What Awaits Asta as Black Clover Season 2 Episode 5 Release Date and Time Nears
Release date and streaming times
Black Clover season 2, episode 5, also numbered episode 175 overall, is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026. Its stated release time is 8:00 AM PT and 11:00 AM ET.
The episode is due to air on TV Tokyo in Japan at 11:00 PM JST, then stream internationally exclusively on Crunchyroll. The English dub is two episodes behind the Japanese broadcast and began alongside episode 3 on October 17.
Three fronts in the raid
The Clover Kingdom’s forces are fighting across three fronts inside the Spade Kingdom castle. Morris is using Lolopechka’s stolen Heart Kingdom knowledge to accelerate the Tree of Qliphoth ritual, opening the first underworld gate earlier than expected and enabling Dante, Vanica, and Zenon to reach 100% devil power.
Dante’s Gravity Magic, enhanced by Lucifero, and his Body Magic make him difficult to stop. Captain Jack’s attacks have not defeated him, while Yuno and Langris face Zenon and Charlotte keeps Vanica occupied.
Staff report raises expectations
Early staff reports say Hiroyuki Yamashita is storyboarding the episode. Yamashita directed Naruto Shippuden and worked as an animator on Kakashi vs. Obito and Madara vs. the Shinobi Alliance.
The report has not been confirmed in the text. The episode also follows the end of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, which may allow Studio Pierrot to give Black Clover more attention.
