Volume 3 contains chapters 21 through 31. While Volume 4 contains chapters 32-42 along with a “Funbari No Uta” (or Funbari Stories) special chapter. This special chapter is the same as the original Volume 5 print stort story at the end. With this pattern, it will appear that each volume will contain 11 chapters. If that is the case, this is the following chapter breakdown for the remaining 23 volumes:

Volume 5 -> 43-53
Volume 6-> 54-64
Volume 7 -> 65-75
Volume 8 -> 76-86
Volume 9 -> 87-97
Volume 10 -> 98-108
Volume 11 -> 109-119
Volume 12 -> 120-130
Volume 13 -> 131-141
Volume 14 -> 142-152
Volume 15 -> 153-163
Volume 16 -> 164-174
Volume 17 -> 175-185
Volume 18 -> 186-196
Volume 19 -> 197-207
Volume 20 -> 208-218
Volume 21 -> 219-229
Volume 22 -> 230-240
Volume 23 -> 241-251
Volume 24 -> 252-262
Volume 25 -> 263-273
Volume 26 -> 274-284
Volume 27 -> 285-295

Outside of prediction, several changes were made with Chapter 21 in Volume 3 reprint. The first 2 pages were removed. These pages were replaced with a single “cover page” on the third page of the chapter. It’s also interesting to note that, the 2nd page in the reprint chapter was completely redrawn.  On the Volume 4 reprint table of contents there is a letter “q” placed on the page. This is most likely a printing error.

Shaman King Nation will have a complete comparison of Volumes 1 and 2 soon, with a general summery comparison of Volumes 3 and 4 will be made once scans are found.
