Black Clover Season 2 Reveals New Main Visual Ahead of October 2026 Premiere

The visual

The official Black Clover anime account revealed a new main visual for the series' second season on July 2, and Crunchyroll shared it in English soon after. The artwork puts Asta front and center in his black Devil Union armor, sword drawn, framed by the tagline "I'll defeat you and live." Above him, Noelle appears in her water dragon dress while his rival Yuno channels wind magic, with the caption confirming an October 2026 broadcast start.

What we know

Black Clover Season 2 was first announced at Jump Festa 2026 in December 2025, and the official channels have since confirmed an October 2026 premiere as part of the fall lineup. It marks the anime's return more than five years after the original series wrapped in 2021. Crunchyroll will stream the new season in the United States and other international regions outside Asia.

The production stays at Studio Pierrot, with Ayataka Tanemura stepping up as director. Tanemura worked on the original anime as an assistant director and helmed episodes 153 to 170, and he also directed the 2023 film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King. Keiichiro Ochi is overseeing series scripts, Itsuko Takeda is handling character designs alongside Kumiko Tokunaga, and Minako Seki is composing the music. Studio Pierrot has said the new season carries a visual refinement over the original run, with smoother motion and sharper designs.

According to the reported details, the season picks up exactly where the first anime left off, following Asta and the Magic Knights as they prepare for war and mount a rescue of captured captains Yami Sukehiro and William Vangeance from the Dark Triad. The main staff reveal earlier this year arrived with an illustration by Tanemura in the June 15 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump that first showed off Asta's Devil Union look.
