After 4 seasons, Black Clover has gained fame and a huge fan base. However, the anime only stopped at episode 170 with the announcement: there will be a movie coming soon, not season 5. Fans were extremely shocked by this information, please read the article to know the reason why.
Black Clover is not cancelled
There is no official information about the end of the Black Clover anime, but the anime ended at episode 170 according to the announcement from the producer. Because the parts of chapters 270 and 272 in the manga were included in the last episode of the anime. The Black Clover anime only showed the Heart Kingdom's General Struggle storyline and only the first part of the Spade Kingdom Raid storyline when it was announced that it would end. Although there is no sequel, the first Black Clover anime movie will be aired soon.
However, the fact that season 5 has not had a chance to be released has also caused a stir in the fandom, many people are extremely dissatisfied with this decision of the producer. Some other fans believe that this series is currently only paused due to its low ratings. In addition, the simultaneous release of the anime and manga has caused the sales of the manga to drop significantly. This has quite a big consequence because the manga is the original work, but fans choose to watch the anime instead of reading the manga.
Some other information about Black Clover
Some opinions say that the anime was stopped on purpose because there was an obvious change in the plot after Liebe's flashback, revealing Lichita - Asta's mother, and Asta and Liebe's demon binding ritual was also revealed. In addition, the suspension of the broadcast could also be due to the substandard animation quality, some scenes were completed quite hastily.
There was no sequel to the anime, so fans were extremely excited when the Black Clover movie was released on June 16, 2023. Shochiku premiered the movie in Japanese theaters and on the same day Netflix streamed the movie worldwide to. The movie is a spin-off Black Clover: The Sword of the Wizard King, which tells the story of Asta being banished after Dominante's decision.
Black Clover has a fairly predictable plot, but the positive energy and perseverance that the main character Asta conveys makes readers love this anime so much. And you, do you love this anime?
