Story
This comes down to the main reason that contributed to the immense popularity of the series. It’s very unique, but also takes us to a basic competition held between characters in some context in the anime. It centers character named Yoh Asakura, who is a shaman – a medium between the world of the living and the dead. His motive is to become a shaman king and acquire all the powers related to the position. A shaman king has a large supply of spiritual energy and can also come into contact with great spirits. In addition, he/she is very capable of shaping the world according to his/her wishes. Every 500 years there is a battle between the shamans to choose the new shaman king.
Yoh decided to enter this competition and was supported by his fiancée Anna Kyoyama. To prepare him tough, Anna prepared a brutal training regimen so that he could stand strong in all circumstances. During his journey, he met other shamanlike Manta Oyamada, Ryu, Tao Ren, Horohoro, Faust and befriended them. During the match, he met his twin brother Hao Asakura. by the end of the competition, there were only two teams left, the Yoh and Hao team. They decide to crown Hao as the shaman king, but later, when Hao merged with the great spirits, Yoh and his crew attacked him. The story progressed as things got more interesting.
Previously on Shaman King
The previous two and final season 3 of Shama King received a lot of praise, especially for their plot progression. All seasons have represented an ideal world of the right scenario. The series progresses gradually at a good pace that is enough to create suspense but to bore fans. Shaman King Season 1 was released on April 1, 2021 and was titled “The Boy Who Dances with Ghosts”. It gave in the introduction to all the main characters and the main character. The series progressed as Yoh challenged Ren Tao, the Chinese shaman who wanted to take on Amidamaru. In the midst of the battle, Yoh discovered how to increase soul possessions based on a shaman’s will.
The idea helped him beat Ren when he and his finances later moved to Tokyo. From that time on, Anna embarked on the toughest workout regimen she could set for Yoh. It progressed a lot to the point where Yoh met a lot of people, and went to America along with Horohoro, Ryu and Ren to participate in other shaman king battles. That was the time Yoh met Hao, who radiated total hostile vibes by loving Yoh surprisingly enough. The plot becomes depressed when Ren dies at the hands of Hao’s soldier. After a long, long time, Yoh discovered the fact that Anna is able to read people’s minds and create Oni.
Once, because of her powers, she summoned a super Oni who eventually kidnapped her. That time, Matamune and Yoh went to get Anna, but in the process, Matamune sacrificed himself to make Yoh use a lot of power to defeat Oni. After this incident, Anna and Yoh grew closer than ever and finally began to fall in love with each other. The series is on and according to the last episode, Yoh realized that the only way to reach Hao is to defeat “The ten Preist of Patch”. The new episode 49 will be out on March 31, 2022 and everyone should keep an eye out for it.
