Black Clover’s final arc accelerates toward its grand finale in Jump GIGA’s Winter 2026 Issue

After being serialized for over 10 years, Black Clover manga is said to be reaching its conclusion. According to recent news, we know that the manga is set to receive a lead color page in the Jump GIGA 2026 Winter Edition. This could be a major hint that the story is reaching towards its finale.

The very first chapter of Black Clover was released in 2015, where our main character, Asta, was introduced. He was full of ambition and a goal to become the Wizard King, even if he was born with no magic.

Throughout these years, readers have seen this character grow stronger and come closer to achieving his dreams alongside Yuno, Noelle, and other people of the Clover Kingdom. With Chapter 384-386 being released in the Jump GIGA Autumn 2025 issue, the manga is going to cover the chaotic battle that is building the foundation for the story to reach its conclusion.

From Asta making a comeback to the battlefield and working as a team with Yuno, the Magic Knights are more than determined to have a final showdown against the story's biggest villain, Lucius Zogratis. He has been an ultimate threat not only to these characters but to humanity itself.

The meaning behind Black Clover's “Super Climax”

In the latest Jump GIGA release, there was a note that said that the next issue of Black Clover will be marked as Super Climax. Usually, Shueisha does not use this term in a series unless it is about to get over.

This could mean that the next chapters that are going to be released will not only give us a conclusion between the fight against Lucious but also tie up years of character arcs and unresolved storylines.

Fans can expect the Winter 2026 edition to include another multi-chapter release, with possibilities of the series wrapping up the battle and finishing it with an epilogue. The lead color page now makes sense as it could be a way to celebrate Tabata’s decade-long run and a farewell signal to the fans who have supported the manga since its Weekly Shonen Jump days.

Fans react: Hope, excitement, and a bittersweet farewell

Since this news has come to light, fans of Black Clover have been feeling a mix of excitement and melancholy. Most of the fans do not want the series to end and are in disbelief. Some of the common responses to Black Clover's Super Climax are:

"If u ask me, no I don't think it will end next issue cause I would hope Shueisha gives a final cover to say goodbye to Black Clover but we'll see. So yeah basically we're at the very very end, it was a good ride guys." Said one fan.

"No way he’s ending this manga in the next three issues, even if chapters are triple-length. He’s wrapped up most plot points, but the story still feels only about 75% done. Something new’s bound to happen, or the “epilogue” alone will drag on for dozens of chapters." Added another fan.

Still, optimism remains high. With Asta and Yuno standing together in Black Clover, fans are confident that the creator will deliver an ending worthy of the decade-long adventure.
