| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy shit, all those limps blown off or at least from what they saw in their own visions. A very tough trial imo and they've just gotten started. This episode was a tough one for Yoh and his group A very hype episode though. |
 |
| The final segment of the episode where the colors turn monochrome was intense!! I loved it!! Time for Lyserg next week! |
| Uhh, finally the most interesting character appears imo I don't know why they haven't noticed that he is identical to You 0.0 Well, as always, can't miss a random fight, this time to make them realise who Hao is... Coincidences of life Apart from that, the designs of the secondary characters look really ugly to me Hao is very OP ๐, I want to see how You defeats him with the power of friendship And I guess there's a power up coming too, because I doubt they can beat him now |
| Indeed hao makes this even better, of course they skip but as someone who forgot the most of the manga (I read it years ago), I'm enjoying this. |
| The Shaman Fight is coming, and it will be a BIG showdown of one that can only be the Shaman King. Time to leave all pleasantries behind, and concentrate to the max! Hao's introduction easily alone is more than enough, his demeanor of a character is how I imaged it exactly like the manga, and he is a force to be reckoned with, with his Over Soul and lackeys alongside this proclaimed "future" Shaman King. I don't mind that the myriad of characters aren't all introduced at once, but slowly since we're only officially 1/4 the way through this year-long complete reboot. The Shaman Fight starting off with the Patch Tribe's Over Soul of a 747 to reach the Patch Village withn 3 months, that is a daunting Round 1. Lilirara of the Seminoa as the 1st obstacle and sharing her past experiences of the Shaman Fight, this rando fight I can already tell the consequences if Yoh and Co. are to survive for long in this never-ending fight that will last for quite sometime. But smearing Silva's name through illusions? It's more like Hao who started this whole fiasco, and everyone is dying to know the truth. Like the OP, it would be better if Yoh and Co. could earn more Shaman warriors together in their journey. Yep, the power of friendship works again. Aside from the fast adaptation, it's coming together along nicely. Hao is a legit antagonist through and through, and the journey is just the beginning. |
 |
| I kinda wish the first half was a full episode, and Lilirara was saved until next week. Would've given more time to preview certain characters we'll see later on, plus give time for everyone to properly say their goodbyes in the beginning. Still though, the execution with Lilirara and the introduction of Hao was perfect, and I'm still excited because the journey to Patch Village was one of my favorite arcs in the manga. |
| so patch guy is the one who.... took hao away right when he was born? insane ass fuck |
| Hao is not messing around, he wanted only Shamans to remain and all humans dead huh |
| This episode was nice. Though it does feel a little fast or rushed for some reason. That aside the scenes with Hao really does show how dangerous he really is. The story about Patch was interesting. A bad demon is just born while the Patch tribe was nothing bad at all. Just the guy himself with the Spirit with Fire is the bad one. He even wants revenge on humans. Let me guess. Something bad happened with him with a group of humans and he considers all humans the same. And now he wants to exterminate them all with the best Shamans there is. Sure Humans can be very scummy or evil in so many ways. But not all are like that. I guess depending on the event or the situations he must've gone through multiple times. I guess he was just very unlucky. Sorry. My guess could be very wrong... Xp |
| Well that sure escalated fast at the end. I agree with the others, this was hands down the best episode so far. I don't even remember if this was in the OG (I remember Hao was in it but maybe his introduction was different), we are likely hitting new territories now. Also did Yoh and Anna smash there? lol |
| *Hao appears* Great, I'm already annoyed..>:I |
   |
| That was definitely the best episode so far. Did Anna and Yoh... you know ( อก° อส อก°). How small, so Yoh's brother finally makes an appearance, which is the reincarnation of that patch dude. The banter of our squad was hilarious this episode and Ryu's hair is still evolving as we speak. Lilirara was cool, didn't expect her to just get killed immediately, Jesus Hao. Things are getting spicy, looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Finally Hao and his crew have made their appearance so things should start to get way more interesting. Curious to see more changed from the original anime from this point on. Next episode Lyserg's getting introduced who's probably gonna be one of my favorite male characters from this remake. Can't wait for the X-Laws stuff. |
 |
| Finally we had Yoh x Anna "scene" and Hao's appearance. I want to see more scene with Anna and being so weak. (if y read the Manga you know ^^) Looking forward also to see X-Law design also.. |
“Reality rejected… synapses shattered… be vanished from this world!” ~ Rikka Takanashi  |
| Yoh and Anna spent the night together, hmm they just slept right? Hao finally makes his appearance and he's kind of weird. Also that backstory was okay. |
 |
| Hao voice sounded so familiar and it is because I've recently replayed Danganronpa lol He is all red eye, long hair, gonna destroy humanity like Izuru. Yoh and Anna...spending some quality time. Poor Tamao D: This episode was really fast...I wonder how they are going to introduce and reintroduce some of the characters. It was also way more violent...at least from at I remember hehe |
 |
| The amount of gore and outright naughty bits continue to surprise me tbh. But putting that aside.... It keeps being weird. Nevermind how they rush and outright skip stuff often enough, the amount of which just varies... But it's also weird how sometimes they look so sharp and clean, and then sometimes it looks like they didn't even try to spend time drawing a frame. No wonder the raiting fluctuates, the episodes themselves fluctuate inconsistently. And is everyone's skin really so bleached white or is that just my screen?? It's unnatural. |

| Finally some good fucking food Stay hot Hao |
| Did my boy Yoh actually get laid with his girl before leaving to the Shaman Tournament? That's some alpha shounen protagonist shit. Nice. Not gonna lie, this episode was actually pretty damn good. OST was on point once again and so far, I'm quite liking this dude Hao as the main antagonist. |
| Even though the real plot is supposedly finally starting, this still feels rushed. I guess the pacing is gonna stay like this for the rest of the show? How are manga readers feeling about this adaptation? |
| If not for that post credit scene, I would have dropped this. Never expected that to happen. The scene with Yoh waving back at Hao was hilarious and cute. That flute OST is so good. |
| Stuff only gets more hype from here on. |
| Waiting for the stone ocean 3 anime |
| Best episode so far. I like Hao as a villian. |
| HYPE!!! So Hao isn't exactly Yoh's brother? He's possessed by "Silva's" spirit? Rip that girl though, brutal death. I like these 4 guys. Can't wait for the next adventures. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
Alex_TheForest said: HYPE!!! So Hao isn't exactly Yoh's brother? He's possessed by "Silva's" spirit? Rip that girl though, brutal death. I like these 4 guys. Can't wait for the next adventures. No, Yoh and this Hao are definitely twins. You'll learn the whole story eventually but basically he's reincarnated multiple times. He just looks like Silva in the flashback because for that reincarnation he was born into Silva's Patch tribe. |
|
| Hao looks dope. There was a lot of new characters this episode and I may forget some by the type they become relevant lol. But decent enough episode and it's sad that manta and the rest are out of the picture now |
 |
| Battle Royale starts, "Where we dropping boys" Poor Lilirara :( What a tonal shift. Looking forward to more. Sad that we won't see best girl Anna, and Jun for however long! :'( |

| Oh yeah the night of the conception of Yoh and Anna's son (xD) Now that they're in America it's more interesting, and of course the situation is still tense. Hao at the end was epic, Lilirara saw it too, that's sad. |
 |
| Hao just have the Charisma around him... Okay so why in the Flashback Silva looks like Hao? Damn that was fast, RIP Lilirara |
 |
| Now they finally meet Hao. Experiencing the pain of dismemberment damn... I'm guessing physically that Patch dude that wrecked the Seminoa tribe was the ancestor of Silva (so his face looks like him) but spiritually he was a previous incarnation of Hao Asakura (so he dresses like him) |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| rip Lilirara, waifu material gone to waste |
 |
| I think this episode was a mixed bag for me. I'm not really a Hao simp, so I never really cared much about him, but he hab really interesting scenes in this episode. I keep enjoying how fresh this retelling feels, but I'm not digging the animation that much. There was a lot going on too, but I'm also glad they skiped all the filler from the old anime. Also I'm guessing this episode was supposed to come as more darker (specially with that ending) but I felt it keeps getting watered down. The pacing between the happy light moments and the silly jokes vs the more dramatical and dangerous scenes is what also makes it a bit weird for me to take serious the later. Also love how weirder they keep making Ryu's hair gag. |
 Happy New Year! |
| Cool character types |
