The Princess Hao Ending
Many great manga artists in Jump have created unforgettable and traumatic endings to their manga, most of these endings became legends.
The most recent of such legend came in the form of Shaman King’s ending. (This article was written the week Shaman King ended.) In the final chapter in Jump Issue 36, Hiroyuki Takei showed that his laziness would surprise even Yoshihiro Togashi
And of course the author is receiving a manuscript fee for this. At the time of the ending, the manga is in its “Priest Battle arc,” but will the battle with Hao ever finish?
Of course not, it was ended abruptly. Usually, when a series gets out of hand and is forced to end, mangaka usually end it with lines like “the real battle begins now,” “now, let’s go,” or at least some sort of epilogue set a few years later.
In Shaman King’s case, Yoh shouts, “Our fight starts now. I’ll get a good night of sleep so I can win tomorrow!” The ending credit says, “Thank you for cheering for six years. Please look forward to Takei-sensei’s next series!” But that’s not all, Takei-sensei created yet another legend through Manta’s mysterious dream:
What a way to end the story. Most readers were paying attention to Kiriki Bonken-sensei’s “Puuyan” and wasn’t paying attention to this. This is Jump after all, Readers will never know where a trap is hidden.
Hiroyuki Takei is, after all, Kiyu-sensei’s master, and he won’t lose to his pupil. When Kiyu-sensei’s series was put to an end, Hiroyuki Takei left a great comment:
“My courageous lovable pupil Kiyu, thanks for the hard work, retort back next time, as you want.”
Unfortunetly, Kiyu-sensei’s next series also ended in 10 weeks. But still, both the master and the pupil are making legends.
