By the time of reporting, the new companions are exclusive to SuperGrok users, which costs a hefty $30 monthly subscription.

Additionally, social media users revealed that there's a mode of Ani wearing lingerie, and 'NSFW' clips of the anime AI companion are reportedly swarming X.

Black Clover confirmed for new sequel after 4-year hiatus
Published July 3rd, 2025 - 06:21 GMT ALBAWABA - Black Clover fans are in for a treat as reports confirmed that the TV anime is returning with a new sequel after 4 long years of hiatus, excluding the 2023 Netflix film, Sword of the Wizard King. First confirmed by Shueisha in the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #32, news about Black Clover's return flooded social media as fans took to platforms such as X (formerly known as Twitter) and voiced their anticipation. Rumors about its comeback were first ignited by the popular Japanese magazine, Jump Giga, which revealed the alleged return with an ad. At the time, both Shueshia (the publisher of Black Clover's manga) and Studio Pierrot (the company behind the anime adaptation) remained silent about the matter in question. Black Clover TV Anime has officially confirmed a Sequel/Season 2 to be in production in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #32. More details will be revealed in the future. — Shonen Jump News (@WSJ_manga) July 3, 2025 The popular anime rose to the top charts among shonen fans despite caveats in production quality, pacing, and voice acting (Asta's voice at the beginning arc). In our opinion, what elevates Black Clover from similar shows in the genre is its excellent fight scenes, well-crafted setting, and beloved characters (especially the Black Bulls members, including their captain Yami). The upcoming sequel is expected to adapt the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc from the manga, in reference to Pierrot's adaptation up to this point. According to many fans, the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc features intense fights and is considered one of the best arcs to come out for the ongoing series. We just hope Studio Pierrot gives Black Clover the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War treatment in terms of production quality, rather than reverting to the weekly episode format. A seasonal approach would give animators the time they need to deliver something truly great, instead of pressure due to time constraints, as visible in the anime's prequel. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
