One row per arc. Each square is an episode, in order. A crossed red square is filler; a solid one is manga. The stamp is our call: watch, optional (anime-only, but we'd keep it) or skip.

Black Clover filler that's actually good

Filler has a bad name, but some of it holds up. If you only keep a little, keep these.

• Charmy's chibi dream

  Ep 82

  A short gag episode of chibi sketches. Good for a laugh between big fights.

• Training arc highlights

  Ep 130-135

  The first few training episodes are mostly the Black Bulls hanging out. Skip the rest of the arc after that.

Black Clover episode list: all 175

• Manga canonStraight from the manga. Watch it.

• FillerMade up for the anime. Skip it and the story still makes sense.

Where the labels come from

We use two source checks where available, plus cited manual reviews. The first checks the show's fan wiki, which lists the manga chapters each episode adapts. The second checks Wikipedia, mostly the Japanese episode lists, which mark episodes written for the anime. Matching anime-original signals give a provisional label of filler. If an episode has real manga scenes as well as invented ones, it's mixed. Episodes taken from official novels or one-shots are anime canon. When a check is missing or the sources disagree and a cited review does not settle it, we mark it needs review and leave it in your watch order. The verdicts on each arc (watch, optional, skip) are just our opinion.

• English Wikipedia season 1 (CC BY-SA)
• Japanese Wikipedia series article (CC BY-SA)

We combine these episode facts, renumber them into one continuous list and add our own labels. The episode data and tables on this page are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0; see credits and changes.

Our automatic checks only had one source for episodes 171-174. Where a reviewed label below doesn't settle it, the episode stays in the watch order.
