| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, I see the tension between Yoh and his rival Tao Ren. They set up the perfect stage and time for their inevitable fight. Not a big fan of Tao Ren but his fighting spirit skyrocketed this episode. It's incredible how determined is to prove himself, especially against Yoh. |
 |
| INSANELY GOOD episode. I loved every second of it. I knew they were going to do this entire fight in an episode but it didn't feel rushed at all! Nice to see the Horohoro and Faust scenes too! Can't wait for the next upcoming arc! |
| 3 bottles of milk each day???? No way, let me make a note of it In the end they both pass... I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be... Hey, they seem to be getting along better now, don't they? But knowing Ren, he'll never admit it 😂 |
| Aww Tamao came all the way to Tokyo for Yoh's final match. That's so sweet of her. I like Anna's attitude too of just staying home and waiting for Yoh to bring back the good news since she trusts him so much. Anyway this is what I consider the first serious battle of this series that's not just there for Yoh to figure out how some new mechanic works. All the stuff prior felt more like a tutorial and now he can finally fight for real. I think they handled it decently enough, especially the first part. Based on what I remember from the original anime, next should be the Ren's uncle arc. I wonder how many episodes that will take. |
 |
| That episode was really good. The animation and music during Yoh vs Ren fight was great. I actually want to find our the name of the first soundtrack of their duel, cause it was that good. But what the fuck happened to the score? When this remake started, it had a score pretty close to original adaptation (somewhere between 7.50-7.70, but now it dropped below 7.00 |
 |
| An exciting match between Yoh and Ren ends in a draw, and both of them move on past the preliminary stage of the Shaman Fight. Time for things to get more serious as we progress further down the path toward becoming the Shaman King. Also RIP Panda-kun. Fuck Ren's dad bro. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| This episode was so good. Man. Ren's father is so messed up wow. Even Ren's sister says that he will lose. I remember reading this in the manga in a magazine not knowing who won or lost. All I know is that Ren went into another over soul mode with a horse. Ren even admits that Yoh is like wind and water and brute force is something you cannot beat that with, and admits his lost. The funny irony is that Yoh ran out of spirit energy. Both ended in a draw that ran out of spirit energy. Then they argue like what is going to happen. Though both are going to the tournament which is funny and awesome at the same time. Looking forward to the next episode. |
| Rip the panda and that's my only observation about this epsiode. lolz |
| An amazing fight between Yoh and Ren. The showing of power was truly deadly from both sides. Honestly, I got to feel for Ren; the pressure he faces must be unbearable. Haha, the ending was pretty funny. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I quite enjoyed this episode. It felt a lot longer and in depth than it actually was (all a good thing), so that was surprising. Ren is using both Oversoul and Hyoi Gattai, which is a unique spin. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Ren is the power to destroy Yoh is the power to create how did Yoh create something out of nothing again? lol |
| Finally, a good episode warranted of Shaman King. Hah, Tamao still quite concerned for Yoh, but Anna has always placed his trust in him, so all should be OK. Yoh vs. Ren AGAIN, but you can feel the stakes and weight behind each of the competitor's pressures to become the Shaman King...unlike the last one which is just an introduction. Tao Ren is definitely stronger this time, and for once, he feels like a legitimate competitor with overflowing integration/fusion of Over Soul and Furyoku, which gives Yoh a chance to prove his growing skill. Tao Ren's family is quite screwed, at least for their father who only believes in destruction and revenge. It's funny, get reasonable for the long conflict between Tao Ren and Yoh: the power to both destroy and create, just like Yin and Yang. These 2 are indeed kindred spirits, and would do well to join forces together in the future. For now, this match is declared a draw, and let the Opening Ceremony begin! |
 |
| No wonder why Ren's so somber. His father is as much of an edgelord as him. Anyways, F for cute Panda-kun. All things considered, Yoh vs. Ren was actually entertaining to watch. Mostly for its OST rather than its visuals and writing tho. |
| Not bad. They adapted a ton of chapters but this was an interesting match and the rivalry between Ren and yoh kun is awesome and fun to see. Hopefully the quality can keep up for upcoming episodes |
 |
| This episode was so good, no more to add, 10/10. |
 Happy New Year! |
| Did they REALLY had to do that panda scene? :( I don't remember it being in the original and I hope I remember right |
| Probably my favorite episode so far! That was great. Even though animation was lacking, you can still feel how awesome the fight is, plus the soundtrack is fantastic, Yuki Hayashi don't miss. I think Ren is definitely my favorite character so far, he's so extra lmao. The way he said he drinks 3 glasses of milk everyday like a badass was fucking hilarious. Fuck Ren's dad though, that panda did not deserve that shit. And with that, our resident stoner and edgelord are now bestfriends. Looking forward to the Shaman Fight. |
 |
| 3 glasses of milk every day... kids. That's how you grow tall. Great fight between Asakura Yoh and Tao Ren. Too bad, the winner can't be decided because both ran out of Furyoku. So, both will enter the Shaman fight. |
 |
| Ren's entrance gotta be one of the most cringe entrance ever lol. The match was pretty cool and I'm glad both of them are gonna continue. That last part with Yoh getting scared of Anna was hilarious. |
 |
steponmebakura said: Did they REALLY had to do that panda scene? :( I don't remember it being in the original and I hope I remember right It's not in the first anime, but it's in the manga and it's even more brutal there lol |
| A very good episode, and it was only a little bit faster than the 2001 version. Such a good fight. I may be remembering wrong, because the last time I read the manga was several years ago, but wasn't this fight mostly just Silva giving out endless exposition in the manga? It's what I remember most about it. Also, this was always a thing, especially since this is the older of the two series, but the fact that Romi Park plays not one, but two characters who are angrily sensitive about their height is really funny. |
| This anime is still nowhere near the reboot that Shaman King deserves, and I blame that solely on the studio for doing such a horrid job all around (Save for art and the plot. Animation has been an absolute crapshoot that even the art can't save it. And it's automatically better than the old anime in terms of plot). But this episode was actually entertaining. I might have regained a bit of hope, but I'm still not too optimistic about the future. Really wish someone else was handling the new anime, honestly. |
| Loved the episode and can't wait for the next one! Hopefully they will show context for why is Faust in a wheelchair. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| Loved it. Absolutely awesome from the beginning to the end. I'm not biased, wdym?? Panda was jarring, but I guess it's to showcase the nature of Dad Tao as well as the Tao family in general, basically giving us a little context. Which is appreciated. Ren's entrance was lol, I love how absolutely over the top theatrical he can get. And then revealing Ren's life and background, how his relationship with Yoh is intertwined - all in the middle of a bloody well done fight... Just. Brilliant. And now kiss already, you dorks. |
| I wish Ren was a silent character. |
| Damn Ren v Yoh didn’t disappoint at all. Was as intense as I remember as a kid. Looking forward to episode 13 where we start getting the rest of the manga content |
 |
| I was sure this fight seemed more one-sided when I first watched the anime back then, I legit thought Tao-Ren would win this, but this time it didn't feel the same. |
| What happened to Faust? Why was he in a wheelchair? Overall this episode was good. The soundtracks were amazing. |
| damn I better drink 3 bottles of milk every day as well |
 |
| aaaaaaaa lmao i forgot it would end up with a draw it was really funny but also im proud of both of their character development, yoh-kun got stronger and ren got more human |
If you recall what happened to Eliza's skeleton when Yoh won the fight, you might be able to guess it. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| After the last two bad chapters this did make up to it, great match and hilarious ending with both of them bickering. |
| YoH vs Tao was such an amazing fight, good rivalry between each other. Cant Wait for the next episode. |
 |
| The best fight so far and still wouldn’t call it good. It was just decent to solid. Does it get better from here? I’m not expecting the fights to get much better given how lackluster the animation has been so far, so I guess I am asking more if the story and characters get better from here. At this rate I’m probably going to drop this anime after episode 11. |
| Two oversouls, one for a horse, damn. So Tao Ren and Jun have different agendas for if he gets to be Shaman King. Another character voiced by Romi Park having a height joke cracked a them lol |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Poor Panda. It wasn't there in the original anime cause they thought it was too graphic for kids. But this new remastered Shaman King is to be based on the "FULL MANGA" with the actual endings and such, so they include it. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| The music, The Art was good Story was okay. But there is no Sakuga at all... Is this what we will get for the rest of this Tournament Arc Anime? Idk man if Studio Bridge was the right choice for this Anime. |
