One Piece, Naruto and Bleach creators celebrate Black Clover’s 10th anniversary with tribute art

To mark the 10th anniversary of Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover manga, renowned creators from the world of One Piece, Naruto and Bleach have contributed commemorative artwork featuring Tabata’s characters.

The first three pieces—by Eiichiro Oda (One Piece), Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto) and Tite Kubo (Bleach)—were unveiled ahead of the full presentation in Shonen Jump GIGA Summer 2025, due in Japan on August 12.

Additional contributors include high-profile names such as Gege Akutami, Kenta Shinohara, Koyoharu Gotouge and Yusuke Murata. A special anniversary video showcasing this collection has also been released as part of the celebration.

Black Clover first started in Weekly Shonen Jump in February 2015 before moving to Jump GIGA in December 2023. To date, the manga has published 36 volumes in Japan.

Its anime adaptation aired from October 2017 to March 2021 over 170 episodes at studio Pierrot, under director Tatsuya Yoshihara, with the feature film Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King released in March 2023.

The tribute art and video are part of a broader initiative to honour a decade of Black Clover storytelling by Tabata, whose work centres on young rivals Asta and Yuno, both born on the same day but with opposite magical abilities.

A video celebrating these milestones accompanies the official art release, reinforcing the legacy and continued popularity of the franchise heading into its next chapter.

Last month, a new Black Clover anime season was announced, and it has been confirmed that Crunchyroll will stream the new series. At the time of writing, further details about the upcoming season have yet to be released.
