I like how the mouths of the protagonists in the illustration become less and less prominent.

Wow, what a fearsome foursome of judges.

Togashi isn´t the kind of guy to do this and Toriyama wouldn't have done this either but a lack of Oda and Kishimoto or one of the FotNS creators is noticeable. Is that the point? No pre-2000 judges? 47-year-old Kubo is the senior citizen here and has the longest manga.

Maybe it has to do with availability? 3 of the 4 either just finished their manga (MHA), are about to finish (JJK), and have finished (Bleach). While BC is ongoing, maybe the author felt like he had the bandwidth? Whereas Oda and Kishi are in the thick of it with their series? (I could make an argument about Oda being far to busy and Kishi maybe being on the outs a bit with SJ considering his canceled manga, an ended Boruto anime, and a sequel series no one seems to be talking about...but that is just speculation on my part and probably wrong). |

Fist of the North Star, but neither Tetsuo Hara nor Buronson have any real working relationship with Shueisha/Jump, outside of doing stuff for Jump's notable anniversaries, so they wouldn't get involved with this either. While it sounds like it'd be a good idea to have the creator's of classic works from decades ago, I think it's fine to have the younger gen mangaka handle the judging for this, since they're more experienced with how battle manga work in Jump today. Bringing in a pre-2000 judge would be a bit weird, since most of those mangaka aren't still making battle manga, and if they are it's not for Shonen Jump anyway. |

So are we, uh, sure we want Kubo critiquing someone else's work?

He's one of the most successful mangaka so yeah, he seems like a really great choice to be a judge for one of these things. |

I would be too afraid to even THINKING of becoming a mangaka for Shonen Jump. Jump+, yes, there is room for developping a story and it isn't as cutthroat, but shonen jump? You get cut fast and hard and even if it is for the sake of the magazine, it's like the russian roulette... Only for high risk/high returns takers...
We are aiming for a lot less risky publisher with our manga... Being published by Shonen Jump is very valuable thanks to its Halo Effect that has a lot of impact on sales (not for turds, obviously, because it's not a magic spell, but it helps a lot...) but it's too risky. Good luck for the mangaka taking the fall. Need a very strong faith in one's own abilities... or not caring about one's own story's characters at all, if you don't care being cut and your characters killed... |

Tetsuo Hara still does Battle Seinen over at Tokuma Shoten and his eye surgery worked out. Neither FotNS creator fully broke off with Shueisha either, unlike a bunch of 80s to 00s talent, due to some anniversary stuff and whatnot. Both Kinnikumen also fully remain at Shueisha. Booking a spry 60-something grandpa who invented the hamster wheel the aspiring Jump artist want to get on can only help. The road from Kinnikuman to One-Punch Man (in Seinen Jump) is a hop, not a mile.
A senior, one of the Big 3, a recent talent who finished their first hit recently and a woman no matter what is how I would assemble this. Female helmed successes inside the Jump ecosystem besides Demon Slayer, or so they say, exist. Well, one handful. If they ever make a writing workshop dedicated to characterization and setting then get Ariki and you are good. 10 people couldn´t give the advice he can hand out. His Shrek reviews are the stuff of legend. |
