Black Clover Fans Praise Mereoleona as the Top Shonen Female Character

Despite Paladin Moris’ domination over Mereoleona Vermillion in their fight, fans were aware of the fact that his abilities enabled him to regenerate his body and weaken his opponents. As a result, Mereoleona had lost one of her arms, causing concern among viewers.

Despite facing overwhelming odds, Mereoleona, the alleged spoilers of the manga’s chapter 371, managed to make a triumphant return. This was initiated by a flashback that unveiled Mereoleona’s past and the events that led to her incredible strength.
