| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Decent amount of action this episode and even Yoh struggled in his fight. Tbh, it felt like watching a battle of David vs Goalith in terms of their physical size. Tao Ren also had a score to settle since he came back although the second half of the episode was kinda tame. I'm actually much more interested in Tao Ren's development than Yoh's now lol |
 |
| We've finally made it!!! I've waited years and years for a true adaptation of the manga, and we finally get that next week. This was the last arc that was properly adapted in the 2001 adaptation so I cannot wait for Round 2 of the Shaman fight!! Great episode too, loved the color palettes! |
| Ren's victory, although I would have liked him to end up killing his father at the end... 0.0 Even though I like his grandfather, let's cut the bullsht, a few shots with the gun and it's easy 😂 |
| WOW, this episode kinda exceed my expectations though. Yoh and Tao Ren against the Gohukuseitai being no pushover, and now adding Lee Pyron with Jun aiding the 2 boys. Ren finally facing against his father, the immortal Tao En, along with the rest with their Over Soul powers, and yet Tao En is indeed what is like: many Davids of the power of friendship vs. one big Goliath with his Daidouho Over Soul the secret to his unusual immortality. The history of the Tao Family expunged for over 2000 years and living an outcast life in rural China, what an "evil" family living in mortal disconnect. But for Grandfather to pull out a gun when threatened and bring a feast for Ren and the rest, HAHA this is very Shonen like. Whatever it is, all's well that ends well. The true adaptation continues wayward into the future with more Shaman Fights incoming. |
 |
| Gotta love how Ren's mother and grandpa were always there... knowing that En has gone mental for years but waited for the kid to be tortured alongside his sister give the first step and solve everything on his own. Also, why do I find Tao grandpa pulling out a gun at every given moment so funny? |
| ryuu guy getting his hairstyle changed a lot this ep lmao |
Manga18 said: I hate to repeat my self but the second part was too fast, suddely an out of thw world enemy becomes weak. Regarding the first we discover that the 5 strongest "zombies" are made of 4 weak ones and the second best one Power scaling in Shaman King isn't like in DBZ. In Shaman King, the source of an oversoul is peace of mind and concentration. An oversoul will become weak and even disappear if the shaman loses control of his emotions. The moment Ren made En doubt himself, the battle was over. |
| Okay episode, not much different from OG. I wonder when we are gonna see heavy derivations. |
| Sweet, I liked this one again. There definitely was a lot of stuff I wasn't expecting like how their "father" was an oversoul + their grandparents coming in. I can't help but feel as if manta did nothing this arc but it was kind of used in a comedic way so it's fine. I'm really liking the dynamics between every major character so far and I'm looking forward to future episodes |
 |
| Decent episode but I gotta know. Was he listening to Bob Marley or Bob Dylan? |
| Yo, was Yoh listening to Bob Marley at the end there lmao. That was a pretty good episode, didn't expect Big En to just be an oversoul. It's honestly pretty insane that he's been doing that for decades. I am now curious to see how much farther Ryu's hair will evolve. Ren's grampa just pulling out a fucking gun is hilarious lmao. Ren is absolutely based, his development was nice. Pull up on his home, destroy his father's resolve and then leaves. Looking forward to the next episode, looks like we'll finally officially meet Hao. |
 |
| so that giant father of Ren was just his Over Soul good and evil has little meaning eh or do they mean good and evil are one anyway like Yin and Yang is saying |
| Love the subversion of the "power of friendship" trope here. The power of friendship didn't make Ren stronger. It made En second guess himself and lose his concentration. |
| Well. That end to the fight was a little abrupt. But Ren...! Yeah, still loving his tsundere ass. |
| I liked this episode and you could really feel this series' vibe and humor in the second half which is the main reason I am watching this remake in the first place, and with this, we can leave the fast-paced episodes behind us and focus on the actually story that is coming. Thinking how many great characters I can't wait to see I guess I am just a little bit glad the introduction went by so fast (even though it would have been definitely better if it was slower), but what's done is done. Can't wait for the next episode. |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |

An oversoul will become weak and even disappear if the shaman loses control of his emotions. The moment Ren made En doubt himself, the battle was over. But this also works backward. En was strong exactly because he was confident, you have to beat people way stronger than his child to be so confident (and strong). So an out of the world enemy suddely doubts himself Think about it like this. En had stood strongly by his ideals, and he made sure Ren believed them too through his status, manipulation, and power. Ren's childhood was completely dictated by En. So when Ren returns from Japan and defies those ideals, even after ten days of being locked away and tortured, and even after being he and his friends get curb stomped, En is confused why Ren doesn't give up and do as he's told like he's always done. It's enough to make him briefly lose his composure for just long enough that his Over Soul fails on him. |
| This episode was awesome, but next week is where Shaman King really gets going. Can’t wait! |
 |
| Highlights of the episode are: - Ren figuring out En's trick; - grandpa Tao straight up pulling a damn gun on his grandson. |
| The twists were pretty good and the fight was pretty cool but more importantly Ren's mom is a hottie. |
 |
| I like the outcome of this fight, feels good to see Ren's mother and grandfather whose VA I think is the same as The Third Hokage's. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| En got exposed and defeated.. Decent fight, I'm more into the story which is good enough... Damn Ren Mom was Hot, giving me ara ara vibes. lol |
 |
| Hmm now Ren's family situation has been fixed, that was pretty good especially for the fights |
 |
| That Ox King-looking ass wasn't actually Tao En but his Over Soul. His grandparent ghosts hosting a feast lol So Ren accepted his place in the Tao family I guess with En passing down the sword. Yoh listening to Bob Marley (thanks to adding to the head canon that Yoh is a stoner) |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| so Ren's dad was an over soul the entire time! Good thing everything ended well. |
 |
| That fight didn't last long. Also, we got to see Ren's dad En's true form aside from his Oversoul. But, I guess he understood everything in the end and that he needs to believe in Ren. |
 |
| The hybrid form was always haunting to me. |
| I have mixed feeling about this episode. On the positive note, I'm glad for the direction of this episode. it's surpass much of the 2001 version that dedicated more on the action. The remake simply concentrated more on the ideology and philosophy this arc contains. Oh, and though they kinda Ren said it, at least he hasn't said "the power of friendship". I'm really glad about that too. On the other hand, I felt that the anime tried so hard to make tension over the story. At the start of the episode I even told myself that they should'v ended previous episode with this episode beginning. But soon as Pyron went back to the story, you don't feel that the tension is worth it. And that's how it was all over the episode, without much succeeds. I dunno if it's the problem with the storyboard for the anime or the source. I can see those "tension" being cliffhanger on the manga chapters, when the next one deals with story much more slowly, and in the adaption transmutation it was being lost. Either way, finally we "got rid" of the where the 2001 version took off the manga. lets see how things going to go now. |
