![]() ![]() Shortly after its last episode premiered, the anime announced that the series would be releasing its first movie. Thankfully, that isn’t the case with Black Clover. ![]() When the series premiered its last episode on March 30th of this year, fans understandably became worried that the series would fall into the same abyss as Tite Kubo’s Bleach, which ended its anime run in 2012 before the manga even finished the story in 2016 (and has yet to return). After watching it on a regular weekly basis for the last four years, you could say that fans have partially grown up with Asta and the rest of the Black Clover characters. From the true source of Asta’s Anti-Magic abilities to the extermination of the elves, the anime has provided a deep and complex world that has kept fans thoroughly invested in the series. Throughout its four seasons, Black Clover has brought a lot of development to its characters as ties past and present events together in a neat little bow that’s rich with impressive storytelling. After passing the entrance exam, Yuno gets chosen by the Golden Dawn, a prestigious Magic Knight Squad under Captain Vangeance, a Mage that many in the kingdom believe will become the next Wizard King. Now officially deemed upcoming mages, Asta and Yuno both apply to the Magic Knights. Meanwhile, despite his lack of magic, Asta is chosen by the rare and mysterious five-leaf grimoire, one containing blackened swords that exudes equally rare anti-magic. During this coming-of-age occasion, Yuno receives a legendary four-leaf grimoire, a rare kind of grimoire that is only bestowed upon the most powerful of Mages. The two participate in the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony, a special event where all of the children living in the land receive their grimoire (or spell book) for the first time. The objective helps to develop their relationship into a friendly rivalry. Hoping to make something of themselves and bring pride to the orphanage, the boys aspire to join the Magic Knights⏤a somewhat militant army of Mages who protect and police the Clover kingdom⏤in the hopes that one of them becomes the most powerful mage in the land, The Wizard King. Even then, Black Clover powered through and resumed airing its episodes in July of 2020 to finish its fourth season on March 30th, 2021. The only time it actually took a break was due to the Coronavirus outbreak in March 2020, which understandably slowed down production for a lot of people in the entertainment industry. Whereas most anime take breaks between seasons, Black Clover never seemed to take its foot off the gas as it slowly cruised through four seasons without stopping for refreshments. Although it’s currently on hiatus, Black Clover has consistently provided fans with new episodes every week for the past four years, which is a long time for an anime. With its recent introduction of the Spade Kingdom Arc, the anime has drawn even more fans to the world of elves, devils, Magic Knights, and Grimoires. In recent years, the manga itself has become a bestselling book series with over 15 million copies in print. Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover has successfully dominated the worldwide anime stage since its premiere in 2017.
