he Jump Festa It is an annual event in Japan that celebrates the publisher’s popular manga and anime franchises Shueishamainly those published in the magazine Weekly Shōnen jump. The eventusually takes place at the end of December and is an important exhibition to announce news and updates related to anime, manga, and video game series.
The most important thing about Jump Festa is that it brings together fans from all over the world and presents exclusive trailers, project announcements and new activities related to the most beloved series., such as “One Piece”, “Dragon Ball”, “Naruto” and many others. It’s also an opportunity for game studios and companies to showcase their products and connect with fans.
This is how we get to JUMP Festa 2024, which is already confirmed for December 16 and 17 and recently announced the panel lineup that will be presented during these two days (or at least the most important ones). Remember that important announcements are usually made during these panels. (although there has been significant disappointment in the past), the Chain Man is so excited to be present within the RED STAGEconsidered the most important part of the event.
To explain a little more, The JUMP Festa has so many franchises to present that it cannot be done one by one, but divided into three parts held at the same time, although fans are faced with deciding which conference to attend. These are divided into RED STEP, BLUE STEP and GREEN STEP, in that same order of importance.
Therefore, JUMP Festa 2024 has been confirmed with the following events (the list could be extended in the future):
- RED STEP: ONE PIECE; Academia Boku no Hero; Kaizen Jujutsu; Haikyu!!; SPY x FAMILY, Kaiju No. 8, Chain Man; The Prince of Tennis; Blue Exorcists; Rurouni Kenshin.
- Blue STEP: Blue Box; The elusive Samurai; Unluck Undead; Mission: Yozakura Family; Bleach; Gintama; Kimetsu no Yaiba; Dr STONE; MASHLE; Chain Soldier; Hokkaido Wales; Princess Torture; Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective; Dandadan; Jigokuraku; Global Trigger.
- GREEN STEP: SAKAMOTO DAYS, Me & Roboco; Akane Banashi; Boukyaku Battery; Seduction 2.5D; Magilumiere Co Ltd.; Red Cat Ramen; Oshi no Ko; Moriarty the Patriot; Dark Meeting.
Not only the presence of Chain Saw Man, which becomes again an opportunity for fans who are eager for news about a sequel to the anime adaptation. (or failing that, a confirmation of all previous leaks claiming there will be a second season and movie), Attention has also been drawn to the absence of important names during this next event.
Black Clover, Dragon Ball Super, and Boruto are not on this list, so some of them are disappointed by now. However, there is always the possibility that this list will be expanded in the future or that there are surprising announcements within the event itself, as has already happened in previous editions. The absence of One Punch Man is also important, considering that the third season has been announced for over a year.but no information has been revealed so far, fueling more rumours.
Summary for Chain Saw Man
The story takes place in a world where Demons threaten the peace of the people, making them targets for elimination. Denji is a depressed young man who sold some of his organs and works as a lumberjack and demon hunter to pay his late father’s debts. Denji (who is also a demon) has a dog named Pochita, who has a chainsaw and uses it to do his work.
This is explained by the fact that humans can make contracts with demons. After returning home from a job, Yakuza asks Denji to infiltrate a building and kill another demon. However, the plan to assassinate him turned out to be a trap as part of the Yakuza’s deal with the devil, which gained them more power. But Pochita comes to Denji’s aid and bonds with him, becoming half-man, half-demon and possessing Pochita’s chainsaw.
