I'm hoping that after this round, we finally have a GFC winner make their debut in the magazine, it would be a waste to finally start it up again only to do nothing for the participants.
I feel like we might get a 2-3 series batch that looks something like these if it's true:
- A 2-series batch with the first series being from an unserialized GFC winner & the second is from a unserialized participant from a past GFC
- A 3-series batch with the first series being from an axed GFC winner/participant, the second being from an unserialized GFC winner & the third is from an unserialized participant from a past GFC
- A 3-series batch with the first series being from an unserialized GFC winner & the next 2 series being from some unserialized participants from a past GFC
- The GFC winner that is getting serialized will be Tabigoro Kuji, the 2023 winner
My predictions regarding the next batch's contents

Well, for the next covers, I think we will get the anniversaries + an OP cover like usual between 44 - 48, then in #49 I believe in the Nue anime (it would be on chapter 167 btw), then maybe in #50 a last cover for Sakamoto and new series for #51, #52 & #53, with GFC spot, SD spot & Cannon Master spot! Seems pretty credible, let's see how it goes.

The thing is that Jump hates doing things the way it should be done.

Bruh, I'm dead 💀

Actually, he's right (not right now, but in the past), I remember that when Kiyoshi's anniversary cover (the first one) was announced, the fans of Nue's Exorcist were the most upset (But I have to say that they're not like that anymore)

They were salty about nue not getting a second anni cover so they vented their frustrations at what they perceived to be a less prominent series getting an anni cover. Misplaced anger when the editors could have given any of the preceding covers to nue. Kiyoshi has a tendency of being blamed for random jump woes.

In my defense, I wasn't blaming Kiyoshi, I was blaming Sakamoto's completely unnecessary cover the issue after 2nd anni. Kind like I'm complaining about Sakamoto's completely unnecessary LCP for this issue- Deja vu!

My ranking of issue #41 2026

1st - Cannon Master #11
2nd - Hunter X Hunter #420
3rd - Under Doctor #31
4th - Graykeith: Translator Daemonica #1
5th - The Ura Files #2
6th - Nue's Exorcist #160
7th - Ichi the Witch #97
8th - Someone Hertz #48
9th - Roku's House of Oddities #21
10th - Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz #19
11th - Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi #107
12th - Kagurabachi #131
13th - Hal Formula #12
14th - Animal Signal #13
15th - Shinobi Undercover #96

Such a great issue! Cannon Master is phenomenal, I hope Machida can have a hit next time... Perfect chapter to conclude this HxH batch too! I'm very happy with the new series, too! Graykeith is so fun (as a character too) and Ura Files is cute! Shun Numa is my goat.
My only underwhelming chapter this week was Shinobi, still good but kinda eh.

It's not like batches are that far apart from each other anyways

This one might have a reason, if the series is indeed ending very soon.

Though they usually do that for the penultimate chapter, and I find it hard to believe Sakamoto would be ending next week... Maybe they want to get it out of the way for the birthday covers?

Sakamoto Days is their #2 series right now and the only one besides One Piece with any real mainstream knowledge of it, of course it's going to get a bunch of random covers.

Nah, saying that on Twitter as a Kiyoshi fan is wild since the series is also treated pretty unfairly there and definitely not by Nue fans :grin

The manga is literally a bunch of scribbles for several weeks. It IS stupid to keep giving it random LCPs, even more when it's not even the cover, and Nue is poorly treated when the other middle tier series are treated better than it, even the ones that sell less. Roku just got a color page that the author probably wasn't even prepared to do, it's black and white. lol
