The new version of the Shaman King anime series will be an adaptation of all 35 manga volumes by Hiroyuki Takei. The previous edition of the animation did not contain the full story, so we can expect even more episodes compared to the 2001 version.
The plot of the King of Shamansis based on the fight for the crown of the title king. Warriors from all over the world compete in the Shaman Tournament every five hundred years. However, they are not ordinary people – they are shamans, or, as the main character explains, “a link with the afterlife”. They have extraordinary powers that are activated especially when they connect with their Guardian Spirit, remaining in the spirit’s control with it. The main character of both the manga and the anime is thirteen-year-old Yoh Asakura, a descendant of a family respected in the world of shamans. He was always trained by his grandfather, an eminent master, Yohmei, to fight for the throne of the king of shamans one day. Eventually, the Tournament is announced and Yoh fights more fights against his opponents, earning a harmonious pack of friends. During the next round, Asakura learns about further secrets from his family. One of them, the most important, will determine his fate. It turns out that his true destiny is to defeat the sinister Hao, who threatens the mortal world.
The first issue of the new Shaman King will start on April 1, 2021 . This year, the premiere will also take place on the pages of the Netflix platform . Check out the new trailer below.
