Shaman King (2021) returned this week, with episode 48. The last few episodes are adapting an arc that was not very well-received even in the original manga. At this point, it's debatable whether the adaptation can be saved, so some fans will keep watching to find out if Yoh Asakura will become Shaman King. Below you'll find all you need to know about Shaman King (2021) Episode 48, including its release date and time in Japan, as well as updates about the status of the series in the rest of the world.
Shaman King (2021) Overview and Episode 47 Highlights
Shaman King is based on a 1998-2004 shonen manga. As is the case with many popular works, the manga received an anime adaptation while still ongoing, meaning that the ending the creators intended for us never made it to our screens. Instead, the reboot is faithful to the manga.
Shaman King follows Yoh Asakura, who fights to become the best among shamans an all-powerful being with the ability to summon spirits and manipulate the world according to their will. To achieve his dream, Yoh must come victorious out of a competition that only takes place once every 500 years. At this point, we're well into the Shaman fight, and unless you've read the manga, it might be hard to predict the result!
Episode 47 features the Mu department - one that was liked by some Shaman King manga fans but was not generally the most well-received. The Five Warriors and the main characters are being tested by the Patch Tribe, and they have to face killer plants before coming face to face with Hao himself - will they make it?
