So here’s the greatest hits of “Just because someone wrote it on the internet, doesn’t mean it’s true.” And by greatest hits… I mean the ones that immediately come to mind.
Rumor: This is Anna.
Fact: This is Tamao.
Rumor: This is Hao. Or this is both Yoh and Hao merged together.
Fact: This is Yoh.
Rumor: Funbari No Uta was written after Shaman King ended.
Fact: The chapters actually started back in the Spring of 2003 in Akumaru Jump. That means it was released around the time of Shaman King chapter 225 was published in Weekly Shonen Jump.
Rumor: Shaman King Volume 32 was cancelled.
Fact: It was delayed 1 month. Why? So Takei could add in the original chapter 285 at the end. This rumor was debunked about one week after it was changed.
Rumor: The was a Shaman King movie in production
Fact: False, nobody ever said there was going to be a Shaman King movie. But… there is more to this story. But that’s for another time.
So when you see a rumor… remember, it’s a rumor. It’s important to go back and re-read things once in a while. Debunk rumors as you see them, since things can change! Be pro-active!
If you think there is some rumor you want to debunk… post them in the comments below!
