The long-elusive anime crossover of One Piece and Dragon Ball Z will finally air in English on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim Toonami block.

The 2013 Toriko One Piece and Dragon Ball Z Super Crossover Special will finally air in North America. An English dub will be available.

The official English account of Toei Animation announced that the crossover special featuring the stars from One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, and Toriko would make its North American television debut on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim Toonami block. Original broadcast on Fuji TV, April 7, 2013, in Japan. The special is part of the One Piece anime television series as Episode 590 “The Mightiest Collaboration In History vs. Gluttonous Of the Sea”, but international viewers were not able to access it. It is not part of the One Piece official English media release and it is not available on English-based streaming sites like Crunchyroll. Toriko and One Piece will air on Toonami Saturday, March 4.

Excited for Crossover Episode’s Publication

Jason DeMarco the co-creator and Senior Vice President for Anime & Action at Warner Bros. Discovery shared their excitement on Twitter. DeMarco tweeted, “We still have moves.” Adult Swim/Toonami was one of many streaming services that Warner Bros. owned. Discovery was affected by the Content Purge. This famously affected HBO Max, as the higher-ups asked questions about the name or the future streaming service.

The cancellation of Shenmue: The Animation was one of the most significant losses. It aired 13 episodes between 2021 and 2022. Before Sony bought them in 2021, the Shenmueanime had been a coproduction between Adult Swim & Crunchyroll. This was before Funimation’s merger in 2022. Despite these setbacks, Toonami continues airing anime action series such as My Hero Academia or One Piece and funding new series like Housing Complex C.

One Piece is currently available on streaming platforms like Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Tubi. A live-action One PieceTV Series is currently in development for Netflix. It will be available sometime in 2023.

Splatoon 3 shows what’s in the Fresh Season. The Chill Season is fast approaching its end.

Splatoon3 has just wrapped up its Chill Season. They have now revealed some new content, including the Kraken’s special ability. Splatoon3 also will see the Wave 1 release of its Expansion Pass at the same time. Fans will be able to enjoy a variety of new items starting on March 1.

Splatoon‘s predecessor published regular version updates, but they did not follow a fixed schedule. Splatoon3 is a modern shooter that uses a seasonal approach to its updates. This includes rotating emotes, gear, and decorations.

The Splatoon 3 team has been fairly quiet about the next season. New images show several updates to the game and a video that shows the Kraken Royale returning Kraken special. The Kraken Royale’s new Kraken Royale Special has not been revealed yet. It will be part of the Krak-On Roller or.96 Gal kits along with Beakons or Splash Wall.

If you’re not familiar with the Kraken it was a special available in Splatoon but didn’t return for Splatoon. Splatoon III has been bringing back specials, stages, and events from Splatoon I since its launch. Manta Maria, as well as an unidentified stage, will return to the Fresh Season.

Along with a multitude of new weapon sets, the image appears to be teasing new music. Fans were also intrigued to see a “jukebox”, as data miners have previously found a similar device in the game. New tracks are very likely to be added, but the ability to select music in the lobby or vote for it during a battle is likely to be welcomed by most gamers.

Last but not least, the object with the faces is the one that puzzles the fans. While it appears that this might be a new special added to the game’s gameplay, what it is and its function is still unknown. Nintendo has confirmed that they will continue to reveal information about the upcoming season over the coming days, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long to find out.

gamers will soon be busy as they search through a new catalog to unlock all of the game’s features. New weapons, gear, and Tableturf Cards should keep players busy from March 1.

Spy x Family characters occur during a chilly war between Ostanias and Westalis. But what does it mean for visitors? Spy x Family is a hit shonen manga due to its unique facility. Based on Tatsuya Eno’s manga the collection follows an undercover officer who forms a member of his family to fulfill his critical goal, which is to investigate a danger that threatens political stability. It is important that we review the story’s setting before moving on to season 2. This will be available for Fall 2023.

Spy x Family is not a slice of life like some series. But it’s still not a world where everything happens in real-time. Spy x Family member’s arrangement allows Tatsuya Eno to explore his creative side easily, which is a familiar technique in shonen as well.
Spy x Family was not set in a vast world-building style like One Piece. However, the author provided a compelling backdrop for the cold battle. Ostania and Westalis, two rival countries that are based in the East as well as the West, will be the focus of the main fight. Ostania, while being “the nation to the East”, is far more than that. Ostania was clearly designed to be an imitation of East Germany, which is a country in the Warsaw Deal. Westalis on the other hand is West Germany, which is part of NATO. Real-world effects of this are unlimited, though Spy x Household, a shonen anime, simplifies the idea to one key trigger: the fact that these countries will be fighting in a cold war.

All of this gives history-minded anime enthusiasts some interesting suggestions regarding what else might be happening behind scenes in Spy x Family. Not just in terms of SSS, a clear parallel for the Stasi (East German secret police), but also beyond that. Ostania was once considered to be close friends with Westalis. Spy x Family might have some deep lore, which could be checked out by history fans in a tie-in novel. The manga as well as anime focus on what the manga and anime refer to, the antics surrounding the Counterfeiter household. The world-building includes a map in the manga. This map also shows an analog for Denmark which is found over Westalis as well as Ostania. Hugaria, further to the east, is also shown. Hugaria is, without a doubt, this world’s Hungary. This central European nation also belonged to the Warsaw Pact. Spy x Family will likely continue expanding until a new version of Europe appears, which would offer Loid a huge world to explore.
There are three main options for setting up fiction: the author can create an imaginary world entirely from scratch. This is ideal for sci-fi and fantasy. Another option is to use a real environment. A third alternative is to make a fictional universe based on real life. Spy x Household or Fullmetal Sorcerer combines the best elements of each world to create this third choice. Since some of the world-building work is already done, settings like Ostania or Westalis can be made more realistic for the audience.

Tatsuya endo, a manga artist, can have a familiar setup and still use creative liberty to adapt it to the story’s requirements. Customers can enjoy the information that is shown in the scenes while also being able to fill in many of the gaps through enlightened guesses using real-world references. This results in effective storytelling. While the author may only have to provide the basic information, visitors will be able to perceive more detail through the worldbuilding. Spy x Family is a richly outlined story that feels big despite the fact that there is very little world-building. You can’t provide something like this for a totally fictional anime environment, such as the one of Naruto/ Berserk. This means that the author must complete all world-building by themselves. It takes time and effort.

It is no surprise that the Makima simps all over the globe are experiencing severe post-season withdrawals. Chainsaw Male Tuesdays are long gone. You don’t have to be desperate to find something to read that is in the same vein as Tatsuki’s masterpiece, but we have a list of uncommon manga you can check out.

If you are looking for the next solution to the bombastic Power saw Man activity, then the best option for anime only fans is to either read Fire Punch (beware: it’s anxious objectified) or to jump into the Power saw Guy manga (you’re looking to chapter 39). Here are 10 mangas that Chainsaw Male fans should look at if they’re looking for something more action-packed and unique.

1. ChoujinX

Choujin X would be a good choice if you love the monster styles of Power Saw Male’s devils and have an affinity for Tokyo Ghoul tale writing. Sui Ishida created it. The story follows Tokio Kurohara (a high schooler) as he and Azuma Higashi enter a strange society with half-humans, half-demons. Choujin, similar to the Tokyo Ghoul’s ghouls are powerful beings with metaphysical abilities who fight to survive at the bottom rungs of society.

Tokio is transformed by his extraordinary Choujin powers into a vulture-like creature. Like Denji, Tokio is a unique manga lead character. Tokio isn’t as brave and also strong as his childhood friend Denji. Instead, he is more of a wimp and wants to avoid any problems. Azuma’s bravery and courage would make him a prominent character if the manga were in different hands. The manga’s story of Tokyo’s struggles to become a Choujin is worth reading, rather than grinding your pleasure to a standstill. Ishida enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that he’s improved the imagination as well the clarity of motion, which is amazing considering it was hard to understand some of the scenes in Tokyo Ghoul: Re.

2. Dai Dark

Chainsaw Man fans who want to see space-faring adventures, as well as wallpaper-worthy Manga panels, should read Dai Dark. Another Dorohedoro creator Q Hayashida’s joint, it is in the company of Zaha Sanko, who is being pursued throughout the galaxy for his body parts. His skeleton, which has been known to grant anyone any type or dream, is also being used. It’s not normal for anyone to take their skeleton while they’re still using them, so Zaha and his terrifyingly skeletal friends must track down the man who cursed Zaha’s bone to ensure that he lives in tranquility.
If you liked the brutalist landscapes and also the charming-yet-offputting character layouts in Hayashida’s Dorohedoro, Dai Dark preserves that very same level of style as well as quality, specifically with its yoked-up Noi-equivalent personality, Shimada Fatality.

3. Dandadan

Yukinobu Toatsu’s Dandadan combines the most frightening horror images of Junji Ito’s stories with some of my favorite rom-com situationsal humor. Dandadan tells the story of Momo Ayase (“one of the most popular high school girls who believes ghosts”) and Ken Takakura (“the school’s greatest geek who thinks aliens exist). Momo and Ken are best friends after they provoke a schoolyard attempt where they have to search for a haunted website to prove the existence and validity of the paranormal. The pair discover they are both right, but by using the most unlucky means possible: being abducted and having their components taken by ghosts.

Dandadan, if Denji was also a favorite of yours, is a good choice. It has a lot more of that kind of wit in each of its bizarre yokai hunting journeys and gives out just as many sincere minutes between the pair as their monsters of this week.

4. Devilman G

Devilman Grimoire by Go Nagai is one of many retellings the legendary seinen scary manga Devilman. Devilman G is, however, a different Netflix movie that features Devilman Crybaby. This version has a much more balanced character and monster design from Toei Animation’s ’70s anime. The story follows the same format as previous versions. However, Devilman G makes a significant change to how Miki Makimura is treated. Miki Makimura is not a weak lady who Akira Fudo needs to rescue. She has the power of an all-powerful witch and she can use her powers to save Akira Fudo. A welcome twist on Miki’s story is that she triggers Akira into the satanic force, king Amon. Let’s go, Miki.

5. Hell’s Paradise

Mappa’s anime adaptation to Heck’s Paradise is Jigokuraku, which will stream on Crunchyroll in springtime. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t enjoy looking through the beautiful manga panels. You can only find it at your local bookstore if you are lucky. They sell out quickly whenever they restock. Hell’s Heaven is a wonderful book.
Heck’s Heaven, Yuujikaku- Power seen Guy maker Fujimoto’s former aide, follows a team detainees, as well the death squads, as they search for the elixir that will give them life. The manga’s self destruction squad of convicts discovers the island’s dangerous flora as well its treacherous, never-ending residents.

6. Inuyashiki

You might have ever seen the meme on the internet of an anime personality advising a scared woman about how fiery One Piece was (based). This scene is from Inuyashiki. A sci-fi manga that reveals more about your character than how you love One Piece.

Hiroya Oku has created Inuyashiki. It is a sci-fi drama about an infant boomer who is lonely. Ichirou makes a good cry while walking his canine through the park. After that, he finds an extraterrestrial creature that grants him a machine body. The story continues with Ichirou’s journey as a community hero who has a difficult time keeping his humanity.

7. Jagaaaaaan

Jagaaaaan by Kensuke Nishida. Blue Lock creator Muneyuki Kanneshiro is a supernatural manga about Shintarou Jagasaki. Shintarou dreams instead of serving and protecting, but he wants to be able to unload his entire police-issued firearm onto anyone who turns their head. Art is like life. Things get worse when a man dressed in a demon’s clothes kills his partner. Shintaro is just about to meet his ancestors when he fires a shot at the perpetrator with his fingertips.

Shintarou is infected with a frog-like critter known as a Mad Xenopus. This critter can transform the physiology, based on their strongest desires, of human beings. Shinatarou is now a trigger-happy frog who must use his newfound abilities to quickly “justice”, transform humans into monsters, and save his fiance. You all know the ending.

8. Kaijiu No.8

Kaiju No. 8 by NaoyaMatsumoto. It boldly does what many shonen manga don’t: make its primary character an adult. Kaiju No. 8 agrees to Kafka Hibino (32) a 32-year old sanitation worker who cleans up after kaiju fighting. Kafka didn’t imagine working in an unrecognized blue collar job. As a child, Kafka envisioned joining the army and fighting the enemy on the frontlines with Mina Ashiro.

Kafka meets a Kaiju who transforms him into a humanoid Kaiju. Kafka is currently trying to hide his newfound abilities and pursue his childhood dream of becoming a participant in Japan’s Kaiju Protection Corps. Kaiju No. Manufacturing I.G is also giving 8 an anime adaptation. It is expected that the movie will premiere sometime next year.

9. Parayte

Parasyte by HitoshiIwaaki is a highly acclaimed sci-fi manga about Shinichi Izumi (high schooler) who is tricked into becoming a parasite animal called Migi. Migi begins a codependent relationship by taking Shinichi’s ideal arm. However, Migi fails to completely take over Shinichi’s body. The result is an odd-couple relationship between them as they fight other bloodsuckers. Parasyte is unusual, gross, and sometimes remarkably heartfelt.

10. Neverland: The Promised Neverland

The Promised Neverland by Kaiu and Posuka Shirai, as well as the musician Posuka Dezu is one of the most outstanding horror mangas of the last decade. It follows the lives of a group of children living at Grace Field House, an orphanage in a dystopian future. When they learn the truth behind the “college graduations,” their older sisters and brothers have, the children’s carefree lives begin to unravel. They are just livestock-esque brands and the time spent evaluating their mental determination was to make them food for the eldritch creatures living beyond their substance. The Assured Neverland will never require Chicken Run anime.
What follows is a game involving double-crossing, lies, double-crossing and mind games. Its major characters Emma, Ray and Norman set up a jailbreak in their orphanage. The Assured Neverland anime’s first season is a perfect adaptation. I recommend that you watch the manga and not the second. CloverWorks chose to speedrun the source material and skip 60 chapters of the manga. This includes the fan-favorite Goldy Fisher pond arc. Yeesh.

The Makima simps of the world are no doubt going through harsh post-season withdrawals now that Chainsaw Male Tuesdays are a distant memory. If you remain in dire demand of something to review that remains in the very same wheelhouse as Tatsuki Fujimoto’s magnum opus, you’re in good luck, due to the fact that we’ve obtained a listing of unusual manga for you to take a look at.

The apparent method for “anime only” out there seeking to get their following solution of bombastic Power saw Man-esque activity would be to read Fire Punch (be advised: it’s anxiety objectified) or start into the Power saw Guy manga to see where the tale grabs after the anime (you’re looking for chapter 39, btw). Yet if you’re searching for a new manga to review that’s just as peculiar and action-packed, below are 10 madcap manga that followers of Chainsaw Male must look into after ending up the anime.

1. ChoujinX

If you delighted in the monster styles of Power saw Male’s devils as well as have an affinity for Tokyo Ghoul’s tale writing, you’d be wise to look into Choujin X. Produced by Sui Ishida, it adheres to an unlucky high schooler called Tokio Kurohara as he and also his buddy Azuma Higashi are forced into a superordinary society where half-human, half-demons called Choujin guideline. Similarly to ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul, Choujin is powerful beings with metaphysical powers that battle to endure near the bottom rung of society.

Tokio’s superordinary Choujin powers transform him right into a vulture-like creature. Much like Denji, he’s an atypical manga lead character. Rather than being courageous and also headstrong like his childhood good friend, Tokio is a little a wimp who desires absolutely nothing more than to stay clear of problems. Were this manga in various hands, Azuma, with his commonly brave qualities, would certainly be a major character. Yet as opposed to grinding any pleasure to a halt, Tokyo’s struggle as well as a success towards ending up being a completely realized Choujin make this manga a must-read. Also, Ishida followers will be pleased to hear that he’s stepped up the imagination as well as clarity of motion below, which is incredible due to the fact that it was a little bit of a struggle to understand activity scenes in the later parts of Tokyo Ghoul: Re.

2. Dai Dark

Chainsaw Man fans with a hankering for space-faring adventures as well as wallpaper-worthy manga panels should review Dai Dark. Another joint by Dorohedoro developer Q Hayashida, it complies with a teen called Zaha Sanko that’s being pursued across the galaxy for his body parts: especially his skeleton, which has the power to grant a being any type of dream. Certainly, no one intends to have their skeleton taken while they’re still using it, so Zaha as well as his spooky terrifying skeletal compadre have to find the bloke who cursed Zaha’s bones so he can live in tranquility.
If you liked the brutalist landscapes and also the charming-yet-offputting character layouts in Hayashida’s Dorohedoro, Dai Dark preserves that very same level of style as well as quality, specifically with its yoked-up Noi-equivalent personality, Shimada Fatality.

3. Dandadan

Dandadan, by Yukinobu Tatsu, meshes the truly scary horror images from the most effective page-turns in a Junji Ito story together with a few of the funniest rom-com situational humor I’ve ever before read. Dandadan is a story concerning Momo Ayase (one of the most preferred women in high school, who believes in ghosts), as well as Ken Takakura, (the school’s greatest geek, that thinks aliens exist). Momo and Ken come to be besties after provoking a schoolyard attempt in which both need to scout a haunted website and refute the existence of the paranormal. Sadly, the pair find they’re both right by the most unfortunate means possible: by obtaining abducted by aliens and having a ghost take their exclusive components.

If you discovered Denji as well as Aki’s nut-cracking requiem to Himeno touching, Dandadan is most likely to be right up your street because it loads much more of that sort of wit within each of its bizarre yokai-hunting journeys while giving out equally as numerous sincere minutes in between the pair and also their monsters of the week.

4. Devilman G

Devilman Grimoire, by Go Nagai and artist Rui Takatou, is one of the many retellings of the timeless seinen scary manga, Devilman. Nonetheless, unlike the Netflix collection Devilman Crybaby, Devilman G evokes a lot more rounded character and also monster designs from Toei Animation’s ’70s anime. While the tale by and large adheres to the same story as its other iterations, one crucial modification in Devilman G is the treatment of its heroine, Miki Makimura. Rather than working as a powerless lady in distress for Akira Fudo to rescue, Miki has powers of her very own as an all-powerful witch. One more welcome re-imagining of Miki’s character is that her powers are what trigger Akira’s change into the satanic force of king Amon. Let’s go, Miki.

5. Hell’s Paradise

Mappa’s anime adaptation of Heck’s Paradise: Jigokuraku is slated to stream on Crunchyroll this springtime but that doesn’t indicate you can’t bide your time by thumbing through its painterly manga panels. That is if you can locate any kind of at your neighborhood bookshop, due to the fact that those young puppies sell out like pancakes anytime they restock. And also for good reason: Hell’s Heaven is pretty fucking excellent.
Heck’s Heaven, by Yuuji Kaku– Power saw Guy maker Fujimoto’s former aide– follows a team of detainees and also the death squads charged with supervising them as they discover a mysterious island called Kotaku (no, actually) for the elixir of life for an excuse from the Shogun. Things deviate when the manga’s self-destruction squad of convicts experience the island’s deadly flora and also their equally treacherous never-ceasing residents.

6. Inuyashiki

If you have actually ever before seen that web meme of an anime personality drinking down a frightened female regarding exactly how fire the most recent chapter of One Piece is (based), that scene comes from Inuyashiki, a sci-fi manga with a lot more revealing character checks than exactly how liking One Piece means you’re not afraid of dedication.

Inuyashiki, by Hiroya Oku, is a sci-fi drama concerning a friendless infant boomer called Ichirou Inuyashiki. After having an excellent cry at the park while taking his canine for a stroll, Ichirou finds an extraterrestrial thing that offers him a mechanical body. The remainder of the tale adheres to Ichirou’s painful journey as a community superhero having a hard time keeping his humanity.

7. Jagaaaaaan

Jagaaaaaan, by artist Kensuke Nishida and Blue Lock creator Muneyuki Kaneshiro, is a supernatural manga about a fed-up cop named Shintarou Jagasaki. Instead of protecting and serving, Shintarou dreams of the day he can unload the entire clip of his police-issued firearm into anyone who looks at him sideways. Art imitates life, as it were. Things take a turn for the worse when a man with a demon’s face kills his partner. Just when Shintaro is about to meet his ancestors, he shoots a bullet at the perpetrator from his fingertips.

Turns out that Shintarou was infected by a frog-like critter called a Mad Xenopus that can transform the physiology of human beings based on their strongest desires. Now the trigger-happy Shinatarou must use his newfound powers to deal swift “justice” to humans transformed into monsters and save his fiance from turning into one herself. You know how it goes.

8. Kaijiu No.8

Kaiju No. 8, by Naoya Matsumoto, boldly does what most shonen manga don’t: have its primary personality be an adult. Kaiju No. 8 complies with Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old sanitation worker who tidies up the results of kaiju fights. Kafka never imagined working an unrecognized blue-collar job. When he was more youthful, he imagined joining the army and dealing with the front lines together with his friend, Mina Ashiro, versus the attacking monsters.

One fateful day, Kafka can be found in contact with a Kaiju that changes him into a humanoid kaiju, à la Spider-Man. Currently, Kafka has to conceal his newfound capabilities while seeking his childhood dream of coming to be a participant in Japan’s Kaiju Protection Corps. Kaiju No. 8 is also obtaining an anime adjustment by Manufacturing I.G, which is anticipated to premiere at some point next year.

9. Parayte

Parasyte, by Hitoshi Iwaaki, is an acclaimed sci-fi manga concerning a high schooler named Shinichi Izumi who’s gotten into by a parasitical animal named Migi. Falling short of completely overtaking Shinichi’s body, Migi instead starts a codependent connection with him by occupying his ideal arm. What takes place is an odd-couple connection between the two as they fight against other bloodsuckers. Parasyte is gross, unusual, as well as occasionally remarkably heartfelt.

10. The promised Neverland

The Promised Neverland, by Kaiu Shirai as well as musician Posuka Demizu, is perhaps one of the very best new horror manga of the decade. It complies with the lives of a bunch of kids at a dystopian orphanage called Grace Field House. The carefree lives of these children deviate when they uncover the reality behind the auspicious “college graduations” of their older brothers or sisters. Ends up, the livestock-esque brand names on their necks are simply that, and also all the time they invested evaluating their mental determination was so they could be utilized as food for the eldritch beings living outside their substance. It goes without saying, we won’t ever before require a Chicken Run anime because The Assured Neverland currently exists.
What complies is a game of lies, double-crossing, as well as mind games as its major characters, Emma, Ray, as well as Norman, stage a jailbreak from their orphanage. Season one of The Assured Neverland anime is a damn-near-perfect adjustment, however, I recommend folks avoid season two of the show as well as review the manga rather. For whatever factor, CloverWorks made a decision to speedrun via the source material and also skip almost 60 chapters of the manga, including the fan-favorite Goldy Fish pond arc. Yeesh.
