If you are not familiar with Black Clover and its anime hiatus, you should know the series has been on a break for years. Studio Pierrot closed the Black Clover TV anime in order for the manga to get further ahead. This is why creator Yuki Tabata has been hard at work on the manga as Black Clover began its final act a few months back. The big war has put all of the Clover Kingdom in danger as Lucius and his devils have come topside. Yuno is doing his best to keep the country safe, but of course, he will need Asta’s help to bring down Lucius for good.

Clearly, Black Clover is keeping busy these days with its final act, and now the anime’s first film is gearing up to launch. The feature will tell an original story created by Tabata, and it will involve Wizard Kings from the past. For more details on the movie, you can read the official synopsis of Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King below:

“Asta, a boy born with no magic in a world where magic is everything, and his rival Yuno, a genius mage chosen by the legendary 4-leaf Grimoire, have together fought a number of powerful enemies to prove their power beyond adversity and aim for the top mage “Wizard King”. Standing in front of Asta and Yuno, who dream of becoming the Wizard King, are the Wizard Kings from the past.

Conrad Leto, Julius Novachrono’s predecessor Wizard King, once respected by the people of Clover Kingdom but suddenly rebelled against the kingdom and was sealed away, has been resurrected. Now he aims to use the “Imperial Sword” to resurrect the 3 most feared Wizard Kings in the history, Edward Avalaché, Princia Funnybunny and Jester Garandaros, and take over the Clover Kingdom.”
