It’s official, Black Clover is returning with a new anime four years after the first series came to an end! Black Clover is now in the midst of the final arc of Yuki Tabata’s original manga run with new chapters coming out on a quarterly basis with Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine, so fans have been patiently waiting to see whether or not it meant the anime could be returning soon. Black Clover‘s anime had to end ahead of the final two arcs of the series because it had reached the then current events of the manga, but that’s not an issue anymore.

Following reports that a new season of Black Clover was on the way, Shueisha has officially announced that Black Clover‘s anime is indeed returning with a new sequel. While a release window or date has yet to be announced for the new anime episodes as of the time of this initial announcement, there’s a brand new poster showcasing a much different look for Asta than fans have seen in the anime before. You can check out the first look at Black Clover’s anime comeback below.

Black Clover has announced it’s now working on a new season of the anime, but there has yet to be any information about its potential release date or window as of the time of this initial announcement. There’s a lot that can be gleamed from the first poster for the new episodes, however, as it features an Asta transformation that makes its debut during the Spade Kingdom Raid arc. This intense new look for Asta comes following his brief training period after the end of the first series, so fans can be excited that it’s picking up right from that major cliffhanger.
