Cross Epoch coming to America

Super Sonic, "AP" refers to the Arlong Park forums.

I haven't bought an issue Shonen Jump since 2005, but I'll make damn sure I pick this one up, if only because this'll never be published in "graphic novel" format.

[Bardo117]

That's good, I guess.

I thought they got rid of the American Jump a long time ago.

I thought they got rid of the American Jump a long time ago.

A sudden burst of nostalgia hit me when I noticed this sitting in a Walgreens last week.

What's kind of funny to me is how back when DBZ was running in Viz's Jump, I didn't like YGO because it felt like it got the main cover image every single month, but now-a-days, thanks to Abridged, I really like the series. :3 I think if I went to go look at those covers now I'd just laugh because it'd remind me of different fun parts of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged.


That said, I really liked Cross Epoch when I first read it and I really appreciate and enjoy Mr. Oda's world-building skills; Shenlong's dessert-covered home was no different. X3
Also, Vegeta as a sky-pirate with an eye-patch and spaghetti-o's cape is classic. :3
Oh, and Zoro getting lost, with Piccolo. XD I didn't fully appreciate Zoro's sense of direction in this until I really started following One Piece and learned how that's a regular part of his character.

Not to mention that Vegeta having to wear the Bad Man shirt + yellow pants is nothing compared to what happened to Sanji during those two years, though recently it's been pushed to a point where I'm starting to feel sorry for Sanji rather than laughing, notably the blood transfusion a few weeks ago.

I'd be interested to know what ages the DB crew are at in this crossover. Future Trunks is there, but no Gohan or Chi-Chi. Maybe it's a universe where Goku never had a wife and son? Or everyone's at their 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai ages and Trunks is there just because he's a good/interesting character?

Great, but they shall finally release DB in kanzenban format uncensored in english translation for me to buy it whole!
Instead of these annual candies which are working on me as spit into my face rather then fanservice.
I know this Cross Epoch anyway, read fan translation few years ago, so how could anyone expect me to buy magazine
for 20 pages of my favorite series crossing with series I ddon't like a bit
Damn those hellish mondays.....

Very good. Very interesting.


What happened to Sanji during those 2 years ??? 0v0

[SHINOBI-03]

I have a favor to anyone who'd pick up the issue. I want you to post the main cover of the issue when it get released. Viz got an issue ((no pun intended)) when they have something special, but the cover does not mention it or having it there but you barely notice it when they have a huge image of a Naruto or a One Piece character plastered all over it.

I almost missed the first Bakuman preview issues thanks to their bad cover editing. So, I'd appreciate if you'd show us the exact issue. We do get some American SJ magazines here in Dubai, but it's a bit hard to find.

He turned into a cross-dresser and was constantly chased by okamas (drag queens). Poor, poor, Sanji.

Don't read a lot of manga besides DB?

Watch the spoiler questions please. Some of us are only at where US jump is, with the end of the Paramount War, and not sure how long until that time-jump is.

[Chibi Mystic Gohan]

I already have two copies of the issue of Weekly Jump that Cross Epoch was in, so I'll only be buying this issue for that sexy Dark Magician card...

[Gozar]

I'm surprised this is just getting reported on DaizEX now. I knew about it through that One Piece Podcast from quite a while ago and I know that Mike follows them on Twitter, so I figured...Well, anyway...

This is certainly exciting, I know I'll be picking this up.

[Goku100xKamehameha]

KInd of off-topic.. But... Do anyone knows how to order the Japanese version of "Shukan Shonen Janpu" online? I've already checked Amazon Japan but, they don't sell any.

Oops, my bad. xP

Was Cross Epoch really that good a story?

Was Cross Epoch really that good a story?

It was a short story, that didn't have much of a plot. I was disappointed, since I thought it would be a greater adventure, than what it turned out to be...
And that's all I'm saying, since I don't want to spoil it for the rest.

[JulieYBM]

Was Cross Epoch really that good a story?

It was more of a glorified clipshow, but it had the two top dogs of JUMP teaming up. It's still a pretty epic thing.

[CODii]

Was Cross Epoch really that good a story?

Story wise it wasn't all that great in my opinion, but it was still fun. Just seeing the characters from my two favorite series together was a blast. I have not bought an issue of Jump in years, but I will definitely buy this. Partly because I read it a while ago as a scanslation on the grounds that there was no official English release for me to buy. Now that it is coming out I will support the legal release. Remember scanslations aren't even legal when something hasn't been released in the U.S., so once a legal version is out there, they are definitely off limits.
