History Awesome / ShamanKing

* Chapters 27-31/Episode 13, Yoh vs. Silva. How do you slice through a blast from a [[{{BFG}} 5-soul-powered Totem Cannon]]? Over Soul powered CELESTIAL SLASH!!

* How about in the manga where Manta, in order to get a sword for Yoh, beats up Ryu and Co. '''''[[MundaneMadeAwesome with his dictionary.]]''''' In the anime episode "Pai-Long Attacks!", this is changed to ''RYU'' and Co. saving Manta from the gang he was trying to get a sword from. They were both different, but still awesome nonetheless.

* And the biggest moment of awesome in the first anime? Yoh and Hao's final fight in the anime. By this point, Hao and the Spirit of Fire are being powered up by the poached King of Spirits, making them seemingly unbeatable. What's Yoh and Amidamaru powered up by? '''''The combined furyoku of all the shamans in the world.''''' Needless to say, it was totally wicked.

** Don't forget the rest of Yoh's friends attempts to stop Hao.

* Episode 13, Yoh vs. Silva. How do you slice through a blast from a [[{{BFG}} 5-soul-powered Totem Cannon]]? Over Soul powered CELESTIAL SLASH!!

* "Wooden Sword" Ryu revealing a new form of his Tokagero Over Soul and just utterly ''wrecking'' Boris Tepes {{Dracula}} with it. Immediately before doing that, Boris tries to gank Ryu while he doesn't have enough time to turn around or draw his sword. Ryu's response is to [[OffhandBackhand backhand Boris in the face]] and tell the punk that he's a street fighter first, swordsman second.

** Yoh and Ren beating Lee Pyron's Dragon form.

** And Yoh and Amidamaru proceed to do what couldn't be done in the manga; ''they kill Hao by'' '''''[[CleanCut slicing him and the Spirit of Fire in half with a single slash.]]''''' After pretty much all the crap Hao and his disciples did, all the innocent people, shaman and human alike, killed, all to use their spirits to fuel the Spirit of Fire, all the destruction they caused, all the lives they ruined, all to execute that psychopath's plan for mass genocide, seeing the architect of it all finally going down is absolutely nothing ''short'' of cathartic. Of course, that's ''nothing'' compared to what the King of Spirits did to him after the battle was over. After all, how else can you explain it taking so long to start the tournament back up?

** To put it simply, Hao now has a map of the Star Sanctuary, where the King of Spirits resides, thanks to [[FaceHeelTurn Nichrom and Zinc]], and his final plan is to basically say "[[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers Screw the Tournament, I've got a map, my disciples, and the Spirit of Fire!]]", break into the Star Sanctuary and illegally become the Shaman King by taking the King of Spirits by force. What do Yoh and his friends, including Silva and Kalim, do? [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight Why, drop everything and do everything in their power to stop them, of course!]]

* Yoh and the Elemental Warriors return from Hell. Special points go to Yoh for unleashing his new Over Soul, Spirit of Sword: White Swan on the same person who beat Hao 500 years ago; [[spoiler: Yohken Asakura]] and Faust reviving him to do the same to Big Bill, Zhang-Ching and Turbine, and Team Ren coming back to stop Hana-Gumi from killing Gandhara.

** When both factions enter the Star Sanctuary, Hao's given pretty much all of his disciples sans Opacho the kind of furyoku he has, as in ''over 1,250,000'', to "keep Yoh and his friends occupied", which translates to ''kill them''. And judging from [[CurbStompBattle all of Hao's fights that weren't against Yoh,]] all of Hao's disciples expect Yoh and the gang to go down within milliseconds. '''AND THEY ALL STILL LOSE.''' Yoh uses his smaller GSC to easily defeat Kanna, Matilda and Marion, Silva and Kalim take down Nichrom and Zinc with a combined explosion from both their Totem Cannons, and despite Bill going down early thanks to not being able to handle Hao's furyoku, Luchist, Peyote, Zang-Ching, Turbine and Brocken go down to Len's smaller GSC after Ryu, Faust and Joco bring him back, with Trey and Lyserg defending them. Yoh and his friends didn't defeat the [[SmugSuper Smug Shamans]] that form Hao's brotherhood. '''''THEY FUCKING ANNIHILATED THEM.'''''

** In the beginning of the final stretch, Yoh teaching Len how to properly use Giant Spirit Control by channeling it into a smaller, yet stronger form. Yoh taught Len. '''THE HARD WAY'''.

** Yoh defending Boris from the X-Laws. Heck, he even has the stones to tell them that if they're going to kill Yoh just for stopping them from killing Boris, [[NotSoDifferent then they're all no better than Hao himself.]] Cue them all in rage pulling out their Archangels, showing full intent on killing Yoh for saying that to them. And he still stands there, sword and Amidamaru ready. Cue Boris TakingTheBullet for Yoh, thanking him for his kindness. It becomes a TearJerker thanks to his backstory, and Lyserg joining the X-Laws afterward, but still.

** The anime expanded on this fight in episode 36, the only difference from above is that Ryu and Horohoro comboed him. The best part of the fight came with the group's BatmanGambit. Boris' spirit partner has possessed Lyserg (though he fights off long enough to ask Yoh to finish him off). Meanwhile, his bat spirits have a bunch of sharp spikes above Ren, Trey, and Ryu, and if any of them make a move, the spikes will fall on them. So how do they get out of this one? Yoh lets Lyserg bite him, but it turns out that he and Amidamaru performed Spirit Unity "BEFORE" the fight and Amidamaru captures Boris' spirit partner freeing Lyserg as well. Enraged, Boris has the bats drop the spikes, only for Ryu and Trey to grab and freeze the spikes, leaving Ren to finish of Boris with a Rapid Temp Assault.

* Episode 13, Yoh vs. Silva. How do you slice through a blast from a [[{{BFG}} 5 souled powered Totem Cannon Blaster]]? Over Soul powered CELESTIAL SLASH!!

* How about in the manga where Manta, in order to get a sword for Yoh, beats up Ryu and Co. with [[MundaneMadeAwesome his dictionary!!!]] In the anime episode "Pai-Long Attacks!", this is changed to ''RYU'' and Co. saving Manta from the gang he was trying to get a sword from. They were both different, but still awesome nonetheless.

** [[BadassCrew Yoh, and every single one of his friends,]] '''''especially''''' [[TheTeamNormal Manta,]] '''''[[ShutUpHannibal absolutely shutting down everything]]''''' [[ShutUpHannibal that comes out of Hao and his disciples' mouths.]] Manta isn't even fighting them; he's trailing Hao and Opacho after accidentally finding them thinking Hao was Yoh ([[AlwaysIdenticalTwins to be fair, can you blame him?]]). Keep in mind, Manta isn't that strong a shaman, doesn't have a lot of furyoku, has seen what Hao is capable of, has seen the scope of the ruthlessness that Hao and his disciples employ, and is very much aware that Hao can burn him alive and have the Spirit of Fire eat his soul if or when he wants to. '''''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu And even then, Manta still has the balls to call Hao delusional and the absolute worst thing to ever happen to this planet.]]''''' [[IgnoredEpiphany Of course, Hao doesn't listen, and his disciples still constantly spout]] [[MightMakesRight Hao's rhetoric,]] but it's the thought that counts. Also, when Hao's goons constantly tell them of [[FinalSolution Hao's plan when he becomes the Shaman King]], they straight-up say he won't be the Shaman King, because Yoh will stop him. They have that much faith in Yoh to know he'll win the fight against Hao, and considering what happens next? It was something to savor.

* Hell, just '''every single time''' a shaman, Yoh and his friends and the X-Laws included, meets Hao and is offered a chance to become one of his disciples [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu fearlessly refuses to join him in his quest and tears him apart for the self-serving piece of crap he truly is.]] Sure, it gets some of them killed and transformed into literal soul food for the Spirit of Fire, but still.
