Shaman King: Flowers announces release date with new PV

On Tuesday, December 12, 2023, Shaman King: Flowers' official X account released the anime's second promotional video. The new promotional video revealed that the anime is set to premiere on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, at 12 am JST on TV Tokyo.

The video revealed how it had been 14 years since Hao became the Shaman King. Despite having a lot of potential, protagonist Hana Asakura could not use his powers. That's when members of the branch Asakura Family—Yohane and Luca—arrive to challenge and kill Hana's father Yoh Asakura to become the main family. With that, Hana steps into the stage of a new shaman fight.

Fra YVS is hostile to Hao and is the God responsible for creating the modern world. He believes that the world he created is a good enough utopia. Meanwhile, Kamogawa Yohsuke works with Fra YVS. He manipulates things freely using the YVS cards.
