General Trivia

It is mentioned in the interview part in the "Shaman King Official Fan Book Mankin Book", Ren would like a girl if she is smaller than him and was not very annoying. After this question was asked, another question was asked if Shamash was counted as his ‘first kiss’. Ren then replies, “THAT DOESN’T COUNT!”. These two interview questions are seen as hints / foreshadowing of the pairing by fans since the question went from being his type of girl he would like to ‘if Shamash was counted as his first’, which leads up hinting (And foreshadowing) that it being Jeanne (Jeanne’s height being 141 while Ren is 150 in the beginning of the series. If we look at Jeanne’s personality, she is soft and kind most of the time and does not have a loud personality.)

In "Shaman King Official Fan Book Mankin Book", similarly like the question that has asked Ren on what type of "girl" he likes, a question was asked to Jeanne on what type of person she likes and she responded that she likes those who have pure hearts. One of the main characteristic traits of having a pure heart is honesty. This is also seen as a hint for as why Ren and Jeanne officially got together because when Ren met Jeanne for the first time, he was very brutally honest to her after she revived him for the first time.

In the Shaman King Mentalite interviews, a question was asked to Jeanne that there has been many life changing events and if there have been any fateful encounters and Jeanne replies with: "Ehehe. Yes. Through this tournament, I met many people and learned so much. Among them, meeting that one person was truly shocking. It was the first time in my life someone had greatly insulted at me to my face like that… Looking back now, from that very moment, I must have felt something for that person…". However before Jeanne could say anything further, Marco interrupts her and stops the interview.

According to the official Japanese ship name, the ship name for Ren x Jeanne is 蓮メイ (RenMei) In Japanese, Jeanne’s full name is pronounced as “Aian Mei-den Jannu” (アイアン・メイデン・ジャンヌ). In the Japanese fandom, a lot of fans tends to call Jeanne "Meiden" and usually always call her that out from admiration, love and respect they have for her character. Jeanne also hails from a "higher" class as shown in the series. In the culture, people's status's and names are very important. Calling someone by their first name is actually a super big deal in most Asian countries and Japan is no exception to this as they have had this etiquette around for a very long time. First names can only be used when you are around your close friends, family or lover. In Japanese (and a lot of Asian society in general) society, social standing relative to each other is insanely important. Your relative social status and seniority to those around you is something that you and others are expected to be aware of and acting properly in accordance with at almost all times. In Japan, unless you’re talking to a very close friend or family member (and sometimes even not then), you’re expected to use some kind of honorific to denote your relative social status to whoever you’re talking to.

The Korean ship name for Renmei is: 렌잔느

The Chinese ship name for RenMei is: 莲贞

Coincidentally, the word "RenMei" in Japanese means league, federation, union or alliance.

Although Renmei was not planned from the beginning according to Takei in a previous interview he answered before, there has been a few semi “Coincidental” moments with them from the 2001 anime and one moment from the 2021 anime.

In the 2001 anime, almost everyone including Ren, calls Jeanne by her first actual name (Jeanne) However, in the Shaman King manga and 2021 anime, she is referred as Maiden / Maiden-sama instead by everyone. Much later on when they're much older and when they got together, Ren now calls Jeanne by her actual name.

According to 2021 Anime’s first major appearances of Ren and Jeanne, they were both shown to tilt their heads to the left. This may however, be coincidental.

(Shaman King 2021 Episodes 2 and Episode 21)

They both killed older brothers from a family, Chrome and Anahol. Later, both were confronted by the younger brothers, Nichrome and Anatel, who then killed them in the process. Ren and Jeanne allowed themselves to be killed to atone for their crimes.

In both of their battle-outfit designs, they seem to be associated with spikes, Ren’s hair being styled into a “Tongari” and Jeanne’s battle outfit having a spiky tip on her battle helmet, spikes on both sides of her abdomen and spikes in her footwear as well as altogether of her staying in the Iron Maiden.

Ren and Jeanne are often associated with the color purple due to their designs, Ren’s hair being dark-purple and Jeanne’s battle outfit being purple. In most of the 2021 anime reboot merchandise, their color schemes are always purple (Dark purple for Ren while light purple for Jeanne)

They are also associated with the letter “X”. 

Jeanne is associated with "X" Laws 

In a Merch collaboration between "Shaman King x Village Vanguard", Jeanne is shown to wear an outfit with "X's" on her headband and on her dress design as well.

Ren has an outfit with "X's" as his buttons 

Adult Ren wears an "X" Shaped Hair clip

Ren is affiliated with X-Charity and took after the organization after Jeanne retires from giving birth to Men. After the Shaman fight, Jeanne and the rest of the X-Laws (except Marco) were inspired to reunite at Mont Saint-Michel. Jeanne reformed the X-Laws into a charity organization, which would visit war-torn regions and deliver aid. Jeanne would also pacify the areas tortured spirits with her compassion and desire for peace. The charity grew with help and funding from Ren's company, the Leidi Group

In most official art and merch advertisements, they are always either shown almost near each other or shown on opposite sides of each other. Ironically, they also have opposite personalities, Ren being serious, logical and aloof while Jeanne being more soft and kind.

In the manga, Ren and Jeanne are seen to be topless at times, them wearing similar pants to one another.

In chapter 277, in one scene, Chocolove mentions Ren talked to Jeanne in “secret” which Ren replied that he didn’t want to bother responding to his question. It has been heavily implied that Ren and Jeanne may have likely interacted when Jeanne revived him the 2nd time.

In a extra chapter (Shaman King Fanbook 2), Jeanne was shown on the cover art for the extra chapter, wearing a veil and praying. The wedding veil Jeanne worn is also similar to that veil as well.

In March 2nd 2017, Takei posted an official art on his Twitter of Adult Ren with baby Men on Jeanne’s birthday.

The name ‘Men‘ means industry and is formed by taking the first kana (“ME"（メ) of Maiden and the last kana (“EN"（ン）) from Ren. This is the same method of naming is the same as Asakura Hana.

When Jeanne find out she was pregnant, she cuts her hair so her hair wouldn’t get in the way when she holds him. She also stopped wearing dresses with frills as well.

Since Jeanne is French and Ren is Chinese, that would make men a mixed Chinese-French child.

After giving birth to Men and going on Maternity leave, Jeanne eventually retires from X-Charity and since then, Ren has been running her organization.

Ren keeps a lot of photo-frames of his family on his desk at work as seen in the sequels (Red Crimson, Day after Maize, Marcos and The super star)

Ren has an obsession with milk as he drank three bottles of milk daily during his youth. As an adult, he still enjoys dairy products and loves Jeanne's homemade cheesecake

In Red Crimson, while comforting Men and telling him more about Jeanne, Ren reminisces about how beautiful younger Jeanne was because of her long hair and the frilly dresses she had worn.

In the sequels (Red Crimson and Marcos) Ren and Jeanne are shown to have a lot of physical contact at times such as Ren putting his hands on her shoulders and hips, showing affection.

Shaman King Funbari Chronicles Trivia

Although there are currently no explicit RenMei moments in the game, there have been coincidental moments, Easter eggs and ship teasing/hints/foreshadowing's in Funbari Chronicles.

The player gets to put Ren and Jeanne in the same party together and have them fight alongside together.

In the game, it is known that before the battle starts, characters would usually pass words to each other (This only occurs if the characters already have a established connection to each other such as Yoh and Anna, Team the Ren, Hanagumi girls, etc.) However Ren and Jeanne does not pass any words to each other before battle. This is because Ren and Jeanne does not have an established connection and interactions in the original Shaman King series.

However, while there is no voice lines of them interacting in the game, there is a few moments that can be taken as a RenMei "moment" by fans where Jeanne would heal Ren and Ren responds to getting healed. However these specific voice lines is not limited to just only Ren and Jeanne since Jeanne's healing voice lines is universally used on all characters in the game, including Ren's voice line response to him getting healed by other healers.

The player gets to put Ren and Jeanne in a inn in the game where the inn gets to showcase some "moments" with them at times. This is however, can be interpreted as either coincidental moments or a ship moment.

In the game, there is a special 3 stars character ticket (Golden ticket) that has 3 star characters coming at random if the player uses the ticket to summon. In this specific ticket, Ren and Jeanne are the only ones to be shown as the preview ticket's thumbnail image (And as well as them being shown to be right next to each other in the banner's image)

In the 1st half anniversary of Shaman King Funbari Chronicles, in a special page section in Ryu's shop shows a special shop limited to getting seasonal characters in the game. Ren and Jeanne are shown to be next each other as the thumbnail image in the shop.

In the game, in a section called "Shaman Fight" has 2 sections: "Shaman Fight" and "Kalim's training ground".  Kalim's training ground is a section where players gets three following sections to play in (In Order from top to bottom):

Fighting other players online

Practice fighting same specific colored NPC mono teams

Practice fighting normal NPCs.

In the 3rd section, "Fighting normal NPCs" showcases 3 kinds of NPC teams, Funbari Onsen, Team the Ren and Team Hanagumi.

In Team the Ren, Jeanne is shown to be in this team as a backup. There has been some speculations from fans that Jeanne's placement in Ren's team may be foreshadowing that Jeanne will establish a connection to Ren and becoming a Tao in the future but it is unknown if this official placement was either intentional or a coincidence.

In a 2022 seasonal event, Valentine's day, showcases a School AU where Jeanne is included in this event as a character unit alongside with Marion and Kanna (Matilda is also a free character unit in this event) as students. According to Jeanne's bio, it translates to:

Jeanne, as the Saint President, maintains order at the school. She is known as the "Pure White Angel" of the school and some students envy her. She is kind to everyone but there is only one student she does not know how to deal with.

There has been many speculation from fans that the one student Jeanne has trouble dealing with may have to do with Ren. 

This bio is re-used again in her other unit (Pure blood and Innocence)

In a 2022 seasonal event held in October, it has been confirmed that Ren attends the same school as Jeanne in the official Funkuro school AU (As seen in Purple (School) Jun’s 3 star art and in Green (School) Jeanne’s 3 star art) 

There has been a few RenMei ship teasing’s that appeared during the 2022 October event:

In this image, many fans have speculated that Jeanne may have likely interacted with Ren, who is running a Peach bun’s stall during the school festival and is shown to be eating peach buns as she happily walks off from his stall afterwards. But however, this is not the case as according to her special unit story, Jeanne interacted with everybody at the festival but except for Ren. |x| 

In "Jeanne’s special mission", Ren and Jeanne are shown together in the thumbnail image.

The Vision card where Shamash revives Ren was also included in Green (School) Jeanne’s banner. In this card, Ren and Jeanne are the only characters that are able to use this card as bonuses that enhances their skills further in battle. 

Translation of Ren and Jeanne’s vision card:

If Green attribute, the attack power will increase by 40%

If Green attribute, the recovery heals will increases by 15%

If Green attribute, the recovery heals will increased by 20%

The VC in action:

In a section called “Quest” exists multiple sections, including “Rarity Material”. Rarity Material is a section where players collect character’s special orange “orbs” and farm (Also known as collecting) for various characters on a daily basis. This section includes almost all of the standard characters in a wide list. 

In a previous earlier version of Funkuro, at the very bottom of the list showcases Ren and Jeanne being right next to each other. However in the final version, they are no longer next to each other.

Previous early version:

Final version:

In Funkuro’s final and last Shaman fight that was held from June 5th to July 12th 2023, Ren and Jeanne were placed on the same team together in the 3rd battle in the final Fight. 

While they did not pass any words on the same team together, they were shown to cooperate with each other during in battle (Jeanne raising up defensive shields on the both of them (Turns 1, 3, 6), Jeanne raising both of their attacks up (Turn 5), Ren raising up their status effect attacks (Turn 6) and Jeanne curing any status effects they both had that were inflicted by the player’s team. (Turn 7)

They also inflict double damage to the player’s team, Ren’s inflicting electricity attacks and Jeanne inflicting Bleed attacks; This can also result in the player’s team dying quickly if electricity and bleed resistance VC’s are not equipped on the player’s team.

Ren and Jeanne's compatibility as a couple: Zodiac signs, Chinese zodiac and Blood type compatibility

Although it has been stated that Takei didn't planned RenMei to be a couple, oddly enough the pairing have shown to have very high combability as a couple when it comes to the following: Zodiac signs, the Chinese zodiac and Blood type.

Zodiac sign

Ren is Capricorn ♑ (January 1st), Jeanne is Pisces ♓ (March 2nd)

There exists a very strong attraction between the Capricorn and Pisces. The Capricorn man and Pisces woman make a very interesting couple. Both of them are lovely, warm, and affectionate and have strong belief in relationships. There are numerous things that keep them attracted to each other. The Capricorn has a strong aura of strength and conviction which the Pisces admires and adores. On the other hand the Pisces is very kind and hospitable which inspires the Capricorn. Both of them are stable, loyal and honest when it comes to their relationship. They might have different ideas of love and companionship but their dedication and commitment to each other always keep them on one track. Their relationship is one of the best experiences they can have in their life which is almost fairy tale like. There is mutual respect and understanding between them and they always keep complimenting each other on their strengths which keep their spirits alive. They learn from each other and try to fill the gaps in their personality by picking up traits from the other’s nature. They feel loved, admired, cared and valued in each other’s company which makes their relationship a truly blissful experience for them.

The Capricorn man is disciplined, orderly, controlled and always abides by the rules and regulations. He always takes the safe path and avoids taking risks. He has set goals and ambitions for himself and diligently works to achieve them. He is not very vocal and expressive when it comes to emotions and feelings. He takes time to open up to people but deep inside he has a lot of feelings and emotions which he will show only to his near and dear ones. He is very protective of his loved ones and is ready to do anything for them.

The Pisces woman is gentle, elegant and charming. She has all the qualities of a lady and is extremely pleasant. She has a unique innocence about her and she is very expressive and emotional. Sometimes she takes things too seriously and gets hurt very easily. She is a great humanitarian and is always ready to make any kind of sacrifices for the cause of greater good. She is always calm and committed to her duties and responsibilities. She never needs constant monitoring and guidance to fulfil her tasks. She never hesitates to accept her mistake and learn from them. In relationships she is a perfect caretaker.

Both of them bring plenty to the table to make their relationship vibrant and meaningful. The Pisces woman helps the Capricorn man to relax and respects him for his ambition, dedication and commitment. He on the other hand, enjoys her pleasant nature and giving attitude. They feel warm and protected in each other’s company. Each of them has a lot of qualities in them that they expect from their partner. Some things that might bother them are the indecisiveness and over dreamy nature of the Pisces woman and the inexpressive nature of the Capricorn man. Rest assured, all the qualities are very compatible.

Communication and Trust

Good communication is key in every relationship. This is especially true for Capricorn and Pisces. They have unique communication styles because of their personalities and zodiac signs

Capricorn is practical, logical, and loves organization. They like to keep things simple and direct. Their thoughts are based on reality, making their words clear and to the point.

Pisces, however, is full of emotions, intuition, and dreams. They are caring and express themselves in poetic ways. Pisces speaks from the heart, adding a layer of depth to conversations.

Capricorn’s practicality meets Pisces’ emotional insight. Capricorn might make Pisces feel safe enough to share deeper thoughts. And Pisces can show Capricorn how to value emotions in talking. Still, Capricorn and Pisces may find their styles clash. Capricorn’s practical mindset might not get Pisces’ poetic messages. They might struggle to connect on a deep, emotional level. To make things work, Capricorn must appreciate Pisces’ emotional language. They should listen more to see the creativity Pisces adds. It’s important to know Pisces is not just saying things; they’re painting with words. On the other hand, Pisces has to understand Capricorn’s focus on organizing thoughts. They need to see that Capricorn’s directness comes from wanting clear understanding. They aim for efficient talks that make sense.

Finding a middle ground is key for Capricorn and Pisces. They both need to listen and value each other’s way of speaking. This means having honest conversations and respecting different views. Building better communication will take effort from both. Patience, understanding, and being open to new ways of talking are vital. By respecting what makes them different, Capricorn and Pisces can communicate clearly and deeply.

Trust is also the key to any strong relationship, especially for Capricorn and Pisces. They have to blend their ways of looking at life. Capricorn prioritizes honesty and hard work. Pisces leans towards mystery and change. To trust each other, Capricorn and Pisces must show they are dependable. Capricorn’s realistic view meets Pisces’s spiritual one. This mix takes understanding but can lead to a deep trust bond.

These two signs, Capricorn and Pisces, have energies that fit well together. They can find joy in each other’s differences. This makes it easier for them to trust one another. Yet, Capricorns might come off as too bossy, which could hurt their trust with Pisces. Capricorn must learn to let Pisces be free. This is key to keeping their trust strong.

For Capricorn and Pisces, trust is the heart of their relationship. It builds a place where they feel safe to follow their dreams. If they trust each other fully, their bond will thrive.

Sexual Combability

Capricorn and Pisces have a special connection in bed. Though different, they share a passionate and deep link. Capricorn is guided by Saturn, bringing order and stability. Pisces, under Jupiter and Neptune, offers creativity and openness.

Capricorn likes to take the lead in the bedroom, while Pisces is more passive and open-minded. This in return creates a good balance between them. Pisces is very romantic and imaginative when it comes to sex and they enjoy living out fantasies with their partner. Capricorn on the other hand has a secret kinky side that comes out when they feel comfortable. They are very sensual and attentive lovers. At first, Capricorn may be shy about showing this side of themselves to Pisces. But they become more adventurous once a good amount of trust is built between them. Pisces helps Capricorn emotionally connect during sex through their empathy and intuition.

Where They Excel Together in The Bedroom

Role-playing – Pisces loves acting out romantic fantasies, which Capricorn happily goes along with.

Experimentation – Capricorn sheds their usually cautious nature to try new things. Pisces is flexible and open

Passion – There is strong physical and emotional chemistry between them

Communication – Pisces can sense what Capricorn needs through emotional intuition.

In the bedroom, Capricorn and Pisces balance each other nicely and overall brings them very closer in bed. They combine reason with emotion, bonding strongly. Pisces brings out Capricorn’s passionate side, while Capricorn gives Pisces the structure and confidence to fully embrace their sexuality. Capricorn’s structure fits Pisces need for deep feelings and discovering new things. This creates a meaningful connection that translates to other areas of their relationship.

They truly grasp each other’s wishes, boosting trust and love in bed. This makes their time together special, fun, and fulfilling.

Shared Strengths and Relationship Growth

Despite their differences, the Capricorn man and Pisces woman share strong values that can create a lasting foundation. Both are loyal, devoted, and value emotional commitment. Neither is interested in shallow connections. They both want a relationship that feels meaningful and supportive.

The Capricorn man brings discipline, protection, and a sense of order. He offers her stability and a practical plan for the future. The Pisces woman brings empathy, creativity, and emotional healing. She reminds him of the importance of love, dreams, and emotional connection.

They both tend to be more private than social, which helps them focus on building a quiet, nurturing bond. Their energies complement each other. He grounds her while she softens him.

Over time, they learn from each other. She helps him access deeper emotional layers. He helps her turn dreams into reality. As long as they stay emotionally connected and make space for both structure and sensitivity, their love can grow stronger with each passing year.

Chinese Zodiac sign

Ren’s Chinese zodiac is tiger 🐯 (1986) Jeanne’s Chinese zodiac sign being horse 🐴 (1990)

According to the Chinese zodiac combability, both of them are dynamic and outgoing. They need each other’s accompany, and can get satisfaction from family. The two can lead a harmonious life |x|

Blood type

Both Ren and Jeanne blood types are AB

They are the most interesting type compared to the others because this blood type is labeled as either genius or psycho. They are unpredictable because they often jump around from one activity to the next and their temperament is mixture of blood type A and B, therefore their personalities change quickly depending on their mood and the situation, and sometimes they don’t have control over it. Also type ABs are rational thinkers, therefore they cannot stand it when they find some situations to be irrational. As a result, they may have some difficulties interacting with people, giving others the wrong impression of being moody or two-faced |x|

The best blood type compatibility for AB is AB, followed by B as well |x|

Symbolisms

Animal symbolism

Ren is often associated with tigers

Ren was born into the year of 1986, which is the year of the tiger.

As a kid, Ren used to have a favorite toy, which was a tiger plush

In one of the official Halloween illustrations from the original manga series, Ren was dressed up as a tiger for Halloween

Throughout Chinese history, the tiger has incited a sense of both awe and admiration: its prowess, its ferocity, its beauty, and the harmony of the opposites. The tiger is full of life and embodies the spirit and drive to achieve and make progress.

With fans, Jeanne is often sometimes associated with a rabbit due to how similar her silver hair and red eyes are to a albino rabbit.

However, Jeanne was born into the year of the horse (1990)

Fans also associate Jeanne with sheeps since according to the Chinese culture, the sheep is a symbol of Justice.

In ancient China, a sheep symbolized the concept of justice. Xiezhi was a mystical sheep that sought out people who had committed crimes and would gore them with its horns for punishment. Some tales said that the sheep would eat criminals instead. Some old parts of China still use the sign of a sheep as a mark of office for judges. |x|

Ironically, though the sheep itself is considered lucky, many parents aren’t always happy to have children during a sheep year. Their sensitive personalities are sometimes seen as needy or weak in Chinese culture.

Sheep are very sensitive people given to flights of fancy and deep creativity. They love things of beauty, and will surround themselves with luxurious items whenever possible. That includes clothes, and you can count on a Sheep to know the latest fashions. |x|

In Western culture, the sheep is associated with the sacrificial lamb, so in a way the animal fits Jeanne in all her contexts: from her being a Holy Maiden that endures pain, to being a symbol of justice, and later her marriage life. Sheeps in China were also a common wedding gift |x|

Sheeps also represent people with sweet, forgiving personalities.

Had Jeanne been born into 1991, she would have been born into the year of Sheep. 

Ren and Jeanne are also associated with Felines:

Ren is associated with tigers. His Chinese zodiac sign is the tiger

In his younger childhood, he had a tiger plush

Ren has worn tiger ears in the 2021 merch (And not just tiger ears but cat ears multiple times as well in other merch)

In one of the 2021 anime merch, Jeanne had a purse that resembles a white tiger

In the Funkuro School AU, Tamao mentions that Jeanne is a cat lover

In one of the 2021 merch, Ren and Jeanne appears with cats right beside them 

Color symbolisms

Ren is often associated with the colors Purple and Yellow. 

Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. |x|

Yellow is an imperial color in traditional Chinese color symbolism, representing power, royalty, and prosperity. |x|

Because of these two colors, Ren is associated with royalty and emperor. 

Ren and Jeanne are also associated with both these colors as well. In the 2021 anime, Ren’s oversoul is Yellow while Jeanne’s oversoul is Purple.

Jeanne is often associated with White, Red and Purple sometimes. 

White, an inherently positive color, is associated with purity, virginity, innocence, light, goodness, heaven, safety, brilliance, illumination, understanding, cleanliness, faith, beginnings, sterility, spirituality, possibility, humility, sincerity, protection, softness, and perfection. |x|

In China, white is associated with purity and innocence, but also with a death omen (White in traditional Chinese culture, is the colors of funerals)

Red is a color of happiness and it's used in traditional weddings

Ren’s eye color is gold-yellow while Jeanne’s eye colors are red.

During Chinese New Year, the Chinese use a lot of red and gold colors. 

Red symbolizes good fortune and joy in Chinese culture and it is found everywhere during the Chinese New Year and other family holidays or gatherings. Customarily, on Chinese New Year, the elders give the younger ones a red envelope to welcome in the new year and give a blessing to the younger ones. The red envelope is also a symbol of prosperity. Red is also the color in Chinese weddings, representing good luck, joy and happiness, thus, red should not be worn on funerals.

Yellow/Gold is considered the most beautiful color. The Chinese saying, Yellow generates Yin and Yang, implies that yellow is the center of everything. Yellow symbolizes neutrality and good luck and is sometimes paired with red in place of gold. Yellow was the color of Imperial China and is held as the symbolic color of the five legendary emperors of ancient China. It also represents freedom from worldly cares and is thus esteemed in Buddhism as seen where Monks’ garments are yellow, as are elements of Buddhist temples.

Yellow is paired with red in many instances because the association is symbolic of all that is bright and positive.

Number symbolisms

Number 13 can either be lucky or unlucky in most Asian countries. Most Asian countries (Notably China and Japan) is very afraid of number 4 and 4 is typically associated with death. 1+3 equals 4 and Ren and Jeanne just so happens to be murderers associated with death. But if you think about it, RenMei as a couple is both unlucky and lucky at the same time. Ren was lucky to be saved by Jeanne twice, Jeanne was lucky to have reunited with Ren and he helped funded her charity, Ren was unlucky to have lost Jeanne.

In western culture, "Friday the 13" is considered an unlucky day

Ren’s birth month is January (1st month). Jeanne’s birth month is March (3rd month) Put 1 and 3 together, you get thirteen. Coincidentally, Men’s birthdate is on September thirteen. In the 2001 anime, Ren’s favorite number was three. Jeanne’s birth month just so happens to be March (3rd month) Jeanne's favorite hobby is going out 3 times a year. And Adult Ren wears three tongaris for his hair style

Flower symbolism

Ren’s actual Chinese name being “Lian” means Lotus.

Lotus also means “rebirth” in Hanakotoba (Japanese flower language)

Depending of the color, the lotus flower can have different meanings

Divine birth and purity are some of the meanings given to the lotus flower. Closely associated with Buddhism. There are lotuses in different colors and each one has its own special meaning. White symbolizes spiritual perfection and mental purity. Passion, compassion and love is represented by a red lotus. If the lotus is blue, it means knowledge, intelligence and wisdom. Deities of the highest order are the only ones represented by pink lotuses. Purple lotuses on the other hand means the Noble Eightfold Path and mysticism have been reached. |x|

In Chapter 124, from what it seems like, Jeanne was shown surrounded with white lilies around her.

White Lilies represents Chastity and Purity. But they're also commonly associated with funerals, as they represent rebirth, and a sense of peace and serenity

Coincidentally, Ren is also shown to be surrounded by both white lillies and white roses on his "deathbed" when he was about to be revived by Jeanne

(From original SK manga, SK Funbari spirits and from SK 2021 anime remake)

White roses symbolizes Purity, Innocence, Sympathy, Remembrance, New Beginnings, Spirituality, Reverence, Peace and Tranquility

Both lilies and roses are known to represent love, making both flowers the perfect romantic gesture. The lily is known to represent love, devotion, purity and fertility, with the innocent beauty of the flower known to symbolize new life and rebirth.

The rose has been associated with love for centuries, with one of the first instances of roses representing love coming from ancient Greek mythology. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, walked through a rose garden that had been shot by Cupid’s arrow, which made the roses grow thorns. Aphrodite was pricked by a rose thorn, and her blood turned the roses red, which may be a reason why red roses are often associated with romance. Today, roses are seen to represent affection, love, and admiration.

Roses are often considered more romantic or intimate, while lilies symbolize pure and innocent love.

As shown in the official wedding illustration of Ren and Jeanne, there appears to be light pink roses at their wedding. 

Light pink and white rose flower arrangements signify the ideas of happiness and joy, along with the purity of intention symbolized by white flowers. |x|

The light pink roses at their wedding represented happiness.

☆ 30 Days of Shaman King: Funbari Chronicle ☆

With one month left before the game  (#フンクロ) ends service, join us as we write, draw and reflect on the times we shared with Koeru, Yoh and friends! Feel free to follow the prompts or post what you like with  #funkuro30days

Keep in mind that these translations are not official since I’ve relied on various translation machines and tried my bestest to make it understandable as possible. If there are any concerns or mistakes anyone would like for me to go back and correct/edit, please kindly let me know so I can fix them!

This was based off a glitch I got when playing Shaman King Funkuro and going off Google translate, the most reliable way to translate games in a different language! /sarcasm
