< sign: Asakura Yoh >
< Yoh sleeping >
Manta: Yoh does not regain his consciousness yet.

Manta: He is already like this for three days. The wound on his shoulder is that bad?
Amidamaru: No, sir. It's just that the level of connection is too much of a burden for him. < burning > If only I have more power…
Manta: You are scary, Amidamaru. That's is not a problem, the real problem is that guy Ren. Who is he? Why does he want to defeat Yoh? Because of Shaman King Stuff?
Manta < thinking >: Please answer me, Yoh.

< description 1989 Isumo, Sunpei mountain >
< description Yoh, 4 years old >
Yoh: HMMMM!!!

Yohmei: What are you doing!! Yoh, you have trained for four years already, yet you can't even summon the earth spirit.
Yoh < sarcasm >: Grandpa, does normal people do this? Why do I have to learn such ting?
Yohmei: If you start by thinking you cannot do it…

< calling a lot of small spirits >
Yohmei: … then you cannot do it!!
Yoh: Arh! Mini Devil!
< Mini Devils hit Yoh >
Yohmei: Secret Onmyochi move, from a representative of Japan "God's feast." This is a move that summons holy earth spirits into leaves or papers and control them like an army.

Yohmei: They are really useful, from housework to assassin. In Japan, a lot of people use this for assassination duty. Not only this, if you become a great shaman, you can use your knowledge to benefit mankind in many ways.
< description: Onmyochi Asakura Yohmei >
Yohmei: For example, you can be Onmyochi like me. Using your fortune telling skill to make money from politicians and millionaires.
< description: Itako Asakura Kino >
Yohmei: Or you can be an Itako like your grandma in Osorei mountain in Aomori. You can send any spirits into the afterlife, or call any spirit back into this world.
< description: Miko Asakura Keiko >
Yohmei: Or you want to be a Miko in the local shrine like your mom. You can receive and send messages to God so that you can protect villagers from any disaster.
< description: Shugensha Asakura Mikihisa(no occupation) >
Yohmei: If you like mountain climbing like your dad, you can be a shugensha who can call any god for help.
Yohmei: You see how great a shaman can be? If you are one of shaman's family, you must keep practicing God's feast.

Yoh: No way.
Yohmei: What!?
Yoh: Who care about Shaman today? Normal people can't even see spirits.
Yohmei: So… what do you want to be?
Yoh: I just want to live comfortably, and listen to my favorite song.

< The sound of Yohmei bonking Yoh's head >
Yohmei: That's why you can't do anything but seeing ghosts.
Yoh: What do you expect, Grandpa?
Yohmei: This is shameful.
Yoh: I just don't want to be a Shaman.
Yohmei: Not you. The world today is.
Yoh: The world today?
Yohmei: Now everyone forgets about spirituality.

Yoh: ?
Yohmei: Come here, Yoh.
Yoh: What is it?
< Both see civilization >
Yohmei: Now town extension is even here. More people need more space, That is normal. I don't want to accuse human of destroying nature.

Yohmei: But we human can't forget about the ecosystem either.
Yoh: Ecosystem?
Yohmei: If you destroy forest, there will be less tree and then less air. If you don't protect soil, there will be more flood. Every thing in this world connects like a big circle. If we continue our way, nobody will know what will happen to the earth. No matter how advance our technology is, we can't control everything. Human needs guidance.
Yoh: What is it then?

Yohmei: The spirit that knows all… King of all souls…
Yoh: King of all souls.
Yohmei: His name and appearance was described by ancient people. Only a few has met him, but those people inherit his will to keep the balance of the world. They will guide people from being consumed by their own greed.
Yoh: So, who really meet him, grandpa?
Yohmei: The person who possesses all shaman skills and can connect with the king of spirits.

Yohmei: That is Shaman King, savior of mankind.

Yohmei: Ah, why I am babbling about this… it's late. Let's go home.
Yoh: C.. C.. C..
Yohmei: What happens? Is it too complicate?
Yoh: Cool! Do you think I can be a Shaman?
Yohmei: Ha, ha, ha. Just thinking can't make you one. Moreover, how come an idle like you getting so psyched?
Yoh: OH!

Yoh: If I befriend with the know-all spirits, I can live comfortably for the rest of my life!! Grandpa, please train me to be a shaman. I will train hard.
Yohmei: …!! You will never be a shaman! < bonking >

< Yoh wakes up >
Yoh: Grandpa, don't bonk me!!
Manta: Yoh.
Amidamaru: Lord Yoh, you wake up!
Yoh: So, what Ren talked about is Shaman King.
Manta/Amidamaru: What?

Yoh: I train to become Shaman King. How can I forget that?
Manta: That's shocking.
Amidamaru: I don't understand what you say, but I feel so good. It's like I reborn again.
Manta: Wait, what do you talk about Shaman King?
???: You all are noisy. I heard that you are hurt, so I come to visit. Seems like you are fine to me.

Manta: Who are you? I think you have a wrong person, missie.
Yoh: Watch out, Manta!
< Manta get slapped >
???: Watch your mouth, shortie. I am Anna the spiritualist.*(1) I am also Yoh's fiancée.

Translation Note:

*(1) spiritualist is the context means someone who can connect to the death in the afterworld. Sort of like a medium in a séance.
