About to turn 10, Black Clover has consolidated himself as one of today's most popular shonans. Yūki Tabata 's manga is in its final arch, but the interesting thing is that the author does not yet have a defined ending for the story.
This approach resembles the path followed by Akira Toriyama in Dragon Ball , who remained far beyond planned due to the huge success.
Like Toriyama , Tabata has some ideas on how to complete the bunny plot, but not a closed script. This may seem surprising, as the work reaches a decade of publication, but it is a strategy that worked for Dragon Ball. The classic manga gained iconic elements precisely by its author's creative freedom, as Gohan's temporary highlight as protagonist.
Since his 2015 debut at Weekly Shonen Jump , Black Clover has maintained a faithful fan base. The anime, although popular, paused after reaching the manga, avoiding disagreements such as the views of Shaman King and Fullmetal Alchemist . Now, with the manga free of anime pressures, Tabata can explore new possibilities without being up to a hurry ending.
Recently, it has been announced that Black Clover's anime will follow a format of "Cour", similar to Bleach's: Thousand-Year Blood War , allowing more faithful adaptations. Meanwhile, the manga continues to surprise, showing that the lack of a defined plan can be a creative asset.
