Shonen Jump, the iconic manga magazine that gave the world Dragon Ball and One Piece, has seen its fair share of triumphs. Yet even such a powerhouse can falter, as one anime adaptation—dubbed its most disappointing—now faces the loss of a major streaming platform.

Time skips have become a staple in Shueisha’s longer-running Shonen Jump franchises, helping iconic series—such as Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball—stay fresh and engaging over multiple years. By shifting the timeline, each series is able to reinvent characters and storylines, ensuring that fans remain eager to see what happens next.
