Big news for Jump fans: Gintama creator Hideaki Sorachi is officially returning with a new manga, 2-nen B-gumi Yusha Destroyers (Class 2B Hero Destroyers), set to debut in Weekly Shonen Jump’s April 20 issue. This marks Sorachi’s first regular serialization since Gintama wrapped in 2019, and the fandom is already buzzing with speculation.
Early reports describe a classroom-based premise — think misfit students, chaotic quirks, and the kind of absurdist humor that made Sorachi’s previous work a global hit. While full plot details are still under wraps, the teaser set-up promises the familiar blend of parody, slapstick, and oddly sincere moments that Gintama fans live for. If Sorachi leans into that mix, we could be looking at one of the spring’s must-read series.
Why this matters: a returning heavyweight changes the scene. New serializations can shift magazine lineups, inspire fresh talent, and give readers a weekly reason to check Jump (and to argue passionately online). More than that, a new Sorachi series is a creative event — his voice shaped an entire era of manga comedy, and seeing what he does now is the real draw. Will he play it safe? Subvert expectations? Or go full-on bizarre in a way only he can? Those questions are half the fun.
Quick take for viewers: mark April 20 on your calendar. Whether you read raw scans, wait for official releases, or just want to watch reactions, the first chapter will set the tone. Expect memes, heated takes, and the kind of deep-dive threads that follow any Sorachi release. We’ll be reading, translating (where possible), and reporting early highlights — stay tuned.
