    Black Clover Season 3 Officially Cancelled In New Update

    Black Clover Season 2 officially revived the series after a 5-year-long and tedious hiatus. Yet, despite this new revival in October 2026, we are bidding farewell to the series far earlier than previously anticipated. While fans previously assumed Black Clover Season 2 would only cover the Spade Kingdom Raid arc as well as the Hino Country arc, the current pace of the season indicates otherwise. With Studio Pierrot adapting around 4 to 5 manga chapters per episode and with 26 total releases on the way, Black Clover is set to end with its second installment.

    As things stand, Black Clover chapter 392 is set to be adapted as part of Season 2, which means that the story is ending here and that the third season for the series, which many fans wanted, is being cancelled. After years of amazing battles, Black Clover anime will see its conclusion either in 2027 or 2028.

    Black Clover Season 2 Is Extremely Fast-Paced With 4 to 5 Chapters Adapted Per Episode

    The Black Clover anime, which was aired globally on Crunchyroll, went on hiatus in 2021 after the release of Episode 170. The main reason why the series was forced to go on hiatus was due to the manga by Yuki Tabata, which it had almost caught up with. At the same time, Studio Pierrot was undergoing some major restructuring, and all things combined forced the anime on a long hiatus. With that being said, at Jump Festa 2025, the return of Black Clover was officially announced by Studio Pierrot.

    Now, over a year later, we’ve witnessed the debut of Black Clover Season 2, the latest installment of the series. This new Black Clover Season kickstarted on October 3, 2026 with its first episode, which brought us to the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc’s main action.

    Since the debut of the first episode, we’ve been treated to the release of four more episodes, bringing us to the latest Black Clover Season 2 Episode 5, released on October 31, 2026. So far, with each new release, we’ve seen consistent pacing. Studio Pierrot, the giant behind Black Clover, has been adapting what would equate to around 4 to 5 chapters per episode. Here is the exact breakdown of every episode so far:

    • Black Clover Season 2, Episode 1, released on October 3, adapted 4.5 chapters from 270 to around 275. It showcased the true beginning of the raid on Spade to save Yami and prevent the opening of the Gates of the Tree of Qilpoth.
    • Black Clover Season 2 Episode 2, which premiered October 10, adapted 4 chapters from 275 to 279. Yuno’s new transformation stole the show in this release.
    • Black Clover Season 2 Episode 3, which was released on October 17, took on 4.5 chapters and brought to life chapters 280 to 284 as Asta’s new Devil Union set the stage for the battles to come.
    • Black Clover Season 2 Episode 4 from October 24 covered 4 chapters. With Nacht’s backstory and a new battle, we saw the adaptation of chapters 285 to 289.
    • The latest Episode 5 adapted 4 chapters in total. The full battle of Dante versus Magna and other conflicts were brought to life, spanning Chapters 290 to 294 of the manga.

    This pattern is likely to continue with episode 6 and all the releases moving forward.

    Black Clover’s Pacing And Final Season Label Confirms Season 2 Will Wrap Up The Story

    Adapting 4 to 5 chapters per episode is definitely not something that would be considered ideal for most anime series. Typically, as a rule of thumb, the perfect pacing for 20-minute episodes is around 3-3.5 manga chapters’ worth of content. Black Clover is clearly over that, but since the content adapted is incredibly battle-heavy, it doesn’t impact the pacing and flows perfectly.

    As things stand, Black Clover Season 2 will comfortably adapt the entire manga within the remaining episodes. The pacing itself isn’t an issue, but what especially confirms Black Clover Season 2 being the end of the road for the series is the seasonal title. Based on information revealed to us via TV Tokyo, Black Clover Season 2 is going to have a total of 26 episodes split over 2 cours. On top of that, the second cour carries the label of “Final Season,” which confirms that Yuki Tabata’s story is going to be wrapped up in this very installment.

    For context, Black Clover’s manga ended in chapter 392, which was released officially on May 1, 2026, in Jump GIGA’s Spring edition. In addition, an extra chapter was released on August 4, 2026, bringing the total to 393 chapters. At the current pace of 4 to 5 chapters, 26 episodes are more than enough to cover the remaining content.

    Why Black Clover Season 3 Was Cancelled

    Based on everything we know, Black Clover is ending soon after its revival. While many fans had hoped for Black Clover Season 3 after the conclusion of the second season of the anime, that is, unfortunately, not going to happen. The Judgment Day arc of the series is officially set to be adapted in the second cour of the series, which means Black Clover Season 3 has been officially cancelled.

    Based on the pacing, the adaptation of Judgment Day in the second part of the second season makes perfect sense, and while this might seem rushed to some fans, it works out for Studio Pierrot according to their current pacing plan and adaptation of Yuki Tabata’s work. With Judgment Day ending the season, there is no need for Season 3, and its cancellation is basically imminent.







    All things considered, Black Clover Season 2 is truly the end of the road for the anime series, and its second part will also deliver the amazing epilogue that we’ve all been waiting to see the adaptation of. For now, we still don’t have an exact ending date for Black Clover. Black Clover Season 2 Part 1, covering the Spade Kingdom Raid arc, should end sometime in January 2027. Afterwards, a hiatus is likely to take place, giving Studio Pierrot more time to polish Black Clover Season 2 Part 2.

    Black Clover Season 2 Part 2 is teased to return sometime in 2027. It might reach its ending either the very same year, in 2027, or sometime in 2028. It all depends on the release date of this finale. Since Yuki Tabata currently has no plans to return with new manga content, apart from a new artbook this November, this is the end of the road for Black Clover. Naturally, this is a sad time for fans of the series who were just eager to see Asta and the team back after a 5-year-long break.

    For now, we can enjoy the ongoing run of Black Clover Season 2. All episodes of Black Clover Season 2 are released weekly on Crunchyroll, every Saturday. Black Clover Season 2 Episode 6 is set to be released on November 7, 2026, covering Noelle’s exciting battle against Megicula. Fans in the U.S. can catch this episode upon its premiere at 8:00 am PT or 11:00 am ET.

  • Good looks ni Jeo Ong may koneksyon daw sa Korean drama na Jumong?!

    Good looks ni Jeo Ong may koneksyon daw sa Korean drama na Jumong?!

    MUKHANG may Korean drama connection ang good looks ni Jeo Ong!

    Bago pa man makilala bilang isa sa mga housemate na kinagigiliwan ngayon sa Pinoy Big Brother Collab 3.0, may nakakatuwang kwento na palang ibinahagi ang ina niyang si Janice.

    Nabanggit na kasi noon ng nanay ni Jeo kung saan siya ipinaglihi noong ipinagbubuntis pa.

    At sino pa nga ba? Walang iba kundi ang bidang karakter sa sikat na Korean historical drama na “Jumong”!

    Baka Bet Mo: Jeo Ong ipinagtanggol ng celebrity dentist: Fresh breath yan

    Mapapanood pa nga sa lumang vlog ng Ong Fam ang isang eksena kung saan nag-costume pa mismo ang binata para mas maging aliw ang pagpapaliwanag ni Janice.

    “Sa hindi nakakaalam, si Jeo [Ong], pinaglihi ko ‘yan kay Jumong,” sey ng ina ng PBB housemate.

    <iframe src=" width="560" height="314" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

    Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, ang tinutukoy ni Janice ay ang karakter na Jumong mula sa sikat na South Korean historical television drama na may parehong pamagat.

    Ginampanan ito ng Korean actor na si Song Il-kook at naging patok na patok sa mga Pinoy nang ipalabas ang serye sa GMA Heart of Asia noong 2007.

    Samantala, hindi rin naman nakapagtataka kung bakit maraming viewers ang napapatingin kay Jeo ngayong bahagi na siya ng PBB Collab 3.0.

    Bukod kasi sa kanyang pagiging Adventure Boy-Next-Door ng Palawan, isa rin siya sa mga housemate na napapansin dahil sa kanyang good looks at charming personality.

    Patunay rito ang isang eksena sa Day 3 episode ng programa na umere noong October 26.

    Sa kanilang pag-uusap sa confession room, tinanong ni Kuya si Bela Arcal kung sino ang pinakapoging lalaki sa mga housemate.

    Hindi man agad maalala ni Bela ang pangalan ng tinutukoy niya, malinaw naman ang kanyang description.

    Ayon sa kanya, ang content creator na palaging nagsasabi ng “I got this” at nagsusuot ng bandana ang napansin niya.

    Nang subukan niyang banggitin ang pangalan nito, nasabi niya ang “Jef Ong,” na agad namang itinama ni Kuya dahil si Jeo Ong pala ang tinutukoy niya!

    Pero hindi lang mukha ang puhunan ni Jeo sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya. 

    Napansin din ng viewers ang pagiging maasikaso at masipag niya, lalo na sa pagtulong sa mga gawaing-bahay.

  • Google Staffers Say They’re Being Silenced From Telling the Public the Truth About AI

    Google Staffers Say They’re Being Silenced From Telling the Public the Truth About AI

    Workers at one of the most advanced AI labs on the planet say they have important information to share — but their employer is preventing them from speaking out.

    New reporting by the Washington Post revealed a growing divide between workers and management at Google’s DeepMind lab in London, where employees are gagged from letting the public know about their concerns due to a sweeping non-disparagement agreement.

    Non-disparagement agreements are a kind of legal corporate censorship, by which companies can ensure workers aren’t able to disclose info the company deems to be negative or critical. At the DeepMind labs, it appears to be having its intended effect, scaring workers who say they’d like to be able to keep the public involved as the technology progresses.

    “This technology is just really consequential and it’s also changing really fast,” one anonymous DeepMind staffer told WaPo. “The public wants to know and deserves to know and often this is the only way that people find out about the harms and potential harms that are happening.”

    Two of the lab’s staffers told the paper of a discussion group organized by their fellow workers to discuss the implications of the non-disparagement clause, which many signed as a condition for employment. Dozens of employees took part, some of them openly criticizing it with references to the dystopian surveillance state featured in George Orwell’s “1984.”

    Though questions are swirling over whether Google’s top brass would ever invoke the clause to go after staff — or if Google even could, legally speaking — workers say the agreements go too far regardless.

    As one DeepMind staffer told WaPo, even “if it’s not enforceable,” the attempted gag order speaks for itself: “the reason is to basically intimidate people.”

  • Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Now Boots on Jailbroken PS5 and iPhone 17 Pro Max

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Now Boots on Jailbroken PS5 and iPhone 17 Pro Max

    Nintendo’s Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched on Switch 2 on November 5, and it is already running on a jailbroken PlayStation 5 and an iPhone. On PS5, Vampinity posted results in the GitHub repository for EglantinePS5, a PS5 port of a Switch emulator based on Eden. On firmware 12.40, the game loads a save, and Link can walk out of his house into Kokiri Forest at roughly 15 to 20 FPS. However, it runs out of memory a couple of minutes in, with heavy white fog and missing geometry in the forest. Vampinity calls it “nowhere near playable” and says Claude wrote the patches. Apparently, much of the shader work was borrowed from forks of Lichii, the emulator that got the remake running on PC on launch day.

    The iPhone port comes from developer Joe Jiang, who showed Kokiri Forest running on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to Jiang, memory was the hardest part, since the game wants about 9 GB while a single iPhone app is capped at 8,192 MB. He claims his approach keeps quality intact and peaks at just 3.4 GB when loading scenes. Apparently, the method isn’t specific to Ocarina, and Jiang says it could bring any Switch or Switch 2 game to iOS, iPadOS, Apple TV, Android, and HarmonyOS. He hasn’t released it yet, but it isn’t the first Switch 2 game on iPhone. Mario Kart World booted on one shortly after the console’s first jailbreak went public. The PS5 port, meanwhile, needs the Relapse jailbreak, which covers firmware 7.00 through 13.60. Neither is a practical way to play the game yet, but I’m sure Nintendo isn’t too happy about the remake breaking containment this quickly.

    Boobsie may nakakalokang karanasan bago pumanaw si Ate Gay

    HINDING-HINDI malilimutan ni Boobsie Wonderland ang  huling pagkikita at pag-uusap nila ng kapwa komedyanteng si Ate Gay noong nabubuhay pa ito.

    Naging parang eksena pa rin daw kasi sa comedy bar ang mga huling sandali ni Ate Gay o Gil Aducal Morales sa tunay na buhay, nang bisitahin siya ni Boobsie sa kanilang bahay.  

    Pumanaw ang veteran comedian at kilalang impersonator ng Superstar na si Nora Aunor noong mismong All Saints’ Day, November 1, 2026 matapos makipaglaban sa cancer.

    Sa guesting ni Boobsie sa “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” kasama ang mga kapwa comedian din na sina Wacky Kiray at Pepita Curtis, ay naikuwento nga niya ang huling pagkikita nila ni Ate Gay.

    Baka Bet Mo: Xian Gaza pinababayaran kay Alden Richards bill ni Ate Gay

    Binisita raw niya si Ate Gay sa bahay nito sa Tondo, Manila pagkatapos ang isinagawang living funeral para sa yumaong komedyante sa Forest Lake Memorial Parks, Biñan, Laguna.

    “After ng living funeral, naatasan po ako na ako yung humanap sa pamilya niya para mag-interview.

    “Kasi yung ginawa po sa akin ni Ate Gay dati sa Wish Ko Lang, parang payback ko naman sa kanya dahil tinawagan po ako ng Forest Lake Funeral,” kuwento ni Boobsie. 

    Pagpapatuloy niya, “Medyo nakakatawa po kasi nung pagpunta ko sa pamilya niya, hindi ko ine-expect na nandun siya sa Tondo.

    “So pagpasok ko ng bahay nila, sabi ng kapatid niya, ‘Ma’am Boobsie, diretso na po kayo sa itaas. Nandoon po si Ate Gay.’

    “So nagulat ako. Nawala na sa focus ko yung pag-iinterbyu sa kanya. Pagpunta ko sa itaas, naka-oxygen siya. Sabi ko, ‘Ate Gay, anong nangyari sa ‘yo? Bakit ganyan?’ 

    “Sabi niya, ‘Kahapon pa ako hindi makahinga.’ Nahihirapan daw siyang magsalita,” ani Boobsie.

    Habang nagchichikahan daw sila ay na-focus ang tingin ni Boobsie ang oxygen tank ni Ate Gay, “Napansin ko yung tangke. Sabi ko, ‘Paanong hindi ka makakahinga, e, yung tangke, hindi nakabukas?”

    “Opo, nakakatawa talaga. So ako, tawang-tawa talaga. Alam mo yung hindi kumukulo yung tangke?” natawang pag-alala pa ni Boobsie.

    “Alam n’yo, umaga pa raw siya nakaratay nang ganoon. Dumating kami, ala-singko nang hapon. 

    “Ang ibig sabihin mula umaga hanggang ala-5 nang hapon, nagtitiis siya nang ganoon. Sabi ko, ‘Daddy (partner niya), buksan mo nga yung tangke!’ Sabi niya (Ate Gay), ‘Boobsie, buti na lang, dumating kayong mag-asawa!’ Sabi niya, ‘Hirap na hirap na ako. Mabuti pala, dumating kayo.’

    “Napamura nga siya! Pagkabukas ng tangke, kumulu-kumulo na. Ay, yun pala, ganoon pala,” sabi pa ni

    Boobsi sabay dialogue ng, “Ate Gay, I love you!”
