Talk:Spirit of Fire

Elements of Onmyodo
Hao can turn the Spirit of Fire into any of the other elements, as shown in the anime and the manga. However, does he use the elements of onmyodo or the Five Chinese Elements, and is there a source for this? The Five Chinese Elements are the ones we all know: fire, water, earth, wood, and metal. But the onmyodo elements are Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and "Void" (its called Ku, and mostly translated as "void", referring to as a magic energy of some sorts). Now in the manga there is a picture of the Spirit of Fire in the forms of the five elements, it is in the chapter where the Spirit of Fire turns into water. But does the picture shown represent the Chinese elements or the onmyodo elements?

It would make sense to have the Spirit of Fire use the onmyodo elements, since Hao is an onmyoji, but I recall the image showing wood and metal, and not wind and void. Can anyone confirm this? --Byakkougan 14:55, September 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Chapter 140 page 15, and the elements used by onmyoji are the chinese elements. Japanese elements (not used in onmyodo) are earth, water, fire, wind, and void/space. http://www.onemanga.com/Shaman_King/140/15/ Haftorang 17:20, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll change the article to say so. --Byakkougan 17:22, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
