Who Will Become The 29th Wizard King in Black Clover?

Young Asta and Yuno forged a bond over their ambitious goal of becoming the next Wizard King, which has hooked us to the series.

And since the fight against elves, Novachrono’s absence (technically) has left us with but one question: who’ll be the next Wizard King?

To become the Wizard King (or Magic Emperor), one must be acknowledged as the strongest Knight in the kingdom and have a plethora of merits – Hence the next in line is definitely the bearer of Fire Spirit, Salamander.

Fuegoleon Vermillion, captain of the Crimson Lions, will become the next Wizard King of the Clover Kingdom. He’ll succeed Julius Novachrono to become the 29th Magic Emperor in Black Clover sometime around the final chapter of the manga.

Yuno and Asta may have jumped the ladder with their talent and hard work – but it is definitive that they’re not ready to rule a kingdom as of yet.

Why Fuegoleon will become the next Wizard King?

Officially, there hasn’t been any selection, but most of the fans are betting on Fuegoleon, especially after his power boost with the Salamander.

Here’s why he is best suited for the job.

Magical Powers

• Fire Magic
• Creation Magic
• Restraining Magic
• Reinforcement Magic
• Compound Magic
• Spirit Magic

Fuegoleon has been shown capable of assessing situations quickly and giving out orders, as seen during the Royal Capital’s invasion. His charismatic personality effortlessly oozes into a leadership ability fit to guide.

Fuegoleon is known to be fair and pays no heed to social status when it comes to judging a person. He opts to judge people by their true worth, established when he defended Asta against House Silva’s oppression.

His actions are driven by justice, and he holds a no-nonsense attitude. Although, as a noble, he carries enough pride to be offended by any impoliteness or condescension. He proves to be a good and a just leader with Wizard Level powers.

In addition, now that he has Salamander, the nature spirit with the highest attack power out of all the four great nature spirits, he has leveled up considerably.

Salamander is a fire spirit with an immense reserve of magic power and can produce fire hot enough to melt Nozel Silva’s Silver Spears and boil Noelle Silva’s Water Magic.

What about the other Magic Knight captains?

The Magic Knight Captains are a group of skilled and powerful mages who serve the Clover Kingdom, and quite a few are worthy of the Wizard King status.

I. William Vangeance

Ah, let’s talk about William Vangeance, the first captain of the Golden Dawn Squad. This guy had a wild ride, let me tell you.

For a while, he shared his body with the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, Patolli. Yeah, imagine dealing with that kind of crazy situation!

William is a stand-up guy, and he’s got a tight bond with Julius, the previous Wizard King. Like Yami, Willian was a part of Azure Deer – Julius’ squad back from his captain days.

But, and here’s the twist, there’s a little snag in his claim to the throne.

The events from the Elf Resurrection arc weren’t entirely his fault, but he got caught up in it.

And now, he’s carrying the weight of what happened, even though he didn’t ask for it. So, while William Vangeance is a top-notch candidate, his guilt from the past might just get in the way of his shot at becoming the next Wizard King.

II. Yami Sukehiro

Yami Sukehiro will not become the next Wizard King either.

Now, there are a bunch of reasons why – he’s not fit to rule a Kingdom. More likely than not, he’ll end up beating some of the citizens.

However, the bigger reason is his current character arc. Yami will most likely go back to his hometown, Hino country, aka “Land of the Sun.”

III. Mereoleona Vermillion

Mereoleona is a noblewoman of House Vermillion and the current captain of the Crimson Lion – one of the top Knight Squads. In terms of power, Mereoleona is also worth considering for the title of Wizard King (or Queen, in her case).

But it is doubtful that she would agree to the role as she dislikes the Royal Capital and spends most of her time in the wilderness.

To conclude, she’s a worthy candidate, but she doesn’t want the job. What can you do?

IV. Nozel Silva

Nozel Silva is a noble from the House Silva nobleman and Silver Eagle’s captain. Unlike Fuegoleon, Nozel is quite an arrogant man who considers himself superior and is Fuegoleon’s rival.

Ability-wise, Nozel is a great contender for the Wizard King. Still, seeing a discriminative and haughty King in the position would be slightly jarring.

He condemns the absence of his House when Fuegoleon is injured and is genuinely respectful of his peers. Nozel’s candidacy is worth mentioning.

Will Yuno go to rule the Spade Kingdom?

Yuno Grinberryall is the deuteragonist, having the role of Asta’s rival and Possessing two Grimoires. He has been blessed with the rare four-leaf Clover Grimoire, which is only possessed by the strongest Mages.

Speaking about his powers, Yuno has access to the wind spirit named Sylph, which enables him to access Spirit Dive – an ability that boosts his power exponentially.

While Yuno has the potential to become the next Wizard King of Clover Kingdom even at such a young age, he won’t. He’ll most likely become the ruler of the Spade Kingdom as its rightful heir.

Once he becomes strong enough to defeat the remaining members of the Dark Triad, Dante and Vanica Zogratis, the third member Zenon Zogratis is defeated by Asta and Yami.

Will Asta ever become the Wizard King?

Asta will become the 30th or 31st Wizard King of the Clover Kingdom, most likely after a time skip at the end of the Black Clover manga.

Just as Luffy wants to become the Pirate King or how Naruto wanted to become the Hokage.

Everything in the plot leads up to Asta becoming the Wizard King, and since the Manga is nearing its end, we will likely see a timeskip where Asta finally becomes the Wizard King.

However, for now, Fuegoleon Vermillion will become the 29th Wizard King, as Asta will probably be a Vice-Captain or hold some other rank.

Some theories have surfed up about Asta ruling hell while Yuno rules all the card kingdoms. But that doesn’t seem plausible anymore because all the devils have come out anyway.
