Now, with the official confirmation of the new season, anticipation for the series has grown, raising questions about the plot, villains, and premiere date.

Production and premiere of season 5

During Crunchyroll's panel at Anime Expo 2025 , it was announced that Black Clover Season 5 is already in production at Studio Pierrot . The studio is following the same seasonal release model it used for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War , with a higher quality and pacing than the previous weekly broadcasts.

Despite the teaser and special art, the premiere date has not yet been confirmed. Therefore, fans will have to wait a little longer, but they can already celebrate the return of the series. Yūki Tabata, the manga's creator, promised that the new season will have "turbocharged" animation, meeting audience expectations.

What to expect from the story of the new Black Clover

The new phase of the anime will continue the Spade Kingdom Invasion Arc , which covers chapters 261 to 331 of the manga. The starting point will be the alliance between Asta and Liebe , cemented in episode 170, and the intense training led by Nacht .

Meanwhile, Yuno Langris are preparing to face the threat of the Dark Triad . The group plans to open the gates of the underworld, allowing demons to invade and plunge the world into chaos. Among them, we'll see creatures linked to Noelle , which will likely bring shocking revelations.

This way, fans can expect decisive battles, new powers and confrontations that have been anticipated for years.

Characters confirmed for the season

The roster of returning characters is extensive. In addition to Asta, Yuno, Noelle, Nacht, and Liebe , the Magic Squad Captains will also be featured. However, the main antagonists will be the Dark Triad —Dante, Vanica, and Zenon—accompanied by the powerful demons Lucifero, Megicula, and Beelzebub .
