Black Clover’s Epic Finale: Countdown to the Ultimate Battle Begins!

by

The popular manga series Black Clover, penned by Yuki Tabata, has been progressing through its concluding chapter for approximately a year now. If it maintains its current pace, the story is nearing its conclusion more than ever before. Initially, the final arc of Black Clover hinted that Asta and the Clover Kingdom would face an intense battle against Lucius Zogratis, who was revealed to have been concealed within the former Wizard King, Julius Novachrono. Since the commencement of the Ultimate Wizard King arc, marking the final phase of the manga’s narrative, it has followed a distinctly different publishing schedule.

As the final chapter of Black Clover unfolded, its creator Yuki Tabata unexpectedly decided to shift the manga from its regular publication to Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine, which releases on a quarterly basis. This change meant that instead of weekly or monthly updates, we would receive just a handful of chapters every few months, with four updates in total per year. Now, more than a year into this new schedule, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that the series may be wrapping up towards the end of 2025 or at the beginning of 2026.

When Is Black Clover Going to End?

Black Clover publishes new chapters in conjunction with the release of Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine every few months, following a seasonal schedule. Initially, it appeared that each update would consist of only one chapter, but it soon became evident that Tabata had more extensive plans. Instead of releasing just one chapter, he began to publish two chapters per update, and these were significantly larger than the previous weekly installments. Consequently, each update contributed significantly to the ongoing battles in the approaching final arc.

Over the course of the last year, every one of these final battles has concluded. These conclusions have been quite definitive each time, setting the stage for Asta and Yuno’s showdown with Lucius in early 2025. The latest update from Spring 2025, which was released earlier this month, has further advanced this battle and ignited a new climax. Recently, Lucius has tapped into a newfound power, making Yuno’s current confrontation potentially his final one.

After a year of ending battles, Asta and Yuno will face Lucius in 2025. The latest update in Spring 2025 continues their fight, introducing an exciting climax. Lucius has discovered new power, making this possibly Yuno’s last battle against him.

After reaching this stage, when exactly do we get to witness its conclusion? It appears that the battle against Zogratis may finally culminate in the next couple of installments. The upcoming update slated for Summer should bring an end to Yuno and Lucius’s fight, followed by Asta’s return and another confrontation. This suggests that the manga could potentially draw to a close in 2026 if it maintains its current pace, with only a couple of key updates left before wrapping up this epic finale.

How Will Black Clover End?

In essence, we need to determine the ending of Black Clover if we want to know when it concludes. If this manga series typically finishes right after the final battle, then the series might conclude around Winter 2026, following Asta’s victory over Lucius. Assuming no unexpected twists during the fight (like Lucius unveiling another secret transformation), the battle could very well end within the current year. The remaining task would be to understand how the series will portray the aftermath of this fight.

If the remaining battles are concluded within the next two years or so, possibly extending into early 2027, and assuming a significant climax occurs, the Black Clover series might wrap up with the subsequent update. For instance, if Lucius is defeated in Spring 2026, it’s possible that the story could conclude in Summer 2026. However, it remains to be seen whether the series will end immediately following the final fight; given the numerous unresolved plot points, it seems unlikely that author Tabata will opt for such a quick resolution.

Since the series started, there’s been an abundance of character developments and plotlines that have unfolded. It seems fitting now to conclude these stories with a satisfying epilogue, addressing the consequences of the war. This is not just about electing a new Wizard King, but also resolving the long-standing rivalry between Asta and Yuno. The revelation of Yuno’s connection to the Spade Kingdom is one thread that requires further exploration, while Asta’s difficult encounter with his mother is another significant aspect that needs resolution as well.

Without considering the numerous romances that may arise as Black Clover concludes, if the series aims for a fitting conclusion, it’s high time to tie up all loose ends. So far, it appears to be moving in the right direction, hinting that it might be nearing its end soon. Fortunately for fans of Black Clover, “soon” in this context could mean a year or more from now.
