Princia Funnybunny and Asta in Black Clover

The last chapters of Yuki Tabata’s Black Clover ended on May 1, 2026. Many fans wanted more, but the story also grew through the final official guidebook, Perfect Grimoire, which came out in Japan on August 4, 2026. The book adds key lore about the Wizard Kings who came before Asta.

Summary

The Perfect Grimoire guidebook states that Princia Funnybunny, not Asta, was the first Wizard King to break the Clover Kingdom’s noble bloodline rule.

• As the 11th Wizard King and the only confirmed female holder of the title, she won through combat skill, not family line. Her fall makes Asta’s later rise even more important.
• The Black Clover manga ended on May 1, 2026.
• Princia set an early example by gaining the title without the support of a strong noble family. That made Asta’s rise as the 29th Wizard King a historic step.

Guidebook confirms Princia Funnybunny was the first revolutionary Wizard King

Black Clover manga faced multiple breaks due to Yuki Tabata’s health issues worsening from a heavy workload.

He still finished the series on May 1, 2026, in the spring issue of Jump GIGA. Chapters 390-392 opened a new era for the Clover Kingdom. When the story ended, Asta became the 29th Wizard King after Julius Novacrono.

Asta is seen as the first revolutionary Wizard King because he rose from commoner to the top magic role in the land.

The new guidebook states that Princia Funnybunny, who debuted in the 2023 anime movie Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, was the first to break the rule that only nobles could become Wizard King.

The book says Princia was the 11th Wizard King and lived about 150 years ago.

Before her, all 10 previous Wizard Kings were direct descendants of Lumiel Silvamillion, the first Wizard King, and they viewed the title as their birthright.

Princia changed that idea through skill alone. Her Legion Magic let her create and control many magic soldiers, almost like a one-person army. That made her one of the strongest mages in the series.

The guidebook also says Princia is the only female Wizard King we know of. There have been 29 Wizard Kings in total, but the black clover wizard kings list still has gaps. We only know the names and faces of seven of them, so Tabata may still reveal more later.

How Princia paved the way decades before Asta

Asta had no link to nobility. He was an orphan raised at a village church, his mother Richita had no status, and his father is unknown.

Princia belonged to a noble family, but the Funnybunny family lost its wealth and influence due to conflicts among royal families.

So, even though she had noble roots, she did not have strong support when she rose to power.

Princia’s tragic fate and Asta’s righteous legacy

In Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King, Princia’s background is revealed when Conrad Leto uses the Imperial Sword, Elsdocia, to revive her and other Wizard Kings.

The film and the black clover sword of the wizard king princia story show how strong and tragic her life was.

Princia tragically passed away at the young age of 22. Her demise came after an extraordinary feat where she single-handedly defeated the army of the Diamond Kingdom. In a shocking turn of events, officials from the Clover Kingdom chose to conceal the disturbing reality of her family members’ abduction and murder. They made this decision hoping that by keeping such crucial information from her, she would continue to fight valiantly for their cause.

When Princia learned the truth, she turned against the kingdom. The government sealed her magic, took away her title, and sent her to prison. Even then, she died while protecting a village from thieves.

Asta is now the 29th Wizard King, fixing a wrong. Like Princia, he values justice. But he has many supporters and friends to help him create a better future. He also changed how new Magic Knights are chosen. Before he became Wizard King, only rich people could join. Now, anyone can join with hard work and talent.

Q&A

Question: Why is Princia Funnybunny seen as more historic than Asta as Wizard King?

Short answer: The Perfect Grimoire guidebook says Princia was the 11th Wizard King and the first known ruler to break the Clover Kingdom’s noble rule. Asta’s rise is still huge, but Princia set the earlier example by winning the title through combat skill, not family line.

Question: Was Princia born into a common class like Asta?

No, Princia is from the noble Funnybunny family, which has lost much of its wealth and power due to royal conflicts.

So she was not a commoner, but she also did not have the strong noble backing that earlier Wizard Kings had.

Question: What made Princia such a strong mage?

Short answer: Her Legion Magic.

It allowed her to create and command many magical soldiers, making her feel like a powerful one-person army and one of the strongest mages.

Question: Why did Princia turn against the Clover Kingdom?

Short answer: After beating the Diamond Kingdom, she learned that the Clover Kingdom hid the kidnapping and murder of her family to keep her fighting. That betrayal broke her trust, so she rebelled. After that, her magic and title were taken away, and she was imprisoned.

Question: How does Asta’s reign fix Princia’s injustice?

Short answer: Asta keeps the change Princia began by pushing past class limits. He also has the support Princia lacked, and he opened the Magic Knights to anyone who works hard and earns it.
