It’s the last Glowplasma talks about Weekly Shonen Jump video of 2025. I hope you all had a good year and enjoy my final thoughts on why Hima-Ten sucked this week. Why Akane-banashi means so much, and why The Elusive Samurai had the best character return ever!

It's Teusday & for many of you that means nothing in this context. But I see it as an opportunity to talk about Weekly Shonen Jump again. Here is Issue 39 of 2025, where Kumugi speaks up, Kill Blue reveals the big secret, & Hima-Ten's Himenono may not be as bad of a character as I thought!

Its been a while, maybe a bit too long since the last WSJ video. But hey does a few weeks late make up for the better audio? Either way here is WSJ 38 of 2025, where Kiyoshi wins the battle, Karashi takes being a student to heart, & where Kiri shows that see can swing a sword just as well as anyone.

Never in a million years did I think that Sheuisha would do a collaboration with Pokémon, but for the combined issue of 36-37 of 2025 they sure did. But as far as the chapters go, we see Spica go crazy over Ichi, Karashi start to tell his false classic, & watch as Himeno follows the idol to teacher career path.

Here Hina gets stranded in Kyoto, Gokuraku joins up with the Mantinel Witches Association, & Rocks D. Xebec shows the world a pirate unlike any other.

I normally don't record videos twice, but when I do the second version is always better. This Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 33 video is no exception. The first recording was 64 minutes long and just not fun. The second was 30 minutes shorter and more fun for me to record as well. I hope you all enjoy the video!!
