Shonen Jump Announces Its Biggest Marvel Manga is Coming to an End

For years, North American comics and Japanese manga have influenced each other. Now, Marvel is joining the trend by partnering with Weekly Shonen Jump to release some of its popular heroes in manga format. Deadpool is leading the charge, with his manga, Deadpool: Samurai, recently continuing with new installments. However, there’s some disappointing news for fans of this anime-inspired series.

Beginning next week with chapter 26, the Deadpool: Samurai manga is heading towards its conclusion. This might be unexpected for readers, especially since the series recently returned after a long break, with writer Sanshiro Kasama and artist Hikaru Uesugi placing Deadpool in a classic anime setting. The manga remains Marvel’s most successful manga title, boosted by Deadpool’s enduring popularity and featuring both familiar and new versions of Marvel characters. While the final chapter details haven’t been released yet, fans should prepare for the series to end soon.

The Deadpool: Samurai series has gained popularity not only for Deadpool’s own antics, but also because it features crossovers with different anime universes. A major highlight was the team-up between Deadpool and All Might from My Hero Academia against Thanos. Although Deadpool hasn’t yet interacted with other characters from Kohei Horikoshi’s series, there’s a chance he will before the manga ends.

Recently, Deadpool stumbled into the world of World’s End Harem, a manga where a virus wiped out most of the male population. He almost decided to stay and live there, but instead sent an alternate version of himself into the world. This version, called “Wolverine-Pool,” combined Deadpool and Wolverine, creating a powerful enemy for Deadpool himself. However, even with their combined healing abilities, Wolverine-Pool couldn’t survive the dangers of World’s End Harem.

Whether Deadpool: Samurai will become an anime series or movie is still unknown. However, the story has enough content for either format. While Disney successfully experimented with anime through Star Wars: Visions, they haven’t yet done the same with Marvel. This manga could be a great opportunity to bring anime-style storytelling to the superhero universe. Marvel has produced anime adaptations before, featuring characters like Wolverine, Iron Man, and the X-Men, but it’s been a long time since those aired.

The final story arc for Deadpool: Samurai starts later this month! Share your thoughts in the comments and discuss it with other fans in the ComicBook Forum.
