What to expect in the movie
Yuki Tabata, the manga’s author, has supervised the Black Clover movie, which means fans need not worry about a drop in quality. Furthermore, it is important to note that this movie will not follow the manga’s storyline and features an original anime-only plot.
The series will also introduce an array of new antagonists, the main one being Conrad Leto. These antagonists were previous Wizard Kings of the Clover kingdom.
The previous Wizard Kings of the kingdom will take on the current Magic Knights, and Asta will play a pivotal role in this film. Netflix also revealed the first four minutes of the Black Clover movie, providing some context regarding the past events concerning Conrad Leto.
Fans can expect stellar animation and voice acting, which was teased in the aforementioned clip. Top-tier animation paired with high-octane fights will surely make this movie memorable.
Not to mention the fact that it’s a movie and not a series, and the implication is that the budget will be far higher compared to the average episode the fanbase has seen. We will also get to see Julius Novachrono in action, along with some of his trusted Magic Knights, to vanquish the enemies threatening the kingdom's safety.
