Black Clover has been one of the most exciting shonen stories of the past decade, and now, as the manga barrels toward its grand finale, fans are being rewarded with an explosive surprise. Instead of waiting months at a time for a single chapter, Yūki Tabata and Weekly Shonen Jump have announced something unprecedented: Black Clover will be getting a triple chapter release at the end of October 2025. This news has electrified the fandom, especially since the series has been on an irregular release schedule for over a year due to Tabata’s health and the manga’s move from Weekly Shonen Jump to Jump GIGA.

Mark your calendars: October 30th, 2025, is the confirmed release date for the upcoming triple chapter of Black Clover. That means just one day before Halloween, fans will be treated to three chapters at once, potentially over 60 pages of content. This massive drop is likely intended to push the story into its climactic stage as the final battle against Lucius enters its decisive moments.

For reference, the last release we got was Chapter 383 in August 2025, meaning Tabata has taken about three months to prepare this new batch. While fans initially expected another single-chapter update closer to December, the triple release in October suggests that the manga is accelerating toward its finale faster than expected. Spoilers are anticipated to drop around October 26th–27th, as is usually the case with Jump leaks.

When we last left Black Clover, Chapter 383 ended on one of the most hyped cliffhangers in recent memory. Yuno was locked in a brutal duel with Lucius, displaying how far his star and anti-magic abilities had grown. Despite pushing Lucius back, Yuno’s anti-magic reserves were starting to fade, leaving the villain with an opportunity to turn the tide.

Meanwhile, Mimosa’s desperate healing efforts finally paid off when Finral and Charmy provided her with enough mana-restoring food to fully heal Asta. In classic fashion, Asta rose to his feet, destroyed an angel with ease, and declared he was ready to face Lucius head-on.

The triple chapter will almost certainly pick up with Asta rejoining Yuno against Lucius, setting the stage for what could be the most legendary battle of the series.

So, what does this triple release mean narratively? Fans have already begun speculating on social media about what Tabata might pack into these chapters:

  • Asta and Yuno vs. Lucius begins in earnest - After countless buildup chapters, both rivals are now standing together again, prepared to strike at the man who believes himself destined to “perfect” the world. This is the fight we’ve all been waiting for.
  • The fate of Julius Novachrono - Several predictions suggest that Asta may attempt to use the Demon-Destroyer Sword to undo Lucius’s soul magic and possibly restore Julius. If this is true, the triple release might reveal more about Julius’s fate and his connection to Lucius.
  • Asta’s origins - Another popular theory circulating online is that these chapters will finally reveal who Asta’s father is, as well as more about his devil-related lineage. With the story nearing its conclusion, Tabata is running out of time to answer this lingering mystery.
  • Allies uniting for the final stand - Black Clover Chapter 382 already teased a massive “Endgame-style” convergence, with characters from across kingdoms and races joining forces against Lucius’s Paladins. Expect even more cameos and returns in these chapters.

In other words, this isn’t just filler or setup; this triple release is likely Tabata’s way of delivering a full-scale war climax. The news that Black Clover will be getting a triple chapter release on October 30th is a massive win for fans who’ve been waiting patiently during the manga’s irregular schedule.

With Asta fully healed, Yuno barely holding out, and Lucius still confident in his god-like abilities, this battle is shaping up to be one of the greatest finales in modern shonen history. Get ready, because when those three chapters drop, Black Clover will never be the same again.
