Apparently, Conrad was loved by the citizens of the Clover Kingdom. But the question is, why does he appear now?

After looking at the leaked title, Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, it seems like Conrad may have to do something with Asta. Chances are that he, too, like Lucius Zogratis, disapproves of Asta and believes him to be a flaw of the world.

However, the movie is not canon, which means that it will not affect the storyline of the manga, and can be enjoyed by all fans, be it new or old.
