I'd be happy just with Flowers coming back.
>>
>>151918790
I wonder because its the 20th anniversary next year. I heard something about flowers coming back in some form or another

>>151918110
doubtful, but at least >>151918790 might be true

Hopefully not.

I still liked the flashback arc the best. It was just so melancholy and Matamune was great.
Shame it went downhill so fast after that arc.

Also it got pretty gay near the end.
>>
>>151923951

Takei couldn't hide his lust for shota anymore. At least he could go full out in Ultimo with it so that he his satisfied for years.

is all of ultimo ripped yet?
>>
>>151918790
Flowers was shit.
>>
>>151923951
it was certainly the high point of the series but the star festival stuff and the last arc were good too
>>
>>151924188
Well the power of friendship didn't really do jack in the end.
It was more Hao's mom bitch slapping him that made him decide not to kill everyone.
>>
read this when I was 8 after seeing the show on 4kids and fell in love

reread it last year and forgot how like diverse this shit is and how deep it goes into how the religious n cultural stuff forms itself in the series

No idea.

>>
>>151924312
Well I sure loved the train rolling up with everyone.

And then all that OP bullshit didn't even matter because money rules the world.
>>
>>151924568
I did like that it revealed that not even Hao and the fire spirit could truly kill souls. I was pretty sad that he apparently just super killed that one lady but then she appeared on the train at the end.
>>
My biggest complaint about Shaman King was just how rushed it got near the end. Characters were getting and dropping new power ups left and right. Power levels were rising all over the place. They got all the primal spirits off screen. Hell, it seemed we were gonna get a cool battle with Enma, but then that happened off screen.

And I think when they made death stop mattering, a fair amount of the stakes went away. Sure there was still Hao and his overwhelming strength, but otherwise death even became comical. Hell, during the fight between the main characters, Yoh got his arm broken off and everyone was like "Hey, lets just have a battle to the death! For fun!"
It was wierd
>>
man what does dude do anymore? he had one main success and just kinda fell off the map
>>
>>151924790
He worked on a collaboration manga with Stan Lee.

Srsly
>>
>>151924732
>They got all the primal spirits off screen.
And it got like one page of exposition.

"Oh yeah this difficult thing we've been building up for a bunch of chapters? We did it, here you go."

>>151924790
I dunno, He was working on a sequel but the magazine it was published in died so it died too.
>>
>>151924732
well it was cancelled for like 4 years and it's comeback was just a reprint with 17 extra chapters so it's rushed ending can't be helped

I didn't mind the death has no meaning stuff either, the hell training was cool and then there's Yoh's speech about having a future

>>151924790
he gets work often actually, since shaman king he had an unsuccessful manga that was later rebooted witch ended last year along with >>151924835 and >>151924881 and right now I think he has some kids manga and a manga about a cat samurai running and he may have plans to continue Sk but we'll have to wait till next year to find out about that
>>
>>151924881
>He was working on a sequel but the magazine it was published in died so it died too.
Kind of a shame, I remember hearing the manga was actually doing well on its own.
>>
After the success of Ushio to Tora the pres of MAPPA said they wanted to do more "hot-blooded 90's shonen anime" and mentioned Shaman King by name. It's not guaranteed but i think it's fair to be hopeful.
>>
>>151925163
If they do Shaman King, I hope they iron out the pacing issues it ran into after the revival.
>>
>>151925163
Don't do this to me Anon.

I hope so too man. MAPPA does good work and they seem passionate about the amine they make. If anyone can do it right it's them.

>And I think when they made death stop mattering, a fair amount of the stakes went away.
I think it was quite intelligent actually since the show since a long time ago was repeating that battles are meaningless since no matter what happens Hao will win.
And when you get to the end Hao becomes Shaman King and destroys everyone, the only thing they could was convince him to give them a chance to show him that humanity is not as shitty as he thinks.
There were never any stakes, Hao was gonna win and he won, powerlevels ultimately became irrelevant.
>>
>>151925346
I can't remember where i saw it. I think it was a clip in a Mother's Basement video. It was a while ago sorry.
>>
>>151925224
Believe me I'm a huge Shaman King fan. I wouldn't lie about this.
>>
I always hated that all the nudity that happened near the end was censored with just random bullshit. There was one time that there was just a star over Hao's crotch that wasn't actually anything in the story. Just a random star. But Imma fag so...
>>
But the anime ended before it went to shit. What better do you want?
>>
>>151926349
I dunno, I really liked the shaman who used the ghost of a fucking alien, even if she did only appear in two chapters.

Takei does the craziest shit but somehow makes it work together really well.
>>
>>151926942
She was the cutest.
>>
>>151927164
Wasn't she the only one who didn't die?
>>
>>151928223
Well everyone died in the world died

Its just Yoh and Co had the primal spirits when their ghosts met Hao in the afterlife.
>>
>>151928307
I think hao only killed shamans actually, or maybe just people who were nearby since none of the vol1 characters who weren't ghosts appeared at then end

she was also brought up and even got a chapter cover in flowers too
>>
>>151918110
Probably not :(

>>151918790
Flowers can rot in hell
>>
>>151924182
>we'll never get more grown up Tamao
Good riddance to that trash
>>
>>151923951
Osorezan Revoir is ridiculously overrated
It's a good arc but by no means the best

The end was fine
It fit the series perfectly and I got all nostalgic when they showed (almost?) every character in the series in the end(even remembering those dead students from the early chapters)
>>
>>151924312
Wrong and way to miss the point
It was precisely because of Yoh(and Matamune who played a part in instilling those values in him) that things happened the way they did

The mom thing was just Hao clearing being let free of his biggest regret

And if anything Flowers proved that Yoh convinced Hao to not kill the world since Yoh and Anna died and he still didn't nuke the world...basically Hao was just full of hot air and just had to get one over Yoh after a 1000 years
>>
>>151928784
flowers implied the Hao might not've changed completely with the "He gave Hana a special kind of evil" thing
>>
>>151924732
It's more like Takei got lazy
He skipped Byakko Yoh vs Kurobina Hao too
>tfw an anime adaptation might fill in these gaps

>And I think when they made death stop mattering
That is a fucking belief in Shamanism
Enough with this juvenile bullshit

And on their way to fighting the Patch the whole revival thing was clearly showing how limited the technique was due to how much Furyoku it used so I don't get why people keep complaining about this shit
>>
>>151924790
After finishing Shaman King he did too much crystal meth and turned into a fucking retard

he didn't skip it, it just didn't happen, it didn't need to either and well Yoh would've been a match for Hao anyway, the whole point of making Hao so strong was so nobody=y could touch him and the only way to defeat him would be to change his heart
>>
>>151928844
Meh it's a bait and switch
>>
>>151918110
No, it isn't that popular.
>>151918790
I guess it's divided, but the idea with flowers needed more development, as the way it was left the character was maturing. And so far was unlikeable and annoying.
>>151928597
I read it when I was in the dumps and I guess that's part of why I remember it so fondly.
>>
>>151929010
But it was clearly fucking hyped
And plenty of people fought Hao anyways(like Anna...whose fight got mostly skipped REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)

Like it could have been just a fight with Hao toying around with him and then telling him to "become stronger"...anything would have been better than the shit we got(or in this case didn't)
>>
>>151929131
Anna hijacking those overpowered guardian spirits was fucking awesome.
>>
>>151929112
The chapter I'm fondest of is...I believe chapter 24
When Yoh lets Tokageroh possess him

That shit was touching as hell and no chapter better defines Yoh's selfless character

>Viz
Reminder that the Viz version of Shaman King...not only is incomplete but it's a piece of censored policitally correct dogshit

>>151929131

>state Hao is unbeatable multiple times
>survive a space lazer
>has a counter for everything
>can read minds
>can change the element of his fucking god
creature
it would've been the most pointless fight ever, and even gone against the way yoh usually does things

the anna fight was skipped because it would've been boring and one sided too

I don't see how a fight can be hype if one character is so far above the other that it
becomes a meaningless waste of time
>>
>>151929282
I just read through the viz and it isn't that bad at all they changed a few names and got rid of chocloves nigger lips, really the worst change was ponchi's balls becoming nothing calm down, it's still the highest quality scan out there for the majority of the series, MT didn't even get that good until KZB
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVNR6SaUiOo
>>
>>151929131
I used to think that way. But as some people have stated, Hao is invincible and basically the plan changed to please not kill us and humans are assholes but they our my assholes and what would your mama say.
>>
>>151929428
And Ponchi mostly started covering up later, anyways.

Mostly.

>>
>>151929316
>and even gone against the way yoh usually does things
Duh
Hao would be the one to provoke it(by attacking either Yoh or someone else)

Like I said
It would be just Hao messing with Yoh for a while

It was just Takei getting lazier and lazier...it didn't show up in only the form of many fights being skipped either. The art got more and more simplistic as time went on

>the anna fight was skipped because it would've been boring and one sided too
Horseshit
Anna was keeping him from doing damage and impressed Hao enough to question her "true form"(to the point where Anna cried out for Yoh to come so she doesn't have to do it)

I think it might have been a subtle indication that Anna is a reincarnation of Hao's mom from Takei
>>
>>151929428
The translation is cringe like most Viz translations

>MT didn't even get that good until KZB
It wasn't just Mankin-Trad
Many scanlation groups did Shaman King...Mankin-Trad came out very late after Manga-Rain dropped it iirc
>>
>>151929449
Again you don't even get what I'm saying
It could have been a fight provoked by Hao just to fuck with Yoh

Like it could have been Hao targeting Manta for shits and giggles and Yoh getting pissed off and then they would have a short fight and Hao would retreat like a badass
>>
>>151929584
but that would't be cool, Yoh would't be able to contend it would nothing more than him getting smacked around with Hao doping a complement every once and awhile

with Anna, Hao admitted he was holding back to not hurt her and by the time Yoh showed up she was almost finished, also Hao's mother's spirit is still around so she can't be his reincarnated mother

>>151929636
and anything not done by those two suck ass the viz translations have issues but they're fine
>>
This is the only series I own every volume of. Man, I remember being so excited to go to the bookstore and grab the newest one. I liked that Hao actually won I just wish it didn't just end like that though

>>151929750
>with Anna, Hao admitted he was holding back to not hurt her
Of course he did(he wasn't using Kurobina) but she still reduced him to considering eating the Hanagumi's souls

>and anything not done by those two suck
Not true
Most of them were acceptable...the only bad ones were those shitty Chinese translations for some of the early chapters in Volume 5 or so

I'd take any of them over Viz's bullshit where they simplify everything for toddlers...that shit is annoying because you often lose info from the original version

Well at least here's some HQ scans of those in Batoto(same translation though afaik)...god the scan quality of the original versions were horrific

I wonder how people read those back then
Nowadays you get great quality for manga scanlations...back then people got what they could get
I always wonder how that late 90s/early 2000s online manga landscape felt...in particular when it came to Shaman King

>a weekly deadline
Nah that can't be it
Oda is weekly and his style hasn't changed that much

In fact Takei now does everything monthly anyways
Over time his art style became more and more simplistic. I first noticed a decline around chapter 100+ of SK in his art and it only got worse from there but the Kanzenban was when it got really bad and angular looking...part of it is probably the switch to digital

Early SK(the first 25 chapters especially) is imo still the best art he ever crafted in his career

Aside from that, Tao's dad was Turn-A Gundam, that super Eliza was Dendrobium, and the sphinx was White Base.

Not really surprising when Yoh's kid turned into Unit 01.

thank you, and it really is strange that one was taken down since it was never printed in the US
>>
>>151930743
the point of the manga is basically yoh's character philosophy - fighting is pointless and everything will work itself out in the end, so we should all be peaceful

takei is one of the biggest hippies working in manga - dude named yoh which means 'leaf' in reference to pot or something, and there's pot designs all over the manga, and everything is about zen, peace and contact with nature

I hate how skinny Yoh looks in this chapter

I preferred the beefier proportions the characters had before this chapter(which is why when the star/comet signals the Shaman Fight is my cut-off mark)

Still good stuff though

In my opinion the art starts deteriorating slightly after Yoh gets to Patch Village when they're looking at the Great Spirit for the first time

Even a cliché shit like THE POWER OR FRIENDSHIP killed Hao would've been better

I guess it will be something like enjoy the life and try to forget the hatred,. It had a lot Buddhist ideas represented in the way You thinks and behave.

haven't read it cuz i don't want my image of the original tainted - is it true that in flowers they summon the other past shaman kings and one of them is jesus

it was satisfying as fuck actually, the series was building up to that kind of end for awhile before that

I can't pick a favorite character but baykko was the best OS
>>
>>151930953
Eh it wasn't that bad.
They say that Hao would win no matter what from pretty early so it wasn't a cop-out, the point of the manga was never about seeing people fight each other, fights become pretty meaningless half-way in, it's about seeing conflicting philosophies face each other and the relationship of the characters with nature and their spiritual power.
In the end they can't win against Hao but they convince him not to let go of all his grudge and hatred, but to at least give humanity a chance to prove itself, it's consistent with most of the themes of the manga, mainly that people that is capable of seeing spirits can't be evil.
>>
>>151930789
and Hana, Yoh's son is literally kept in a freezer cause he "died" and they are trying to keep his body from rotting while he goes through tough trials in the spirit realm.

Pretty ironic.
>>
>Togashi, Takei, Hagiwara and Miura ruin their series because of laziness

Feels bad man
>>
>>151930953
But it was pretty much impossible given the setting.

I guess I could argue that the Hao end wasn't that bad, though. I liked almost every single one of the characters in this manga, even the stereotyped ones were fun to read about. Also, the Kurumada-esche character profile pages are so nice.
>>
>>151931062
jesus was already a shaman king in the original too, mentioned as soon as the concept popped up, although he never appears in flowers, since the antagonist this time around was the god before Hao

Maybe Tao Jun and not-Bruce Lee, but they're all really great. What an amazing cast.

Power levels got weird as shit towards the end.

No it wouldn't
The anime did it and it was shit

Shaman King is a battle of religions/morals/beliefs and shit
Usually in battle shonens the theme is good vs evil...in Shaman King it's Love vs Betrayal

Yoh became mid tier and Ren was the weakest if I recall correctly.
The best part is that at that point he doesn't even care anymore because he realizes how bullshit everything is and becomes chill as fuck.

I'm usually not one to read too much into things and I don't even remember much of the plot of the series, but the thing I still remember the most is that feeling of being chill. I don't know how Takei managed to do that but even after forgetting everything I still remember how fucking zen the whole thing was.
The (second) ending didn't even surprise me, I just accepted it.

He's talking about how a little while after that they stopped having random fights because everyone realized they were out-fucking-classed by Hao. His followers realized they didn't need to fight because he could do whatever he wanted, and everyone else realized they couldn't resist.

>tfw we'll never get a romcom manga about ren and jeanne
>>
>>151931457
Yeah, but I mean, I don't remember/realize exactly how he managed to convey that.
Maybe it was the character designs, or the main character, or the fact that he promised that Hao couldn't lose and actually went with that. I don't remember how he made me feel this but I'll always remember SK as being extremely chill for a battle manga.

At that point they're still fighting because they think they're helping Hao by collecting souls for the fire spirit.
I agree that it drags on but at that point they still have a purpose, it's not until much later on that even the followers of Hao realize that they don't need to do anything to win.

honestly the worst part about flowers was it's pacing was really bad it could've been good if it were allowed to run but it often felt like the plot wasn't moving, characters and conflict would be introduced but not be expanded upon at all, we know almost nothing about most of what was going to make up the main cast and it was two years in when jump kai died, i have hope it'll come back and be great though

>>151931567
Lyserg was at least 2 Yoh and Hororo's placement are never stated though if you base it of furyouku then Hororo would be number 3

>>151931595
mostly Yoh, he would always bring back whoever he fought with back home to eat dinner with and stuff like that lead to a chill atmosphere

I actually think the fights took a real nosedive after the Shaman Fight started to be honest.
The manga gained in depth and characters but the fights became pretty hard to follow and looked very asspull-y.
The only fights to this day that I still can remember crearly where early stuff like Yoh vs Faust or his second fight against Ren for example, at some point they become a clusterfuck and by the end I was just reading the speech bubbles and ignoring half of the panels.

Shaman King didn't have many fights when you look at it objectively

Yoh vs Horohoro was good too after Yoh got done fucking around

The point was that the fights used to mean something and were well developed up until the mid-point where they turned into trash and you only read it for the story after that

BTW can't forget Yoh vs Tao Jun/Lee Pyron...that fight was GOAT

I would argue that Takei just isn't good at drawing fights, if you look at most of the later ones, they still had some interesting concepts behind them, but the actual action usually felt flat. Most of the O.S introduced were still well drawn, and they always had some lore to back them up.

Most Mangaka don't know how to draw fights(only Toriyama's drawings in Dragon Ball ever satisfied me)

Takei's fights were more entertaining for the ideas behind them
At least he put more effort at the beginning

>with flowers we never got to know the characters ans what really made them different
Sure we did
Adult Tamao = Annoying lame version of Anna trying too hard
Alumni = Same as above
Men = Just fucking weird
Hana = Extremely annoying(even if it seemed like he was improving by the end)
Yohane = Faggot
Yohane's sister = Bad Tao Jun clone
Not-Horohoro and Not-Ryu = Forgettable

All of the new characters were extremely unlikeable versions of old one


>the story moved slow and was too Hana centric, but it was going somewhere
No, let's face it...it wasn't really going anywhere
Hana had his opportunity to learn from his mistakes quite a few times but he still insisted on using the oni's like the little dipshit he was and got kill

Then the Death Zero arc(like the incorporated Yahabe stuff which was originally not supposed to be a thing in Flowers) was basically just Takei and his fetish for reusing old stuff...it was nothing original or new

Flowers of Maize was a bullshit tournament just for the sake of having a reason to fight and the idea that G8 can interfere with Hao was shit

none of those characters are explored at all a few we get hints at there past and maybe a glimpse into their motivations)excluding Tamo and Hana)

and the whole point of the death zero arc is to force Hana to grow up a bit because of how think headed he was being

Fuck, didn't realise until now that Lyserg was so cute. I guess I'm gay like Takei now.
>>
>>151932942
>none of those characters are explored at all
Not my problem
He had all the time in the world and he didn't do it...he was writing a monthly series as if it was a weekly one

I can only judge what I actually got to read and boy were they unlikeable...way too immature compared to the og crew for my taste

Flowers can't be good, Takei really went downhill and Flowers was all over the place...it's a good thing Takei decided to cancel it and I hope he won't bring it back

He could have done a Shaman King sequel set on the year 3000 or something but nooooooo...he had to pull a Chrono Cross on us
>>
>>151932942
Also we all know about Tamao
She grabbed Harusame when Mikihisa was kill and fought on Tokyo or something with Ryu

>>
>>151933100
>Flowers can't be good
this is the only thing I disagree with you on my dude, i think he can make something good out of flowers, though I will admit I liked Hana and was interested in the rest of the cast

the magazine went belly up, it was't takei's decision to can it

Tamao and Ryu seemed fine to me, and the other three girls were nice too.

>>151933198
>i think he can make something good out of flowers
I don't trust Takei anymore


>it wasn't takei's decision to can it
Yes it was actually
He could have moved it to another magazine but he didn't want to deal with that shit so he basically said "screw this shit"
>>
>>151933188
Maybe Yoh would fall for her that way? Honestly, it's quite retarded.

And I don't trust Takei anymore

>>151933349

Yeah there were other manga that moved without a problem and Flowers was the top seller for that magazine
>>
>>151933321
>Maybe Yoh would fall for her that way?
There was a theory I read before(I think it was in the MT site comments section) that Tamao turned bitter/passive aggressive because of that lol

It still doesn't make sense though...it wouldn't be consistent with her character
>>
>>151933385
oh well if he doesn't want to work on it then that changed everything
>>151933451
she looked up to anna and was put in charge of arsing her kid, so she emulated her
>>
>>151933355
Dude, Ryu wanted to be a chef and the inn makes a lot of sense as his best place. It's got good memories for him like meeting Yoh and Tokageroh and starting his shaman training, and it seems chill as hell. That's a huge improvement over the bum who was squatting in an old bowling alley and looking for somewhere else to belong.
>>
>>151933499
>arsing
Hilariously accurate freudian slip.
>>
>>151933499
Worst part is Tamao agreeing to it and doing a shittier Anna. It doesn't make sense.
>>
>>151933499
>oh well if he doesn't want to work on it then that changed everything
It was more like he didn't feel like it anymore at that moment
He did express interest in continuing it last year but I hope he doesn't

>she looked up to anna and was put in charge of arsing her kid, so she emulated her
But that in itself doesn't make sense
You can't just fucking emulate Anna and it goes completely against Tamao's character

Face it...it was just Takei getting lazy and turning Tamao into Anna so he can justify keeping Anna out of the manga while still having her in at the same time

It also doesn't make sense how strong she became since she never was that strong
>>

Tamo id their servant and ows everything to the asukuras she's very loyal
>>151933617

I mean, agreeing to play Anna's character, but being more of a bitch. It feels so cheap, it's not like she was this complex character before, but I just don't buy it, I think not even she does, if I remember correctly. Which is more ridiculous.
>>
>>151933741
in fubrai no uta and the end of sk she seems to haven't completely dipped into the persona but by flowers she's into it all the way, I would've have minded if she were just putting on an act though

What is that giant sword looking thing by yoh
>>
>>151933596
>Worst part is Tamao agreeing to it
No that makes sense since she's loyal to the Asakura Family since they raised her

The part that sucks is the whole Anna clone thing
I hate how Takei became obsessed with turning every female character into an edgy bitch

I would have preferred to see Tamao struggle with Hana but the latter while misbehaving still loving/appreciating her at times...but nooooooo that's too hard to do for Takei
>>
Tamao changed a lot after the stress of having to take care of a baby and the inn by herself while in high school, but I don't remember her being anywhere near as bad as you guys're saying. Once you got past the tough mom introduction she was pretty reasonable. Jesus you guys.

Even Anna III who's the new Anna right down to marrying the MC doesn't seem as bad as the original ballbuster Anna.

I still don't buy it
It's not like she was abandoned and feared from her own family the way Anna was
Still don't understand why they didn't leave Hana with Yoh's Grandpa btw


>Once you got past the tough mom introduction she was pretty reasonable.
>reasonable
>she literally destroyed Yohkyo's house to show off
>she was ordering the hanagumi when in reality the hanagumi should be able to outright murder her ass but now they can't because tamao gained a bullshit furyoku increase out of nowhere
>>
>>151931637
>Redseb and Seyram are evil for some reason
Wasn't it a fake-out?

Already hinted that Yoh's dad or someone else friendly is sealed in golem now and they're probably playing along with the antagonist until at some point they try to triple-cross 'em.

It's not like everyone alive at the end of Shaman King ended up befriended or anything as well as the big bad. Oh wait that's exactly how Takei rolls.
>>
>>151934013
>boss of the inn not ordering the waitresses
And didn't she do fine against them in that 3v3 girl's gone wild in the woods? Don't write off the quiet girl.

Final point, screw Yohkyo and screw his house. Can't believe you're defending that atrocious piece of shit.
>>
>>151934029
>Wasn't it a fake-out?
They sure were acting evil around Tamao and co
Shit was strange and was never explained

The only explanation I could come up with is the Jews brainwashed them with their strange powers

>Hana with Yoh's Grandpa
death
I like to think Yoh and Anna wanted him to make friends too since they both grew up very alone

>>151934092
I don't think they were evil, they were both Jewish as i recall so maybe they chose Yvs over Hao

Just re-readed the first 5 chapters of Flowers and it doesn't seem like Yoh and Anna are kill.
Characters namedrop them multiple times and refer to them as if they were alive. Pic related
But then again iirc the Yoh that Hao summoned to fight Hana when he visited him inside the G.S. was hinted to be the real Yoh
Shit's confusing
>>
>>151934089
She was partnered by fucking Anna and Tao Jun ffs

Tamao was acting like a show-off which was my point...that shit was borderline insufferable

I have no hard feelings towards Yohkyo or whatever...the new Asakura branch coming out of nowhere in Flowers was pure cringe

He sure didn't make any friends living with Tamao

Yoh's Grandpa would have been better for Hana
Tamao is just a brute...she's not wise at all and no wonder Hana turned into such a little shit
>>
>>151934153
But they weren't against the Asakura family previously

In Flowers they clearly are which is confusing
>>
>>151930743
Yoh's belief that anyone that can see spirits can't be evil.
>>
>>151934225
Yoh's grandpa wasn't good for Yoh though he also died, it might have something to do with FoM too like how the shamen fight took place in tokyo

>>151934272
they were just kids during the shamen fight, with revenge as their only goal

Yes he was
He spared him because he didn't have it in him to kill him at birth and it's because of him that Yoh believed that anyone who can see ghosts isn't a bad person

He mentored him as a kid on lots of things

Are you mixing Mikihisa with Yohmei?
Because I'm talking about Yohmei

He was shown warning Tamao about the Asakura branch in Flowers

At least she will always be with him, just not totally as a human.

Tho, certainly it is quite the coincidence, that horo's dead girlfriend was chosen from hundreds of thousands of people, not only to become a spirit of nature, but also, horo's partner in the shaman fight.

God the old anime had such a beast soundtrack...especially the vocal songs

And they need to bring back all the original actors...I can't picture Yoh without Yuuko Sato
>>
>>151945534
It's not a coincidence
She ran into the Koropukkuru and they felt sorry for her...she loved him so much she wanted to stay in this world and that held her back from going to Heaven

Damuko is a later invention though since I doubt Takei planned her from the beginning

NOT MUH SHAMAN KING which at this point should be a good thing unfortunately it proves how creatively bankrupted is. I do like that Hana's hatred for his father is justified, unlike that faggot Boruto, since Yoh is a shitty father and his abrasive attitude with his potential new spirit being a WWII fighter pilot is very interesting. Te rest of the new cast aren't all there yet and some are just expies of the previous cast . I'll say it has potential since the tone is very reminiscence the first half of Shaman King

He literally had no other choice

Hana is more pissed that he missed out on the Shaman Fight

And the reason why Flowers is bad is precisely because most of the new characters feel like bad rehashes of the old ones...can't fucking Takei come up with original characters?

I hate that he turned Tamao into Anna especially...it would have been an interesting dynamic to see Shy(but more mature/responsible) Tamao and Mischevious Hana but that would have been too much effort from Takei

No he litterally just doesn't like him. He still likes his mom for whatever reason but that's mainly because she's Takei's waifu

>And the reason why Flowers is bad is precisely because most of the new characters feel like bad rehashes of the old ones.
This only applies to Anna III and Ren's shithead son. We just haven't given them enough focus yet .

>I hate that he turned Tamao into Anna especially.
Who cares? She was irrelevant shitty love rival (not even that since there was no way she stood a chance against Takei's waifu) and she's not like Anna at all.

Most the rest of the tournament happened.
But then everyone realized they were too weak to actually beat Hao one on one, so they decide to forfeit the tournament so they can try to gank him while hes passed out in the process of becoming shaman king.

But all the patch tribe stand in their way so they are forced to kill all of them, but then they arrive too late, Hao gains his god powers and kills everyone on earth.

But then Yoh and friends' ghosts fight him with the primal spirits they got. But they still lose.

Then a train with the ghosts of everyone in the series show up, Hao's mom slaps him and convinces him not to kill humanity, so he decides to watch humans for a while then make his decision on whether hes gonna kill everyone.

Yoh doesn't seem optimistic about it, but they all go and live their lives. Yoh and Ren have kids and Choco went to jail for a while, I guess he turned himself in for the stuff he did?

I find it ironic that Watanuki is the only mangaka that hasn''t fallen for the MC's kid must take the focus meme that all mangaka must do nowadays because even though he's milking Kenshin for all its worth the MC is still Kenshin.

The tournament aspect of Shaman King is a waste of time and it doesn't help that the entire series is just one big tournament arc anyways. The best parts are the ones that aren't focused on tournament fights (Ren's arc, Hao's backstory, X-Laws, etc.)

That makes sense. When I was a kid I found it hard to believe that both Yoh and Hao wanted her when she acted like a bitch 90% of the time.

>>151952523
She is literal the personification of Takei's ideal woman and its pretty sickening how favored she is by the author when she's so fucking bland and boring as shit.

Japan?????

Didn't Hao just pospone the whole thing instead of not doing it at all? That makes it worse, actually. They didn't accomplish anything and in the end they're at the mercy of whatever Hao wants to do. And Hao's kind of a prick.
>>
>>151931567
Yoh was just never a fighter at heart, it was just something he had a responsibility to do. A good character and a strong leader for the team. It says something when his final Over Soul's power is basically Furyoku canceling and can't really hurt people. It makes him stupidly strong in the right circumstances though.
>>
>>151929546
That was the thing that stuck in my head the most from this show. What happens to fire spirit in manga?
>>
>>151952767
Basically Yoh and Anna have to go around the world to make it a better place to convince Hao its worth saving, you're right in that Hao is only postponing it because his mom slapped him. That entire ending is really just cynical and shits on the main cast efforts but when you consider what Takei had been going through during its run in WSJ its not a surprise that this was the best ending he could come up with.

The mom thing is irrelevant

Hao was trying to kill them and he couldn't
Then everybody showed up and he couldn't read minds for the first time in a 1000 years because for the first time in a long time he wasn't alone anymore

Matamune turned his back on Hao twice and he deeply regretted it

Yoh never wanted to kill Hao he wanted to save him because:
1. That's his character(pic related defines Yoh and the series whole point)
2. From a logical perspective Hao would just come back 500 years later

The whole point of the series is putting an end to Hao's suffering

Shaman King is too deep for you since you can't into religion/philosophy
You should stick to shallow garbage like Bleach

Personally I can't stand her because Takei has absolutely no control over his favoritism towards her. It doesn't matter what situation she's put in she''l always come out on top. He'll often achieve this by making other characters into spineless morons.

Also, her and Yoh's relationship is straight up abuse. She controls him with violence and it's played for laugh. It's way worse than your average tsundere-protag relationship

I love her. Still my favorite female shounen character.

Hao was just doing it to save face


The way I took it was that Hao was ready to forgive humanity but he needed time to get over it

Hagi got out of his lazy limbo in the 90's though, the problem with Bastard is that he's working as a freelancer illustrator for mobage and MMOs and since he matured he went full autismo and decided to redraw all of his manga from the beginning with his current style.
He's no Miura or Togashi, he also made the jump to digital back in the 90's like Shirow, but instead of drawing oily horsecocks on low poli backgrounds he draws tanned titty gorillas and bishounen.

And keep in mind that Hagi was based enough to do official, canon porn of his own work, there's not many out there who would do that.
>>151953045
>The whole point of the series is putting an end to Hao's suffering
Actually, the point of the series is a huge Abe no Seimei fanwank, Hao has been showed to be still a dick in Flowers.

Takei should have dumped Flowers and gone full Initial D by making his Exoticar one shot a full series, dude likes his cars and robots.

>Yoh was just never a fighter at heart
Yoh is a shaman
A shaman's primary job is to save/heal people not fight

In that sense Yoh is one of the most authentic shamans in the series

And when you think about it while Hao is Shaman King...Yoh is far more similar to the benevolent Gods you hear about in real life religion

Because she's an absolute cunt. Even as an adult she hasn't changed much.

I get that she's supposed be some ice queen who deeply loves Yoh despite how she treats him. But she just comes off as an abusive bitch 99% of the time. It's annoying and just because it's played for gags doesn't make it better.

Uhhh no
Takei didn't even plan Hao from the beginning

And also he takes inspirations from multiple cultures/religions(particularly those of East Asia/India) that's nothing special

Hao likes to act tough but he gave Hana another chance in Flowers actually

Hao is like Anna when you think about it but he's much more screwed up because he had the Reishi for a 1000 years

He literally did a few special designs for FF 14 and did two character designs for that piece of shit Endride anime.

>since he matured he went full autismo and decided to redraw all of his manga from the beginning with his current style.
He stopped doing that shit after the second volume the kazebans are all the fucking same with the difference being the covers and there were new bunko editions released two years back with new art covers but no changes in the art. The guy is just lazy but in a recent interview it seems like he's motivated to start work again now that Endride is over with as he's working on a new doujin which takes place in volume 18.

I never understood this. What part of his backstory is racist? I grew up in NY, and majority of gangbangers who commit violent crimes are indeed black. Facts aren't racist.

I'm pretty sure it's because Hao is a resentful bitch and even though he had the chance to move on with the help of Ohachiyo, he chose vengeance which led to his whole mind-reading curse.

Hao's inability to move on and thirst for revenge is what caused his misery. He brought it on himself.

Even Ohachiyo told him killing his mom's murderers wouldn't change anything and it was better if he let it go, but he didn't listen.
>>
>>151955680
What year
Were you reading the manga when it was running in Japan?

>tfw read some old Shaman King forum
>those were innocent times
>>
>>151955691
Yeah but Hao was like 10 years old
And if Ohachiyo had refused him none of this would have ever happened

When you think about it actually
Ohachiyo trusted Hao but the latter betrayed his trust
Same thing would later happen to Hao when Matamune killed him twice

Interesting Karma there

2002-2003, my country licensed and broadcast the anime as soon as they could after it finished airing over in JPN. The manga began being published here a little after that.

Yeah, if anything fanbases were just happy to be able to find someone they could talk about their favorite anime and shit.

>>
>>151956724
>Yeah, if anything fanbases were just happy to be able to find someone they could talk about their favorite anime and shit.
Yeah, altho that still applies to Shaman King because of it's (sadly)irrelevant status nowadays

So I get happy whenever a Shaman King thread pops up in /a/ once in a blue moon

But the internet anime/manga community back then was completely different from now
It was sort of a ghost town in comparison...while now it's just too much shit/overcrowded
>>
>>151955160
It was pretty tragic.

But it was also kinda racist that he became a hardcore gangster/ cold blooded killer at the age of like 10.
>>
>>151957556
Also just compare him to Ryo's gang.

Ryo and his gang are allegedly delinquents but they don't really do much aside from look sorta menacing and loiter in various places, and they are teenagers.

Chocolove, the main American character who is black, commited straight up felonies like murder before he even reached his teens. He ran in an actual gang. And he was unrepentant about it until his gang killed that old guy with the jaguar spirit if I remember correctly.
>>
>>151957556

>Ryu was just a punk that looked after a couple of losers until they all got jobs
