Black Clover fans have been eagerly awaiting news about Season 5 since the anime went on hiatus in March 2021. With rumors swirling and excitement building, many are wondering: Is Black Clover Season 5 releasing in July 2025? Let’s dive into the latest updates.
The Buzz Around Black Clover Season 5
After a four-year break, the Black Clover anime is officially returning! Crunchyroll confirmed at Anime Expo 2025 on July 5, 2025, that a new season, often referred to as “Season 2” but widely considered Season 5 by fans, is in production. This announcement came with a teaser trailer and a striking visual of Asta in his Devil Union form, reigniting the hype for this beloved shonen series.
However, despite the excitement, no official release date has been confirmed for July 2025. While some early leaks and fan speculation hinted at a possible 2025 release, Crunchyroll later clarified that an initial mention of a 2026 release window was removed, leaving the timeline uncertain. Based on production patterns and industry insights, a late 2025 or early 2026 release seems more likely.
What Will Black Clover Season 5 Be About?
Season 5 is expected to pick up from the cliffhanger of Season 4, diving into the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc (roughly chapters 272–331 of the manga). This arc promises intense battles, with Asta and Liebe’s bond being tested against powerful foes like the Dark Triad and devils Lilith and Nahamah. Fans can also look forward to major developments for Yuno, whose royal heritage and wind magic will take center stage.
The returning cast is likely to include familiar voices like Gakuto Kajiwara (Asta), Nobunaga Shimazaki (Yuno), and Junichi Suwabe (Yami), with new actors potentially joining to voice the Zogratis siblings of the Dark Triad.
