I brought up jjk only because it is one of the most prominent example.

I am also reading Kagurabachi and I am definitely do not want to see stray camrips of the 1st ep straying into my TL like what happened with the execution movie last year. A lot of people want to enjoy the 1st ep in high quality in full as it is intended, not by some shit cam rips.

So just don't watch the video, y'all have no self control at all (and don't even try with excuses about how it automatically plays and etc)

Obviously we can do that, but I think you missed their overall point which is that leak culture is dogshit, which I agree with.

Of course with vids you can kinda skip them if they pop up, but you can't really do that with images. I obviously won't say what it was, but I was spoiled like 10 times on the latest OP chapter just by scrolling through Twitter normally before I can even read it, and I'm not even super active on there. There's no way to avoid them, even if you mute certain words, these images will still find their way through the cracks (even more so if there's no words attatched to the tweet and it's literally just a picture). JJK had the same problem MASSIVELY to the point a lot of people didn't even read the chapters and seemingly just read through crappy low quality images and translations done by randos on twitter, same with OP.

There's a reason the KGB fandom on twitter actively banded together to kill those kinds of leaks on there before they even began (as much as they could anyway), when a certain big JJK leaker said he was gonna start doing KGB leaks and every single KGB fan went "no the fuck you aren't" and rejected him lol.

I agree for like leaks of anime, it's less annoying because there's nothing to spoil as much if you read the manga already, but it still all feeds into leaker culture.

I didn't missed any point, i'm talking about someone leaking a cam video of Kagurabachi 1st episode, if you don't want to watch that, just don't do it, i don't care at all if this happens with, i don't know, Nue anime 1st episode or something, i just don't watch it and will wait for the high quality version, simple, monstera just comes off as using it as a way to take his/her usual jab at JJK & the fanbase

Btw, Kagurabachi fans didn't really do shit, the series is leaked online every week on Twitter, they just discouraged the JJK leaker in question from doing it.

Btw, you guys always talk about being spoiled 10x on Twitter by OP pages and etc, but funny enough that never happens with me and i'm a actual leaker (I don't leak chapter pages tho), even Boruto leaks i have to actively search for it when is happening

Well yeah you’re talking about KGB episode 1, but Monstera was clearly talking about leaks culture as a whole and just used KGB ep 1 as an example and launching point for the discussion. I’m not super familiar with a ton of people here since I’m still relatively new, nor do I know all the history here, so idk if they have something against JJK as a whole or not though, but I can only go off of what I see and/or know lol.

As for KGB fans not doing shit against the leaks, it depends on how you define it. Of course there’s now way to stop leaks completely, I was being hyperbolic, but JJK and OP leaks get thousands and thousands of likes and retweets while KGB doesn’t get nearly the same amount (from what I’ve seen anyway). And sure, the popularity of the series plays a part here, so we’ll see if the anime explodes and the KGB leaks get bigger numbers or not when/if that happens, but for now I’d say they quelled it pretty well all things considered and stopped it becoming as big as OP or JJK (or also MHA and even Black Clover) leaks.

And your social media algorithm must be very kind to you, because I see the leaks all the time, hell it’s the main reason I read OP early because if it didn’t, about 80% of the chapter would be spoiled before I even opened the first page on Sunday ffs, lucky you - give me your algorithm

Damn you didn't noticed yet how Monstera has a love/hate relationship with JJK? It's most of her/his comments here

I can't really talk about numbers because i don't really follow Kagurabachi leaks i just know they're regularly posted every week and from a leaker with 100k followers, at least when i post one of the rare color pages or magazine cover it gets easily over 1k like lol

My algorithm is pretty much mostly japanese accounts and the rest is games or fanbase wars which are annoying as f@ck, and some rare american politics tweets, i really don't have chapter leaks at all in my timeline.

Honestly, no, my memory is horrible, I remember everyone here by username ofc, but not enough to know you all in depth in terms of what you like or dislike, unless you're very obvious about it (e.g. Nuesmoker! ), I also don't spend too much time here haha, I'll get there eventually!

From what I've seen KGB leaks get like 1-2k on average. Which is big but compared to JJK and OP, it's nothing really. One of the leaked OP pages I saw had over 10k and a bunch sitting in the 8-7k range too.

I guess the algorithm also depends on stuff you like or retweet yourself? And comment/reply on as well. Since I engage with the OP community a lot whenever I'm on there (which still isn't much in general, but I do spend longer than usual on there when a new chapter comes out), it must see that and go "aha, you like One Piece? Check out all these leaks!", it you like more of a variety of stuff, it'll show you more stuff in general that isn't just from one singular thing. Also most of the leaks honestly come from western accounts more than Japanese accounts.

Well, its OP & JJK, Kgb would never be close to this big, maybe with the anime lol

My tweets appear for you?

 

[shillin65]

I just finished the Suzaku arc in Nue and it was peak
I was a little iffy on the series before it (it's taken me almost 2 years to even make it past chapter 40) but now I'd say I'm pretty much locked into being a fan

 

[KrenKren]

Isn't this a good thing? I am so fucking sick of people leaking stuff with bad cam rips or low quality magazine photos with mistranslations. Those always end up causing so much misinformation and misinterpretation. The whole jjk fandom became extremely toxic becausw vast majority of the fandom never actually read the manga, just tiktok summaries or clips and vehemently considers the meme as facts. The whole fandom need to be nuked.

Nah, I kinda get where you're coming from but I think its crazy some people get to see the episode a whole 9 months early.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Watching a anime 1st episode 9 freaking months before the official broadcast is pratically like watching a leak, even the situation is similar, a "small" group of people that watched/knows about the content but can't show anything or talk too much to the rest of the audience

Btw, Kagurabachi fans didn't really do shit, the series is leaked online every week on Twitter, they just discouraged the JJK leaker in question from doing it.

I disagree a little here. Yeah Kagurabachi leaks exist (they are on 4chan on Thursdays), but you have to actually search for them to see them. In Twitter I think there is only one account who posts the link with the chapter (and these are the leaks that go to 4chan too), and if you don't go searching for it you won't even notice there are leaks, because they aren't retweeted or commented.

With Jujutsu Kaisen the situation was horrible. You entered on Twitter and you couldn't avoid the leaks because everybody was retweeting them and commenting them. This only happens right now to a degree with One Piece. In Kagurabachi situation, the people are actually careful to avoid retweeting or commenting the leaks until Sunday.

Sakamoto Days is in a similar situation. There are leaks posted on Twitter but they are difficult to notice them because they aren't retweeted or commented, but in this situation I don't know if it's because fans are careful too or because a lack of interest in what happens in Sakamoto.

And surprisingly I think Ichi the Witch doesn't actually have leaks? Not sure here.

It also helps that TCB Scans don't take interest in any 2020s series and only care about 00s and 10s, Myamura doesn't take interest in anything that isn't Jujutsu, Jaymes doesn't take interest in anything that isn't Bleach and the One Piece leakers don't take interest in anything that isn't One Piece.

Kagurabachi page leaks are done "exclusively" by Boofywock, so anything that appears on 4ch or other places is taken originally from his posts.

Like i said, JJK was a whole another level because of its huge popularity, not even if Kagurabachi pages run wild and free on Twitter it would ever get half of the attention, maybe with the anime broadcasting.

Sakamoto is just a matter of not getting much engage anymore, the leaks are done just like Kgb every week.

Btw, just a detail, Jaymes doesn't have access to Shonen Jump leaks (or at least early ones, but pretty sure he has none right now) so not even if he wanted he could leak anything besides Bleach unless he wants to pay to leak something exclusively and the part of OP leakers isn't really accurate but i can't say much

Twitter now is a bunch of "Oh it looks like this, and looks like that and yada yada" about the Kagurabachi anime, so they basically just provided free "official" text leaks for everybody

 

[RealityChecker]

I don’t think people should expect something from a 20 minutes episode premiered barely a year before the actual release.

 

[monstera11]

Yeah i know this is digimon, but this is so hilariously close to gonron lol

This 100%. the jjk extreme toxicity basically encourage and DEMAND leak. They are basically so ENTITLED to it to the point they say the only reason the series are popular are the leaks. It is like, the only way 90% of the larpers engage with it. Memes and leaks only.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 4, 2026 ---

And just because I have certain opinion about certain series, that does not automatically negate all my opinions about other matter. Saying that i am just "using this as excuse to hate on jjk" is a strawman argument. I have long has issues with leaks. And i certainly do NOT want to see any bad camrips, whether it is for the Atla movie, Kagurabachi or whatever.

And it is also correct to comment on the negative impacts of leaks to the whole fandom climate. The only reason i talk so much about jjk was only because it was one of the worst and most recent example.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Would be cool if Manga Plus translate the new Digimon manga, it will be on Saikyo but they will probably not

Yeah i know this is digimon, but this is so hilariously close to gonron lol

I'm mostly just joking with you about the JJK thing, not that you don't take any opportunity to talk bad about the manga and fans

 

[Kiaida]

I would say you can just ignore leaks, but it was extremely annoying how often I would be spoiled of things in Jujutsu Kaisen without even looking for leaks and that was always followed up by the dumbest reactions from these fans that followed the series through text leaks and social media. I get why people would rather not have that again.

 

[Pietro]

?

arent they doing preview of 1st episode?
... so i assume you are talking about that

 

[shonenblue]

It's Franz, the first chapter will be published and he will be like "What?"

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 3, 2026, Original Post Date: Jul 3, 2026 ---

Hopefully a longer time, besides Bleach coming back soon i think i'm good with new series for a while, we need to breathe a bit, there is Under Doctor, Roku, Class 2B, Animal Signal and Hal Formula to cheer for and there's also Kinato, DttF & Cannon Master to worry about, Jump is too much of a mess right now.

Is Cannon Master reception already that bad in Japan that you are already lumping it in with two likely axes whereas its batchmates are there to “cheer for”?
