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!
Yoh and Ren have both made it to the third round of the Shaman Fight preliminaries, where they'll be facing each other...and their Over Souls are stronger than ever. At the end of a long, hard-fought battle, Ren expends the last of his mana to defeat Yoh for good...but Yoh stands tall, prepared to weather the storm. Who will win? Who will go on to compete in the Shaman Fight proper?
