Seriously, it's about time they got to the main Shaman King battles after all the talk and buildup. At least there's an excitement in the air. Anna seemed kind of annoyed though lol

Felt like this episode had a sense of comedy and drama combined together.

If only it had some little Sakuga, it's going to be so much better.
Also, the Stadium of Shaman Fight Seems Empty in comparison to the Manga.

Has the pacing slowed down and which episode does it start?
I already watched the original anime so I'm just gonna skip the remade content

Manta met a Shaman fighter singing his own song of love...and it's Faust again, all wrapped in bandages. What a wretched man from the last time we've seen of him, his wish to revive his love Elisa should he win the Shaman fight.

Anna trusts Faust more than Lyserg, and wants him on Yoh's 3-man team. But truth be told, it's only for her own gain of hot springs lols. Lyserg wants out of Hao's control that tormented him for so long, and Anna has proven herself to surpass Hao with the Cho-senjiryakketsu. She doesn't waste anytime to start the Shaman chorus into moulding Yoh to be the Shaman King, this hardcore wife is real.

At long last, all 63 Shaman fighters are on the scoring wall, and only 12 will go onto the next stage. And also, the stadium arena seems so empty when the manga is literally filled to the capacity, that's NOT so matching with the audience SFX.

Round 1 with Ren's team vs. the Boz weirdo duo musician Team Earth again, but leaving Chocolove to fend for a 1 vs 3 fight. But don't underestimate Chocolove, and his Mic Jaguar easily dominates the match while pipping his Black Jaguar Oversoul with glitz and glamour. The only standing member left that is the Meixcan Peyote, he's playing serious to use Boz's bodies as his puppets.

Real trouble...

The og anime separated from the manga when Hao appeared ( In this remake it's episode 13) And yeah, pacing is good now. Only Episode 13 is kinda rushed.

Did they skip a whole ass training arc or was the montage also jumped over in the manga? Feels like a chunk of content was missing there.
Don't believe the hype.

There are no training arcs in Shaman King, so no, no arcs skipped.

Good to know Anna has her priorities quite clear xD Anyways, still glad they let my man in love Faust join the team.

Nice episode overall. Chocolove sure is quite badass when he's not in clown mode, huh?

Idk whats the normal pace, but for this episode they adapted 4 chapters (111-114). I think its quite fast but no, they did't skip anything crucial and certainly there is no training arc (I might be wrong, but I think the previous adaptation added one).

Damn, Anna really just built different, what a beast. Pretty good episode!

Faust appearing with Manta on his lap was pretty hilarious lmao. ๐’ž๐’ฝ๐‘œ๐’ธ๐‘œ๐“๐‘œ๐“‹๐‘’ in his black jaguar oversoul looks sick as fuck. I wonder what kind of power that mariachi band looking ass dude has for it to need a medium with the incapacitated Boz.

Tournament Arc just begun...
If only the fight have some Sakuga, it will be decent one.
Sadly can't hope more from this Studio.

Why the Arena looks so empty, is it like this as well in the Manga?
Looks kinda weird tbh.

Ryu being this obsessed with Lyserg deserves a big side-eye. The joke wore thin after the first 2 times.

That huge arena was so empty because they were socially distanced. Duh.

Anna already mastered the Chล-Senjiryakketsu and even tamed Hao's shikigamis, what a girl. So Faust ended up joining their team after all and Chocolove's jaguar ability is pretty cool.

This was fast as usual even if the manga readers tell us they are slowing down, too much stuff happens off screen (like th bonding with Lyserg and of him with the random guy)

The animations went into full Power Point and this is ot the worst, the worst lies on the fact this became a gag manga with a spinkle of battle and not the opposite

There are no training arcs in Shaman King, so no, no arcs skipped.


Gotcha, thanks for clearing it up

I thought SK had turned yaoi. Lyserg and the XLaw guy looked awfully close.

Is anyone ever going to slap Anna back? I have never wanted to slap a character this much.

So do you think this will get another season after 52 episodes? Cause the pacing is really good as of now, but not enough to complete all the chapter from Manga.

Not really. It is technically possible. Though the new anime has been written start to finish as a 52 episode series before they even started animating, it's hard not to notice that lately the episodes have not been adapting all that many chapters (though there still is skipped content).
So yeah, there is a world where the current pacing is just a result of the fact the reboot has been very successful in Japan. It's also worth noting that the anime has been animated fairly in advance before it started airing - Episode 7 has already been recorded before ep 1 has aired - so the fact it slowed down a bit later could be a result of that

But being realistic - these are just pretty important episodes, it's not like this series never did slower bits. Ep 1 and 2 both only animated 2 chapters each - which is slower than a usual shonen. And then Ren's mini arc has been given two episodes despite the fact it is shorter than Yoh vs Jun.
For now we have to assume that the series is continuing as sceduled and will contain the entire original Shaman King series in 52 episodes. We need to wait either for an official announcement or get a bit further in before we can hope it got extended run

So... did Horohoro team up with Ren and Yoh took Faust in offscreen? iirc Horo was in Yoh's team before that helicopter scene, or did I miss something in previous episodes?

Horo Horo was in Ren's team. Ren said that he doesn't care if it's HoroHoro or Ryu, he just needs a third. After Ryu said that he will only be on the team with Lyserg, HoroHoro automatically landed on team the Ren, since Ren already had 2 members.

Yes Faust joined offscreen. There was no reason to show that scene - Faust wanted to join, Anna said they are taking Faust, and team Funbari did not have a team of 3 - it was take Faust or be disqualified even if Anna didn't decide the team

Oh I see, thanks! I assumed Horohoro really disliked the idea of teaming up with Ren and I wondered why the change of heart

Finally, an arena. Ren's family have come to spectate :D

Like I thought, due to their similar pasts, Lyserg is going to be a member of the X-Laws.

Ah, the Monk musicians Boz are back. Ren made the right decision to have Chocolove on his team.

But the third member they joined up with is using their exhausted bodies as puppets?
