Lee Pyron

Lee Pailong(李白竜, "Ri Pyron") is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Shaman King.

Appearance
Pailong is a tall muscular man with short bushy black hair. When he was still alive he wore a white shirt and black pants with a red scarf to hold them up. After being killed and turned into a Jiangshi he was given black and green clothing styled of the Tao Family and constantly wore a pair of Nunchaku's on his back. After being killed his skin also became pale and turned slightly blue.

Personality
Pailong is a man obsessed with his Dao Dan Do. He is always trying to perfect it. When he learned that he was dead for thirty years he was in rage for a while but calmed down later. He is only loyal to Jun and managed to resist the words and empty promises of Tao Yúan during Ren's attack.

Abilities and Powers
Lee Pailong's Master, Shaolin (Shao-lin in the English anime), founded a variation of the Shaolin ("super forest") Temple Style (a parody of Shaolin). Shaolin created the Ruichong-quan kung-fu (Eijuken in the English anime). Sha-wen's Ruichong-quan kung-fu was the basis of Pailong's style, the Dǎodàn-do (dǎodàn is Chinese for "missile"), which combined Boxing, Muay Thai, and Karate. Before Pailong died, he intended to create a perfect version of it and he intended not to pass it on until he finally perfected it. Pailong died before he could complete his art form. Various Daodan Do moves include Fu chong Hong Zha si(dive bomber, a series of matrix like flips), followed by Hong Zha Jiao(Bomb kick, a thrust to the face using the right leg) or the Dao Dan Jiao(rochet kick, a sudden thrust to the body with the legs).

Past
Lee Pailong was born on November 29, 1948 and died at age 30. He trained under a master named Shaolin who had mastered his own style of Martial Arts, and became a master of Martial Arts himself. He became a movie star and made alot of money. Pailong was killed by the Tao family in an attempt to satisfy the family's lust for revenge. Pailong's body disappeared after his funeral. He was made into Jiang-shi by the Tao family and was given to the Daoshi Tao Jun.

Fighting for Jun
Pailong made his first appearance when Jun calls upon him to battle Yoh. Jun orders Pailong to kill Yoh and Pailong quickly defeats Yoh knocking him out for a bit. Yoh gets up and manages to reach part of Pailong the Tao's were hoping to stop. Jun is angered by this and orders Pailong to fight more. Pailong attacks with his weapon but it wraps around Yoh's arm.

Yoh strikes back but is stopped by Pailong. Jun is ready to finish Yoh and Manta runs. Manta returns with Ryu's sword and Yoh and Amidimaru cut the tag off Pailong. Pailong comes to and wonders where he is. Manta remarks that Pailong is back and Pailong remembers who he is. Pailong looks at a movie poster and sees Twentieth anniversary and suddenly remembers what the Tao did. Pailong goes on a rampage attacking Jun. Yoh defends Jun ask him to stop but Pailong attacks Yoh furiously. Anna then summons Pailong's master and places him into Yoh.

The master is in complete control of Yoh and they hobble around like a old man. Pailong is so into his rampage that he attacks his master. Yoh dodges and proceeds to pound Pailong into the ground. The master tells Pailong to kill his ego but Pailong keeps attacking from all angles, getting stopped at every point. The master decides the battle has gone on long enough and defeats Pailong with a powerful blow.

Pailong's ghost is freed from the zombie and apologizes for doing the things he just did. Jun leaves and Pailong's master asks if he would like to go to heaven. Pailong does not want to go and wants to perfect Dao Dan do. The master asks if he wants to borrow a body like he just did but Pailong wants his own body to do the job on his own. Pailong asks Jun for him to be his Jiang shi which Jun accepts and they both leave happy that they found a place to belong.

Going against the Tao Family
When Jun defects to Yoh's side, Pailong attacks Yúan but is quickly destroyed and cut into many pieces. Jun, with Pailong and Ren, are imprisoned by Yúan. Yoh rescues them and goes upstairs. When Pailong's master's zombie attacks Yoh, Pailong stops him as he is stitched back together. The zombie attacks Jun and Pailong retaliates by killing it and cutting it half. Yúan appears late and knocks out everyone. Pailong manages to kick Yúan in the head but it does not do anything and he is thrown into a wall. The others get up again and want to fight and Ren defeats Yúan. Pailong stays with Jun at the Tao compound.

Shaman Fight Second Round
When Ren was badly injured by Hao's followers, Anna, Jun, and Tamao are assigned by Mikihisa to find his team and rescue them from Hao. They find his team in the forest cornered by Asakura Hao's Hana-Gumi team. The Hana-Gumi attack Mikihisa's team but are knocked aside by the three girls. The two engage in battle with Pailong managing to destroy Ashcroft's Armor. Anna leaves with Mikihisa team to get to their match. Jun and Tamao, believing they have taken out the third oversoul, attack Chuck and Jack. They are successful in knocking them aside. Ashcroft gets up and attacks Pailong with the armor on. Ashcroft manages to impale Pailong with his lance but it has no effect since Pailong is a dead body. The Lance is stuck inside Pailong and Pailong destroys Ashcroft. Pailong readies himself to take down the last two ghosts but Ashcroft gets up again and grabs Pailong. Pailong shatters the armor beyond repair and readies himself to kill the armor for good, but it is revealed that Kanna's medium is cigarette smoke and she cuts Pailong's arm off.
