#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.

#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.

Can i see the link to the image teasers?

Because ring necklace can also mean Rika (JJK). And Modulo basically lay groundwork for future get to fight like Rika+Tsurugi.

Modulo has always seem like a groundwork for new jjk franchise.

****

And maybe bullet means the bullet from KHR lol. Anime revival.
I don't have the image right now, will get later this Friday, but no, ring necklace is 100% about Kurapika, with Togashi making that tweet about waiting for Jump announcement about ch420, HxH return is totally getting announced in that Jump Direct

They didn't post but there are a bunch of image teases in the announcement page:

-Bullet
-Bird/Eagle
-Ring Necklace
-Goldfish
-Tattered Book

Bullet might be Sakamoto Days, Ring Necklace has to be Hunter x Hunter, Goldfish will be Kagurabachi and Tattered Book is probably Black Clover, the bird/eagle i don't know

Guys, i think we might actually get Kagurabachi anime announced lol and HxH return!

I'm going to get the page announcement tomorrow for sure 🙏
Bullet is probably an announcement Sakamoto is ending very soon or that another season is on the way. Ring/necklace is likely HxH manga returning. Goldfish is probably KB anime. Tattered book is probably Black clover ending next issue or new anime season. Any theories on bird? Trying to think if there's any older jump series getting anime or new seasons from finished series like elusam

Also Off Topic but sunday honestly has the best lineup out of the four big weekly magazines imo

Why would they announce Black Clover is ending when it is extremely obvious since last jump giga issue though. I will be extremely surprised if it is not ending

I feel like there's a lot of strong opinions here.

On the negative side: Look, jump has all the data and knows what is gonna live and what is gonna flop. I have to trust that a business that's been alive this long knows what its doing for the most part. That being said, the decision with the last batch is...baffling to say the least. Hertz is good for the magazine and JJK Modulo never hurt but I think a lot of us felt 2025 was pretty weak and the Gonron-Hero Girl batch had to be one of the absolute most depressing fails we've seen in a hot sec of a whole batch. I don't see why series like Kyoshi couldn't be near the bottom (no offense Kyoshi fans) since they're obviously not being axed. It just takes SO much wind away for Jump and really feels like the floundering that could kind of be attributed to last year is just continuing full steam. It also makes the UD color page look so bizarre if it doesn't climb back up soon because it really hasn't ranked all that well even before this drop

On the positive side: This isn't abnormal behavior either lol. I get people thinking newbies are being treated harsh but the reality is newbies predominantly run Shonen Jump rn. The hit series from 2020-2025 have all been newbies outside of Ichi in 2024. Moreover, half of all non-axed series from 2020-2025 have been newbies which is something to say when many magazines have vets that serialize for years with multiple series. Jump is likely to find another new hit this year sometime down the line. I still feel this axed is being treated unfairly to a degree, maybe not and Japan doesn't vibe like we do. I don't have the data but usually jump has around 2-3 hits a year, they had essentially 2 last year. Nothing out of the ordinary really, its just a weird position of a "full" magazine but the fullness is occupied by a large variety of mid-tiers versus genuine pillars/strong manga

My bets are the bullet is info on the second Sakamoto Days live action, Ring is something JJK (I do not get where anyone is getting HXH from), Bird I'm really unsure about, the book is about the Black Clover anime's return. And then the goldfish is way too obvious.

The Bird/Eagle is the only one that could be Nue (due to her bird aspects, wings and feathers, etc.) but I don't have much hope LOL

I know my parents are, but I’m a strong resister of AI. At some point people will leave it.
Nah, humans are lazy as fuck and love accessibility. We're on our way to becoming literal Teletubbies.

Ring necklace is Kurapika lol
Can I ask you where did he have a ring necklace? I do not have any memory of that. He has those chains on his fingers, but like Modulo is a series that just wrapped, and one of the main characters carried around a ring on a necklace. So I feel like considering I can point to the object in JJK, versus not even being able to recall what ring necklace kurapika had, that its going to be JJK. I'd love for HxH to return, but I think the hint would be less obscure lol.

Well, Nue's Exorcist anniversary is May 15 and the Jump Direct will be 1 day before issue #22-23 release, so it could be about the 3rd anniversary on #24 or something

Ring necklace is one of the translations, it also can be chain, which also fits perfectly with Kurapika:



The current HxH arc is focused on Kurapika and with the recent tweet from Togashi about ch420 is just a matter of weeks for HxH to return, so it's quite obvious, when i get the page later we will be able to get more clues.

Actually, watching back the last Jump Press, we're all expecting too much. I think the big announcement will be the Kagurabachi anime, but they used this last time to announce like a kagurabachi figurine and a nue pop up shop lol. Some of these things are going to be things that could have been on a random ad page in the mag.

Although, each jump press contained an anime announcement or trailer if I'm not mistaken. (Sakamoto Days, Elusive Samurai, Witch Watch, and finally Akane). So I'd say its more likely than not we're getting one here.

Well...
It would kinda make sense since everyone is named after a bird
  1. Yodaka (Night Jar)
  2. Hibari (Skylark)
  3. Umineko (Gull)
  4. Suzume (Sparrow)
Shinobi merch announcement then maybe?
