Talk:Story Arcs

We should name the sags and the arcs off the Shaman King chapters, post here if you know some good names for the story arc page and for the articles. Godblaster 21:58, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

I have already divided them into:


 * Coming to tokyo(from the beginning until destiny star is seen)
 * Shaman fight in tokyo(until they are flown to america)
 * Travel through america(until they arrive in the patch village)
 * Shaman fights second round(until the end of the fight between team the ren and team funbari onsen)
 * Invading the plants(Until the time skip)
 * funbari no uta(time skip and further)

That is basicly all the major story arcs there is, and most articles are divided by that. --Gojita 22:29, February 14, 2012 (UTC)Gojita

What about the arcs of the Shaman King anime series?
What about the arcs/sagas of the Shaman King anime series?

Due to the UNCUT DVD releases by 4Kids Home Video and FUNimation Productions saying that it contains the “Original Story Arc”. I don’t know what are the names of the Arcs are.

Can you help me, PLEASE? Thank you. I appreciate it.

Sincerely, FANDOM User.

 * Don´t think there were ever such a thing, mayhaps the OVA´s, but otherwise I am not familiar with any of the Shaman King episodes being removed from any of the original English airing. With that said, this is a talk for discussing the content of the article itself, NOT a forum for asking such questions! --Gojita (talk) 15:00, August 3, 2018 (UTC)Gojita


 * hey Gojita, I want to point something out about the OVAs they were not released in the US but only in Japan only I have the DVDs on disk and some of the OVAs are on each disk, and about the original story arc, remains unknown in the US, I'll keep looking for more info about it--Eliskuya2 (talk) 01:27, August 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hm Hm! This is still NOT meant to be a forum! --Gojita (talk) 11:34, August 4, 2018 (UTC)Gojita

My Opinion
The list of story arcs right now are too few, not to mention yet to be update in synch with the overall timeline with the franchise. Another thing, now that the arc pages have their own templates, cross out of the (story arc) and probably replace with "Arc". The 2001 anime/4kids dub overall info should be put in the differences section with the events all edited. Here's how I've sorted out so far.


 *  Past Timeline  (before the actual series)
 * Zero Arc (meaning Shaman King Zero)
 * Osorezan Revoir Arc (Yoh and Anna's first meeting, chronically part of the manga publication)
 * Butsu Zone (Hiroyuki's manga before the manga, which is Sati's backstory later explained in Zero where she finally reaches India)
 * Faust 8 Arc (Eternal Eliza manga and Faust's backstory)
 * a Garden Arc (Team Hanagumi backstory)
 * Mappa Doji Arc (oneshot + zero chapters + relax)
 *  Present Timeline  (current series)
 * Coming To Tokyo (Intro arc to the main characters)
 * Shaman King First Round (going through the preliminaries)
 * Tao Family Arc (after the first round and before the announcement of the shaman fight)
 * Traveling Through America (onward bound to Patch Village)
 * Shaman King Second Round (from the matches to Yoh's forfeit)
 * Soul Festival Arc (Vs. Hao's followers to Berserk Golem)
 * Return to SF Arc (Vs. X-Laws to The Ren VS Funbari Onsen)
 * Invading the Plants (from fleet battle confronting the 10 officials)
 * God End Arc (final battle and epilogue)
 *  Future Timeline 
 * Funbari no Uta (Sequels and spin-offs)
 * Age of Flowers Arc (Hana's intro arc in Shaman King Flowers)
 * Red Crimson Arc (Red Crimson manga while concurrent with Flowers)
 * Finding Marco Arc (SK Marcos manga while concurrent with Flowers)
 * Death Zero Arc (Hana's hell-training arc and tribute to 'one-shot' of the same name, started in Flowers and continued in Super Star)
 * Daibutsu Zone Arc (ongoing arc and tribute to the Butsu Zone manga)


 * I think sticking to the structure of the tournaments (Shaman Fight, Flowers of Maize) would work better than splitting into such tiny storylines, especially since the spinoff series often overlap or cover different time periods. Past sections of articles can simply be written in chronological order. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 15:08, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

You're referring those structures as sagas, where they can be broken down into story arcs. Whiteknight810210 (talk) 07:43, 12 March 2022 (UTC)


 * The structure of the tournaments, as in "Preliminaries", "First Round", etc. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 13:50, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

I was referring to saga when mentioned the SF and FoM. Back to your current note, I just can't seem to follow when in your case, the Second Round Arc seems to be bigger compared to the rest.Whiteknight810210 (talk) 11:12, 13 March 2022 (UTC)


 * All arcs vary in length. Takei simply devoted a greater portion of the series to that part of the Shaman Fight. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 18:23, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
