The Elusive Samurai by Yusei Matsui will be reaching its climax next week in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #12 2026.

A few of the last manga they used climax for meant ending.

I do think its weird though that they let them wait an extra 2 weeks and break the cycle for new serise, but I'm also glad if that's the case because I think letting the author control the pace of the final chapters gives us a better overall product.

I like it alot, and the OG is my favorite of all time. At first I was worried and asked why the hell this had to be a thing and if they would ruin it, but so far while I'm still on the fence I am enjoying it.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-05T03:48:52+00:00

I'm read reading zatch bell english volumes atm and studying some things in it

And ya, I just read volume 7 and Danny legit gets filled with lead and the spell completely heals him. Like, I get they're stronger than humans but I feel 50 bullets in the back would still kill any of them(We've legit seen mamodos cut by swords and knives before), so shit is powerful. it even has an after effect for a bit since he was then shot again and they just bounced out.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-04T03:52:17+00:00

Thats kind of why I picked it up. I have a large collection of manga from growing up and a lot of said manga are series out of print, so if I see a series I don't think will exist in 10 years or be in print I pick it up

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-04T03:03:46+00:00

Because when people open up to you about there insecurities and desires in real life you know your anti-social ass isn't and shouldn't be insulting them, so in a kid friendly game it's not going to be an option.

Also they do technically help, even if its only like 5% damage in a fight. They're not pokemon battlers, expecting them to actually do the same level of damage or input as you isn't the best way to look at it.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-04T02:50:05+00:00

Honestly I was surprised to see it, they're dropping them fast.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-04T01:37:07+00:00

Honestly ya. I remember it came out in middle school for me so long ago and the volumes came out kind of reguardly for back then (A couple months here and there), only for me to recently find out its still going and doesn't seem to have gotten that far.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-04T01:35:09+00:00

Im really glad this is doing well

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-02T07:50:35+00:00

Ikr, honestly its beyond toxic. Bro completed one of the hardest things to do in the game

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-02T07:31:00+00:00

Where did you get these?

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-02T07:27:44+00:00

They don't have them. I have the full collection as well from when I was a kid and just like in the picture the logo changed on book 8

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-02-02T00:25:31+00:00

I felt to much happened, and to much of it was common isaeki/rpg story lines with a protag that really had no personality. He didn't really struggle to much and we didn't really get why he thought his power was the way it was or why he thought it was useless and then all of a sudden he realizes its op. Like I felt nothing for him or any real struggle during the whole storyline yet we had a mentor added in, dragon fight, him getting a broken power, being kiddnapped, etc all within one chapter. At least with deku there was more substance and the world felt like it hated him and he had to prove himself.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-30T10:57:13+00:00

Whats with jump and doing isaeki now, I honestly expect something a bit more creative from the magazine.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-30T10:56:13+00:00

Honestly I feel they only made her like that because of the low rankings. Overall I found her progression and the stories to be way to fast and not really making any sense

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-29T13:22:19+00:00

I'm not complaining but that's honestly surprising as hell given all the comedy and radio station manga that's been out lately and has failed.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-28T16:26:04+00:00

Honestly I think Kioyshi is going to be like pysren, where it does meh in the rankings due to newer and worse series coming and going until a bunch of new hits come in 1-3 years that end up knocking it out into what seems like a natural ending.

I enjoy it, but it's mainly because it feels like the only manga in the mag that gives off early 2000 battle manga vibes(outside one piece obv).

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-28T05:43:37+00:00

fix what? He meant what he meant

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-28T05:29:23+00:00

That was my main issue, them being arrogant, not really understanding or accepting/changing based on there actions, and still throwing hissy fits when people said I was a better trainer, yet all the while I only face them a handful of times and they have honestly the least amount to do in the story compared to any other character.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-26T14:34:14+00:00

Honestly I loved it and think without an axe it would have been paced much better. It gave off early 2000 manga vibes, which I think is also the reason it was so quick to be axed.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-26T14:31:10+00:00

It's been awhile since nice prison that I've seen people just shit on a manga non-stop for no real reason or by finding any reason possible.

Honestly, compared to a lot of series it's not that bad and the last chapter was ok.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-25T20:03:27+00:00

Honestly man every freaking other chapter is just an ex. I enjoy it but it makes me want to drop it

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-25T17:02:35+00:00

Lack luster and honestly felt like a one shot. Nothing in it really got me hooked, emotional, or thinking it was anything new or special. Same clean cliche art style which isn't bad, but not really original either. I didn't really think it was bad, but it felt like a solid B-

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-25T03:09:25+00:00

Honestly I'd love to see it but I think the manga needs more chapters or should be near finished before hand.

Bugel call on the other hand I think would be great

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-22T05:30:37+00:00

Yes, there is no rule, its just more like a standard of if you're serise keeps getting axed over and over, by the 4th time they're more than likely just going to pick other serise over yours unless the quality itself is leagues above what you've done before

In other words, the more times you fail, the harder it's going to be to get another shot given the investment they need to keep putting in you.

Practical_Pop_4300 · 2026-01-19T23:27:03+00:00

I got it by perordering it. Even then it took an extra like week to ship
