It literally just had the stage announced lol, why are we acting like this is a big deal?

CAUSE WE LOVE NUE STOP BEING A PARTY POOPER

 

[icrawfish]

Nue fans are constantly living as starved beasts so any further confirmation of news, small though it may be, is like a 5 course meal for them.

I would say I think it’s more likely for Kagurabachi’s anniversary to be delayed over Shinobi’s, since they’re usually more lenient with the timeframe for the bigger series compared to the more average-sized ones. With that in mind I expect issue 46 to be Shinobi and then Nue could perhaps be 47 with Kagurabachi at 48 to give Hokazono the maximum time to not be dead.

Torishima created V-Jump because he always liked video games more than manga, he openly says this. Dragon Quest's creation had his hand all over the project and video game articles got popular in japanese shonen magazines because he had regular reports of the game's development and associated it with Akira Toriyama, the most popular mangaka of the late 80s-early 90s. V-Jump was a magazine that could have both games and manga together as the two biggest youth cultures at the time.

Thank you for giving me more information about that.

 

[shonenblue]

I personally fell off Nue a long time ago but so excited for all yall on here! After all the color page snubs, glad to see the anime announcement incoming!

Hope us Kiyoshi fans gets one soon as well, though I imagine we’ll be waiting a bit longer for that one lol

 

[Shonenfan]

Super excited for this coming chapter of Kiyoshi. Hopefully rukihara isn’t the final villain as I want the series to be long but I’m hoping for a CSM darkness devil type entrance and existential dread

 

[FantasticFootno]

He's pretty blatantly set up to be the final villain, but hopefully this doesn't play out like asuta roth encounter. If it does, we have under a year left of the story now. Otherwise, I'm just hoping we have another (10-12 chapter), transitionary arc or two, before starting up that final war arc.
I'm not too hopeful tho, because I also wanted the demon world stuff to not immediately jump into a battle with its great demon lord, and it did just that. So I have to imagine this will be the arc before the final arc unfortunately.
I'm pretty confident we'll blow past chapter 150 to end the series around chapter 155-160, but I could hope for a world where we end around 200. Maybe the final arc will be Kiyoshi's Infinity Castle arc, and we'll have extended fights for each of the cross paladins + random exorcists + a lengthy Solomon flashback XD.

 

[needtorelax]

Btw, Nue is 100% getting the Cover & LCP for Issue 47. (unless it is getting a color page for the announcement lmao)

Chojo(anime announced after the manga ended)
Kill Blue(final chapter. Practically no one ever gets the privilege of getting the cover with their final chap)
Yoza fam(maybe the announcement was too close to the 3rd anni cover?)
Ruri(long hiatus and moved to jump+)
If anyone has any other examples of no covers going further back feel free to add


Those are the only ones I remember that couldn't get a cover for their anime announcement in the last few years and they all had their circumstances. If it really doesn't get a cover maybe there's some merit to editorial trying to sabotage the series like nue fanboys claim lol.

 

[Bulju]

Look at the poor Nue fans thinking they'll get a cover for something as small as an anime announcement. You guys will get a small write-up on page 74 and you better thank daddy Shueisha for it. Shinobi's gotta get the cover, after all.

NUE ANIME IN THE WORKS.

Like i posted on Twitter right now

FUCK YEAAAAHHHH FINALLY!!!!!

Sugoi is late on this one

Btw, so good to see Sugoi tweet, i dreamed abou this since Kill Blue leak announcement, so is like the cherry at the top, or maybe the cherry will be the preview page with the cover & lead color, if happens, i'm not sure with Saito, at all lmao!

I mean the text for this Nue promo says "Currently in active development!! / In the works" " More information on Monday, October 19" and SugoiLite doesn't leak Jump manga that far into the future. The announcement is for sure coming in Issue 47. I can see them pushing Bachi's cover to Issue 48 with how Hokazono is doing and how Bachi has overall been doing in the mag lately.
Edit: Now I was able to post this lol

Ohhh that's a important find, digging i also found that Ichi got the same ad saying the same thing about updates for "Original merchandise" on October 5 which is the date of Issue #45 where is getting the cover & lead cp:

So that really gives the impression that Nue will be getting the cover on #47 or at least the announcement there, fingers crossed for a cover & lead

It literally just had the stage announced lol, why are we acting like this is a big deal?

Well, because SugoiLite is basically the confirmation before the confirmation, and honestly, i think all Nue fans were dreaming about seeing Sugoi finally "leak" the Nue anime, at this point is like a classic thing already

 

[Kiaida]

No please...Kiyoshi, Shinobigoto,..they need to get anime all of them before ending sighhh

They'll all get it, they're both long runners. Nowadays if you get over 100 chapters it's basically a lock, they're also stable selling series that rank well at the TOC, gets covers, etc. I would say we'll likely see the announcement for Ichi followed by Kiyoshi and then Shinobi in 2027.

I also have a hard time thinking Kiyoshi is entering its final arc because I swear people say this about every single Kiyoshi arc. lol In fact nowadays it feels like any kind of more dramatic development in a manga people start saying "it's ending". People did that for every single arc in Undead Unluck and Nue as well.

 

[monstera11]

So, any realistic guess on the studio? (NOT what you want it to be. Ofc everyone want ufotable, kyo ani or MAPPA. Genuinely I think those 3 are off the table due ro scheduling. Ufotable has not even started on that genshin anime and they still have not finished KnY, not kyoani for obvious reason, MAPPA overloaded)

Eh the main thing here is that this demon lord has been built up a bit, and he clearly has been set up to be the final boss of the series for quite some time (Killed his parents + Sosuke's mother + Sasaki was there to stop it). Plus Kiyoshi has already achieved his goal that was set up in the exam arc, so its hard to see us having another arc after this. I was hopeful that there'd be a bit of a gap or some other conflict before the characters had to face him, but the last 10 chapters or so are setting up his revival, so seemingly they're going to fight him soon. Kiyoshi is many things, but it is always pretty fast.

 

[shillin65]

Just realized that Roboco will be the first Jump series to hit 300 chapters since Black Clover

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!!

Jump is unpredictable sometimes, i love it

 

[cameronney618]

Is Shihei Lin japanese or chinese? I've heard animators with chinese names that somehow ended up being japanese.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

As expected, Shinobi Undercover will have the cover & lead cp for anniversary!

I want passione for Nue
