On January 10, 2025, Studio Pierrot announced that it will be announcing its anime line-up for 2025 and as fans speculate, Black Clover season 5 might be one of the upcoming shows this year. While this might not be a big update for the fans as nothing has been confirmed, fans are hopeful that their series might get a possible sequel after so many years of waiting.
Black Clover TV anime series started in 2017 and ended in 2021 on the Spade Kingdom Raid arc. Sadly, no further update regarding the anime was shared after its climax and since then, the fans have been desperate to get any update from the series' animation or production studio.
With the recent update from the studio being a silver lining in the sky, the fans are optimistic they might have their wishes fulfilled.

Black Clover season 5 might be featured in Studio Pierrot's line-up for 2025
As announced on Studio Pierrot's website, the animation studio is set to announce the new line-up of anime series for 2025, presumably during Anime Japan 2025. Anime Japan, formerly known as Tokyo International Anime Fair, for the year 2025 is set to take place from March 22 to March 25.
The anime line-up might see the studio revealing new TV anime series, seasonal anime series, anime films, and the most expected update the fans have been anticipating for years, Black Clover season 5. The Shonen series ended in 2021 on the Spade Kingdom Arc in the manga's chapter 270.
Moreover, there is enough manga material compiled to get a season out. Even if a season isn't possible, an anime film might also be possible. So, the Black Clover fans should definitely keep their tabs on the upcoming announcement from the studio.
Reaction from the fans
The fans' hopes were high, but there was still a gloomy feeling due to the past when the animation studio didn't hear fans' requests. A fan shared his sorrow over whether they were lucky enough to get Black Clover season 5 during Anime Japan 2025. However, the other fans were still optimistic about receiving the series' sequel.
Moreover, fans were desperate to the point that one claimed even receiving an anime film at this point would satisfy the urging of the fans. However, one fan claimed that the Anime Japan 2025 announcement might only see a new visual release instead of a new season, showcasing the fans' sorrow over the wait Studio Pierrot has put the fans on.
"Are we really that lucky?" a fan said.
"Black clover/boruto please studio Pierrot," another fan said.
"At this point, I will even take an anime film!" another one claimed.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it's only new art from black clover and not anime coming back in future lol," another one said.
Analysis and final thoughts
There are a few things to consider during Anime Japan 2025. As Pierrot Films didn't make an announcement, fans can expect the Black Clover sequel to be a multi-seasonal one (as Pierrot Films is for short anime series). However, as both are considered the same studio, there is no telling what the studio might be planning for Black Clover. So, it is best to wait and see how things go.
