Will they make you a better gamer? Not so much (sorry!).
Unlike Jujutsu Kaisen, Kagurabachi quickly became a hit from the start. Takeru Hokazono’s first manga immediately grabbed readers’ attention and has been growing in popularity ever since its release in September 2023. Even without an anime adaptation, it’s already one of the most successful series in Weekly Shonen Jump. By October 2025, over 3 million copies were in circulation, and sales have continued to climb rapidly. With this level of success, an anime adaptation would likely make Kagurabachi even more popular, potentially exceeding the success of Jujutsu Kaisen and other popular Shonen Jump series.
Shanks famously lost his arm protecting Luffy from a Sea King, but he quickly defeated the creature with his Haki.

However, the scene subtly reveals Shanks’ willingness to sacrifice for the sake of the next generation. With the unfolding of the Elbaph Arc, more details about Shanks’ history are being revealed, shedding light on the true reasons behind his sacrifice.
A lesser-known take on the Batman story appeared in the television series Gotham, which aired from 2014 to 2019. Despite a dedicated fanbase and five seasons, David Mazouz, who played a young Bruce Wayne, believes the show was cut short.

Fans were thrilled when a new anime series focusing on the popular Team 7 was announced, set to take place several years after the original. However, just days before its scheduled release on August 29th, 2023, the official Naruto website announced an indefinite postponement. The studio needed more time to ensure the animation quality was high, given how important the project was. Nearly three years have passed with no updates, but recent news from China indicates that a studio there is now working on large anime projects, including One Piece and Naruto.
Sometimes, films that aren’t predicted to win big at the Oscars end up being the surprise winners—or at least, they really surprise people. This year, movies like The Secret Agent, which already won a Golden Globe, or critically acclaimed independent films like Train Dreams and Sentimental Value, could be potential upsets. These represent just seven of the ten nominated films.
Premiering on January 21, 2016, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow stood out as a unique superhero show. It brought together characters fans first met in Arrow and The Flash, alongside some new faces. The first episode introduced a simple plot: the immortal Vandal Savage takes over the future, leading Time Master Rip Hunter to assemble a team of heroes and villains to stop him. While the show got off to a somewhat slow start with a basic storyline, Legends quickly became charming and enjoyable thanks to strong acting and lovable characters. It might not have reached the same level of popularity as other shows in the Arrowverse, but Legends of Tomorrow found its own audience and thrived because of it.

A standout quality of Deku is how he’s continually improved and personalized his quirk, growing with each challenge. He’s learned to minimize the physical strain it causes, and now his successor is showing similar growth. That successor is Koichi Haimawari, the main character from the My Hero Academia: Vigilantes prequel series. From the start, Koichi felt familiar thanks to his intelligence and admiration for All Might. Like Izuku, he dreamed of becoming a hero despite not having a naturally strong quirk. And the newest episode reveals another parallel, making him feel even more like Deku than before.
