Summary[]
As Manta is seen running away, Lee Pyron continuously attacks Yoh. while Manta is searching for a weapon to help Yoh out. a group of bikers drives down the street. One of the bikers has a wooden sword with him. After Manta stops the group of bikers and asks them if he could borrow their wooden sword, he gets completely beaten by the bikers. As Manta is about to be smashed to the ground, just then Ryu appears and stops the bikers from hurting Manta. As the group of bikers turns to face Ryu, Ryu easily beats them all. Meanwhile, Yoh gets kicks and punches from Pyron. As Pyron lands a very powerful blow on Yoh's back, Tao Jun gives him one more chance to give Amidamaru, which he refuses. As Yoh takes another powerful blow, Manta and Ryu finally show up. Manta turns to Yoh and gives him the wooden sword that he obtained. Manta states that he wanted to help because Yoh is fighting to save his hero.
As Jun later orders Pyron to destroy Yoh, Yoh dashes towards Pyron with the wooden sword as his weapon. As Yoh blocks Pyron's attack, Jun is impressed and states that Yoh's movements are different than before. When Yoh quickly attacks Pyron with "Amida-Ryū: Shinkū Budda Giri", the talisman that was controlling him is sliced in half. As Pyron comes to his senses and later sees his movie poster, he is confused and can't remember what happened the last 17 years. As he breaks the glass with his fist. from his movie poster in his anger, he finds out that he can't feel any pain. As Jun tells him that he is dead and should follow her orders, Pyron remembers that he was killed by the Tao Family. When Tao throws a new talisman towards him, Pyron is able to grab it and destroy the talisman before it reaches him. Pyron loses his anger towards Jun since he had lost everything because of her. As Pyron goes completely berserk, he tries to attack Jun multiple times in his rage. As Pyron is about to land a deadly blow on her. Yoh later shows up and blocks his attack. As Jun is surprised that Yoh saved her, Yoh tells Pyron that revenge won't solve any of his problems. Pyron starts to attack Yoh out of anger.
As Jun states that there is no way of defeating Pyron, Anna tells her to take responsibility and think of someone that was able to defeat Pyron. Jun, Anna, and Manta come to the conclusion that the only one that Pyron could not defeat was his master, Shamon. Meanwhile, Ryu still can't understand what is going on. As Jun says that Shamon is already dead, Anna tells her that she is a spiritualistic medium. Anna recalls Shamon's spirit and fuses it in Yoh's body. Pyron starts furiously attacking Yoh multiple times but Yoh, who is now being controlled by Shamon, easily dodges all of Pyron's attacks. As Yoh tells Pyron that his movements are weak because he is furious, Pyron starts attacking again. After Yoh dodges all attacks again, he attacks Pyron with Shamon's Shadow Fist. Yoh then tells him to abandon his fury and that he had not lost everything. Pyron attacks him again but Yoh easily dodges the attacks just like before. Yoh uses Shamon's Sou Jyu Ken attack and beats Pyron. As Pyron falls to the ground, Shamon tells him that this is his last lesson to him.
Later on, when Pyron wakes up, his soul and Shamon's have a conversation in which Pyron apologizes for his bad behavior and Shamon states that Yoh was the one to thank. Shamon also tells him that his Dǎodàn-do should be used to protect others and will live on in the people's hearts even though he is dead. As Jun walks away and Anna asks her if she is going to abandon Pyron just like this, Jun states that she was wrong and didn't know anything about Pyron at all. After she tells Anna that Yoh is a great person and she has no right to keep Pyron, Pyron turns to Jun and tells her that he wants to keep persevering his dreams, even if it is in the form of a Jiang Shi. After shocking everyone, Pyron decides to stay with Jun's side. As she agrees to keep him, without any talismans this time. As Jun and Pyron leave the scene, later Ryu is seen being extremely impressed by shamans.
Later on, Tao Ren is seen on the top of a building. As he saw the whole fight and states that he will not let Yoh stand in his way any longer.

Differences from the Manga[]

- Ryu's inspiration to become a shaman after watching the fight came sooner unlike later in the manga.
