Was looking back on the old photos to reminisce about the good official artworks we got from bridge and was looking at the last episode celebratory artwork
I like how younger Ren is smiling for the camera making a peace sign with his fingers, looking happy
Meanwhile while adult Ren is just a whole ass mood here
He looks annoyed/grumpy and he gives me the vibes of "Are we done? Can I leave now? I have my job and my own family and wife to go back to." and its probably just me but it feels like he doesn't want to be there xD (I mean I think on the inside he is happy to be there reunited with his old pals from the old SF days but at the same time I feel like he doesn't wanna be there since it gives me vibes of him needing to go back to his job since he is a CEO and a busy man)

I just realized with this new Shaman King reboot we’ll probably get a decent episode or two devoted to Horohoro, Bluebell, and the bear.
In the grand scope of things it might be considered a small “filler” arc BUT I want to see it all played out so I can cry because it’s the first chapter I ever read in a Shonen Jump magazine in, like, 2005, and therefore it’s the mini-arc that got me into Shaman King.
I WILL cry, ok?

RenMei original small moments and scenes (Manga) and SK2021 Studio Bridge’s changes
While RenMei does not get a lot of explicit scenes and moments together, in the original source material (Manga) there are at least 3 major hints of foreshadowing of Renmei, as well as other small easter eggs such as at least one ship teasing moment, one small moment and implications that they have a small moment together where they interacted during the plants arc. However, due to studio bridge having to cut off so much from the original source material and having the episodes count number restricted to 52 episodes, we have small scenes that did not get animated as well as other scenes that were completely changed.
Original manga
Chapter 178
Changes studio bridge have made
Episode 34
They did not show Jeanne’s shocked reaction to Marco’s comment on not wanting to bring Tao Ren back to life
Original Manga
Chapter 179
They never animated these parts
Chapter 180 was titled “First kiss”. However in episode 34, it was titled “To be king” instead.
They also did not animate Ren’s POV/ his desperate reactions on not wanting to be revived in episode 34 either.
After Ren gets revived, Jeanne reacted to his revival with a slight smile. However this also did not get animated
Marco gets annoyed at Ren for not showing any gratitude immediately towards Jeanne despite her reviving him and he comments on this. In Ren’s response, he wipes his mouth and spits on the ground, saying that it was a “Nuisance”

Chapter 219
After the fight of Marco vs Luchist, Jeanne and the x-laws joins up with Yoh and his other groups he was affiliated with, with Luchist and opacho also being there as well. Marco and Luchist would try to clash and almost fight again but is stopped by Lyserg, who offers him Belgium chocolate to calm Marco down. Marco then quietly calms down after this and requests for a cup of coffee from Denbat, who also refuses his request and almost begins an argument with Marco. Jeanne then stops this by offering Marco coffee herself to fully calm down the tension between them, saying she would take full responsibility and that the x-laws shouldn’t be fighting among themselves but rather they must take a new step forward as the new reborn “X-Laws”. In response to this, the X-Laws agreed with Jeanne’s words and does their X stance, all yelling “X” together.
Ren being completely annoyed with the commotion, slams his fists on the table and demands to have the attention shifted onto Yoh instead and have him explain what he has to say. However, Horo comments saying “Jeanne is cute isn’t she, Ren?” while Joco “slaps” Ren, yelling "This is no time for checking out girls!”. After this, everything starts shifting into a chaotic direction as a full comedic moment until Anna steps in and sends out her shikigamis to stop the chaos from happening.

In response, Ren comments saying it’s “Hao” they were dealing with and they don’t know what he’s capable of and his schemes are unpredictable. Joco on the other hand, calls Ren out for his fight with Magna for having a new technique coming out of nowhere and demands an answer so he can have a better understanding. Ren then throws his sword past against Joco and break one of the patch’s surveillance cameras, saying he can’t explain while the patch were watching. Joco then responds by saying he was aware of the cameras but he could have told them in secret, just like he did with Jeanne.

They changed Joco’s lines-- In the original manga, Joco mentioned Ren could have told them just like the time with Jeanne but however in the 2021 remake, the lines did not mention Jeanne and was instead changed to “I know that! You could just whisper it to me!”

Chapter 291
After the fight with Nichrome, Ren gets healed up but gets insecure, wondering if he will end up overcoming all his hatred he keeps receiving and create an Oni one day. Yoh then reassures him that he has his friends by his side and states there was another way to kill a heart full of hatred which was “love”. Yoh mentions that Ren too, will be able to find someone special with whom he will form a family one day and make all of the hatred disappear. This causes Ren to blush and Horohoro, joined in by Joco and Ryu poking fun at him, teasingly going “Now it’s time for someone to say the name of the girl you like!”. Ren then proceeds to get angry and fights the others that were teasing him.

Final chapter, chapter 300
6 years later after the Shaman Fight has ended, the 5 main warriors gathered together for their reunion, meeting at Funbari train station. After not seeing or having contact with one another for years, Ren shows up unexpectedly with his own baby son named Men, shocking the group in the process. Afterwards, the group heads to a family restaurant and Horo questions Ren who the mom was. Lyserg then offers Horo a hint by saying he should look at Men’s name, the color of his eyes and his hair. Taking on his hint of words, Horo then inspects Men carefully by doing all the above Lyserg has mentioned and when Horo stopped at Men’s name and pronounces it slowly, he then comes to a full realization on who the mother of Men was and before he could say anything else further, Ren changes the topic and asks when the “others” (Yoh and Anna) was coming.
The final chapter did not explicitly show who the mother of Men was but there was a very big hint of implication that reveal who the mother of Men was and who Ren was married to.
