Shaman King Flowers Explained

[@katty2815]

Shaman king is one of those manga that I read as a kid, fell in love with and kind of forgot about it after it got canceled. I feel bad for forgetting it, I never realized there was more to it. Thank you for covering it and making me fall in love with it all over again. Your videos are amazing!

@@rinamohn1807 The only reason they got together is because of enforced heteronormativity and so there could be a next generation sequel. End game couples in shonen manga come out of nowhere because the author think getting married is the "normal" thing to do.

[@rinamohn1807]

@@swaggerlevel90001 That's a very negative way of viewing it. In this case (not in general for shonen) Ren and Jeanne actually fit together perfectly if you properly think about their characters (same regrets, same future goals, same resolve).

Alumi is actually the disciple of the 1st Anna. Which is a different character than Anna from the main series. It's needlessly confusing and I don't really know why Takei made it like that. But that's just sorta how it is

[@MarCelo-sf6xt]

@Nill Null Super Stars first arc is a remake of 2 one shots he did awile ago. Those being Anna The Itako and Death Zero. So I think you might be onto something here

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Why did Takei make the continuity so confusing? I think the leaf Yoh sometimes wears on his shirts might provide a hint or two.

[@diegordi1394]

Oh yeah, and Anna the 1st is the one from Butsu Zone, which could be considered Shaman King before Shaman King. In The Super Star, Jizo and Bato, both from Butsu Zone too, make an appearance.

[@dphantom1314]

Shaman king is way more friggin complicated than it needs to be. And this is coming from someone that reads One Piece.

[@kryzethx]

Alumi is adorable. Although I wonder why it's become such a trend for writers to make shonen protagonists "retire" and have children, and then start writing stories for the children. Between Naruto and Inuyasha, but even all the way back to Dragon Ball Z and GT... although at least Gohan was part of the storyline of Z, before getting his own spinoff.

[@commonviewer2488]

Writers getting an itch to make continuations, or their parent company gives the right to someone to make a continuation for profit. If you question why it's often the old cast's kids, it's because usually their character arcs will conclude by the end of the series, making them all flat characters to write. Solution: next generation deals with new problems.

[@marocat4749]

As story structure goes, that goes back to the very very old drama. Because once a heroes arc and character developement ended, you really cant them make the center figure anymore, becaue what do you still have to say,if, ok, but if not if they are alive still can make apearences but dont have to carry the story anymor retreating old ground. Ever heard of odyssee, several greek dramas, that dealt with the often bloody drama with their kids lead to that, thats what ideally what a geneational spinof is, a somewhat organic lead into the new story with older ones In older stories that likely happens too a lot, but sadly most is lost there, so we know it from greek drama for sure, go with that. Then there i the possible route fate zero went to after showing he male center character shiro, his father, an how he is better than his dad who still was not the worst, but shiro is better. Prequels of ancestors an parents. Generational stories with family as tie in into diferent genre was always a thing, not just since yoyos bizarre adventure. Just many tries there fail, because its a delicate balance to have the main character not just a carbon copy but have enough to please the fans who come from the original. So many either try the same , and fail, which gohan, that he was diffrent than goku with diferent strugge would have made him a good sucessor, thats a sucess. But a carbon copy, wih same struggles, there is a reason gt isnt as good.

[@mr.goblin6039]

It’s a very common thing to write about classic characters having kids and passing the torch to a new generation. Superhero comics do that, too, sometimes. JoJo’s whole thing is about multiple generations of this one family dealing with crazy stuff.

[@truffle6082]

It wasn't always the case way back comics were made primarily targeting older audiences to appeal to the younger audience. They made younger characters Robin being the first and youngest hero appeal to younger demographic. Passing the torch was a way to appeal to new audiences.

Really loving all your Shaman King videos! I kinda grew up with the Shaman King anime and I was really interested in all of their diff. OverSouls but, I never really got into the lore. Keep on making these awesome videos!

[@theshadynorwegian6036]

Going through near death experiences to get stronger is a hella cool way to increase strength that makes sense as the best way to break through your limits is to court death. One way to interpret it is that when you're near death, your soul almost flies off to heaven, but gathers itself and focuses itself further back into the body. One of the isekai manga i read abused this through archery. Because the way the mc practices archery entails him breathing out his soul only to breathe it back in in pure focus, gathering mana from the atmosphere to his soul with every practice shot. As if he were to be near death with every practice shot. Just an excuse for op mc of course, but i enjoyed it.

[@JoseSanchez-yp5dp]

Also it’s stated that constantly coming back from death becomes less effective each subsequent time as how the soul gets use to it this is why Sati and Jeanne gained no major benefit from death so instead they have to train in hell and even that becomes ineffective which is why Hao furuioko isn’t something ridiculous like a hundred million.

The Shaman Kings look like major figures in different religions groups in the world. The far left looks like it’s from Egyptian theology. The figure in the back looks like Buddha, Hoa of corse is representative of American Indian culture. To the right looks like a figure with a crown of thorns depicting Christ or Yahweh.

[@DallySkyeAnims]

I personally felt a bit sad that Tamao ended up becoming like Anna growing up, it felt cheap that we need more violent women just for laughs as they beat up people and "being badass". I prefer her previous personality as it feels more relatable. Sadly, I'm also not all that invested in Hana traversing in the Great Spirit world to find War soldier spirits, it really dragged on for too long to the Flowers ending, all the way to I think over 20 chapters in Super Star? I honestly didn't care for that story very much.

With Anna alive and presumably still in play somewhere, passing on doesn't really matter. As for keeping Amidamaru around, yeah it's kinda' lazy, but there actually *is* precedent on this. I wonder if it's kinda' like Matamune, whom as I recall worked with either Hao, Mikihisa (Yoh's dad) or Yohken (Yoh's ancestor and contemporary to Patch Hao) to some degree before being passed down to Yoh.
