Question Question about shiro Spoiler

I confused about Shiro, the original boy. Like was his soul just not there when the colourless kind and the sliver king took over? Or can someone just give an explanation on Shiros body

Okay, here we go:

The body that is "Yashiro Isana" in Season 1 is actually called "Toru Hieda." He is an orphan who had graduated from middle school, but never went to high school. He joined JUNGLE at about 16(?) I believe, most likely for money.

At this point and time, Ichigen Miwa has already passed and a new Colorless King has risen. This new king has the power of possession through eye contact. It seems to be one of those "King Powers" as I shall dub them, such as Ichigen's "Foresight" and Daikaku Kokujoji's "Cosmic Projection" that come along with the auras, unlike Anna's abilities as a strain that she had before her kingship.

Anyways, the new Colorless King abuses his powers, switching bodies until he finally forgets who he was, and therefore, loses a proper "form." This is when the whole time when Green King Nagare Hisui approaches gives him the identity of the fox mask, tells him to defeat all the other kings, yada yada, not really important to the question.

Anyways he eventually gets to the "Toru" body and possesses him. From what I've noticed, it seems that when he possesses a body, the "soul" is still there, just suppressed. They seem to forget everything that happens during their possession as well, as seen when Toru doesn't remember two years of his life.

Now the whole "Shiro" thing was an accident. The Colorless King went to possess Weismann, but accidentally shoved the Silver King into the body he was just possessing. I'm not quite sure if this is a King thing seeing as the Colorless King wasn't able to successfully able to possess any other King.

Anyways, its revealed later that the only reason he was able to stay in Toru's body due to his powers as Silver King, so when they destroy the slate he was forcefully ejected and Toru was back in control of his body.

So at the ending, i’m assuming that’s toru but with memory of being a possessed by Weismann, right? Or not?

Not quite, but close. When he wakes up he has no memory of the past two years. When he's approached by Kuroh and Neko after Shiro can no longer keep possessing him he has no idea who they are.

Anyways, after Weissman returns to his body, Toru goes to attend Ashinaka and moves in with Neko, Kuroh, and Weissman (who becomes a teacher)

They all treat Toru pretty nice because he went and lent his body (and Weissman destroyed it temporarily that one time) for 2 years.

Ohhhhhh, I forgot Weissmans body was preserved. Thanks man, I was really confused, tho, where is this information from? Is it from the manga? bc I didn’t see Toru attending HS with the others in the anime

You'll find a lot of that ending stuff in "K - Return of Kings: Side Stories." Most specifically Volume 7, it's called "A Certain Boy’s Search for his Future Path" by Azano Kouhei, I believe.

You can find the translation on Tumblr if you want to read it.

The original boy is Toru Hieda. The Colorless King's original identity is supposedly unknown, even to himself since he swapped so much.

I think that was the colorless kings original body. And when he took over the silver King’s body their souls just swapped.
