With the first “season” of Shaman King (2021) coming to a close next week with episode 13, some more details about the upcoming Limited Edition Japanese Blu-Ray boxset has been released. The 52-episode series will be broken up into “seasons” that match the 4 Japanese Blu-ray box sets that will be coming out in 2021 and 2022. On Netflix they may also be following this similar structure for releasing episodes in batches and labeling the series by “season.”
