Past[]

Shaman Fight Second Round[]

As Peyote Diaz and Turbine fought and mortally wounded Umemiya Ryunosuke, Gandhara arrived to revive and protect Ryu due to Asakura Yoh's kind and pure-hearted prayer.[6]

Team "Nyorai" succeeded the first round after crushing Team "Haiti 800".[4]

In preparation for the final battle, most of the Gandhara members met up with Yoh, and Sati sent him to Hell in order for him to train and become one of the Five Elemental Warriors.[7] After Sati explained to Team "Funbari Onsen" about Gandhara's mission, Namari confronted them about their plan to steal the Five Grand Elemental Spirits from the Patch Tribe. Daiei comforted the frightened Komeri and readied himself fight Namari. The Patch Officiant then informed them that Team "X-II" had been killed so Team "Nyorai" would face Team "Kabbalahers" next.[8]

As Namari left, Team "Tsuki-Gumi" arrived and tried to bait Ryu into a fight. When Sati was distracted stopping Ryu, Hang Zang-Ching stabbed her in the back, killing her.[9] Team "Tsuki-Gumi" then managed to kill the rest of the Gandhara members there. Johann Faust VIII revived Yoh, who quickly defeated Team "Tsuki-Gumi" by himself. After Johann revived Sati, she revived Iron Maiden Jeanne and together, the two women revived everyone else.[10][11]

After Lyserg Diethel's revival, Teams "Nyorai", "Deva", and "Kabbalhers" withdrew from the tournament, allowing Team "X-I" to continue on and bringing an end to the match between Teams "Funbari Onsen" and "The Ren".[12]
