Chapter 369 of Black Clover begins with Asta teaming up with Yuno to take on Lucius Zogratis. What started as a two-on-two battle quickly turned into a four-on-two showdown when Lucius summoned two more versions of himself to join the fight. Despite Asta's return, Lucius declared that the odds were stacked in his favor, boasting a multitude of angels, three paladins, and 11 of his own clones ready to do battle.
The manga then went into a flashback to when Asta shared his anti-magic powers with the Black Bulls. During this revelation, Asta informed his friends that Ichika was the sister of Yami Sukehiro. While the Black Bulls were surprised, they were also pressed for time. Consequently, Ichika promptly explained the temporary nature of Asta's anti-magic sharing. According to her, the Black Bulls were able to temporarily use Pseudo Anti-Magic. However, their usage was limited and they could only unleash one or two major attacks.

In the present timeline, Luck Voltia begins his attack by swiftly defeating a pair of angels using the Anti-Magic variant of Lightning Battle Fiend. Just as Lucius perceives Luck's anti-magic as a threat, Magna appears behind him and activates the new spell Soul Chain Tag Deathmatch. This spell distributes the mana between the fighters, creating a two-on-two fight.
With the spell in effect, Magna becomes Luck's partner, while Lucius fights alongside one of his angels. As the spell activates, Luck and Magna defeat the angel, turning the fight into a two-on-one deathmatch. Lucius soon realizes that his magic is diminishing, but he believes he only needs to wait until his opponents' anti-magic reserves are depleted.
In Black Clover chapter 369, Luck and Magna are seen combining their remaining Anti-Magic to unleash a powerful Black Flame-Lightning Explosive Cannon. This attack successfully takes down one of the 11 clones of Lucius Zogratis. After the decisive blow, Asta taunts Lucius about his boast of favoring odds.
Final thoughts on Black Clover chapter 369
Black Clover chapter 369 has provided clear evidence that the manga will have a long serialization. According to Lucius, he had 11 clones, three paladins, and dozens of angels. With only one clone being defeated in the latest chapter, it is evident that the series will continue for a considerable amount of time. Despite the long wait, fans can expect Yuki Tabata's series to run for many years to come.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of Black Clover, I am thrilled to see the continuation of the manga with chapter 369. The intense battle between the Black Bulls and Lucius Zogratis, with Asta and Yuno uniting forces, is truly captivating. The return of the series after a brief hiatus has left me eagerly anticipating each new chapter. The plot twists and character development keep me hooked, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.
The revelation of Asta sharing his anti-magic powers with the Black Bulls adds an exciting dynamic to the fight against Lucius. The temporary nature of this power-sharing creates a sense of urgency and raises the stakes even higher. The strategic use of anti-magic by Luck and Magna, leading to the defeat of one of Lucius' clones, showcases the strength and unity of the Black Bulls. I am excited to see how the other members of the Black Bulls will contribute to the battle and overcome the challenges they face.
