*Only for M-S.

1)
top right: Welcome home.
1: Shaman King?
white: 1995 - Izumo
small: Shaman King returns!!! The shocking "one-shot" begins!!!
SHAMAN KING

2(2b): Yeah. People who can see spirits use spirit power to fight each other, and
the one who wins out in the end gets to become God.
3: Pretty stupid, huh?

2)
1: I mean, if someone like me became God,
side: From "Unfinished" to "Super complete."

3)
right: A slightly bittersweet tale from before "Yoh became Yoh"
1: the human race would probably go extinct.
(bottom text is just website news stuff)


5)
1: I'm surprised.
2: That's not something I'd expect a kid like you to say.
3(2b): ...I wasn't being serious. Besides, it's not like I'd ever be able to become
Shaman King anyway.
4: Why not? Isn't that the goal you've been working toward for so long, Yoh?

6)
1: I think it'd be a shame if you stopped here.
2: You're already strong enough to talk with a ghost like me, and you're just going
to go and quit?

7)
1(2b): ...I'm nothing special. All my family members are stronger than me, and
there are tons more people out there who could take me on.
2: And since I hate everyone, I'm just better off not getting involved.
3: ...anyway,
4: aren't YOU the one who should be giving up?
5: I know there's someone waiting for you, but there's no way they're gonna come
here.
6: I mean, you've been here for 50 years already.

8)
1: Don't you call people like that earthbound spirits?
2: I'm pretty happy waiting like this, you know.
3(2b): ...But everyone says that earthbound spirits shouldn't be here. You may be
fine now, but sooner or later, your feelings may change, and you could become a bad
spirit.
4: If my grandpa found you, you'd be outta here in a flash.
5: And if it comes to that, I think you'd be better off just disappearing by
yourself.
6: You're so sweet, Yoh!
7(2b): Wah! What's the big idea?! I told you, I hate everyone!
8: Why?

9)
1: What do you mean why...
2: No matter what anyone says, I like what I like.
3: Because that's me. And I refuse to blame anyone else for it.
4: Using the word "hate" like that is a waste.

10)
1(2b): Tch! Someone's kept her waiting for 50 years, and she still has feelings for
them? Talk about stubborn!
2: That's probably why she became an earthbound spirit.
3: "Using the word "hate" like that is a waste."
4: ...I don't get it.
5: It's not like I have any reason to like anyone.
6: Izumo Shrine Station Platform
7: and the girl at the bench

11)
1: Just when I thought I had found the perfect spot where I could skip out on
training, listen to Bob, and watch the trains...
2: It's gonna be difficult to go back there.
3: I'm home!
4(2b): You're unusually early today, Yoh. What's wrong? Decided to do some training
for once in a while?
5: I'm going to sleep.
6: Make sure you brush your teeth.

12)
1: That's odd. Aren't you going to scold him, father?
2(2b): Hmph...Shaman training is training of the heart. It's pointless to force it
on those who have no motivation.
3: But it's only going to be a few more years until the Shaman Fight, isn't it?
4: Don't tell me you're going to give up too?
5: Use your head, Keiko. I would hate to send my grandson to die, so if there's a
way he can get out of fighting in it, then I'll take it.
6: But this has been the cherished wish of the Asakura house for over a thousand
years--
7: Yoh has that man's qualities in him. He's equipped with everything necessary to
defeat that man. We have no reason to give up.

13)
1: --the most important thing to Yoh right now is awareness.
2: Nothing will change if people force things on him.
3: Unless he wants it, and pushes himself forward.
4: "No matter what anyone says, I like what I like."
5: ...but, Bob...

14)
1: Yoooooo, Asakuraaaa!
2: You skipped school and went to the station yesterday, didn't you?!
3(2b): I know what you did! What are you always doing out there?
4: Yoooooh, Asakura!

15)
1: Gyahahah! Get my joke?! Wasn't that a good one?!
2: How stupid.
3: I doubt I'll ever meet someone stupider than Dokugamushi.
4: Man, you're such a weirdo, Dokugamushi, talking to a LEAF like that!
5: I need to ward you off!
6: This guy lives in a haunted house, you know!
7(2b): Hey, did you see the soccer game yesterday?! It was so awesome! I can't
believe they came back like that!
8(2b): Soccer is so boring! Comedy is where it's at these days! That one guy's been
in a slump lately.
9: Oh yeah, hey, did you hear that new song?
10: Yeah, I did!!!
11: So stupid.

16)
1: Everyone watches the same thing, listens to the same music, and feels moved by
the same things.
2: And they even go to the same places, so they get crowded and jammed up, making
lines and stuff, wasting time, just like sheep being herded...
3: What a pain in the ass.
4: I'll just pretend I didn't hear and walk past them.
5: Huh?!
6: Don't ignore me, you little leaf!
7: What are you always listening to with those headphones anyway?!

17)
1:
Comin' down from the mothership
I'm a skinshipper with a capital S
Doesn't matter who it is
I come on strong with some sportsmanship
and make 'em all melt with some skinship

Ski-ski, that's right
Skinship!

Bring it on!
I'm a super skinshipper

2(2b): This is so bad! What the hell is this?!
[Skinshipper]
Lyrics/Music by BOB

3: If they were only sheep, it'd be alright.
4: But they're always so desperate to reject anything that they can't understand.

18)
1: That's why
2: I hate them.

19)
1: Huh...?
2: Oh no...!

20)
1: Yoh. This Shikigami of yours are spirits materialized by using leaves as
catalysts.
2: Do not forget that it is possible to use these to hurt other human beings.
3: Oh no!
4: Go away, ko-oni!
5: Leaf booooooooy!
6: What the hell did you do to me?!

21)
1(2b): Ahaha, so that's what happened. But it's your fault for hurting him, Yoh.
2: But they paid me back 10 times what I did!
3: I can't save them after all.
bag: Leaf boy
underwear
4: Even if I did become God. I wouldn't be able to spare them.
5: Let me listen to one of Bob's songs, please.
6(2b): don't bother. You probably won't understand it. You're an old person.
7(2b): That's so mean! I'm only 16! Come on, please, let me listen!!
8: Wah! Don't come near me, I said!

22)
1(2b): ...hey. This sounds great.
2(2b): Woah! This is the first time I've ever seen someone cry after listening to
Bob! Oh wait, could it be you're crying out of shock...?
3: ...what a surprise...
4: You think I'd cry from something like that? I know a little about American
music, you know.

23)
1: I cried because I remembered a certain person.
2: A certain person...?
3: Shimane Joe.
4: ...Shimane Joe?
5: Shimane Joe.
6: His real name is Shimamura Joutarou.
7: He loved American country music, and was the man who I was engaged with.

24)
1(2b): Swing jazz was really popular then, but he just stuck straight to country.
And so I got a little taste for American music myself.
2: American music is really cheerful, yet sometimes sad, but very gentle and
uplifting.
3: We used to invite people and have parties.
4(2b): It was really fun back then. Whenever he started to sing, people would just
gather and gather.
5(2b): But one day, everyone stopped coming. American music is the enemy's music,
they said. "You traitor!"
6: ...enemy...?

25)
1: That's why I understand where you're coming from.
2(2b): If everyone just goes along with the flow, then they can't come face to face
with their true feelings. Not only that, but they might even stop thinking for
themselves, and that's when they really get in trouble.
3: Because they start to get controlled by the heat of the times,
4: and start wars for other people's ambitions.

26)
1(2b): It's silly, you know. Music has no borders or sins, yet people call it the
"enemy" and start to hate it.
2: If you just think a little, even people living happily together even though
they're in poverty could stop from hating people they don't even know.
3: ...then was Joe...
4: He was silly too.
5: He's stupid, so he happily went off to war with everyone else.
6(2b): 'Now I can go to America, the place I've always dreamed of,' he said. 'Once
I get over there, the enemies will all become my friends.'
7: 'I'll bring a lot of friends back, so just wait here.'

27)
1: Friends...
2: A taxi?
3: This is the place, sensei!
4: Mmm...
5: Huh?! That light...!
6: This is bad! Hurry up and hide, lady!

28)
1: I see...
2: So these are the female spirits that've been sighted night after night here.
3: How did you find this place, grandpa?!
4: Is that your grandpa, Yoh?
5: This isn't the time for that, lady!
6(2b): It's really quite the problem, sensei. If even the tiniest rumor gets worked
up, it can cause quite the problem for business, so I'd love to have an exorcism be
done at all costs.
7: And you know what? The one that spotted the spirit was my son!

29)
1: Could he possibly have a power similar to yours, sensei?
2: Heheh...
3: Dokugamushi...!
4: Now now, come inside and inspect the premises, sensei.
5: ...that won't be necessary.
6: I can sense 16~17 little girls without even going inside.
7: I see...well then, once you're ready, let's schedule the date the exorcism will
take place.

30)
1: Yoooh, Asakuraaaa!
2(2b): Didn't I tell you? I know you come here every day when you skip out on
training.
3: And you even look like you're talking to someone. It's so gross.
4: I don't believe in ghosts, but I'll do anything to make up for that cut your
little magic trick gave me.
5: I'll bring everyone to the exorcism event.
6: I hope you're excited to see your safe heaven get whisked away.

31)
1: What is it, Yoh?
2: I know you were out there in the afternoon.
3: ...but don't expect me to cancel the exorcism.
4: I know.
5: It's your job. I'm not stupid enough to make some sort of selfish request.

32)
1: You don't need to stop the exorcism. And I'll start up my training again.
2: Just--
3: Just please give me a little time.
4: ...oh?

33)
1: Huh? What are you doing?
2: I heard Asakura-sensei is going to exorcise the spirits in this station.
3: You mean Yohmei-sensei?!
4: Exorcise? That's scary! Lord have mercy on us!
5: Who's Asakura-sensei anyway?
6: With awe and reverence,
7: I humbly speak to you, great god Izanagi

34)
1: Upon the will of the Great Spirit, by which the Universe is initiated in the
cosmic force of creation by the gods of birth and growth, and through which the
solar system is united in the force of harmony by the gods of Yin and Yang,
2: the gods of purification came to exist from the impurities which Izanagi-no-
Mikoto cleansed from his body in the divine river of heaven.
3: We will be able to see this holy truth, only after we purify ourselves of all
negativity, impurities, faults and restore ourselves to what we are meant to be.
4: Kuku...
5: Take that, leafy!
6(SMALL): Lord have mercy on us!
7(2b): Now then, girl. I have no personal vendetta against you, but you must not be
allowed to stay here.

35)
1: Prepare to go
2: to where you must be.
3: ...Yes.
4: Thank you very much.

36)
1: I thought you weren't supposed to give up, lady!
2: This voice...!
3: Thanks to you, I started to think a bit.
4: It's really just a matter of my own attitude whether I like or hate something, I
realized. So then why bother thinking up all those negative feelings when I can
happily choose to like something and make friends?

37)
1: So I've decided
2: to stand on my favorite train and sing my favorite music.

38)
1(2b): Huh? Leafy?! What is that idiot doing?!
2: He looks so stupid!
3: Hey, you, get down from there!
4: ...Yoh.
5: Is that hat...?
6(2b): Yeah. It was a big hassle to get help from my grandma from Aomori and get
a hold of this hat.
7: But I brought a guitar that was stashed in the closet, so it wasn't that bad.
8: Besides, Shimane Joe coached me in all the important parts.
tag: Stag Beetle

39)
1: Hey, Suzu.
2: ...sorry. I was one of the first to die on the battlefield, and I've been
relaxing in the other world ever since.
3: ...mmm.
4: That's what I thought.

40)
1: I know it won't take the place of a proper apology,
2: but I thought it'd be a good occasion to play some music for everyone.
3: Spirit fusion!
4: Shimane Joe

41)
1: Shamans are people that connect this world with the next!
2: I can have spirits possess my body!
3: Their movements! Skills! Everything is traced over to this world!!!
4: Alright now, let's go! The first song will be "Going Izumo!!!"

42)
1: That day
2: At first, those in shock
3: began to smirk a little,
4: and then even the old and the accomplished

43)
1: Izumo Shrine Station became a sort of concert hall.
2: and soon, everyone
3: were sucked in by the heartfelt singing--

44)
1: The lady at the bench
2: went off to the other world with Joe.
3: Of course, I was teased again the next day,
4: ...what a pain in the ass.
5: but I don't really worry about that anymore.

45)
1: The lady's smiling face as she listened to Joe's music
2: was the answer to everything.
3: Dad, do you know where my guitar went?
4: Nope!
left side: The courage to announce what you like. Do you have it?
