List of episodes

The first season of the Black Clover anime TV series was directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and produced by Pierrot.[1] The season primarily adapts the first nine volumes of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover manga in 51 episodes, with the exception of episode 13 (which has a separate storyline). It follows the first adventures of Asta and the Black Bulls in the fictional Clover Kingdom. After Asta receives a grimoire and joins the Black Bulls to become the new Wizard King, he explores a dungeon and meets Mars, a magic knight from the Diamond Kingdom. Shortly afterwards, Asta is captured by a group of zombies who are working for the Eye of the Midnight Sun squad (also known as the Eyes). After Asta is rescued, the Black Bulls travel to the Underwater Temple and meet a series of challenges to find a magic stone (for which the Eyes are also searching).

The season initially ran from October 3, 2017 to September 25, 2018 on TV Tokyo in Japan;[2][3] Avex Pictures released it on DVD and Blu-ray in five compilations (each containing nine to 11 episodes) between February 23, 2018 and January 25, 2019.[4][5] Crunchyroll and Funimation licensed the series for an English-language release, with Crunchyroll simulcasting the series worldwide[3] and Funimation producing a North American Simuldub.[6][7] Funimation's adaptation aired from December 2, 2017 through January 6, 2019 on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block,[8] and they released the first DVD and Blu-ray compilations on August 7, 2018.[9]

The first season has eight pieces of theme music: four opening and four closing themes. The first opening and closing themes (used for the first 13 episodes) are "Distant Future" (ハルカミライ, Haruka Mirai) by Kankaku Piero and "Blue Flame" (蒼い炎, Aoi Honō) by Itowokashi.[10][11] In episodes 14 to 27, the opening and closing themes are "PAiNT it BLACK" by BiSH and "Amazing Dreams" by SWANKY DANK.[12][13] In episodes 28 to 39, the opening and closing themes are "Black Rover" by Vickeblanka and "Black to the dreamlight" by Empire.[14][15] For the remainder of the season, the opening and closing themes are "Guess Who Is Back" by Koda Kumi and "Four" by Faky.[16][17] Megumi Han sang "Four" as her character, Kahono, in episode 50.[18][19]
