The Spirit of Earth (スピリット・オブ・アース Supiritto Obu Asu) is one of the Five Grand Elemental Spirits that was created by the Great Spirit itself. Asakura Yoh inherits it due to his connection with metal.[2]

About[]

Spirit of Eeath, Spirit Ball V

Spirit Ball Mode

The Spirit of Earth is one of five powerful elemental spirits known as the Grand Elemental Spirits of the Patch Tribe. They are derived from the Great Spirit itself, and like it, constitute a collective of souls. Their power is unmatched by any other spirit, except for the Great Spirit itself. Like the Spirit of Fire, the Spirit of Earth has the ability to become stronger by consuming souls.[3]

The Spirit of Earth has a cockpit on its back, which can be shifted to the top of its head, allowing a person to ride within it.[4][5]

After Hao stole the Spirit of Fire, the Patch Tribe hid the other Grand Elemental Spirits to prevent them from being stolen as well. Within the depths of hell, the Spirit of Earth was guarded by Enma Daioh, one of the rulers of Hell. Before the finals of the Shaman Fight 2000 in Tokyo, Sati Saigan and Team "Myooh" went to Hell to retrieve the Five Elemental Spirits and deliver them to the Five Elemental Warriors.[6] Sati succeeded in defeating Enma and freeing the Spirit of Earth for Asakura Yoh.[7]

After the final fight, Yoh kept the Spirit of Earth.[8]

Oversouls and Attacks[]

O.S. Spirit of Earth[]

O.S

O.S: Spirit of Earth

O.S. Spirit of Earth (O.S. スピリット・オブ・アース)
  • Shaman: Asakura Yoh
  • O.S. Type: Spirit Type
  • Spirit Ally: Spirit of Earth (Kami Class Spirit)
  • Medium: Earth

Description: When Over Souled by Asakura Yoh, it gains its entire body. Its movements seem to follow that of Yoh himself. The Spirit of Earth can also manipulate gravity, enough to counter the gravity of a black hole and allow those who are affected by the Spirit of Earth's gravity to move freely.[4]


Attacks
  • Attraction (引力アトラクション Atorakushon): This attack relies upon the principle of using the significant gravitational forces generated by the real Earth's large mass, altering the trajectory of incoming attacks to avoid damage. As such, the technique acts as an effective defensive move, even protecting from the large number of meteors that the O.S. Great Spirit can produce.[4]

Anime/Manga Difference[]

The Spirit of Earth does not appear in the 2001 anime series, as Spirit of Fire appears to be a single, powerful entity under the Patch's control rather than a member of this group, though it was mentioned that there were four other spirits worshiped by the Patch other than the Spirit of Fire.[9]

Trivia[]

Spirit of Earth Spirit Ball Mode

Spirit of Earth's original Spirit Ball Mode

  • When its Spirit Ball Mode first appeared, its only distinctive feature was the pattern on its head. This was later changed on the cover of Shaman King The Super Star Volume 1, where its shoulder armor was added.
  • In the comic, Japanese name of Spirit of Earth (スピリット・オブ・アース) can be seen on the spirit's back in some scenes.[10]
  • In the first chapter of Shaman King The Super Star, a presumed clone of Spirit of Earth was depicted to be yellowish in coloration and has slightly different look.[5]
