Nacht’s devil appears in ‘Black Clover’ chapter 262

Another important part of “Black Clover” chapter 262 is the brief interaction between Asta and Nacht before they arrive at the meeting. Nacht’s supposed devil appears in this sequence, but many fans are not convinced if it is a real demon because of its form and how it addresses Nacht.

But the devil appears during Nacht and Asta’s interaction and calls the latter “chibi” -- a Japanese slang word describing someone as being short. Nacht responds by saying the demon is also chibi, which is accurate because it is almost the same size as the bird Nero. But the demon dismisses it while calling Nacht “master,” saying this is only his night form. These leaked scenes have led fans into asking if it is really a devil.
