SHAMAN KING (シャーマンキング)

Él es correcto

Now I see why you were able to hold your own against Yoh-sama.

As expected of Tao Ren.

Hmph, Yoh-sama again?

Your boss must really be worried about him.

We have our reasons

My spirit allies, Carlos and Juan.

They're my friends. They're mariachis, very famous in Mexico.

It was their combative nature, not their music that made them famous.

Peyote of Team Earth!

He's using the bodies of Boz as his medium!

Their aggression is what got them killed, riddles with lead by their own customers.

Stop belittling our manly story here, hey!

There's a big difference between manliness and stupidity.

Why... You!

There's nothing manly about using your own dying teammates as mediums either!

Going straight for me instead of attacking Boz...

Is that the way you show your manliness?

I was right, you're an idiot.

What are they?

Hey, there are more coming out!

They're Calavera dolls.

Calavera?

Skeletons of Mexico.

Symbols of death.

In Mexico they celebrate the day of the dead.

Once a year, the dead return to this world. The villagers celebrate by playing with the ghosts.

For Mexicans, the dead are friendly and cheerful.

On that day, Calavera dolls decorate the villages and play an important role.

Then these Calaveras are symbols that link life and death.

In other words, he uses bones as his medium.

Él es correcto!

I'm just a cheerful Shaman who plays with the dead.

When my guitar resounds in their souls, the ghosts dance, too.

They protect me.

And destroy my enemies.

Now you get it, don't you? I intended to use Boz as my mediums all along.

Their flesh-covered bones will be my weapons.

That's terrible...

I feel so bad for Boz...

Unforgivable.

As a bone-user myself, I find him despicable.

They pursued dreams that they were too weak to ever realize.

And they ended up dead. Some may call that manly, but I call it stupid.

Oh well, Boz should consider it an honor to be allowed to aid Hao-sama.

You bastard..!

Now I not only have to deal with you, but your two teammates as well.

It's about time for you to retire.

My Shaft will blow you away!

How very kind, but that's what makes you a fool!

What are you doing, Chocolove!

Just finish Boz off first!

Shut up!

If I hit them again, they'll die! Didn't you hear me?!

This is no time to worry about that!

Not again...

I don't want to see anybody die.

You're even stupider than I thought.

Grandpa...

If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

My kids are waiting at home for their presents. It's Christmas, please don't do this.

You had the bad luck of crossing paths with Shaft on the wrong day.

Curse your own fate.

As expected from Chocolove, he's turning into one scary dude!

He'll shoot anybody!

Chocolove is the best!

Shut up!

I'm not done yet, I'm gonna get me some more.

Hey, wait!

Don't be greedy!

It's the same every year.

He can't forget.

Christmas, 9 years ago.

That was the day he lost everything.

It wasn't Santa that showed up, but an armed robber with a big bag.

After that, he moved from orphanage to orphanage until he found a home with Shaft.

Chi...

Blood!

The cold of New York is hard on the body indeed.

Huh?! Hey, this ain't the time to be carefree.

Just kidding!

It's a blood bag that I use in my show.

It's just a gag.

You said Chi and I was bleeding.

I guess my humor's too highbrow for you.

Well, there is no way to do that

Anyways, I'm a traveling comedian.

I hope I was of some help to you.

Laughter is a wind

When I saw your sour face, I had to do something.

Get lost.

I don't care who you are, don't mess with me.

I'm kinda cranky today, so you're going to die.

I'm kinda hungry today!

This gun ain't a joke.

I've got enough of this guy.

All the worst scum comes out on Christmas.

You're dead meat now.

What good does killing do?

Has killing ever made you feel better, even once?

You're a sad child who's forgotten how to laugh.

Try laughing

Laughter is a wind.

The only way to blow the darkness out of your heart is to laugh and forget it.

You have very sad eyes.

This guy…

You're the one who won't be laughing!

Ah well.

I see I'll have to resort to violence.

I still have a lot to learn.

It'll be a long time before I can save the world with laughter.

Did you say: "Save the world with laughter"?

Huh?

That's crazy!

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while!

Really?!

You can't do that.

This world is full of enemies.

But I'll let you off the hook this time.

Just hurry.

Your stupid gag has put me in a bad mood.

Is that so?

Sheesh

All the worst scum comes out on Christmas.

Get lost, like I said!

I don't care for sad goodbyes.

By the way, how'd you do that?

And what's that thing that hit me?

What, you can see Mic?

Oh, I've find him at last!

The one who will be my successor!

Ah, that's much better.

It's a lot easier to get outta bed now those cold spring mornings are behind us, huh, Mic?

It's not as cold as it was in the spring...

But it's just right for wearing a pharaoh mask!

Can't you wait until after breakfast?

Now then, shall we begin our Shaman training?

Yeah!

Nothing beats an ice-cold cola after training!

Oh, that's right!

We'd better get the groceries before the old man starts with his punishing puns.

Things sure turn out in unexpected ways sometimes.

I was living with the old man and Mic.

It's not like I asked to stay.

But he said he'd teach me his tricks, and I was curious.

The old man's name was Olona, a Native American Shaman.

He said he was a traveling comedian, but there was something mysterious...

You know, his puns aren't very funny...

Hey, been a while, Chocolove.

Y-you guys!

Hey hey, you sure have mellowed out.

We've been looking for you.

Huh? I told you I quit Shaft.

Did you really think you could quit?

It's hard getting money without you.

You're Shaft's number one killer.

Just chill.

We came to take you back.

I beat up that old man who took you away from us.

Old man, are you alright?!

Chocolove...

Why didn't you beat them up with that move?!

I can't fight without Mic.

H-huh?

Hey hey, aren't we good enough for you?

You bastards, how dare you hurt the old man..!

Whoa! That's the crazy face I remember

Don't do it, Chocolove.

Don't give in to anger.

Don't worry about me

Huh? That's not what this is about.

You've been brainwashed.

But I'll open your eyes.

Cut it out right now! Put down your gun!

You sound like one of the dudes you killed.

Shit...

Didn't you hear me? I told you not to get angry.

Rage redeems no one.

You should know that better than anyone.

Chocolove

Are you blind? You have to do something!

I don't care if I die.

I'm an old man with an incurable disease.

No way, so the blood..?

But if you bare your fangs...

And turn to violence again, I can never rest in peace.

You..!

My home was in the heart of the Amazon.

Our young people were seduced by the modern world...

They flocked to the cities, now many tribes have disappeared.

And look at this city.

People strive against each other, wearing out their bodies and souls, and for what?

True happiness was never won through conflict.

True happiness is born of laughter and harmony.

Hey!

Chocolove

The Jaguar is the most powerful and noble beast.

Like the Shaman, it sees all and knows the truth.

At that time your soul was full of rage...

The winds of laughter blew that away...
