Black Clover Anime Sequel Is Reportedly In the Works Following a 5-Year Wait

Since the end of its first run way back in 2021, Black Clover‘s anime has kept fans waiting for news of its continuation. The adventures of Asta and the Black Bulls enamored viewers with their intense power, fascinating world, and complex magic system. Naturally, fans of this beloved anime have been patiently waiting for any kind of sign about its return, and a new report suggests the wait will be over soon.

After 5 years of waiting, anime fans may have reason to rejoice soon as a new season of the Black Clover anime is reportedly in the works. This update was given after Jump Giga, a popular Japanese magazine, surfaced with alleged ads teasing the comeback. At this time, Shueisha (the publisher of Jump Giga) has not confirmed the report, and Studio Pierrot has kept mum on the matter.

Black Clover’s Anime Is Allegedly Eyeing a New Season

The Hit Anime Went Off the Air Back In 2021

After endearing fans worldwide during 2021, the Black Clover anime ended its annual run with an abrupt ending. Audiences watched as Asta brought his journey to a close before the manga’s final war even began. The cliffhanger led fans to believe Black Clover would continue one day. After all, the show did not cover every arc available in the manga, but those hopes soon languished as years went by without any updates.

Now, after a 5-year wait, Asta and his friends are causing commotion among anime fans. It would put things lightly to say the return of Black Clover has been long demanded by netizens, and the fandom is not quiet about those demands. Ever since Yuki Tabata’s hit series went off the air, fans have been asking for Asta to return, but Pierrot has kept busy with projects like Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War instead.

Black Clover Is Reportedly Eyeing a “Big” Anime Update, Reigniting Revival Rumors

Black Clover will be getting a “big” anime update, and there’s a solid chance the anime’s continuation is underway.

If this report is true, well – there is good reason to be excited. Black Clover’s comeback would set up Asta for a timeskip that manga readers know well. When the anime left off, the mage had yet to master his demonic powers, but that is not the case in later arcs. The return of Black Clover would put Asta and Liebe center stage with Yuno, and their fights would be a true joy to watch. But alas, no official confirmation has gone live to put fans (and their hopes) at ease.

What Can Fans Expect From This New Season?

The Spade Kingdom Raid Arc Is Asta’s Next Quest

Season one of the Black Clover anime adapted the events of the original manga series up to the Elf Reincarnation Arc. The show has demonstrated no interest in diverging from the story created by Yuki Tabata, the creator of the series, meaning that Asta’s next adventure will be the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc.

For many fans, this is considered one of the best entries in the entire franchise, featuring some of the most exciting battles and developing the heroes like never before. The promotional material included in the magazine points to this indeed being the case, as Black Asta is seen preparing for a gruesome battle against the devils of this upcoming arc.

Further details about the show’s production and its intended release date are expected to be released in the coming weeks. Nonetheless, the confirmation of Black Clover season 2 will likely be one of the biggest and most exciting news of the year, as audiences had been expecting this development for more than 4 years.
