Lilirara.
You've already fulfilled your role.
It will be a real nuisance if you get in my way.
You can rest now.
Return to oblivion, Lilirara.
What's up, Yoh?
It just felt like Lilirara was calling out to us somehow.
What are you talking about?
We've only just said bye to her.
Well, if anything has happened, we're Shamans.
If she has something to say, she can just send a spirit.
There's a long journey ahead of us.
If you want to dawdle, I'll leave you behind.
Is it still bothering you?
At the end of the day, you're still feeble-hearted, aren't you?
Sorry.
I can't help wondering about him, though. Right?
Hao?
I suppose it's difficult not to.
The same applies to Goldva and the Patch Officiants.
It's hard to believe they don't know about Hao or what happened 500 years ago.
And yet they let him get away with throwing his weight around…
I guess we won't know anything until we get there.
Either way,
all this Shaman Fight stuff is getting crazy.
First of all, this "Shaman Kingdom" thing.
Hao's desire?
I feel like
that's the one thing I must stop.
Shaman or not,
everyone tries so hard just to get by in life.
Destroying them because it suits you is so wrong.
However,
as long as one of us becomes the Shaman King, it will be okay.
It was definitely pointing here before today.
Why has it suddenly moved?
Well, that's fine.
As long as I go where the pendulum points, I'll meet them.
The ones who know where Patch Village is…
ASA…
All right, everyone, listen up!
This is the map that Lilirara gave us yesterday.
We're currently 300km to the north of Yonta Fe.
Hey! Why are you suddenly in charge?
-It was my suggestion. -What?
Though we're destined to fight at some point,
we're also all in the same boat together.
In which case, having a leader will be essential.
-Leader? -Leader?
In terms of pure ability, I should be the leader.
But unfortunately, being the center of attention isn't my style.
-That's crap! -That's crap!
-You ride a horse down the street! -You ride a horse down the street!
And after you two foolish weaklings, that leaves only Yoh.
-What? -What?
-Yoh's a better choice than you too. -Yoh's a better choice than you too.
And where we're heading
is another 200km away, in the foothills of the Lucky Mountains.
The town of Duringo.
That's where Patch Village was 500 years ago
when the Seminoa warriors got there.
The odds that Patch Village is still there are slim,
but I'm sure we'll be able to get a lead on where it is there.
Okay! Let's make this another great day on the road!
Wait!
Kindly allow me
to join you on the way to your destination.
Who the hell are you?
Where are my manners? I haven't introduced myself.
I'm a Shaman Fight participant from Britain,
Lyserg Diethel.
My Spirit Ally is the fairy Morphea.
My dream is to be the world's greatest detective!
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you too!
What are you thinking, Leader?
If he's competing, he's our enemy!
Detective or not, letting him join us
will serve no purpose whatsoever.
What?
He's a "him"?
Yes!
I don't trust him!
He could be one of Hao's minions!
I just used Dowsing to get here.
"Dowsing"?
It's a radiation detection method.
It can locate groundwater or underground ores,
and is used in medicine to detect illness in patients.
The police also employ dowsers to find missing people.
I use Over Soul to put Morphea in this pendulum,
and this spiritual element makes for even greater detecting power.
And after looking for someone who knows the whereabouts of Patch Village,
I came across you.
What happened to Lilirara?
Lilirara?
See! Didn't I tell you?
This guy's full of it.
Now that's not nice!
Despite my appearance, my Dowsing never misses the mark.
Besides, unlike you, I'm intelligent,
I have travel money,
and most of all, I'm strong.
We don't know what lies ahead, so I suggest we work together.
I think having me on your side is definitely in your best interests, but…
What?
Are you picking a fight with me?
What are you doing, Horohoro?
Keep your mouth shut!
I'm about to give us one less rival!
So if I win, will you let me be your travel companion?
Hey! Stop it, both of you.
Forgive me.
I really do need some friends!
You think you can beat me with that cheap toy?
This will cool your jets!
Wow, terrific!
Your spirit uses ice attacks!
Homing Pendulum!
With Morphea in my pendulum through Over Soul,
it can follow you everywhere!
Didn't I tell you?
My Dowsing never misses the mark!
Say that once you hit me!
That's no good.
You'll never catch Morphea
with a big swing like that!
Horohoro!
I guess I'll just have to take you out along with your wire then.
Sorry, but I'm joining the fight too!
That's quite all right.
My Dowsing still won't miss.
I don't believe it!
The whole wire is charged with Over Soul?
You two are lucky.
Not only did we not meet in the preliminary round,
but I went easy on you too.
This guy!
He has a pretty face,
but his fighting skills are red-hot!
Well,
I think you appreciate my strength now.
In terms of raw power,
you probably have more. And we're equal in terms of Mana.
But just a little ingenuity makes this much difference.
-So-- -That's enough.
You expect to be our friend after hurting them so badly?
I'm taking these two to the hospital, so get out of our way.
If you don't, I'll show no mercy.
And I thought you'd attack me in anger.
How surprising.
Are you okay?
Ren? Horohoro?
Of course.
Something like that could never make me quit.
Though it looks like Horohoro is out cold.
How pathetic!
Actually, I really think you should lie down too, Ren.
Let Ryu help you walk.
I'll carry Horohoro.
We need to get to the hospital right away.
I won't allow it.
How cruel of you to ignore me.
I need friends!
Friends strong enough in body and mind to defeat him!
1992, LONDON
Lyserg.
You'll never be
an excellent detective like your father the way you are.
Where on earth did you hide my birthday present?
If I told you, this exercise would be pointless.
Oh, darling, please don't be so unkind.
Lyserg is only six.
Nonsense!
The sooner a Shaman's training begins, the better.
I have a duty to pass down this art.
As the inheritor of the Diethel name,
a family revered for its Dowsing prowess!
In modern society, with people's hearts and minds so complex,
utterly meaningless murders have grown commonplace.
No matter how technology advances,
it will never be able to probe the darkest depths of the human heart.
Which is precisely why we must pass
our abilities down to the next generation.
Do as your mother tells you
and practice your skills properly, Lyserg.
Okay!
My father, Liam Diethel,
was the world's greatest detective,
a brilliant Dowser,
and my hero.
There was nothing my father couldn't find.
More than anything else, I wanted to be like him.
And so I worked and studied tirelessly
until finally,
his abilities were mine too.
Congratulations, Lyserg.
From this day forth, you shall be a magnificent Dowser.
Brimming with joy, I returned home only to be greeted by the sight of…
Who are you?
What have you done to my mother and father?
What a fool.
If he'd only shut up and sworn to use his powers to aid me,
they wouldn't have had to die.
Wait!
How petty.
That's right.
I'm still weak!
If I can go to Patch Village,
I will surely meet strong allies there!
You will merely serve as my guide until we get there,
but allow me to put you to the test.
Homing Pendulum!
Lyserg, was it?
I thought I told you I'd show no mercy if you got in our way.
So I won't fight you.
I'll finish this in one blow!
There's no way Amidamaru couldn't see through something like that.
MORPHEA
Wow!
I'd expect no less from you, Yoh!
Are you all right, Horohoro?
My Homing Pendulum…
So easily?
Maybe…
Just maybe, he could…
I'm delighted!
I thought I'd only need you to take me to Patch Village.
But to think that I would encounter someone so strong…
It's not over, though.
If I don't defeat all of you,
I can't be your ally.
Now I'm going to get serious.
Hey! He's not done yet?
Looks like he's taken a real liking to you, Yoh.
I don't care.
It will be the same every time.
I'm not interested in teaming up with someone who'd hurt my friends.
It'll be the same?
My father gave me this crystal pendulum.
Don't you dare equate it with that glass imitation I was using!
What the…
This is worlds apart from the last one!
Of course it is!
Crystals are more conducive to spiritual power
than any other material!
This is a technique I came up with after exhaustive research!
The wire…
It's…
a giant clock tower?
Big Ben.
A very dear place to me, where I first received this pendulum.
Now, using the entirety of its wire,
I will attack all of you at once.
Do you still intend not to fight?
No, I don't.
Hao?
Amida-Style
Halo Blade!
How?
I should be the strongest one here!
I can't lose!
It's because you're weak.
You're probably the weakest of all of us, actually.
Ren and Horohoro must have just gotten a little too reckless.
What did you say?
My Dowsing is perfect!
Then why did you lose?
Lyserg.
Who exactly are you fighting?
I can see perfectly well that you have real ability.
But regardless of how strong your Over Soul is,
your mind lets you down and leaves you weak.
There's another enemy in your mind.
And I'm sure you lost to them.
And how does that concern you?
Do you mean that's why you weren't interested in fighting?
It's none of my business what your story is.
But you used that to justify using my friends.
This makes us even for your selfishness.
If you want to tell us your story, we'll listen to it at the hospital.
Horo!
I didn't realize…
you had such a hard life!
My anger seems so stupid compared to that!
That's all right. I don't mind.
I was a nuisance to all of you.
What?
I only realized when Yoh pointed it out.
Thinking of nothing but revenge made me selfish.
I lost sight of what was around me.
That's why I lost.
I'm not good enough to be your friend.
Please use this to repair the weapons I broke.
Hey! Lyserg!
Yoh
beat me hands down.
I must defeat Hao with my own two hands.
I can't rely on others.
What's most important is becoming stronger myself.
You work hard to achieve your dreams too, okay?
Are you back to your selfish ways already?
Ren!
Yoh said he would let you join us.
But I can't drag you lot into my own quest for revenge.
Even if we
had a score to settle with Hao too?
I can't believe there are others pursuing him too.
Just finding out his name was an ordeal.
How exactly…
It's a long story.
At any rate, we have the fact that we're after Hao in common.
So there's nothing to worry about.
Just throw yourself into doing everything together with us.
Including sleeping. Yes?
Thanks…
But there's one thing that bothers me.
Why did looking at Yoh just once
make Hao think that he's someone special?
Don't you think it's odd?
Anyone who saw the final qualifying round
would see that Ren is just as strong.
When Hao killed my father eight years ago,
he might have just been looking to recruit servants.
So it would only be natural if Ren was also "someone special."
Now that you mention it, yes.
Couldn't it simply be that he took a shine to Yoh?
Does that ring any bells?
No. I don't know.
Well, who cares then?
No matter how much we rack our brains now,
we won't get an answer.
You can say that again.
Anyway, where is the all-important Yoh?
Knowing him, he's probably napping somewhere.
Honestly!
Our leader's a lost cause!
I know I saw it.
His face in Yoh's…
Is there some kind of special link between those two?
I hope I'm just overthinking it.
Oh, Amidamaru. Where is everyone?
It seems they went out to eat with Master Lyserg a short while ago.
Isn't it nice?
They all appear to understand one another now.
Well, I thought everyone would if they just talked!
Everyone has a reason for their actions.
My belief that there's no bad person who can see spirits
still hasn't changed.
Nevertheless, I was shocked by Master Lyserg's tale.
Do you mean to say
that even this Hao is not a wicked person?
Not even I could forgive what Hao did.
But even he must have some kind of reason.
What's wicked must be that reason.
I see. Very well.
Now pull back.
No one must notice you.
No, that's not a cause for concern.
He won't lay a finger on Yoh for the time being.
Yes. All right, good work,
Mikihisa.
So he's finally made his move.
Come with me, Anna.
It seems the time has come at last to inform you too of our whole story.
This is the sole reason I asked you to make the journey to Izumo.
As a future successor of the Asakura Family, you must know this.
You must know the entire fate that awaits us, Asakuras.
You must know the entire 1,000-year history of the Asakuras.
And you must know the Asakuras' true objective.
Now is the time to break the seal.
The seal of the door to the place
in which is enshrined
both our first ancestor and final enemy,
the Great Onmyoji, Hao Asakura. This is the Hao-Do!
HAO-DO
