The probability of this is probably low, right?

This Toriyama and Katsura manga coming to Young Jump later this year that Torishima announced; it's probably nothing to do with Dragon Ball because it's going to be in Young Jump, right? It's probably another original series like they've done the previous times they've teamed up?


Bonus question: Would anyone here want to see a Toriyama-written/Katsura-drawn Dragon Ball manga? I'd read it. I like Katsura's art style and think he and Toriyama make a good team. It'd also make a fantastic medium for exploring some of those other 11 universes mentioned in BOG. >_>

I have a feeling it's probably not Dragon Ball related, yeah. If I recall correctly, Jaco was originally meant to be something else the two of them would collaborate on (and I'd love to see a Katsura-drawn Jaco), so I'd imagine they probably decided to do another team-up again now that Toriyama was done with Jaco and done with the new movie as well.

Hmm...though, since the other one-shots they did are potentially connected to Jaco if you wanted them to be, then I guess it could be Dragon Ball related if you made it so.

I hope this is about a new DBZ series.
Toriyama crafted a new way for a series, so its possible.

If you think about it, Freeza is the first big villain of the list who feels the wrath of SSJGSSJ
just like he was the first to experience SSJ.

I'm not sure how well they really fit for a consistent continuity with the apparent discrepancies between the two different Galactic Patrols (one being tiny aliens in suits and the other being just aliens themselves), but Toriyama originally started working on Jaco while writing Jiya and the Katsura x Akira interview has him stating all three works comprise single a "Galactic Patrol series". So it seems to be the same organization to him, which is fine since we don't have an actual timeline of events between the three. We just know that Jiya should presumably come before Jaco since the former has a focus on gathering information on Earth and the later has information on the planet.

So if Jaco is part of the Dragon Ball world, I guess Sachie and Jiya are too...in the weird Dr. Slump sort of way? So if they are doing another Galactic Patrol series, I could see it fitting in in a similar manner. If not, I'll still enjoy the read...or at least looking at the pictures. xD

(The US rarely gets the goodies like these... I want my Katsura x Akira book please.)

For those who haven't actually seen a Young Jump before, here's one of their covers versus a Saikyo Jump cover (which is the actual audience Shueisha would want to hit for a new audience):



Were there to be a new DB manga series, I assure you that it would never pop up in Young Jump.

Sweet. I've really liked all of their collaborations so far. Toriyama has really become quite active lately.

Eh, just because they are part of a series doesn't mean they are intended to follow the same continuity. For example, the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy involves the same director but the stories don't necessarily take place in some sort of shared universe.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

I'm not going to say every work from the same person(s) has to be in the same continuity, it rarely ever works like that without confirmed sequels. I'm just parroting back Julian's words on the interview from the Katsura x Akira book. Toriyama isn't usually one to talk about this kind of stuff, which makes it seem like a continuity thing to me.

For what it's worth, Toriyama mentions in the interview at the end of KatsuraAkira that he considers Jaco the Galactic Patrolman a part in what he calls the "Galactic Patrol series", along with Sachie-chan and Jiya.

[Limienerd]

It's a possibility that Toriyama Akira could be doing a dragonball in Young Jump since I imagine if he said "I want to write some dragon ball but I want to do it my way/style" they would be like yes sir anything you want sir. I imagine he's burnt out on dragonball right now from working on the new Freeza movie so this is something different. We might get a joke or two kind of thing about dragonball though in the series if it does go ahead.

Isn't Young Jump market to older male audiences that are above the age of 13? Zetman was in Young Jump and it was pretty dark and violent then a typical Shonen anime & manga. Dragon Ball is market to kids at the age of 4 - 13 in Japan.

Shonen manga can be aimed for pre-teens, teenagers and older teens. Some shonens just focus on the younger end of the spectrum while others focus on the older end, while other vary in tone. Mangas like Bakuman and Fist of the North Star focused more on the older end. Dragon Ball, due to its changes in tone, on average could be considered to be somewhere in the middle on average.

Young Jump is a Seinen magazine. It is not a Shōnen magazine (or Shōnen Magazine, for that matter).

Even Jiya, which was relatively tame by the magazine's standards, managed to work in a scene with a prostitute.

Yes, Young Jump is aimed at young adults, ie the 14+ crowd, rather than children like Shonen Jump is.

I know. It seemed to me that his post was implying that shonen aren't or can't be pretty violent/dark or can't be meant to teenagers older than 13, so I provided some context to explain that it's not as simple as slapping a "for ages from X to Y".

I did forget however to answer his question. So, yes, Young Jump is a seinen magazine, which targets young adults.
