< Shaman King Chapter 21: Harusame (Spring Rain) >

Tokageroh: He he he. What do you think, Amidamaru? I have a body, a hostage, and Harusame.

Tokageroh: As long as I possess these three things, you cannot do anything. This is my revenge. Come on, you have not suffered enough for your crime.
Amidamaru: You coward. Isn't there a way to pull him off that body?

Anna: No. It is not easy to get rid of the ghost. You need to defeat the possessed first.
Amidamaru: Defeat?
Anna: Even professional exorcism needs to push the ghost into the dead end. In other word, you have to beat him by hurting the host body, ignoring hostage, or destroying Harusame.

Anna: If you don't choose any of those, you cannot defeat him.
Tokageroh: He he he. That's right. What will it be, Amidamaru?
Amidamaru< thinking >: Of course, I have the answer. All this mess is caused by me. I will handle this without outside interference. Moreover, life is more important than object. But, this Harusame

< 600 years ago >
Thief1: I will come back!
Theif: Awh!!
< description: Amidamaru 11 years old >
Amidamaru: Don't ever come to my field again, or else I will kill you all!
< back home >
Mosuke: What! You break my sword again?
< description: Mosuke 15 years old >

Amidamaru: You sword is so easy to break. Why don't you make a good sword?
Mosuke: It's not that easy. Good sword requires good iron. Even I am a son of sword smith, I can't make my own iron. If you want a good sword, why don't you just steal or take it from those corpses on the hill?
Amidamaru: Mosuke.
Mosuke: Ok, ok, don't look at me like that. I know you don't want to do it. My parent were also killed by those thieves, remember? I know how you feel.

Mosuke: I also don't want to be another thief.
Amidamaru: Sorry I remind you about those sad things.
Mosuke: It's OK. Just go to bed. Tomorrow I will make you a good sword. If I can't make one, my old man will laugh at me in heaven.
Amidamaru: Mosuke…
< the next day >
Amidamaru: Great!

Amidamaru: Not even a single scratch when I use. This is my new sword? This is great. So you find good iron?
Mosuke: Um.
Amidamaru: With this sword, we don't have to be afraid of those thieves anymore. Thanks, Mosuke!
Mosuke: Ha ha.
< that night >
Mosuke: Hey Amidamaru.
Amidamaru: Hm?
Mosuke: You are so good. You can defeat all those thieves all the time
Amidamaru: Why praise me all of the sudden? You give me creep.

Mosuke: Nothing. I just want you to be No.1 swordman in Japan so I can be proud that No. 1 swordman uses my sword.
Amidamaru: You are weird today. That sword is really great, but… or… the good iron that you mentioned is!?
Mosuke: Yeah. It cant' be helped. Where can I get money to buy iron?
Amidamaru: Why did you do that? That knife is the only remainder of your dad.

Mosuke: It's OK. It just transforms from knife into sword. Just take good care of it. I believe that you will use it to protect everyone here.

Amidamaru: I get it, Mosuke. I will be a great swordman with your sword Why does it rain in Spring?*(1)
< back to present >
Amidamaru< thinking >: Hence, we name the sword Harusame (Spring rain). This sword … this sword… Harusame
Tokageroh: What are you waiting for? Come on! You look so painful… how fun! For you this sword is…

< Amidamaru in fighting stance >
Tokageroh: Eh?
Amidamaru: What did you say?

Tokageroh: Why do you put on fighting stance? You want me to chop this kid's head off?
Amidamaru: Go ahead. I can attack you first anyway.
Tokageroh: Attack what? This body? You can't do it! Pathetic like you who don't take anything from anyone even in those time. I don't know why I lose to a person like you.
Amidamaru: I am sorry, Lord Yoh. This should be my business.

Yoh: It's OK. Let's do it, to keep your friendship.
Tokageroh: ?
Yoh: Even 600 years has passed, he still has not realized your real skill.
Tokageroh: You Brat! Go ahead, if you can attack! Loser like you can't do it!
Amidamaru: You should have known the answer in the first place

Amidamaru: Buddha's Slash Wave!
Tokageroh: Impossible…

< Harusame is broken >
Manta: Harusame…
Tokageroh: How can it be?

Tokageroh: Harusame is not important for you?
Amidamaru: It is my important possession, but that is not what Mosuke had left for me. His heritage is a mind to help your friend even it means you have to sacrifice, like the way Mosuke uses his knife to create the sword for me!
