Shonen Jump will always have Dragon Ball Naruto and One Piece to milk to death so they don't have to worry about anything.

Also Demon Slayer killed all 3 but retard nostalgiafags don't want to leave their bubble.

>bringing back old stars
They "brought them back" ten years ago. They've been the top guys ever since Super started, and this anime continuation is based on the manga material, so it's not a return in the same sense.
If anything, they've been gearing up to push other talent between the gimmicks they've been giving Piccolo, Broly, and Gohan. So it's likely they're building the fed around about five-to-six guys, as opposed to just two.
>>

Demon Slayer is fucking dogshit, and even then, its fans didn't like the movie.

Nuly got buried in his own PPV by big match GOATgeta which really killed his hype as a monster heel. Now he's just a comedy jobber stuck in the mid card. It was so bad that they had to bring back the old gimmick and are back to pushing him again.

They never stopped pushing the old gimmick, retard. Now they push both and double dip.

I don't watch indie shit. If it didn't happen in the fed it doesn't matter.

Shonen peaked with DBZ & will never outgrow the cultural impact of the series. Even big 3 era pales in comparison in some ways & Naruto got fucking statues. It’s like being a band & writing the perfect song early in your career, DBZ has everything a boy or teen would want in a series

Still doesn't change the fact that nuly is an antidraw.

Anime is in the same fate as wrestling: New stars (My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer e.t.c) can't get as over as the old ones and the editors have to milk the old stars (Dragon Ball, One piece) again and again.

Attack on Titan was good but it was short.

The fed is shit, goku and vegeta are still getting pushed with most of their matches being borefests that come off as squash matches. The developmental fed they was pretty dimes then they killed it with a rebrand. Not feeling this new PPV they have coming up either, it's just a house show being redone for a live taping with that new guy with the goat gimmick.

Those are storylines, all that shit was on weekly TV. Also they were PPVs back then.

Hachiyack is so bad they had to reshoot the PPV.
