Black Clover Reveals Asta's New Power

Black Clover is now in the midst of the first major stage of the final arc of the series overall, and the newest chapter of the series has revealed how Asta can actually boost his power in order to be ready for the final fight! Now that the series has kicked off the final arc in full, Asta took a huge loss to Lucius Zogratis. It was immediately clear that Asta's strength would not be strong enough to defeat the villain, and now he's looking for a way to potentially train and get stronger before the final war for humanity begins in full.

After waking up in the Land of the Sun, Asta realized that he made it to Captain Yami's home country when he was moved by the brainwashed Sister Lily's terrifying spatial magic. But knowing that he's too weak to do anything for now, there's actual some new hope in a technique they honed in this country. Previously learning about Ki from Yami, it turns out that Asta can get some much needed new strength through learning something called "Zetten" which will allow him to tap into all of the anti-magic within his body.

With the previous chapter of the series teaching Asta about Yoryoku (which the Land of the Sun calls its magic power), Chapter 339 of the series takes it to a new level. It's revealed that the technique that Yami's sister Ichika used is called Zetten. It's a technique that turns Ki into Yoryoku, and harnesses it to a fine point that then explodes with power in a single strike. Ichika demonstrates this by cutting through a bamboo shoot, and it's supposed to be a technique Asta needed lots of training for. 

But after Ryuya tells him to use the Anti-Magic within him as his Yoryoku, Asta quickly puts everything he's learned together and replicates the technique. Not only that, but his anti-magic makes his Zetten much more fearsome as he dries up a bamboo that had been stacked with lots of magical power. Now Asta has a new key to make himself ready for the final fight, and it's just a matter of training with it as much as he can before getting back to the main fight. 

How do you feel about Asta's use of Ki being the key to making him stronger for the final battle? Do you think this will close the gap against Lucius?
