So, in this week chapter of Yozakura,
a timeskip of 5 years is happening
Full adaptation then.So, in this week chapter of Yozakura,

I wouldn't say that makes it more or less likely (unless said time skip means its ending very soon). For example the time skip is happening 15 chapters short of Assassination Classroom's end which took 47 episodes to adapt (I believe it skipped some of the slice of life stuff like people are expecting Yozakura to do) and since Yozakura is very unlikely to get almost a year straight broadcast it would either require skipping a lot or do two 24 episode seasons which they would probably only do if the first is successful.Full adaptation then.
Along with everything that was said, I want to preface by saying I'm a fan of F100, so my counterargument may be a bit biased. But in terms of your question in relation to that series:i Know this is a random question, but I’ve been noticing with newer series on jump seem like they distant themselves from being mature/dark atm. As if they can’t pull the hard punches to really show a series is different. Fabricant 100 for instance to me should be a lot darker than it is. Making each Fabricant super disturbing with grotesque abilities along with the main protagonist to be deeply disturbed than he actually is. I mean he saw his whole family be but he red alive right in front of him, leaving him to only watch in horror. His psyche should be so f-d. But, it’s like it’s not a big deal. We don’t see him deeply want revenge or have such a rooted hatred for fabricants. It’s like a good set up for a anti hero character but he is soo boring. The way he explored this whole dilemma he looks so disinterested in everything. It’s maybe just me or some of these new series aren’t able to go to it’s fill potential because it may be too mature. Is it like that or am I just overthinking it?
Ok good point, I’m just saying that it looks like series such as Death Note, Chainsaw Man, Bastard, and even Promised Neverland can’t seem to run on normal jump anymore. Is this due to a new envoirment culture with editors or jump in general? Because Jump Plus can run mature stories that makes some series even better.Along with everything that was said, I want to preface by saying I'm a fan of F100, so my counterargument may be a bit biased. But in terms of your question in relation to that series:
I don't think each Fabricant being grotesque is really the point. They're supposed to be sorta the next generation or the ideal human being. If they were nothing like humanity it would kinda defeat that purpose. Not to mention, many of them kinda blend in with society. Sure, the stiches give it away but from a distance they look just like a regular human which is really disturbing once you realize they can probably kill you once they see you. As for Ashibi not being as distrubed himself, it goes both ways. Yes, he could be a bit more disturbed but also as Shinuki pointed out, that trope gets old fast. He's also a kid which I think lends itself for him being more aloof and less messed up. The latest chapters show that he does get anxiety and trauma from being reminded of his past but imo, he kinda removes himself from it to not feel anything about it, but I don't necessarily disagree with that point. Also, gotta remember that this whole series is ABOUT his revenge. We don't need to be reminded every week that he's angry at the fabricants. It's very much implied with him literally giving his body up to 100 that he's willing to risk it all to kill every fabricant.
As for Jump in general, it's a hard question. I've put on record that I started reading weekly during the Red Hood serialization round in 2021. Since then, I don't think there's really been a series that is as dark as you've been claiming from a premise standpoint, with the closest probably being F100. The rest were either not related to that at all or used it more as a device rather than a core theme. As for F100, while it lends itself to being darker, as I kinda indicated above, imo, it more uses it for stylistic elements rather than an integral narrative device. That's why there are episodes that are more set pieces. It isn't like TPN, where its dark nature is literally an integral part of what the series identity is. If we never saw people die on screen or blood was censored from F100 in a HUGE censorship push, it doesn't impact the storytelling. It impacts the emphasis it has on the audience, but it doesn't impact the story. In general, what I'm saying is, F100 uses its horror more as a tease rather than as a device. Whether that was Enoshima's original plan or not? Idk. But at least in this forum, it hasn't impacted his way of telling the story too much. And as I've said before, no other serialization has gotten closer to a "dark" tone than F100 (maybe Super Smartphone but that's a stretch)
It's prob a combination of both, at least imo. Yes Jump+ can be more mature, there's a reason why Ayakashi moved there after all. But, tbf, you also mentioned 4 series that, for the most part, are also widely spread out time wise. Just goes to show that Jump doesn't necessarily serialize a whole bunch and when they do, it's not too often. Meaning, there could be a darker toned series in the near future, we just won't see it happen every year or even until a few years between serializationsOk good point, I’m just saying that it looks like series such as Death Note, Chainsaw Man, Bastard, and even Promised Neverland can’t seem to run on normal jump anymore.

There's a good decades long gap inbeween most of those you listed. It's not that they can't run per say, but rather probably the author second guessing in thinking it may not be a fit for Jump. More gung-ho authors just push for it and sooner or later it goes in the "yes" pile.Ok good point, I’m just saying that it looks like series such as Death Note, Chainsaw Man, Bastard, and even Promised Neverland can’t seem to run on normal jump anymore.

Pretty obvious it was going to happen in 1/3 chapters, excited to see how they're looking.So, in this week chapter of Yozakura,
a timeskip of 5 years is happening
Very doubtful that Silver Link is going to adapt almost 200 chapters in 1 season even if is 24 episodesFull adaptation then.

Fabricant 100 was never about a dark and brooding anti-hero, even when it won GFC. It nothing to do with the culture or the editors, and has everything to do with the author.Ok good point, I’m just saying that it looks like series such as Death Note, Chainsaw Man, Bastard, and even Promised Neverland can’t seem to run on normal jump anymore.

I wonder if that means Cipher is safe for at least one more batch? At the very least, they need something to axe next time.Very doubtful that Silver Link is going to adapt almost 200 chapters in 1 season even if is 24 episodes

Btw, spoilers of TDBS, G&G and Ichigoki were posted, and welp, Ichigoki is totally ending, they just graduated from school.
I don't think Cipher Academy ever had any chance of ending this round.I wonder if that means Cipher is safe for at least one more batch? At the very least, they need something to axe next time.
I wasnt trying to assume anything, it was more trying to figure out what my personal confusion was with the future of these new series. To see if it was only me who thought of the idea to see if Jump forces series to dye down mature tones due to some in office pattern of sorts. So, I’m glad that you those here have proved me wrong. I guess it’s just me, I'm just looking forward to a series that’s willing to take a risk and not play safe.Jump doesn't get much darker than Chainsaw Man, especially at the start.

It appears that Fabricant 100 wants to appeal to a mainstream battle series audience (OP, MHA, the like), which is younger and therefore less violent by nature. With so many on their way out, that may (or may not) be the best strategy for Fabricant 100 to survive. But there is plenty of opportunity for it to become darker later on if the author chooses to do so.
There is no evidence that "newer series on jump seem like they distant themselves from being mature/dark atm". I don't think you can or should extrapolate your feelings about that specific series to the entirety of Jump.

Yes, but that is true of most new series. There are rarely more than 2 successes out of 12-15 serializations per year.I think we can all agree that most of these new series are not all that cracked up to be. Demon Bride, GG, and others haven’t really marked it’s own identity to take on becoming a longer member of Shonen Jump.
I understand where you're coming from, but Fabricant 100 was in the same batch as Ichinose. And while Ichinose is no Death Note, it is also true that the father committed suicide with his family in the car and the mother was fully planning to kill a child in a recent chapter. In terms of recent newbies, AA had a fairly dark moment when the villain burned a woman and three alien refugees alive. And its not like stuff like MHA, JJK, UU, or Sakamoto have gotten less dark with time.I wasnt trying to assume anything, it was more trying to figure out what my personal confusion was with the future of these new series.

I suppose this is the best they could do without touching original storyline. However those novels arent written by Sorachi and mostly comedy spins from what I get. People are excited now but might end up being disappointed.Gintama light novel series "3 Nen Z Gumi Ginpachi Sensei" will have a anime adaptation
That's a great visual and the staff definitely has my interest
