The story will pick up directly with the conflict against the Spade Kingdom and the Dark Triad. Asta and the Magic Knights will aim to rescue Yami Sukehiro and William Vangeance, who were captured by the enemy.
When is the Black Clover anime returning?
Episode 1 of Black Clover Season 2 will air on TV Tokyo and its affiliates at 11 p.m. in Japan. In Brazil, that corresponds to 11 a.m. on October 3, Brasília time.
What can we expect from the Black Clover premiere?
The return is also expected to explore the relationship between Asta and Liebe, revealed in episode 170. Yuno, meanwhile, discovered that he is a member of the Spade Kingdom's royal family, making the confrontation even more personal.
Therefore, Nacht will also play an important role, especially in Yami's absence. The character is expected to take on more responsibilities within the Black Bulls.
As such, Studio Pierrot returns to handle production, with Ayataka Tanemura once again directing. The first episode has been titled “Opening of Hostilities”.
The season premieres in Japan on October 3. Crunchyroll will stream the anime internationally, including in Brazil, but the exact simulcast time has not yet been announced. Finally, the total episode count also remains officially unconfirmed.
