As a seasoned gamer and manga enthusiast with over two decades of reading under my belt, I can say that Black Clover’s upcoming finale has me excited, but also a little apprehensive due to the missteps I witnessed in Jujutsu Kaisen’s conclusion. The rush felt like a sudden punch to the gut, leaving many questions unanswered and fans dissatisfied.


As a dedicated fan of Black Clover, I can’t wait for the upcoming installments of its climactic arc! After being on this rollercoaster for nearly a year now, with Yuki Tabata transitioning from Weekly Shonen Jump to Jump GIGA magazine’s quarterly releases, it feels like we’re about to enter the home stretch. The recent issues have been meaty and packed with intrigue, which gives me hope that we’re in for a thrilling conclusion. However, to truly stick the landing and avoid comparisons to Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s crucial that Black Clover maintains its unique charm, pacing, and character development throughout the final chapters. Here’s to an epic ending!

The anime “Black Clover” will resume on November 15th in Japan, offering three new chapters that amount to a total of 61 pages. Hints suggest the upcoming chapters will depict the “final battle” for the series. However, it remains unclear whether this update will initiate the final battle or solely focus on it. What is certain is that the manga’s conclusion is approaching soon. To ensure fan satisfaction and avoid a similar outcome to “Jujutsu Kaisen,” careful planning is crucial in wrapping up the story effectively.

What Happened With Jujutsu Kaisen?

In 2021, Jujutsu Kaisen wasn’t the only Shonen Jump series to conclude, but its ending garnered a lot of attention due to feeling rather hurried. The abrupt announcement that the series would end five chapters before it actually did took many by surprise because it seemed to appear out of nowhere. To some readers, the final arc didn’t feel like it was truly the last one as there were still unresolved threats hanging over the fight against Sukuna.

The biggest issue of that finale was the fact that it introduced a ton of new characters in the later arcs only to then not only many of them to have a proper resolution. It just all felt like it was cut short despite it being series creator Gege Akutami’s intention. So thanks to all of the questions left unanswered, fans had felt like the ending didn’t hit its mark. There just wasn’t enough time to be properly ready for that ending, and ultimately it’s why the series ended so divisively. At the end of the day, there just wasn’t enough time spent getting ready for the grand finale. Thankfully, Black Clover has already avoided this.

Black Clover Won’t Have the Same Problem

It’s challenging to predict if Black Clover will conclude with a fully satisfying resolution, given its numerous plot threads. However, it seems to be taking steps to avoid the main mistake made by Jujutsu Kaisen. The final arc of Black Clover has been unfolding for quite some time now, even before it switched to quarterly releases. For almost a year, the manga has been carefully preparing the ground for the upcoming battles.

In the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, there was a lack of clarity in its conclusion. The final arc didn’t fully convey an ending because the battle against Sukuna initially appeared to be just the beginning, hinting at something larger down the line, rather than the singular fight it ultimately became. On the other hand, Black Clover has skillfully avoided this issue by gradually building up to its climax. The last few arcs of the series have been carefully preparing the ground for the grand finale, as Asta and his comrades have been battling the Zogratis siblings. Once they were vanquished, a final sibling was unveiled, suggesting that even more challenges lie ahead.

The initial invasion by members of Spade Kingdom into Clover Kingdom sparked a series of conflicts. Asta was right in the thick of things, having just entered his final training phase before these battles commenced. As the climactic arc unfolded, even more formidable adversaries emerged. There was a progressive escalation in challenges, allowing fans to anticipate the conclusion appropriately. With each chapter this year becoming particularly extensive, Black Clover has been steadily building up towards its epic conclusion.

In simpler terms, when Black Clover concludes, there should be minimal unanswered questions or loose ends. It’s working hard to avoid a controversial ending like Jujutsu Kaisen had, and all it needs now is to ensure its final episode is truly satisfying. It’s almost at the finish line, but it must end in a way that leaves fans content. It’s a big challenge, but Black Clover seems up for the task.
