THE FIGHT BEGINS
A shower of shooting stars signals the announcement of the long-awaited Shaman Fight: the tournament held once every 500 years to determine who will be crowned the next Shaman King. As the world’s shamans begin to gather in Tokyo, Yoh remains as carefree as ever…until he meets Silva—an officiant of the Shaman Fight, who challenges Yoh to prove himself worthy of earning the title of Shaman King! With his spirit ally Amidamaru, Yoh faces off against his first preliminary opponents: Horohoro, whose icy powers threaten to freeze them out, and Faust VIII, a morbid necromancer casting bone-chilling spells. With the stakes higher than ever, Anna, Yoh’s fiancée and coach, pushes his training beyond his limit. Does Yoh have what it takes to make it to the top, or will Anna’s training run him into the ground?
Series Overview: In a world where shamans communicate with the dead and call forth the power of legendary spirits to defeat their enemies in both body and soul, Yoh is a teenager with the ultimate ambition: to become the Shaman King, the one and only shaman who may commune with the Great Spirit and help remake the world for the better. But the road to this pinnacle of spiritual power runs through the Shaman Fight, a gauntlet of battles with rival mediums who call forth dizzying powers from the world of the dead in their own bids for the crown. At Yoh’s side is Anna, his coach, fiancée, and a powerful medium in her own right. Sure, it’d be nice if Yoh had a little more time to train and mature…but the Shaman Fight is only held once every 500 years, so he’s going to have to grow up quick!
