About Black Clover
Asta was born without magic in a world that runs on it, so he fights toward the Wizard King title with anti-magic swords instead. Studio Pierrot's anime ran 170 episodes from 2017 to 2021, stopping before the manga's final arc rather than outpacing it.
The 2023 film Sword of the Wizard King is a standalone story streaming on Netflix. The manga finished in Jump Giga in May 2026 at 38 volumes, and a second season was announced at Anime Expo in July 2025 for October 3, 2026.
Good to know
There is no separate chronological order worth listing: release order and story order are the same list.
The OVA is an optional preview short and the film is non-canon, so watch the film any time after episode 150 or after finishing the 170. A few recap and filler episodes sit inside the TV run, so a filler list trims it a little.
Season 2 premieres October 3, 2026, which falls after this post's September 17 verification date. Its slot below is dated but unaired; check broadcast listings closer to air.
