Saikyō Jump (最強ジャンプ Saikyō Janpu; "The Strongest Jump") is currently a bimonthly magazine published in Japan by Shueisha under the Jump line of magazines. The magazine's focus is spin-off and supplementary manga series aimed at a young audience, while also including game promotions, news coverage, and more.
Issues are forward-dated for the odd-numbered months (January, March, May, July, September, and November) and are released within the first week of the prior month.
History
Saikyō Jump began as a quarterly publication releasing in December 2010, April 2011, August 2011, and October 2011. The first two issues were larger-sized (AB; 21 × 25.7 cm), while the third and fourth were altered down to their current size (A5; 14.5 × 21 cm).
The magazine shifted to a monthly publication schedule in December 2011 (with its respective January 2012 issue), running through August 2014 (with its respective September 2014 issue). The magazine shifted to a bimonthly schedule in October 2014 (with its respective September 2014 issue), a schedule it maintains to this day.
(Who is the editor-in-chief?)
Content
Saikyō Jump's primary focus is juvenile, spin-off adaptations of popular Jump series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Toriko, Katekyō Hitman Reborn!, etc. New authors and artists are recruited to produce these works, rather than the respective series' original author. These new artists may move from one series to another as series conclude or are cancelled in favor of others; for example, Katsuki Hirose's Dragon Ball Discross Divine Power God MAX!! ran for 11 chapters (concluding in the November 2016 issue) and was replaced with a new Digimon comic by the author the following issue (the January 2017 issue).
Similar to Weekly Shōnen Jump, the various manga series are each printed on a different colored shade of newsprint-like paper. Certain series and special chapters, such as all mainline Dragon Ball SD chapters, are printed in full-color on semi-glossy paper.
Each issue opens with various full-color pages promoting new and upcoming video games, manga, anime, etc.
Each issue concludes with a page of brief (generally one- to two-sentence) comments from all of its respective manga contributors.
Dragon Ball
Overview
Saikyō Jump's initial quarterly publication ran four chapters of Dragon Ball SD by Naho Ooishi, with each chapter retelling a training or overall story arc in the life of Son Goku. The series received a reboot in the first monthly publication, effectively starting over at the very beginning of the original Dragon Ball series.
As Dragon Ball Heroes released to arcades and gained in popularity, more series related to this initiative were published in Saikyō Jump, including the Dragon Ball GT Anime Comic in the January 2014 issue, and various Super Dragon Ball Heroes series beginning in the January 2016 issue. In addition to other series related to additional arcade and home console video games that have been serialized within Saikyō Jump, the magazine occasionally reprints single chapters for other supplemental Dragon Ball material, such as Neko Majin, Episode of Bardock and The Case of Being Reincarnated as Yamcha.
