Manta: (That’s right.)
Manta: (Yoh is my best friend.)
Manta: (I want to know more about Yoh.)
Manta: (So, I will go to Isumo!)
Yohmei: Hmm…
Yohmei: That’s why you’re coming back. I am very surprised. It’s just a year that you left to Tokyo.
Yohmei: But you come back to ask for training? It is not usual of you.
Yohmei: Isn’t that right, Yoh?
Yoh: Why is your head so shinny?
Yohmei: I use oil to shine it everyday.
Yohmei: Are you serious about this?
Yohmei: Even though you want to increase your shaman power, it’s not going to be a regular training.
Yoh: I know, but I have reasons to win this match.
Yohmei: I see.
Yohmei: Then, you have to die.
Yoh: O.k. Huh!?
Yohmei: Didn’t you hear me? The only way to increase your shaman power is to die!
Yoh: Wait a sec, Grandpa! What are you talking about? I have to die?
Yoh: You mean that I have to train so hard that I almost die?
Yohmei: No. I mean that you really have to die.
Yohmei: Everyone born with fix amount of shaman power. If you want to increase your power, you have to figuratively die.
Yoh: Figuratively die?
Yohmei: As I said, everyone born with fix amount of shaman power.
Yohmei: Just like the human’s senses, no matter how hard you try, you can’t increase their power.
Yoh: So, what is this has to do with dying?
Yohmei: If you die, you can fix your power.
Yohmei: It means that if you want to increase your power, you have to leave your physical body and train your soul.
Yoh: Leave physical body and train my soul?
Yohmei: Hey! Taxi!
Yohmei: Follow me. I want to see how serious you are about this.
Yohmei: I want to see if you’re ready to “die.”
Manta: Ahh!!
Manta: When I thought that I’m gonna go to see Yoh, I just left! My wallet is in my suitcase!
Manta: But I can’t go back there. And I don’t have key, so I can’t go home!
Ryu: Isn’t that Manta?
Manta: Ryu!?
Manta: Why does your hair grow so fast?
Ryu: I don’t even use any shampoo.
Manta: Go to U.S.?
Manta: To open Sushi Bar, but why?
Ryu: I’ve already graduated, so I want to do something.
Ryu: U.S. is a big country. So, I won’t have problem finding living place. I want to find the best place that still have spirit of the 70’s.
Ryu: And if I become famous, I will come back to see Ms. Anna. Aahhh.
Muscle Punch: Ryu-san, how can you leave us?
Ryu’s henchman: How can we live without you, Ryu-san?
Ryu: You guys already got job. With the economic like this, you’d better stick to your old place.
Manta: Old place?
Manta: I’m so jealous of you, Ryu-san. Unlike me, you have both dream and friends.
Ryu: Say it, Manta.
Ryu: What’s in your heart?
Ryu: I always be the guiding light to the lost one.
Yoh: Beach? Why are you taking me here?
Yohmei: This is Cave of Afterlife.
Yoh: Afterlife?
Yohmei: Afterlife is the place where the dead goes.
Yohmei: Isumo is one of the oldest lands in Japan. So, there’re a lot of myths.
Yohmei: This cave is one of the myths. From now, you’ll experience dead.
Yohmei: Look.
Yohmei: This is shaman cave also known as cave of afterlife.
Yoh: Cave of afterlife. It’s big and dark. I feel that it’s sucking me in.
Yohmei: In the past, they also use this place to perform funeral, and also it is a training place for shaman.
Yoh: Training place?
Yohmei: You have to go inside by yourself. Even the grown adult uses 7 days to find an exit.
Yoh: 7 days?
Yoh: I can do it. I just don’t eat.
Yohmei: Do you think that’s all you have to endure?
Yohmei: How do you think about living in the dark where you can’t see anything for a whole week? First, you will lose your sight, and later you will lose all your senses, but your soul.
Yoh: So, when you talked about dying you mean?
Yohmei: You will lose all of your physical senses and your soul is the only thing you have left.
Yohmei: You will not see or feel anything. However, a well-trained soul will not be hurt by that.
Yohmei: To be emotionally die is more torture than physically die. A lot of shamans have lost their life in this place.
Yohmei: So, do you still want to go in?
Yoh: Umm.. But I’ve already made up my mind.
Yoh: I will go.
Yohmei: Yoh!
Yoh: It’s hard, but I’ve already made up my mind
Yoh: ..that I will become Shaman King.
Yohmei: Then, just go.
Yohmei: That boy is getting stronger.
Yohmei: I’d better go home and continue praying.
Manta: Ahh!
Ryu: Master Yoh is so cruel!
Manta: Are you sure that you’re not going to go to U.S. because of me?
Ryu: Of course, Sushi bar won’t go anywhere.
Ryu: Let’s go. A journey of 2 men to Isumo.
