Black Clover Episodes «2026 Release»

If you finish the anime and feel frustrated by the cliffhanger, know that the manga’s final arc is one of the best in modern shonen – and you’re only 100 chapters away from the real ending.

A: There are two 2016 OVAs (different voice cast) – they are rough prototypes. Ignore them and start with episode 1 of the main anime. Final Verdict Black Clover is a shonen that grows with its audience. The first 30 episodes are a hurdle; episodes 50–119 are top-tier battle anime. Use the filler guide above to skip the nonsense, watch the movie at the right time, and prepare to switch to manga after episode 170.

When Black Clover first aired in 2017, it faced criticism for Asta’s screaming and some slow pacing. However, those who stuck with it discovered one of modern shonen’s most rewarding epics. With 170 episodes (plus a movie), the series tells a complete story arc—from an underdog boy without magic to the verge of the Wizard King’s throne.
