Summary
Jump Force brought characters from numerous Weekly Shōnen Jump manga series together in a 3D fighting game, with its story merging their fictional worlds with the real world.
The SteelBook prominently features Goku, Luffy and Naruto on one side, representing Dragon Ball, One Piece and Naruto. The opposite side depicts powered-up versions of the same three characters, while the interior combines environments from their respective series.
Release & Version Details
This is a standalone SteelBook rather than a standard retail game case. The exterior carries the Jump 50th Anniversary and Bandai Namco copyright markings together with “NOT FOR SALE”, identifying it as a promotional item.
Why It’s Significant
The SteelBook represents a particularly ambitious Shōnen Jump crossover and the magazine’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, bringing characters from multiple generations of influential manga into a single release.
Preservation Notes
