Shaman King Zero Explained

[@MysticDojo]

Edit: That wasnt Len who killed the musician, that was Len's grandfather who looked exactly like Len in his youth, it states in the manga that scene took place during WWII Also the reason Sati had no development is because she's actually the protag of another Hiroyuki manga called Butsu Zone that ended up tieing into SK

[@ioanaiordache4721]

I was looking for this coment. Thank you😘

[@leo_is_not_available]

Butsu Zone isn't Canon in Shaman King as far as I know. Takei just reuses a lot of older designs he did. He also reuses the Ultimo character designs currently but it seems like they aren't the same characters like in the Ultimo Manga. The original Anna one shot also isn't canon.

[@MysticDojo]

​@@leo_is_not_available your probably right a lot of these sort of crossovers are left very vague, I like to think this was Takei's way of retconning Butzu Zone into SK as in this story you see Sati come to understand her connection with the bodhisattva is really just a form of Shamanism and the distinctions arent far off enough that they couldnt be merged to the extent that they have, tho I do agree the og Anna manga and Ultimo are too far off to be canon

[@adisrapromthep5912]

To be fair, while Butsu Zone isn't completely canon, I'd say Sati probably came from similar place anyway. Basically I believe the core of her story is probably the same. I think there was also some mentioning of Anna the first and she look just like when she appeared in Butsu Zone. in Flowers...I think. ....too many spin offs Ultimo on the other hand is probably not. He also using Death Zero in Flowers.

[@commonsense5199]

Remember that when Yoh talked with his brother Hao inside the Great Spirit, Yoh said he didn't like humans that much either. Zero explores Yoh's youth feeling alienated of seeing ghost and seeing flaws of humanity giving him more depth.

[@KuroReisho]

Yeah anyone open to comment to this please explain, but how does that work exactly? Is he yohs brother, his ancestor, or like is yoh the more accepting part of Hao that got split off????

[@dantetheodore3200]

@@KuroReisho in a way he's all three. Hao is Yoh's ancestor who reincarnated until he returned to his original bloodline where he was born as Yoh's twin.

[@Wahejeiekennenama]

@@KuroReisho yes

[@andrewkful]

Your enthusiasm makes people wanna read em!

[@WaywardVentus]

The Spirit of Fire is a different spirit, Hao stole it when he was reincarnated in the Patch Tribe. They just have somewhat similar designs.

[@qilorar]

Yoh's and Hao's stories are the best ones, it explores their feelings and shows that they are two peas in a the same pod. I like how Yoh does hate people and is missarable but finds his meaning in the abilities.

[@KIKAN_THE_RAT]

Its so nice to see this series getting more attention, this new shaman king season is like a godsend on these troubling times

[@aaa1e2r3]

Takei went with Wat because to lean more into the Sherlock references that Lyserg and his spirit's names were referencing, with both of them being references to drugs that Sherlock takes in the books, Lyserg Diethyl (LSD) and Morphine.

[@zebruh2794]

I'm going to be weird but you look beautiful. Anyway, Shaman King is my favourite series, watched it as kid and now watching it as an adult, my favourite character as kid was Umemiya Ryunosuke because he was funny but now I realist that he is creepy af but I still laugh at his meltdowns but it creepy were he start to flirt. Right now, I like most of the characters, so I don't have a favourite character

[@irekaias]

Hao has the spirit of fire eat the souls of the people he murders, that is what happened to Lyserg's friends and family. Hao if I recall correctly didn't get the SOF then, I think this is a translation thing, Hao only got the SOF during his life as a Patch as he had specific access to it. Sati seems like a filler character in Shaman King because she has her own Shorts, her appearance is meant to be a Cameo.

[@leo_is_not_available]

I love your Shaman King series! Shaman King is my favorite story! You are doing an amazing job here and you are beautiful whild doing so! 💜 (pls don't call flowers and super star spin-offs, they are just sequels)

[@doujinrocknroller]

Sati's backstory is actually a tie-in to Takei's previous series, Butsu Zone. The series isn't officially in the same canon as Shaman King, but Sati's story in Zero teases that it is since Senju, Jizo, Bato and Asura are all characters in Butsu Zone. Also in Butsu Zone, we see Takei experiment with the concept of Shamanism with a character named Anna who's the prototype to Anna in Shaman King. Also Butsu Zone features a oneshot story, Death Zero, which features Sakurai from SK Flowers and the story is reworked in SK The Super Star.

[@AP-ek6by]

Just want to say your shaman king videos are so well done! I have been a fan of shaman king since the old anime and so happy it's back!

[@kazuledork]

Great video, I like this dive into the world of SK you've been doing at the height of it's new anime! Tho i want to want to make a correction, Usui is Horohoro's family name, his tribe is called the Ainu tribe, which is an actual tribe and are the indigenous people of Hokkaido

[@marocat4749]

That makes even a good orign why yolikes music so much.

[@marocat4749]

Gives been yos love for music an orign. Becauae music is magic and can change lives. Hana(literally flowers) and superstar as follow up is pretty good. Its about yos son comining on its own of course in a tournament.

[@marikabilska1382]

Hey dude you should cover the series Monster Allergy, super fun looking back on it and it has an art style you'd love. I'm sure there's also plenty of comic books which accompany it and weird crap like that, worth looking into? Released around 2009 which suits your era of content

[@LadyWednesday88]

theres a sequel comic called monster allergy evolution where zick and elena are young adults in college btw. its a little bit annoying bc the premise is after the main story ended, elena moved away and zick stopped aging so.... he just stopped talking to her.... ugh lol. they reconnect in the first comic. so thats the DRAMA. its cute once they get back into it, they kiss :3c

[@hana_flower875]

I didn't expect someone to talk about Monster Allergy under a Shaman King video, I loved that show! It's also an italian production by Rainbow srl and Iginio Straffi, it would be nice since he already covered Winx, Huntik and Witch that comes from the same place.

[@lazykitten12]

I grew up watching the 4kids ver of SK and in the episode when Lyserg was introduced all the guys low-key had a crush on him thinking he was a cute girl. If I remember correctly Kororo was really mad at Horohoro for making eyes at Lyserg. The fact that Horohoro and Damuko where kind a thing ties into that.

[@AndreeNimations]

Spirit of Fire wasn't born from Daitaro in sk 0. Hao stole s.o.f from the patch tribe in his 2nd life. What Daitaro became I suppose is a curse or something like that... they don't explain that part well

[@AhoyImHarker]

I’d love to see these get rolled into the new anime series

[@swiftstrike4044]

I wouldn't mind seeing this as either a prologue or a short flashback midway through

[@MultiMicals]

I was skeptical on how you will cover shaman king anime because it was a big deal where I came from And now I sit here after watching all 3 video in one go Well done!

[@xblade149]

12:43 Actually thats not the spirit of fire, he just absorbed the shikigami. He gets the spirit of fire when he reincarnated as a patch

I would recommend checking out Butsu Zone, Takei earlier work, to have a more clear understanding of Sati character, But I think the Super Star vol 5 will cover all of the Sati/Butsu zone stuff.

i never knew yoh got bullied. it's like how goku got bullied in dragonball evolution and he couldn't fight back because he was stronger...except yoh's story is done way better. lol trey's story is dark too. he always seemed laid back and always happy. i would have never thought he tried to "do that". it just shows that you never know what somebody's going through.

[@yohkenasakura9443]

Great content ! Now i have to re-read Zero i tought Hao got Spirit of Fire by reincarnating himself as a patch tribe member 500 years ago. I might have missunderstood that part in Zero. Also, can't wait to see your opinion on the other spin-off it's always cool to hear someone liking shaman king (and reading it haha)

[@107Pedro]

Maybe there was a misunderstanding? I don't remember the kid becoming the spirit of fire

[@animefan77]

Edit: It's been said that Spirit of Fire has always been a Patch property- Hao just reincarnated 500 years prior- always the most mysterious of the three major tournament timelines, at the 1000 years ago period expanded Hao's extensively in side stories- Hao incarnated as a member of the tribe, stole it and took it with him when he had to reincarnate again 500 years afterward- this time with a major advantage. It's also interesting that aside from Matamune and his first spirit, none of Hao's officially belong to him, he's taken them by force- never developing a personal connection with any of them- seeing them as attack dogs at best.
