Shaman Hunt (シャーマンハント Shāman Hanto) is the 51st episode of the 2001 Shaman King anime series.
Summary[]
Mikihisa breaks the paralysis that was cast on Silva during the fight between Team "The Ren" and Team "Dairedo". The next morning, the Lily Five are paralyzed by the same group that had attacked Silva. As the group somehow seals away the Lily Five's spirits, they state that they seem to know about Amidamaru and Yoh. Meanwhile, Anna is forcing Yoh to train more. As they ask Silva why they have not had a match lately, however, Silva tells them that shamans have been running away home lately. As they talk, they hear Ryu panicking. As Yoh and the others go outside, they see how Tokageroh gets sealed away. As Manta and Tamao search for Tokageroh, however, they bump into the Lily Five.
As Ryu is crying over the loss of Tokageroh, Amidamaru hears people talking about Guardian Ghosts that are getting sealed away. Meanwhile, the Lily Five tell Manta and Tamao about what happened while the mysterious group of three is watching. Then, one of the three group members takes over Manta somehow and makes Manta run away from everyone. As Yoh and the others hear the news, they find Manta creating a sword somewhere. As Yoh finds out that it is actually Mosuke that took over Manta, Fudou shows up and states that all spirits that possess shamans are evil and that Amidamaru is an evil spirit that should be sealed away. Angered by these comments, Johann Faust VIII attacks but his Over Soul, "Mephisto E", is restrained. As Fudou attacks Amidamaru, Yoh asks the samurai to Over Soul and then fight, but Amidamaru refuses. As Amidamaru gets blown away, Yoh grabs him and tries to change his mind.
Meanwhile, Anna is not able to help because the other two members of the group have captured Manta. As Yoh asks if Amidamaru is fine by being sealed, Amidamaru states that he cannot fight against them. As Yoh states that Amidamaru is his friend and not an evil spirit that possesses him, he asks Fudou what possesses him. Fudou then orders Manta to crush Yoh. Meanwhile, inside Manta, Manta and Mosuke decide to use Over Soul, and Mosuke becomes Manta's spirit for now. As Manta uses his laptop to Over Soul, he then attacks Fudou. Yoh and Amidamaru use O.S. "Spirit of Sword" and defeat Fudou, who realizes that Yoh is not being possessed. When Fudou tries to walk away, Mikihisa states that Fudou decided to fight spirits because he could not accept being possessed by them in the past.
Later on, as Yoh and the others walk home, Yoh yells to Mosuke, whom they believe to be inside the Great Spirit, that everyone is okay and fine. However, Mosuke is actually trapped inside Manta's laptop and does not know how to get out.
