Black Clover’s Anime Really Needs to Come Back ASAP

Black Clover’s Anime Really Needs to Come Back ASAP

As a seasoned gamer and avid manga reader, I can confidently say that the return of Black Clover is long overdue, but the timing couldn’t be more perfect. With the final arc of Yuki Tabata’s masterpiece nearly upon us, it’s high time for the TV anime adaptation to make its grand comeback too.


The popular anime series “Black Clover” is preparing to resume its journey as the original manga reaches its conclusion, and it’s about time for the television adaptation to reappear as well. In contrast to many other franchises from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine wrapping up this past year, “Black Clover” finds itself in a unique position. Following the transition to a new quarterly release schedule for Jump GIGA magazine, series creator Yuki Tabata has been diligently working through the final chapters of the manga’s storyline, detailing the climactic battles that will decide the future of the Clover Kingdom.

The Black Clover manga is wrapping up soon, with a likely conclusion in the next year. The impending chapter this month hints at the commencement of the final battle, which suggests that the storyline will be drawing to a close. This leaves ample time for the television adaptation to resume in 2025, providing a seamless continuation. Coincidentally, 2025 also marks the end of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime run, making it an ideal opportunity for Black Clover to pick up where it left off, potentially transitioning smoothly from one to the other.

Black Clover’s Manga Is Almost Done

For the past year, the storyline in Black Clover has been leading up to the climactic battles between Asta and Lucius Zogratis’ Paladins. Each new update this year has moved the series a step closer to its grand finale. If there was ever a concern about resuming the Black Clover anime before the manga concluded, those worries are likely to dissipate soon. Unlike the original TV anime which included minimal unique content despite being weekly releases, this wouldn’t have been a problem if the TV series returned before these final chapters began.

The timing is shaping up nicely, given that it’s highly probable that the manga for “Black Clover” will conclude soon, with just a couple more updates remaining. If the upcoming issue this month (rumored to encompass three chapters totaling 61 pages) does initiate the climactic battle between Asta, Yuno, and Lucius Zogratis, it suggests we might be nearing the final stages, possibly only one or two more updates away. “Black Clover” manga is likely to wrap up in 2025, paving the way for the anime to resume in 2026 with its concluding episodes.

The Timing Will Just Work Out With Black Clover’s Anime

The main concern would be where this project fits into Studio Pierrot’s busy production timeline. Known for creating the original TV anime series, they are the likely contenders to resume it once Black Clover is prepared for another season. However, they have quite a few significant Shonen Jump projects on their plate. Not only is Boruto: Naruto Next Generations currently experiencing an extended break in its TV anime run, but Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War still needs to complete and air the remaining two quarters of its series before concluding.

The timing aligns perfectly there. For the upcoming series Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Pierrot has expanded by establishing a new subsidiary, Pierrot Films. The nature of the projects this studio will tackle is still under wraps, but considering its capabilities, Black Clover seems like an ideal match. By the time Bleach concludes its anime series next year with its final set of episodes, the manga for Black Clover will have been completed and prepared for a complete adaptation.

Beyond the logical reasons for bringing Black Clover anime back, there’s a strong emotional appeal. Over its weekly episodes, the anime has consistently delivered remarkable sequences and battles that have left fans in awe across each arc. This warrants celebration, and it seems fitting to bring it back for a grand finale. Many fans of the TV series may be following the manga only because they’re anticipating an animated conclusion.

Black Clover’s Anime Ended on a Massive Cliffhanger

The TV adaptation of ‘Black Clover’ concluded after 171 episodes, leaving fans eager for more as it ended abruptly before the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc. In the last episodes, Asta discovered a new type of power and hinted at a stronger alliance with his anti-magic demon companion, promising tougher battles in the future. Interestingly, this is not even close to the conclusion of Yuki Tabata’s manga series.

The anime adaptation of ‘Black Clover’ concludes roughly at Chapter 270 of Yuki Tabata’s manga, with Asta and his comrades in the Clover Kingdom gearing up for a three-day training session before the Zogratis siblings initiate the Advent of Qliphoth. Since the anime ended, over 100 new chapters (currently at Chapter 373) have been released in the manga, providing more than enough content for the anime to cover when it resumes adaptation.

The storyline encompasses the Spade Kingdom Raid arc, a training arc sandwiched in between events, and not forgetting the upcoming final chapter of the series. This clearly demonstrates the extensive ground that the Black Clover anime must cover, and it’s only a matter of time before it does so. Given how successful Black Clover’s TV series has been so far, its return for the concluding arcs is certain to be even more popular, as fans have been eagerly anticipating the resolution to the storyline for quite some time now.
