My God, no. Anything but this.

There won't be real possibility of doing this. The way the story is heading is to close JJK for good.

 

[Dippy Fresh]

I think it is hasty to assume and assert that the 3 color pages is directly correlated to the advent of more JJK spinoffs. Given the gap between JJK and Modulo’s announcement I’d be surprised if they were already raring to announce another sequel that quickly after Modulo.

I do agree that the first of these 3 color pages is highly unusual though. The latter 2 make sense as the cover followed by double spread final chapter CP, but having another before is surprising unless they’re just really eager to promote while the anime’s hot and volume 2 approaches,

I'm not reading Modulo, is Yuji a big presence? If so, the 1st Color Page could tie in with the anime or even announce Modulo is in production after the final season.

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

wtf is this lol

3 consecutive? It doesn’t need that much come on

Yuji is literally THE reason big chunk of modulo readers are reading.

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

Yeah modulo is going through a path that is probably closing jjk forever… I don’t think there’ll be a sequel or stuff like this

 

[Dippy Fresh]

I meant more of like, he wasn't in the original chapters, right? Is he like a main focus/pseudo main character rn or more supporting

He is pretty much stealing the show RN

Exactly. There will be no way of having sequels to JJK.

Why do you want to see me suffer? Enough, let this manga die in peace.

Please, let this be true

 

[RealityChecker]

I meant to say there won't be new sequels to JJK.

 

[Broseph]

It’ll def depend on the last few chapters. I thought Gege was setting Modulo up to leave JJK universe open for more sequels but the last chapter has me questioning that now. There’s a possibility that the ending of Modulo will close JJK as a whole. Could be a fake out but the option was raised

 

[Ebrietas-]

It's obvious JJK will end with Modulo. Jump will definitely want another Gege/Iwasaki combo with a new series though. It's silly to look for hidden meaning behind number of colour pages when its so dependent on whether the artist can even handle doing one.

From what I see, it will end the JJK universe for good. And in my opinion, it is probably for the best. JJK is a really good series, but I think Gege wants to move on and to not let anyone butcher its work after it. If somehow they make a sequel to it, it will be totally frowned upon since JJK Modulo ending the way it is ending.

Maybe they will return with a completely new series after some years.

I would say this is a bit overblown. Up until the last chapter Yuji was a force of “I’m here to make sure things can carry out properly, not to meddle in the main events.” Now to your credit he did suddenly become noticeably more important last chapter out of nowhere, so of the 2 main camera lenses of the series right now one of them is focused on him. So yeah his relevance has shot up, but he has not become the absolute core of everything in Modulo like some of your comments give the impression of.

The fandom on the other hand, that’s just how some people are. They hear the name of their favorite mc and come flocking eagerly with little regard for anything else. Yuji’s ability to get people to read Modulo and Yuji’s importance in Modulo are two separate data points.

 

[Aqyurs]

I want to point out, this isn't that unprecedented. Reborn got 4 color pages in a row in 2009 (granted, it wasn't for it ending since it didn't end until 2012):

It was just for regular announcements (a popularity poll, an artbook, and I forget what the other two were but they didn't matter). So Modulo getting 3 in a row could mean something like a sequel getting announced or something, but it's not really a guarantee.

Right now, I'd just chalk it up to Saito, once again, being awful at fairly distributing color pages.

 

[NeeNeen]

I meant more of like, he wasn't in the original chapters, right? Is he like a main focus/pseudo main character rn or more supporting

From the perspective of someone who's never read JJK: he's a hobo in a hoodie (we never see his face) who just showed up 2-3 chapters ago, casually took out some goon armies, went "Oh no, I'm totally just an extra, please continue" and then somehow appeared in the Rumelian spaceship together with one of the main characters to go take a walk in the underworld and meet up with some other dead hobo to bring harmony to the world or something.

And if that sounds confusing, it is, because apparently even people who did read JJK feel like we skipped a chapter somewhere.

You probably didn't see people's reaction to Modulo ch1 because all people were talking about was Yuji since ch1 (despite him not showing up yet even then).

What I meant "unprecedented" is 3 consecutive CP for a manga that is ending.

 

[icrawfish]

ou probably didn't see people's reaction to Modulo ch1 because all people were talking about was Yuji since ch1 (despite him not showing up yet even then).

I mean that’s just people naturally speculating things. Oh it’s only been 68 years? I wonder if Yuji’s still around?” That’s pretty common, especially in the absence of too much else to discuss since the series had just started, so saying that Yuji’s been a constant talking point doesn’t mean that the whole series and fanbase has revolved purely around him, even if he has continued to grow in significance.

 

[defensor_de_boruto]

i hope they don't give jjk modulo the cover for the last chapter because i want Slam Dunk to be the only series to end with a cover...

Kochikame already got it and so did one other series from the 70s or 80s
