All of the mangaka in Jump have a single editor assigned to them, even before they debut as artists, and it's the editor's duty to push the mangaka in the direction they believe is best. Their relationships are usually somewhat contentious, but that's how it is; the mangaka is subject to the whims of their editor.

The editors push the mangaka very hard. Until a series is cancelled, it's the editor's job to do whatever it takes to keep the series going, whether that be experimentation, plot twists, or outright pandering. The mangaka work for Jump, not the other way around.

That's the Jump method, and always has been.

That applies to every series in the magazine.
