Crunchyroll confirms English dubs for Black Clover and Aoashi Season 2
Crunchyroll has started the English dub for Black Clover Season 2 and is rolling out Aoashi Season 2's dub with a packed returning cast.
Crunchyroll has announced the English dub cast and staff for the second seasons of Black Clover and Aoashi, with both dubs now joining the autumn anime line-up.1 The first English-dubbed episode of Black Clover Season 2 began streaming on October 18, while Aoashi Season 2's dub follows on October 19.1
Black Clover's English dub returns
Dallas Reid returns as Asta, with Micah Solusod as Yuno and Bryce Papenbrook as Liebe. The wider cast includes Colleen Clinkenbeard as Charlotte, Patrick Seitz as Dante, Monica Rial as Mereoleona, Zeno Robinson as Zenon and many other returning performers.1
Crunchyroll also credits Justin Cook, Michael Harcourt and Nathanael Harrison as studio producers, with Susie Nixon producing and Jason Lord directing the voice performances.1 The second season began its Japanese broadcast on October 3 and is streaming internationally on Crunchyroll as it airs.1
Aoashi's football drama gets its dub
The Aoashi dub stars Ciarán Strange as Ashito, Eric Vale as Fukuda, Garret Storms as Kuribayashi and Christopher Llewyn Ramirez as Ohtomo, alongside a large returning ensemble.2 Shawn Gann is listed as voice director, with Crunchyroll again handling the studio production.2
The second season of Aoashi debuted in Japan on October 4. Crunchyroll's announcement confirms that its English version is now being rolled out alongside the series rather than arriving as a separate later release.2
What this means for viewers
For UK viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: both shows are receiving English-dub episodes during the current autumn season, with Black Clover starting first and Aoashi following shortly afterwards.12 The announcements are primarily cast and production updates, but they also confirm that neither series is waiting for a completed Japanese broadcast before its dub begins.
Our opinion
This is useful news for viewers who follow both shows in English, particularly because Crunchyroll has provided unusually complete cast and staff information rather than only naming the lead performers. Black Clover gets the bigger headline cast, but the Aoashi details matter just as much: sports anime dubs live or die on the chemistry and energy of their ensemble. Rolling both releases into the same week also makes Crunchyroll's seasonal dub line-up easier to follow without implying that the two productions are connected.
