Hell yes. I love the Moro arc and Granola arc. They've been the only Super arcs that to me actually felt like Dragon Ball, and a genuine evolution of the lore rather than just lazy nostalgia pandering. Sure, the universe tournament fits that description as well, but idk I wasn't too big on that arc.
I probably won't be watching as I'm primarily a manga reader, but I'm glad casuals will get to finally enjoy these arcs.
I wonder when Toyotaro will come back to the manga. I heard he's doing a new series now? Hopefully it's intended to be a short one.

Remember that time Dragon Ball Super caused an international conflict between Mexico and Japan?

Yo guys, how are the expectations for Under Doctor? Since i already checked the chapter i know what to expect but still hyped to see if the writing and dialogue are as good :D
Every manga that has a professional to make it accurate is a success in this magazine, so…
--- Double Post Merged, , Original Post Date: ---

And also a "Remaster" of the Beerus arc with new animation and scenes for Fall 2026:

These sequels having everything while boruto’s being completely ignored by VJump and SHUEISHA 😭:shootme
--- Double Post Merged, ---

I’m very excited for DBS tho

I think a Mexico governor had DBS: Tournament of Power streamed while it had been airing on a public square or something, and got notified by the Japanese government to stop.

Ngl i wouldn't be surprised if Under Doctor inspiration was the Hyuga Clan from NARUTO. There's a lot of similarities there.

Under Doctor was competent at least. But yes, the super eye powers are pretty much overplayed at this point. That said, it still has potential. As long as it doesn’t fumble the next few chapters. I’m definitely sticking around to see how it goes.

it was a normal start, nothing to big (like Kaedegami's 1st chapter that was insanely good), but i quite liked the power and just like @Shinuki no Reborn stated, it does look like SPY x FAMILY, i wonder if he was a former assistant.

Again, it reminded me so much about the Hyuga Clan, so it was interesting

That's a solid ass chapter 1 for under doctor.

It kinda captures that hopeful feeling you got from mha.

The whole "I can see pressure points" check me out at first but him having a backstory of a typical battle shonen protagonist who was born from some strong clan and was originally trained to fight brought me back. The small subversion of him using it for medicine is something i like about it.

I hope we see the old men again.

Under Doctor's first chapter felt quite distinct compared to Jump's recent stuff, there's definitely a bit of Sakamoto Days in there but overall I'd say it managed to pull off its own feel. I hope it continues mixing medical stuff and action instead of becoming a pure battle shounen right away. It'd be cool to have a mixed genre like that.

The first chapter did feel very complete though, there's a couple brief bigger story things like MC's flashback and having a Shinobigoto-style operator, but right now I have no clue what it'll be like going forward.

RIP Harukaze, it was fine. Inoffensive with pretty good characters, but lacking any true wow factor to keep it going. Feels like Jump's never going to find a new sports hit at this rate. I expect we'll see a couple more attempts this year, but if there's still nothing sticking by 2027 perhaps Jump will just give up on the genre entirely.

Very solid issue of Jump this week, pretty much all the series I follow had an above average chapter (Nue annd Ichi being highlights) except for Harukaze (RIP) and Hero Girl which I’m going to drop.

Under Doctor was very solid, I thought the pacing and structure in particular deserves praise. I look forward to seeing how it develops.

Harukaze remains pretty much fine until the end, though obviously this chapter was very choppy. Maybe next time Gotou and Matsuura can get to 31 chapters lol.

A lot of these new series make you wonder what the editor read to decide to serialize it, but Under Doctor is at least a case where the first chapter is just really competent. So that gives it a leg up over quite a few of these previous serializations.
