This week in Shaman King has a bit more variety than most and it starts off with the big release in the middle of the week. The Shaman King (2021) Blu-ray Box set 1 will finally release in Japan on Wednesday! Will there be any changes to the animation on this physical release? Probably nothing too major, but if you have a lot of money you can lock in this physical release as no other international releases have been mentioned. The Blu-ray is only in Japanese (no English subtitles).
For manga releases, we have 2 volume 10s coming out this week! Both are 2-in-1 editions for the Spanish release in Mexico and the French release in France.
For Japanese arcades the Yoh Asakura figure from Banpresto will be released on Thursday. International fans will get the figure in September (or October) if they pre-ordered.
For products, there are a bunch that are coming out sometime in August, but the series of Face Towels from Bushiroad Creative has a specific date of the 27th! There are 5 different designs on sale.
In not directly Shaman King related, on Saturday the Lord Spirit Mini 4WD will be released. This is designed by Hiroyuki Takei for the MINI4KING manga series that has started this month. The series has no connections to Shaman King, but Takei is “directing” the new manga series.
The on-going events this week expands to its all-time high! The Gratte collaboration has started last week and the Namjatown collaboration starts on the 27th. The Hikokuji Prize Lottery will also start its in-store events, which have different prizes from the Online Prize Lottery.
