Black Clover Episode 169 Release Date and Time produces a turmoil of emotions to the fans and viewers of the anime series as Black Clover announced that the series will be ending with its 170th episode which means that Episode 169 is the last episode before the series finale marking the end of Black Clover itself.
Still, when a door closes, a window opens as Black Clover indicated that following the end of Episode 170 comes an "important announcement" which excites fans what the announcement would entail as there is little to no information as to what it would be about leading to various theories and speculations which can only be proven or debunked by the arrival of the said announcement.
Black Clover is produced by Pierrot which has received praises over the years for the interesting animation design of the show. The series also gained popularity in that it scored high ratings and good reviews which made it included in the most-watched shows in Crunchyroll and it secured the first and top spot in 2020.
Black Clover is from the pages of the Japanese shōnen manga of the same name written and illustrated by Yūki Tabata which is published in the Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine which, to date, has been in the collection of 27 tankōbon volumes, and the English version is released by Viz Media.
Aside from the anime and manga series, Black Clover also has two original video animations which are produced by Xebec Zwei during the 2016 Jump Fiesta along with the 11th volume of the manga, while the second was presented during the 2018 Jump Fiesta.
Black Clover follows the story of Asta, a young boy who has no magical powers despite being born in a world where everyone has. When it is time for the selection process, surprisingly, Asta was picked out by the Black Clover, a group whose abilities can cut through or cancel the powers of others. Asta joins the ranks of the order of the combat wizards and he aims to beat his rival and be a Wizard King one day.

What happens in Black Clover Episode 168?

The series is not over yet as Asta and the Black Bulls just had their loss with Yami defeated and abducted by Zenon in the Dark Triad.
Nacht is a well-known mysterious wizard who bears himself as a vessel to a devil just like Asta. Nacht appears in front of Asta and tells him that he will be teaching him how he could properly use his devil powers.
Meanwhile, in the Clover Kingdom, there is an urgent meeting between the Magic Knights captains. Since William is not around, Yuno attends the meeting on his behalf. Yami and William were both taken to the Spade Kingdom so that said kingdom could perform the advent of the Qlipoth ritual.
