In 2001, fans of Yoh Asakura, who enthusiastically read one chapter of the manga after another, were able to see their favorite characters with their own eyes. Episode 1 of the anime adaptation aired in July of that year. The anime’s success has been incredible. Although the adaptation was based on the manga, the final episode of the series aired before the print story ended. Unbelievable, but it is a fact. The creators of the anime came up with their own ending, but in the manga, Yoh’s adventure ended differently…
Genre — fantasy, adventure.
The premiere of the updated season 1 of the anime took place on April 1, 2021 (52 episodes).
“Shaman King ss 2”: release date, announcement
No one expected that such popular manga and anime would remind of themselves again, but already in 2021. In June 2020, a reboot of the adventures of Yoh and his friends was announced. Also, the creators of the remake immediately indicated: the whole story is being prepared for showing from beginning to end, that is, all 35 volumes of the manga will be covered. Is this not a hint that there won’t be season 2? No one is openly talking about this, but in the world of anime everything can be. After all, there are still side stories that can be adapted. The question is: will the directors take on the job?
However, the answer to the question about the continuation of the anime was the last episode of the season 1. Fans of the series rejoice, because they are waiting for the continuation! At the moment, the exact date of the premiere of the new season of “Shaman King” (the full title of the season 2 of the “Shaman King: Flowers”) is not known, but it is known that the release is scheduled for January 2024!
Plot
Acquaintance with the main characters began in 1985. Once a woman in labor was halfway to her double happiness. A woman must give birth to two children, and only the elderly are worried about something. The first boy turned out to be the reborn shaman Hao Asakura, who immediately disappeared along with the evil spirits. However, the second newborn baby became a delight for his parents. The boy grew up kind and sympathetic. His name was Yoh Asakura.
Thirteen years have passed. Yoh becomes a new student at the school. However, the acquaintance with his future best friend Manta happened in a very strange way. One evening Manta wandered into the cemetery, where he met a lonely Yoh. The guy began to assure that there was a huge number of spirits around him, with whom he was never bored and lonely. Considering that Yoh is a shaman who can summon spirits and is accustomed to them, then Manta did not expect to see such a number of ghosts, in which he never believed.

So, gradually meeting new people, on the way Yoh will meet new friends, as well as enemies. After all, this is life, and we cannot hide from bad people. Preparing for the big event, the Shaman Tournament, Yoh will face off against the best of the best. After all, not only he wants to win and get the title of Shaman King. However, in addition to this goal, we must not forget that 13 years ago, together with Yoh, his twin brother Hao was born, in whose head an insidious plan is ripening…
