Sh󭤮 JUMP (2009 Talkback)

I think Bakuman and Toriko are replacing I do not know when, some time next year I guess. And Yu Yu Hakusho should be ending in the Deceraber issue as stated by a viz rep at the Comic Con.
 
The only reason YGO still exists as a franchise is because the carRAB keep selling. Right now Everything is on 5D's. There really is no marketing reason to keep GX published in SJ.
 
I remeraber six years ago everyone was declaring Pokemon dead and Yu-Gi-Oh was being crowned the next huge thing.

I bet they feel silly now, eh?
 
There's four chapters left, so it should end in the January 2010 issue. As the above poster said, Bakuman and Toriko will join the magazine sometime next year.


*got my copy today
 
Even though only one volume is released annually, GX still manages to easily make the top 10 manga bestseller lists whenever a volume is released. I'm not sure Viz would want to risk that kind of popularity by taking it out of Shonen Jump. Plus, having a Yu-Gi-Oh! manga in the magazine gives them an excuse to include promo carRAB, which is a major selling point for a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG players. And besides, it only takes up one chapter an issue.

The only way I see GX being booted is by the 5D's manga.
 
I got my issue early and if you are a One Piece fan this is a must get. LoaRAB of great saga updates in it. And we got a ask oda in the issue but this time he was awnsering NA questions which was very cool. From small glance it looks as if all the names are in tact. There was some horrible editing in Naruto this month like tobi saying "Ho,sasuke" when it should obviously be hi.Next issue will have the final chapter(s) of Yu Yu Hakusho.
 
I think the One Piece arc summaries were meant to be spoiler-free, but I think it was badly executed; it doesn't really tell us anything about them.

As for Yu Yu Hakusho, I wonder what will replace it, or if it will just continue with 6 manga series?

Reading Romance Dawn, I noticed that it averts the "Calling Your Attacks" trope when Luffy uses his gomu-gomu/gum-gum powers. I saw "Pistol", "Balloon", "Battle Axe", and I think "Bazooka" (not sure on that one). Oh yeah, I think Silk was clearly the prototype version of Nami.

I saw another offer for a "preview deck" for the "Battle Spirits" card game, but I can't chop up my issue to take advantage of it. I'm really hoping to buy another copy at a bookstore. I'm really interested in this card game, but I beleive it will only be available in hobby stores...

I haven't been reading Naruto in a while, but maybe when Shippuden starts on Disney XD (provided it doesn't put up some kind of "advisory" disclaimer for the show; long story), I'll start reading it again...
 
They are putting Toriko in the magazine in the Febuary 2010 issue and Bakuman in the August 2009 issue(I am sure about Toriko I may have forgoten the date too Bakuman though)
 
Its good that the Yu Yu Hakusho manga is FINALLY coming to an end in the American Shonen Jump magazines. I mean, seriously, it feels like Viz has taken forever to get through the series. I'm really annoyed that a 19-volume series like YYH has still not managed to finish its run in North America when other MUCH longer manga which started getting released around the same time had gotten much better treatment in that they had their volumes released much faster and completed their runs years ago. This includes Dragonball and Dragonball Z (42 volumes together since they were originally just 1 single series, Dragonball, in Japan's Shounen Jump, anyways), Rurouni Kenshin (28 volumes), and other completed series. And what's more annoying is that longer series which aren't even complete in Japan still got released faster than YYH.

But, eh, I guess that I'm getting carried away and going way too off-topic here. Anyways, I never subscribed to Shonen Jump, but I have a friend who gets some of the monthly issues, which is how I got introduced to some pretty good series that I never would have found out about otherwise, such as Hikaru no Go, for example. I think that he might be getting this latest issue soon, so if he does he'll probably let me borrow it so that I can it check out and see its updates on certain other series.
 
Helluva thing, actually; other than One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho is the only manga that's run in American Shonen Jump since the first issue. Well, I suppose you could say Yu-Gi-Oh!, too, what with GX and all, but it's not quite the same.

I'll be sad to see it go. Nuthin' takes me back to the early 2000s like Yu Yu Hakusho...
 
I've decided today to fill in all the gaps of the Dark Tournament and Chapter Black arcs, since I missed out on quite a bit of that series despite watching it all the time on Cartoon Network. I don't know how that's possible either.
 
Most of the latter half of the series aired in one of the most unholy slots CN had to offer at the time (5:30 on a Saturday morning...), so you would've had to have been crazy to have caught those.

Sadly, most of us were that crazy.

(I still hold a grudge against the City Era's announcer for the way she ruined the final episode...)
 
Gah, I was still in school back then so it was a-wait-for-the-DVRAB for me.


The talkbacks must have been fun, though.

"Hey, what'chu having for breakfa--OH DEAR GOD, YUUSUKE'S DEAD!!"

"It's too early to eat...holy crap, Chris Sabat's emoting as Kuwabara!!!"
