In order to qualify for the "Shaman Fight in Tokyo," Yoh must defeat Silva and the five animal spirits he controls, or wait another five hundred years for the next tournament.
The gathering has begun for the Shaman fight in Tokyo to determine who will become the Shaman King. When Yoh wakes in the hospital, he is introduced to his fiancée by an arranged marriage. She's a shaman too and it will take both their skills to survive Ren's family grudge.
Yoh's journey to the caves of Izumo has boosted his mana and his confidence; and in the final battle of the Shaman Fight preliminaries, Yoh is up against Tao Ren and his over soul, Bason.
Yoh and Manta face separate challenges, as Manta and Ryu travel by motorcycle across Japan to Yoh's faraway home in Izumo, while Yoh ventures into a cave in search of shamanic inspiration.
