| Yoh a killer like look on his face but this episode also had its intense energy beyond just his character. Not going to lie, I feel like Yoh takes on any challenge without backing down whether it would take him to hell or not. Gandhara definitely has some sort of dark motive... |
 |
| Okay, Yohken vs Yoh was entertaining... |
 |
| Jeez... how many more times will these kids have to die in this show? |
| Kinda getting tired of being jerked back and forth on the emotional rollercoaster ride, like, every other minute. I get that it's a thing, I get that the manga's been speedrun from the start, but it's just... idk, there's zero time for anything to settle or properly unfold (or even happen), and it's rather exhausting at this point. And yeah everyone's dying but then not but then yes but then not again... things meant to be upsetting with the abruptness or the grandeur, but they fail because the shtick's lost its edge. |

There's also the fact that after Yoh dropped the tournament it seems like everyone started to accept Hao would win it either way, rendering it pointless. When I watched the first instance of this show I loved it, but what we were shown here has a terrible and rushed writing, and only the latter is excusable because it isn't taking the manga's pace in consideration. This remake is one of the worst stories I've ever watched. |
| So with only ten episodes left, and a lot still left to cover, a thought entered my head that horrified me. This anime isn't planning on ending where the original manga did, is it? Because that ended abruptly with no conclusion. |
apokaliz500 said: Yeah, I've read the actual finale. I'm just remembering when my heart sank the first time around.The manga actually got conclusion, additional volume was released a few years ago, I'm assuming they are going to cover it too. Which is actually worrying with just 10 episodes left... Either way, centering the entire anime around the episode placement of Osorezan Revoir, as much as I love it, was probably a bad idea |
| The battle of Yoh vs. Yohken...was fine, just like the other many battles showcased so far in the last few months. As for the Gandhara's mission to release the Spirit of Fire back to whence it came from (the 5 Warriors), the Patch Tribe officiant Namari is netural in his stance, if nothing is done then Hao and his followers will easily get what they asked for. Even in Hell, Yoh's spirit is being tested as part of a great trial, the same way that Chocolove did before...and the 5 Warriors are back in Hell (at least for Chocolove being yet again) for the exact same thing. Marco, Ave Marco. To protect Tamao and Manta from Anahol, and Hao relaying the message that the X-Laws have all been wiped out...saving the 5 Warriors destined to defeat Hao is the only resolution left. |

This remake is one of the worst stories I've ever watched. The writing actually was really great in the manga, but it really relied on all those moments being properly drawn out, which is not the case with this pacing and it really hurts the story. I'm criticising the adapted screenplay because I was talking about the anime, this anime and the manga don't have the same writing, the former is bad because it is rushed. Nevertheless, the manga story is also bad, not because it is rushed, but because it is bad in itself. So the anime has only one problem, and it managed to make worst something that was already bad. That's why Shaman King was only popular early on and it isn't remember in the same regard as other mangas from the late 90's early 2000's. |
| the training in hell of the 5 chosen warriors continues will Marco die though |

Imagine getting a second chance twenty years later and instead of taking it as an opportunity to right the wrongs, they just make even more of a piecemeal of it. And this with the original mangaka on board somewhere or other in the production. My heart weeps. =/ And indeed, the fact that everyone's basically given up kinda pulled the entire rug out from under everyone's feet. Which can be felt too, the fight's barely shown or even talked about anymore. |

| Marco might actually die given the situation. |
 |
| At this point the shaman king tournament will be held in hell lol |
 |
| This episode had (possibly by accident) one of the funniest moments. We cut to this guy chilling in an open plain with Tamao and Manta, and I don't quite remember what happened in their last scene. Then he says, "I didn't expect that raccoon dog to protect you with his ballsack just before the explosion," which is a sentence that will not be doppelgangered for a long time. And then he adds, "too bad the others couldn't be saved, though," and I'm like, Oh...oh yeah, dead people. I guess that's why Manta and Tamao look distraught. |
| maybe it's due the fast pace, but this whole story feels too much artificial. everyone talking about "dying" and "resurrection" like it's eating cheese. being death in shaman kind becoming much less a deal than in dragon ball. and the shaman battles don't feel that interesting anymore. i want this anime to end already . . . |

| Ghandara's plan is in motion, the 5 warriors are all sent to their own hells. Second time round for Chocolove though. Will he keep is eyesight next time he makes it back to the land of the living, though? |
