the chapter that is published in the magazine has already been made at least 2 weeks in advance
Yep. Remember Saiyuki? Remember how, when the call for cancellation came, the series turned into a giant exposition dump in order to reveal all the things that were planned?
If the series is actually moving towards cancellation, than that would be... incredible, for lack of a better term.
I’m still kind of hyped for this, hopefully it’s better than the other two new series.Preview of Issue #10 of 2020 (HQ)
... I'm still sad about it, the reveals were honestly really interesting, I would've loved to see them properly presented.
That's not the way I would categorize it. To me, this is deeply saddening. I WANT more veterans to return.
He will, though. Kishi put his all into this series. I also think this will impact Jump negatively with future veterans returning.
I definitely don't mean incredible in a good way at all, I think I found a better word... unbelievable. Like, I really thought that Samurai 8 was going to survive, even if it flopped, because it was doing just enough to survive, but it might not even do that anymore. I thought Kishimoto would've command a bigger audience, considering Naruto's massive success.
Kishimoto or not, people aren't going to buy volumes of something that they don't think is good. It's really simple as that. The first chapter was everywhere and they advertised it hard, people knew about it, they just weren't interested.
What I'm saying is, no veteran is going to receive similar treatment as Kishi did, aside from Oda or Toriyama. If even Kishi can't survive on his name, none of the lesser veterans (not lesser quality, but with series less popular than Naruto was) will either.
Exactly. I think people really are forgetting that Jump did everything in their power to back S8 up. They gave it probably the biggest amount of advertising for a new manga in industry history, with the Festa promo video, billboards all across Shibuya and the Yamanobe line, and an interview in the Yomiuri Shimbun , and yet the series still failed to meet expectations by major margin. Even when it began running, Jump placed it in the May promo video when Chainsaw Man didn't despite strong sales, and got an LCP with Chapter 12. Jump was incredibly kind to Kishimoto, and yet they got basically nothing in return.

....Last time I checked, you can't make a "headcanon" of reality.
There is no headcanon, you can confirm for yourself that stuff like Sasuke, the genin tournament as well as it being interrupted by Orochimaru etc. are the editor's suggestions.
How about living because people like your manga instead? Like, was S8 going to do better anywhere else?
Forget about Kishi for a moment. The last few veterans that came back all failed as well.
Because. Editors. Are. Not. Writers.
Weeeeellll, if we look at the veteran returns in the last three years, Inagaki actually succeded with Dr Stone, Fujimaki was actually looking good with Robot until things blew up in his face, Tamura basically had no real strong ideas, and Shiibashi...well, Yui Kamio was Yui Kamio.
