Shaman Fights Second Round
When Silva tried to steal the remaining 4 Elemental Spirits and was captured Goldva ordered Bron and Renim to reeducate him in the ways of the Patch, something Kalim seemed shocked to hear.

Invading the Plants
Eventually Asakura Hao would be crowned the Shaman King by forfeit of the remaining three teams and his own two teammates. When the remaining teams invaded the Plants and was facing of against Silva, Renim showed up alongside Bron and ordered Silva to return to his Plant. There he and Bron revealed their over souls and greeted the invaders. Renim explained what they did to Silva and began revealing the way to the King's Sanctuary, but also warned them that the Ten Patch Priests would be there, to stop and kill them. They left and told them to follow the main path or get lost forever. Renim then returned to his plant, of the Jungle.

When the invaders reached the 6th plant of the jungle, Renim had already hid himself above the entrance door. There he used the ability of Clear Coat to hide himself completely both from Chocolove McDonell's extremely good smelling ability and Lyserg Diethel's dowsing abilities. As Lyserg suggested to burn down the jungle with the Spirit of Fire and Ren suggested that he could send a surge of lightning down he river, both of them wanting to remove his place of hiding, Renim in his thoughts revealed that that was the exact reason he was hiding above the door, as he was also able to spy on them and prepare to strike them if needed, and perhaps also get them to waste their furyoku.

Opacho, however, is able to find Renim using her special ability and defeats him easily with her over soul. Though she only did it because Renim's constant thoughts were keeping Opacho awake and very cranky.

He later appears, together with all the other Patch Priests, within the Great Spirit.

Anime/Manga Difference
In the anime Renim was never shown.
