Dark Phantom doesn't sound scary enough. Now "Kanji no Sensei" would be terrifying, since the only way to defeat them is to drug them with a compassion-inducing drug. Anime hyper

So the last boss is basically just a mirror match? Unremarkable, but I guess that's one way to ensure no one complains about the boss character being unplayable. Plus, it would be pretty difficult to find a credible antagonist who is ridiculously powerful enough to pose a threat to EVERY Jump hero.

Well, aside from Yajarobe, of course.



Can't make the game TOO difficult, I guess.

I was hoping the final boss would be someone like Buu. Buu is probably one of the most powerful SJ villains. Also, he could still use power copying since he can absorb people. Hell, in the "Budokai" games, he even absorbs characters that weren't around in his point in the story like Frieza and Cell.

I'm conflicted, honestly. This is the easy answer rather than having a villain from just one of the series involved be the final opponent, but at the same time...I dunno. It just seems to lazy.

I would have preferred they had gotten one of their various authors to design a brand new villain for the game, they could even have done a one-shot type special chapter for the game to add even more hype (one of the previous DS games already did that). You know, perhaps an author that doesn't already have a character in the game. Like Masakazu Katsura. Grr.

Aw man, I wished the main villain was the Shonen Jump's pirate mascot who was disapointed in the Jump manga series...

Probably Hades (Saint Seiya) emperor of the Underworld would pose a threat to all Jump Stars and he would have been a good choice instead of fighting mirror.

I am talking about this guy >>>

And that puts Saint Seiya above the other shows and gets fans mad. Same deal if they went with an upgraded manga villain, like, random example, a version of Kaioh with a power up weapon. It puts Fist of the North Star above the other shows.
