| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah yes, we should never forget how awesome Tao Jun she is. Tbh, she was kinda overlooked at times but this episode gave her some well deserved screen time. Felt more like a buildup episode though. Yoh is at a point in his life where every decisions he makes matters. |
 |
| The new opening is pretty fire. Not a bad ep overall, so Yoh will withdraw from the tournament to save Ren. That ought to fuck up many things. lol |
| Wow New OP & ED, didn't expecting it at all. I guess i like the ED more. Animation still same, i think at this point i shouldn't expecting more at all. Looks like HoroHoro and Chocolove are leaving the team? |
 |
Symmg said: This episode is out where? Netflix still only has 13 episodes. Of course available somewhere on internet. |
|
Am I the only one who's kinda aprehensive about this in the new OP: Like... They won't give this anime the PRINCESS HAO alternative setting/ending, right? RIGHT??? |
| The new OP by Nana Mizuki is pretty good! Though Kinami Kuribayashi's 1st OP is really hard to dethrone. The new 3rd ED by saji is, I'd say the best of the EDs so far. Ren, Horohoro and Chocolove getting thrashed by remnants from both Hao and the Patch Tribe, and it's clear that they value numbers as seen by Hao's enormous Shaman power. But to Yoh, Ren is still the same Tao Ren that's done from his past grievances, and telling that to Nickrome whom still harbours anger, it's a complicated affair. To save Ren, Yoh asks Manta to request the X-Law's Iron Maiden Jeanne's help to revive him, while the other groups spar outside of the arena. Using Jun's Kung Fu Pyron Oversoul against Kanna's Knight Ashcroft Oversoul to see his growth, and a cheat method of integrating missile into one of his hands, it's a secret weapon of a modified Oversoul for a marital artist. Romantic cheats yoh... The Shaman Fight at this point might as well be Yoh's Asakura faction and the X-Laws vs. the 1.25 mil Furyoku Hao and his other respondents, which with every fight, gets even worse. The condition that to revive Ren, Yoh must withdraw indefinitely, friends a.k.a the power of friendship are more important than losing people, which didn't sit well with Horohoro and Chocolove for a split. Even Marco derides Yoh to the point of no return. Things are definitely getting more interesting now that we're in the 2nd half of the entire adaptation, well past the manga's midway point. |
 |
| The only decency from this episode is the new OP, sung by Nana Mizuki the legend herself. Otherwise, Shaman King "Brotherhood" has been nothing but underwhelming mediocrity at best. |
 |
| God, that new ED hit me hard. The new OP is a banger as well Cannot stress enough how good this adaptation has been especially in the past few episodes. Like yeah, it was rushed at points, but seeing all the manga exclusive stuff animated is such a good feeling |
| so Yoh will retire from the Shaman Fight Tournament eh welp the real fight is outside that Tournament as the grand official says anyway nice OP and ED and who is that cat in the ED |
| Talk about an episode. The new opening was nice. The ending was fire good. Anyways. Yoh comes in on time to save Horohoro and Chocolove. Though Ren is beyond saving. So asking the Iron Maiden for help. That aside. Reminder that a Shaman's Furyoku increases each time of near death experience which I can't believe I forgot. Not only that the Iron Maiden and her crew found out about Yoh being the brother to Hao. The only terms they come is that he withdraws from the Shaman fight. Which is really pathetic honestly because he is not a bad guy. But whatever. That aside the scene with Pyron was pretty cool. Though the fight is not even over yet. I guess not all of Hao's lackey's are not pathetic as I thought they were. |
| talk about an opening with spoilers... |
| I'm all down for that onee-san fight between Jun and Bismarch. Also Ren, the new MC? Let's go! |
| New opening and ending are bangers. I think I prefer the first two endings but the opening was pretty great in my eyes. I'm glad they changed things up |
 |
| new op and ed are pretty nice, still prefer the first op tho but maybe that's bc ive listened to it for 27 episodes yoh withdrawing from the tournament to save ren? rens gonna be pissedd when he wakes up lmao |
| Always surprises me how much everyday profoundness there is in Shaman King, and this episode absolutely shined with that too. The whole thing about numbers and one's hopes for potential, the value and meaning of one's dreams vs a friend's life - what friendship itself means. Sentimental claptrap in a way, but manga/anime often builds with such basic building blocks, and not always in a successful manner. Here though... I think it worked beauitfully. And I'm still biased af, but THIS new ending, after THIS episode? Come the fudge on, just make them kiss already, why don't you. Heh. |
| That was a great episode! New OP and ED was great and I especially liked the ED. Chocolove and Horohoro really needs to get stronger too, they got left in the dust by the others and knowing their furyoku numbers did not help boost their confidence. Anna is fucking badass as always. Also good to see Jun in action again and her blossoming relationship with Pyron who already had a wife and kid when he was alive lmao. The machine gun arms was pretty funny and cool. Hao reincarnated and reincarnated for many years to get stronger, but Jeanne out here torturing herself almost 24/7 to get stronger. She's fucking hardcore, I can respect it. It's really interesting where things are going with Yoh dropping out of the Shaman Fight. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Where to start? Seeing Kanna battle is YES! The ending is so beautiful and of course I always enjoy seeing my boy Chocolove |
 |
| Felt like a filler episode, with the most interesting thing being the car conversation. The "don't be limited by what others claim to be your potential" (i.e. the numbers) is nice and all, but knowing your limits is also important. Otherwise you can ganbare all you want without getting anywhere. If this anime had any guts, they'd kill off Tao Ren for good. So far, only disposable characters have died and it's clear that the main cast have plot armor (at least until the end, I assume). And, like someone else said, Yoh's wishy-washy attitude with everything going on around makes him seem too detached. Someone will be worrying and Yoh will throw a "daijobu" and they'll suddenly be fine. Not to mention the "I won't forgive him for doing X thing"...who cares about Yoh's forgiveness? What thick-skinned person will care about what a random person thinks of them? Never understood this. I'm watching out of inertia at this point but hope it'll get interesting soon. The Mikihisa/Tao Ren episode was decent but so far I can count the memorable moments on the fingers on one hand and still have spares. |
| X-laws are just so annoying, but they definitely need to save Ren's life, nice new OP&ED |
 |
| So the condition is Yoh abandoning the Shaman King tournament? Damn this sux. |
 |
| Ayy Pyron and Jun are back. Lol that 'missile' punch was just straight up cheating |
 |
| Tao Jun modded Pyron lmao Yoh, being Hao's twin stuns Hao's followers whenever he enters the scene. Not even Faust can heal Tao Ren. Yoh thus places his hopes of the enemy of their enemy of the X-Laws. We learn Hao increased his Mana to ridiculous levels by going through the death-rebirth cycle. For similar reasons, Iron Maiden Jeanne has high mana through experiencing near-death state through daily torture. With Tao Ren's body dead, once he is revived by the X-Laws, the experience will also raise his mana significantly. Kick one of the people with the potential to defeat Hao out of the tournament? You're digging your own grave. |

| Moment of sacrifice!! |
| WTH, new opening, now? i mean, it's make sense since it's past over episode 26, but this opening told so much. not only the power-ups . . . about the episode. i felt that they slowed the pace down a lot only to get this ending to the cliffhanger. and i'm not even gonna talk about the lousy animation and art. seriously, this episode was made so bad. the only thing good here is the story. yoh gonna quit the tournament? seriously? why i can't just see it happens? and why it's no known-all that yoh is hao's brother? |
