The video was absolut good. The Music, the jokes, the editing. Love it!

I think Hao Asakura being Hao, Anna being a total badass female character that is actually useful, and Yoh being the chillest protagonist of all time will make people love Shaman King

yeah, 100% agree with you on this one, Hao was indeed a wel written OP character, he had the charm, the power and the threat and still didnt ruin the overall story.

I like how everyone just accept that they can't defeat Hao no matter how hard they try.

If someone out there is watching this video and hasn't finished SK's manga yet, totally don't read this because it's all endgame spoilers, yeehaw. Part of what makes SK great to me is that they're like damn, how do we beat Hao? Then they realize they can't... so they just love him instead. The fact that it works, that this guy who has been lonely for a thousand years and figured everyone would continue to hate him and try to kill him forever/until he became King, ended the series off with the cast realizing that fighting hatred with more hatred wasn't working and Hao accepting all the people who accepted him makes it amazing to me. That the whole main cast collectively agreed to try give him love instead of hate, and that Yoh actually had an impact on him and began to form a relationship with him that wasn't just enemies and "I have to beat him to become the Shaman King". Most Shonen series are all about the brawls and "who will win", and the main protaginst somehow becoming stronger than the antagonist, but in this case, even the characters are forced to acknowledge they can't physically defeat Hao. They realize that, with the way power levels work in this series, that there's no actual way to kill him because he'll just reincarnate again even stronger every time, and even without that being their hindsight understanding, they all are forced to acknowledged that just in his third lifetime alone that he's stronger than all of them anyway. Usually Shonen series just end with the main protagonist becoming more OP than the antagonist and just outright killing them. Shaman King makes it look like Yoh is going to win and be the strongest character, but not only is he not the strongest among his friends (he's outdone in furyoku level by both Horohoro and, by a long shot, Chocolove by the end of the series), he never gains power anywhere near as insane as Hao. Eventually Yoh realizes the root of the whole problem by getting to know his supposed enemy, goes against what his entire family wishes of him to do (which is to kill Hao), and gets on pretty decent terms with him all things considered. There's no rivalry between them at all and they're both pretty cordial with each other. For me at least, the icing on all of it is that Yoh ends the series off by admitting he has similar feelings to Hao and, instead of acting spiteful for having lost the tournament, goes in the complete opposite direction of a typical Shonen and fully acknowledges Hao as his brother. There's no "hey cool what an awesome power up to defeat the villain!" moment like the OG anime decided to do (incorrectly no less, since the ending of the OG anime had nothing at all to do with furyoku and just did an outright total asspull to deal with Hao that had nothing to do with Shaman King whatsoever lol). They try to understand him instead, and it REALLY makes Yoh's mantra of "people who can see spirits can't be evil" come full circle. To Yoh, Hao was never evil. He did evil things, but Hao himself was never evil from Yoh's perspective. Making the OP antagonist you can basically possibly make, admitting they can't be defeated and never using some crazy asspull move to /make/ them get defeated makes SK shine for me, but just as much if not more than that, it's that this supposed evil person actually fell victim to nothing short of love. It wasn't just the characters' decision to love him that solved things - it was the fact that Hao /never expected it/ and also /wanted/ it. They mention those characters couldn't have been in the Great Spirit if Hao didn't want them there. He also could have just went on with his plan to wipe out normal humans since nobody could have stopped him anymore by the end, but he dropped his plan of a thousand years and decided to see what the world could look like with these shamans who all chose to accept him as their King. Let's be honest too, Chocolove wasn't much better IF any better than Hao at one point in his life, and he was able to be turned around and saved. I LOVE that they didn't abandon that idea with Hao, instead leveling him without physical power or brute force. Shaman King as a whole was also going in that direction with Hao the entire time, right from Yoh mentioning the thing about evil people and spirits in the first chapter/episode, all the way to the very end. All of it was sprinkled in and hidden well imo. Good luck ever convincing me there's any better handling of any antagonist ever out there! 😂

I genuinely believe that if every villain in shonen jumped Hao at ones, he would annihilate them all without breaking a sweat.

You know a villain is broken when he has such a big influence in the story and even if the growth of the main characters. The main cast got a huge power boost by reading Hao's book and training 1 day in Hell (when Hao himself trained for 500 years). Anna took control of the Shinigammi witch are Hao's demons to begin with. Every other strong character of the show is somehow related to Hao in some way.

It probably would've been worth mentioning how the other main characters have gone through similar circumstances to Hao. Like Anna with her mind reading, and even in the first chapter, though less consequential, how Yoh's hesitant to let people know he can talk to ghosts for fear of being "othered" as well as Yoh's Zero Story, in the beginning Ren is basically mini-Hao in his motivation just a loner version. Although they're not near as powerful a lot of them could've gone the same train of thought Hao did so it makes sense why Yoh dealt with him the way he did.

HE'S DEFINITELY UNDERRATED!!!!!!

I like how overprotective he was over yoh. That’s was my favorite part when the xlaws kidnap him he made sure to dispose him

“Pretty deplorable stuff such as: blowing-up orphanages, turning soldiers into amputees and doing the worst thing... trying to steal another man’s girl!” Duuude! Cracked me up big time! HAHA! Great vid!😂✌🏻

When someone wants me to explain who hao is, i tell them this: "Hao is the *Madara* of the 'Shaman King' Universe, just more primal in his form of impact on the Story. Instead of being intriduced in the last quarter of the Story he gets integrated into the story from the very beginning, both to maximize his connection to *it* and *its* Charakters. He is built & explained from the grounds up, so he can be undertood by Charakters as well as the Reader because of that *AND* doesn't get cheap shot at the end just to find a way to get rid of him."

Thank you so much for making this video! For a fan of Hao who already knows all this it was really fun to watch! I was laughing through the whole video, haha. Hao is truly the best villain of all time! And special thanks for explaining Hao correctly! Because I often see that many people in the fandom tend to believe that Hao's only problem is his mother's death in his first life. This opinion always confuses me every time I see it because it is so far from the truth. His mother's death is sure tragic, but if it were his only problem he would never become who he is. In fact, the whole Mappa Douji special was mostly about Ohachiyo convincing little Hao that he is a human, while Hao believed himself to be a demon. Not only Hao was ostracized but also gaslighted to the degree of actually believing himself to be a demon. Being ostracized, which led him to gain the mind-reading ability, and then repeatedly seeing all the bad sides of humanity through this ability is definitely the main reason behind his behavior. His mother's death was why he was traumatized and left completely alone with those problems (since his mother was the only person who treated him nicely at that time), but definitely wasn't the main reason why he lost all belief in humanity. Besides, let's not forget that even after losing his mind reading ability (which, by the way, happened earlier than his reunion with his mother, which proves his distrust towards humans was caused not by her death, but by ostracization) Hao still didn't change his opinion about humanity. So, I believe the main reason is actually the one told in the Osorezan arc - that he saw all the bad sides of humanity through his mind reading. And in the end, he stands by this opinion he formed through mind reading even after starting to trust others a little more.

We need more villains like Hao or Aizen.

Takei : write an unforgettable story about ghosts and humans, featuring a lovable cast where even the big evil villain is a fandom's favorite. Also Takei : is it relevant for the storytelling for him to be naked at this moment? No... and this moment? Still no. This instant? No I guess.... Am I really gonna make him naked anyway? Why not? Probably Takei again : giving him a shirt? No, I don't think I will

Hao, along with the Noah (DGM) and "Geto" Bros (JJK), are my favorite villains. They're evil, Powerful, but soo "human" Geto Bros having summer vacation, playing football, etc. Hao just waving his hand with cute smile to everyone, the Noah went to High-End restaurant to have family dinner...

I love shaman king because all the characters are different. He is so interesting. And finally a villain not dumb, not weak, not loosing calm, a badass and lastly, AN AMAZING ANIME DESIGN( I’m obsessed with it) And he’s the strongest person in all of shaman king( he’s the same strength as Yoh at the end but still yoh still struggles) He’s quite kind on the most ridiculous stuff such as matamune or his brother ( not exactly but you get it), Yoh a chill protagonist who still does stuff for the sake for what he’s fighting for but still doesn’t get mad which makes hao interested in him. It’s the same with Anna. Finally not a softie inlove with Yoh. Sorry Tamao. But finally a serious Fiancé. Even Anna cares about Yoh winning the tournament more than Yoh. And she’s not scared. She could probably win against Hao Because of his pride. But that’s when he’s not full power. She’s not scared of slapping Hao with her legendary left hand 😱. And when Yoh quits the shaman fight, oh Yoh was dead. And the other characters are also unique. This anime is so underrated I’m mad 😡

This is so true. Especially for the “OH SH*T” part, bro I know he isn’t real but i was still intimidated by hao when he appeared. This also leading to him being one of my favorite characters in all anime.

I heard so many people gassing up hao over the last few years that I actually sat down and watched video's on the series like this one, and even Negative Legend's summaries going over the series to find out if he was really that fire. Y'all were right, that man Hao is a different breed 💀💀☠ (Nice video by the way, I like your editing style.)

My mans is hella underrated had me subscribin after one video👏👏

Shit it's always a good day when Guaz uploads. And I'm so glad you went back to Shaman King for another video. To be honest I was pretty young when I first discovered and read through Shaman King so I was no where mentally developed enough to fully grasp the kind of gravitas Hao possessed in the series throughout. But now that I'm older and have started to re-read it with the omnibus releases, I'm heavily anticipating the story as a whole, especially Hao having a much greater impact on me.

Babe wake up guaz just posted 😩😩

love your videos, your style is something special

That fact that he obtained the great spirit shows that he is one of the most powerful anime and manga villains

nothing but a banger video for hao-sama 🔥

The fact that they technically don't even beat Hao was the most precious thing for me when i read the manga.

HAha "doesn't lose his edge" -- see, I actually would say this IS the whole point of Shaman King. Hao losing his edge, Hao succumbs to his wavering heart, as a result of Yoh - Yoh brought everything Hao was missing into his life - and thus, its very much Hao lost his edge by the end of Shaman King. It was the only way to beat Hao.

Not only trying to steal another man girl, that other man is his *brother*

why doesn't this video have more likes and views? it deserves more than this

The king is back

Another excellent video. Brb, gonna go watch Shaman King

Bruh how you don’t have more subs is so dumb because of how quality the videos are. Also could you please make a video on kengan asura if you haven’t already I really enjoy the manga.

Hao is your type of Villain and Second lead at the same time

Subbed before that Mil

Bro how are you not famous man your video are goods.

Great video

Banger after banger

Heck yeah new video, lets see how it turns out!

i agree hao is so underrated

Thank you for this. Video

I like the video, interesting way to make a villain

Shaman King was popular in Poland (Król Szamanów as it was known here) to a big degree. What I loved about Hao/Zeke was the fact he had great voice actor - i think to this day his role as Zeke Asakura was the only thing he ever voiced act which is remarkable. He was so distinctive.

babe wake up, guaz uploaded. And congrats on 4k!

Zeke aka Hao my favorite shaman king

Could Alucard level with hao let what you guys think

was this video inspired by rash plays

Hao was the beginning of me liking a certain type of villain 🤭✨

People say Dio is the best anime villain. After reading the manga I want the see how many people change their minds and say the same thing about Hao.

His design just screams madara to me. AND I LOVE IT.

Yo Guaz, what did you think of the first 2 episodes of the remake if you've seen them yet?

Can you state your opinion on the new adaptation? I want to know if I'm the only one who's thinking this anime doesn't live up to it's full potential.

Dang I didn’t know Hao was this evil and powerful

Whose the bigger villain out of Guaz or Hao ?? 🤔

Best villain hao

Shinsuke Takasugi Is One Those Too Thats Not Talked Much Sadly. Hes Basically Shounen Best Mc In Opinion Gintoki Hes Basically Him But Different And If He Didnt Chilled In His Life. Nice Vid.

HEAT

This Nigga hella underrated no cap

🐐

Hey man awesome video, just so you don't get the whiney people in here you might want to add the spoiler tag in to the title, because the Anime has just started people who have never seen Shaman King before might start getting toxic. But keep up the good work

Tbh he’s the best one

Hao is an absolute unit. Hope they stick with the manga plot this time.

Hao is charismatic because he was right. By the spiritual laws, like being the caretakers of nature or the world and our brothers and sisters? By those standards that would make Hao "good" incarnate no matter how much we may see someone that capable and his intentions as a literal devil that would only be from modern man's worldview that he would be in the wrong. Even his own nature as empath would suggest for him to be evil would be a reflection of a world that poisoned his very soul.

Thank ypu

Nice

i kid you not as a child i got nightmares because of Hao. He is a good villain!

THE SHAMAN KING

He just like me

Shaman king has a reboot Netflix

They underestimated the power mind and will bro

People will understand hao in.time bro I have some very deep truth of my own on hao bro

yessir hes nasty i been tryna tell my friends hes nasty

How petty

I wake

bro u look like Ruud Gullit

But you probably don't like Aizen.

How do you defeat someone like Hao? You don't. He wins in the end and becomes God.

How the fuck haven't I heard of you until now

the only villain to win lmfaooo

Wrong! you defeat him by bringing his mom back to life lol

balls

Hao can beat everyone

In my travels around the multianimeverse I came across one phrase of ultimate wisdom: How? He's Hao
