Jump Force Anime or Manga Might Actually Happen

Bandai Namco

At E3 2018, anime fans were surprised when Bandai Namco released a new trailer fora fighting game that brings together their favorite anime heroes and villains together. Popular characters like Goku, Naruto, Luffy, Frieza, and even Death Note's Light Yagami were all featured in the trailer. Of course, more characters are expected to be revealed. Now, it looks like the mash-up won't just be limited to video games.

Bandai Namco's public relations manager Nick O'Leary was asked by Comicbook.com if a manga, anime or some other media based on Jump Force was in the works, and he said:

"Yeah, we'll be working with the licensers of Shonen Jump and Viz and all those kinds of companies to make this a big celebration of the 50th year anniversary of the magazine," O'Leary said, referring to the Shonen Jump magazine. "So expect things to be happening throughout the year and throughout the campaign."

It looks like Shonen Jump and Viz would have to approve the idea, and it's clear that Bandai Namco is willing to work with the companies to celebrate 50 years of shonen. There's a slim chance that they would be canonized though. But what do you think? Would you like to see a crossover anime/manga with all the characters of Jump Force?

Jump Force is expected to release in 2019.
