Some portions of this article have been updated based on the new information announced after the update occurred.
Announced earlier today, the developers for Shaman King: Funbari Chonicle have laid out their plans for the 1st anniversary of the game. With this anniversary, there is also a new version of the app which will have lots of new features. Below is a rough summary of the changes to the game coming in December 2022 and beyond from the official website (in Japanese).
New Hao Character
As part of the “Anniversary Festival Gacha Part 1” a new “[Awakening Sleeping Princess] Hao” character will be added to the game. This will be a heart (red) version of the Hao character which will have new character model and illustrations. The character is helpful in support with a new effect that can increase damage for your other shamans.
The current plan will be that this character will not frequently return in future gachas. So it’s recommended to pull this version of Hao as part of this event. The start date of this gacha will be on 11/30 at 15:00.
New Campaign Quest
Starting today (November 25) and continuing through December 5th, you can play the new Campaign Quest called “Princess☆Hao – The Mikan Prince and the Cursed Princess”.
The story is 6 chapters long and you earn a total of 600 tamas for completing the entire story. This is an original story developed for this game.
This story can also be later viewed in the Story mode of the game.
December Story Event
Starting on November 30 at 15:00 a new original story event will replace the current Anna Training event in the game. The story event will focus around Yoh and Koel studying for a final exam in school. With this event you’ll also be able to earn some new items being added to the game.
Super Thanks Gacha
Every day from December 1st through December 15th, you can earn 10 free pulls in the “Super Gratitude Gacha” that will run from a limited time. This will include the new characters being added to the gacha pool. A total of 150 free pulls can be earned.
New Original Illustration Vision Cards
Leading up to the release of the game last year, many original drawings were made as promotional material on Twitter. These images are being added to the game as Vision Cards. Each day you log in (for up to 14 days) you can receive 1 ticket to exchange for these new Vision Cards. There has been at least 49 illustrations that have been created (as of June 29, 2022), and likely at least the following 7 cards will be added.
Super Gratitude Login-Bonus
Starting on December 1st, for up to 15 days, there will be free tamas distributed when you login. If you login each day, you can get up to 2000 tamas.
New Free 4★ Vision Card
On December 4th, a new Free 4★ Vision Card will be given to all players. This new vision card is based on the winning vote from the Famous Scene Popularity vote held earlier this year. Additionally, the 5th place scene and higher will be re-imagined as part of the new Daily Scenarios starting on that same day.
You will need to login to collect this 4★ Vision Card before the end of 2022. There is no plans to be able to get this Vision Card in the future.
1st Anniversary Shop Items
The Paid Shop will be updated with some new items that will be available in December. These will include new ★3 Character Tickets and Vision Card tickets.

If you stream you gameplay (and enter your player ID on a special site) you can get up to 2850 free tamas at a later date. You can do the streaming directly from your smartphone/tablet and do no need to show your face. The number “2850” for the reward comes from “Chapter 285” which was the final numbered chapter in original run of the Shaman King manga (with Princess Hao being on the last page in chapter 284).
Triple Drop Campaign
Starting on November 29, any items/rewards from story levels within the game will be tripled. Additionally the amount of player EXP you will earn will be significantly increased.
Daily Scenario Playback
For a limited time, over 150 Daily Scenarios that were released over the last year will be added back to the “Story” function of the game. You can use this to re-watch any of the scenarios you may have missed. You do not earn any tamas for watching these videos. 10 videos will be added every day and be available for 3 days starting on November 29th.
Costume Design Contest
Sometime in “early December” a new popularity contest will be announced for Shaman King: Funbari Chronicle.
