Yohmei shows Anna Chou Senji Ryakettsu, the magical tome containing the complete record of all the Onmyou teachings which Hao learned to gain his powers. If Yoh was to read it, he would at least become as strong as Yoh was a thousand years ago. He then asks Anna to send it Yoh. Of course, there is a small problem with this… if this is a record of everything relating to Hao, that would mean that his shikigamis (spirit familiars of Onmyou masters) are also sealed in there. Tamao breaks the seal by accident and two shikigamis, Zenki and Kouki, are released from the book. They look kind of like whales with huge teath. Zenki is maroon with one eye centered in a star on his face and his two fangs point upwards. Kouki is teal, with fangs pointing downward and five eyes at the points of the star on his face. Tamao and Manta cringe with fear.

Yohmei sends his little blue (water?) spirits after Zenki, but can’t break the shield Zenki set up. While he fights, Anna reads from Hao’s manual. She then jumps in the air and flings her prayer beads at them, captures them, and utters Gouma Choubuku. The monsters disappear into a talisman on the floor. Damn, Anna is really powerful!

Hao gets the vibe back in America that his shikigamis were defeated. He’s kind of impressed that there’s someone in the Asakura family with that kind of power.

Meanwhile, the Shamans are lazily riding along on a farmer’s truck filled with hay, gathering their thoughts and thinking back to the X-Laws. Sharon and the girls are lost and bickering as usual. Sharon gets out of the SUV to examine if they can cross the bridge in front of them and a bad ass chic on a motorcycle named Jilda plows into her and steals her Enra Enra (her spirit). Turns out that the two have known each other a long time and have been rivals since birth, and she isn’t going to lose to Sharon during the Shaman Fight. To rub it in, she calls Enra Enra to attack Sharon. After a threat of being fried, Enra Enra complies and attacks. Millie gets pissed and fights back, so Jilda calls forth her own spirit, Kanae, which takes out the tires of the SUV.

Meanwhile, Yoh and the boys notice a geyser ahead and Yoh is ready to relax in the hot springs that must be nearby. They enter a Japan-like town with steamed buns and hot springs and everything. Ren is insulted that America has so deliberately made fun of their country, but Yoh isn’t ready to worry about the details. He is just ready to relax. During the bath, they finally discuss the X-Laws and Yoh’s relation to Hao. Yoh is calm about the inquiry, and reassures Lyserg in particular that if Hao gets in his way, he’ll face him. He’s not one to worry about things, though.

Horo Horo and Ryu take each other on in a game of ping pong while Yoh relaxes in a vibrating chair. Only Lyserg isn’t carefree and enjoying himself. Later, he joins Ryu in the hot springs and asks if he’ll come to the temple on the other side of the forest with him. Ryu looks down to see a girl’s reflection and shadows watching nearby. He agrees but tells him there’s no rush and starts counting down from 100. The heat is too much for Jilda and she changes back to her form and wonders off. On to the next victim… Yoh.

Anna appears by Yoh’s window. She asks him to come to her. He falls back asleep. She gets pissed and storms in declaring that she’s his fiancée - he should embrace her or chase her if she runs away. He tells her he’s too scared to do those things. Amidamaru then threatens her with a sword and demands that she show her true form because there is no way the real Anna could possibly be there. Yoh tells him to let her go and then starts crying - he has finally beat Anna for the first time - ever! Amidamaru starts crying as well. (this has got to be one of the best scenes in Shaman King thus far :) )

Jilda then tries to break into Horo Horo’s room, but Kororo freezes her before she can enter. As she & her spirit recover, Ren sneaks up from behind and threatens them. They run off. Finally, they try one more time with Lyserg posing as one of the X-Laws. The spirit runs off and Lyserg follows him to the temple. Morphin tries to warn him, but Jilda pulls out her gun and threatens him. Suddenly Sharon appears and saves Lyserg.
