Shamans possess mysterious powers that allow them to commune with gods, spirits, and even the dead…and Manta Oyamada’s about to learn all about them, because his class just welcomed a new transfer student: Yoh Asakura, a boy from way off in Izumo…and a shaman in training!
Joco falls in battle against Redseb and Seyram, shamans who control a fearsome golem and two members of the shaman team "The Kabbalahers." As Joco breathes his last breath, he remembers what Yoh always says: "If they hit you, hit 'em back." The Kabbalahers stand in triumph, knowing they've avenged their father's death…but then Yoh shows up.
