Tabata's plans to debunk the notorious Jump GIGA myth revealed in Black Clover chapter 369

There was a long-standing belief among fans that any manga transferred to the Jump GIGA magazine was on the verge of ending. However, new evidence indicates that Yuki Tabata's Black Clover is poised to debunk that myth.

Numerous manga have made the switch from weekly serialization to quarterly serialization in Jump GIGA magazine. With the limited page length per chapter, it seemed like the manga would conclude in just a few chapters. As a result, fans speculated that Black Clover would meet the same fate and come to an end. However, it turns out they may have been mistaken all along.

As soon as it was announced that Black Clover would be moving to Jump GIGA, manga creator Yuki Tabata expressed his determination to provide fans with a satisfying conclusion to the story. Despite his health issues, he was committed to continuing, which is why he opted for a quarterly schedule.

Despite fans' initial negative reaction to the magazine transfer, it is clear from recent Black Clover chapter 369 spoilers that the series is not coming to an end anytime soon. In this chapter, Lucius Zogratis reveals the presence of 11 versions of himself on the battlefield, along with countless angels and three Paladins, indicating that the story is not moving towards a quick resolution with the protagonists defeating multiple strong enemies in the same chapter.

However, as is evident from Black Clover chapter 369 spoilers, Luck and Magna defeated only one Lucius in the latest chapter.

Therefore, based on the high number of enemies identified by Lucius, it can be inferred that the manga series is slated to have a lengthy run. This is due to Jump GIGA magazine publishing only four chapters per year, with the exception of 2023, when there were five releases.

Furthermore, there is a strong likelihood that the manga creator, Yuki Tabata, intends to give redemption arcs to the supporting characters of the series. As a result, fans can anticipate numerous battles involving the Black Bulls and standout characters from other Magic Knight squads.

Despite their love for the manga and their desire for it to continue for a long time, fans have a looming fear. Black Clover chapter 369 was only 28 pages long, leading fans to worry that future chapters may also be short.

The low page count in the latest chapter may have been intentional to ensure that the 36th volume of the series has the appropriate number of pages. As a result, future chapters may contain around 50 pages each.

Editor's P/S

As a passionate fan of Black Clover, I am thrilled to see that Yuki Tabata is taking a strategic approach to debunking the Jump GIGA myth. The recent spoilers for chapter 369 reveal an intense pacing that sets the stage for a thrilling conclusion, while also hinting at a lengthy run for the series. Tabata's determination to provide a satisfying ending despite his health issues is truly commendable, and I am confident that he will deliver an epic conclusion to the story.

However, I share the concerns of other fans regarding the short length of chapter 369. With only 28 pages, it felt like the chapter was cut short, leaving us wanting more. I hope that future chapters will have a more substantial page count, allowing Tabata to fully develop the plot and character arcs without feeling rushed. Despite this minor concern, I remain optimistic about the future of Black Clover and eagerly await the next chapter.
