According to the leak, a special promotional video will be released around Monday, July 7, 2025, the official date of the magazine's publication. While the video was not yet live at the time of the leak, it is expected to provide fans with behind-the-scenes updates on the production and possibly a teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel.

When could the anime Black Clover return?

Given that production has now begun, it is likely that the anime will return within the next 18 to 24 months. If this timeline holds, Black Clover may return sometime in late 2026, which would be approximately five years after the original anime concluded in March 2021. This is a typical production window for high-quality sequel series, especially when studios are investing in upgraded visuals and tighter storytelling.

With over 170 anime episodes, a feature film (Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King), and multiple OVAs, the series continues to expand its universe.Also Read | Blue Lock Chapter 310 release date and time revealed: Check where to read this Japanese manga online
