LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Asta and his troop of Black Bulls will be back in action as they take on a trio of foes seemingly too powerful to defeat. 'Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King' is a 2023 Netflix original Japanese animated movie by Ayataka Tanemura. Based on Yuki Tabata's 'Black Clover' manga, the movie was initially scheduled to premiere on Netflix in March 2023, but a recent update from the streaming giant revealed that the release date has been moved to later in the year.

A recent message from the Anime's official Twitter account featured a snapshot of the film's editing process, as well as a time code showing the file's complete length of exactly two hours. It is unclear whether this was the true runtime of 'Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King', or if the image depicts an incomplete version, but with recent anime movie hits like 'One Piece Film: Red' and 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond' clocking in at around two hours, it is possible 'Black Clover' will follow suit. With an approximately two-hour runtime, 'Demon Slayer: Mugen Train' was another great success, suggesting that this length may be a new industry norm for the Anime genre.

What is the buzz around ‘Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King’?

'Black Clover' and 'Naruto' were in the news for the wrong reasons when fans of Masashi Kishimoto's ninja classic accused 'Black Clover' of plagiarism. These claims surfaced after photos from 'Black Clover's most recent manga chapter were released, with one panel displaying an ocular power that had an uncanny similarity to Sasuke's sharingan. Some have even noted how similar it was to 'Fairy Tail'. 'Black Clover' has been chastised in the past for ripping off other series, with some critics labelling the programme "junk food anime" for how little it asks of its audience, leveraging common shonen tropes to connect with its audience via a sense of familiarity.
