Black Clover is Finally Revealing Sister Lily's True Power (2024)

Warning: Spoilers for Black Clover chapter 344Although transformed into a Paladin, Sister Lily will undoubtedly soon show her true powers in her first full-fledged battle against Asta in upcoming chapters of Black Clover.

The only time Black Clover's Sister Lily ever really fought happened quite a few chapters ago during the Reincarnation Elf arc when the mage Digit Taliss, under the control of an elf spirit, attacks Asta and Yuno's hometown of Hage. To defend the children of her village, she only casts a spell called Holy Fist of Love, which conjures water aptly in the shape of a massive fist that punches hard against the possessed mage. Then, after the villain Lucius Zogratis uses soul manipulation magic to transform her into a mind-controlled Paladin, she uses an unnamed spell that transports Asta to Asta's home country of Hino.

Now in chapter 344 of Black Clover by Yūki Tabata, she and two other Paladins, one of whom is named Yrul, are in a stand-off against five members of Hino's Ryuzen Seven with the intent to begin fighting at any moment. With the majority of the chapter providing a brief flashback explaining how and why Sister Lily and her fellow Paladins arrived in Hino, there likely won't be anything else getting in the way of their battle next chapter, unless it focuses entirely on Asta's training with two other members of the Ryuzen Seven.

What Type of Magic Paladin Sister Lily Will Use in Black Clover

The only caveat is that it's possible that after Lucius soul manipulated Sister Lily into a Paladin, she lost everything that made her who she was and now only possesses the power of the Paladins. The main clue lies in the fact that the normal Sister Lily obviously possesses water magic based on her brief run-in with the elf-possessed mage Digit Taliss, and when Sister Lily transports Asta to Hino as a Paladin, the spell she casts isn't water-based. (It doesn't require an incantation either). Since very few mages can conjure more than one type of magic, it's likely that this latest spell is proprietary to Paladins. So unless Paladin Sister Lily can wield both her original magic and the new magic she acquired as a Paladin, readers may never get to see her normal water-based spells in this particular battle. It is promising, however, that Sister Lily's Paladin comrade named Yrul possesses a grimoire and uses beast magic to summon the Wicked-No sacred dragon because that means she, too, likely still has her own grimoire and can therefore conjure her own water-based spells as well. Hopefully, she'll cast more than just Water Creation Magic: Holy Fist of Love.

Of course, what will happen in this upcoming battle will never be the same as Sister Lily fighting as herself and not as a Paladin since she's clearly an altered version of who she once was. But it's still a treat nonetheless to see what kind of magic she had under her belt before Lucius manipulated Sister Lily's soul into a Paladin. The elf-possessed Digit Taliss already confirmed that Sister Lily was strong, implying she could be a noble or maybe even royalty, so these new spells that she will hopefully cast could shed more light on who she was before becoming a woman of the cloth in Black Clover.
