Over Soul is the 13th episode of Shaman King the anime series.

Summary
As Yoh, Manta and Anna walk to school, a strange figure is seen staring at them. After school, Manta has a conversation with Yoh about why he can stay so calm even though the Shaman Fight is about to start. Then, the strange figure appears and asks Yoh is he wants to participate in the Shaman Fight. He also tells him that if he wants to, they will meet again "at the night when the star calls". The strange figure then disappears. Later on at Yoh's house,  Horohoro tells Yoh that someone came to him as well. That night, everyone is awake wondering about what's going to happen next. While Yoh and Amidamaru sit outside, a shooting star is seen. Yoh then understands that "the star is calling".

Later on, Yoh finds the strange figure inside the woods. As he asks Yoh if he has made his decision, he reveals that he is Silva, one of the ten officiating priests who have overseen the Shaman Fight since ancient times. Silva then tells Yoh that he simply needs to hit him with a clean blow in order to gain the right to enter the Shaman Fight. As Yoh quickly use Hyoi Gattai and attacks Silva, Silva easily blocks the attack and states that Yoh can't touch him with that. After Silva tells Yoh that he has ten minutes to hit him, Yoh attacks again but Silva blocks his attack. Silva then states that Yoh can't beat him with just Hyoi Gattai. As Yoh attacks Silva multiple times, Silva dodges all of them using different spirits. As Yoh states that Silva isn't using normal Hyoi Gattai, Silva reveals that he is using Furyoku to create Over Soul. Silva also states that Over Soul can only be defeated by Over Soul, so Yoh has to find out how to use Furyoku if he wants to stand a chance. Meanwhile, Manta has arrived at Yoh's house and asks Anna where Yoh is. Anna then tells him that the star called him and she believes in Yoh.

As Yoh is still not able to land a hit on Silva, Silva's spirits make fun of Yoh's powers. Yoh then finds out that Silva is using a medium to materialize his spirits. Yoh then puts Amidamaru's spirit inside Harusame, and finds out the way to use Over Soul. As Yoh and Silva attack each other at full strength, Yoh manages to defeat Silva's spirits and cut Silva's headband in two. As Yoh collapses from using Furyoku for the first time, Silva tells Amidamaru that Yoh is now qualified for the Shaman Fight. Silva then gives Yoh the Oracle Bell and tells him that it will transmit further information about the Shaman Fight. Then Silva leaves the scene stating that from now on, everything is the will of the Great Spirit.
