Clevatess Offers Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Dark Fantasy Alternative

On October 12, 2026, Clevatess was highlighted as a dark fantasy anime alternative for Jujutsu Kaisen fans, featuring supernatural battles, a medieval setting, and a story about humans and powerful nonhuman beings, according to ScreenRant. The anime is adapted by Lay-duce from Yūji Iwahara's LINE Manga series and was introduced in Crunchyroll's Summer 2025 anime lineup. ScreenRant reported that Clevatess has released two full seasons.

The story takes place on the continent of Edthea, where humanoid races exist under the influence of four powerful Lords of Dark Beasts. According to ScreenRant, the series follows Clevatess after he defeats twelve heroes using magical weapons called Regalia.

ScreenRant reported that Clevatess later attacks the Kingdom of Hiden but spares an infant named Luna. The decision leads the character into a conflict centered on humanity's survival and the connection between humans and supernatural creatures.

Alicia becomes another central figure after Clevatess revives her using his Dark Ichor, according to ScreenRant. The story develops as Clevatess allows Alicia to protect Luna while he takes a human-like form called Klen. ScreenRant identified the relationship between Alicia and Klen as a major difference from the dynamic between Yuji Itadori and Ryomen Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen. The series focuses on a destructive being interacting with humanity through a different character structure.

Clevatess season 2 also includes an institution similar to Jujutsu High, according to ScreenRant. The anime features supernatural abilities, intense combat, regeneration, physical injuries, and a medieval world separate from Jujutsu Kaisen's urban setting. ScreenRant reported that Clevatess season 2 ended with unresolved developments involving the series' lore, humanity, and the relationship between Dark Beasts and humans. No season 3 announcement for Clevatess has been confirmed, while a Jujutsu Kaisen season 4 update is expected at Jump Festa 2027 in December, according to ScreenRant.
