Black Clover set to deliver 3 back-to-back chapters in Jump GIGA Winter 2026 as the final battle nears its peak

Those who have been following the Black Clover manga were waiting to get more information on the next installment. Now we have official news, as it has been confirmed that three brand-new chapters (387-389) will be part of the Jump GIGA Winter 2026. There is further information that there are going to be a total of 59 pages, which also includes a colored page. This series has taken its time to build towards its finale, and soon readers will get to see how this final battle ends.

According to official sources, it is confirmed that Black Clover chapters 387, 388, and 389 will be released on January 4, 2026. Since this news has been out, fans have been over the moon because at no point did the publication mention that these are going to be the final chapters. While the battle might come to an end, there is hope that the series altogether will run for a bit longer before it wraps up.

Currently, no fan is ready to say goodbye to the story, and the absence of any “final installment” wording is a huge relief. For now, at least, Yuki Tabata’s story still has a little more room to breathe. Maybe Black Clover will have an epilogue arc or take time to tie up loose story arcs; fans are just happy that there is a world where Black Clover manga might go on for a while.

What to expect from Black Clover Chapters 387–389? (Speculative)

Black Clover Chapter 386 ended on a massive cliffhanger, with Asta and Yuno joining forces once more to strike down Lucius Zogratis. But Lucius, now wielding the magic attributes of countless mages from the past, is far from finished. These three Black Clover chapters are expected to cover:

• Lucius’s next evolution: Lucius has survived everything thrown at him so far. With healing magic, soul magic, body manipulation, and multiple reincarnated abilities at his disposal, Chapter 387 will likely show him rising again, possibly revealing a new form fueled by the remaining time magic or stored souls.
• Asta and Yuno’s final push: With both rivals fighting side by side again, these chapters may showcase their strongest forms yet. Fans believe Asta may unlock a final stage of Anti-Magic, while Yuno may push Spirit of Zephyr and Spirit of Boreas beyond their limits.
• The truth behind Lucius’s vision: The fandom has been eagerly waiting for Lucius’s backstory, his obsession with turning humanity into Paladins, his fixation on “peace,” and why he believes he alone should shape the future. These chapters may finally begin revealing that.

Black Clover is not over yet, but it is clear that the end is approaching. These upcoming chapters are set to push the story into its most intense phase as they set the stage for either the final battle or the beginning of the epilogue. The announcement for the upcoming installment has changed everything in terms of fan perception, as everything points towards the fact that the manga will continue.

Final thoughts

Finally, alongside the manga’s return, the Black Clover anime adaptation is also making a comeback in 2026, picking up from the Spade Kingdom Raid, which many consider the manga’s peak. The coming year is great for the franchise, as even if it ends, fans can look forward to the anime, and Studio Pierrot is not a production house that will disappoint its fans.
