Shonen Jump went into a bit of a decline after Jujutsukaisen and My Hero Academia ended. The two helped Shonen Jump reach new levels and become even more popular.
both J.J.K. And My Hero Academia has sold over 100 million copies, a feat that only a handful of other comics have achieved. So Shueisha is looking for new comics to fill the void. One of the comics expected to be a potential replacement is Kagurabachi.
Shonen Jump has officially discovered its new Big Three.
Following One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach, it's time to welcome the new Weekly Shonen Jump Big 3.
Shonen Jump is teasing the Kagurabachi anime.
On April 10th, Shonen Jump shared a new teaser visual featuring five unique items.
-
hawk
-
bullet
-
grimoire
-
goldfish
-
ring necklace
Each object represents a specific animation. For example, the Grimoire is from Black Clover and the ring necklace is likely from Yuta Okkotsu, a character from Jujutsu Kaisen. Likewise, Kagurabachi's goldfish.
It's already been confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen and Black Clover will return in new anime projects, so it's safe to say that Goldfish's presence suggests that an anime announcement is on the way.
The anime adaptation of Kagurabachi hasn't been announced yet, but it's about time Shonen Jump did. The Kagurabachi manga is popular, but has yet to achieve the same level of fame as Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia.
Anime adaptations can be very beneficial, especially since they greatly help the manga's reputation.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Part 2 May Release New Update
Jujutsukaisen Season 3 Part 1 has already concluded in March 2026, and it has been one of the best projects MAPPA has worked on. Part 1 has just ended, but fans are already interested in when Part 2 will be released. Most rumors suggest that the next installment of Jujutsu Kaisen will air in 2027, but there is no official confirmation yet. I hope that changes at the Shonen Jump Showcase. The new JJK part will cover the rest of the curling game, including many more amazing battles.
In addition to JJK, there will also be announcements related to Black Clover at the Shonen Jump showcase. It has been confirmed that the Black Clover anime will return in 2025, but the exact release date has not been shared with audiences. So hopefully there will be updates in the showcase.
