Shaman King Volume 7 Clash At The Mata Cemetery

Art and Written by Hiroyuki Takei
Chapter 54  to 62
Price $5.96

It’s about time for the last match of first round of the Shaman king Tournament, winner take all. Yoh has 1 win and 1 lose and Ren has only 1 win, after this match Ren won’t have anyone else to fight, so let’s get into the review.

Right off the bat we meet Ren Father (Yuan) the leader of the Tao Clan talking to Jun. we learn about why he wants Ren to fight in this Tournaments and it’s to restore his clan rightful place in China. During the talk Yuan is petting a panda and killed it in front of Jun (I really enjoy that). Ren’s Father Told Jun they need the power of the Great Spirit and they will do anything to get it. He tells Jun to use his army of zombie to make sure Ren wins and these new zombies are stronger than Bailong.

Yuan is a very large man and his overall design is pretty cool, I just hope he is as strong as he seems.The next few chapters are just build up, and what is everyone thinking about before this last fight. I am surprise to see Manta at this fight with Yoh after what happen with Foust. Ren appears on his Horse and Cape looking like a boss. Yoh and Ren have change a lot from there last fight, Ren has gotten taller and Yoh has increased his mana. Then the Fight begins Ren starts off the Fight using his over soul that is pretty much a ball of armor around his spear.  Yoh block the first few attacks. Ren change his over soul by putting more mana into his spear. The over soul has change from a ball of armor into Bason upper body. So Yoh has to dodge more than a Blade, he has to dodge the arms too.

This is where Silva examples how the shaman fight really works. Each shaman has a pool of mana for this example I am using 100. To use an over soul they most use a bit of the mana. So let’s say to use an over soul they must use 20 of their mana to create an over soul so there pool of mana is now 80 (100- 20 = 80). Once an over soul is broken. They must use more mana to make a new over soul, so another 20 (80- 20 = 60) until they are completely out of mana. They also talk about GP I believe this is Ghost Power so this would be Amidamaru and Bason.

As the fight goes on Yoh and Ren each break each other’s over soul and Yoh just being Yoh has been pushing Ren, until Ren get angry enough to use  Bason Horse spirit and I did not know that shaman could use more than one spirit at a time, so we could see Yoh get more ghost just like Silva. Ren put everything he has into this attack. This is where the Volume ends with Ren going all over at Yoh.

We also see every shaman that won the first round like Foust and Horohoro and many more watching this match, waiting to see how it ends. Once it ends the Cheif will be talking to everyone that made it so far.
