worlds - they can communicate with the various spirits that inhabit the world, and can draw on their powers and knowledge,
manifesting them in the physical world.

every five hundred years, for the champion of the tournament will be the saviour of the world; the Shaman King and gets to

version), Horo Horo, Ryu (Bokotou no Ryu or Ryu of the Wooden Sword), Kyoyama Anna; his fiancee and his Guardian
Spirit; the legendary samurai, Amidamaru.
