Description

As an eight-year-old, I saw a scene in Shaman King that changed how I looked at life. Even now, almost twenty years later, I still replay it in my head whenever things get hard, and think about what this anime taught me. Except when I started rereading the manga, and then rewatching the remake, I realized the scene isn't there. To figure out how that happened, I dove into the remarkable story of Shaman King.
