The second season of the anime "Black Clover" starts in October 2026 on Japanese television. On July 5, an extensive main trailer was released, presenting for the first time the opening "Kienai Riyuu – The Reason That Does Not Fade" by the rock band WANIMA. The trailer was first shown to the global audience at Anime Expo 2026 and captures the dark, threatening atmosphere of the upcoming "Spade Kingdom Conquest Arc." The clip features intense magic battles and the despair of the heroes as the threat of the Dark Triad grows.
WANIMA, a three-man rock trio from Kumamoto that debuted at the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2017 and celebrated its tenth band anniversary in 2024, contributed the specially written song. Singer and bassist KENTA commented: "There was something that didn't disappear, no matter how hard I tried to erase it. Listen to 'Kienai Riyuu.' Thank you!"
Mangaka Yūki Tabata, whose series "Black Clover" concluded in May 2026 after eleven years, also released a greeting message along with a new illustration. He expressed his excitement about seeing the characters in animated form and thanked the fans and the animation studio.
The second season is directed by Ayataka Tanemura, who was also responsible for the first series and the film "Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King" (2023). The screenplay is by Keiichiro Ochi, with character design by Itsuko Takeda. Studio Pierrot is once again handling the animation. The extensive cast includes Kaito Gen (Asta), Nobunaga Shimazaki (Yuno), and many others.
Crunchyroll will offer the new episodes internationally via simulcast. At the same time, an official TikTok channel for the anime has been launched.
The manga source material has achieved a worldwide circulation of over 24.5 million copies and was already adapted into a 170-episode series between 2017 and 2021.
