Furthermore, with this year’s event set to be even more packed with series than the previous one, fans are anticipating Jump Festa 2024 to be an extraordinary experience. While unconfirmed rumors about certain series making appearances persist, fans can expect these speculations to gradually be unveiled in the weeks leading up to the event itself.

Follow along as this article fully breaks down the Jump Festa 2024 schedule, offers speculation on what to expect from each major series and their Super Stages, and more.

Jump Festa 2024 jam-packed with more than two dozen series set to appear

Day 1 schedule

Blue Box

Regrettably, there is currently limited information available about the Blue Box Super Stage for Jump Festa 2024. The convention's official website has stated that the panel's guests will be revealed at a later time. Similarly, without any existing rumors or speculation, it remains uncertain what the stage's main emphasis will be.

Haikyuu!!

The Haikyuu!! Final movie has fans eagerly anticipating new information, as it is set to be revealed during an upcoming event. While the specifics remain unknown, fans can expect a full trailer and release date to be unveiled, especially given the presence of the anime's main cast members such as Ayumua Murase (Shoyo Hinata), Kaito Ishikawa (Tobio Kageyama), Yuki Kaiji (Kenma Kozume), and Yuichi Nakamura (Tetsuro Kuroo).

Demon Slayer

Expect announcements regarding the highly anticipated Hashira Training arc adaptation at the Demon Slayer Super Stage during Jump Festa 2024. Fans are eagerly awaiting news about whether this will be the next canonical movie installment or if it will be transformed into a new season.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro Kamado), Kengo Kawanashi (Muichiro Tokito), Kana Hanazawa (Mitsuri Kanroji), and Saori Hayami (Shinobu Kocho) are likely to be involved in the news.

Due to the conclusion of the anime's second season coinciding with the event, Jujutsu Kaisen fans should not anticipate significant revelations from the Super Stage segment of the series. Any noteworthy announcements are likely to have a stronger emphasis on the manga rather than the anime.

Fortunately, fans can take solace in the fact that some of the show's main cast members will be in attendance. This includes Junya Enoki as Yuji Itadori, Yuma Uchida as Megumi Fushiguro, Yuichi Nakamura as Satoru Gojo, and Junichi Suwabe as Sukuna.

Dandadan

Blue Exorcist

The Dandadan Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024 currently has only one listed item: an important announcement. It is highly anticipated that this announcement will confirm the much-awaited anime adaptation of the series, which has gained immense popularity as one of Shueisha's top manga offerings.

The Blue Exorcist Super Stage, scheduled for January 2024, is expected to highlight the upcoming return of the anime, potentially featuring a trailer or key visual.

Fans can also anticipate a segment dedicated to the behind-the-scenes production, indicated by the participation of lead cast members Nobuhiko Okamoto (Rin Okumura), Jun Fukuyama (Yukio Okumura), Kana Hanazawa (Shiemi Moriyama), and Eri Kitamura (Kamiki Izumo).

Mashle

As January 2024 approaches, fans of Mashle are eagerly awaiting the release of season 2. During Jump Festa 2024, all attention will be on the anime's highly anticipated return. Exciting revelations such as a trailer or key visual reveal can be expected, along with discussions about the upcoming arc.

Undead Unluck

is vital as it remains in the same position:

Moreover, the inclusion of leading actors Chiaki Koabayashi (Mash Burnedead), Reiji Kawashima (Finn Ames), and Yuki Kaji (Rayne Ames) hints that the anime's production will also be extensively discussed.

The Super Stage is shrouded in uncertainty with the ongoing success of the Undead Unluck anime, which has taken the forefront in the Fall 2023 season. However, fans can anticipate an intriguing development as the official Jump Festa website tantalizes with the promise of a significant anime announcement. It is highly recommended for enthusiasts to stay tuned.

Starring voice actors Yuichi Nakamura (Andy), Moe Kahara (Fuko Izumo), Yuki Kaji (Rip Tristan), and Ayumu Murase (Chikara Shigeno) will also be present.

New Prince of Tennis

The Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024 for 'The New Prince of Tennis' is likely to showcase a trailer or key visual, hinting at the upcoming premiere in 2024. Although details about the anime are scarce, fans can expect the Super Stage to mainly focus on the new season. This is reinforced by the inclusion of notable voice actors such as Junko Minagawa (Ryoma Echizen), Ryutaro Okiayu (Kunimitsu Tezuka), Junichi Suwaba (Keigo Atobe), and Sachiko Nagai (Yukimura Seiichi).

The Elusive Samurai

Similarly, The Elusive Samurai's Super Stage will prioritize its upcoming 2024 anime, possibly unveiling a trailer or key visual. Additionally, the official Jump Festa website hints at a Q&A session with the attending cast members.

The present cast includes Asaki Yuikawa (Tokiyuki Hojo), Mari Hino (Kojiro), Sayumi Suzushiro (Ayako), Aoi Yuki (Kazama Genba), and Yuichi Nakamura (Suwa Yorishige).

My Hero Academia

The My Hero Academia Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024 will likely focus on the highly anticipated seventh season of the TV anime and the fourth film in the franchise. Fans can also look forward to a Q&A session with the talented cast members, including Daiki Yamashita (Izuku Midoriya), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Katsuki Bakugo), Ayane Sakura (Ochaco Uraraka), Kenta Miyake (All Might), and Kouki Uchiyama (Tomura Shigaraki).

Mission: Yozakura Family

The Super Stage for the Mission: Yozakura Family franchise will likely revolve around the upcoming 2024 anime. Much like other stages dedicated to showcasing their forthcoming anime productions, the primary focus is expected to be on the unveiling of a trailer and/or key visual. The confirmed attendees for the event include Reiji Kawashima (portraying Taiya Asano), Kaedo Hondo (taking on the role of Mutsumi Yozakura), Katsuyuki Konishi (portraying Kyoichiro Yozakura), and Akari Kito (bringing life to the character of Futaba Yozakura).

Day 2 schedule

Gintama

Sunrise Studios has confirmed that the voice actors of the main characters in Gintama are scheduled to make an appearance at Jump Festa 2024. The Super Stage event for the series is expected to pay homage to its influential status within the world of Shueisha anime and manga. While no significant announcements are anticipated, fans can still look forward to celebrating the legacy of Gintama.

Kaiju No. 8

The anime's main cast, consisting of Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki Sakata), Daisuke Sakaguchi (Shinpachi Shimura), and Rie Kugimiya (Kagura), will make fans excited at the very least.

The upcoming premiere of the Kaiju No. 8 anime in April 2024 suggests that the final release date and trailer for the series will be unveiled during the upcoming Super Stage event. Additionally, the official Jump Festa website hints at a significant announcement regarding both the anime and the manga. Notably, the event will feature appearances by several voice actors from the anime, including Masaya Fukunishi (Kafka Hibino), Wataru Kato (Reno Ichikawa), and Asami Seto (Mina Ashiro).

Bleach

The upcoming Bleach Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024 is expected to primarily highlight the highly anticipated third part of the TYBW anime series. Although there is a possibility of a Hell arc announcement for the manga, it is more likely to be revealed after the completion of the TYBW anime adaptation.

The presence of cast members including Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki), Noriaki Sugiyama (Uryu Ishida), Yuichiro Umehara (Jugram Haschwalt), and Yuki Ono (Bazz-B) is also claimed on the Jump Festa website.

Rurouni Kenshin

The appearance of Rurouni Kenshin at Jump Festa 2024 is expected to provide more insights into the upcoming second season of the anime adaptation. As the second cour of the anime is scheduled to conclude around the time of Jump Festa 2024, the Rurouni Kenshin Super Stage at the event is likely to focus on the future of the series. This is further reinforced by the anticipation of "important announcements" mentioned on the official Jump Festa website. The participation of the prominent voice actors, Soma Saito (Kenshin Himura) and Rie Takahashi (Kaoru Kamiya), adds weight to this expectation.

World Trigger

Given that the current arc of the World Trigger manga is nearing its climax, it is highly likely that the focus of the series' presence at the event will be on its manga version. This assumption is further reinforced by the absence of any anime-related announcements since the conclusion of the latest anime season last year. Nevertheless, we can expect the attendance of renowned voice actors such as Tomo Muranaka (Yuma Kuga), Yuki Kaji (Osamu Mikumo), Junichi Suwabe (Masataka Ninomiya), and Yuko Sanpei (Yuzuru Ema).

Spy x Family

Due to the ongoing broadcast of the second season of the Spy x Family anime series, it is expected that the Jump Festa 2024 Super Stage for the franchise will primarily focus on the remaining episodes of the season. This speculation is reinforced by the confirmed attendance of key voice actors Takuya Eguchi (Loid Forger/Twilight), Atsumi Tanezaki (Anya Forger), Saori Hayami (Yor Forger), and Kenichiro Matsuda (Bond Forger) during the panel.

Dr. Stone

The Dr. Stone anime's third season is scheduled to conclude during the same week as the upcoming event. Similarly, it is anticipated that the manga's special epilogue will conclude prior to the Super Stage event. Considering these factors, the panel is likely to be uneventful, despite the participation of prominent voice actors Yusuke Kobayashi (Senku Ishigami), Ryota Suzuki (Ryusui Nanami), Gen Sato (Chrome), Kengo Kawanishi (Gen Asagiri), and Kensho Ono (Ukyo Saionji).

Hell’s Paradise

Considering the fact that Hell's Paradise season 2 is already confirmed to be in production, it is highly likely that the Jump Festa 2024 Super Stage event will provide some basic information about the upcoming season. While it is unlikely to include a trailer or release date, there might be a teaser or key visual revealed during the panel. This speculation is further supported by the participation of prominent voice actors such as Chikahiro Kobayashi (Yamada Asaemon Shion), Yumiri Hanamori (Sagiri Yamada Asaemon), Ryohei Kimura (Chobei Aza), and Kensho Ono (Toma Yamada Asaemon).

Chainsaw Man

Amidst the anticipation surrounding Jump Festa 2024, the burning question on everybody's lips is whether the announcement eagerly awaited by fans will finally come to fruition: the revelation of Chainsaw Man season 2. Adding to the excitement, the official website for the event tantalizingly hints at the possibility of an "important announcement" being disclosed during the panel.

It certainly appears probable, especially considering that voice actors Kikunosuke Toya (Denji), Tomori Kusunoki (Makima), Shogo Sakata (Aki Hayakawa), and Fairouz Ai (Power) are also part of the cast.

Ron Kamonohashi

Due to the series sharing its time with another, the Ron Kamonohashi Super Stage panel is expected to have limited content. The official Jump Festa website confirms this, stating that the main highlight will be a talk-session featuring the talented voice actors Yohei Azakami (Ron Kamonohashi) and Junya Enoki (Totomaru Isshiki).

‘Tis Time For Torture, “Princess"

'Tis Time for Torture, the former series, will be sharing its stage time with "Princess" at Jump Festa 2024 Super Stage. This presents an even more challenging situation for "Princess," as it will need to convey important information within a limited time frame.

In any case, the most will likely be made of it, with starring voice actresses Haruka Shiraishi (Princess) and Shizuka Ito (Torture Tortura) set to appear.

Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!

Hokkaido Gals are incredibly cute! Additionally, they will be dividing their time between their appearance at the Super Stage at the convention. Similar to the series they are sharing their time with, the anime adaptation of the franchise is scheduled to premiere in January 2024, indicating that information about the anime will likely be promptly shared during their allotted time.

The voice actors attending the event include Nobunaga Shimazaki (Tsubasa Shiki), Ayane Sakura (Minami Fuyuki), Yumiri Hanamori (Sayuri Akino), and Reina Ueda (Rena Natsukawa).

Chained Soldier

One Piece

Chained Soldier, a former series, will also have its anime adaptation premiering in January 2024. Similar to the aforementioned series, the primary focus of this Jump Festa 2024 Super Stage will be to maximize the sharing of information about the upcoming anime within the given time. The event will feature the attendance of Yuya Hirose (Yuki Wakura), Akari Kito (Kyouka Uzen), and Maaya Uchida (Tenka Izumo), who are all part of the main cast.

Continuing with tradition, the final Super Stage at Jump Festa 2024 will showcase the widely popular series, One Piece, created by Eiichiro Oda. As always, a number of the iconic Straw Hat Pirates will grace the event, although some will be noticeably absent. Excitingly, attendees can anticipate tantalizing glimpses into the future of the anime and manga, along with a special message from Oda to his dedicated fans.

Stay updated on the latest news regarding anime, manga, films, and live-action productions throughout the course of 2023.
