SHAMAN KING (シャーマンキング)

The temple of Hao is about a 1000 years old.

A pit was dug here in the mountains by the Asakura family.

And it has been secretly built and sealed.

The one that is enshrined here...

Is an enemy that was destroyed by the Asakura

The great Onmyoji, Asakura Hao!

Great Onmyoji, Asakura Hao?

Not so loud, Tamao!

They'll hear us!

I'm sorry...

But I never knew there was such a huge secret temple down here.

I don't get it.

Why are you afraid of someone who has been dead for 1000 years?

That's the problem, he's not dead.

On the contrary, Asakura Hao already revealed himself to Yoh.

He even had the audacity to use the name Hao.

I know it's hard to believe.

But I sent Mikihisa to look into it, and the news is not good...

Hao has already reincarnated into this world...

And he is competing in the Shaman Fight to achieve his dream.

What are you saying?

Anna, surely you understand...

The meaning of the pentagrams that are in this room.

The five points signify the five elements.

The five principles that give form to all creation.

One who masters the pentagram...

Can control the very forces of nature.

He can foresee it's great events by fortune-telling.

Appeal to spirits for aid in magic...

And even command ferocious Shikigami...

Asakura Hao had mastered all of this.

He became a famous Onmyoji all over the country.

Thanks to him, we became the emperor's official diviners.

Then one day, Hao decided to destroy mankind and create a world solely for Shamans...

I don't know what he saw in the land of the gods that changed him, but it's inexcusable.

The Asakura family destroyed Hao with all our might.

But Hao had already mastered the pentagram.

The Supreme art of Onmyodo

With the ritual of Taizan Fukun...

He had gained the power to control his own soul.

Hey, he said Taizan Fukun...

In the spirit world everyone's scared of him. That's the ancient Chinese name for Enma.

1000 years ago, Hao learned about the Shaman Fight.

He has reincarnated himself so that he can become the Shaman King.

Our mission for the last 1000 years has been...

To undo the crimes of the rogue Asakura.

Though he doesn't know it yet, Yoh is also burdened with this task.

As heir to the Asakura destiny.

But that's not fair!

Why does Yoh-sama have to go against such a powerful foe without knowing anything yet?!

Tamao…

I thought it was you

You've got to bring Yoh-sama back right now.

Or else Yoh-sama will..

That idiot...

Are you afraid that Yoh will lose?

Yoh is going to be the Shaman King. That's why he's going to beat him.

Calm your selves.

We are not without the means to defeat Hao.

To defeat Hao...

We sealed something away so that Hao's great sins could not be repeated.

All the spells Hao used are inscribed in this book.

The Cho-Senjiryakketsu

If we break the seal and learn all the secrets stored within...

We may have a chance against Hao.

However only Hao's descendant's can use those spells.

Then we just need to give this to Yoh-sama.

Yes, but there's one problem.

The seal that bind's Hao's spells also binds his Shikigami familiars.

Breaking the seal will unleash Hao's two Shikigami.

Zenki and Goki will be resurrected!

I don't care anymore!

We're not hanging around for this!

They...

Yohmei-sama, the seal is broken!

You cannot escape.

You have discovered Hao-sama's secrets.

It is our duty to kill you!

I'm scared!

Help us!

Ponchi! Conchi!

Those are Asakura Hao's Shikigami, they emit enormous energy.

Even I can't do anything about them.

Are you serious?!

But I don't wanna die!

Sheesh

Those ghosts around here are worthless.

Anna-sama?

Oh, so that's how you do it.

Demon submission

This.. this girl!

That's.. ridiculous

What's the big idea? After all...

I'm Anna the Itako...

The wife of the Shaman King.

Hao-sama, blood.

Someone seems to have defeated my Shikigami.

Curses and spells cause a backlash when they're broken.

Interesting

This drizzle may yet become a storm.

The 1080.

These invincible beads can bind any ghost.

It's one of the Itako tools that Kino gave me

I was careless

I didn't expect Hao's shikigami to be so powerful.

Anna, I want you to deliver the Chō-Senjiryakketsu and teach Yoh to use the spells.

It wasn't just the power of your beads.

It was your own power.

And if you'd like, you can take Tamao.

I'm counting on you, Anna

Anna-sama!

Seems like you've raised quite an Itako there, Kino.

Of course I have

After all, she's my star pupil

But that Chō-Senjiryakketsu won't be enough to defeat Hao.

That's why you sent Yoh that package, right?

They’re only pieces of the puzzle

But it will all come together in time...

And the world will be as it should be

Why is he goofing off?

He can't help himself

Snow-capped mountains are like home to Horohoro.

It's okay, if he gets lost, I can dowse for him.

With your power, couldn't you just find the Patch Village?

I can't do that

I don't have that much experience, I can only look for people's Ki.

So I searched for Bron, who pre-qualified me, But I couldn't locate him.

He hid it during the qualifying exam, too. That gave me some trouble.

I think he hid it again.

How did you manage to pass?

I had to depend entirely on her senses

Come on out, Morphine.

She's the long-cherished guardian ghost of the Diethel family.

Morphine can find anything within a one-mile radius.

Still, that's pretty good

And anyway, she's cute.

She sure is cute.

Ryu, who are you talking to.

Your ghost is too cute for words.

Maybe the thing I was really dowsing for...

Somewhere deep down in my heart...

May have been friends.

I'm glad I met you guys.

Anyway, how much longer are we gonna be here?

We don't have time for this.

My snowboard's finally been fixed.

I'm going up again!

Hey you!

Guess we can't help it.

Horohoro, we're going to Duringo to check it out first.

Get back to us before it's dark.

Alright!

My board soul is burning!

It's been a long time since I've been in the air like this, Kororo.

What? Huh?!

Kororo?

No, Kororo's gone!

Oh good, you're awake

I made soup. Would you like some?

So this is Duringo, Colorado.

Pretty crowded for being in the middle of the mountains.

There are a lot of tourists because we're near Mesa Verdede national park.

Mesa Verdede has some old ruins

That makes it a likely place for the Patch Village.

Then why don't we just go there?

We can't, we have to wait for Horohoro.

It's already been 3 days!

What if he was in an accident?

Shouldn't we look for him?

Horohoro will be fine.

He's strong, he'll turn up sooner or later.

I've been unconscious for 3 days?!

I have to hurry and get back to the others!

But...

Both of your legs are broken.

It's a miracle you survived that fall from that cliff.

By the way you kept moaning "Kororo" in your sleep.

That's right, Kororo...

I'm sure she got jealous of Morphine.

I'm Horohoro

I don't know who you are, but thank you for saving me.

Wait!

I'm a national park ranger.

I'm responsible for this area, Bluebell Bloch

I have no idea what you're doing here, but...

I need to investigate.

And...

Apollo is outside.

Apollo?

So Apollo's a grizzly you raised from a cub?

Yes, his parents were killed by poachers.

My father, also a park ranger, took him in.

The scars left by a shotgun blast...

They looked like craters on the moon.

That's how he got that name.

But Apollo never got used to us

He even seemed to hate humans.

If you go out there and he attacks you, he'd have to be destroyed by the law.

I'm not going to let that happen.

I love Apollo
