Shaman King Volume 4 The Over Soul

Art and Written by Hiroyuki Takei
Chapter 27 to 35
Price $7.49

Shaman King Volume 4 was pretty funny with an interesting fight. So the volume start off with a tribe of patch, they are the people that run this shaman king tournament. This is where we meet the chieftain and Silva. Silva design is cool and mostly with his Over soul. This volume covers the qualification of the shamans, so pretty much who will be fight in this shaman king tournament.

Silva greets Yoh and tells him that he is apart of shaman fight selection committee and if he wants to take part in the fight, Yoh  just has to hit him within 10 minutes.  Yoh integration with Amibamaru and tries to hit Silva but fails, Yoh tries different things. All of what Yoh tries to do Against Silva does not work.

Silva shows off all 5 of his Over Souls. Silva Uses 5 animal spirits, an eagle, a turtle, a snake, a wolf and a Buffalo. Each of the spirit has a very cartoony design. He also drop a lot of hints during the fight of what Yoh has to do, the biggest one is "he is testing the shaman not his spirit".

Yoh finally learns Over Soul, by putting Amibamaru spirit into his sword Harusame. Yoh’s Over Soul looks bad ass with a ball of energy around his arm and sword. At this point of the fight there is only a few minutes left and Silva puts all of his Spirits together to make a totem pole gun. Yoh and Silva put all of their energy into one attack and Yoh won, he hit Silva.

Silva tells Yoh how the tournament's first round will work. Yoh will have to win 2 out of 3 matches to move on. we also see Ren killed his shaman fight  selection committee member. This was interesting, because he can still be in the shaman king tournament, so it looks like Yoh or another character could die in a fight.
The last few Chapters are about Yoh’s first fight with Horohoro, a snowboarder with a Koropokkur as a spirit. Horohoro is a very goofy character. We find out about his past and why he wants to be shaman king, Yoh’s Reacts to this is funny. As the fight goes on, we see Horohoro can use ice from his snowboard, and the volumes end in the middle of the fight.
