Thread: Shaman King 241 discussion

Well Reincarnation 241 is out and it has a shocker Marco is still alive and he joins the fight in order to protect Tamao, true it was against a minion of Hao but still who would have expected it of him.

i guess marco's heart isnt as ice cold after all.or maybe he just wanted revenge for iron maiden.

Thank god for the oversoul healing technique huh. Thats the type of righteousness i expect from marco.

umm, NOOOOO HOW THE HELL DID THE IRON MAIDEN DIE!!! she will prob be brought back though. but it looked like sadi died too (although she prob didnt). God I want the next chapter!

I'd like to think Iron Maiden will come back, same with Sadi, but storyline will probably keep them dead. I do trust that Lyserg will beat his hell-spirit and come abck just in time to kill the Egyptian guy with his God-level Oversoul >; D

Yeah Lyserg is one of 5 warrior so absolutly he will come back
but i believe isn't so soon, so the one who will beat the Egyptian
guy not Lyserg...
Oh Yeah, if they can ressurect people, why don't they always
kill and resurect the others so their spirit power will be greater?

the person to beat the Egyptian is defiantly manta! ok im obviously joking... but i think Marco is probably more than enough the defeat the sphinx. the dont call them angels for nothing (ok so if they do, so what....)

When a person dies, their soul (in terms of Shaman King) will either go to Hell or Heaven (or enlightenment) or Mu (might not be correct term). Mu (might be wrong term), is the state of in-between worlds. When Ren died, the first time, he was here. He was able to see the human world, but wasn't able to interact with it, but was able to be revived by Shamash. Anna, and any other God-level shaman, in theory, could summon a spirit from heaven. This was done as early as Volume 2, with Lee Pylong's teacher, Sha-mon. Hell, on the other hand, is deep within The Great Spirit, a place where no shaman, except the Shaman king can reach freely. The only way a shaman can get out is to do it on their own strength. So, Yoh needs to gets through many levels of hell first in order to be close enough out that Faust can pull him out, or gets out of Hell and gets back in Mu or Heaven.

The more dead you become, the stronger the soul will become. So, the 3 areas are basically ranked like this, from Strongest to Weakest:
- Hell
- Heaven
- Mu

The problem with dieing, is that you can't always get to pick where you want to be. Also, the human body can only withstand dieing so much. Remember, the body needs to go through the process of dieing, so if a body loses too much blood, then even if the soul was put back in, it might not live again. So hopefully that all clears that up (I also have a bunch of other examples and comments I could have added, but I think that's pretty summed up as it is).

So heaven is inside the great spirit as well?
