I Have A Darkness In My Heart (オレの心にゃ闇がある Ore no Kokoro nya Yami ga Aru) is the 50th episode of the 2001 Shaman King anime series.
Summary[]
As Team "The Ren" is taking a bath, they have a fight about who will be the strongest. Then, Nichrom shows up and tells Ren that he should be saved by Nyorai before he gets destroyed by darkness. Later on, Ren tells to his teammates that Nichrom is the younger brother of the Patch Officiant that he killed, Chrom. Meanwhile, Silva is seen watching Nichrom attending a girl with many more people. As he wonders what is going on, Hao shows up and tells him that the leader is Nyorai. She can control people by making them think that they are controlled by the darkness in their hearts. As Hao leaves the scene, however, Silva is attacked by unknown shadowy figures.
Meanwhile, Ren is going complete berserk since he is fighting his bad memories. After Ren collapses, Horohoro and Chocolove bring Ren to Nyorai. She states that Ren is about to be swallowed by the darkness in his heart as well. As Horohoro states that he has no darkness in his heart, Nyorai makes him realize thoughts about never being able to beat Yoh. Later on, as Horohoro and Chocolove come back to patch village, Horohoro starts attacking Yoh, but Anna stops him by summoning both Zenki and Goki. As everyone asks Chocolove what is going on, Chocolove remembers that Horohoro told him not to tell anything that has happened and leaves while stating that Team "The Ren" can take care of itself. Then, Team "The Ren"'s next match is announced.
Later on, Silva talks with Nichrom about Nyorai's praying. Chocolove interrupts the praying and states that Nyorai is making people think that they are saved. It is then revealed that Team "The Ren"'s next match is against Team "Dairedo"; however, Chocolove is the only one on his team who can fight properly. Horohoro attacks Ren and Chocolove after he hears Nyorai's chanting. As Ren states that Horohoro's heart was stolen by her, he states that he is not afraid of the darkness in his heart. Ren creates his big Over Soul but starts swinging wildly, hitting nothing, and Nichrom states that Ren cannot accept the darkness in his heart. As Nyorai states that Chocolove should just surrender, she makes him realize that he is not funny at all and nobody will ever laugh at his own jokes. Chocolove, however, is able to escape from Nyorai's talking and wakes Ren and Horohoro up with a joke. Team "The Ren" then dashes towards their opponents and destroy them. Chocolove then states that not believing in other people's hearts is Nyorai's weakness. Later on, Silva is wondering about the future of things.
