Black Clover is back with a triple-chapter burst: Jump Giga 2025 Autumn drops three new installments on October 30, the manga’s first since August 11, 2025.

Black Clover has been quiet since August 11, 2025. That ends with a bang: three new chapters are dropping at once, and they are all landing in Jump Giga this fall.

What got announced (and when you can read it)

The official Weekly Shonen Jump account on X previewed the cover for Jump Giga 2025 Autumn and confirmed that Black Clover will deliver three chapters in that issue on October 30, 2025. That trio will be chapters 384, 385, and 386, and they continue Asta vs. Lucius right where things left off.

Inside baseball note: Jump Giga is the seasonal magazine, not the weekly one, so a triple drop like this is a pretty loud statement. Also, if you saw anyone saying there was only a "two hours" gap since the last release, yeah, that was a typo. It has been about two months.

Where we left off (light spoilers)

Black Clover is deep in its final arc, and the momentum has tilted toward the heroes. Asta is fully patched up thanks to Mimosa and back in fighting shape. He and Liebe have already felt out some of Lucius Zogratis' tricks, which should help when the real showdown hits. Meanwhile, the cavalry has arrived: allies from the Diamond Kingdom's Eight Shining Generals to members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun have joined the Black Bulls to chew through Lucius' forces.

On the battlefield spread: Noelle, the Bulls, and a bunch of returning faces from early arcs are busy dealing with Morris, Acier, and the rest of the angels and Paladins. That frees Asta and Yuno to zero in on Lucius, who, to be clear, has been fighting nonstop. Translation: the big bad might be a little gassed. One huge question still hanging: Julius Novachronos. Until Lucius is handled, the Wizard King's fate is unsolved, and Asta may need to pull off a soul-separation trick to get Julius back in his own body.

What to expect from chapters 384–386

This batch is set up to push the series into its endgame proper. Expect the focus to swing between the different squads uniting against Lucius' army and the main event with Asta and Yuno pressing the advantage. With Lucius stretched thin, Asta and Liebe can plan for the inevitable curveballs. Would not be shocked if the story starts laying track for answers about Asta's father as we barrel toward the finale.
