| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was kinda silly, mostly because of the character personalities in particular Ryu. This seems like a buildup episode and Tao Ren ready to prove himself to the world again. Quite interested in seeing what direction this season will head towards. |
 |
| Wow! 4 chapters adapted into an episode! Whilst I haven't has as many issues with the pacing as some people, I think a lot of those that didn't like the fast pace would very much appreciate this episode. I love how they actually made soundtracks for Bo'z and are actually releasing it as a character song later down the line. Also those shadows in the opening ceremony! X-Laws, Hao's team and even Gandala got animated! |
| A lot of fun and a very nice night (⌒ω⌒) Mmm, I didn't like these new characters at all, but I agree with them, I'm not interested in your story Ryu... Ohhh, I guess that's Yoh's twin that appeared in the first episode isn't it? 0.0 Interesting episode, Ren is finally going to be able to take out all his hatred now |
| Super random episode lol, everybody suddenly buddies wit Ren, crazy metal monks, then right into some revenge arc at the end. xD |
| Ryu became a Shaman and manage to qualify for Shaman Fight too eh Ren redemption arc begins, he knows he cannot be forgiven on the countless killings he has done but he wants to change the world for the better so "the end justifies the means?" lol |
| This episode was fun. Nice to see Yoh having such friends. Ren having to have a change in the right direction. Ryu became a Shaman. Nice. Looking forward to more to come. This is looking great. |
| Those Boz dudes looked like absolute clowns but they will be my heroes if they actually exorcised Tamao's shitty spirits. |
| Like how those steamed buns solidified Ren's resolve, Ren has also been solidified as my favorite character. Pretty good episode! It was a needed cooldown episode, except for Boz lmao. Their songs were actually kind of a bop, and we finally officially see Hao. Really looking forward to the next episode to see Ren kick some Tao family ass. |
 |
| I'm just giving this a 3. This was such a weird and bizarre episode. Ren's arc worked for me, even though at first I was thinking they had become 'friends' way too fast, but it turned out to be a little more complicated than that. Ryu with being a Shaman came kind out of nowhere and just too quick. I literally don't remember this chapter from the manga, at all, so obviously it didn't leave much of an impression on me. Add in the bad subs I read, yeah, not my favorite. Could've been story or the pacing this time, but kinda just eh overall to me. |
| 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. |
| I always love downtime episodes like this. Watching everyone bounce off of each other during the party was super enjoyable. I'm also glad the BoZ fight happened where it was supposed to instead of randomly interrupting the next arc like it did in the 2001 anime. Ren in the train was the highlight for me. One of my favorite moments with him, and it was adapted so well. |
| A fun episode indeed. It was quite lighthearted in comparison to previous episodes. Everyone having fun with each other and enjoying their time. The monk brothers were funny in the beginning but became a pain in the ass for Yoh as they took Amidamaru from him. They also are in the Shaman King race, so it's better for them to take out an opponent earlier. Also, got to meet Wooden Sword Ryu who also became Shaman. LOL. Ren is also changing inside. |
 |
| Some cute Tamao moments this episode so that's nice. Again Ryu just becomes a shaman and wins 2 fights off screen. I guess I don't care too much about them showing that anyway. And our first time seeing Hao other than as a baby in episode 1. Overall a good episode. |
 |
| A cooldown episode before the Shaman Fight will change lives forever. Tamao and Yoh strolling grocery, and the Boz duo of singing monks Zen and Ryo sure make a hell of a weird impression, and springing "factually" correct late 90s feel based on mangaka Hiroyuki Takei's style. A prelude battle between Yoh and Boz, but Ryu's inclusion as a formal Shaman must've surprised even Yoh. The first ever look of Hao is a preface. Sad that the opening ceremony wasn't much of a showing, but the "power of friendship" cliche always works to deliver an ancient piece of work. And with Tao Ren going back to China to face a new challenge and heart to overthrow his own family, a new destiny awaits the former rival. |
 |
| Loved this one. The gang is starting to get together. I was happy we got cameos all over from very important characters for the rest of the series, we finally got to see Hao more properly, Ryu is back and Ren got character development. I am not sure do I remember well, but in the original Ren's revenge was lengthy? Was everything properly adapted from the manga there or did it contain anime original scenes? |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| they just made a slideshow with the onsen trope ?!!! man this show does not give a shit abt those huh YOOOO thats yoh's twin(?) right ? the one that got taken by a demon or something |

| Aaaand we're back to another episode that just has way too much packed into it, so while the flow is ok-ish, nothing really has time to breathe. Except for Ren's upcoming stuff - because that's another week away. |
TakafumiNaito said: Yes it did happen, no it doesn't mean anything. The Boz explained that they know Yoh lives with an Itako, so they aren't going to waste their time exorcising Amidamaru, whom she could just summon back. That's why they were stealing his memorial tablet - you can't summon back a spirit that never left. Ponchi and Konchi were just removed from the fight so Tamao can't get in the way - again, exorcism means nothing in this scenario Except I know Anna can bring back those who have crossed over.... but just temporarily. You saw that with Mosuke and then Pyron's master, but again, temporary, right? |

| I liked the brief character cameos we got to see in the opening ceremony. Nothing too eventful happened in this episode, as it was more of a cooldown before Ren's arc. The Hao appearance was cool though. |
| 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. |
| Peak shaman king coming soon, that ending sequence with Ren taking on his family army.. fucking epic. |
 |
TakafumiNaito said: These two chose to move on and were in the afterlife, Ponchi and Konchi were forcefully expelled. Different things Then why was it a big deal before when it almost happened to Amidamaru? He would've also been forcibly pulled and/or forced. |

| The next stage of the Shaman Fight is just Fortnite. |
| I actually really liked this one. This was a somewhat chill breather before the actual part starts and I liked it. I found the comedy to hit more than it misses and Ryo was also quite hilarious to say the least lol |
 |
| That was a weird duo but as expected they were just rando nobodies. Thou woa Ryuu became a shaman, that's nice. |
 |
| The bit with Ryu just coming out of nowhere and giving exposition of how and why he's suddenly a Shaman in this episode didn't work at all. It was so sloppy. I just went back through the manga chapter of it, and yeah, it is a bit out of nowhere too, but it at least gets more than a single minute of time to explain it and show it off. Boz also was shown several chapters before, tailing and the like; they didn't just materialize out of nowhere too. Ryu really got shortchanged in this episode: "I'm Shaman too BTW" "Cool" |

| Another “meh” episode. That seems to be what this anime is at this point. I find what they are doing with Ren to be interesting, but the next episode is judgement day and if it is anything less than good, then I will probably drop it. |
| Finally more Minami Takayama. Hearing her and Megumi Hayashibara in a current anime is the only that's kept me from dropping this show so far. |
| Lol Boz is weird af but pretty cool. Good thing Ryuu is no longer a discarded side character now :D |
 |
| Bosan, Bozu, Bose, that's a lot of puns. No, don't send Amidamaru to heaven! (though please exorcise Tamao's spirits lol). Yoh can collapse other Over Souls on his own. H- his pompadour has three layers! Hao appears again |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Musician Duo are pure Comedy... lol Yay Ryu is back.... lmao that Hair is Nasty af |
 |
| Well that was a ride. Went from singing monks to Ren deciding to kill his father. Liked this episode tbh, but man I was so disappointed to hear Hao's voice, like seriously, I can get behind Yoh because it's somewhat close to his og one and kind of represents his character, but wtf is that VA choice for Hao?? Edit: Actually, went back to the OG one to listen to Hao's voice and was surprised to see that his voice was also girlish. Seems like I was wrong, they went with the same VA. Still would have been more hype if Hao had the VA of Itachi/Madara because that's the vibe he gives. |

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Hmm things are becoming more interesting with Ryu in Shaman, Ren's motivation and Hao's appearance |
 |
| Ugh I hate how they dealt with Ryu becoming a shaman and having Tokageroh as his spirit ally. They just suddenly throw it out there with no proper explanation. At least they give my boy Ren enough screen time. Still, I'm really disappointed with this adaptation so far. The pacing is absolutely horrible and I honestly don't get how people who never read/watched the original manga/anime can enjoy this remake :/ |
 |
| Man, these musicians are annoying as hell. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| What was this episode man? |
| Till the pace is kinda normal, came those boring monks story. i didn't liked them in the 2001 version, and i didn't liked them now. and just when i though to jump forward came ryuu and putted smile on my face :D this is how you make good shaman king story. dunno about ren's father arc. didn't liked it so much even in the 2001 version. i HOPE they will RUSH it through. very much. |
