Yoh Asakura is a shaman - one of the gifted few who, thanks to training or natural talent, can channel spirits that most people can't even see. With the help of his fiancee, Anna, Yoh is in training for the ultimate shaman sports event: the Shaman Fight, the once-every-500-years tournament to see who can shape humanity's future and become the Shaman King. But unfortunately for Yoh, every shaman in the world is competing for the same prize...

The Golem runs out of energy, so Dr Munzer wants to command it to self-destruct, but Anna wants to keep the Golem as a weapon against Hao. Then Little Opacho shows up, bearing a message that Yoh must return to the Shaman Fight, or Hao will destroy both the Golem and the kids!
