Black Clover Kicks Off 2025 With Two New Chapters: What to Know

Black Clover is all set for a grand resurgence this year, with its much-anticipated comeback unfolding through two fresh chapters that mark the closing stages of the series. The manga has been on a rollercoaster ride in the past year, as Yuki Tabata moved from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump to the more relaxed quarterly release schedule of Jump GIGA magazine for the concluding chapter of the story. This change has led to a sporadic release of chapters every few months, and readers have already witnessed some epic clashes.

In this revised schedule, every fresh installment from “Black Clover” has been substantial, delivering not a single chapter but several per season. This arrangement enables creator Tabata to present numerous crucial battles from the climactic arc, and that trend continues with the initial update we’re about to witness – Asta and Yuno engaging in their final duel against Lucius Zogratis. Expect plenty of surprises and turns before this epic confrontation concludes.

Black Clover Returns for Chapters 377 & 378

I’ve just noticed that Black Clover, my favorite manga, has come back with chapters 377 and 378. These latest installments span an impressive 46 pages. Over the course of the updates we received last year, it’s been fascinating to watch as the final arc unfolded, pitting our heroes against Lucius and the Paladins in a series of significant battles. Last season saw the culmination of those fights, with the final chapter demonstrating how Yami, Ichika, and Nacht combined their powers to vanquish Morgen, a Paladin. However, that was merely the conclusion of the major battles, as there were still Lucius’ clones remaining to be defeated before we could move any closer to the grand finale.

In Chapter 377, we learn that all the Paladin fights ended approximately at the same time, and since Asta has returned to the battlefield, the Black Bulls strengthened by Anti-Magic are managing to defeat the Lucius clones. This implies that only one fight remains, between Asta and Yuno against Lucius himself in Chapter 378 of the series. However, it’s clear that things aren’t wrapping up just yet.

When Is Black Clover Going to End?

Although Black Clover appears to be approaching its final battle against Lucius, it’s challenging to imagine that the series is any nearer to its conclusion than it was previously. So far, Lucius seems to have outmaneuvered every move made by Asta and Yuno, and while Asta has thrown a spanner in the works by existing outside of Lucius’ future visions, it’s plausible that he still has a surprise or two left before he can be vanquished entirely.

Despite concluding their grand battle, Black Clover has more unexplored themes left to delve into before it reaches its final conclusion. The climactic part of the story, referred to as the Ultimate Wizard King arc, is set to reveal who truly deserves the title of the Wizard King. Even after their fight with Lucius concludes, Asta and Yuno’s rivalry seems destined to persist, waiting to unfold its chapters.

With this latest update, the battle against Lucius reaches a significant turning point, yet by the end of Chapter 378, it’s evident that there are still many unexplored aspects before the fight concludes. As for the duration of the series, it seems we have several more chapters to look forward to this year before the story nears its climax. The final chapter could be published later this Fall, so fans should stay prepared, whatever the outcome may be.

To get right into the latest installments of “Black Clover”, you can access them free of charge through Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library or Shueisha’s MangaPlus service. The storyline is set to resume with a new update in the upcoming issue of Jump GIGA this Spring, although an exact release date has not been confirmed at this point. However, it’s expected that another multi-chapter update will follow when it does return. The ending of the series may become more clear as the story progresses further.
