Black Clover went from being seen as a mediocre replacement for more popular shonen anime to becoming one of the most popular series of the modern era. It took several seasons for fans to get used to Asta, but now they gladly accept his hard head and willingness to take on any challenge combined with the series nailing all the emotionally charged moments.

But regardless of its popularity now, did that stop the series from getting canceled? With no new episodes on the horizon, this is a valid question that any newcomer would reasonably be curious about. In addition, there may be a few other things that Black Clover fans, new or old, might be wondering about.

10 Is The Black Clover Anime Canceled? No, It Simply Came To An End For The Time Being

The Black Clover anime wasn't canceled, but it did come to an end for now. After airing for over three years and 170 episodes, the series came to a stop with the episode "The Faraway Future."  The reasoning is about the same as most anime that are long-runners rather than being seasonal -- eventually the anime caught up with the manga. With the series so close to the source material, the show was forced to come to a stop or risk having to create too much filler that might legitimately make fans lose interest.

9 When Does The Black Clover Movie Air? Currently, There's No Date Available

While the anime might be over with for now, that doesn't mean the series is in trouble in terms of popularity.  At the same time as the anime's ending, it was announced the series was also getting its own feature film.  This was announced in the 17th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump for 2021.  Currently, there's no specific date for the film, and no other information on the movie is available yet.  Like the recent Dragon Ball Z movie announcement, it will likely be several months before more is shown beyond the announcement itself.

8 Where Did The Black Clover Anime Stop? It Stopped Around Chapter 270 Of The Manga

Fans looking to get into the manga after finishing the anime might want to know where the anime stops rather than having to put in a bunch of guesswork.  The anime stops after "Dark Prison Hunting Ground," which is Chapter 270.

The chapter focuses on the battle of Asta against the Devil inside of him, Liebe.  With Asta having defeated Liebe, he agrees to become friends with him rather than binding him to his will.

7 How Did Asta Get His Powers? He Merged With A Devil Named Liebe

Asta's unique power of anti-magic is considered to be the most dangerous weapon of all in the series.  After all, without magic, everyone else is simply normal. This power comes from Asta having the devil Liebe inside of him. With Liebe possessing no magic at all, he developed the ability to use anti-magic.  Likewise, Asta had no magic at all from birth because his mother had the ability to drain magic. Liebe was the only being who could combine with Asta to give him the power he has now.

6 What's The Truth About Yuno?  He's The Prince Of The Spade Kingdom

Like Asta, Yuno was left at an orphanage when he was a child. No one knew why, but it was obvious there was something different about Yuno because his magical powers were incredible even from a young age. Though Asta had no magic at all, Yuno had more than enough magic to spare and even bonded with the Wind Familiar. As it turns out, Yuno is the Prince of the Spade Kingdom who had to be left in Hage after the attack on the kingdom brought down his entire family.

However, all of them managed to make it to the Elves' hidden village of Elysia, where they were taught the Ultimate Magic that allows them to become closer to mana and access higher-level spells. This allowed Noelle to reach another level in her powers, which will help her in her next fight against Vanica.

4 How Did Mereoleona Get Her New Powers? She Learned How To Merge With Fire Magic

Mereoleona seemed powerful enough as it was when she was first introduced.  She stood at the top of all the Magic Knight Captains, with strength that allowed her to battle several high-level mages powered up by the elves who had possessed them. More recently though, she became even more powerful by giving herself Fire Magic, which changes her entire form to make her look like fire itself. This new power allows her to even fight with enemies who normally wouldn't be affected by magical power.

3 What Connection Does Nacht Have To The Spade Kingdom? His Family Was Connected To The Devils Like The Spade Kingdom

Vice Captain Nacht Original Magic Black Clover manga

The Vice Captain of the Black Bulls has been hiding a great secret from the rest of the members since the day he first appeared. He had powers that are largely derived from his connection with devils, but no one knew where they came from. As it turns out, his family had their roots in summoning devils and using their powers. Nacht's talent for doing so caused them to summon a demon who was vastly more powerful than any of them could control, and his brother had to sacrifice his life to save him. With that, Nacht was left with nothing more than the desire to get revenge and shut down the Spade Kingdom's plans before they could succeed.

2 What Is An Arcane Stage Magician? A Mage Who Can Use Spells To Stop Devils

In the ninth arc of Black Clover, a magic classification was finally introduced to the series. The members of the Heart Kingdom explained that the level of magic power was classified according to ten different levels: Stage Nine was the absolute lowest stage, while Stage Zero was the highest. However, there were more than just these ten stages -- there was also the idea of Arcane Stage mages who are capable of using spells that can defeat demons. Meanwhile, there were also Saint Stage mages who could purify and wipe out devils with their power.

1 Is This The Last Arc Of The Manga? It's Not Confirmed, But There Aren't Many Other Plot Lines Left To Wrap Up

It can be easy to wonder whether or not this is the last arc of the manga.  The best answer is that it seems likely.  The story has tied up most of its loose ends since the beginning of the series hinted at four kingdoms, which have all been explored thoroughly. The mystery of where Asta and Yuno came from has been solved, and the two of them are finally going to battle against the threat that separated them from their families. With very few mysteries remaining, this latest arc is looking like the last one in the manga. Hopefully, the anime can return after it finishes.
