After a quick recap of past events from Manta, the question still is who will become Shaman King…

Manta and Faust head out to buy groceries and then sit on a park bench eating ice cream. Faust notices a woman who looks like Miss Eliza from afar. The woman falls over, and Faust goes over to her rescue. The woman is a participant in the Shaman Fight. Soon her concerned family joins her and they receive notice that they have a match tomorrow. Manta is concerned that Maiya won’t be able to fight.

At dinner, the boys discuss the family of Shamans, who are probably Team Enceous. They fight by pouring Furyoku into each other.

Next morning, Manta oversleeps and then frantically motors to the fight between Team Enceous and Team LCD. Maiya pours her Furyoku into her husband and LCD is defeated. After the match, Maiya collapses, sending Manta into a fit of worry. Faust agrees that if she keeps it up, she most likely will die, but she does this of her own Free Will…to become the Shaman King.

Soon, Yoh and the boys receive their next match: with Team Enceous. Manta is concerned, but it has already been decided that they must fight. Faust requests that they let him fight alone. That night, Manta has another nightmare of Faust, but Yoh tries to calm him down, explaining that Faust isn’t the same person he was before.

Next morning, Yoh and the boys are up against Team Encaeous. Mephisto E takes out Athos’s OverSoul pretty easily. Maiya powers up again and calls Goddess of the Earth to OverSoul. Faust calls for him to stop for the sake of his family. Athos’s new OverSoul is huge. Yoh senses it’s already too much and soon, it fades away before touching Faust. The parents collapse in front of their daughter, Meloce. Faust offers his medical treatment, first to her parents and then to cure Meloce of her deadly disease.

As Manta and Faust walk home from the grocery store again, Manta apologizes to him with renewed faith that Faust will be able to cure Meloce.
