Exploring Mereoleona’s Absence in Black Clover Chapter 359

The recent leak of Black Clover chapter 359’s spoilers and raw scans has marked the highly anticipated return of Yuki Tabata’s manga series after a month-long hiatus. While fans eagerly delve into these leaked materials, it’s important to approach them with caution until the official release of the chapter on Monday, May 22, 2023, at 12:00 am JST. However, considering the historical accuracy of such leaks, readers can reasonably expect them to align with the actual content of the chapter.

Chapter 359 of Black Clover shifts its perspective back to the intense battle involving the Silva family, where Noelle unveils her newfound spirit companion and a remarkable new form. While this development is undeniably exciting, some fans have expressed surprise and even disappointment at the sudden shift in focus, as it diverges from where the series left off prior to the hiatus.

The final panels of chapter 358 hinted at a forthcoming emphasis on Mereoleona Vermillion’s struggles against Moris Libardirt. Therefore, many readers are left questioning why chapter 359 seemingly moves away from this pivotal fight.

In a brief recap of the chapter’s spoilers, chapter 359 opens with a shift to the Silva family, with Acier expressing pride in Nozel’s strength while chastising Nebra and Solid for their perceived weaknesses, which she believes could have been avoided. Acier also apologizes to her family for her untimely demise but happily states that they have a chance at a new life in Lucius’ envisioned world. Noelle then arrives and acknowledges that the woman before them may bear resemblance to their mother, Acier, but is not truly her. Hence, Noelle insists they must unite to defeat her.

Nozel confirms that Noelle has lost Undine, and a flashback ensues, revealing Kahono’s plea for Noelle’s assistance in taming the ancient dragon-like being known as the “Sea God.” Upon their encounter, the Sea God chooses Noelle as its host due to her exceptional water mage skills, leading to a contract between them. As a result, the Sea God takes on a spirit-like form, which Noelle names Leviathan. Noelle, now empowered by her transformation into Valkyrie Dress: Dragon Form, declares her intention to surpass Acier’s strength. Acier expresses joyous pride in Noelle’s current power, bringing chapter 359 to a close.

As fans eagerly await the official release of Black Clover chapter 359, they are left wondering about Tabata’s decision to deviate from focusing on Mereoleona. One plausible explanation, and perhaps the most likely, is that Tabata aimed to create a grandiose and attention-grabbing return from the hiatus.

In this regard, he has undeniably succeeded, as Noelle’s power-up and the intriguing lore revealed through the flashback add depth and possibilities to the series, even in its final arc. Moreover, the impending confrontation between Acier and her children promises to captivate fans, contributing to the impactful return from the hiatus.

Another possibility is that Tabata intentionally chose to offscreen a portion of Mereoleona’s fight against Moris, reserving it for subsequent chapters to showcase her encountering serious difficulties. Given the tone set thus far in the battle, such an approach aligns with the narrative and amplifies the emotional distress concerning Mereoleona’s safety.

It is worth considering that Acier is established as one of the strongest fighters in the series’ history. By first showcasing Acier’s prowess as a Paladin, Tabata may be setting the stage for Mereoleona to surpass even her revered former mentor’s achievements.

However, these speculations are purely conjecture, as no official commentary from Tabata regarding this decision is currently available. Nonetheless, as subsequent chapters are released, fans will likely gain insight into Tabata’s underlying intentions. Overall, while readers may question this narrative choice, the majority remains far from displeased with the series’ return, offering more curiosity than criticism.
