The Asakura Twins are Neat Basically
just me shoving a bunch of thoughts together with basically no structure so I can have words to look at when I force my english classmates to deal with this later (and also because I'm a dumb nerd who likes being a dumb nerd)
I probably talk in circles a lot here so be forewarned
tldr: Yoh and Hao are fundamentally the same person except for a couple things which makes them excellent foils and characters and it's cool and I love them and
I think Yoh and Hao work so well as protagonist and antagonist because on a fundamental level they are the same person. This isn't even me making stuff up, they're frequently described as each other's "other halves" or as originally being the same soul.

They're both even called the same thing as kids.
In his chapter of Zero (one of my favourite Shaman King spinoff manga. Go read it if you haven't it's only like ten chapters and is brilliant) it's shown that Yoh even acted like Hao when he was younger (between the ages of four and ten based on other flashbacks). This Yoh openly hates everyone, and wants to isolate himself from them.
Tumblr media
This panel specifically really reminds me of Hao. Not sure if this is canon but my hc is that Yoh was born with the same soul as Hao (without some stuff like memories or Spirit of Fire) but acts differently because of his interactions with Matamune and the ghost girl from Zero.
When they talk in the Shaman King's commune near the end of the manga, Yoh even expresses that he does still hold the same views of humanity, he just applies them differently.
This is so cool because on the surface level the Asakura twins read as stereotypical shonen characters: the power of friendship paragon hero and the pure evil villain. They oppose each other on principle, but so much about them (views of humanity, genetics, appearances, and even personalities) are or were the same. These characters only really differ in their mindsets and applications of their views. Hao has given up on humanity and just wants them gone, whereas Yoh believes in the good in people and that things can be better.
They don't have the same dynamic you'd expect from the aforementioned shonen tropes either. Every conversation they have is surprisingly civil. The cafe scene, onsen scene, and even Kurobina's intro scene; they just talk. It's cool.
I've talked about how Yoh acts like Hao in his Zero chapter, but Hao also displays traits we associate more with Yoh (these names are losing meaning by the second. By that I mean Hao is ridiculously chill. This is probably in part because he's so much more powerful than everybody else that he doesn't need to be worried, but I think it's also because he's just built like that. He brings a baguette and binoculars to the Shaman Fight and randomly shows up to hang out with his brother a couple times (including the one where he just invited himself to sleep over). He displays the same laid-back vibes as Yoh, he's just more murdery when he's not doing that.
I feel it's appropriate to call them narrative foils, but I think it's a bit deeper than that. The Asakura twins aren't just similar, they are the same in every element except what makes them oppose each other. And it is very interesting to watch these two characters interact with each other.
I mentioned the Shaman King commune scene before, and I think it really shows what I mean (it's also my favourite scene in all of Shaman King, period). At this point, Hao has basically won. He's the Shaman King, everyone's dead (but this is Shaman King so that's far from permanent), and he just wants to talk to his brother before he consumes his soul. It's a great scene because it reveals how identical they are, specifically the apathy they share. They just sit and talk for a couple of minutes before Yoh rejects Hao's offer to stay in the commune (demonstrating their difference in mindset yada yada) and the (cool part) of the scene ends.
And I think it's neat.
They're neat.
That's it.
(for now)

I like serious anime content, People. So Sonic Boom researching is gonna have to wait another 24 hours until my savory feeling for an anime remake completion is over.

Learned today there was a Shaman King anime remake that’s already finished. Had no idea that had aired, so been having fun watching some clips and checking who reprised their roles from the 4Kids dub.
All the youtube clips of the opening had the silly but charming 4Kids dub song and I was just tickled they actually reused it. But when I actually watched a full dub episode they just had the original Japanese opening and I’m fuming.
Give us the full 2001 experience you cowards!

Reading more Jujutsu Kaisen. In volume 3 right now. Finally have something to talk about beyond “Oh boy the yuri undertones!” or how sick I think it is when Yuji loses an arm. Namely, I find it very interesting how Mahito is speaking. His philosophy sounds very like a twisted form of Zen Buddhism. The whole thing about life simply flowing and life not having any inherent weight or value stands out in this front. But that gets fucked up into “Just do what you want, how you want” and a devaluing of human life.
What stands out the most is the statement “If you’re hungry, eat. If you hate, kill”. And this stands out because this exact phrase structure gets used in Zen Buddhism a lot. Though the examples tend to be “If you’re hungry, eat. If you’re tired, sleep”. It’s a sort of simple living thing. A not wasting time doing nothing or wasting time philosophizing or wasting time panicking. But Mahito has taken that exact structure and twisted it from simply addressing needs as they come up and flowing through life like a lotus above the muck into “Well shit doesn’t matter so if you feel like it fuck it kill the bitch”.
With this and the fact that the other villain is running around in Buddhist priest robes and has the extended earlobes is making me wonder where Akutami is going to go with this. The way Buddhism is addressed and used in Bleach and Shaman King are a very big part of why they’re two of my favorite manga ever, or my absolute favorite in Bleach’s case. So like I am seeing small hints and bits of things that make me go “Oh we could be doing something interesting with the Buddhism in battle shonen again. And blatantly so.”

It's funny how Ieeha looks really polite and pleasant in screens I take when in reality he can only be summarized as this exact vibe
