Weekly Shonen Jump 2025 Issue 31 revealed that the latest information surrounding the Black Clover anime will be unveiled in its upcoming issue, scheduled for release in Japan on July 7, 2025. The teaser statement read “Media Grimoire… We will bring you the latest information on the TV anime ‘Black Clover’!! Fans are sure to be excited! (メディア魔導書…TVアニメ『 ブラッククローバー』関連情報をお届けするぞ！！ファンは興奮間違いないなしの内容！！)“
Naturally, anticipation is high for a possible return of the Black Clover anime, which aired its 170th and final episode on March 30, 2021. The franchise later received an anime movie, Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, in June 2023. Studio Pierrot was responsible for the animation production of both. Crunchyroll was first to stream the anime series, while Netflix has the film.
It’s expected that in the event of a Black Clover anime return, Pierrot would also return, as it co-produced the series and movie alongside TV Tokyo (others were also involved in the production of the movie). Nevertheless, unlike Black Clover, Pierrot confirmed early on that the second part of Boruto, which it produces, has already been greenlit.

Black Clover’s Studio Pierrot To Focus on Long-Running and Fast-Produced, High-Quality Anime Series
While Pierrot has a storied history of long-running anime like Black Clover, Pierrot producer Yoshihiro Tominaga revealed last year that recent developments in the anime industry have forced the studio to reconsider its approach, stating that they’re not good at producing extremely high-quality works in a short period of time. He cited the quality of Jujutsu Kaisen as an example (Men’s Non-No).
Tominaga added that Pierrot needed to strike a balance between long-running series and quickly produced high-quality titles, which prompted the launch of the new PIERROT FILMS division in 2024. PIERROT FILMS has since produced BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Cour 3. Pierrot has also announced business alliances with Asahi Production and Red Dog Culture House to strengthen its production capabilities.
Black Clover adapts Yuki Tabata’s manga of the same name, currently serialized in Jump GIGA. Tatsuya Yoshihara was credited as director for the first 152 episodes, and then chief director for the remainder. Yoshihara will direct the upcoming Chainsaw Man movie and received praise for his work on Wistoria: Wand and Sword. Ayataka Tanemura (Sword of the Wizard King) directed episodes 153 to 170.
