Personality

Opacho has an incredibly pure-heart, and she loves and mostly respects only Hao above all things. This means that Opacho follows Hao almost everywhere he goes. She likes to speak in the third person. however She also sees Hao as a big brother figure, and Hao trusts her the most among all his followers. Most of the time she is always seen by his side. She is also seen to be protective of him as seen when John Denbat is about to fire the laser from a Satellite that was targeted towards Hao and John. Hao often confides in Opacho about his plans, as well as about Yoh and his power. She also loves to bathe.

History

Past

Opacho was born on February 20, 1996. She was a malnourished baby in South Africa and was about to die from starvation. She also suffered from famine and a disease and had been left alone to die. However, Asakura Hao found and saved her before the vultures could finish her off. Thanks to her near-death experience, strong shamanic powers awakened within her. She was later adopted and raised by Hao. As her new godfather Hao tried to named her "Ohachiyo", but since she could not pronounce it she called herself "Opacho", and her name was eventually changed.^[2]

Shaman Fights Second Round

Opacho makes her first appearance on the Patch Jumbo Jet Over Soul and later on is seen in the Patch Village. She is always seen hanging around Hao no matter where he goes.

Opacho is also part of Team "Hoshi-Gumi" in the Shaman Tournament, alongside Luchist Lasso, and takes part in their first fight against X-III. However, during this time neither she nor Luchist, does anything and allows her master to do all the hard work as he asked.

Invading the Plants

Opacho does not have much of a role inside the Patch Plants but does join Yoh's side. She is able to tell all the shamans inside where each officiant is and how they attack. This is shown when Tao Ren fights Magna and she told Ren exactly where and when he will be hit. Ren uses this knowledge to use a new attack that hits, instantly killing Magna in the progress.

When the group later arrives at the 6th plant of the Jungle, Opacho is awoken from her sleep form by the constant thoughts of Renim and decides to find and attack him, eventually using her Over Soul to ram into him and break all of the bones in his body.

Anime/Manga Difference

Like the manga series, she is one of Hao's closest allies and is always at his side. Although Opacho supports Hao loyally throughout the anime series, towards the end of the anime series (once Yoh's soul returns to his body), Opacho notes that Hao is being pushed back, to which Hao angrily glares out at her, horribly frightening her and causing her to sadly state that he isn't the same anymore, and she flees from him.

Trivia

The character's gender was inexplicably changed from female to male for the American manga and the 4Kids English dub, although was she voiced by a female voice actress in both Japanese and English.

In the Game Boy Advance game Shaman King Legacy of the Spirits, Sprinting Wolf, there is a spirit that has the head of Opacho and the body of a sheep.

-Although Opacho supports Hao loyally, near the final episodes of the anime series (once Yoh's soul returns to his body), Opacho notes that Hao has made a change for the worse and flees from him. Opacho's last anime appearance is in episode 64 when she is shown watching the Destiny Star fly by. She is one of the few survivors of Hoshi-gumi. It is questionable as to whether or not she is still loyal to Hao after the Shaman Tournament, and her true feelings for Hao remain a mystery.

-In the manga, however, Opacho is pretty close to Yoh's team. Hao even sends her to go convince Yoh to rejoin the Shaman Tournament (easily knocking Ryu senseless). She also eats lunch with them. When Hao leaves to be crowned Shaman King, she joins Yoh's party on trying to break into the king of spirit's throne. Opacho becomes a great ally to the group, helping them understand more about Hao.
