Now that Lyserg is gone, the Shamans wonder who they will find Patch Village now. Yoh suggests they explore the town of Yonta-Fe. While there, a boy jumps out at them and asks if they will always be so friendly towards each other. They walk right past him, which upsets the boy greatly. Ren threatens the boy and demands that if he has something to say to them, that he better make it quick. The boy tells them that he is looking for companions. The boy recommends that they find themselves a bigger group if they want to survive. The biggest are with Hao or the X-Laws. He then introduces himself as Chocolove and in his own way asks to join up with them. The boy is big on practical jokes and picks Ren as his target… not wise. He then introduces his spirit Jaguar Mic.
After some negotiating and attempts to prove himself, we learn of his past. Chocolove’s master believed that only laughter will save everything. Force accomplishes nothing. Yoh asks why he joined the Shaman Fight? He answers because he wants to become the world’s greatest comedian and spread laughter throughout the world. Suddenly Zen-ryu show up and attack, but they are no match for Ren until they bring out their new Oversoul, Saboten, which is an area attack that succeeds in pissing Ren off to the point where he’s about to take them out. Chocolove Oversouls and steps in. His master gave him the Black Jaguar which enhances his senses. He notices something between Zen-ryu and attacks the talisman. Another one of Hao’s men appears - Peyote. Peyote was using Zen-ryu’s bodies as an Oversoul. They aren’t conscious of their actions. Peyote introduces the group to his spirits, Carlos and Joe, both are famous Mexican mariachi (street musicians). They attack Chocolove, who is able to outmaneuver the attack and makes his way to Peyote. Unfortunately, Peyote has another spirit in his pocket, Antonio, who was their leader. His other spirits include Jose, Pancho, Savada, and Miguel. They are now Caravella (skeleton) dolls, or in other words, Peyote is a shaman who uses bones as a medium for his Oversoul.
Yoh is not taking all this lightly, especially with Peyote’s complete disrespect of Zen and Ryu’s lives. Chocolove is in the dead middle of the firepower, but he refuses to fight back. He Oversouls with all his furyoku and does Ayers Rock (the largest rock in the world, located in Australia aka ‘Earth’s Navel.’) Chocolove grows really big and creates a kangaroo. Peyote’s spirits start laughing hysterically at Chocolove’s wind of laughter which releases spirits haunted by evil. Ryu and Horo Horo then take out Peyote.
Later, Yoh invites Chocolove to join the group. Meanwhile, Lyserg listens to the X-Laws jargon. He wants Lyserg to meet their leader.
Afterwards, Chocolove tries to make everyone laugh with his stupid jokes. Before Horo Horo and Ryu kill him, though, he informs them that a person in this town named Lilirara knows where Patch Village is located.
At the airport, Faust grabs Manta. He drinks tea with Anna, all the while holding a terrified Manta on his lap. Turns out that he cannot find any information on Patch Village, which means that he will never see Eliza again. Anna asks if he would like to be reunited with her… she can do it if he fights for Yoh.
Well, after this ep, I can't say I'm a huge fan of Chocolove, but the Faust-ally dynamic is kind of interesting.
