Black Clover arcs by the numbers
The 10 arcs average 17.3 episodes each, but the spread is wide: Elf Reincarnation Arc runs 61 episodes while 2 arcs last only 6 episodes each. 2 arcs run 20 episodes or more, and 2 arcs take six episodes or fewer. They are spread over 2 seasons, so arcs that cross a season break are shown once with both parts.
None of the 10 arcs is filler from start to finish, so every arc here moves the main story forward.
Spade Kingdom Raid Arc is the densest adaptation: chapters 261–284 fit into 6 episodes, about 4 chapters per episode.
