Isn't that Baki the Grappler on the kid's belt, so wouldn't it be Shonen Ace or Champion or what have you? Ah, idk.

That's Weekly Shonen Champion, lol.
The kid even says so in the commercial, in the last part "Shukan Shonen Champion" and this is coming from someone who doesn't know japanese, apart from the few words I have learned through watching anime.

The video's title is 少年チャンピオンCMリベンジマッチ篇 (Shōnen Champion commercial Revenge Match Chapter), so it's a Champion thing.

Seeing Baki's art without forewarning is... surprising (let's call it that)

On a side-note, I thought that it was an announcement that Shōnen Jump is serialising a manga adaptation for Rockstar's game, Bully (a la, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's manga)

So yeah, those kids clearly say Shonen Champion at the end. And that was definitely Baki on the cover. So, you might want to either take down this article or completely change it.

LOL! Big misinformation!

Now Weekly Shonen Champion turned in Weekly Shonen Jump and Baki Dou turned into Toriko(or something of the genre).

I hope you correct this fast!

About the commercial:

Is funny how in the end is the Bullied kid that gets beaten! Anime hyper At least he tried.

Is that what the people who made the commercial think of Weekly Shonen Champion readers?
