Enjoy the journey – and never give up!

If you finish the anime and feel frustrated by the cliffhanger, know that the manga’s final arc is one of the best in modern shonen – and you’re only 100 chapters away from the real ending.

A: There are two 2016 OVAs (different voice cast) – they are rough prototypes. Ignore them and start with episode 1 of the main anime. Final Verdict Black Clover is a shonen that grows with its audience. The first 30 episodes are a hurdle; episodes 50–119 are top-tier battle anime. Use the filler guide above to skip the nonsense, watch the movie at the right time, and prepare to switch to manga after episode 170.
