List of episodes

The second season of the Black Clover anime TV series was directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and produced by Pierrot.[2] The season adapts Yūki Tabata’s manga series of the same name from the rest of the 9th volume to the 17th volume (chapters 76–159), with the exception of episodes 55 and 56 (which adapt Tabata and Johnny Onda’s light novel, The Book of the Black Bulls), episode 66 (recap), episode 82 (Petit Clover filler), and episodes 85 and 86 (filler). The first 14 episodes (episodes 52–65) focus on the Black Bulls as they enter the Forest of Witches and help heal Asta’s arms, which were injured from his battle with the Eye of the Midnight Sun.

The season initially ran from October 2, 2018 to September 24, 2019 on TV Tokyo in Japan,[3] and was released in five DVD and Blu-ray compilations, each consisting of eight to eleven episodes, by Avex Pictures between April 26, 2019 and January 31, 2020.[4][1] Both Crunchyroll and Funimation licensed the series for an English release, with Crunchyroll simulcast the second season,[5] and Funimation producing a North American Simuldub.[6] Funimation’s adaptation aired from January 13, 2019 to January 26, 2020 on Adult Swim’s Toonami programming block.[7]

The second season uses eight pieces of theme music: four opening themes and four ending themes. For the first 13 episodes, the opening and ending themes are “Reckless” (ガムシャラ, Gamushara) and “Heaven and Earth” (天上天下, Tenjō Tenge), both performed by Miyuna.[8][9] The second opening and ending themes, used for episodes 65 to 76, are “Scribble Page” (落書きペイジ, Rakugaki Peiji) by Kankaku Piero[10] and “My Song My Days” by Solidemo with Sakura men.[11][12] The third opening theme, used for episodes 77 to 94, are “JUSTadICE” by Seiko Ōmori and the ending theme used for episodes 77 to 89, are “The Path of Blooming Flowers” (花が咲く道, Hana ga Saku Michi) by The Charm Park.[13] The fourth opening theme used for episodes 95 to 102 is “Sky & Blue” by Girlfriend and the ending theme used for episodes 90 to 102 is “Against All Gods” by M-Flo.[14]
