Yoh Asakura is a shaman - one of the gifted few who, thanks to training or natural talent, can channel spirits that most people can't even see. With the help of his fiancee, Anna, Yoh is in training for the ultimate shaman sports event: the Shaman Fight, the once-every-500-years tournament to see who can shape humanity's future and become the Shaman King. But unfortunately for Yoh, every shaman in the world is competing for the same prize...

After hearing from Amidamaru, Yoh rushes to Ryu's rescue! Meanwhile, Joco decides to visit chums from his old gang, who are participating in the Shaman Fight on another team. But he is in for a nasty surprise...and all the while, Hao's team waits in the shadows for Yoh and his friends to let down their guard for just one moment.
