Welcome to battle shonens, where the final fight takes A LOT of time to end lmao, this is normal but probably this is the first time you're experience it so this might be new to you haha

Nah I mean with other battle shonens at least the fights would keep going between different people. Like in Naruto, they didn't keep bringing new people against Madara or Kaguya.

I do like this approach JJK is doing, having tons of characters fighting that millennium entity is really what captivates me on this last arc. I did like Naruto fight against madara and Kaguya too tho, I just think they are two different purposes

Demon Slayer had a 20 chapter fight against the final boss too with similar complaints about it dragging especially with Muzan having a much worse moveset compared to the Upper Moons. Frieza fight was also long as hell IIRC. I think the Goku/Frieza fight alone was like 20 chapters or something and Frieza fought a gauntlet of people before Goku showed up. Kaido was also a raid boss who went against Luffy like 3 times, the Supernovas on the rooftop, the samurai, Yamato, etc.. and many complained it was dragging (at least I did lol). MHA final battle has been decently long although it's switched up the opponents quickly so I don't know if that would count

Edit: Just realized comment was about final battles only. In that case, KNY is the only one that was similar to JJK in that regard. There might have been others but I can't think of them off the top of my head

Man, that Frieza fight is absolutely legendarily amazing to this day. Perhaps after JJK ends, i will remember the epic Sukuna fight fondly too. Anyway, i don't get all the complains of Sukuna vs everyone fight. It is basically a call back of Heian era where a lot of people fight him.

Sukuna is a raid boss. Basically they send their biggest DPS first to chip him. Then throw more people to chip him further to his last HP. Will not make sense if Sukuna is only facing few people, considering he is basically the strongest ever in history. Now only time can tell if he is like a Final Fantasy final boss with a 3rd form. Btw, Frieze also have many forms right? Boy, i wonder how people felt reading that Frieze arc weekly back then.

"Frieze is NOT dead yet???"
"Piccolo got a power up and still vannot beat him??"
"Vegeta is dead, we are finished"
"What can Goku even do now???"
"Frieze transformed AGAIN??? ASSPULL!!"
"Super Saiyan comes out from nowhere, asspull!!"
"PlotFrieza vs AsspullGoku"

Shadow Eliminators did even better than Two on Ice.

You can't go wrong with Exorcists, we eat them up

This is a action manga it is just normal, i think Dorondoron does the same. If we want to keep action manga which sold less than 15k and had bad ranking, Jump will be ended.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Shadow Eliminators could have become the next king of Shonen like Black Clover if they have it time.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

To be fair, Shadow Eliminators is selling better than Phantom Busters vol 1 from SQ when released:

Shadow Eliminators 1 (2,762) - 4 Days
Phantom Busters #1 (2,780) - 7 days

And PB started to blow up with vol 2 release, so you never know, maybe Shadow Eliminators was published in the wrong magazine, we will never know for sure...

Bottom three for this week:
Nue
Dear Anemone
GGG

Kill Blue is getting a cover page for its anniversary. If Nue doesn’t get one in the next issues, its future is getting very worrying

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

They didn't announced 2 consecutive color pages for the series to hide the anniversary lol

If nothing else, next axe round probably isn't for three series
So I guess Kawae has a little extra time to start wrapping things up if it continues ranking like this

Dear Anemone, on the other hand, could not be more in the rough
I hear the mangaka deleted all posts mentioning the series on their twitter

Can prove there is no mention of Dear Anemone the serialization (the oneshot is still here and there). Cannot prove they were deleted.

Welp. One day Rin, one day.

Takeru once again struggles to not fellate himself over the idea of Chihiro looking cool
