The worldwide premiere of the new film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King is scheduled for March 31, 2023, and will be available exclusively on Netflix.
At Jump Festa 2023, a new teaser for the upcoming Black Clover film was released, and it confirmed numerous fan speculations that had been circulating since the film’s title was announced.
Due to the absence of prior information, anticipation was high for the Black Clover panel at Jump Festa 2023. The good news is that it has lived up to, if not exceeded, the expectations of many admirers. Conrad Leto, the former Wizard King, was revealed to be the antagonist in a 30-second promo aired throughout the clip, along with at least two other ex-Wizard Kings.
Despite eager anticipation, the issue remains: Is the Black Clover movie canon?
What to Expect from Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King?
Being a known villain, Conrad had plausible motivations for his bad behavior, such as his distaste for Wizard King Julius’s showmanship. On the other hand, multiple prior Wizard Kings may indicate something more significant is occurring.
Fans had assumed there might be more than one prior Wizard King in the movie based on the poster and teasers, where other figures wore similar garb. It was established that they were on Conrad’s side, as the other guy in the room at the time, Jester, had just been revealed to be a shadowy mage who had joined forces with the villain.
Many viewers have been waiting for the film to move on from Wizard Kings, and it looks like they will get their wish, albeit in a different way than they might have imagined. It will be interesting to learn about the characteristics of previous Wizard Kings, even though it remains unclear where this film stands in the overall Black Clover canon.
Asta may acquire valuable skills from his time spent with the villains that will aid him in becoming the Wizard King.
Is the Black Clover movie canon?
Is the Black Clover movie canon? Canon is not a phrase used in Japan; instead, terminology like “anime original” and “manga adaptation” is used. The episodes of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, another anime produced by Studio Pierrot, are also considered canon and not filler.
The Black Clover film is also planned to be an original anime production. Despite popular belief, Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King does not officially join the canon.
After hearing what Mangaka Yuki Tabata had to say about the film, it became clear that an anime adaptation was planned. As he explains the film’s plot, he raises the question, “Why didn’t you do this in the original (manga)?” from fans.
As a result, the story could be canon to the manga, despite being left out of the manga’s official timeline. This means that the film’s plot will be incorporated into the anime’s canon but will have no bearing on the tale as it unfolds in the manga.
The film’s plot will be tailored to fit into the established continuity without altering the course of either the manga or the film adaptation.
