Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[TyVip]

I'm expecting Gon, Killua, and Hisoka for Jump Force. If they only go for two, then just exclude Killua I guess.

someone points out for big boy series that's what most likely happen happen. Main character, 2nd main character and an antagonist.
Ichigo, Rukia, Aizen. Goku, Vegeta, Frieza
They will most likely add Akainu for One Piece (just like J stars). Also I just realize Rukia is the only female confirmed in the roster right now

 

[shoyoboyo]

Can't wait for Yonagi Kei to be announced as a playable character.

 

[tirakai]

I imagine we'll get 5 for One Piece, since J-stars had 4. It'd make sense to get an extra character for most of the biggest series like how Bleach is adding Rukia, something like

One Piece adding Zoro
DB adding Beerus (or Cell if they stick to Z)
HxH adding Hyskoa
Jojo adding Jojo and Jojo (and maybe Jojo as well since part 5's coming soon)
Naruto adding anyone at all other than Bort please god

and so on.

Classic

I wonder if MHA's big enough for 4 characters, it's certainly hit it off really well internationally and I think there's more of a world-wide focus with this one.

I think the biggest speculation though is if we'll see Kimetsu, Neverland, or Zumou represented, since they'll all have recent anime to promote.

What’s everyone thoughts on Muhyo & Roji?

Personally I don’t think the art lives up to the manga at all

 

[tirakai]

Muhyo and Roji ep 1 was fine, I think it's great that it got an anime at all after all this time, especially since the series was never that big in the first place. How is the manga structured? Does it mainly stick to individual self-contained cases or does it jump into bigger story arcs quickly?

Since I'm pretty curious what they'll do with just 12 eps, if the series is mostly separate cases they could just do their favourites and go full episodic but if it's mostly big arcs I imagine they'd focus mainly on the critical plot stuff for one of them (or try rush through everything at top speed).

If its like JStars then all non-battle shounen characters will be relegated to support.

 

[tirakai]

Neverland would obviously have to be support but Kimetsu and Hinomaru could have full characters easily enough. I'd be pretty curious to see how they'd do a sumo character in this style of fighting game if Hinomaru somehow got his own spot.

Is Dr. Slump battle? I never read it but I thought it was a gag series. Saiki is also playable as is Korosensei which I guess AssClass has battle shonen elements but I wouldn't really call it a battle shonen.

JStars also had characters like Allen and Rukia as support so its obviously not designated for one particular genre or the other though I doubt they'll make sports themed characters playable.

I think one means the characters need to be capable of fighting, hence probably why the students werent chosen in AssClass or Saiki.

I was sure Hinata Shoyo or Kuroko werent chose in the previous jump game cause of this. So its unlikely Emma would be picked unless guns are suddenly all one needs to be playable.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Even so, guns can only do so much. It's not like Emma can talk someone into submission in a fighting game

KoroSensei and Saiki are the main characters of their respective series though so I think that had more to do with it. I agree Emma will probably only be support (assuming support is even in this game, have we seen or heard any evidence for it?) but I could see Tanjiro as playable.

Im hoping they would end that series already and come back to jump lol
