SHAMAN KING (シャーマンキング)

Oh, thank goodness!

You've finally woken up, Manta!

What are you doing, Faust?

You had some weird plans, no doubt!

Whatever do you mean?

You had fainted,

so I was taking you back.

I fainted?

It seems it was a dreadful contest.

All three of Niles' members were slain,

with X-I securing victory.

Yeah…

Yoh and the others went to eat to keep their strength up

because the final match

of the Shaman Fight's opening day

features us, apparently.

What? Is that true, Faust?

Why are you so panicked?

Because I didn't know…

I didn't know the Shaman Fight would be this scary!

Manta.

You do nothing but worry about everyone!

You're damn right I do! The guys are…

So why not trust them?

If your friends are dear to you,

the best way you can help them in the Shaman Fight

is by having faith in them.

Don't worry.

We won't lose.

Hey, asshole! Did you just give me the stink eye?

Stop it, Ryu!

Honestly! You're a real piece of work.

Just because you've got pre-game nerves,

you can't take it out on everyone you see!

Cut him some slack, Anna.

That's probably just how Ryu relaxes and warms up.

Speaking of which, you're far too relaxed!

Honestly! What's wrong with everyone?

It's always the same with you two.

I'm sick to death of it.

Hey! Did you come to cheer us on?

Idiot. We just came here to eat.

I can't believe the Patch Tribe turned this school into a cafeteria.

That's some real dedication.

Anyway, do you really think now is the time to slurp on noodles?

Yeah! They can get brought back up out of your nose in your match

and you'll be a laughingstock!

Well, I wasn't really planning on moving around all that much…

We'll probably win with one blow.

What the hell are you trying to say?

Excuse me, everyone's staring at us,

so I think it might be best

not to say such provocative things…

Anna taught us the secrets of the Ultra Senji Ryakketsu.

We practiced its techniques and became very strong.

That's all I mean.

Now we'd better get going, Ryu.

You got it!

Do you understand now, Manta?

At long last,

the time has come

for us to demonstrate the power of the Ultra Senji Ryakketsu and our faith.

Go get them! Team Funbari Hot Springs!

Hey!

What is this nonsense?

Someone who had trouble in his final prelim match

could never get that strong in just two months.

What matters is your natural instincts! Your environment! Your work ethic!

If we don't finish this in one hit,

our pride will never recover!

Hold up.

Sorry, but would you leave us alone?

I understand why you're pissed off, though.

I get it!

You're their opponents, the Icemen!

Aren't you the team who just fought?

They're your pals, huh?

No wonder your match was so lukewarm.

Hey, easy now!

What?

I thought you were trying to calm things down!

The one who becomes the Shaman King

must be outstanding in all areas.

You guys are all over the place!

And the way you fight is a mess, to say the least.

Your jokes are cringeworthy!

Hey! You're picking a fight with the guy trying to make peace?

All you're doing is getting in our way.

Over Soul, Vodyanoy.

I am a Russian Shaman,

a commander of Slavic legend's forgotten higher spirits.

My name is Zria. This drum is my intermediary.

When Vodyanoy, a water spirit, possesses it,

we can control all the moisture in the air.

Joco!

Over Soul, Badbh.

I'm a Shaman hailing from Ireland,

a druid of the now lost Ulster tradition.

Pino's the name.

My intermediary is this mistletoe crook.

Badbh, my Spirit Ally,

is a goddess who takes the form of the raven.

My party trick is magic that removes all heat!

Hey!

After you've messed with us once, you never mess with us again.

Over Soul, Deht the Viking.

I am a Shaman from Iceland,

a Runemaster of the lost Edda mythology.

Cadimahide.

My intermediary is this helmet.

Once my Spirit Ally, Deht the Viking, takes hold of it,

he becomes my armor, destroying everything in his path!

Hold it right there!

Well, we've shown enough of what we're capable of to you sightseers.

I'll let this one slide.

So you can put it that away.

We were just having a little fun.

Needless to say, my two men weren't going all out.

And here's a word of warning.

Don't take Yoh lightly.

Ren!

Oh, really?

Oh, man. I can't wait for the match!

Why are you acting so carefree?

If you don't get changed soon, you'll be late!

Okay!

I'm going to go leave it all in the ring, Grandpa!

You finally decided to show up, did you?

We're tired of waiting, you bunch of big-mouths!

Who? Us?

Don't act dumb!

That get-up… You think this is a joke?

You look like you've just gotten out of bed.

Well, we'll wake you up with one good shot!

What?

They've already produced their Spirit Allies.

They must be keen!

Why are they so mad?

Was it something I did?

I saw everything.

Who'd have thought that would happen in the cafeteria?

But that doesn't give those bastards the right to mock my uniforms!

It's the advert for Funbari Hot Springs they're mocking, Anna…

Never mind the uniforms.

Those guys are dangerous!

No, you're weak.

You're just a fool, that's all.

Don't, Horohoro!

If you mess with them, you're done for!

Even I can see that they know what they're doing.

But there's one thing I don't understand.

The Ultra Senji Ryakketsu.

And what was inside the package Yoh was holding?

He seems unusually confident.

It can't just be something that simply makes him stronger, right?

I'm not telling the enemy.

It's something extremely precious to the Asakuras.

You'll see its power soon enough.

But I can only share its true secrets

with warriors aiding our cause.

The cause Yoh is fighting for is far greater than Funbari Hot Springs.

Right, so that's what happened.

That must have upset you.

My bad, Icemen.

Spare us the phony apology.

Not when you leave your Spirit Ally to keep an eye on us.

What is he, your spy?

What did you say?

Leave it, Ryu.

My Spirit Ally is Amidamaru, a samurai.

This is Harusame, my intermediary.

It's a beat-up old sword that I've broken twice already.

He was watching you because, as a samurai,

he wanted to protect me.

There was no ill will there.

Besides, finding out all about you

won't change anything we do.

Because after all,

we'll probably win either way.

I told you, you'll pay for underestimating us!

Who do you think you are?

You sure talk big

for three people who only have human spirits!

Master Yoh…

So much has come to pass

since you saved me.

I always wanted to live as a true samurai.

So the days spent being of service to you

have been my most fulfilling, in life and death!

Now is the time…

to repay my debt of gratitude!

Amidamaru!

Would you care to test

the complete body-and-soul devotion of Amidamaru?

Okay. Let's do this,

Amidamaru!

Amidamaru in Harusame!

In Futsu-no-Mitama Sword!

Over Soul!

Spirit of Sword!
