Greed Island After Party Recap
Greed Island after party was amazing and it was my first one in history. This event was after AwesomeCon 2025 on Saturday April 6, 2025. It was hosted by Plus Ultra Entertainment, a blerd multimedia company that deals with cosplay, podcast and photography. Plus Ultra Entertainment is located in National Harbor, Maryland. PUE produces inclusive nerd space and highlights culture, I went there during their opening in 2024. All I have to say, I was in heaven and very proud of them, especially its owned by people like me. Anywho Greed Island AfterParty, this was based on Yoshihiro Togashi’s Hunter X Hunter story arc Greed Island. For those who don’t know about storyline is, Greed Island is a video game that Gon Freecss and Killua Zoldyck comes to find clues on Ging Freecss (Gon’s father).
Killua and Gon is trained by Biscuit Krueger who learn Nen from. Both major characters complete games and Gon reunite with his father Ging. Plus Ultra Entertainment is brought it to us with video games like Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero, Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 and Mario Party 8. There is a Beyblade and I couldn’t get use to the launcher, but someone showed me. I haven’t seen Beyblade in years since 2001 anime with Tyson Granger. Had the Beyblade PS1 along with Gameboy Advance version that adapts V-Force and G-Revolution. If you can’t know what Beyblade is, it’s a spinning top toy developed by Takara Tomy. Takara Tomy is located in Japan and known for Zoids and Transformers. The Afterparty had free drinks and food in the bar.
Greed Island After Party Dance and Fun
Greed Island AwesomeCon 2025 Afterparty was located at 701 7th st NW, Washington DC 2001 at District E. District E was apart of Regal Movie Theater at Gallery Place Chinatown. There were some sponsors like YOJU, which is an American Soju Cocktail drink company. YOJU handed free drinks to partygoers and swag with glasses along with card featuring Hunter X Hunter characters. Speaking of that District E has a big screen at the bar. There was Hunter X Hunter Greed Island episodes playing, while partygoers enjoy their drinks. A free photo booth that I took pictures in and I hope they post it on their page. There was some amazing music from the DJ and dancing like a twerking Raven from Teen Titans cosplayer.
I will not post that one on YouTube, Instagram and Tik Tok due to terms of service. The founded of Plus Ultra Entertainment was holding it down. There was a cosplay contest and I love Uzi Tengen cosplayer from Demon Slayer. It was so funny all of the female cosplayers wanted to be his wives. The winners receive a ticket to the Villain Ball and $100 cash prize. Give it up to the all the cosplayers who join the contest. Speaking of that, there was some special guest like Yuugoku, Baenay, Black Crystal Cosplay and Skye Marinda. I always join the Tekken 8 tournament and loss a match. It was my first time using Clive Rosfield for season 1 of Tekken 8 DLC. His moveset is so much better than Noctis from Tekken 7.
Greed Island After Party Gaming
I put off combos like no other and Clive is turning to one of my favorite characters in the game. The person I was playing with had Hwoarang and beat me. Currently, I am on a budget right now and can’t buy the game just yet. I am waiting for all the DLC content to become available then buy it. Same goes for Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero, which I had fun playing and learning how to play the game in tutorial mode. I did get to play in Blerdcon 2025 on the week of my birthday. There were more games like Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Gang Beasts. I glad to play Mario Kart 8 and was Pauline (she was introduce in Wave 4 in DLC pack). Since Mario Kart World coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in June 5, 2025, this was a sendoff to that.
There was a balloon filled with PUE ballons which you can go in and a zipper that goes in or out. Overall, this was the best Afterparty I ever went too. PUE has gone beyond that I was anticipating. For those who don’t know what Plus Ultra Entertainment got the name from. Plus Ultra is a phrase comes from Kohei Hokikoshi’s My Hero Academia manga that one of the characters All Might quotes. I hope to go more events in the near future and especially for blerds and nerd alike. AwesomeCon 2025 was fun and got to saw The Goonies reunion in the main stage. I took photos of some cosplayers and eat some Chicken Tenders with fries. Also went to the artist alley, with Honkai Star Rail booth and merchandise. I played some Marvel Rivals until 8pm and headed to the event.
Closing
Greed Island AwesomeCon 2025 Afterparty was every otaku’s dream. After ordering a Uber to go home and relax. I told myself, I have to go to more PUE events and they had a screening of A Silent Voice on Sunday. Didn’t attend due to me being tired to the party and spend the weekend watching Devil May Cry 2025 along with Digimon Adventure Tri Reunion. I haven’t finishing watching Tri yet due to slow loading of video play on 9anime website. National Cherry Blossom is the same month as AwesomeCon 2025 and Hands Off Protest. I didn’t want to think about what is going on in outside world. There is Sakura Matsuri 2025 next week after AwesomeCon 2025, sadly I will not be attending this one. I don’t want to stand in a long line to get food and was drained from AwesomeCon.
No Sakura Matsuri 2025 for me sorry and I am not going to AwesomeCon 2026 next year due to Blerdcon 2026. I am not going to two convention back to back sorry, didn’t it once with Conjustu 2025 and Otakon 2025. I need to rest and stay home for those weekend to save money.
