Chapter 390: Battle of contrasts
Six months after Lucius' defeat
Asta VS Yuno, battle for becoming the Wizard King.
The captains can't agree on whether to recommend Yuno or Asta either, so they just decide by fighting it out
Both Asta and Yuno have lots of citizens rooting for them.
Finally Asta is also recognized, supported, and celebrated.
Asta VS Yuno concludes with Asta's win at the end of chapter 391. Yuno acknowledges Asta's win.
Asta: "Because you were there... I was able to keep chasing my dream...!"
A new Wizard King is born.
Chapter 392: Final Page - Where never giving up leads. Starts with a 2-year timeskip.
Father Orsi is giving a guided tour (kind of) to tourists at the church where Asta and Yuno grew up
Nash and Marie are both taking the magic knights entrance exam. Gauche is sisconning again; Marie whispers to Gauche that no one but Grey will fall for a sos-cin bigbrother like him, and tells him he can't let her escape. Both Gauche & Grey become a bit embarrassed.
Charlotte flashbacks during the entrance exam to seeing Ichika off on a ship (presumably going home).
We finally learn how Asta understood the foreign language of Hino; apparently, he always had some magic tool on him.
Ichika addresses Charlotte as sister-in-law [oneesama] when saying goodbye and asks her to visit Hino. Charlotte gets very flustered and tells her they're still in the dating phase.
Yami: ""I've got my sights set on the future, though?"
Asta congratulates Yami x Charlotte, and says he's still not used to the 'beauty and the beast'. Yami starts smacking him as usual, taking offense at being referred to as beast. Asta reminds him he's Wizard King now, but Yami says to him Asta'll always be a brat.
we're back to the present from Charlotte's flashback. Sol asks how 'Yami danna' is doing; which probably indicates they're married now.
Nacht is the new BB captain.
BB lifestyle: Vanessa drinks, Nacht is annoyed, Luck and Magna fight and test Zora's new trap magic, Henry and Gordon play cards, Nacht annoyed again.
Finral x Finesse married, expecting a child. Finral vows to come home early every day.
Charmy x Rill married. Lots of kids. Lots of kids...
Mimosa and Noelle declare a new romantic 'battle' for Asta, and are off to lunch.
They mention Loro x Gaja got married, and that apparently Mereo is being courted by someone in Hino.
Yuno is Golden Dawn captain, and it seems like he shares his duties between Spade and Clover Kingdom.
Random airship attacks the magic knight entrance exam. Asta comes to the scene. The criminals note he has no magic power, and ask "who's this brat; what are you..."
Asta responds: "I am... THE WIZARD KING!!!"
Chapter ends. Black Clover ends.

The finale was predictable and fairly by-the-book, but so is the series as a whole so this feels appropriate. I'm glad the manga didn't shit the bed at the very end like some of its contemporaries, though in BC's case the issue is more so with the final arc overall. Given how obviously rushed things were due to Tabata's personal life and the switch to GIGA, I wonder if the anime will end up expanding on this stuff? There is recent precedent to this in the form of the final season of Bleach, which is even animated by the same studio, so it seems like a very realistic possibility and could help fix some of the more glaring problems. Things kinda started slowly falling apart ever since the Lucifero fight.
The final battle between Asta and Yuno was good. I like how it managed to showcase pretty much all of their notable techniques, including some from the early stages of the story. The fight could have been longer, but given the limited number of chapters left that would have meant neglecting other aspects of the ending so I'm willing to let it slide. The timeskip showing how everyone is doing is standard fare for these types of series. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is Yuno staying in Clover as a captain instead of fully embracing his duties as the king of Spade. Ideally I would have also liked to see Fuegoleon become the new king of Clover given that the other kingdoms are all ruled by spirit hosts as well. This could have even been part of removing the corrupt royals and nobles from power seeing how they were the root cause of the discrimination that Asta wanted to eliminate by becoming the Wizard King, but it seems like Tabata either forgot about this problem or decided that it was too late to try to address it at this point.
I'm personally indifferent to the shipping stuff but I know a relatively large segment of the audience cares about it, so it's a little strange that Tabata seemingly left Asta's love life open-ended. I've heard rumors about there being additional pages in the volume release or in some sort of a databook, so perhaps it will be addressed there. The random airship attack at the end may or may not be related to this as well. We've never seen tech like this before and the ship is also aesthetically distinct from something like the walking fortress that appeared in the Spade arc, so I guess these people are supposed to be from a different continent? You could probably write a special chapter about Asta fighting these guys together with his two main love interests and choosing one of them as his wife at the end of it. Alternatively Tabata could be trying to set up an epilogue movie akin to Naruto's 'The Last' featuringancient illegal aliens.
Overall, I very much enjoyed the series. The beginning was a bit slow for my tastes but things really picked up during the elf arc with all the slow burn buildup finally paying off in a great way. Unfortunately it seems like Tabata hadn't put anywhere near as much thought into the subsequent arcs. The Spade arc was good for the most part but I disliked how the devil conflict was largely skipped by jumping straight to Lucifero. This left a lot of questions unanswered, including some fundamental ones like why the devils exist in a different world separated by magic gates that even they can't destroy, and how humanity managed to push them back after the gates were opened in the distant past in an event that supposedly led to the deaths of 90% of the continent's population according to Loropechka's archives. The final arc is where things took a nosedive with the rushed pacing, abandoned plot threads, new characters being introduced just before the final battle even though they didn't even participate in it, and most importantly Lucius being a very lackluster final villain, as I've complained about in previous threads. I'm hoping that either a databook or the anime will answer some of the questions I raised and wrap up the unresolved plot points, as that would significantly improve my opinion of the final third of the series.
To wrap things up, it's been fun following the manga but I'm also glad to move on at last. The quarterly release schedule just killed most of the momentum and made it difficult to even keep track of recent developments. If Tabata has it in him to come back with another series after this he should probably aim for a biweekly magazine or maybe even a weekly one with regularly scheduled breaks since it seems like the manga industry is more lenient towards that kind of thing these days.

Asta's love interest hasn't been confirmed, but Charmy and Rill are. XD
A truly lackluster ending for Noelle. Essentially, she's a character who hasn't changed much. That is, almost a hundred chapters ago she realized she loved Asta and... that's it.

We hope so
The Last was not an epilogue anyway, it took place before the epilogue

I would say I’m disappointed with the ending… but it’s to be expected with how trash the manga has been AFTER the time skip.
learned absolutely NOTHING of dwarves.. don’t even know if Asta mom is alive or not…
Yuno wind spirit was supposedly the only one who can be that OP? Lol
the only and I mean the ONLY good thing about the ending is knowing my Goddess mereoleona was sparring with her man lol.

*Sigh*...
I liked it..dare I say, I enjoyed the ending. It's just a shame that the series bum rushed it's final arc. Hell, aside from Lucius himself, it's not like the final arc was bad, just disappointingly rushed. Even still, it left things off on a decent note. I do wish we had more time to explore, or even just kinda show eveidence of Clover under Asta's reign. Like, maybe show the Forsaken region villages being integrated into Clover or show Magic Knights and nobles passing out food to the lower class. You know, something to show that things are changing.
Will also say that the choreography of Asta and Yuno's final bout could've been better. In another time, we'd have gotten the Tabata that gave us Asta and Yami vs. Dante levels of choreography for this fight and gotten some creative back and forth between the two rivals. I mean, after everything the duo have been through, it's kinda odd that Yuno thought that simply dropping a boulder on Asta would've been enough to conclude things. I know we can't really do much about the situation and I imagine Tabata probably wanted to do more as well, but it's still a bit underwhelming. Still a fun fight though.
The final chapter was basically just nothing but ships sailing...except for Noelle and Mimosa. Which I find hilarious, tbh. People were at each others throat for those two and Tabata just doesn't address it. And you know what? I'm fine with it...because it means that my girl Mimosa has a shot in the end and I'm cool with that. I'm going to guess that the strongest Shining General from the Diamond Kingdom was related to the former King or she just became Queen due to her strength? Who knows, interesting to see nonetheless despite the Diamond Kingdom having absolutely no development since very early in the series.
Other than that, nothing much to really say. I enjoyed the series and I'll definitely reread for years to come.

Asta (or Yuno) becoming the wizard king this young is just illogical in a strategic way.
Yuno moving between the Spade kingdom and GD makes no sense, are you telling me no one but the royalty of another kingdom wants to be captain of the GD?
Also, how in the everloving biology did Rill and Charmy have seven children in two years lol
Well, all in all it was a really black clover-esque ending, it was OK. I enjoyed Charlotte-Yami bits very much.

It was a nice, if expected ending. I liked that my girl Mimosa was given a chance with the love triangle left open. The only real issue I have is that the nobles of the Clover kingdom were never punished, despite the majority of the problems being their fault. Doesn't help that canonically, we know they've been allowed to act against and even get rid of the Wizard Kings who they dislike.

We learnt in the Black Clover movie the history of several of the previous Wizard Kings, which upon displeasing the royals in trying to make the world better, would basically be betrayed and get their titles striped.
