SHAMAN KING (シャーマンキング)

It's been too long

since we've talked like this.

It has.

Have you been well?

Yes. I have.

Right.

That's good to know.

Well, I've got an early start tomorrow, so I better go get some shuteye.

Already?

As long as you're okay, that's all I need to know.

What? Oh, okay…

But it must have been hard work finding me here.

Not for me. I didn't do anything.

But it sounds like Amidamaru had his work cut out for him!

No sooner had our match ended did I fly to every last corner of this island.

But such a task is child's play for me.

Hey, don't try so hard.

I'm saying it's child's play!

Okay, I get the picture!

Not so loud!

You'll wake everyone up!

"Everyone"?

Everyone from the X-Laws who's on this ship!

They say it's dangerous to go alone,

so there's a rule against leaving the ship by yourself.

Is there?

Sorry about this then.

But you did come all this way just to see me,

so I could hardly ignore you.

Besides, there's something I want to talk to you about too.

There is?

I've wanted to apologize to you.

You did so much for me back in America,

so doing what I did without so much as letting you know feels like a betrayal.

When I was with you guys, I felt so scared of my own weakness.

I was afraid of wavering.

There's no need to apologize for that, right, Amidamaru?

If it's your decision, Master Lyserg, that's all that matters.

Master Yoh will not reproach you over every petty detail.

Right. That's the kind of guy you are.

Honestly, what am I going on about?

Anna will give me hell, so I better get going.

Come hang out with us next time.

Everyone, all together.

Okay.

And don't push yourself too hard, Lyserg.

Yoh…

Thank you so much for coming here today.

Stop right there. Don't move a muscle, boy.

Marco!

Lyserg Diethel…

Good boys go to bed at eight o'clock, do they not?

Insolent brat!

Lyserg!

I told you not to move.

Not to mention,

you should worry about your own welfare.

Master Yoh!

Right.

The whole X-Laws crew is here, huh?

We don't have any business with you.

Interrogate him.

He could be one of Hao's followers,

here to deceive our comrade into joining their evil cause.

What?

Yoh…

There'll be no need for that, Marco.

In that last match,

his Furyoku was peaceful and perfectly clear.

Asakura Yoh is not evil.

The Iron Maiden!

With all due respect, Ms. Maiden, this boy has a history

of obstructing our justice.

He once protected one of Hao's followers!

Lower your gun, Marco.

What way is that to treat our friend?

Any friend of a friend is our friend.

They came all this way

just for the sake of our comrade, Lyserg Diethel.

A kindhearted boy like him

ought to be welcomed with open arms.

Yes. We should greet him as one of us, X-Laws!

What did she say?

What did she say?

You must be joking, Ms. Maiden!

Showing your face like this is the most immodest!

Oh, it's no joke, Marco!

His Furyoku is more than strong enough for him to join our ranks.

Look.

Even after all of this,

he remains completely and utterly unfazed.

So laid-back!

How about it, Asakura Yoh?

Will you join us in defeating Hao

and building a wonderful paradise?

Not happening. Anna would never allow it, for one.

And I don't like how you do things.

Yoh…

Is that…

so?

I am very sad.

Damn you!

This is exactly why I don't like you.

Stop it!

He is more than a match for you now.

It is truly regrettable

that one day,

we will have to judge your life as our foe.

Honestly… Why do you guys have to take everything so seriously?

Good night, Iron Maiden.

See you back at the Shaman Fight tomorrow.

I'm bored.

That's just how it is, Mari.

Damn… You just couldn't wait, could you?

We didn't get to do anything, thanks to you.

But they were giving me the creeps.

Yeah! Me too!

Oh, well. This ending so quickly means our treat will come even sooner.

What treat? How exciting!

Didn't you listen to Opacho's prophecy this morning?

About who's in the next match?

It's a one-sided victory for Hana-gumi!

What a stunning display!

As soon as the match began, they ended it at Mach speed!

It's over already?

What a bunch of pushovers.

They can't be that weak!

They did make it this far!

Hana-gumi must be pretty damn tough.

At this stage, it will be impossible to evaluate

just how strong he actually is.

You're right.

I wonder how they're going to fight.

Hoshi-gumi versus X-III!

The fated showdown is finally happening!

I'm sure everyone in this stadium is familiar with both teams!

There will be no one who doesn't know Hoshi-gumi's leader, Hao, at least.

Their opponents, X-III,

are members of the X-Laws,

an organization whose sole purpose is, believe it or not, to defeat Hao!

I can't say any more,

as the Patch Tribe takes a strictly neutral position,

but let's just say I'm kind of pumped!

That idiot announcer.

He always talks too much!

Who will emerge victoriously?

What a dumb question.

The answer's obvious already.

Will X-III's long-held dream finally come true?

Dreams don't come true.

They're made true!

I am Venstar, the captain of X-III.

We have orders from our leader, Ms. Maiden, to deliver your sentence.

Death!

Now those are fighting words!

X-III are raring to go!

What is this?

Hana-gumi just wrapped their match up in no time at all.

I've decided to fight by myself

in order to entertain the crowd more.

It's still not enough, though.

You might as well come at me with all your friends now.

And of course, that includes the weird girl too.

No way! Even bigger fighting words!

He just called Jeanne the Iron Maiden a "weird girl!"

I mean, it is true, though.

Bastard!

The tension here is at a breaking point!

Here we go!

Match five of the Primary Tournament!

Hoshi-gumi versus X-III!

Take this!

Take this!

My Spirit Ally, the holy angel,

Metatron!

Gabriel!

Ramiel!

9700 Furyoku.

8300.

10,500.

Seriously?

So small.

Fire!

Fire!

She was first.

And the slim one is next!

I'm going to destroy you.

Meene of X-III is dead.

That was overwhelming!

Hoshi-gumi's Hao has just put on a dominant show of power!

He's twisted!

This isn't a match! It's just senseless killing!

Where are you going?

I'm going to stop this damn match!

Don't do it.

They're still fighting.

Don't get in their way.

Yoh…

It's not over. Not yet!

By the time we were aware of his attack,
