The release of Black Clover season 5 hasn't yet been confirmed by Studio Pierrot, and the production studio has released no official statement about the renewal of the series. However, rumors have been floating all over social media about the potential release window for the upcoming season.

The Twitter leaker @oecuf0 has revealed that the Black Clover anime has been green-lit for season 5 and will be returning very soon. The leaker, however, didn't mention any specific year or date for the series return.

However, fans are eagerly anticipating the show's potential return in 2024, fueled by hints from a leaker suggesting an early release.


Black Clover season 5 is rumored to be released as early as 2024

Studio Pierrot has produced four seasons of the Black Clover anime, with season 4 being released in March 2021. The anime went on a hiatus following season 4, as the show had caught up with the plot of the manga. The anime has been on a break ever since, with the Black Clover manga being released weekly.

The show has been on hiatus for three years. During this time, Studio Pierrot has published plenty of manga chapters, providing them with enough content to adapt to Black Clover season 5. Despite having enough material, Studio Pierrot has not made an official statement about the renewal of the Black Clover anime.

However, rumors have been circulating on Twitter about the anime making a return soon. Multiple leakers have indicated that the Black Clover anime will be returning for a fifth season soon. No specific details about the upcoming season, such as the release date and episode count, have been revealed so far.

Fans believe that Black Clover season 5 will be released as early as the latter half of 2024. It takes almost 9-12 months to animate a 12-episode anime, which brings the release date to summer 2024. The leaks indicate that the show will return soon, and "soon" can only be classified as having a 2024 release.

Studio Pierrot is currently busy animating Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, which might be why they haven't announced the renewal of Black Clover season 5 yet. The one thing fans can be certain of right now is that Asta and his friends' return is right around the horizon.

Black Clover season 5 plot (speculative)

Black Clover season 5 will likely adapt the Spade Kingdom Raid arc, as the story of this arc was already set in motion in the last three episodes of season 4. It remains to be seen whether Studio Pierrot will animate the show on a seasonal or weekly basis.

The Spade Kingdom Raid arc will feature a fierce fight between the wizards of Clover and Spade Kingdoms against hordes of Demons. Asta will also finally embrace the full potential of his power. This arc will also be an important stepping stone for what will likely be the final arc of the series.

Some fans believe that by making Black Clover into a season anime and dividing it into cours, Studio Pierrot will be able to focus on the quality of the animation. It will also help improve the show's pacing and eliminate the need to create filler episodes. Pierrot has already used this formula with Bleach, which has turned out to be a roaring success, so they might do it for Black Clover as well.
