Black Clover Episode 170 Release Date And Time

Okay, let's be real. We've all been there. Staring blankly at the calendar, wondering when our favorite anime is hitting our screens.
And if that anime involves a certain loud-mouthed, magic-less hero named Asta... well, you're probably wondering about Black Clover Episode 170. Aren't you?
The Great Black Clover Hiatus of '21
So, here's the thing. There ISN'T a Black Clover episode 170. At least, not in the way we hoped.
Must Read
The anime officially ended its run back in March of 2021. Yep, a whole other lifetime ago in internet years!
Before you riot, hear me out! I know, I know. It stings. We were all gearing up for more screaming, more magical battles, and more questionable character decisions. I will address this soon.
Why Did Black Clover End?
The official reason? The anime was catching up to the manga. They didn't want to rely too heavily on filler. Which, honestly, is respectable.

Filler episodes can be... well, let's just say they aren't always the peak of storytelling. Remember that beach episode? Exactly.
Think of it as a strategic pause. They are recharging their magical abilities, or maybe just waiting for Yuki Tabata (the manga author) to give them more epic content.
The Unpopular Opinion Nobody Wants to Hear (But I'm Saying Anyway)
Okay, brace yourselves. I think ending where they did was... good? Yeah, I said it!

The animation quality had been… spotty at times. And the pacing? Don't even get me started. We all remember those flashbacks within flashbacks.
Taking a break allowed them to regroup, reassess, and hopefully come back stronger than ever. Maybe we'll finally get consistent animation quality for Yami's Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash!
So, What Now? (The Movie!)
Fear not, fellow magic knights! All hope is NOT lost.
A Black Clover movie IS on the horizon. It was released in Japan on June 16, 2023. I am excited!.

We don't have a concrete release date for international audiences yet. But keep your eyes peeled. The internet is a magical place when it comes to release dates.
What to Do While You Wait
Simple! Reread the manga. It's fantastic. Seriously, do it. I promise it will improve your day.
Or, rewatch your favorite episodes. Relive the glory of the Witch Queen arc. Reminisce about when Noelle finally started accepting her powers.

And maybe, just maybe, scream "I'M GOING TO BECOME THE WIZARD KING!" at the top of your lungs. Your neighbors might think you're weird, but hey, you're a Black Clover fan. Weirdness is practically a requirement.
In Conclusion (Because Everything Must End Eventually)
There’s no episode 170, not yet.
But a movie is on the way. A movie that hopefully will reignite our love for the series. A movie that will hopefully give Asta a moment to shine (even more).
So, let's stay positive, keep our grimoires ready, and prepare for the return of the Black Bulls. The magic is just getting started!
