Black Clover is finally coming back to television, and this time Indian fans will not have to settle for subtitles alone. The new season of the hit fantasy anime is getting Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs, with Crunchyroll releasing Episode 1 on October 24. After years of waiting since the original series wrapped up, Asta's return is shaping up to be one of the biggest anime events of the season for viewers across India.

For a series that built its fanbase on loud, never-give-up energy, the timing could not be better. Black Clover has quietly remained one of the most rewatched shōnen anime in India, and a proper regional-language release means a whole new audience can now follow the story in the language they are most comfortable with.

Season 2 or Season 5? The numbering, explained

If you have seen this new season called Season 2 in one place and Season 5 in another, both are describing the same thing. In Japan, the original Black Clover anime was treated as one long series, so the new run is its second season. Many streaming libraries, however, split that original 170-episode run into four separate seasons to make it easier to browse, which is why the same new season shows up as Season 5 there.

Whichever label your app uses, the important part is simple: this is brand-new Black Clover anime, not a recap or a re-release of the episodes you have already seen.

Where the story left off

The first anime ran from 2017 to 2021 and covered 170 episodes, produced by Studio Pierrot and adapting Yūki Tabata's manga. It followed Asta, an orphan born without any magic in a world where magic is everything, and his rival and brother-in-arms Yuno, a prodigy chosen by a four-leaf grimoire. Their shared dream of becoming the Wizard King pushed them through the Black Bulls' chaotic missions, the Royal Knights selection, the Elf Reincarnation arc and the first steps into the Spade Kingdom conflict.

That is exactly where the anime stopped, just as the story was building toward its most intense stretch. The manga kept going, which is why fans have spent years asking when the anime would return to continue Asta and Yuno's journey. The 2023 film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King gave fans a standalone adventure in between, but the main story has been waiting on this new season.

Why the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu dubs matter

Regional-language dubs have changed how anime is watched in India. Families who never picked up subtitled anime are now watching together, younger fans can enjoy the fights without reading along, and whole friend groups can discuss the latest episode in their own language. Black Clover, with its over-the-top battles, found-family Black Bulls squad and a hero who wins through sheer stubbornness, is a natural fit for that audience.

Bringing Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions together from the start of the new season also means viewers in the north and south can follow the story at the same pace, instead of one language catching up months later.

Release date and where to watch

Episode 1 arrives on Crunchyroll on October 24. Keep an eye on this page: we will update it with the exact release time and the weekly schedule for the following episodes as soon as they are confirmed.

What to watch before October 24

If it has been a while since you last saw the Black Bulls in action, now is the perfect time for a rewatch. The final arcs of the first series, especially the Elf Reincarnation saga and the lead-up to the Spade Kingdom invasion, set up almost everything the new season is expected to build on. Catching up on those episodes will make Asta's return hit a lot harder.

One thing is certain: after a long wait, Asta is about to shout "I'm going to be the Wizard King!" again, and this time a lot more fans across India will be hearing it in their own language.
