This article contains spoilers for “Black Clover” manga chapters.

“Black Clover” chapter 256 is speculated to showcase a Yami-Dante face off. Towards the end of chapter 255, Yami and Dante get ready for a battle.

The previous chapter opens with Noelle advancing towards Vanica. She is determined to get rid of the devil. Noelle yells at her and vows that she will not let her kill Lolopechka. Noelle launches her Point-blank Sea Dragon’s Roar Red Beast attack.

Despite Vanica and her devil Megicula being extremely power, Noelle manages to pierce her. But to Noelle’s shock, Vanica tells her that her attacks are pointless.

However, a panel shows Noelle’s grimoire is glowing, and it is likely that she might get a new spell.

Due to Noelle’s attack, Vanica acknowledges her. It appears that she respects her opponent, no matter how weak she is.

Noelle reminds her that she is a Clover Kingdom royal and a Magic Knight with the Black Bulls. Megicula thinks that it would be wise to destroy the wisdom of the Heart Kingdom. However, Vanica tells her devil that they should not kill Lolopechka, and she has a better idea.

Vanica wants to take Lolopechka to the Spade Kingdom. But she remembers fighting someone like Noelle ages ago.

She recalls that when she took a little child hostage, Acier got super strong. Vanica believes that if they take Lolopechka hostage, Noelle will get stronger as she is her precious friend.

Later, Vanica uses her Curse Warding Magic - Exploding Life, which allows her to detonate the devil power she gave to her disciples. Vanica tells Noelle that she is taking away Lolopechka, and she will be waiting for her in the Spade Kingdom.

The ending of the chapter shows a glimpse of Yami vs. Dante. Yami declares that he will show Dante his true power of a regular human.

Interestingly, “Black Clover” chapter 256 is likely to showcase two battles - Yami vs. Dante’s and Noelle vs. Vanica.

“Black Clover” chapter 256 is scheduled to release Sunday (July 5). Fans can read the chapter officially on Viz and Manga Plus.
