Bason riding Hei-Tao in battle
1800 years ago, as an ancient Chinese warrior, Bason rode into battle on a horse named Hei-Tao. According to Ren, Hei-Tao was able to find enemies in the dark, see-through any attack, and reach enemies in an instant.[2]
Over Souls and Attacks[]
O.S. Bason, Big Over Soul[]
Ren and Bason's Over Soul riding Hei-Tao
O.S. "Bason Big Over Soul"
- Shaman: Tao Ren
- O.S. Type: Spirit Type
- Spirit Ally: Hei-Tao (animal ghost), Bason (human ghost)
- Medium used: Bái-Feng, Basontou
Description: As Ren charges more Furyoku into the Over Soul, Bason's body begins to materialize on a higher plane of existence, ultimately materializing his whole upper body, though in colossal proportion.[3] At this phase, Bason O.S. can assist with the halberd's attacks using his fists, or can handle the guandao itself (i.e. Super-Golden Vorpal Dance).[4] It also has the ability to throw high voltage discharges.[5]
When first shown during his fight with Yoh, Ren only pumped in enough Furyoku to only materialize his upper body armor and helmet with a large spear tip at the top of the helmet. With this Over Soul, Ren can fly using his Furyoku as a propellant. Pumping in more Furyoku the Over Soul also gains Bason's arms and with even more it completely materializes Bason's upper body.[4]
Attacks
- Bason Golden Punch (
馬孫 ゴールデンパンチ Bason Gōruden Panchi): Materializing Bason's arms, Ren can use his Over Soul to punch his opponent with great force and speed. This was first seen used again Yoh.[4]
- Bason Double Golden Sledgehammer (
馬孫 ゴールデンダブルスレッジハンマー Bason Gōruden Daburu Surejjihanmā): With this technique, Ren uses both fists of his Over Souled Bason. Gathering both fists together, Bason slams them down on an opponent following the movement of the guandao which does the same thing.[6]
- Chāo Golden Zhōnghuá Zhǎn Wǔ (超ゴールデン中華斬舞 Chō Gōruden Chūka Zanmai, lit. "Super Golden Chinese Slash Dance"): Over Souling Bason's complete upper body at the tip of his guandao Ren allows Bason to wield an Over Soul guandao. Doing this Bason can use the Vorpal Dance with great power and size. This attack also seems to make Ren's hair spike grow. This was first seen used against Yoh.[7]
- Perfect Zhōnghuá Zhǎn Wǔ (
完全再現 中華斬舞 Pāfekuto Chūka Zanmai, lit. "Perfect Re-enactment Chinese Slash Dance"):[8] After integrating Hei-Tao's spirit into Bai-Feng, Ren stands on the horse's back and materializes the upper body of Bason as if the ghost were riding the horse once again.[2] Using these two spirits in unison Ren can now do the perfect re-enactment of the Zhōnghuá Zhǎn Wǔ, with tremendous strength and speed to back it up.[9] As noted by Johann Faust VIII who watched the fight, this attack has a risk added as one depletes more Furyoku by controlling two spirits at the same time.[2]
