The fight against Faust continues. As the doctor harasses Manta, Yoh loses his calm and ends up in a disadvantageous position. Danger only increases when Faust summons the spirit of his late wife, Eliza.

When Tokageroh kidnaps Manta and threatens to kill him with the Harusame, Amidamaru has to choose between the safety of his friends and the sword he values so much.

The group finally makes it to Patch Village, but there's another challenge they have to face before they are allowed to enter. When they realize it's an illusion and everyone passes, Silva appears and takes Yoh to the village. For the next round of the tournament, Yoh's group divides into groups of three.

Yoh gives shelter to a traveler called HoroHoro, only to have Anna worry that he might be a Shaman trying to eliminate opponents before the start of the Shaman Fight.

Ryu of the Wooden Sword believes that he'll never be able to become a Shaman. Down and unhappy, he is possessed by the spirit of Tokageroh, a bandit from 600 years ago who wants to get revenge on Amidamaru.

Yoh's first opponent in the Shaman Fight is HoroHoro, and things get awkward between them both when HoroHoro's younger sister and Anna seem to forget that "opponent" and "friend" are not antonyms.

Guided by Chocolove's information, the group reaches the house of Lilirara, a descendant from the warriors of the Seminoa tribe, who fought on the last Shaman Fight and know where the Patch Village is.

Led by Anna, Yoh and the others come into contact with the source of Hao's power.

Under the eyes of Marco, Lyserg and Hao, Yoh and the others face the Flower Team a second time to test their new strength.

Yoh wants the spirit of Amidamaru, the devil samurai, to join him as his Main Spirit. Amidamaru is waiting for someone, though, and can't leave the cemetery. Yoh tries to find out who the samurai is waiting for, while Ryu of the Wooden Sword searches for revenge.

Yoh is injured in the fight with Ren, but there is no time to rest: to defeat his challenger, he must learn to unify his will with Amidamaru's, and reach the one-hundred percent Hyoi Gattai.

Yoh's second opponent is an eerie doctor called Faust VIII, who Silva believes to be an extremely dangerous man. This is proven to be true when the doctor kidnaps Manta.

Ren's conflicts and doubts about his way of life and his role on the Tao family are brought into arena when he and Yoh start the third fight.

Yoh's tranquility of mind breaks Ren's resolve, and their fight comes to a draw. Realizing that his ways were wrong, Ren decides to fight his uncle, the source of all his hatred. It all goes downhill, though, when he and June are captured.

Yoh, Manta, HoroHoro and Ryu of the Wooden Sword reach the Tao family's main house. On their way to rescue Ren and June, they are forced to fight the five Kyonshii who are known as the Five Deities.

The group of Shamans finally meets Ren's uncle, En Tao. Nonetheless, not even their best techniques seem to harm the enormous man; to defeat him, they need to figure out the secret behind his invulnerability.

Ryu of the Wooden Sword meets a Shaman called Lyserg, who is interested on finding powerful allies. His methods of testing his potential companions, however, aren't the most orthodox, and things get dangerous for the quartet when he puts his Dowsing technique into use.

Lyserg tells Yoh, Ryu, Ren and HoroHoro his story, not knowing that he is being chased by the Shamans he has hurt on his search for powerful allies.

Lyserg has been bitten by Boris, and the others need to understand the mystery behind the vampire's technique to defeat him - all this while the X-Laws try to break into the church to destroy them all.

When Ren and HoroHoro’s fears become weapons against them because of their next opponent’s power of illusions, it’s up to Chocolove to win over his own darkness and save his partners.

Yoh is challenged to a fight by Ren Tao, an arrogant Shaman who believes Spirits are only tools.

After witnessing Yoh's fight against Pai-Long, Ryu of the Wooden Sword decides that he wants to become a Shaman too. Meanwhile, Gei Yin, another Shaman under the Tao family, arrives from China to have a go against Yoh.

After breaking Amidamaru's sword, Ryu becomes even more depressed, and Yoh looks for a solution. Meanwhile, the star that signals the beginning of the Shaman Fight descends from the sky.

Sneaking away from Yoh's house to rescue Ren, Yoh, Manta and HoroHoro meet a duo of Shaman singers, whose technique sends spirits to the other world.

Lyserg feels down after a run-in with Hao, whose powers can stop even a powerful blizzard. Trying to cheer him up, Ryu tells him how he became a Shaman. Meanwhile, Anna and Manta leave to a mysterious place called the Mount Terror.
