Gege Akutami , the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen , is enjoying a quieter period after the manga in 2024. However, the artist remains active and surprised fans by releasing exclusive artwork for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure .
- The secret to defeating the Orchestrator is hinted at in Dandadan
- The Beginning After the End Ep. 8: Arthur's return
In the upcoming issue of JoJo Magazine 2025 Summer , Akutami lends his talent to illustrate Kishibe Rohan , one of the franchise's most iconic characters. Furthermore, the author shared his admiration for Part 4, Diamond Is Unbreakable , highlighting: “ I like the refreshing realism of Part 4 compared to the previous ones. I think Josuke's line to Okuyasu sums it up well: 'I thought you didn't need to die '”.
Other manga artists participate in the tribute
It's not uncommon to see great artists paying homage to the works of their colleagues. After all, Eiichiro Oda has drawn characters for Dragon Ball , while Hirohiko Araki illustrated ninjas for Naruto . Similarly, Kohei Horikoshi also created artwork for Jujutsu Kaisen .
This time, in addition to Akutami, other manga artists contributed to the special publication. Among them are Chica Umino ( March Comes In Like A Lion ), Bkub Okawa ( Pop Team Epic ), Shiwasu Hoshikawa ( Bungo Stray Dogs ), Aki Mochida ( A Story To Read When You First Fall in Love ), and Yajima ( The Old Man Who Was Reincarnated as a Cat ).
A spin-off of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Kishibe Rohan, is coming to Japanese theaters
Meanwhile, Kishibe Rohan gains even more prominence with the live-action film Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: Confessional , which adapts one of his most sinister adventures. However, it is unlikely that the film will reach Western cinemas, but it should eventually be available, as happened with the TV series.
Finally, fans are also eagerly awaiting the premiere of the anime JoJo's Bizarre Steel Ball Run , which has already been confirmed, although without a set date yet. Therefore, stay tuned, as many new developments in the world of Stands and curses are coming soon!
