Shueisha and The Pokemon Company have revealed that they will hold a crossover between Pokemon and Shonen Jump manga titles like One Piece and Blue Box. This collaboration will result in a massive illustration set to appear in the Weekly Jump issue set to appear in Japan in early August 2025.
The mangaka artists behind the magazine’s series are going to draw their titles’ respective main characters paired with a Pokemon each. The companies have also revealed the first three titles involved ahead of the actual manga magazine’s publication.
The first title to headline this major Pokemon crossover will be One Piece. Eiichiro Oda has drawn the title’s protagonist Monkey D. Luffy together with a Pikachu.
The other two titles revealed simultaneously are Blue Box and Me & Roboco. Kouji Miura drew the Blue Box heroine Chinatsu Kano with a Totodile, while Shuhei Miyazaki has paired Roboco with a Mega Blaziken.
The Shonen Jump editorial department has also published a full preview of the crossover on its social media account:
The Pokemon Company has been proactively holding crossovers between its franchise and many other major brands. Earlier in July 2025, the company had also revealed Pokemon collaborations with food outlet chains like McDonald’s and Baskin-Robbins.
The full Shonen Jump – Pokemon crossover illustration will appear in the 36th-37th joint major issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, which Shueisha will publish in Japan on Monday, August 4, 2025.
