In the initial sneak peek of the movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Sue vanishes invisibly, Johnny catches fire to soar through the darkened skies, and Ben speeds along city streets, preparing to attack an unknown enemy. However, Reed’s elastic abilities are curiously missing from the teaser. This omission stands out, especially since the trailer focuses on highlighting each character and demonstrating how their powers mirror their personalities – Sue acknowledges that Ben has always been as solid as a rock, even before their space incident, and Johnny is portrayed as hot-headed. Therefore, it’s not just a coincidence that Reed doesn’t elongate his body; instead, this move may be related to the character’s complex cinematic background.

From my perspective as an onlooker, the second installment of “One Piece” promises a rich tapestry of fresh heroes and antagonists. In this season, characters such as Smoker during the Loguetown visit are set to make their entrance, while we’ll also encounter villains like Crocodile, Mr. 3, and Wapol. Additionally, the Straw Hats will cross paths with potential future crew members like Tony Tony Chopper and Nico Robin. Although some of these characters already have actors assigned, the most notable absence is that of Chopper, the Straw Hat team’s doctor. A recent sneak peek has confirmed, however, that his appearance will be brought to life through computer-generated imagery (CG).

In the vein of following up on the popular “Budokai Tenkaichi” series (known as “Sparking!” in Japan), “Sparking! ZERO” boasts an enormous cast of characters hailing from various segments of the franchise, such as “Dragon Ball Z”, “GT”, “Super”, and the films. The game’s Episode Battles delve into the unique experiences of individual characters, with some like Goku receiving more comprehensive content.

In February 2025, Shonen Jump has revealed its schedule, which includes a new biweekly series by Boichi, titled “The Marshal King“. This series will make its debut on Shonen Jump+ on February 7th, 2025. Simultaneously, it will be released in English and Spanish on Manga Plus for readers worldwide. The promotional artwork for the series depicts a young man with long hair, much like Stanley Snyder from “Dr. Stone“, but this time, he’s wearing a fancy cowboy hat and twin holsters, fitting for the Wild-West backdrop.

As a gamer, I’ve been absolutely blown away by the success of that nostalgic anime fighter we got last October. In its first day alone, it flew off shelves, selling over 3 million copies! Since then, it’s continued to soar, adding an additional 2 million sales to its tally. To top it all off, this game has now set a new record as the fastest-selling Dragon Ball title on console – talk about a win for fans like me!
