Then, a flashback is shown in where how Faust and Eliza met each other and Faust wants to save Eliza from an incurable disease. Faust tells that after twenty years, they overcame her illness, but Eliza was shot in the forehead by a burglar. Faust did all he could to save her life, but it wasn't enough to save her. Since then he became a necromancer, so he could be with Eliza. After Faust found out about the Shaman Fight, his dream became to win it so he could bring Eliza back. Meanwhile, after dodging Eliza's attack, Yoh states that he is still determined to save Manta.

Faust then changes his Over Soul style and puts Eliza's soul back into her body. As Eliza deals another hit to Yoh, Silva states that Faust has so much Furyoku left that this match is almost decided already. As Eliza attack Yoh multiple times, Yoh gets even more desperate about saving Manta. Yoh finds new strength in his determination and he states that he won't lose to "a doll like this"; this infuriates Faust and goes berserk attacking Yoh relentlessly and recklessly for calling his dear love Eliza "a doll".

As Silva tries to stop the fight, Faust attacks Yoh with all his might. Silva realizes that he isn't going to make it in time, but just then Tao Ren shows up and destroys Faust's Over Soul with a simple kick attack.
