Naruto actually (for some reason) remained popular with Japanese readers right to the end, though. Bleach has been on life support for years.

>>93146
Good Riddance.

With how harsh things have been in Hero Academia, Chapter 98 was nice and relaxing.

>>93177
It's not by Kishimoto. Here's the artist http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mikio_Ikemoto

Tsuyu ;_;

>>93178
I know, but how can someone be so much worse? Why would they have someone so terrible work on one of their big money franchises?

>>93180

I think he was one of Kishimoto's assistants.

>>93180
If the artist was any good they wouldn't be doing a spin off series.

Curious: when is the final chapter of Bleach slated to run in SJ—if it hasn’t already run?

>>93211
How long do you guys think it'll be until he wrecks his legs too?

>>93212
Not going to? His problem was he was trying to ape All Might identically when he wasn't physically capable of doing so, he subconsciously felt like he had to due to being the heir to OFA. Now he's moving at his pace in a different style instead of (literally) punching outside his weight class, and the additions to the arms and legs of his costume will further reduce the recoil meaning less strain on his limbs

New series The Promised Neverland is pretty dark for Jump.

>>93229

Hah.

So apparently the bleach ending is going to be literally Naruto's but worse?

In the everyone has kids and all the shippers complain their ships are no longer canon?

>Issue #2 of Jump GIGA previews the new My Hero Academia Illegals spinoff focusing on Vigilantes in the My Hero Academia universe.

Do you think Jackie Diaz is going to make another comic for this?

Ichigo may have died long ago, but we'll always have our fondest memIF YOU WANNA SEE SOME ACTION

>>93311

NOW YOU FEEL LIKE NUMBER OOOOOOOOOOONE

>>93311
>>93319

fuck me if that song won't always hold a nice place in my heart.

>>93311
>>93319

I have always hated that fucking song. The only time it wasn't complete dogshit was when Aizen interrupted it.

>>93326
Yeah you've been wrong for years

>>93326

DudeWithMoney? More like DudeWithoutTaste.

>>93341
Mag Mortan Joe.

>>93342
Apparently those three characters appearing in the game are an early cameo since they are going to appear in the manga proper as well.

>>93341

>the guy on the right

What’s wrong with your faaaaaaaaaaaaace

And so with the Basement finally entered, I am proud to confirm that Attack on Titan continues to suck, as it has from chapter 1.

>>93346

I can't believe after all the buildup to the fucking basement, that Isayama went with literally the DUMBEST possible thing to find in there.

Having never bothered to read or watch Attack on Titan, what exactly is so bad about it? I only know anything second hand from the insufferable Homestuck/Undertale-tier fanase.

AoT is super popular and all, but it's not a Shonen Jump series.

>>93349
So what is in there

>>93348
And yet it's exactly what I thought for years. Not the item itself but the info. Because AoT is and always has been shitty.
>>93351
A straight up photograph. On the back is a note from Dad explaining that AoT is The Village.

>>93352

Wait seriously? I don’t anything about AoT beyond the animu, someone explain this shitty-ass twist in full plz.

>>93353
We don't know the details, but the basement contains, among other things, a photo (tech the civilization inside the walls doesn't have). The photo is of Grisha and his old family, explaining that he's from somewhere beyond the Walls where people live in luxury, and that humanity outside the walls isn't extinct at all. In a presumably distinct sense from the Titan Shifter hometown of Annie, Bertolt, Reinhard, and Zeke.

Well, Annie, Bertolt, and Zeke anyway. Eren fed Bertie to Armin, which was pretty funny.

I have a feeling the Walls and the Outside are gonna turn out to be some sort of Mikado-Tokyo type deal from SMTIV.

>New MHA chapter
JESUS CHRIST! The hell is wrong with all the kids from nazi-uniform school?!

>>93357

>nazi-uniform school

Well, there’s your first clue…

>>93359
Not much different, except for Uravity scoring somewhat lower because she went from cheery and full of energy to full damsel mode.

>>93360
Hardly, just because she's struggling to work out how she really feels about Deku doesn't make her a 'damsel'.

>>93361
All her scenes since then have revolved around Deku. Even her single action scene was about how much she's in love.

First Vigilantes chapter is out

>>93430
I am loving One Piece lately. Luffy eating Cracker and his army is goddamn hilarious.

That BnHA twist was pretty good.

>>93511
Still looks better than Bort's actual art.

>>93525

>>93397
As of the second chapter that is confirmed.

Glad the series isn't ending with the mag its in, will be continued in a different one.

Brooke being the one to safe the day just makes me so giddy with joy. Also this whole damn arc has been pretty amazing so far.

>>93573
This and Zou has definitely been high points. I was cautious about Big Mom, but she sure is showing off what a Yonkou looks like: the Strawhats are COMPLETELY out of their league without jobbing at all.

>>93593

>>93652
Damm I didn't even know the chapter was out, haven't been on /a/ recently.

>>93652
>>93656
Is the blond guy from Riverdale?

>>93658
Looks like Tintin's Japanese son to me.

>>93656

That is an excellent edit job.

Apparently there's a second Hero Academia OVA coming out as a bonus alongside the new volume?

Not seen the previous one yet, has anyone else?

>>93693
That's a cool cover but Deku looks kinda derpy.

>>93694
So then entirely in character?

Why is the current One Piece arc SO GOOD? I had honestly kinda lost hope for post-timeskip arcs, since both Fishman Island and Dressrosa were so thoroughly meh. But Big Mom Arc is honestly up there with the big ones so far.

How many MHA OVA's are there now? Two or three?

I want to see them

>>93834
The first episode felt kind of slow, but the next two were great. Really looking forward to the rest of the season.

>>93880
this thing is like every bad scifi "LET'S SCIENCE THIS BITCH" story ever just with crazy art

I'm down

Well, it seems now we know what Blackbeard did to Whitebeard under that tarp.

>>93882
Oh?

>>93885
Its been obvious for awhile now, like someones brother being seen up and about.

But wait, is that Midnight? Didn't even recognize her in that getup.

>>93887
You do know she used to run around with her tits out before they forced her to wear a sheer body stocking, right?

>>93882
>>93883
the question is now is it just in there? or do you have to eat a specific part or what?

BONES is doing such an amazing job with Hero Academia.

>>93893
I see what you're getting at, but it doesn't really explain how he got 2 fruits. Also since he did it with dead Whitebeard, it's likely he just had a spare fruit of the right type. He did come prepared.

Every time Hunter X Hunter comes back I realize that I've completely forgotten what had even happened in the previous chapters. This ain't no way to read a manga, I tell you.

Man, people get fucking HEATED over wether Vigilantes is canon or not.

>>93908
/a/ is filled with shitposters, especially for popular series.

I know it's terrible, since the well-being of a little girl is at stake here, but I kinda want Twice to win.

>>93957
>Disregard that shit, I love little girls being in danger, but I hope Twice gets utterly fucked up.

The new hero academia raws are out and the chapter looks pretty great.

Though the one guy that spams the threads on /a/ seems to by having some sort of psychotic breakdown over it, who wastes that much time shitposting so blatantly?

>>93988

>who wastes that much time shitposting so blatantly?

Everyone on 4chan.

Its so weird that the OP of this thread is talking about Bleach coming to an end.

>>417250
This board is…slow, yes.

>>93989
You've got that right, the entire website has gone down the tubes.

>>417281
He is fageh.

>>417283
The spinoff Vigilantes manga is pretty good too.

Shonen movies are pretty bullshit.

The new MHA one has the MC somehow share OFA with his rival in a complete bullshit series-destroying fashion just to have a flashy over the top battle against the lame movie antagonist.

These things are just an excuse to have dumber more explosive fight scenes, fodder for fantard pandering and powerlevel babies

>>417340
Sure looked hella cool though. And that fucking music man. Hnngh.

I keep hearing that it was based on the original ending Kishimoto had for the series, and I can't help but wonder what that would have looked like. I know this is the shounen thread but I've always preferred self-contained stories with a planned ending over long-running series that go on and on.

>>417345
It would have been pretty terrible, the amount of Bakugou shilling in the series is already pretty bad.

I don't hate him personally like other do, and appreciate the slow character growth he's been displaying across the manga where he's been acknowledging in his headstrong way small changes in his behavior to be more of an actual hero rather than just a villain-fighter.
I can also appreciate him being able to keep up with or beat the MC as much as he has currently because when Deku actually masters OFA it will be All-Might & Endeavour all over again in terms of capability between the two, its sensible to draw things out and not render the (somewhat hamfisted) rival character impotent too soon into the story.
But the way he gets his dick sucked (most notably) in movies and anime specials is atrocious.

If the series ended in Deku handing the power over to Baron Von Explodokill that would be the worst, especially when there's peers so much more heroic in nature he could transfer it to

~As for the movie in question beyond the nonsensical power-sharing it was pretty terrible; alot of anime movie cliches like an awful crammed-in overpowered 'Movie Antagonist' with ridiculous powerset (which even extended to his furry henchman that was a chimera monster that could basically use any animal power and also breathe fire for some reason), annoying little kid original characters being primary to the movie plot...
The previous film was a much more natural addition to the series as a whole which actually felt like it fit and expanded on characters rather than just being shallow movie for the sake of movie churned out as a matter of course for #insert current popular fighting anime#.

Speaking of Hero Aca

ヒロアカ「Hero too」ミュージックビデオ(MV)／雄英高校ヒーロー科1年A組／『僕のヒーローアカデミア』4期文化祭編／MY HEROACADEMIA

>>417383
Yes.

>>417533
Anime merch is the epitome of milking a franchise

You could say that applies to Super as a whole, its even worse than GT.

>>93146
So... is the Bleach sequel that rips off Harry Potter any good?

>>94083
>>417580
It was obvious from early on but the payoff was pretty good, just ended the #1 hero's whole career while breaking his spirit.

Apparently Kishimoto has taken over the writing of Boruto now?

Doesn't really matter too much, not like it was good beforehand.

>>417807
I thought that was a digimon.

>>93146
what are some actually good kids fightin manga that are currently running at the moment?

>>417972
uuuuuuh I only know of Dragon Ball.

>>417973
Dragon Ball Super is complete and utter rubbish though.

>>417972
Mashle Magic & Muscles is pretty good.

Its more parody than staight-up shonen though.

>>418008
The obvious comparison would be to One Punch Man but I feel this has more heart than that take on things since the dopey MC actually has a reason to personally care about events even if he dominates most challenges he encounters in a jokey fashion with pure strength.
Also the setting is more fun in that it riffs on something garbage like that of Harry Potter where we've honestly all wanted to see those kind of retarded magic cunts get fucking twatted in the face by someone without spells.

The pacing is another plus, its not drawing things out with a ton of dumb filler and actually sailing along at a good pace.

I liked Hero Academia Vigilantes but now its getting pretty insufferable.
The MC who was a loser college student that specifically wasn't supposed to be a big superhero like the characters in the main manga is now pulling endless new powers for his quirk out of his nowhere as he fights the main villain of the spinoff who is revealing more and more bullshit and ridiculous powers from his mutant body.

Its like they are both just doing this to drag the story out longer and longer instead of letting it reach a conclusion, making it the worst kind of cliche and boring.

>>417727
This is pretty funny now that naruto and friends have made it into fortnite like basically every other normie popular franchise

Actually looks pretty cool, the characters with their various superpowers infact do play differently.

>>418335
Turns out Piccolo's new super form is turning yellow and losing wrinkles.

Still won't be allowed to be as good as Goku and Vegeta's powerups.

>>418336
Yeah but at least he got a powerup. He's the best character in DBZ and keeps getting shafted. Only time he ever shined was in filler episodes.

>>418337
With the introduction of "God Ki" bullshit people like Piccolo and Tien should simply have been brought up to equal level with the saiyans just ny giving them all access to it and using the thing as an excuse to squash the powerlevel creep that had been happening throughout the long-running franchise.
