Advertise on podcast: Let’s Talk About Weekly Shonen Jump!

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! Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 2:43 Ranking the Chapters - 58:46 Outro - 1:02:33

Funnily enough it’s been just over a year since the list “mini” episode of Let’s Talk About Weekly Shonen Jump. But here we are a year later to discuss only five series from issue #44; Akane-banashi, Ping Pong Peril, The Elusive Samurai, Ichi the Witch, and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo!! Intro - 0:00 Ichi the Witch - 4:45 Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo - 15:32 Ping Pong Peril - 23:45 Akane-banashi - 33:58 The Elusive Samurai - 41:26 Outro - 48:08

After 7 weeks Glowplasma finally gets around to discussing Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 43 of 2025. Here team Desscaras gets some new rides, Keigo decides to love himself, Akane realises Issho’s teaching, and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo makes me get emotional over a tiger. I hope you all enjoy one of the best podcast episodes I have ever made!

Well it took me three weeks to edit this video on weekly shonen jump manga. This is issue 42 of 2025 where Akane walks on stage, Desscaras deals with a waiter, and Himari just wants a hug. Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 2:25 Ranking the Chapters - 50:11 Outro - 52:28

I promise that I know how to read manga. However, only manga that came out seven weeks ago. Today I discuss Weekly Shonen Jump issue 41 of 2025. Here Jujutsu Kaisen starts its alien spin-off, Jikishirone has an unfortunate run in, Ekiden Bros makes me like a character, and Hima-Ten’s Kanna needs to put some clothes on.

Another Tuesday, another two week late video on Weekly Shonen Jump. This week I tackle issue #40 where Jikishirone gets a new prophecy, Chinatsu gives a commencement speach, & Kill Blue ends its run. Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 1:43 Ranking the Chapters - 42:49 Outro - 47:30

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! Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 2:26 Ranking the Chapters - 46:30 Outro - 52:35

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. Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 3:07 Ranking the Chapters - 36:27 Outro - 39:29

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. Intro - 0:00 WSJ x Pokemon Collab Spread - 1:36 Rambling about the Chapters - 7:45 Ranking the Chapters - 1:02:10 Outro - 1:07:46

Weekly Shonen Jump issue 35 of 2025 is here. So in typical fashion I discus all 14 series I read in the magazine. Here Himari & Iemori go on a date, Taira starts to play Ping Pong Peril in a bathhouse, & Oka fights his clone. That last event still gets me. Enjoy the video. Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 1:50 Ranking the Chapters - 42:44 Outro - 46:20

With Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 34 of 2025 upon us. I decided to do the one thing that I'm good at. That would be talking about some manga. 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. Hope you all enjoy the video/podcast thing.(I also forgot to add music ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 1:56 Ranking the Chapters - 35:09 Outro - 40:00

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!! Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 2:16 Reranking the Chapters - 31:29 Outro - 32:54

Weekly Shonen Jump issue 32 of 2025 is here. I mean it has been here for a week now but we dont talk about that part. Either way, here we see Tiara get his start in the world of Ping Pong Peril, We see Gokuraku get set free from his country, & see Kyo help Ayame for his own satisfaction! Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 3:08 Ranking the Chapters - 49:52 Outro - 53:32

Weekly Shonen Jump issue thirty-one of twenty twenty five. Here Genba legend is told, We discover the way to win the Zunin Prize, Gokuraku turns down an invitation, & Beethoven apparently harms the world. Enjoy the video! Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 2:42 Ranking the Chapters - 1:17:03 Outro - 1:25:06

Would you look at that, it’s another week late video on Weekly Shonen Jump. I know just how surprising it is. In this 30th issue of 2025, we see Haitani’s soccer journey conclude in Embers, King Harald’s flashback begin in One Piece, the residents of Kagami cry in Ichi the Witch, & in the Elusive Samurai see Genba take on the Sadamune family once more. Hope you enjoy it! Intro - 0:00 Rambling about the Chapters - 2:59 Ranking the Chapters - 1:07:06 Outro - 1:13:00
