Chapter Summaries

Supreme demons from two other Hades layers arrived with their armies, and Aramaki awakened a Treefolk Legion to help defend the World Government’s territory. As Aramaki went to face Baal and Adrammelech, Hamura and Teresa discovered that the Gate of Hades had vanished, cutting off their return to the Shinobi World.

• Teresa ordered the Empress Spaceship to leave Hades, but black vortices opened in the sky and summoned demon armies from other layers.
• Aramaki and Hamura realized that Baal and Adrammelech had arrived alongside Moryo, bringing forces that threatened to overwhelm their defenses.

• Hamura, Teresa, Tsuru, and the others discovered that the Gate of Hades had vanished, leaving them unable to return to the Shinobi World.

The Gate of Hades vanished, cutting off the Hades First Layer from the Shinobi World as Aramaki battled two supreme demons. Meanwhile, Morris opened a new Gate of Hades through the Tree of Evil in the Black Spade Kingdom, but Zenon’s demonic power stalled at 80%.

• Aramaki fought Adrammelech and Baal while Lucifero and the other supreme demons watched and prepared to intervene if the trio failed.

• Demons poured into the Black Spade Kingdom as Dante and Vanica reached 100% demonic power, while Zenon’s power stopped at 80% and he blamed Beelzebub.

Asta defeated the Demon God attacking the Clover Kingdom, then joined the Black Bulls in heading to the Spade Kingdom to rescue Nacht and Jack from Dante. As the Hades First Layer war intensified and Megicula went to the Spade Kingdom, Imu learned the Gate of Hades had vanished and decided to open another one.

• The Demon God attacked the Clover capital, and Julius and Damnatio failed to stop it before Asta arrived with Liebe and destroyed it using Devil Union and Black Divider.

Aramaki fought Baal and Adrammelech in Hades First Layer while the World Government opened a Medium Star Gate, turning the conflict into a full invasion. As reinforcements and black war vehicles poured through, the Hades demons prepared to defend their realm.

• Baal and Adrammelech attacked Aramaki together, but his Future Sight and Sukunahikona let him evade their attacks and counter them.
• Adrammelech told Aramaki he could not return and urged him to become a demon, but Aramaki declared he would open the Star Gate and conquer Hades.
• A colossal Star Gate opened, alarming Baal and Adrammelech and prompting Lucifero in Hades Seventh Layer to prepare a defense of Hades First Layer.
• Hashirama Senju, Edward Newgate, Madara Uchiha, and Sakazuki passed through the gate and attacked the demons, boosting the defenders' morale.
• M270 Self-Propelled Rocket Launchers began passing through the Star Gate as the World Government's real trump card for the Amaterasu Hades operation plan.

Imu sent a massive force into Hades First Layer, where rocket barrages carrying Amaterasu Talismans created an expanding sea of inextinguishable black flames that burned through the demon hordes. As Hades's rulers watched in shock, ten intercontinental missile launchers emerged from the Star Gate, ready to strike deep into the plane.

• Imu used his remaining permission to upgrade the Star Gate to Hades into a Medium Star Gate and sent three hundred M270 launchers through it.
• The M270s fired 3,600 rockets toward the demon hordes, with Amaterasu Talismans turning the resulting explosions into spreading black flames.
• The black flames burned demons and their magic, forming a vast barrier around the camp and Divine Tree as Adrammelech, Baal, Moryo, and Hades's rulers watched in alarm.
• Lucifero recognized that Nahama's Demonic Flame could counter the black fire, but noted that Nahama had been killed by Sakazuki.
• Ten intercontinental ballistic missile launchers carrying hydrogen warheads fitted with Amaterasu Talismans quietly entered Hades First Layer to strike targets deep within it.

Ten intercontinental missiles launched toward the demons, and Adrammelech shot one down near a Gate of Hades. Its nuclear blast unleashed Amaterasu flames that swept through the gate and struck Morris’s underground ritual as Asta and the Black Bulls arrived.

• Ten missile crews launched their intercontinental missiles, then left through the Star Gate.

• Morris admired the demon army and the knowledge stored in his mind as he waited to serve Satan.
• Black flames erupted from Morris’s magic array, swallowed him, and burst through Spade Kingdom Royal Castle before the arriving Black Bulls.

Asta and the resistance fought the demons as the Black Bulls and their allies battled the Dark Triad, while mysterious black flames erupted from the castle and closed the Gate of Hades. Ainor defeated Vanica, but Megicula emerged from her body.

• Noelle, Finral, Charmy, Magna, Gaja, and the others wiped out the demons attacking the resistance, while Asta rushed into the castle and found Jack fighting Dante.

• Megicula's devil mana erupted from Vanica and formed the supreme demon before Ainor could strike her down.

Megicula weakened the Black Clover fighters while forcing the devilized Lolopechka to battle Jaka. In Hades First Layer, ten nuclear bombs and thousands of rockets created vast black-flame zones that halted the devils’ advance, and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki joined Hamura and Aramaki to defend the front.

• Megicula explained that she needed Lolopechka’s soul to complete her descent, then used Burst­ing Life to transform Lolopechka into a devil.
• Megicula weakened Noelle’s water magic with World of Decay and tried to control Charlotte and Rill with Unrestrained Slave, while Rill fought back with Twilight Valhalla.

• Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki arrived to join Hamura and Aramaki in holding Hades First Layer.

Lucifero monitored the devils’ setbacks in the Black Clover World and the World Government’s invasion of Hades, but chose not to intervene personally. After Asta and Yuno killed Morris, the devil invasion temporarily ended, leaving the Amaterasu Black Flame in the castle to be dealt with.

• Lucifero learned that Dante, Zenon, and Megicula had been defeated, and Dante’s soul came into its possession through their contract.
• Lucifero watched Morris fight Asta, Yuno, Nacht, Nozel, and Fuegoleon, and considered taking control of Morris to help him win.
• Lucifero sent Lucifugus to contain the nuclear-blast black flames in Hades’s First Layer and ordered Adrammelech and Baal to support Moryo against the World Government.
• The World Government and the devils maintained a tense standoff because the First Layer could not withstand more than five supreme devils fighting at once.
• Asta and Yuno killed Morris, ending the devil invasion in the Black Clover World for the time being, while the Amaterasu Black Flame still burned through the castle.

After returning from Hades, Teresa told Imu about Tsuru’s stalled growth, and he advised Tsuru to build on the Wash-Wash Fruit with holy light as support. Tsuru found a new purpose and formed a Justice Angel transformation, then vanished to an unknown destination instead of going to Imu’s palace.

• Teresa returned to Noah with the Claymore Angel Corps and told Imu that holy light had purified part of Hades and described Tsuru’s situation.
• Imu advised Tsuru to focus on the Wash-Wash Fruit, use holy light as support, strengthen her conviction, and find a new goal.

• Tsuru absorbed the holy light into her awakened Wash-Wash Fruit ability and transformed into her Justice Angel form, remaining human.
• Tsuru said Imu had guided her transformation and vanished as light, but she did not head for Imu’s palace.

Teach joined the Army and went to Impel Down to remove his Devil Fruit powers, where Redfield sent him to the Underworld for the procedure.

• On March 4, Natsuhoshi sent a video of golden light pouring from a restaurant dish, and Minister Kaze Fufeng questioned whether the glowing food was supernatural.

The Otherworld Strategic Committee learned that World No. 0011 was a technologically advanced but militarily weak society where chefs settled conflicts through supernatural cooking contests. The World Government proceeded with plans to conquer it while instructing the Astral Legion to spare chefs, and Imu finally identified it as the Food Wars World rather than the world of Gourmet Hunters.
