The issue, released July 13, also contained the final chapter of Kouji Miura's Blue Box. Despite Shueisha increasing the print run by 500,000 copies, copies vanished from stores and resold at inflated prices. In response, Shueisha announced a made-to-order reprint of Issue #33 through the Jump Characters Store, though the reprint will not include the promotional card. The publisher also canceled the planned Charlotte Pudding One Piece Card Game bonus card that was scheduled for V Jump's October 2026 issue. Going forward, One Piece Card Game promotional cards will be suspended across Weekly Shonen Jump, V Jump, and Saikyo Jump while Shueisha reviews its bonus item plans and sales methods. Readers unable to purchase Issue #33 will receive compensation: Issue #35 will include two campaign tickets for the ongoing Jump Ticket Rally Challenge, with the application deadline unchanged at July 31. The previously announced Everyone Wins mail-in campaign for the Straw Hat Crew's Three Strongest Set Cards will proceed as scheduled.","whyItMatters":"The inability of a 500,000-copy print increase to prevent scalping has forced Shueisha to halt its entire One Piece Card Game magazine promotion program, signaling a major reassessment of how the publisher bundles collectible items with periodicals.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eShueisha added half a million extra copies of Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #33 before its July 13 release, anticipating demand for the exclusive Monkey D. Luffy One Piece Card Game card. The issue still sold out immediately, with copies appearing on resale markets at inflated prices, leaving many readers without access to the magazine\u0026#39;s other content, including the final chapter of Blue Box. The apology, posted to the official Weekly Shonen Jump X account on July 17, outlined multiple corrective measures. The made-to-order reprint will be sold only through the Jump Characters Store and will omit the promotional card. Shueisha noted that V Jump\u0026#39;s September issue, which goes on sale July 21, will still carry advertising for the now-canceled Charlotte Pudding bonus card because production deadlines prevented last-minute changes. The Everyone Wins mail-in campaign for the Straw Hat Crew\u0026#39;s Three Strongest Set Cards will continue as planned. The suspension of One Piece Card Game promotional cards across Weekly Shonen Jump, V Jump, and Saikyo Jump is indefinite while Shueisha reviews its approach to bonus items and magazine distribution.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Shueisha added 500,000 copies of Weekly Shonen Jump #33-and still sold out to scalpers.
