| abstract | - The Gold Future Cup (金未来杯, Kimu Mirai-hai) is a yearly one-shot manga competition in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. It is held in a series of 4-7 consecutive issues of Jump with a different entrant in each issue. The one-shots are not only put up against each other, but the other series in the magazine as well. During the Gold Future Cup, there is an option on the reader survey cards asking if readers would support the series or not. The one-shots ranking in the magazine, as well as it's support count, determines the victor. One-shots that do well in the Gold Future Cup have a good chance at serialization. Former winners include Nura, Rise of the Yokai Clan (2007) and Beelzebub (2008).
