About this converter
Shaman King by Hiroyuki Takei ran in Shueisha Weekly Shonen Jump, reincarnations 1-285 across 32 volumes, and finished in 2004. This page compares 9 volume aligned blocks covering the full run, from the 17 chapter Tokyo opener to the 54 chapter Gandhara trials. No official arc list exists, so rows group neighbor volumes with ranges verified against Shueisha tables of contents. Kanzenban and Kodansha editions add 16 replacement chapters past the original 285. Xebec and Bridge adapted the run across the 2001 and 2021 anime series.
How to use it
Pick two arcs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Gandhara arc against Tokyo Intro to see the 54 to 17 gap. Then test First Round against Road to Fight to compare 36 chapters with 18.
All groupings here are editorial volume blocks rather than author named arcs, which is weaker than community arc lists and stated plainly. Ranges still verify contiguous from 1 to 285 with no gaps. The Mu Invasion row covers the forfeit, the 10 Plants and the sleep fight plan ch. 234-285. Funbari no Uta and Flowers sequels sit outside these rows. VIZ English volumes collect the original run.
