Manta blocking the gangster's way Man: Do you want to die? Manta trying to say something Man: Huh? I can't hear you. Manta: Please let me borrow your bokuto(wooden sword)... Man: What was that? Manta: Please let me borrow your bokuto! (holding onto the man's bokuto) Man: Don't make me laugh, kid!

Meanwhile... Pailong's still attacking Yoh endlessly, mercilessly, while Yoh tries to block off the attacks with his arms ~Back to Manta~ Man: What a tough kid (after smashing him to the ground a dozen times). Manta (through pain): Your bokuto... Man: Shut up! (lifting him up and ready to smash him to the ground again) Manta: *Yoh-kun...* A wooden sword suddenly pointed at the man Man: Who the hell are you? Manta: *Ryu...of the wooden sword...* Ryu: That's enough. Man 2: Back off! Man 3: Trying to get in our way? Man 4: Don't try to ack like a hero! Man 5: Do I look easy to you, punk?

Jun:I you give me Amidamaru, I'll end your pain. Anna tightening her fists Yoh: Arh! (after falling to the ground hard) Jun: Pailong won't stop attacking until you're dead. The more you resist, the more painful it will be. Yoh: Amidamaru...As I said, he's my friend! Also, Amidamaru...Hasn't given up this fight! If I...If I give up first...It'll be bad for Amidamaru! Jun: Even so close to death, friendship is more important than your life? That's tough to understand...What good are friends for? tires screeching to a halt Manta: Getting rid of you people, for example. Showing Manta with a bruised eye Jun: Didn't you run away?! Yoh: Manta...Those wounds... Showing Anna with a small smile on her face Manta: A katana with a grip...I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. (holding out the katana to Yoh) Yoh: Manta... Manta: Yoh-kun is fighting to save my hero. So I wanted to help too... because we're friends. Ryu: Manta fought greatly. Accept the readiness of his heart. Yoh: Yeah. Thank you...Manta! (taking the katana from Manta)I appreciate it. Manta: Ah Hehehe...(scratching behind his head) Yoh: Can we do it? Amidamaru?! Amidamaru: Of course! After granting my plea...With Manta-dono's zealous energy...I, Amidamaru...Shall respond with my greatest succession technique! Jun: Greatest succession technique? What can you do with that bokuto? Pailong! Destroy that guy's body! Go! Pailong using a flying kick Yoh dodging the kick Manta: He took the kick! Ryu: A...Amazing! Jun: His style of movement has completely changed! Yoh&Amidamaru together: With a katana that has a grip...the wielder's speed changes...that is samurai! Pailong. I shall free your soul now! Amidaryu Shinkuu Buttagiri! (senting a red crescent like shaped energy attack at Pailong's seal) Anna: It's over. Pailong's seal break in half Pailong: Urh? Ryu: It's the real Li Pailong! Pailong: Pai...long...(seeing a movie poster of himself) Pailong walking towards it Pailong: That's right...I am...Li Pailong. Ah! (reading what's on the poster) Poster: After 17 long years, The Legendary Pailong, Comes back to life Pailong: For 17 years?! What have I been doing...This is...What's going on? (smashing the poster's protection glass) Ah! Why? Why don't I feel any pain? Why am I not bleeding? Jun: It's sad to see you action like this, Pailong. You're already dead. Pailong: What?! Jun: A kyonshi (frozen corpse) should act like a kyonshi. And follow my, priest Tao Jun's, words! Pailong: Tao... ~Flashback~ Man: Li Pailong...It's a shame, but you are to become the Tao family's main spirit.(pointing a gun at him)I'm sorry about this. (pointing a gun at him) BANG! ~End of Flashback~ Jun throughing a charm at Pailong Pailong grabbing it Manta: Pailong grabbed the charm! Ryu: Wh...What's going on?! Anna: He rebelled...against his priest. Pailong: I...Lost everything because of you. My life...My dream... Because of you?! Jun: Pailong's fury exceeded the limit...and he went berserk? Take this charm! Pailong grabbing Jun's wrist Pailong throughing Jun to the ground Jun landing Pailong attacking again Jun: Ah?! (surprised and shocked) Jun closing her eyes, ready for the worst opening her eyes Jun: Huh! (seeing Yoh standing in front of her, blocking Pailong's attack)You...Saved me? Pailong: You! What are you doing? Yoh: Hey Pailong...How does revenge feel? Pailong: Huh! Yoh: Fun? That can't be, right? Pailong: Huh! Yoh: Even if you had your revenge on her...The things you've lost won't return. The fact that you're dead won't change. Then...Let's think. Of ways you can spend your time more enjoyably. Jun: Huh!? Pailong: Shut up! (now going mad) Manta: Yoh-kun! Ryu: My bokuto! Yoh: Hey...Wait... Pailong starting to attack furiously Amidamaru: It's no use. He's too furious, and he won't listen to reason. Yoh: You can understand his feelings? (trying to block the attacks) Amidamaru: Fury...Isn't something that can be settled that easily, he's overexerting himself for nothing. Ryu: What kind of fight is this? Manta: However, Yoh-kun's Hyoui Gattai should be close to its limit... Yoh: Tao Jun! At this rate, Pailong will be devoured by hatred, and become an evil spirit. Isn't there any way to stop this? Jun: Impossible...Unless someone can defeat Pailong...Not even me...No one can stop Pailong now. Everyone will be killed! Anna slapping Jun on the face Anna: Why are you giving up? He's your main spirit, isn't he? Take some responsibility. Jun: My...Main spirit... Anna: Someone who can defeat Pailong...Can you think of anyone? Jun: That's...How could there be anyone stronger than Pailong? Anna: There is, isn't there? Jun: If I remember correctly...Pailong was unable to defeat his master. Anna: Master? Manta: That's right, it's Shamon! Ryu: Shamon? Manta: He was Pailong's childhood teacher, who taught him the basics of Kung Fu. Even though he was only a master of martial arts...To Pailong, he was a teacher of life itself. Mighty Kung Fu Master... Shamon! Jun: What about him? Shamon died long ago. Anna: That's good. I'm an expert at spells of the Ancient Spirits. Anytime, anywhere, no matter where it is, I can recall the spirit. That is me...'Spiritualistic Medium' Anna! Jun: Spiritualistic Medium?! Manta: It's a group of Japanese Shamans! They're similar to priests. Ryu: It suddenly feels chilly. Anna: I fondle it once (her beads), for the seed of the father. I fondle it twice, for the seed of the mother. I fondle it thrice, for the hometown. Mirror, descend upon my body. If this voice is heard over in the other world, stand up. If the sounds of these beads is heard, come out now! Jun: A trance state?! Manta: It's coming! Anna: Yoh! Yoh: Amidamaru unsealed spirit mode! Anna: Let's go! Shamon's soul! Fusion of the Spiritualistic Medium! Get inside (to Yoh's body)! Jun: Hyoui...Gattai... Manta: All right! The roles are reversed now! Yoh: Say what? Amidamaru: Ah! Ryu: He's a regular old man. Amidamaru: Even so...If he's really the master...Pailong should not be able to attack! Manta: It's no good! Pailong didn't notice! Ryu: He (Pailong) missed!? Manta: And again! Ryu: Was his aim off? Amidamaru: No. That old man's movement...He can see all of Pailong's moves...And dodge easily. Yoh&Shamon together: Pailong, your moves are flawed, because you're acting out of fury. Pailong: Huh! Yoh&Shamon together: Haven't I taught you? The most important thing for martial artist to do is...To calm themselves! Pailong still attacking out of fury Yoh blocking the moves easily Yoh hitting Pailong to the ground Ryu: Strong! He's super strong! Manta: That's an attack invented by Daodan do! Shamon's Shadow Fist! Amidamaru: Pailong is...being treated as if he were a child! Shamon: Fury clouds one's heart. Abandon your fury, Pailong. Pailong: Why shouldn't I be furious? I...My life was taken away, and I've lost everything. Shamon: You didn't lose everything. When you have lost everything...You can'ts even feel fury anymore. Yet, you are furious. Why? Because your devotion to the completion of Daodan Do remains in your heart. However, is this martial art full of fury? The Daodan Do you seek? Pailong: Shut up! (charging at Shamon/Yoh) Shamon: It's just like a child fighting. (dodging him easily) If you let your feelings show so clearly...Anyone can dodge your attacks. If you don't calm down, your future will forever be closed to you. Pailong still attacking Shamon: How ignorant. If you cant' cool down your fury...I will personally calm your heart! Shadow Fist Succession Technique! Sou Jyu Ken! This...Will be my last lesson to you. Pailong falling to the ground Voice: Pailong. Anna: The seal is disappearing. He's returning to his true form. Pailong: Ma...Master... Shamon: Yo! Pailong: Please forgive me! (bowing to Shamon)Because of my lack of control, you had to come all this way. Shamon: It's all thanks to that boy. (turning to Yoh who's laying on the ground apparently tired) To save you...And to save everyone's dreams, he fought. Pailong: Dreams... Shamon: Your Daodan Do...Isn't a martial art to save yourself, but to save others. That's why you were loved by everyone in the world, and became a hero to many people. Manta: Thanks, Yoh-kun... Yoh: Huh? Manta: For protecting Pailong. Yoh: Ah heh. Huh? (seeing Pailong staring at him) Ah heh. Pailong: Um huh. (smiling) Shamon: Your Daodan Do...will live on within everyone's hearts. It's something to be grateful for. Pailong. Pailong: Yes. Jun walking away Anna: Will you abandon Pailong and go? Jun: Maybe I was wrong. Even though he was my main spirit...I didn't know anything about Pailong. I don't even know right from wrong right now. But I can say this much...I was totally defeated. He's a great person...Asakura Yoh. Anna: Of course. Yoh is my fiance. Jun: I...Don't have the right to keep Pailong. (keep on walking away) Pailong: Wait, please. Master. I can't rest in peace yet. Shamon: What?! You can't mean...?! Pailong: As long as I can, I will pursue my dreams. Even if it's in the form of a kyonshi. Some day... Tao Jun...I swear to you I will never give in to my fury again. So...will you make me into a kyonshi and allow me to stay by your side? Jun: Huh (apparently touched). Alright. But...without the charm. Ryu: Shamans! They are so damn cool! Manta: So, Tao Jun and Pailong...disappeared into the moonlight. There is a connection between spirits and shamans. But in the end, it depends on their feelings toward each other. Yoh-kun, with a content expression on his face...watched the two people off until the end. Ren sitting on a sign not far away from Yoh and them Ren: I will get stronger...I won't let him stand in my path. -End of Episode 7-
