How to watch Black Clover
Black Clover runs 170 episodes with a low filler ratio. The story follows Asta, a magicless boy in a world of mages, who gains anti-magic powers and joins the Black Bulls squad. The first 20-30 episodes are a slow build as the world and characters are established, but from the Seabed Temple arc onward, the series consistently delivers high-quality action and story progression. Most filler is limited to brief anime-original segments within canon arcs rather than full filler episodes, so watching straight through is the recommended approach. The anime covers the manga up through the Spade Kingdom Raid arc. After episode 170, continue with the manga for the rest of the story.
