Black Clover Season 2 confirmed for 2026 as new trailer and key visual revealed in Jump Festa 2026

Fans of Black Clover have been patiently waiting to get an update on the anime for quite some time now. Finally, during the Jump Festa 2026, it was confirmed that Black Clover Season 2 will be released soon. This announcement was backed up by a brand new trailer and a key visual. It is safe to say that the spark has officially been reignited as people are ready to witness peak anime once again.

According to this news, we know that Season 2 of this series will be released in 2026. The fans had been waiting to hear since 2021, when the anime had finished airing its final episode. Since then, there was no update on it, making a comeback, and now, after five years of waiting made this reveal felt less like a simple update and more like a long-overdue homecoming.

The announcement was made during the Black Clover Jump Studio event at Jump Festa on December 21, 2025. We had the core cast members, including Gakuto Kajiwara (Asta), Nobunaga Shimazaki (Yuno), Junichi Suwabe (Yami), and Kana Yuuki (Noelle), appear in person. To ensure the continuity of the series, Studio Pierrot is going to be returning as the animation studio.

What “Black Clover Season 2” actually means

There might be a few fans who might be confused about the Season 2 label. Because Black Clover anime was often divided into Seasons 1-4 overseas, the anime aired consecutively in Japan from 2017 to 2021, with all 170 episodes considered a single season. As such, the upcoming project is officially titled Black Clover Season 2 in Japan, as it is seen as the first true continuation of the TV anime rather than a reboot or spin-off. It is important to understand the difference because the story is going to pick up right from the point it had left.

The trailer shown to us during the Jump Festa 2026, one of the major highlights, is the appearance of Asta and brief shots of Yuno, Yami, and Nacht, as each hinted at some of their most important moments yet. This upcoming arc is seen as one of the fan favorite storylines because of how explosive and happening it is, making it a perfect point for the anime’s return.

Studio Pierrot’s new production approach raises expectations

The trailer for Black Clover Season 2 showcased how seriously Studio Pierrot is taking this franchise. It reflects that the production team has worked hard on ensuring that the quality of animation has improved. Fans are hyped to watch this upcoming installment because with this kind of elevated animation in combination with an explosive story, Black Clover has a chance to stand out like it deserves to be competing with big league anime series. Even if the previous was overall short, the polish in animation was noticeable. This trailer alone has not only sparked excitement but, at the same time, also reassured fans that this anime will leave a memorable impact on them.

Fans celebrate Asta’s emotional return

At Jump Festa 2026, during the panel for Black Clover, we also saw a new key visual. The artwork is neat to the point that fans feel like this could be used as standalone art. Some fans are calling this a peak series, making a return, while others are at a loss for words because of excitement.

In the end, this franchise's panel at Jump Festa 2026 had something to offer for everyone.
