- Petit Clover! The Nightmarish Charmy SP (Episode 82)

Finral decides to change his ways and become a better man for Finnes, his fiancé. He asks Asta to help him, but his impulse to hit on every female land them both in a mixer. Meanwhile, the Blue Rose Knights help Charlotte out at finding love and invite Yami to the same mixer. Hence, an awkward yet hilarious turn of events takes its course.
2. Must Watch Fillers
Black Clover fillers are mostly recap episodes, so they’re not very great content-wise. There are a few non-recap fillers that are lighthearted and a breath of fresh air!
- Battle to the Death?! Yami VS Jack (Episode 68)
- Petit Clover! The Nightmarish Charmy SP (Episode 82)
- Those Who Have Been Gathered (Episode 134)
- The One Who Has My Heart, My Mind, and Soul (Episode 135)
Please note that these do not have serious battle-oriented storylines, so they are completely optional, and you can totally skip them!
3. Are Fillers The Same as Anime Canon Episodes?
Black Clover has anime canon episodes apart from fillers. Anime canons are different from fillers because they are actually incorporated by the creator of the manga, Yuki Tabata. He has looked over some of the anime-exclusive episodes instead of letting the staff churn out useless fillers.
There are 19 anime-exclusive or anime canon episodes in Black Clover as of September 2020.
Anime Canon Episodes: 3, 13, 55-56, 130-133, 136-146
Do not skip these anime-canon episodes, as they have a well-structured storyline and, despite lacking a manga arc, are really fun to watch!
4. When Will Black Clover Get Back To The Manga-Canon Episodes?
Season 3 of Black Clover is still ongoing. There are 144 episodes released so far, and the current arc is an anime-exclusive arc. This season will end with a total of 154 episodes, and currently, we can only expect the current arc (10th arc) to end this season.
Season 4 hasn’t received an official release date yet, but we can expect to see more manga-oriented content if the show gets a season 4.
