Shaman King Volume 8 The Road To The Tao Stronghold

Art and Written by Hiroyuki Takei
Chapter 63 to 71
Price $7.16
Yoh and the Gang


Many good things happen in the Volumes. It has a lot of fights and interesting foreshadowing too. This continues where the last one left off. Ren preparing his last attack and Yoh know he cannot beat Ren with his over soul as it is now. Yoh decide to copy Ren and put all of his mana into his over soul. Yoh has never done this before and did not know he could. He does and Amidamaru’s full upper body appeared and the Two Shaman Clash knowing whoever wins goes to next round.

Once the dust clears and Ren thinks he has lost, because he did not have any mana left and when he looks over Yoh also out of mana. Silva comes down and tells them they lose their over soul at the same time so it was a draw. The Chief (Goldva) comes in and tells them that both made it to the next round. The open ceremony started right after, we see a lot of different faces and Goldva tell everyone, the next round will start in 1 month time. Goldva said an interesting thing. He said “you will never return to your normal lives again”. What will happen to everyone in the next round?

After the opening ceremony Yoh and the gang had a party, but this is Shaman only, Ren and Yoh become friends and once the party was ending Ren left to deal with him father. After the party, life return to normal, Yoh and Anna go back to school and the shaman fight seem like a dream.

One day Yoh and Tamao go shopping for Anna and this is where we meet Boz Rocking Monks. They attack Yoh and take Amidamaru from Yoh. Their plan was to take out Yoh before the next round started, and it almost work if it was not Ryu. Ryu comes back to town, and he is a Shaman. Tokageroh as his ally and they beat the Boz brothers. We also learn that Ryu is in the Shaman King Fight, he won two matches as he was training with Yoh’s Grandfather. Before the Boz bothers they said “Master Hoa”, and then we get a pretty cool panel.Is this Hoa?

The last Few Chapters is what made the chapter for me. Ren is back home and Yuan has an Army of Zombie waiting for him. Ren and Bason rip through the Army pretty easily then Yuan Appear, Ren could not beat him, he does not know what his power is, and all of Rens attacks did nothing to him. Ren was grounded as a prisoner, with Jun. As a last hope Bason go to Yoh for help and tell what happen to Ren. Yoh and the Gang go on the next flight to china.

Yuan was been watching Yoh as they got to China and once they make it to the tao stronghold they are greeted with 5 super zombie. This is where we see Ryu and Horohoro show off their new over soul and moves. (Horohoro is just getting cooler and cooler to me) Ryu and Horohoro took down two of the super zombie pretty easily I was surprise.  The Volume ended with Yoh and Ren facing each other. Ren and chained up.

Hunter x Hunter : Phantom Rouge Movie Sub




I just watch Phantom Rouge the movie was ok, nothing epic. It was just a good movie. The animation was awesome and the story line was good. Gon made the movie for me. I really hope hunter x hunter manga returns soon, because all we got this year was those two chapters about Kurapika past. 

Tell me what you think about the movie?
