The Zogratis siblings were revealed with the start of the fights against the Spade Kingdom as the Dark Triad who were seeking to open up the gates of the underworld to unleash their respective devils on humanity. But as the fights against them continued, it was teased that they weren’t as big of a threat as they seemed despite all of their power as there was a mysterious fourth Zogratis sibling who had yet to be revealed in full. That was until the final twist cliffhanger from the latest chapter that introduces them to the series, Lucius Zogratis.ย
Chapter 331 of Black Clover brings the twist that the fourth Zogratis sibling is named Lucius Zogratis and works with the true third devil that ruled over the underworld, Astaroth of Time Magic. Twisting the knife even further, Julius Novachrono himself had revealed that he was actually this Zogratis sibling and thus is soon taken over by this missing Lucius. Revealing himself in full as the true final villain of the series, it’s teased that he had planned for the Dark Triad’s Advent of Qliphoth to fail in order to fuel his real goals.ย
With the series now going on a hiatus before returning for the final arc, “The Ultimate Wizard King,” there are still many questions about Lucius himself and what his actually plans for the world are. It’s teased that he had been hiding as Julius without Julius himself seemingly aware of this, but it won’t be until the series returns that we’ll get any of these questions answered. But what do you think?ย
