A Quick Recap: Where Black Clover Has Been
- Black Clover originally ran as a continuous anime from 2017 to 2021, totaling 170 episodes.- What many fans know as “Season 2” is actually the second half of that original run (episodes 52–102). That “seasoning” was more of a retrospective division than a proper reboot or a new-season break.
- Because the series ran nearly non-stop, with little of the usual seasonal break common in many anime, the transition from “Season 1 - Season 2” may have felt seamless, making it easy to forget traditional “season 2” conventions.
So: if you’ve “forgotten” Season 2 - you’re not alone. It’s partly because the show didn’t follow the usual seasonal breaks that many other anime do.
What “Season 2” Means Now - The New Continuation
- As of July 2025, it was announced at Anime Expo 2025 that Black Clover is getting a new anime sequel, officially being billed as “Season 2.- The production is handled by Studio Pierrot, the same as the original run.
- A key visual featuring the main character (in his upgraded “Devil-Union” form) was released, raising expectations for an upgraded animation style.
But - here’s where things get a bit fuzzy, and why many fans are now confused or feeling like they “forgot” about it.
Why Many Fans Might Feel “I Forgot About Season 2.”
- When the new season was first announced, the trailer’s description said the show would return in 2026.- However, within a day or two, the 2026 date was quietly removed from all official descriptions, leaving only a vague “coming to Crunchyroll.
- Neither the production company nor the streaming platform (Crunchyroll) has provided an updated, confirmed release date yet.
- This sudden shift - from a specific 2026 window to indefinite “coming soon” - naturally leads to uncertainty and makes it easier to misplace or forget the sequel’s existence until a firm date re-emerges.
In short: confusion + ambiguity = easy to lose track.
What We Actually Know Right Now
| Info | Status |
|---|---|
| New season confirmed | Yes - announced at Anime Expo 2025 under Studio Pierrot. |
| Original release window (2026) | Removed — trailer description edited. |
| Current release window | Unknown - only “coming to Crunchyroll” was stated. |
| Why the delay/removal of the date? | Speculation: internal scheduling, production delays, or marketing strategy. |
| What season will cover? | Expected to continue from where the 2021 finale left off - presumably adapting later arcs from the manga. |
What This Means for Fans - And For You (as a Content Creator)
- If you’re a fan, this ambiguity can be frustrating - but also hopeful. The fact that a season is confirmed with new visuals suggests the team is taking time to do things right.- If you’re writing blogs or content, this “in limbo” status is perfect for creating hype, speculation pieces, or countdown posts. You can cover both the confirmed facts and the uncertainties - fans love that kind of engagement.
- Until an official release date is revealed, keep an eye on announcements from Studio Pierrot, Crunchyroll, and major anime events (like Jump Festa 2026) - that’s where the next solid update will likely drop.
Conclusion: Why It’s Easy to Forget - But Worth Remembering
Because the original Black Clover anime didn’t follow typical seasonal breaks and ran continuously, what counts as “Season 2” could easily slip from memory. Now add in a long hiatus, a new “Season 2” announcement with vague release timing, and a removed date, and it’s no wonder many fans feel like they forgot all about it.
But the silver lining: a fresh season is in the works, with possible upgraded animation, and - when it finally drops - it could be an important resurgence for the series.
