'Black Clover' Episode 160 Preview, Synopsis, Spoilers: The Spade Kingdom's Wizards Attack

The Spade Kingdom is going full-on assault mode as its wizards target one of the strongest forces of the Clover Kingdom in "Black Clover" Episode 160.

The episode is reportedly titled "The Messenger of the Spade Kingdom."

Twitter user BCspoiler shared the synopsis for Episode 160 hinting at two major plotlines. As the Spade Kingdom prepares to attack the Clover Kingdom, the secret of Yuno's birth is revealed.

The Golden Dawn comes under attack when a contingent of wizards from the Spade Kingdom strikes their headquarters. With the vice-captain of Golden Dawn, Yuno, away, the remaining members decide to defend the headquarters.

The spoilers suggest the Golden Dawn members are severely outnumbered and they desperately need backup.

"Asta and Yuno were abandoned as babies in front of a church in the village of Hage at the border of the Clover Kingdom. The secret of Yuno's birth is revealed! Meanwhile, the HQ of the Golden Dawn is under attack by the wizards of Spade Kingdom, who suddenly appeared in the absence of their vice-captain, Yuno. The members of the group fight back but the strength of the enemy is overwhelming, as they try to capture their leader and bring him back to their own country. The Golden Dawn, which is supposed to be the strongest in the Clover Kingdom, is being hunted down," the synopsis read, as tweeted by BCspoiler.

The current arc of "Black Clover" anime introduces the Dark Triad – Dante Zogratis, Vanica and Zenon. Toward the end of "Black Clover" Episode 158, the Dark Triad members meet to discuss the next phase of their plan.

Zenon informs Dante about the fallen Candelo fortress near the border. But Dante calls it a small incident. Meanwhile, Vanica announces she is ready for a bigger mission. Dante compliments her and declares that they are ready to execute their next move against the Heart and Clover Kingdoms.

With the Spade Kingdom attacking the strongest force of the Clover Kingdom, the message is loud and clear.

"Black Clover" Episode 160 is scheduled to air on Jan. 19, 4.25 a.m. ET. The episodes are streaming on Crunchyroll.
