💎 Filler actually worth watching
- 55-56 — Fanzell two-parter (technically anime-canon): introduces recurring characters Fanzell, Mariella and Dominante
- 82 — Charmy Petit Clover special: pure comedy, watch if you enjoy the gag shorts
- 136-141 — anime-canon side-story block: fun character pieces that flesh out the cast
- 142-149 — Devil Believers arc: weakest pacing but builds the kingdom's devil-hysteria mood before the Spade arc
- 150-157 — NOT filler despite being anime-original: required setup for episodes 158-170
❓ FAQ
Which Black Clover episodes can I skip?
Pure filler is only 18 of 170 episodes: 29, 66, 68, 82, 123-125, 131, 134-135 and 142-149. Mixed episodes (2, 8-9, 12, 30, 69, 102) contain canon and should be watched. Do not skip 150-157 — they look like filler but are anime-canon setup for the Spade Kingdom war.
How much filler does Black Clover have?
18 filler episodes out of 170 (~11%), plus 7 mixed episodes and 21 'anime canon' episodes (anime-original but officially sanctioned, e.g. 55-56, 130, 132-133, 136-141, 150-157). Very low filler for a long-running Jump anime.
Where does the anime end compared to the manga?
Episode 170 (March 30, 2021) stops early in the Spade Kingdom Raid arc, around manga chapter 270. The manga continued well past that — its final arc began in August 2022 and is still publishing as of 2026.
Is the Sword of the Wizard King movie canon?
Yes — the 2023 Netflix movie is an original story made with series creator Yuki Tabata as chief supervisor and character designer, and is treated as canon. It's set after the Spade Kingdom arc events, so it's best watched after episode 170.
Will there be more Black Clover anime?
Yes. 'Black Clover Second Season' was officially announced at Anime Expo in July 2025, with a trailer at Jump Festa. Studio Pierrot and the original voice cast return to adapt the Spade Kingdom Raid arc from manga chapter 270. As of June 2026 it hasn't premiered yet — reports point to an October 2026 window, streaming on Crunchyroll.
