Team Hana-Gumi turned into waitresses now lol. Cute.

Got some interesting storytelling about Anna this episode. Pleased to also see more of Matamune in the show and the focus of his character. Seems she had a cold personality back then too lol, literally.

The flashback episode. The story of when Yoh first met Anna was pretty interesting. Their first impression was shine!(die). LOL

btw, Osorezan is the real place in Japan.

Not a bad episode but it was super weird suddenly jumping into a flashback from such an important event like Yoh dropping the shaman fight. lol

I've been waiting to see this animated for a very long time now, and it's just as good as I remember it. Matamune is great.

We finally start the long-awaited Ozoresan Revoir arc.

Yoh's departure from the Shaman Fight in exchange for Iron Maiden Jeanne to save Ren, it's a dastardly decision in the making because of the "Power of Friendship" trope.

But both Yoh and Anna's journey begins way before the Shaman Fight: 5 years back in 1995 at Izumo. Pretty funny that his grandpa Yohmei already found him a fiancée (which is of course Anna, meeting her in Ozoresan, Aomori), now that's a real shocker. The first impressions of both Yoh and Anna is just "die" LOLS BRUH.

The split-tailed cat guardian spirit Matamune who's been serving the Asakura family also makes his first-ever appearance since the 2001 OG anime didn't really get that far ahead. The journey to find friends (but the fiancée first), as well as Tamao's training under Mikihisa, the Asakura family starts fearing for the worst with Anna coming into the picture.

The first taste of the Ultra Senji Ryakketsu and the Over Soul, Yoh's story weaving is just getting started.

Those that have read the manga have been excited for this arc and I can see why, I am really liking this so far. It's nice to see Yoh's childhood and how he met Anna. Anna is ferocious even as always even when she was younger, all is right with the world.

Matamune is really cool. He's been with the Asakura family for more than a thousand years, so I guess he has history with Hao. I guess Yoh's spirit of sword is like Matamune's oversoul, that's cool. Looking forward to the next episode.

I didn't expect these flashbacks will be so much interesting. Matamune is so cool, he's like sifu to Yoh.

I guess this ARC never really came to the OG anime adaptation because I don't remember a single thing about Matamune, but I am liking this so far! the cut from Yoh quitting Shaman King to This Arc may well give us some answers as to how Yoh grown as a person

Cat over a thousand years old, that's a lot thing, he's very old.

Plus we had flashbacks of Yoh that's cool for the plot, I'm looking forward to the next few episodes.

Backstory arc for Yoh, Anna and the story of how they met, huh? Well, this should be interesting. Already liking Matamune's character so that's a good sign.

That's admirable of Yoh, #respect legend.

Time for backstory of when he first met Anna and it's already quite amusing.

Smallest of corrections, but 5 years, not 3 years. Anna states in the episode they met 5 years ago. Though I do understand where the confusion comes from, the anime presents the events happening back to back to back so it's not unreasonable to assume that Yoh is still 13 like he was in the first episode. But the series starts in 1998 and the Shaman Fight takes place late 1999 / early 2000's

God, I really don't care about how Yoh and Anna met. Hope this flashback ends soon so we can get back to present time.

this episode was so bad, they aged them back yet they act completely the same, what exactly was the point of making them younger

Marco believes Yoh has an ulterior motive in accepting Jeanne's offer to save Ren in exchange for forfeiting.
Oh so the cat in the outro is Matamune and the spirit ally of the whole family.
Anna and Yoh have a rocky start.

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022
