Bason(馬 孫 Japanese: Bason, Pinyin: Mǎsūn or Ma3 Sun1) is a former chineese military general that now serves the Tao Family.

History
500 years ago when he was still alive, Bason was born in the time of war and became a Chinese Wujiang (武将. A military class of ancient China) that served for the Tao family. According to both Shaman King data books, which were released only in Japan, information such as his date of birth and blood type are unknown. In his days as an ancient Chinese warrior, Bason rode into battle on a horse named Hei-Tao. He has crossed swords so many other warriors. He has come across all sorts of weapons and different martial arts techniques. He then defeated them and learned all about there techniques becoming the true "Master of Arms". When he died he became a spirit and continued to be a loyal servant of the Tao family and eventually ended up becoming the guardian ghost of Ren Tao

Hyoi Gattai
Also known as intergration in the english anime. When Ren was first introduced he used Hyoi Gattai to fight Yoh and revealed his believes that spirits should be dominated, otherwise would the union tear the body appart because the spirits could not agree on anything. This battle strategy was later dropped when Ren learned of the more powerfull Oversoul technique.

Attacks


 * 100% Intergration(100%Hyoi Gattai) Using his complete dominance over Bason Ren creates a far more powerfull Hyoi Gattai allowing him to use all of Basons attacks to the fullest, including the vorpal dance.

Golden Over Soul
O.S. "Bason" (O.S.馬孫) Description: Ren’s original Over Soul which integrates Bason's ghost with his Kwan Dao, enabling him to materialize onto the physical plane. It’s a Spirit-type O.S which molds Bason's ghost into a giant, golden battle spear, named "Golden Over Soul". The basic form is Rens Kwan Dao with eight balls at the end, ressembling Basons shoulder armour. The golden balls each sprouts a spike and at the verry end of it is Basons head sprouting the spear tip from the top of his helmet. The battle spear Over Soul is formidable in itself, but the most intriguing aspect about this O.S. is its ability to change forms when fully supplied with the adequate amount of mana. As Ren charges more mana into the O.S., Bason's body begins to materialize on a higher plane of existence, ultimately materializing his whole upper body, though in colossal proportion. At this phase, Bason O.S. can assist with the halberd's attacks using his fists, or can handle the guandao itself (ie. Super-Golden Vorpal Dance). Bason can also transform into a flight-capable hover armor mode when Ren uses the Bâo-Lèi Sword

 * O.S. Type: Spirit Type
 * Spirit Ally: Bason (human ghost)
 * Media used: Kwan Dao (later "Bâo-Lèi Sword)

Attacks


 * Vorpal Dance: The vorpal dance is one of Rens more basic attacks. Originally used by Bason, by using the Hyoi Gattai with Bason, Ren eventually memorized it himself. It consists of a series of of fast thrust attacks with the Kwan Dao. In the english anime it is called Rapid Tempo Assault.


 * Golden Chinese Style Attack: During his tournament fight with Yoh it was the first attack used by Ren. Using his large oversoul Ren slams it down on his opponent. When Yoh dodged it, it was showen to have enough power, to leave a small crater in the earth where it had hit.


 * Exploding Oversoul: Turning the tip of spear the other way around Ren releases a large amount of Furyoku into an explosion propelling himself forward and using the arrow like tipe of the other end to attack. This was first seen during his battle with Yoh, in the first part of the Shaman Tournament.

Super Bushin
*O.S. "Super Bushin" (O.S.スーパー武神) Description: This Weapon-type O.S. integrates Bason with the Tao family's heirloom Bâo-Lèi Sword and transforms him into a monstrous Guandao O.S., with the ability to alter its shape on command. This O.S. takes full advantage of the spirit-refining powers of the Bâo-Lèi Sword, enabling Bason to evolve into a seirei-class ghost and access his wealth of military knowledge of weaponry and tactics. The end result is an O.S. in a constant state of evolution, able to transform into any weapon Bason has ever wielded. The name compliments this O.S.'s abilities well, as "Bushin" means "Warlord"; reflecting Bason's expertise in weaponry and military might
 * Shaman: Tao Ren
 * O.S. Type: Spirit/Weapon Type
 * Spirit Ally: Bason (seirei-class)
 * Media used: "Bâo-Lèi" Sword

Attacks


 * Tougen Kyou (Blade Illusion): Oversouling the "Bâo-Lèi" Sword and thrusting it into the ground, Ren, randomly, makes several blade weapons sprout out of the ground around him. The more Furyoku he puts into it the more weapons its sprout and the faster it becomes. This was first used against Mikihisas two Kami-Yama spirits, who had surrounded Ren. This Technique make use of Basons wide knowledge, of various weapons.


 * Shishen Tougen Kyou(Quad Blade Illusion), Sou[Spear), Tou(Swords), Geki(Helberd), Tajin(Multi Blade): Quad refering to Quadro(meaning four), this attacks is based on launching four types of weapons at the opponent. Using all the theese attacks in conjuctions Ren quickly launches a massive amount weapons, consistent of all four types of weapons at his opponent in high speed. This was first used against Mikihisa who easily dodged all of them.

Bushin Fish Fin
O.S. "Bushin Yúchì" (O.S.武神魚翅) Description: This Armor-type O.S. is the evolution of the Super Bushin. It integrates Bason with the Bâo-Lèi Sword and materializes as protective armor and shield for Ren's right arm. With this O.S. Ren can attune his furyoku to the element of electricity and generates great amounts of voltage. The Bushin Yúchì embodies the understanding of Pascal Avaf's advice and the epiphany of the nature of his strength, as achieves true harmony with his spirit ally, Bason. Since its introduction, the Bushin Yúchì has undergone two major metamorphosis; the initial design being a two-part O.S. which separates into a giant blade-arm and an airborne electrical capacitor. And the other being protective armor and shield, with a trademark, shark-fin blade protruding from the arm-shield. As Ren improves in strength, the O.S. becomes more streamline and sleeker, dropping the armor and ultimately settling in the form of a large, sleek, shark-faced forearm-shield with the trademark shark-fin blade.
