ultimo-ulate-oneshotIn the July issue of Jump SQ II, a special Ultimo chapter was released. However, this was not a normal chapter, but a spin-off of the Ultimo series. Officially the series is called “Ultimo Ulate” (機巧童子ULTIMO ULATE). However, this is most likely a misspelling of the word “urate,” which gives the series title more meaning.”Ultimo Urate” can mean “back door” or translate to “Behind Ultimo.” “Urate” also means “ugly” in Romanian. This story is not drawn by Hiroyuki Takei like the rest of the Ultimo series. Instead this is drawn by someone with the pen name of “JK.” This spin off story shows many of the Ultimo cast as children in the 5th grade. The chapter is only 23 pages long.

The regular series of Ultimo continues in Jump SQ each month. A new chapter of Ultimo will be released on July 4th in Japan, and will contain another color page. Ultimo volume 1 will be released on July 3rd in Japan, and will be featured on the Japanese TV show “Jump Bang!” the same day.
