Black Clover is making its comeback with season two, and fans got their first taste of what's coming with a brand new promotional video featuring the opening theme song.

The anime staff revealed a promo at Anime Expo that previews WANIMA's track "Kienai Riyū" (The Reason that Won't Disappear). The rock band's opening theme will set the tone for the series when it debuts on TV Tokyo this October.

Director Ayataka Tanemura is helming the new season after previously directing episodes 153-170 of the original run and the Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King film. Studio Pierrot continues as the animation studio, while Crunchyroll will handle streaming duties. Voice actor Gakuto Kajiwara, who voices protagonist Asta, appeared alongside Tanemura at Anime Expo to celebrate the announcement.

This marks the anime's return after a five-year break. The original series concluded in March 2021 following 170 episodes that began in October 2017. Over its run, Black Clover expanded from its initial 51-episode order into multiple seasons, establishing itself as a staple on platforms including Adult Swim's Toonami block and Crunchyroll, which offered both Japanese subtitles and an English dub through Funimation.

The franchise also expanded to film with Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, which released in Japan in 2023 before arriving on Netflix worldwide. The source material, Yūki Tabata's manga series that debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2015, has since transitioned to the quarterly Jump Giga magazine. Viz Media continues publishing the manga in English, with MANGA Plus offering digital access globally.

With the theme song reveal and October premiere date locked in, Black Clover fans have plenty to anticipate for the long-awaited second season.
