a battle not staring the lead characters is not something i view as putting heroAca on my list of iconic jump manga. sorry

And today is an important day. The day that Hero Academia ultimately entered in the group of iconic Jump manga, at the height of some other titles like Hokuto no Ken or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Yeeaah no.

 

[Soralied]

Don't you know that for a shonen battle anime to be considered iconic, it must have a fight that's at least 3 episodes long, must contain your main protagonist, each fighter must use at least 5 special moves, 2 super special moves, and unveil 1 new ultimate super special move, your protagonist must give at least one speech somewhere in the fight, must contain at least one transformation sequence, and you have to climax from watching the fight at least once? Come on, this is common knowledge.

You know the rules Mankichi you can't say anything positive about Heroaca here or else people get triggered by it.

Spoiler

The new Hinomaru Zumou, Act Age crossover looking good huh?

Obviously not with the act-age bit, but yes.

Dang, that would've been a really funny reference lol

Jaimini has released Jujutsu chapters 8-12

[Nemesis]

This one is for July?

What are you talking about??? June volumes' cover are all ready out?

For volume in July 4th they still have 3 weeks left, most likely they will be release in June 25th onward

Seriously? This month it's just 5 volumes? lol That makes sense then

Jaimini has released Jujutsu chapters 8-12

So which of these chapters exactly was the one that really boosted Jujutsu's popularity, and how exactly is it different from the earlier ones?

Also, does anyone know where I can find the oneshots for the 2 upcoming new series online?

I think it was chapter 8.

For the moment, there are being lot of little stuff for future chapters:
-MC training
-Mask guy vs that monster (I hope he doesn't die. Well, he carried MC with him)
-Supposed pact between MC and his hollow
-A school tournament between Tokyo and Kyoto schools
-There is a 2nd second year who is overseas, and the 3rd years to show

PD: And it still hasn't got its own thread in this forum :c

Part 5 please.

 

[shoyoboyo]

It's still too early for a Jujutsu Kaisen forum. It hasn't even reached 20 chapters yet.

But I meant thread. Even Noah's Notes has one.

I'll make one.

Speaking of Noah's Notes, I'm still not sure what type of series the author wants it to be. I initially thought it'd be more of a comedic adventure kind of like Dr. Stone with maybe some light romance moments thrown in due to the gyaru. However, the last handful of chapters have all been pretty serious and are basically a fight/battle scenes (but maintains the adventuring). I wish it'd turn down the seriousness and become more lighthearted and comedic.

Act-Age's most recent chapter, on the other hand, was incredibly good. It ended on a perfect note for there to be a really awesome color page next week. The reaction to Invade You seems to be a bit lukewarm from what I can gather. Even people who like it seem to be skeptical that it'll last in the medium-term. It has been cute so far, but I'm not sure how it'll translate into sales.

But today is neither the release day of the magazine nor the release day of the tankobon volume?

I can assure what is Iconic for me is certainly not Iconic for you.
