Black Clover may have had a rough start with fans, but now that the series is rolling into its first major arc -- and the English dub of the series is getting good reviews from fans -- the series is now coming into its own.
A major signal of this new confidence is a brand new opening and ending theme for the series' upcoming arc.
As the series enters the "Dungeon Exploration" arc, the series will get a new opening theme, "PAiNT it BLACK" by the "punk band without instruments," BiSH. The ending theme, "Amazing Dreams," will be performed by SWANKY DANK. Both the new ending and opening themes will premiering alongside the series' 14th episode on January 9.
Teased by the last episode's preview, the "Dungeon Exploration" is the second official arc of the Black Clover manga and centers on a mystery dungeon that appears on the borders of the Clover and Diamond Kingdoms. Dungeons are highly sought after by the Magic Knights since when they do pop up they offer countless treasures and magical items, but are also incredibly dangerous. So it becomes the duty of the Magic Knights to journey into the mysterious dungeon in order to claim the magical artifacts before they land into the wrong hands.
The villain of this arc, Mars, is actually the result of an experiment that embedded many magical stones into his body. His look in the anime series was actually teased a bit back by an update to the series' arcade game.
If you are unfamiliar with Black Clover, the series debuted in Shonen Jump back in 2015 from creator Yuki Tabata. The since popular series follows two young boys named Asta and Yuno who are growing up in a world where magic is everything. Asta, unfortunately, seems to have been born without magical powers while Yuno is a young prodigy whose magical powers rival that of the strongest magic users in the Clover Kingdom, the Magic Knights. The story then follows the two young boys as they strive to become the strongest wizard in the Clover Kingdom, The Wizard King.
Studio Pierrot's Black Clover adaptation premiered in Japan on October 3 and is currently slated for a hefty 51 episodes. You can currently find the Japanese language version with English subtitles on Crunchyroll, and the English language dub on FunimationNow and Saturday evenings on Adult Swim's Toonami block.
