETTEN, ASTA'S CONTROL AND POWER OVER ANTIMAGIC HAD ESSENTIALY EVOLVED
RYUUYA THEORISES THAT THE PROPERTIES OF ANTIMAGIC WASNT JUST ANNIHILATION OF MAGIC, BUT ALSO THE OBJECTS WITH SAID ATTRIBUTE WERE "GIVEN ANTIMAGIC POWERS"
MAN ESSENTIALY USES YAMI'S KATANA AS AN EXAMPLE AND FINALLY, AFTER 300 CHAPTERS THE SHIT THAT HAPPENED IN THE DUNGEOM WITH NOELLE'S MAGIC AND DEMON DWELLER IS ACKNOWLEDGED
Ryuuya, lv 100 braincells: okay, hear me out, if you can give antimagic powers to objects, could you do that with PEOPLE? ESPECIALLY if it's the chemistry between people and how much you've known them???
Asta, lv 100 meathead: HOLY SHIT
ASTA CAN NOW SHARE HIS POWER WITH EVERYONE AND OUT COMES OUR SEXIEST BRIGADE YET
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW FUCKING LOUD I SCREAMED!!! THE WAY ONE PART OF THE BULLS HAVE BLACK FLAMES AND THE OTHER HAS BLACK HEARTS!!! ALL OF THEIR DESIGNS!!! I COULD SCREAM ABOUT ALL OF THEM
PUNK AND BISEXUALITY IN CONDENSED FORM, THROUGH THE POWER OF LOVE AND CAMARADERIE
You mean to tell me that, instead of 1 Anti-Magic user, there are now 13 ANTI-MAGIC USERS HEADING TO KICK LUCIUS' BUT?!?!?
Because I'm guessing that that is what Asta just did, replace (temporarily I assume) their Magic Attributes!! Otherwise it'll be a huge ass plothole as mentioned before....
STARTING OFF WITH SECRES SPELL ESSENTIALLY SEALING ALL INJURIES UP UNTIL THAT POINT, BUT THEY CANT FUCK AROUNF AND ABOUT
GRAY AND GAUCHE NOT DEAD YET BUT NOT SURVIVING
CHARMY AT THE SCENES WITH THE HOES, SHOWING DAMNATIO HE AINT MADE FOR THESE STREETS
DAMNATIO APPARENTLY HAS BAAL'S MAGIC, BUT APPARENTLY NOT EVERY PALADIN HAS DOUBLE AFFINITY
BAAL IS ATMOSPHERIC(??????) MAGIC
WHICH IS BAD FOR EVERYONE HERE
SECRE GOES TO MONOLOGUE HOW SHE WAD SEALED FOR 500 YEARS, NO HUMAN COULD BEAR THAT, AND HOW SHE WAS WILLING TO DIE

WE ARE CUTTING TOO CLOSE
SECRE IS CRYING AND CALLING OUT FOR ASTA, SAYING SHE CANT DO THIS WITHOUT HIM SINCE HE GAVE HER FRIENDS AND HER HEART BACK
AND OUR KING ANSWERS THE CALL!!!!!!
THE PARALLEL BETWEEN NACHT AND SECRE SEEING SOMEONE IN ASTA WHOM THEY CARE ABOUT, ASTA'S MURDEROUS EYES WHILE THANKING EVERYONE, THE LIGHT IN SECRES EYES
ACCURATE BECAUSE THIS IS THE VIBE OF THE WHOLE SERIES, THE FULL CIRCLE
NOELLE AND ACIER BEEFING
WE SWITCH TO YUNO AND LUCIUS
LUCIUA IS TRYING TO PALADINIZE YUNO
YUNO PULLS OUT THE FUCKEN SHIELD
SPIRIT OF NOTUS IS A SHIELD YALL
GREAT DAY FOR THE GUY ON TWITTWR WHO PREDICTED NOTUS BEING A SHIELD
LUCIUS IS SO FUCKEN CONFUSED BY IT
ALTERNATE TIMELINE DISCREPANCIES
Apparently, in the timelines Lucius saw, the strongest one he considered Yuno to be was the one where Spade Rebellion never happened, but even then it took him years to master star magic. WHEREAS IN THIS TIMELINE YUNO DID IT ONE/UNDER ONE YEAR
Man's is so confused and also shocked by the following reasons, because they happened in all other timelines
MANS SO OUT OF IT AND WE GET THIS
WHEN TELL I SCREAMED SO FUCKEN MUCH!!! ASTA IS THE REASON EVERYONE IS AT THEIR STRONGEST!!! HE'S THE MOTIVATION, THE BAD BITCH BAR AND THE GOLDEN STANDARD AND HE AFFECTED THE WORLD!!!
IM FUCKEN INSANE OVER THIS CHAPTER!!! BREAK NEXT WEEK BECAUSE OF HOLIDAY I THINK
Okay but like... I was really starting to think that Tabs just want to get it over with but then he does this... And the freaking fact that he has been foreshadowing the whole damn thing since the start just makes me go, damnnn... Well played Tabs.
Like... They are the ONLY ones with black background????????? WHO THINKS OF THAT!?!
heads up there wont be much coming from me in the next couple of weeks because @silvyavan and i are both planning a little christmas surprise. no i will not elaborate. expect chaos at some point tho
What happened to Adrammelech in the reincarnated AU ? Has Lucius eaten his heart at some point or bc he had himself a secret agenda, betrayed Lucius or ignored him in the final fight and has now to live with the knowledge that a few of his superiors are manaless humans AND getting raised by the most powerful humans who happens to be himself the reincarnation of a supreme devil ? Has he become smh the designated babysitter for these gremlins when Asta goes for hunting and adopting manaless babies/children ?
You see due to the fact that Lucius was a WHORE there are a LOT of reincarnated devil souls, and if you think Adrammelech would be off the hook just cause he worked with Lucius, then girl you don't know that man at all.
Black Clover theory about the 5 headed dragon legend, Astaroth and how Lucius shot himself in the foot by targeting Sister Lily
Warning for my insane ranting and theorism but there are CONNECTIONS.
TIME FOR PREFACE:
In the past few post timeskip chapters we've been given some important details:
Lucius had taken the hearts of several supreme devils, including Beelzebub and implemented them into humans.
Sister Lily views Asta as a little brother
In Yami's homeland, there's a legend about a heavenly maiden and a 5 headed dragon
Sister Lily and Beelzebub are now in Hino country
The Black Sea in Yami's hometown is considered a ripple between TIME and SPACE
This is all linked into, what could very well be the Astaroth reveal in the VERY NEAR FUTURE
IM TALKING "HAPPENING BEFORE CHRISTMAS" NEAR
Let's preface this with Beelzebub, Astaroth and Lucifero and how hearts work with devils. We've SEEN with Zagred that the hearts of devils are more like a core of sorts and the devils magic and soul likely resides in. We don't know whether or not those devils, upon having their hearts eaten, dissappear as egos or simply get put to hibernation.
Assuming that the personas of said devils are tied into their magic, the brainwashing and purification with paladin bullshit Lucius is pulling is likely trapping both Sister Lily and Beelzebub in the same shifest.
Astaroth is likely exempt from being locked up in the back of Lucius' mind, probably because the ego/soul either escaped or was transfered somewhere else as a last ditch resort of survival (this will be important a bit further down.)
Now, Beelzebub and Astaroth are more alike and connected to each, similar to how in mythos Satan and Moloch are connected but instead were fuzed into Lucifero.
Both Beelzebub and Astaroth were demons who originated from Mesopotamiam/Ancient gods, Baal and Ishtar respectively. The affinities of space and time are both directly linked and dependent on each other. They're technically the only devils of the trinity who, SO FAR, haven't had direct interaction with humans outside of deals.
In ADDITION, both are in the same group of sorts, both as the evil trinity and supreme devils.
However, Astaroth is different in the point where in his description, he has two pets under his command - a viper in his hand while riding an INFERNAL dragon.
Now, we're not given any context into what these creatures can and can't do or what they represent, so artistic liberties in portraying them can be taken.
How does this connect to Sister Lily, the legend of the 5 headed dragon and Asta?
The legend of Benzaiten in Enoshima.
The legend that Ichika talks about is LITERALLY the Enoshima land legend, which has a shrine made for MATCHMAKING.
Asta has been connected to the number 5 ALL the time in the series and wouldn't be surprising to have him connected to THIS dragon as well. And with the whole "holy maiden of beauty and benevolence" myth, that's where Sister Lily/Possessed Lily comes in. Literally down to rejected proposals.
The thing we need to look out for is that the legend says that the dragon was DORMANT in Enoshima, ie still there, and that the sea which turned black was a ripple between TIME and SPACE. The dragon is very likely still there and the reason why the sea is black.
The theory is, that, the dragon that Astaroth has is the SAME DRAGON in the black sea. And by Sister Lily and Asta fighting there, we'll likely get the Astaroth reveal.
And this is because we've seen foreshadowing in this with the VIPER.
Which happened in ELF ARC, THE ARC ABOUT REINCARNATING AND WHERE A DEVIL APPEARS AND OPENS A HELL GATE.
Zagred is described as a high ranking devil, so the likelihood of him being from the 5th gate, which Astaroth should reside in, is Plausible. In addition, Zagred isn't summoning the Tendrils/Viper, he's opening a gate from his world to this one. The Viper Tendrils are just busting out likely because they became feral at the loss of their owner.
How this connects to the Dragon is how Asta reacted to said Viper. We SEE how this magic reacts to both elf and human, even to YAMI, who's technically a kijin. It's hostile to EVERYONE.
EXCEPT ASTA CAME OUT UNSCATHED
Note how Patri says that Antimagic works on Viper but remarks that Asta's UNSCATHED as a separate thing.
Asta isn't safe because of antimagic but because of himself. Antimagic was able to cut him free but when Asta was swallowed up, he wasn't in black form. The Viper didn't do damage because of Asta himself. The Viper, even if now feral, recognised Asta as Astaroth and knew not to attack. And we KNOW its not because of magic because it leeches life energy too, similar to Licita's curse.
THIS, is where shit starts building up to a Sister Lily vs Asta on the Black Lake fight because it will parallel this moment.
Sister Lily and Asta start duking it out in the Black Sea but nobody can get in there or suffer adverse effects. ASTA gets thrown in there by Sister Lily to try and kill him for good but he comes out unscathed. And since the place is a ripple of Time and Space, the 5 headed dragon can feel "Astaroth", or maybe Asta's presence wakes it from its slumber.
And fucken busts out.
And Beelzebub fucken SEES this.
Astaroth's old ass pet reacting to this little dude. Who's name is Asta has goes memory dumpster diving. Who also is as old as when Astaroth disappeared.
And he starts making connections. THIS is how the reveal happens.
And THIS is how sister lily gets out of the brainwashing.
Beelzebub by mythos, is older than Astaroth but similar enough to warrant connection. It wouldn't be weird for Beelzebub, who looks like a 40 year old man with alcoholism, to be considered a "big brother" to Astaroth.
And sister lily stuck in the back of her own head suffering over hurting Asta and sees BEELZEBUB try and bust out. Which is how we get Siister Lily gets out of the brainwashing, Astaroth lore AND Beelzebub and sister Lily working together to save their "little brother".
It's all FUCKING CONNECTED.
Especially in helping all of them get BACK to Clover with extra help.
Imagine you're Lucius and you see Asta, previously assumed dead, Sister Lily and BEELZEBUB with extra help from Hino Country riding into battle on a FIVE HEADED DRAGON. I would just throw in the towel and start evacuation.
