Black Clover Reveals More of Yami’s Past With His Sister

Black Clover has been using the first phase of the final arc of the series to highlight Captain Sukehiro Yami’s past, and the newest chapter of the series has revealed more of his life with his younger sister Ichika! The final arc of the series has kicked off Asta’s final training arc as now he needs to master a new kind of technique and use of anti-magic power in order to stand a real chance against Lucius Zogratis when they have their rematch. Doing so has brought him closer to Yami’s younger sister, and is now shedding some light on some dark pieces of Sukehiro’s past as a result.

Now that Ichika has begun training with Asta, she’s revealed that her brother killed her entire family in their past before moving over to the Clover Kingdom. The newest chapter of the series continues this very intense conversation between the two of them as Asta refuses to believe that this is the truth, but a flashback looking into Ichika’s past with her older brother revealed that the two of them indeed have a close connection before her brother stood in a bloody pile in the rest of her family. 

What Happened Between Yami and His Sister? 

Chapter 342 of Black Clover sees Ichika opening up more about the past of the Yami clan overall. Explaining that they are descendants of a group of assassins, their clan has worked for the Ryudo clan for many centuries. It’s revealed that Sukehiro and Ichika’s father was abusive and hated the fact that despite their clan in the past being a big deal, they are no longer at that level anymore. As a result, he had been forcing his children into intense levels of training…even threatening to harm Ichika because she looked like her late mother.

Yami defended Ichika from their father’s wrath, so it was clear that the two shared a good connection before the awful happens. There’s a jump in time as we see how Ichika sees Yami standing over the bloodied bodies of the rest of their family, so there’s likely a gap in how she perceived the situation as well. Now it’s just a matter of figuring out what fills in the blanks as Asta finds out more about Yami’s past.
