What an awful ending.
I'm not sure whether past "weird* jump" was better or worse than current "weird jump" (or even if the term is still relevant today with abundance of titles like chainsaw man, kaguya, or spy x family getting mainstream notoriety ; it may have never been a "thing" other than a marketing ploy in the first place, with all the other magazines for adolescents already publishing genuinely weirder shit), but it certainly was its own animal.
*fringe would've been better word
