Marvel Ends Major Shonen Jump Series With Controversial Final Chapter After 6 Years

by

Marvel recently concluded a six-year manga series, originally published in Shonen Jump, with a final chapter that has sparked controversy and effectively ended the storyline. This series was created through a unique collaboration between Marvel and Shueisha, bringing Marvel characters to life in a new way through manga. As this partnership winds down, the longest-running series from the collaboration has also reached its conclusion, and the ending has come as a surprise to many fans.

The sudden announcement of the final arc for Deadpool: Samurai after a year-long break already surprised fans, but the way the story ended was even more shocking. In a controversial finale, Deadpool literally blew up Shueisha’s building as his series concluded.

Deadpool: Samurai Takes Down Shueisha With Its Final Chapter

Chapter 26 of Deadpool: Samurai starts the epic final fight between Deadpool and his alternate selves, showcasing creative versions like Spider-Sakura and a Deadpool inspired by Thanos. The story reveals that Deadpool: Samurai was initially a very popular Marvel manga spin-off in 2021, but a controversial cover design led to a year-and-three-month hiatus and ultimately damaged its success.

The climax of Deadpool: Samurai takes an unexpected turn when the alternate versions of Deadpool reveal their real issue: they want to be published in a different magazine where they can have a fresh start. However, Deadpool explains the situation is more complicated than that. He clarifies that the creator is essentially working with leftover material, and the publisher, Shueisha, has most of the control. To prove his point, Deadpool even shows the other Deadpools the creator’s bank account. Seeing the financial realities, all the Deadpools decide to stop fighting.

Deadpool: Samurai Officially Ends After Six Years

With the various Deadpools starting to connect, Deadpool takes drastic action and destroys the Shueisha building. This shocking finale is seen as the creator expressing their frustrations with the series’ production, while also being a final nod to Shueisha’s other works. The final page specifically echoes a previous one-shot manga by Chainsaw Man‘s creator, Tatsuki Fujimoto, called Goodbye Eri, which had recently become a huge success in the manga community.

The finale of Deadpool: Samurai is definitely a bold and unexpected conclusion – exactly the kind of twist you’d expect from this series. The final chapter arrived abruptly, and it’s a shame the long break meant the spinoff couldn’t have been more substantial before the collaboration between Marvel and Shueisha ended.
