Black Clover is finally returning after a lengthy break, with two new chapters scheduled for release in Jump GIGA Spring 2025. Fans of the series have endured months of silence since Chapter 378 dropped on January 9, but the return promises to be worth the wait. These upcoming chapters are expected to deliver more surprises as the story enters its most critical phase yet.
The long pause has only heightened anticipation, especially with the series hurtling toward its finale. With no new anime updates or anniversary events, the announcement of these chapters has given fans something to celebrate. The return of Black Clover signals that its last stretch may be the most thrilling yet.
The Fight With Lucius Reaches New Heights
Chapter 378 left fans on edge, with Asta and Yuno making impressive strides in their battle against Lucius. Despite facing near-divine powers, the duo’s contrasting abilities and seamless teamwork caught the villain off guard. Asta’s anti-magic landed a critical blow, slashing Lucius’ hands, while Yuno followed with a brand-new technique that knocked the enemy out of the sky.
This powerful display raised the stakes dramatically. For the first time, Lucius seemed rattled, opening the door for a possible turn in the battle. With their combined strength pushing the villain back, the question now is whether they’ve done enough—or if Lucius still has another transformation in store.
A Smaller Chapter Count But Big Expectations
Unlike previous returns, this batch will only feature two chapters instead of three. The page count has not been disclosed, leading to concern among fans who were hoping for more content after a three-month wait. Last time, readers were treated to three chapters spanning 61 pages. Even though this upcoming installment includes fewer chapters, many are hopeful the quality and length will balance things out.
Adding to the anticipation, Jump GIGA has confirmed that Black Clover will grace the issue’s lead cover. Given Tabata’s past work with stunning full-color spreads, expectations for this new artwork are understandably high. The cover alone could hint at what’s to come inside—potentially new transformations, flashbacks, or even the final faceoff’s resolution.
