On top of that, a world premiere of the very first episode is set for <strong>Anime Expo 2026 on 4 July<\/strong> in Los Angeles \u2014 just over a week away \u2014 with the voice of Asta himself, <strong>Gakuto Kajiwara<\/strong>, and returning director <strong>Ayataka Tanemura<\/strong> in attendance.<\/p>\n<h2>Five Years in the Making: Black Clover Second Season<\/h2>\n<p>The original <em>Black Clover<\/em> anime ran from 2017 to 2021 across 170 episodes, produced by Studio Pierrot and covering the manga through the intense Spade Kingdom arc.

For Singapore viewers, that means Crunchyroll is not the confirmed option here.<\/p>\n<p>The original Black Clover seasons are available on Netflix Singapore, which suggests a regional streaming deal exists \u2014 but there has been no official confirmation yet from Netflix or any other Asia-region service about carrying the Second Season. We&#8217;ll update this when streaming partners for Southeast Asia are announced. In the meantime, Asta&#8217;s return is worth bookmarking: October 2026 is about three months away, and with an episode 1 premiere at AX on 4 July, more details should surface shortly.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/black-clover-second-season-asta-devil-union.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Asta in Devil Union mode in Black Clover Second Season\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Studio Pierrot \/ Shueisha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We&#8217;ll have full coverage of any streaming announcements for Singapore as they come.
