Shaman King Discussion & Question Thread

[craniumissues]

are there any sites that have the latest shaman king translated manga for direct or bt download? seems that the ones that are given in the forums are all either irc, dead sites, or not up-to-date.....

[Lee]

i use to watch it but then naruto came along and i stopped watching it.

[ACTAWESOME]

im also wondering

[Vaelen]

You'll have to go to Manga-Rains IRC channel for the latest chapters..
#manga-rain @ irc.irchighway.net

[jewboy606]

does anybody know where i can find some shaman king manga? and anything else thats really good (im open to sugestions)

[mpthread]

for shaman king you either have to buy the versions from viz or go on irc and get them from manga rain

if your looking for other titles check the recomended manga post

[4thokage]

where can i get chapters higher than 128?

[AsanoHa]

I believe manga-rain has translated up to 128 or 129 of Shaman King. If you want a good site send me a message and I'll hook you up.

where can i get chapters higher than 128?

You can't, manga-rain hasn't done the translations any higher than 128 yet.

[Faust]

anyone else here like it too? also i would like to know if there are any site like narutofan where you can download all the chpater in english :)

[hopeless ninja]

[4thokage]

[Throes]

Yeah, it's good, I only want to see it subtitled, hopefully on the DVD it will contain an uncut dual language one.

[Sayo]

some1 move this? =\

[SabakuKyuu]

I have watched it before 4kids licensed it and it was good. Then i watched the 4kids version and i think it kinda sucks lol, i hope they do make an uncut version.

[HinataFanBoy]

ugh, 4kids version is horrible >_<

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Moved.

Be sure to make your threads in the correct Forum next time.

Oh, and...SHAMAN KING ROCKS M WORLD!!!

Tao Jun kicks your ass.

That is all.

[narutofan20052005]

Can any1 put a link to where i can download the manga?

[Shikamaru-sama]

Just like to say this is one of my favourite animes of all time, and Ryu of the Wooden swrod is one of my favourite characters ever!

seriously good anime, until i watched the dubs on Fox Kids and Tao Ren is an english public school boy *looks angrily at english anime dubbers*

[Faust]

Sry that i posted in the wrong thread but i've readup to volume 8. And if you have read it (not seen it i don't know where that is in the story line) i picked my name and avatar after the best char Faust the eighth

[Rurouni]

I think Shaman King is awesome. But, I don't like the dub :/

[Yoshi]

I watch the english version on jetix in the uk, tis cool.

[Jack Bauer]

I heard they show it in the Phillippines. Das xool.

[Yoshi]

Why is the manga better?

[Violence Fight]

Why is the manga better?

Well I can't speak about the Animated version of SK they show in japan, since I haven't seen it. But if we compare this to the Foxbox version of Shaman King its a no contest. But then again, comparing anything to 4kids is a no contest.

[defenestrator]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly did 4Kids cut out of it? I can't really think of much that would be offensive or unsuitable for kids. :confused

[Shikamaru-sama]

I dont know what they cut out of it because i only saw one episode, but i do know that the dubbed voices were very very very bad. The dubbed ACTING was even worse and the theme tune sucked.

[Yoshi]

Man the theme tune sucks, it so CORNY!!!!!!!!! Cornier than creamed corn out into a corned shaped container, sold by the company Corny Mc Corn

[Faust]

Man the theme tune sucks, it so CORNY!!!!!!!!! Cornier than creamed corn out into a corned shaped container, sold by the company Corny Mc Corn

Rofl

And does anyone know where to download the manga?

[Violence Fight]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly did 4Kids cut out of it? I can't really think of much that would be offensive or unsuitable for kids. :confused

I'm not sure what all they cut Out. I know the Marijuana Leaf(could be a different plant leaf, but I'm assuming its weed due to Yohs laid-back nature) from Yoh's Jacket is gone. I'm sure alot of the killing(the violent death scenes) were cut out. stuff like that.

[Shikamaru-sama]

What violent death scenes?

for it being such a kick ass anime, this was one friendly anime, amyeb the deaths of the X-Laws aside.

[Jack Bauer]

Violent death scenes in SK? Wow! I didnt even know that. Also yes as somebody mentioned, the dubbed voices are *Simon's voice* tottally abysmmal.

Yoh sounds like a hippie with a shotgun upp his butt.
Ryu sounds like a retarded Cuban drug lord.
Horo-horo sounds like Mizuki on crack.
Manta sounds like a dog forced to learn english.
Anna sounds like a girl with an all day period.

Do I need to go on?

[Nionel]

Check directmanga.com, they have the SK manga through Chapter 131, as well as a lot of other good manga on there

[suPMah]

i'm in fact kinda pissed on manga-rain for being so slow with their publishing..
i wanna moreeeeee!

[silent_speech]

double-time, the Shaman King shown in the Philippines is GREAT!!! They didn't change the 2 original openings, the voices actually FIT the characters, plus they didn't cut anything from the original (that's what i know anyway...)

My only complaint back then was that I wasn't able to see the last few eps because we needed to move...

I really hate the 4kids version, they just had to give Ren Tao the english accent, they made Yoh sound like some guy who just got out of bed, and worst of all they changed HAO's name to ZEKE!!! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! How dare they disrespect the great name of Hao-sama?!?!

[Invisus]

4Kids release an uncut DVD with subs, so you guys really shouldn't gripe about it. They show the dub for little kids and to follow FCC rules for TV content and then release uncut subbed dvd's.

If you are going to bitch, you should bitch about your community and government who sets the laws for content allowed to be shown on TV.

[Anime_Aries]

I love the manga for Shaman King and the Japanese version of the anime. It's a shame that 4Kids had to obtain it because they totally butcher it. (WTF! Why does Ren who is Chinese have an English accent and Lyserg who is English doesn't?) I'm only on chapter 56, but one difference I noticed from the manga and anime is that in the anime Ren and Jun are captured by their uncle when in the manga he is their father. Also, he had a panda in his lap and when he got mad he totally squished its head! (Poor panda! ;_; ) Anyways, that's all I've noticed so far, but I would recommend boycotting the 4Kids version and watching the original Japanese version and reading the manga! Oh yeah! Faust is the best! He's my favorite character!

Yes but they still alter the music and go out of their ways to force a mood and to make the voices not serious and quite 'goofy'... 4kids that is.

[YamiHikari]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly did 4Kids cut out of it? I can't really think of much that would be offensive or unsuitable for kids. :confused

It's not that they cut unsuitable stuff out, they cut things like the characters on Tao Jun's scrolls and such like that... A whole lot of people thinking magic=bad. They tried to turn Shaman King into another Harry Potter.

Anyways. Dub<Japenese<Manga.

I can't stand changed names in dubs. That's like if your name was Morti went over to Japan and they changed your name to something that you've never heard of like Manta. You'd be quite pissed off.

[defenestrator]

I can't stand changed names either, I actually get really attached to them. It's just wrong to change them, bordering on sacreligious.

And if they're going to be that politically correct on the whole 'magic' thing, good riddance to them, I say.

[Inactive Setsuna]

I really enjoy reading the Shaman King manga but I'm sorry to say that the anime totally sucked! I watched it in japanese with english caption so it's not a dubbed problem! :blink
I mean the 64 episode anime was far from what I was expecting! and the final conclusion was just boring: the lend-me your powers stuff so that I can beat the big boss is something I really hated in Saint Seiya! :mad

PS: I've read the manga up to volume22 so I know what I'm doing when I compare the manga to the anime!

[Giant Enemy Crab]

4Kids sux at dubbing Shamamn King. At least they didn't get naruto

I know a good place to get instant shaman king manga. www.manga-sama.com

[sofiane]

Your site doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone no where i could have the end of the series (from vol 25 to 32)
I'm so desperazte I'll also take IRC channel

[rangeofhakke]

I am up to 140 in shaman king. I want to download the chps after that but i don't know where. Directmanga.com usually host some, but right now the newist links they have for the chps don't work. Any one have a site i can get them from? or a irc channel that is not mangarain?

[darkknigh61189]

Hehe, I'm in with this guy as well. I really want to know what happens next!!

[PhearTehGrimace]

They have 141 chapters over at StopTazmo, best manga site I've ever seen. probably because I don't understand the mess that is IRC

[rangeofhakke]

Thank you for that, i have been wanting to read 141 and 142 for a while. IRC can be real annoying at times.

[Giant Enemy Crab]

I've been looking for SK on MSN forever!

[CABLE]

why on MSN? you mean you want to dl it? you can just go to directmanga.com

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

I found a place, I'll post it up when I find the link.

[pek]

[rubydust]

erm if anyone want chinese version of download can try at www.comicer.com, is a chaina web. got a lot of other manga in chinese there.

[Sands]

hey ppl!
who is your fav charcter in shaman king?
me? anna and ren second

[Maz-]

Anyone got any better sites? StopTazmo is very slow and DirectManga is a pay site..

[Akaichikyu]

is the manga end at 32?

[Bubbles]

I downloaded all the episodes but this was subtitled and probably over a year ago now, I can't remember where I got it (i'm not much use) do a google search and see what it comes up with.

Personally I thought the ending was really quite cheesy, I was a little disappointed. Don't be put off by me though because you'll want to know how it ends!

XX

[Tenten4Neji]

Same goes for me , I think the ending was a lil...bad at the anime *haven't seen the manga yet*

My favorite characters would be Hao and Anna

Just wondering, does anybody have the manga of Funbari no Uta?

Funbari no Uta is the sequel of Shaman King
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funbari_no_Uta

[JannetK]

Waah, does anyone know if they're still scanlating Shaman King? I´ve just read chapter 170 or something, and would really like to read the rest of the chapters.

PS : I´m also interested in the Funbari no Uta chapters. :) THANKS IN ADVANCE!

[RedSkyCoffee]

I've been looking for manga scans for SK for a while but no luck ... I'm only up to volume seven on it too ...

[shibigoku]

There are not much chapters of shaman king on the net. It's better to buy the released books.

[Mineko-Iwasa]

I've been looking for manga scans for SK for a while but no luck ... I'm only up to volume seven on it too ...

there aren't many scans on the net. the best is buying the volumes, like i did (up to volume 30 already :woo)

i don't think u find more translated scans on the net than til chapter 170.

if u are searching in french translation, they are almost finished translating the whole manga.

[isanon]

aww shit no more scans after 170.... and i cant afford to import the books from uk :(

[phuongthao]

i 've read chap 180 last year.

i think it's obvious that jojo will integrate with hao ==> become shaman king

[Kaaspeer]

bummer, i was looking for the manga releases i've just read it upto chapter 170 and i don't feel like buying the lot. :(

[Mineko-Iwasa]

its a great manga, you should buy it. really : )

[Kaaspeer]

But then i would still have the problem of everything being in japanese, wich i just happen to not understand a word of it.

[Mineko-Iwasa]

do you understand french?

if you do, you can buy them all like i am doing it. (still the last 2 volumes missing)

if you understand german, you can buy them too. tho i am not sure how many volumes are out.

and for english... i don't know. Try to check the places where u usually buy your mangas.

[JusDaMan]

Takei annouced at Japan-Expo that Volume 33 of Shaman King will be released later this year! It will be 280 pages.

Yay yay~!

[The Drunken Monkey]

That's good and all but we need some scanlators! Its been forever since Manga Rain did anything with Shaman King, I think we're stuck at Vol. 25.

[HEATAQUA]

Shaman King is getting a ending Wohoo!

[Ballerina]

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES SSS!!!!! This is even bigger news than the release of the last Harry Potter book!!!! WUHU!!!!!!

[Freija]

LOL there's an end ?

[Bergelmir]

Is this a rewritten/redrawn actual ending, or that crappy one they had in Jump god knows how long ago?

[Jetstorm]

Hell yeah!:dance

[Truesoul]

Great news! =))))

That's good and all but we need some scanlators! Its been forever since Manga Rain did anything with Shaman King, I think we're stuck at Vol. 25.

http://mankin-trad.net/main.php
Up to volume 28 :)
Also, now that we've heard that volume 33 is hopefully going to come out later this year / early next year, they're gonna try to get the rest released in time.

[The Sentry]

YeS, Yes, Yes lets all have SEX

[Yakushi Kabuto]

Holy...that is awesome, I stopped reading the series partially because I knew there was no conclusion yet...but now that it is continuing, I guess I totally have to resume reading!

[Yamato-takeru]

Err...Wait! Can someone explain this to me? I thought it has ended some time ago. Just what is so awesome about this? ._.

[RamzaBeoulve]

Err...Wait! Can someone explain this to me? I thought it has ended some time ago. Just what is so awesome about this? ._.
the ending was not an ending...
not even worthy of being called a cliffhanger....it just stopped...

[ParkingLot_PIMP]

so when does the anime cut off from the manga?

New Hiroyuki Takei Joint oneshot manga
http://shamanking-nation.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/sqextra.jpg
From the latest Jump SQ issue, hitting stands on March 4th, is a brand new advertisement, which states that on April 18th, a special Jump SQ edition will be released. Within this special issue is a special, one time only manga, drawn by BOTH Hiroyuki Takei and Stan Lee! For those who are unaware, Stan Lee has worked on the following American comics:

Spider-Man
The Fantastic Four
The X-Men
The Hulk
Iron Man
Daredevil

Jump SQ, since it’s launch has had several manga artists working together on special oneshot mangas, but this is the first time an American artist has had his work published in Jump SQ. Oneshot mangas tend to be be around 60 pages in length, but no number of pages were released with this ad.

Source: Shaman King Nation (http://shamanking-nation.com/english/hiroyuki-takei/new-hiroyuki-takei-joint-oneshot-manga/)


OMG! it's first time I've seen mangaka x amerikan comic

[The Drunken Monkey]

Stan Lee work with Takei? I laughed my ass off.

[Yamato-takeru]

Hm, what would this be about? =/

[jazz189]

Don't know what that's about but seems interesting

Oh almost forgot

Three more days till the return of Shaman King

[Lucifer]

^ u talking about volume 33? where is source?

[jazz189]

Source is right Here. (http://www.mankin-trad.net/)

[Dark Evangel]

Is Yoh omnipotent?

[Neenah]

I am so glad to see Mankin return with new chapters and a proper ending it deserves.
One of the few shounens I fell in love with.

And judging by the first 2 reprint covers, Takei has really improved his drawing style

:spaz

[~Avant~]

It hasn't come out yet.

[guari]

T_T how sad that my soul should cry this day...

any word on when it should be coming out?

[Jetstorm]

T_T how sad that my soul should cry this day...

any word on when it should be coming out?

The entire series is being re-released and the final volumes with the true ending are suppose to come out in Spring 2009.

[Majeh]

is this manga still being scanlated or did it just randomly end at 285..?

[Emperor Time]

My favorite character is Faust VIII since he a mix of both Marlowe Faust and Goethe Faust. Since Faust VIII is from Germany and Faust I was from the 1500's since Marlowe Faust was from England and the 1500's and Goethe Faust was from Germany and the 1800's which means that Hiroyuki Takei must have read both of those stories and used both to create Faust VIII.

[Majeh]

is this manga still being scanlated or did it just randomly end at 285..?

some1 answer plz..? :wtf

[Emperor Time]

I wish I knew but I don't know either.

[Jetstorm]

some1 answer plz..? :wtf

It only goes up to 285.

There isn't anymore material to scan until the re-print volumes conclude. After that the new material for Shaman King will be released around this time next year.

[Emperor Time]

It a long wait alright. :(

[Sasori-puppet#270]

so, i've read all of shaman king, and the end was terrible. actually, to be specific, it wasn't an ending. it just cut off. now i've found out that they plan on continuing it in a second series called something like shaman king zang bang keng wang (not actually, but something along those lines) which takes place 5 years after.

but, i am still not satisfied at all. if anyone else agrees with me, or thinks that it's just wrong to have a manga just end abruptly like that let me know. and if you agree and havn't heard, shonen jump is re-writing and re-releasing all 27 volumes (i think that's how many it is) or shaman king, and it'll include the actual end to the shaman fight. shaman king pt. 2 will be called Shaman King Kang Zeng Bang. with the way the releases are going, the final volume will be out by spring 2009. i don't know if this will be in japan or usa + canada.

[Kira U. Masaki]

dude there are quite a few mangas/animes that just end, its nothing new

[Inuhanyou]

Its getting remade with the true end soon, stop whining.

[Doom85]

What I'm confused about is the re-releasing (and re-writing?) of all the volumes. There are already 16 or so volumes out, should I not buy those? I'm confused as to exactly how these new releases will be different. Anyone who'd care to enlighten, I'd appreciate it. I tried reading the series online, but I've come to hate reading manga online even more than I hate watching anime on my computer. Give me the offical, paid-for, better quality version anyday.

Because if all they're doing is re-writing the last volume (followed by new volumes), then hell, I'll just buy the volumes out now, but hold off on buying the last one until the revised version comes out.

[Gary]

it has happened to many mangas

[Lusankya]

Most Japanese mangakas suck at endings. Its nothing new.

[Mat®icha]

i'm glad i dropped it before ending. simply lost interest.

[jirochimaru]

the worst is the very good manga hunter x hunter. the mangaka simply called it quits without ending.

Special Edition releases end up with some redrawn art, maybe more colored pages, SK will have a new ending, and for the most part only come out in Japan.

[Kira U. Masaki]

so is their really a sequel in the works? i might pick up the manga again if thats true.

[Doom85]

Special Edition releases end up with some redrawn art, maybe more colored pages, SK will have a new ending, and for the most part only come out in Japan.

Okay, in that case I might pick up the volumes at my bookstore when I've got the money (probably will be a while, I'm going to a con next month and there's a ton of good anime DVDs coming out this year).

[Ennoea]

Most Japanese mangakas suck at endings. Its nothing new.

Most of the time its not their fault, they're told to end a manga with in a number of chapters so end up either rushing or screwing it up completely.

the worst is the very good manga hunter x hunter. the mangaka simply called it quits without ending.

Wow do your research again. Togashi went on Hiatus, didn't end it.

Wow do your research again. Togashi went on Hiatus, didn't end it.

thats half true, alot of manga that end abruptly, get pulled so either theres no ending or its rushed --> perfect example is zombie powder by kubo tite, the manga is actually pretty good, but its just ends after three, because his publisher pulled it:cry
but there are also cases like satan666, the mangaka wanted to start a new work
or cases like rumiko t. , who from what ive heard alot of her major works dont have real endings, and its just a pattern with them

[Amatsu]

I'm just waiting for the true end like most other people. I'm sure the OP won't feel too disappointed when that comes out.

[jirochimaru]

Hey thre everybody, i would like to know if there is anyone else on this forum that are reading the popular manga by Hiroyuki Takei: Shaman king?

[Pitou]

I´m reading it:nod
the reprints 1-16 are released in japan
every month 2
here is the offical websites of the reprint
http://annex.s-manga.net/shamanking/

[Jetstorm]

Hey thre everybody, i would like to know if there is anyone else on this forum that are reading the popular manga by Hiroyuki Takei: Shaman king?

I re-read it a few months back. Still remains one of my favorite shonen manga to this day and I can't wait for Hiroyuki Takei to release the actual ending in 2009.

[Pitou]

shaman king was the first manga I`ve ever red
so I like it very much

[~Avant~]

I'm still eagerly awaiting the ending.

[Pitou]

I think hao and jeanne are really awesome but the manga fails because of the uberleveling of hao

[kurono76767]

i just read the manga a couple of weeks ago. it was my first time reading i was a big fan of the anime but the manga is way better. o am eagerly waiting for the true ending to one of my favourite shonen mangas. i hope it doesn't disappoint does anyone know how long the real ending will be?

[Pitou]

nyah the manga is 1000 tims better then the anime

the true ending will be released in reprint volume 27
july 2009 I think

[kurono76767]

nyah the manga is 1000 tims better then the anime

the true ending will be released in reprint volume 27
july 2009 I think

how long is the volume though? it's going to be hard to fit in 5 or 6 more fights (i lost count:P) then a battle against hao and someone has to become shaman king. that would be hard to fit in a regular volume of what around 10 chapters

[Pitou]

nyah the reprints have 12-15 capters
I don`t think takei will show every fight

mankin-trad is the page who translate it
I`ll search for new information

[kurono76767]

nyah the reprints have 12-15 capters
I don`t think takei will show every fight

mankin-trad is the page who translate it
I`ll search for new information

it would be weird if he didn't though. i have a feeling some of the members of the patch tribe will switch sides and we will have a patch tribe vs patch tribe battle while the group takes care of hao in a fight. either way itis going to be epic:amuse

[Pitou]

nyah the ending of shaman king will be released on april 2009

[reaperunique]

shaman king was the first manga I`ve ever red
so I like it very much

same for me, have re-read it 3x times now and I'm collecting the manga(in dutch) thinking about bying the french once so I can have y collection faster.

ow and for all your mankin news:
http://www.mankin-trad.net/ ^^

[Pitou]

nayh I read the german manga
volume 32 will be released in july

[Majeh]

Ok so i was Checking some Updates on MangaFox and i Noticed that it has just included Chapter 287. I dont want to read it cause im waiting on 286, but is this chapter real. If any1 could let me know i would appreciate it.

[Jetstorm]

As far as I know there is no 286 or 287.

There are the extra chapters with Yoh and Anna's son as well as a chapter showing Hao before he became an onmyoji.

There are the KangZangBang chapters which are going back to 265 and creating a proper ending from there. Only KangZangBang 265 and 266 have been released so far.

[Majeh]

As far as I know there is no 286 or 287.

I guess ill conclude that its a fake chapter or somethin and not read it.

As far as I know there is no 286 or 287.

There are the extra chapters with Yoh and Anna's daughter as well as a chapter showing Hao before he became an onmyoji.

There are the KangZangBang chapters which are going back to 265 and creating a proper ending from there. Only KangZangBang 265 and 266 have been released so far.

you mean son? :zaru lol

I can't wait for the actual ending, I love this manga, friggen wicked. I also wish they'd do a redo for the anime, one that follows the manga more closely :D

[Jetstorm]

Nice, I didn't catch myself writing that. XD

I don't know why I put daughter lol.

As for the actual chapters that were released, I must say that was one hell of a way for Marco to go out. That was pretty bad ass of him. :pek

It was badass, killing your friend and committing suicide at the same time. :zaru

the chapter after the 2 new chapters finally makes sense now though. :amuse Hopefully the rest of the fights won't be as short though.

[Shade]

Man, I left of in Shaman King somewhere back when all the chapters weren't scanlted. Now I wanna start reading again since KZB is coming out. The latest event I can remember is Marco's old life being recalled, any ideas?

edit: wait, r those new chapters like ACTUAL NEW chapters? or reprints of the old ones?!?! O_O

[Jetstorm]

They are actual new chapters with new content.

Basically 265 and beyond are being re-done so the series has an actual ending.

Wow thanks for the info, I didn't know the new old chapters would be out now I thought they would start June.

[dark messiah verdandi]

I am so glad mankin is getting a proper ending. I don't mind hao-sama in a dress and all (he has the butt for it:hurr.... Im such a homo :facepalm), but I wanted to see everyone with their s.o.n vs asakura "christ" and the g.s.

I know it is a futile task but surely hao will pity them and give them a fight to remember.
hopefully the story will end with yoh convincing hao to just make EVERYONE into shamans. that way everyone is happy. then they fuse and rule forever.

then I would be happy :cry.


question: is that too far-fetched?

well we know Yoh wins from Fubari no Osen (spelling? oO) lol the only question now is, how many more ppl died, and how'd he win? :zaru

[kurono76767]

well we know Yoh wins from Fubari no Osen (spelling? oO) lol the only question now is, how many more ppl died, and how'd he win? :zaru

It's a shounen, we all knew he was going to win in the end from day one it's only about how he is going to win.

I think they'll get their new spirits (SoF, SoE etc.) then they will transform into gundam suits like the way Hao used SoF and we will have an epic battle of the ages. :hurr

Its not clear that yoh win
maybe you died and haos mind changed or something else

^have u read Funbari no Osen? (spelling)?

Brand new fucking chapter out. :gar:gar:gar:gar

[Croagunk]

This is a very weird feeling for me.

I remember reading this years ago, and now I'm reading it all over again. My childhood has an erection over Kalim going beastmode on Horohoro.

AH NEED MOAR :argh

[Azure Flame Kite]

How did Kalim find out Horohoro's real name?

[Jetstorm]

How did Kalim find out Horohoro's real name?

Weren't the Patch always informed about their contestants backgrounds and identities?

It has been a while since I've read older chapters so I can't quite remember.

[noobthemusical]

It would be kind of Stupid if your Contestant won, and as he/she was being crowned they were like

Oh Great Shaman King/Queen... uhh what the hell is your name anyway.

[Ema Skye]

Did anyone read the latest chapter about Horohoro? :ohpek

Damuko :wtf

Link (http://www.mankin-trad.net/read/kzb-chapter-288/)

It was a pretty cool chapter. I wanna see how horohoro wins now. Does anyone know when the next chapter comes out?

[Majeh]

Are the KangZengBang chpaters gonna be from 265 and up or are they just gonna be 265 and 266 and then continue from the last 2 chapters that came out.?

Dang, I wish Damuko was permanent..

[noobthemusical]

Fucking Awesome:cry:cry:cry:cry:cry
Aww there love is so strong:cry:cry
/shaman King

yeah and To bad she has to go all Chibi again, Also his victory will probably be in some over dramatic fashion with him using his full power and such


Well now all we need is for the rest of the gang minus Yoh to get a Girl

[Pringer Lagann]

Dang, I wish Damuko was permanent..

Same here .

[Trafalgar Law]

290 was released. We have more of the loose ends filled in with this chapter. :amuse

Also fuck yeah Tao Ren. :awesome

[noobthemusical]

He better stop holding back and just one shot the bitch.

[Jetstorm]

Chapter 291 is out.

The fight didn't last long but that isn't surprising considering we only have less than 10 of them left now. With still plenty of Patch to deal with and Hao himself.

[Hat Hair]

While I have never felt that Shaman King has had great fights and felt that the initial Patch fights went on too long, this also feels a bit too quick, especially considering how much more important Kalim and Nichrome are in comparison to Bron. I'm still enjoying this, though, and really look forward to the finale. It would be nice to see Chocolove do something since it has been a while; he hasn't had a proper fight since the Shaman Fight ended. At the same time, I would also like to see Ryu have another shot, but I know that's far less likely to happen.

The mangaka was limited to only a volume so it's obviously going to be rushed but I'm glad that we're getting it at all.

Well, its not as if I'm complaining or anything; Takei has made good use of the chapters he has been afforded and Shaman King as a whole is a unique manga (especially for a shounen), but with that said, he has his weaknesses as a writer/artist, as most do. Doesn't change the respect that I have for him, though, and I know he'll deliver a powerful finale.

[xemteexx]

I'm really loving these past couple of chapters. Each one has some sort of sweet little moments about Anna and Yoh, to some degree...

290 had Hao and Yoh talking about mind reading and making a connection to Anna. And 291 had that adorable moment where Yoh talked about Ren finding a special someone too and having a family. That part, in my opinion, linked to Anna/Yoh so much. I loved the way Yoh was drawn when he said that-- so intimate and sweet. I love it that even though she's not in these chapters, there's some sort of moment that connects to her. Haha, I'm sure a pathetic Yoh/Anna fan... ^^

[noobthemusical]

CHAPTER 292 (http://www.onemanga.com/Shaman_King/286.6/01/) Is online

[kurono76767]

Probably one of the most interesting Path tribe fights yet. Is Silva next?

[~Avant~]

yeah next is Silva then the alien. finally we're on the last volume. Its all coming to a close in just a few more chapters

[Hat Hair]

Pretty good chapter.

Thalim went from being scared witless of Hao in his last appearance to dominating Yoh's group and lecturing them on plant life. It's a reminder of difference in their levels despite everything the group has been through to get to this point. Thalim's oversoul is pretty interesting; given how economic plants seem to be, you'd think they would be more popular among shaman, or maybe you'd actually have to know a lot about plants to utilize them properly. I can see that being a turn off for most. :amuse

[Grandmaster Kane]

Hao with the GS os is THE SHIT!

[Jetstorm]

Thalim has been one of the more interesting Patch members so far. Badass plant user I can appreciate. :pek

Hao with the GS os is THE SHIT!

Damn right. :lmao

[Jetstorm]

293 is out.

I was laughing hard when everyone realized that Chocolove hadn't done much of anything yet in comparison to others. :lmao

However, his erosion technique he pulled is very interesting. No surprise it was so powerful considering Hao used to do something similar with Spirit of Fire anyway.

[noobthemusical]

Oh shit now its time for Silva, I bet he lasts 2 chapters no wait 3...
that way the last 7? can be fore Hao

Also Chocolove pwns

[Wesley]

I hate this manga. I read it all over the course of several days and I really ended up hating pretty much everyone, except for Ren, Maiden, and Lyserg.

[Jetstorm]

294 is out.

A nice battle between Silva and Yoh. I'm a bit saddened that it can't last that long but oh well. Silva seems to have gotten his development and their fight will most likely end next chapter.

[tari101190]

i realy like these new shaman king chapters, but the pace seems really fast.

fights only last 1 or 2 chapters, although there is ALOT goin on within those few chapters actually. maybe i'm just used to dragged out fights like naruto and bleach.

i really like the art as well. i've saved lot of colour pics of the characters and O.S's etc released with the new manga guide.

since recently they are remaking anime like dragonball and full metal alchemist, i thought it would e good if they re-animated shaman king using the manga storyline. some of these fights would look good animated.

one thing i did like that was exclusive to the anime were the giant spirit over-souls of the main characters never usd in the manga. perhaps if they make the new anime, they could use thm in a kind of movie or ova episode.

and i saw some spoiler pics of chapter 299 on another site.

well the standard pace seemed to be 3 chapters for every Patch officiant
which was changed to 2 with the Kanzenban releases
Though Radim got the most coverage for sure (Plus he killed Faust too, that bastard!)

[Yasha]

I just spent the last 1 week re-reading this series so that I can understand the Kang Zeng Bang better. xD So many characters I used to love (and still do) in this manga: Hao-sama, Matamune, Anna, Yoh, Ren and many more! And the Osorezan Revoir arc is plain awesome!

But frankly, the english translation is not very good. Last time I read it in chinese and it's far more accurate and beautiful. But whatever, Shaman King is still one of my top 10 favourite manga.

[Mad Ego]

wow

No pulse?
No life?
No soul?

The only way I can see Hao dying is if he commits suicide

Hao: Good morning! What a lovely nap.
Everyone dies.

hao was irrivocably awesome before but now... he is a god. period.

I want to make an inspirational poster that says.

that was a misquote. I didn't say I saw the superman and he was native american.
I said I saw god and he was native american.

that would be so fucking win. :gar now I just need to find out how to make them :hmm

298 is out, we can see the power of the Spirits of Nature, at lest all the power that Yoh and company can uses without any training to learn to control then.

Go Elemental warriors! :dance :dance :dance

[Agmaster]

How are they still standing? God said no.

Great chapter. I like the conversation between Hao and Yoh more than the fighting part. Next chapter is going to be crazy. I'd already seen some of the techniques used by Hao from the raw, and they rock!

That is so lame.

[Unknown]

When you have no way in hell to win a fight..., you just call your opponent's mom so she stop him/her from bulling you.
Great.

And Hao fighting the SoN(with the power of earth) using the whole fucking universe It's just pure win.

[mangakyou sasuke]

It's not a conventional manga, so i'm glad it didn't have a conventional ending.
Hao's power is unrivalled. I'm glad they brought back ohachiyo.
Maybe after the next issue they'll continue with hana Asukura's adventure to reunite them soon in the future.
According to Takei, the person at the end with anna is a combination of yoh and hao but we don't know who is the dominent mind.

[Tamarin]

Can someone fill me in on something here? And this might be a spoiler but I've been hearing it all over... (I believe it's from the last chapter)

"I'm the fucking Shaman King". That line killed me. :lmao

I feel tempted to buy the Mentalite.

[Kiyoshi]

One Piece is better than Shaman King imo

Their comparable IMHO.

The quality comes from both Shaman King and One Piece, at least appearing, to be works that had the whole story planned out as you read it in long stretches.

They are like Pandas and Polar Bears. Both are excellent manga, but aimed at different tastes.

Still, we are saying Shaman King rocks because it is done. How many people, like myself, only really read Shaman King in large tracks of chapters at a time?

If this series started around the time of the Shoenen Trilogy and we were still reading it a week at a time how many would be complaining about Loltakei and Over Soul Plot?

[sazabi24]

Ren married the Iron maiden person!?!?!?!!?:U

[Mégas Strategos]

Remember that Shamesh kissed Ren (twice, which Ren didn't like) to revive him. Maybe something started after that.

[Wesley]

Well, two of my favorite characters hitting it off sounds good to me. Too bad there was zero developement between them and almost zero character developement of one of them period.
