Shaman King Episode 51: Shaman Hunt






 

Silva observes all the evil spirits about. A mysterious person named Fudou-sama comments that this is just a warm up before they seal Amidamaru. Silva overhears and goes to investigate, but Fudou casts Kanashibari to paralyze him. Team Fudou Myouou then disappears. Mikihisa appears and breaks the spell. He says the mystery people aren’t bad people. They’re just enthusiastic about their work, which is exterminating bad spirits.

Soon, Fudou Myouou has captured Lily Five in attempt to find Yoh. They call forth their spirits Sentadouji and Kongaradouji to create a circle of Indian Buddhist spirits around Lily Five. After a brief spell, they seal all of Lily Five’s spirits. The long haired girl of Fudou Myouou explains that thanks to Fudou’s powers, they have all been freed from their evil spirits.

Anna is having Yoh practice “Amidamaru in Harusame in Futunomitama no Turugi”. He’s tired, but Anna is not taking his excuses. Manta asks if it’s because Amidamaru has become a Seirei and is eating up Yoh’s furyoku. Their fight has been postponed three times now. Silva explains that many of the shaman participants are going home. Some have disappeared. Silva originally thought it was because of Dairedo, but the shaman disappearances haven’t stopped since.

Suddenly, they hear Ryu call out for Tokageru, who’s trapped in a mysterious light and is ascending happily. He disappears in a cloud of smoke. Ryu looks down to find his sword has been sealed and a voice explains that they have rid him of his evil spirit. Anna explains that the Sanskrit characters for “Fudou Myouou” mean “Karma.” The Fudou Myouou punish sins.

Amidamaru remembers that Fudou once declared to show everyone his true nature. Meanwhile, Lily Five sneak into town and Manta spots them. Amidamaru decides to go out investigating. He thinks he feels Mosuke’s presence. He then overhears two men talking about his past and how a group of three from Japan are trying to seal evil spirits.

Meanwhile, Lily Five shows Tamao their sealed spirits. They use Fudou Myouou Reibaku Hou to draw characters over their mediums. Fudou Myouou decides to possess Manta to convince Yoh that he is being possessed by an evil spirit. Manta, now possessed with a bounded Mosuke’s spirit, goes nuts with a sledge hammer trying to destroy Tamao’s spirits.

Fudou appears and Yoh demands he release Manta. Mikihisa appears and explains that Fudou thinks that all spirits that possess people are evil. To him the Shaman Fight is a gathering of evil spirits. Yoh defends Amidamaru, claiming that he’s not evil. Fudou then performs Phantom Myouou, to create a bird of fire that serves her. We then learn that Amidamaru escaped from his seal at Fumizuka a while back, and she has come to take him back.

Faust calls forth Mephisto E, but with the power of Buddha, Fudou Myouou seals Eliza. Yoh has had enough of their assumptions and decides to fight. Unfortunately, Amidamaru is buying into the accusation that he is evil and deserves to be bound. He refuses to OverSoul. Yoh runs up to him and hugs him, and declares that Amidamaru is not an evil spirit, but his friend. The two have a mutually beneficial relationship where Yoh provides his body and Amidamaru provides his strength. Amidamaru then explains that he was bound once before by a man with the power of Fudou Myouou.

Fudou doesn’t buy it and calls forth Manta. Manta is consciously aware of what his body is doing and pleads with a bound Mosuke to use his body to help Yoh and Amidamaru. He is willing to sacrifice his body to save Yoh and Amidamaru. Soon, Yoh is able to again ask Amidamaru for strength. He OverSouls and to prove he isn’t possessed, stops before he kills Fudou..
