Silver Arms

Silver Arms(シルバーアームズ, Shirubaamuzu) are five animal spirits and the guardian ghosts of Silva.

About


The Silver Arms are five animal spirits who have trained and refined themselfs for over five hundred years, in turn becoming divine spirits. They each reside in one of five silver rings Silva has on his right hand, which function like Amidamaru's mortuary tablet. From these rings they can materialize for non-combat use. During combat they reside in their respective animal part on Silva's clothes: eagle feathers, a turtle shell piece, a buffalo horn, a snake jawbone, and a coyote leg. This strengthens Silva's oversouls, similar to how the futsu-no-mitama no tsurugi strengthens Amidamaru's oversoul.

Silver Wing
Silva Wing(シルバーウイング, Shirubā Uingu)

Silver Wing is the spirit of an American bald eagle. His decisiveness and confidence make him the leader of Silva's five spirits. His defects are his quick temper and tendency to criticize. He was first seen commenting to Silva that human spirits, like Amidamaru, were weak and worthless. Later, while Yoh was using Hyoi Gattai to hit Silva, he materialized as a shoulder guard and wings. When he appeared he mocked Yoh for being too weak to hit Silva. Silva can use this spirit to fly by integrating Silver Wing with the eagle feathers on his head.

Silver Horn
Silva Horn(シルバーホーン, Shirubā Hōn)

Silver Horn is the spirit of an American buffalo. He has quite a carefree and quiet personality. He first appeared on Silva's leg when he kicked Yoh. Usually while the other spirits are talking he seems to hesitate to speak. His main medium is a buffalo horn tied to Silva's right leg. When integrated with the horn, his head appears on Silva's right leg, giving Silva's kicks tremendous power.

Silver Tail
Silva Tail(シルバーテイル, Shirubā Teiru)

Silver Tail is the spirit of a coyote. He has a strong will power and a cool, collected attitude. He first appeared on Silva's leg after he had kicked Yoh off the hill and sped over to save him. His main medium is a coyote leg tied to Silva's left leg. When integrated, his head appears on Silva's left leg, greatly increasing his speed.

Silver Rod
Silva Rod(シルバーロッド, Shirubā Roddo)

Silva Rod is the spirit of a Coral snake. Originally she was a poisonous snake, but now she has a pure and kind heart, that forces her to care about worried or wounded people. She's very strong willed. Its main medium is the jaw of snake on Silva's right wrist. When used it can become like a whip. Silver use this for long distance attacks. In the anime because of its voice it can be confirmed to be the only female spirit amongst the five.

Silver Shield
Silva Shield(シルバーシールド, Shirubā Shīrudo)

Silver Shield is the spirit of a gopher turtoise. Among the five spirits, he's the one that inspires the others. He was first seen when Yoh tried to attack silver for the first time. Using Silver Shield, and his silver ring as a medium, Silva deflected Yohs budha strike. When Yoh tried to attack directly he materialized Silver Shield as a turtoise shield on his left arm. His main medium is a turtoise shield on Silva's left wrist

O.S. Silver Arms
O.S. "Silver Arms"(O.S.シルバーアームズ) Description: This is the Silva's multi-spirit oversoul which turns his five totems into armor. Each totem solidifies through their symbolic medium: feathers for Silver Wing; a snake jawbone for his Silver Rod; a turtle shell piece for Silver Shield; a buffalo horn for Silver Horn; and a coyote femur for Silver Tail. Silva uses totem in a separate oversoul, creating armor that is highly versatile. These are the separate descriptions for each oversoul:
 * Shaman: Silva of the Ten Patch Officiants
 * O.S. Type: Armor Type
 * Spirit Allies: 5 Animal Totems - Silver Wing, Rod, Shield, Horn, and Tail
 * Medium used: Eagle feathers, Turtle shell piece, Buffalo horn, Snake jawbone, and Coyote femur


 * Silver Shield (シルバーシールド, Shilva Shield): Silva's turtle totem. As an O.S., Silva Shield materializes over Silva's left forearm as a turtle-shaped shield. This O.S. provides protection for Silva. This is perhaps Silva's most deceptive O.S. as its simplistic appearance belays its true capability. The surface of the shield ripples when hit, absorbing and dispersing the impact of attacks, protecting Silva, and shattering the adversary's mode of attack.
 * Silver Tail (シルバーテイル, Shilva Tail): Silva's coyote totem. As an O.S., Silva Horn materializes over Silva's left leg as a coyote-faced greave. This O.S. enhances Silva's leg strength utilizing a minimal amount of Furyoku in bursts. This ability enables Silva to make extraordinary leaps and dashes; even in a single bound.
 * Silver Wing (シルバーウイング, Shilva Wing): Silva's eagle totem. As an O.S., Silva Wing materializes as winged armor over Silva's shoulders and back. This O.S. enables Silva's ability of flight. Offensively, the razor-sharp edge of the wings can tear a target to sunders.
 * Silver Horn (シルバーホーン, Shilva Horn): Silva's buffalo totem. As an O.S., Silva Horn materializes over Silva's right leg as a buffalo-faced greave. This O.S. multiple the power of Silva's leg, thanks to the design of the greave. The buffalo face releases jets of mana from its 'nose' and 'mouth' generating tremendous power behind his kicks.
 * Silver Rod (シルバーロッド, Shilva Rod): Silva's snake totem. As an O.S., Silva Rod materializes over Silva's right forearm as a coiling, snake-shaped rod. This O.S. can be used by Silva to constrict targets and/or straighten into a piercing rod.

Later on, after being brainwashed and strengthened by the Patch Song, silver gains more Furyoku, combined with his lack of hesitation, he can create a stronger O.S. Because he has lost his heart, as Yoh points out, he has materialized his various totems onto a higher plane.

Silver Wing is now capable of cutting up Lyserg's Mastema Dolkeem, and Silver Rod can make a hole in Yoh's Byakkou, which can prove to its strength since both oversouls are armor types. Silver Tail is also faster than the Jaguarman O.S. who was otherwise thought to be the fastest O.S. at the time. His animal totems does also become much bigger and gains a more robotic shape. Silver Rod is now big enough to wrap around Silvers entire arm and wrap around Lyserg's body, and crush him like an anaconda. Silver Shield is big and strong enough to block Horohoro's Nipopo Gauntlets and prevent freezing and Silver Horn is now materialized enough to attack with its horns.

Attacks


 * Silver Horn (シルバーホーン, Shilva Horn): This is one of Silva's new attacks. By using his buffalo spirit Silva Horn, on his leg. Launching his knee into the air he can attack with the horns of Silva Horn and launch the opponent high into the air.


 * Silver Shield (シルバーシールド, Shilva Shield): His turtle totem is materialized enough to block any attack. I turn, Silva can now not only block an attack but also shatter the O.S. of the one hitting Silver Shield.

O.S. Totem Pole Cannon
O.S. "Totem Pole Hou" Description: The Silva Arms are also capable of a special O.S. formation called "Totem Pole Cannon". However this formation is rarely used because of its considerable Furyoku consumption. This oversouled is a totem pole composed of Silvas five spirits combining into a totem pole and then transforming into a cannon.
 * Shaman: Silva of the Ten Patch Officiants
 * O.S. Type: Weapon Type
 * Spirit Allies: Silver Horn; Silver Eagle; Silver Tail; Silver Shield; Silver Rod. Animal Spirits(Elemental Class)
 * Medium: Patch Handcraft Knife


 * Spiritual Fusion(Shousai Gattai, Spiritual Integration in the english anime): By dissolving his original oversoul Silva makes his five spirits take the form of totem pole, standing upon one another with Silver Horn in the bottom Silver Tail standing on Silver Horn, Silver Shield attaching itself to the side of Silver Tail, Silver Rode wrapping itself around Silver Horn and Silver Tail, and Silver Wing resting on the body of Silver Rode. The five Silva Arms, then transform into mechanical components assembling into a powerful cannon, which fires the energy of all five spirits at once. This technique is basically just Hyoi Gattai but instead of fusing his body with the spirits he fuse his spirits together.


 * Silver Shield (シルバーシールド, Shilva Shield): Silva's turtle totem. In the Totem Pole Cannon it transforms into a mechanical version of its shield and attaches to the side of the barrel and works as a scope.
 * Silver Tail (シルバーテイル, Shilva Tail): Silva's coyote totem. In the Totem Pole Cannon it transforms into the mechanical barrel with its face on the bottom and attaches itself to Silver Horn
 * Silver Wing (シルバーウイング, Shilva Wing): Silva's eagle totem. In the Totem Pole Cannon it transform into a barrel with an eagle head and wings on the neck. It attaches itself to Silver Tail and becomes the head of the cannon. It is the only one of the five spirits who can talk while in this formation.
 * Silver Horn (シルバーホーン, Shilva Horn): Silva's buffalo totem. In the Totem Pole Cannon it remains approximately the same becoming the foundation of the cannon.
 * Silver Rod (シルバーロッド, Shilva Rod): Silva's snake totem. It becomes mechanical and attaches to the top of the cannon connection all the other four parts

Attacks


 * Totemic Soul Blast: By charging his Totem Pole Cannon with Furyoku, The head of Silver Wing opens its mouth and gather energy inside of it. When enough energy is charged it fires a strong ball of concentrated Furyoku at the opponent. In the anime it is revealed that the power of this attack depends on how much Furyoku is used. This attack was first seen used against Yoh, in his qualification match.


 * Totemic Soul Blast, Shot at Close Range: A variation on the original Totemic Soul Blast, that is a testament to Silva's newly gained powers and fighting spirit, using O.S. Totem Pole Cannon V.2. It still fires a super dense spiritual energy shot but it is instead shot directly into an opponent at point-blank range. Unlike its predecessor it requires little to no charging time, while still regaining an extremely powerful blast. It has the power to easily shatter an armor over soul in a single hit. So far this attack has only been used against Yoh, in their fight in the Glacier Plant.

O.S. Flesh and Blood Spear
O.S. "Chiniku no Yari"(O.S. 血肉の槍)
 * Shaman: Silva of the Ten Patch Officiants
 * O.S. Type: Weapon Type
 * Spirit Allies: Silver Horn; Silver Wing; Silver Tail; Silver Shield; Silver Rod. Animal Spirits(Elemental Class)
 * Medium: Patch Handcraft Knife

Description: This oversoul was created to challenge Yoh's O.S. Spirit of Sword Byakkou during their fight in the Glacier plant. Silver Tail and Silver Horn take positions as the left and right arms, respectively. Silver Wing, Rod, and Shield combine to create the spear portion of the O.S.

The true potential of this Over Soul was never shown as Silva was defeated moments after forming it.

Anime/Manga Difference
Due to massive changes between the anime series and the manga series, Silva's final Over Soul, the O.S. Flesh and Blood Spear was never seen in the anime.
