Synopsis:
|
The Asakura's and
the Tao's have a meeting to discuss what is happening with the rise
of Hao. Yoh's parents prepare to give the Tao's their super secret
sauce, errrr, special magic moves so that Ren can be powerful enough
to fight alongside Yoh as an equal. Mr Tao is an ass and challenges
Mr Asakura to prove himself. Mr A says “bring it” and the fight
begins.
Yoh admits to his
friends that Hao is so powerful that it is impossible for any shaman
to overcome him. Yoh is not daunted and won't let his friends
despair. Ren is out walking with his team when Mr A attacks them. Ren
is his typical arrogant self and Mr A has to teach him some manners.
They end up having a barbeque together. Yoh sure didn't fall far from
the proverbial tree. Mr A reveals that everything is up to the kids
because the adults have reached their limits and only the kids can
still “grow”.
Hao lets his
followers know that he intends a great cleansing once he becomes
Shaman King, a global cleansing.
Two Patch
officiants show up with a defeated Shaman, who is now Hao's minion
and while not directly attacking Mr A (who it turns out is a member
in the Shaman fight), sic the defeated shaman on him to delay him so
he can't participate in his fight, thus automatically losing it.
Another defeated shaman group also attack Yoh and Anna.
Team Ren is wiped
out and their will broken with knowledge of their own low mana
scores. Yoh shows up just as they're about to be killed and the
volume ends.

My
Thoughts:
|
Lots and lots and lots of talking. The few bits of fighting were so
buried between exposition that it didn't engage me at all.
BLAH.
