The newest chapter of Yuki Tabata's manga has shared a full look at Asta's Devil's true form, and to truly cement this monumental face off, Black Clover has sent Asta on a terrifying new training mission in which he'll have to go face to face with his Devil. When the Dark Triad of the Spade Kingdom kidnapped Yami and Vangeance with the intent of sacrificing them and opening the gates to the underworld, the Vice Captain of the Black Bulls revealed his plans to train Asta to use his Devil power more effectively and make him the Clover Kingdom's ultimate warrior.

Asta isn't ready to name this version of Yami's katana just yet, but there is some hope. Soon after, the Vice Captain of the Black Bulls appears in front of Asta and confirms that Yami is still alive. But, for the time being, Asta is far too weak to do anything about it. But, with Yami's former katana in tow and a chance to hone his newly enhanced Devil power, there's still a chance Asta can eventually rescue Yami from the Dark Triad.
Asta has been an outlier in a world where magic is everything since birth. In many ways (side-eyes his screaming), I admire his determination and dream. The biggest difference that sets him apart is that he does not have a single drop of mana in him. Simply put, our MC is a magic-less boy who aspires to be the Wizard King.
Asta became enraged when Dante used his gravity magic to harm the Black Bulls and seemingly kill one of them. He'd been training for a half-year to improve his Devil power, which meant he had access to a slew of new attacks. However, as it turns out, this training has made him more vulnerable to full possession. Dante had wanted Asta to demonstrate his power because he felt they were kindred spirits, and as Chapter 242 concludes, fans see what this truly means as the half-possessed Asta revealed a much more terrifying version of his Black Asta form complete with fully developed claws, longer horns, and a second wing beginning to emerge from his back.
