I wanna see Toriko and his third oni in this damn game

 

[Serinox]

You guys think Kinetsu No Yaiba characters will show up in Jump Force

Nah, they are appealing to Westerners and Kimetsu is way too unknown in the West for that. Hell, it might even be too unknown in Japan to be part of the game.

Not really

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I want some classic stuff. Give me Seiya, give me Suguru, and give me Kenshiro.

I felt like Blackbeard might of been too obscure a One Piece character for westerners

 

[xAsum0x]

Didnt they say they want the game to be realistic and serious? If so then there's definitely no gag characters. Next series will either be YYH, Fist of the North Star, or MHA

Sora from Galaxy Gangs when?

 

[TyVip]

Akainu and Madara will be announce next. Also, there is likely they will include some new current series in Jump like J-star, maybe not playable but definitely a support.

On August 25th, pretty much every TV station airs a special program 24 hour charity program, under the banner of "24h TV - Love Saves The Earth", something that has been going on since 1978 on the last August Saturday. Most of the regular programs just don't air that (for example, the Conan anime which airs after MHA takes a complete break on August 25th), but it appears MHA instead will do a special episode that ties into the charity program - and its movie, apparantly.

A little correction. The one on the 25th is specifically for NTV/ytv; the channel Heroaca is broadcasted on. Fuji tv does its own version, 27hr TV in september and the other stations, do their versions sometime later. TV Tokyo is the only one that currently doesn't have such a tradition anymore. These long programs, especially NTV's program get huge ratings so its the best time for more promotion in general. Last year, Heroaca took a break and Conan moved up a half hour but this year it might be a 1 hr special or Conan will take a break or some mix.

Nah. Here in Italy Teach is very popular.

Yeah pretty sure everyone who knows One Piece knows who Blackbeard is. Hes the main antagonist

 

[MangAniMY]

I kept saying I'm taking a break but the chart keep on coming.... (Last one for now, I swear)


Made a poll on twitter people wanted Black clover here is Black Clover

BalckBeard makes more sense than Akainu at this point tbh.
Also, what YonkouProd said is wrong. The new stage is not New York. It is planet Namek with the statue of liberty showing up in there.
That is pretty big because it means (and they've explained it in the V-Jump scans) that the stages are not only gonna be real life stages with some jump elements mixed in, it's also gonna be stages from the Jump world with some elements from the real world mixed into them.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Suikyuu don burako, ran between Jump GIGA 2018 WINTER vol.1 to Jump GIGA 2018 WINTER vol.3

That looks pretty schway. I wish Giga still did volume releases, but they sell worse than Sunday. KK as volume would be great.

 

[savethecat]

I don’t think he’s an internationally popular villains like Freeza or Aizen.
And most OP fans I know have different ideas on who’s the best villain

 

[iceemperor]

I didn't post it earlier because there was a possibility of it being fake and because the ranking is quite different from POS but another one hasn't been posted yet and the totals seem correct. The difference in the Heroaca volumes might also be due to more stores.

10801 1069851 Heroaca 5

On POS, volume 17 was higher up than some of the volumes here so it seemed off but its totally possible considering a difference in stores.

So you see MHA surpassing Haikyuu sales next volume?

 

[Franz]

For me is only matter of time.

 

[iceemperor]

So you see MHA surpassing Haikyuu sales next volume?

I see Heroaca volume 18 surpassing Haikyuu 32 next week based on the POS daily rankings. Also interestingly enough, the movie ticket admissions are following a pattern similar to volume sales. First 3 days it did 400k. By the end of the following weekend, it was past 739k. Its already passed 900k as of the 16th so it should pass 1 million by the beginning of next week. This is quite similar to some series' volume sales.

│477485 (3)│*728167│*819134│*865164│*895639┃1,002,275 (122)┃2018/02｜HUNTER×HUNTER 35

Obviously I'm not saying its comparable to HxH right now but you can see the overall trend here. I don't expect the next volume to suddenly do 800k but I do think it can get up there. Previously I thought it'd be hard to get the million as Heroaca has never even done 600-700k. It just got to 600k in 6 weeks. This could simply be the movie effect as well but the chance is still there. For the first 3 days of this week, around 17 of 19 volumes came into the top 100, boosted by both the movie and Obon festival.

You mean they're appealing to just the U.S?

Really hoping shokugeki can pull itself out of the bottom 5. Id hate to see it cancled or at least maybe they would move it to jump plus or something. I feel the story could finish soon but theres still alot to tie up it go another 50 chaps easy if not more

It looks like most fans just want the arc/series to end at this point...at least in the west. Not sure how the Japanese feel about it.

 

[Franz]

Hero currently sells almost as much as HQ, it is these has dropped slightly.

For me it is not long before it is exceeded.
