Black Clover Finally Returns August 2026 With Official New Ending

Both Black Clover Final Volume 38 and the Black Clover Official Guidebook are scheduled to be released on Aug. 4, 2026, in Japan. An official English release date by Viz Media has yet to be announced.

Crunchyroll’s official description for Black Clover reads: “Asta and Yuno are two orphans who want the same thing: to become the Wizard King. Locked in a friendly rivalry, they work hard towards their goal. While Yuno excels at magic, Asta has a problem uncommon in this world: he has no powers! But on the day they receive their grimoires, they surprise everyone. To reach their goal, they’ll each find their own path to greatness—with or without magic.”

The first Black Clover anime series ran continuously for 170 episodes from October 2017 to March 2021. Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, the first theatrical animated movie in the series, was released domestically in Japan on June 16, 2023, with an international streaming release on Netflix the same day.

Black Clover “Season 2” was first announced in July 2025 with a teaser trailer and a key visual, and Crunchyroll confirmed it would stream the new series internationally. The new season of Black Clover will join fellow Shonen Jump hits on Crunchyroll, such as the final season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War and the upcoming anime remake of Dragon Ball Super.

The Black Clover manga by Yuki Tabata was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from Feb. 16, 2015, to Aug. 21, 2023, before pivoting to new quarterly releases under Jump Giga due to struggles with maintaining a weekly release schedule. Black Clover Chapter 392 was released on May 1, 2026, officially ending the manga’s 11-year run with Asta vs. Yuno Grinberryall deciding who will become the new Wizard King.

The original Black Clover anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll, Netflix and Hulu/Disney+. All chapters of the manga can be read digitally on Viz Media and the Manga Plus apps.
