Shaman King

Synopsis

In Tokyo, a competition called the Shaman Fight occurs once every five hundred years. This event involves shamans—those who can control spirits—and the winner becomes the Shaman King. That ruler gains the ability to communicate with and command the Great Spirit, allowing them to reshape the world as they desire. One evening, Manta Oyamada is walking home late when he encounters his easygoing classmate, You Asakura. You invites Manta to join a group of friends for stargazing. To Manta's astonishment, these "friends" are actually spirits from a nearby cemetery. Despite the shock, Manta's unique talent for seeing these spirits endears him to You. After learning that Manta was harassed by a local gang, You plans to get revenge with the help of Amidamaru, a samurai spirit whose grave was damaged by the gang's leader. As Manta explores the spirit world further, he discovers the ongoing Shaman Fight and his new friend You's goal of becoming the victor in this battle.
