Vermillion Fuegoleon is a highly respected and strong character in Black Clover. Fuegoleon is the captain of one of the nine Magic Knight squads in the Clover Kingdom. He is recognized for his strength, leadership, and strong sense of justice.

Similar to the main character Asta, Fuegoleon is another character who is super energetic. And just like Asta, Fuegoleon Vermillion is not dead in Black Clover. He had a very bad injury early in the story, but he comes back stronger which shows how strong he is. This article discusses the events around this speculation.

Who is Fuegoleon?

Fuegoleon is from the noble House Vermillion and is the leader of the Crimson Lion, one of the Magic Knight squads in the Clover Kingdom. As the leader of Crimson Lion, everyone admires him for always doing what he believes is the right thing and never backing down. Right from the beginning of the story, we can see how he helps teach Asta and the other young knights, which shows his nurturing side.

Fuegoleon stands out because of his amazing control of fire magic. He can create huge flames and shape them however he wants. And similar to his flames, Fuegoleon is very hot-blooded. He has a strong sense of justice and cares very deeply for his squad members. On many occasions, he has put himself in the way of danger to protect them.

Fuegoleon’s Near-Death Experience

During a big attack on the Clover Kingdom by a group called the Eye of the Midnight Sun, something terrible happened to Fuegoleon. While he was trying to protect everyone, he was teleported by Valtos (a member of the Eye of the Midnight Sun) into a trap. He was teleported to where William Vangeance as Patri was and was caught off guard and badly hurt. The attack was so severe that it put him in a deep coma that seemed like he was not waking up anytime soon.

What scared everyone even more was seeing his grimoire (magic book) open with completely blank pages. In the world of Black Clover, this is usually a very bad sign. Many people thought he might be dying or already dead. His family and squad members were very worried, and the whole kingdom felt his absence. Without his leadership and strength, the Crimson Lion and the Magic Knights as a whole were weaker.

Fuegoleon’s Return

After a while, Fuegoleon woke up from the coma better than ever. While he was in his coma, the Fire Spirit called Salamander chose him as its new partner. This was a huge power-up for him and the Clover Kingdom because Salamander had previously been with Fana. Fana was the Eye of the Midnight Sun’s Third Eye (one of the three leaders).

Getting Salamander’s power made Fuegoleon’s already strong fire magic even more powerful. The Fire Spirit gave him abilities he never had before, like creating living flames that could move and fight on their own. He could now fly using fire wings and create much stronger fire attacks. This new power put him among the strongest mages in the entire kingdom.

The Elf Reincarnation Arc

When Fuegoleon came back, the kingdom was facing a terrible crisis. Ancient elves had been reborn in human bodies, and they were incredibly powerful and hungry for revenge against humans. With his new Salamander powers, Fuegoleon was able to fight against some of these strong enemies when many others could not.

During this time, he showed that being in a coma did not change his good heart or brave spirit. He still protected the innocent and fought for what he thought was right. His tactical mind helped the Magic Knights plan their battles, and his powerful magic turned the tide in several important fights. Even against elves with weird and strong magic, Fuegoleon held his ground and protected the kingdom as a Magic Knight.

The Spade Kingdom Attack

Later, when an enemy nation called the Spade Kingdom attacked, Fuegoleon was right there on the front lines. As a captain, he led his squad into battle against very dangerous people called the Dark Triad. These enemies had devil powers and were trying to bring devils into the human world, which would ultimately destroy the whole world.

Fuegoleon showed how well he could use Salamander’s power by then. He created huge fire dragons, protective shields, and devastating attacks that could burn through almost anything. His leadership kept his squad together during the hardest fights, and his courage inspired everyone around him.

What made Fuegoleon special during this time wasn’t just his power, but his decision-making on their course of action. He knew when to attack, when to defend, and when to retreat. This smart fighting saved many lives and helped the Clover Kingdom stand against enemies that seemed impossible to beat.

Is He Dying Anytime Soon?

Based on what the Black Clover anime has shown us so far, it does not look like Fuegoleon will die soon. He already survived what would have killed any regular character in the show and bounced back. And now, he is a lot stronger than ever with the addition of Salamander’s power. He is too important to the story and to the Clover Kingdom to end his life at this point. Also, Yuki Tabata, the author, usually doesn’t kill off major good characters.

Of course, Black Clover is full of surprises and dangerous battles. No one is completely safe when fighting powerful devils and evil mages. But Fuegoleon has shown time and again that he can overcome almost any challenge. His fire magic, leadership skills, and the power of Salamander make him one of the toughest characters to defeat.

Conclusion

Fuegoleon Vermillion is definitely alive in Black Clover. Not only did he survive a terrible attack, but he came back stronger than before. His journey from being hurt and in a coma to becoming a Fire Spirit host shows just how tough and important he is.

Throughout the story, Fuegoleon has been a symbol of courage, leadership, and never giving up. Whether fighting elves, devil-powered enemies, or protecting his kingdom, he’s proven why he’s one of the most respected Magic Knights. As Black Clover continues, we can expect to see Fuegoleon keep fighting and growing even stronger, remaining important to the Clover Kingdom‘s defense.
