The 2 Big Souls

The 2 Big Souls(2人のビッグソウル) is the 19th episode of Shaman King the anime series.

Summary
As Silva of the 10 Patch Officiants and Kalim of the 10 Patch Officiants have lunch in their apartment, they talk about the fact that in tomorrow's match, Tao Ren is in favor since he has more Furyoku than Yoh. Meanwhile, as Yoh is at home listening to some music, Anna tells him to have enough hours of sleep today. As Anna tells Yoh to go shopping, she talks with Tamao about the fact that Yoh has to win his last match against Tao Ren. Meanwhile, Yoh and Amidamaru, who are underway to the shop, are talking about the match as well. Meanwhile, Tao Ren is seen doing some fitness training as Bason tells him that he should rest more. As Bason states that the Tao Family rests on his shoulders, Tao Ren states that he doesn't care but that he will become Shaman King anyway. The next morning, after Yoh and Anna have prepared themselves and Yoh is ready to leave, they meet with Manta and together they head for the place where Yoh has to fight Tao Ren.

As they arrive at the graveyard where the match will take place, Yoh is pretty calm about it while Manta is excited. Meanwhile, Anna states to Tamao that she believes in Yoh today. Then, Tao Ren arrives at the graveyard and Yoh and he talks about that they both have to win this fight and want to become Shaman King. As the fight starts and they both use their Over Soul, Tao Ren immediately attacks Yoh, but Yoh is able to dodge the attack. After Yoh gets knocked back by Tao Ren's next attack, Yoh is able to dodge Tao Ren's surprise attack with Amidamaru's help. Meanwhile, Silva of the 10 Patch Officiants, who is watching the fight, talks with his spirits about the fact that the difference in the Furyoku level between Tao Ren and Yoh is just too big. Then, Yoh takes a few blows from Tao Ren's big over soul attacks. As Yoh and Tao Ren clash again, Yoh is able to break Tao Ren's big over soul by stabbing it in its weak spot. Silva of the 10 Patch Officiants then states that Amidamaru is the key since he's been fighting opponents that are stronger than himself since he was a child, so he has lots of experience now. As Tao Ren attacks Yoh again out of anger, Yoh is able to dodge and break his big Over Soul again. Silva of the 10 Patch Officiants then states that "the situation is reversed" and that since a Shaman fight is a mental battle, Tao Ren has paid for not controlling his anger. As Tao Ren re-creates his big over soul again, Tao Jun is seen asking her father to let her younger brother Tao Ren be free. As Tao Jun states that her younger brother Tao Ren is, in fact, a kind person that is entangled in anger and pain, meanwhile Tao Ren is seen dashing towards Yoh again.
