Black Clover Time Skip Explained

Black Clover manga first introduced a six months time skip in chapter 229. The manga did not show what happened in the six months and directly skipped past them. However, the anime expanded on the story and provided a bridge that built up the action for the time skip. These original episodes are known as the Devil Banishers Arc. The Devil Banishers Arc leads to one of the most important arcs in the story. Episode 158 titled, ‘hope and despair’ starts the Spade Kingdom arc.

Though six months is a short time, there were noticeable changes in the characters and their strength. The characters have been training with the mages of Heart Kingdom to fight against the Spade Kingdom and eventually the dark triad. The most noticeable change is in the protagonist Asta. Despite the training primarily focusing on the magic knights, Asta too had trained himself. He trained himself harder and got stronger. Because of this he can wield the Demon slayer world. Asta even fights Dante and defeats him with the help of Yami.

Will There Be A Second Black Clover Time Skip?

As with many shonen series like One Piece, Naruto, Black Clover might have another time skip in its future. Time skips are a great plot device that helps the development of the story and the characters. They skip over simple matters and leave space for more significant events. They are also a great way to introduce character changes and developments. In Black Clover, we see a major change in Asta after the time skip. Black Clover fans expressed shock over the huge changes in the character.

With the manga still ongoing, there is a lot of room for the manga to adapt a second-time skip. Especially after the introduction of Lucifero and his unbelievable power. Now would be the perfect time to introduce a second-time skip. During which the magic knights can train to become strong enough to defeat the King of the devils. Considering the recent updates and the latest developments from the manga. It can be assumed that the manga might have skipped a couple of years to the future.

The first way is the most obvious one. Like in the previous time skip, the magic knights could use the land to train and get better. During their fight with Lucifero, the magic knights may face defeat or retreat to gain more power. The mysterious land above the spade kingdom offers a perfect location for the knights to move there and train themselves. On the other hand, as Lucifero is still manifesting, it could be that he is the one who moves there. Furthermore, the duration of a second-time skip allows him to complete his manifestation.
