I'm meaning that the manga will inevitably end at some point, unless it's the second coming of JoJo's, which I've read it, and it's good, but not JoJo's. When I talk about the manga ending, I'm talking about the near-to-distant future. The anime could have a two-cour first season, and then wait 2 years for another season and repeat until the manga's finished, in which case, the anime can adapt the manga's ending, unless the writer decides that the anime should have a different ending while having that same level of involvement. It also depends on if the anime makes money, but the manga seems to be making money, so it's probable that the anime makes money.

jojo adapted when they are already has 7 part finished.. it fans need years (literaly more than 20 years) for them to get adaptation and it still currently reaching part 4, not to mention it give little original source boost... this kind of models is outdated... i am admitting that i am personally want break adaptation (but major series adaptation model one), but it's pretty much confirmed another long run by pierrot...

Why did it have to be perriot? I'm kinda worried about the anime now, especially since they've butchered other adaptations in the past. I really hope they put their best foot forward since I really like the manga (as cliched as it may be, it is still fun)

you are implying that when anime start, the manga would stop... also, a vol series usually adapted around 4 episode (if they adapted near 2 chapter/episode) whihc is fine pace... jojo is special case since most of it is action scane which can be rushed without noticibly... stardust crusader actually around 4-5 chapter/episode... BnHA was 1,3-2 chapter per episode...
i don't said it had to be long run, but if perrot want to maximize tv rangking and merchendise sales, they need a long run that consistently take viewer attention... and obviously that what would they do...even a break can harm it...

It doesn't have enough content for 50 episodes, unless they REALLY try to flesh things out, but the source material only has a bit over a hundred chapters, and around 100 chapters usually equals 25 episodes of anime, as four chapters are usually episode length, for example, both seasons of Magi took up around 100 chapters each, and the first season of JoJo's was adapted from 113 chapters exactly.
It is possible to get more for each chapter depending on the content, like how Stardust crusaders was adapted from 152 chapters, but that's because counting the chapters isn't always accurate.
The other method that's more accurate is counting the number of volumes and multiplying them by three, because one volume of manga usually contains three episodes and a novel is usually six episodes if you don't skip over content. Someone in the comments said that the manga was currently 13+ manga volumes and a novel. 13 times 3 is 39 plus 6 is 45, which is close to 50, they would run out of content if they adapted all of it right off the bat. if they go for a 2-cour series than they'll likely be open for a possible sequel.
I'm against the idea of the series being long-running, because long-running shounen are kind of a thing of the past, there are only a few left, like Boruto, One Piece and Case Closed. I like 2-cour series because they're more fleshed out, but don't overstay their welcome.
It's noteworthy that my opinion isn't fact, I just like to explain myself a lot like a light-novel protagonist sometimes.

I wasn't implying that at all, I was saying that if the anime were to have multiple seasons, than it and the manga could have the same ending.

If Pierrot made some slow-paced episodes or filler episodes for Black Clover, they could still reach 50 episodes with it.

yeah, I recognize that they could use filler to reach 50, but I'd like if the series still had content to animate in a sequel or 2 in a few years. I like the idea of an FMA length series, but I don't want Black clover to become the next Twin Star Exorcists or Tegami bachi, which I know were based off of monthly manga as opposed to weekly, but I'm not a fan of filler(with a few exceptions) and I'd prefer if the anime would be able to end the same way the manga will inevitably end.
