{{Nihongo|'''Sati Saigan'''|サティ・サイガン}} is a fictional character in the ''[[Shaman King]]'' manga and anime series. She is the leader of the [[Gandhara]] group, one of the three great powers in the [[Shaman Fight]]s. She is also the team leader of Team "Nyorai".

In secret, she is a top-ranking member of [[Daremoine]].<ref name="Super Star 34">''Shaman King Manga'' - The Super Star Chapter 34</ref> After finally meeting with [[Team YVS]], [[Lucifer]] renames her {{Nihongo|'''Saigan Sachi'''|西岸サチ}}.<ref name="Super Star 35">''Shaman King Manga'' - The Super Star Chapter 35</ref>

==Appearance==
[[File:Sachi.png|thumb|left|150px|10-year-old Sati]]
Sati has long red-brown hair and typically wears an orange dress, probably like [[Daiei]] does, as do Buddhist monks. She also wears a crown, as she is apparently a princess and high ranking female monk in the [[Gandhara]] order, with a long veil and holds a staff, as carrying medium for her spirit [[Dainichi Nyorai]].

Her casual clothing consists only of a simple two parted white dress.

==Personality==
As normally attributed to Buddhist monks, serenity, inner peace, and meditation should be part of daily life. So, she is no different, as she is serene, peaceful, and seems to be very calm. She heavily believes in a nonviolent approach. She is also very polite and is the only one addressing [[Umemiya Ryunosuke|"Wooden Sword" Ryu]] as Ryunosuke, his birth name.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 240</ref>

As a child, Sati's personality was somewhat the opposite of what it now is as a grown woman. She was rather short-tempered, was shown to have outbursts when annoyed, and was also rather reckless. However, she was also willing to help others, like [[Kado]], whom she intended to try and "cure" from his greed back then.<ref name="Zero">''Shaman King Manga'' - Zero Chapters 9-11</ref>

==Abilities and Powers==
As a child, Sati inadvertently summoned the spirits of various bodhisattva as numerous [[Over Soul]]s and continuously maintained them for multiple years. This served as extreme training that increased her [[furyoku]].<ref name="Zero" /> Like the rest of [[Gandhara]], she has undergone training in [[Commune#Hell|Hell]] to strengthen her soul and increase her furyoku, as well as befriending spirits there.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 234</ref> The Buddhistic spirits of Gandhara also have furyoku-nullification abilities, enabling the hosting [[shaman]]s to win battles with minimal violence.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 221</ref>

===Spirit===
:''See More:'' [[Dainichi Nyorai]] | [[Butsu Zone]] | [[Moloch]]

Sati's first and main [[Guardian Ghost]] is '''Dainichi Nyorai''', who is initially manifested through a wooden statue of Senju Kannon.<ref name="Super Star 28">''Shaman King Manga'' - The Super Star Chapter 28</ref> During the [[Shaman Fight]], Sati channels him through a wansen (Buddhist armlet). With Dainichi, she is able to revive the dead<ref name="ch192">''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 192</ref><ref name="ch252">''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 252</ref> and to send souls to Hell.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 233</ref>

==History==
===Past===
Sati originates from Tokyo, Japan and was born on December 31, 1963. When she was a child, she came to a temple that held a wooden statue of Senju Kannon and talked to it about the injustice in the world, until she was interrupted by the landowners of the temple. She was interrupted by three men claiming to be land sharks and who would throw her out unless she paid them.  When Sati attempted to defend the statue and the temple, the landowners offered to take her instead because the statue was worthless. Before they could hurt Sati, [[Dainichi Nyorai]] spoke up. Slowly breaking through the statue of Senju Kannon, he threatens to beat the men up with his thousand hands, which scares the three men away.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Remix Track 11</ref>

===Shaman Fight Second Round===
[[File:Sati saves Ryu.png|thumb|210px|Sati protects Ryu from Peyote.]]
As [[Peyote Diaz]] and [[Mohamed Tabarsi|Turbine]] fought and mortally wounded [[Umemiya Ryunosuke]], Sati and Gandhara arrived and attacked Peyote, as well as subsequently reviving Ryu.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 189</ref> Sati explained that although they do not like fighting and killing, they came to help Ryu because they received [[Asakura Yoh]]'s kind and pure-hearted prayer, and she told Ryu to go thank Yoh. With their job done, Sati and Gandhara prepared to leave.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 190; Page 11-12</ref>

Later that night, Ryu brought the deceased [[Chocolove McDonnell]] and members of [[Shaft]] to Sati so she could revive them.<ref name="ch192" /><ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 200</ref> At Chocolove's request, Gandhara also took away his eyesight.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 207</ref>

The next day, Sati and her team, "Nyorai", faced off against and easily defeated [[Team "Haiti 800"]], dissolving their Zombie Soldiers.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 208</ref>

The next day, Sati and the rest of Gandhara watched as Team "Myooh" faced off against [[Team "The Ren"]].<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 220</ref> As the match ended, Sati thanked the [[BoZ Brothers]] and [[Tao Jun]] for the information they had provided since it confirmed the boys' qualities to be the [[Five Elemental Warriors]].<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 227</ref>

[[File:Sati sends Yoh to Hell.png|thumb|left|210px|Sati sends Yoh's soul to Hell for training.]]
Sati and most of Gandhara then sought out [[Team "Funbari Onsen"]], who were training at one of the island's ports. As part of the preparation for the Warriors, Sati challenged [[Asakura Yoh]] to a fight, but the [[X-Laws]]' attack on Hao forced her to rush the plan. She killed Yoh with a strike and then sent the boy's soul directly to [[Commune#Sanjiva|Sanjiva]] for training.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapters 231-234</ref> Sati explained her plan to Ryu and [[Johann Faust VIII]]: to steal the [[Five Grand Elemental Spirits]] and give them to the Five Elemental Warriors, who will ambush Hao while he is sleeping to become the [[Shaman King (title)|Shaman King]]. Having overheard Sati's plan, [[Namari]] warned her and Ryu about challenging the Patch Officiants. He then announced that X-II's members were dead so Team "Nyorai" would be fighting [[Team "Kabbalahers"]] next.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapters 237-238</ref>

[[File:Zang-Ching kills Sati.png|thumb|Hang Zang-Ching kills Sati.]]
[[Team "Tsuki-Gumi"]] then brought the news that all of the X-Laws were dead and that Lyserg's and Jeanne's had been blown up. [[Hang Zang-Ching]] mocked Gandhara's foiled plan and threatened to destroy Yoh's body as well. Ryu wanted to kill Zang-Ching, but Sati stood in Ryu's way and insisted that he not kill anyone. However, this left her open to Zang-Ching stabbing her in the back and killing her.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapters 239-241</ref> After Team "Tsuki-Gumi" killed the rest of Gandhara, Johann revived Yoh and then Sati. Yoh singlehandedly defeated Team "Tsuki-Gumi", and then Hao's followers were all called away.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapters 245-246</ref>

Sati brought Jeanne's body to the village and revived her so they both could begin reviving the fallen Gandhara members. Team "Myooh" brought news about the success of Team "The Ren". Although Lyserg had not returned yet, Sati announced that they would continue with their plan to retrieve that Grand Elemental Spirits.<ref name="ch252" />

After reviving Lyserg, Sati and Jeanne accompanied him to the Patch Stadium, where they interrupted the match between Teams "Funbari Onsen" and "The Ren". Sati announced the withdrawals of Teams "Nyorai" and "Kabbalahers" and return of X-I, bringing an end to the main tournament since there were only four teams remaining.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 257</ref>

===Invading the Plants===
[[File:Sati faces Enma.png|thumb|left|210px|Sati faces Enma Daioh.]]
While the Five Elemental Warriors were fighting their way through the [[Patch Tribe]] on [[Mū]], Sati was in Hell and confronted [[Enma Daioh]] who was the guardian of the [[Spirit of Earth]].<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapter 285</ref> Despite the two knowing each other for long time, Enma Daioh was bound by the contract with the Patch Tribe and refused Sati's request to turn over the Spirit of Earth, so she had no choice but to fight the king.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Kang Zeng Bang Volume 26 Extras, Shaman File 337</ref>

By the next morning, all four Grand Elemental Spirits had been retrieved, and the Gandhara members boarded the [[Amneris|Sphinx]] so they could deliver the spirits to Mū. However, before they reached the underwater continent, Hao awoke as the Shaman King and destroyed the Sphinx and everyone inside it.<ref>''Shaman King Manga'' - Chapters 295-297</ref>

===Flowers===
Following the Shaman Fight, Sati and [[Asakura Yohken]] trained [[Tamamura Tamao]] and made her into a powerful shaman.<ref>'' Shaman King Manga'' - Kang Zeng Bang Volume 27 Extras; Shaman File 349</ref>

In August 2014, Sati visits [[Funbari Onsen]] and revives [[Asakura Hana]]'s body so that the boy can finish recruiting [[Sakurai Sakutaro]]. Afterwards, Sati talks with Tamao and asks her to join another team for the [[Flower of Maize]], but Tamao refuses due to her loyalty to the [[Asakura Family]]. As Tamao is questioning Sati's past decision to drop out of the Shaman Fight, they are interrupted by Dainichi reminding Sati about their train to Kyoto, Japan. As she leaves, Sati expresses her wish to fight alongside Tamao in the future.<ref name="Super Star 28" />

[[File:Niaes stabs Sati.png|thumb|Sati is stabbed by Niaes.]]
In Kyoto Tower, Sati meets with the rest of Team YVS so that Dainichi can be reunited with the rest of Lucifer.<ref name="Super Star 34" /> Sati greets the others and then apologizes to [[Kamogawa Yohsuke]] for her absence. Lucifer thanks her for returning his final piece;<ref name="Super Star 35" /> however, inspired by Sati's wish to save everyone, Dainichi attempts to fight against Lucifer.<ref name="Super Star 36">''Shaman King Manga'' - The Super Star Chapter 36</ref> After Senju is defeated and Sati is mocked for his failure, she reveals that it was not a rebellion, but a prayer for their happiness of everyone present and what she learned on her journey in life. When [[Niaes Varge]] stabs Sati with her Over Soul and mocks her beliefs, Sati tells Nias that she still believes in a world where everyone can be happy.<ref name="Super Star 39">''Shaman King Manga'' - The Super Star Chapter 39</ref>

==Anime/Manga Difference==
Sati does not appear in the 2001 anime series adaptation and was replaced by Lady [[Nyorai]], an anime original character who shares a similar background and appearance to Sati.

Another shaman, by the name of [[Gekkou]] also has resembled of Lady Sati, though a much of a more mature look, as Sati appears in the manga series. However, Gekkou appears to be a Shinto Miko and accompanies two other shamans, [[Fudou]], a young red-haired boy, and [[Nikkou]], an elderly man.

==Trivia==
*Sati's name and much of her history are based on the protagonist of [[Hiroyuki Takei]]'s manga series [[wikipedia:Butsu Zone|''Butsu Zone'']]. She was foretold to awaken in the year 1999. She also had a companion, an Itako Princess named Anna, who was later adapted into [[Anna Y. Kyouyama]].
