Finally, Lucius is dead! This batch of Black Clover chapters was a great read. Some of my concerns were addressed in this section. Having everyone see Astra directly challenge Lucius's ideal and reaffirm his existence makes it believable that the citizens would also want Astra to be the Wizard King, along with Yuno. It was satisfying to see Noelle get a hit in on Lucius.
I would have preferred the consequences of the arc to be permanent, but that's part of what a Wizard King is supposed to be. The light that protects the kingdom. It's a fitting conclusion within the story existing themes that it works. I've had major issues with Lucius as a character, so seeing his betrayed expression at the end was the icing on the cake.
It seems like the next batch should be the end of the series, unless a small conflict occurs. I can't see it being prolonged anymore. It's been a fun ride.
