Shaman King: Flowers Episode 13 Discussion

Everyone is waiting for Hana to return to them

season 2 please 🙏

Well, that's pretty much how the manga ended as well because the manga was cancelled before Takei could even finish the story (Just like original SK manga before they released the Complete Edition years later).


Agreed. I wonder what's the point of even animate this in the first place if they're not going to adapt some contents from Superstar sequel to at least end the Sakurai arc properly. They went ahead to adapted Jeanne's death scene from Red Crimson spin-off (Which happened off-scene in the Flowers manga) and the card dude's backstory from his own one-shot manga, but they couldn't bother to adapt the stuffs from Superstar for some reason. Keep in mind that Flowers manga is worse than the anime in some way unlike SK 2021 where it's the otherway around.


Also, if you think Flowers is bad, be prepared when they eventually announced the anime adaptation of Superstar (Which take place just right after last episode of Flowers) as that one managed to be even worse than Flowers due to it's abyssal pacing and pointless fillers that made original Bleach and Naruto anime looks like masterpiece by comparison lol.

@MahiaErebeaNegi It wasn't cancelled. the magazine that was publishing it closed down.

As for a sequel, we still have SuperStar to adapt but they may wait for that to finish.

@MahiaErebeaNegi So, they've fully adapted Flowers at this point and if we get a sequel next, will it be a Superstar adaptation?

@RobertBobert Pretty sure they will gonna be adapt Red Crimson and Marcos spin-offs first since the stuffs there will plays important roles on Superstar later on (Such as revealing Team YVS's members/goals and more details for FoM tournament), or else people would be confused as hell without the knowledge from the spin-offs lol.

They have only actually adapted like two scenes from the spin-offs, one for card dude's backstory and another one for Jeanne's death (And her death was shown without the contexts on how exactly did it happened). I don't think Jeanne one really count as extra info considering all we got was just a few screenshots.

Without spoilers, those spin-off introduced a bunch of new characters (Funnily enough, few of those new characters was created by Stan Lee back in 2008 for one of SK spin-offs lol) who would later reappeared in Superstar and the manga treats them as if it's expecting people had already familiar with them without explaining to new readers on who they were (This also applies to the extra infos that were only mentioned on the spin-offs as well).

@MahiaErebeaNegi So, if I understand you correctly, they need something like an OVA or special episodes?

Sort of, I guess? I think Red Crimson might able to be adapted into 60 minutes OVA, tho I guess 6 to 8 episodes series would work better in terms of pacing for both RC and Marcos.

Now that I think about it, it's weird that they haven't announce any new project yet since Flowers was announced immediately after SK 2021 ended like, aren't their main goal is to adapt the entire franchise into thee or something like that?

Yeah, that just turned out to be… a bad ending, to put it lightly. I thought it was obvious already but Hana’s finally figured it out. Time to finally get out of that island and acquire Sakurai-san under his control. On the other hand, badass Tamao-san was nice to see.

Not much else to say about this season, in all fairness. Found it to be very average, all in all.

Kamikaze = Divine Warrior

This is how the Emperor convinced pilots to go through with this, because of "Family Honor".

Sadly... this is also how Japan's army got shit on later, as they have nearly no more pilots to protect their battleships, SADGE be with YAMATO, RIP.

(the anime isn't completely wrong, Japan had very good Squads that are on par or even better than Germany and America when the war first started, it's how they were able to dominate the Pacific so fast)

.

However... while "kamikaze" is widely looked down upon. But current era warfare STILL have Kamikaze. As Kamikaze in war only restricts to actual human beings, it does not apply to unmanned. Such as 30% of current warfare between Ukraine and Russia is unmanned Kamikaze drones.

And Hana is learning more about Life, Evil, Death, and LOVE.

Time for that Friendship Powerup.

.

And now... to wait for another 3 years for the season 2 of this series.

Sorry, but I liked Boruto: Naruto Next Generations more than this. This show was just meh. At least the pacing was better than Shaman King (2021). And apparently, this ended in the middle of an arc? While also being a complete adaptation of the manga? lol. An abrupt ending where Hana is still unconscious in the final episode.

Also, no announcement of a Shaman King: The Super Star anime after the final episode aired? I guess this is it for Shaman King. Unless they're just waiting for the Super Star manga to end first, which will not be ending anytime soon. And even if it does get announced, I don't have high hopes for it, considering the manga has quite a low rating and ranking.
