Asta is currently going through the most important training he has had in his life under the supervision of Nacht, the Black Bull Vice Captain. Along the course of his preparation, he also comes up with the official name of his newest sword.

‘Black Clover’ chapter 271 spoilers, leaks: Asta names his new sword

Asta has gotten past his issues with Liebe, the Anti-Magic demon that has been sealed in his body. The two have now agreed to work together as they have the same enemies. But Asta has yet to learn how to use the full power of Liebe.

Rough translations of the leaked “Black Clover” chapter 271 scans suggest that it could be titled “Assimilation.” It appears to be a reference to what Asta needs to do to maximize Liebe’s full potential. One of the definitions of the word “assimilate” is “to take in and utilize as nourishment” or “to absorb into the system,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

That appears to be the thing Asta and Liebe needs to learn. The first pages of “Black Clover” chapter 271 show that activating Black Asta shrinks Liebe’s form. Per the fan translations of the leaks, Nacht seems to explain that Asta is just taking Liebe’s power when he uses this form. Going by that explanation, it appears that Liebe becomes smaller because Asta is merely borrowing his power.

Nacht reiterates in “Black Clover” chapter 271 that Asta needs to “unite” with Liebe so he can use 100% of his Anti-Magic abilities. The Vice Captain attacks Asta with his Shadow Magic by creating a pack of monsters to attack Asta. Thanks to his ability to read ki, Asta realizes that the shadow monsters share the same ki as Nacht so defeating them would mean attacking his Vice Captain.

Asta will then bring out his newest weapon – the katana he got from Yami. In several fan translations, Asta reportedly calls the katana the “Demon Decapitator.” One of the unofficial translations noted, however, that the Kanji used (斬) to refer to the katana could also mean to forcefully behead or cut something. While fans are already liking the “Demon Decapitator” name, it is still best to wait for the official translation before getting too attached to it.
