Just to get to witness one of the most popular Weekly Shonen Jump titles with an iconic idol group of Japan has effectively caused a spark in the hearts of fans, as they are now waiting to see what this collaboration has to offer.Still from the anime - Source: Studio MadhouseAll of this speculation and excitement started when Shonen Jump's YouTube channel uploaded a scheduled video. But they pulled a bold move by ensuring that they did not add any additional information. Fans were able to get some information from the thumbnail because it looks like the image features Phantom Troupe's imagery. And on top of that, it also seems like there is Chrollo Lucifer's iconic spider symbol, which has twelve legs.However, Hunter x Hunter fans are also interpreting this thumbnail design to look like an eye design, which could be a direct reference to Kurapika's Scarlet Eyes. So now there are new theories that this project could be focused on the Phantom Troupe. Additionally, many of them are also strongly speculating that this video could be a start before the franchise might also end up exploring the tragic backstory in the form of a movie.But what fans truly want is for the Hunter x Hunter anime to make a comeback. While these theories for now continue to remain just theories, fans are now awaiting to see what happens when the countdown runs out and see what the video has to offer, even if it was not about anime renewal. Fans are a little disheartened, but still seeing new content is seen as a positive move forward for this series.No anime news but Hunter x Hunter fans still have something to enjoyWhile many viewers were initially disappointed that the teaser was not announcing a new anime, most agreed that the collaboration is still a creative celebration of the franchise. Music videos have become an increasingly popular way for Weekly Shonen Jump to showcase its iconic series, and Hunter x Hunter is the latest title to receive this treatment.The collaboration also demonstrates that the franchise remains highly relevant even during breaks in manga serialization. Although there is still no official confirmation regarding a new anime, movie, or manga chapter, projects like this continue to keep Hunter x Hunter in the spotlight while giving fans fresh content to enjoy.
