Synopsis:
|
Yoh and Ren begin
their fight and Ren comes out very strong. Yoh evades but eventually
Ren gets serious and pulls out a second ghost that integrates with
Bason. Yoh learns a couple of things as Ren rants and rants and the
book ends with Ren about to unleash everything he has onto Yoh.
A couple of side
vignettes break up the fight,thankfully. Ren's older sister Jun is
talking to their father and begs him to release Ren from the course
of becoming Shaman King. The Tao's have a history of violent
bloodshed and it is killing Ren inside to particpate in such a family
tradition. He is coming to hate all Life and should he become Shaman
King, he plans on wiping out humanity in a global apocalypse.
My
Thoughts:

We now fully move on to the Super Special Named Power Moves!!!! Oh my
goodness. Eye rolling. Its fun as long as you read through it fast
enough. One page spreads of physical manifestations of powering up
don't quite have the same affect on me as they might on a teenage
boy.
The one thing I really did enjoy about this volume was the almost
continual references to Ren's pointy hair. During one of the powerup
times I think Manta makes a comment like “Look! He's gotten even
pointy'er!” It was a good light moment. I missed having Ryu
involved, as he really brings the comedy.
Since this fight ends right in the middle, I'm diving into volume 8
right away. Hopefully that review will go up this week too.
★★★☆½
