History
This section requires expansion.
Saikyo Jump began as a special collaborative quarterly publication between Weekly Shonen Jump and V Jump, marking their first joint venture since e-Jump in December 1999. The first issue was released on December 3, 2010, as a Winter edition, featuring three completely original titles and seven spin-off manga from series in Weekly Shonen Jump and V Jump. The subsequent issues followed in April 2011 (Spring edition), August 2011 (Summer edition), and October 2011 (Autumn edition).
On December 3, 2011, Saikyo Jump evolved into an independent monthly magazine. Concurrently, One Piece's author Eiichiro Oda crafted the mascot character, and through a public competition, the name was chosen as "Pharaoh".
