LoveMakesYouCrazy: Eliza's death made him go crazy, but when she comes back to him thanks to Anna, it also [[LoveRedeems redeems]] him too.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In 2001 anime, where he abandons Yoh's group without remorse, abandons Morphine, becomes very acidic towards Yoh after learning that he's Hao's twin and even [[spoiler:lures him in a trap as a bait for Hao]]. In manga and 2021 anime, he stays friendly towards Yoh and his friends even after defecting to X-LAWS, apologies for said defection, saves them number of times and never abandons Morphine, even specifically stating that she's like family to him.

!!Team Yoh

!!Team Len

!!Team Lily Five
[[folder:In General]]
!!Team Lily Five

A team of five female shamans of fairly weak ability who appears only in the 2001 anime. They initially attempt to hinder and take advantage of Yoh and his friends during the second round of the Shaman Tournament. Yoh holds no malice or ill-will towards them, unlike some of his friends. They eventually become allies of Yoh towards the end of the series.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: They may not be very powerful and they may have made some mistakes early on but... they really turned themselves around after they meet Yoh and the gang.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Sharona (blonde), Ellie and Millie (brunettes), and Sally (redhead).
* BreakTheCutie: All of them have been rejected or bullied because of their abilities to see ghosts.
* CanonForeigner: They only exist in the 2001 anime.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: They were rejected by their loved ones at some point in their lives. Millie (rejected by her mom) and Lilly (bullied by her classmates) are especially sad cases.
* GoldfishPoopGang: They're not very competent and only get by through the goodwill of stronger fighters and sheer luck.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: They manage pretty well during the tournament but then are pitted against Hao and more than likely will be killed if they go up against him. Yoh manages to convince the group to forfeit, sparing their lives.
* PluckyGirl: All of them, in spite of being vastly outclassed, these girls press forward with constant optimism. It takes the option of facing Hao for the heroes to finally step in to make them give up and even then, they had to be beaten out of their energy in order to make them quit.
* SmokingIsCool: Sorta: Sharona summons her guardian spirit via her pipe.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When they find out that they have to face Team Hao (which is a direct death sentence), Yoh decides to prevent them from fighting Hao unless they manage to hit him once. They succeed thanks to an AllYourPowersCombined technique with all their oversouls. Just as they finish celebrating it, Anna breaks to them that they wouldn't be able to do that technique against Hao if only three of them are allowed to be in a shaman fight. They decide to forfeit and technically be "[[ExactWords the only team scheduled to fight Team Hao and managed to survive.]]"
* WeakButSkilled: Okay maybe they're not ''that'' skilled but, they can be impressive when they put their hearts into it.

[[folder:Sharona]]
->Voiced by: Rumi Ochiai (Japanese), Creator/MeganHollingshead (English), Circe Luna (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharona_shaman_king.png]]

The leader of the group.

* TheLeader: She's the one who takes charge and is the most vocal spokesman of the group overall, being the one who organizes the group's schemes and whom the group was based on.
* OddNameOut: Her teammates' names end with "ly"/"lie" (pronounced the same), with Sharona being the odd one out. Lampshaded in their debut.

[[folder:Ellie]]
->Voiced by: Makoto Tsumura (Japanese), Creator/KerryWilliams (English), Aurora Mijangos (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ellie_shaman_king.png]]

A tomboy valley girl.

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: While girlish in looks and upbeat personality, she's just as tomboyish as Sally with a combat-oriented Guardian Ghost in the form of Kamaitachi/Chappy.

[[folder:Lilly]]
->Voiced by: Creator/YuiHorie (Japanese), Creator/AmyBirnbaum (English), Norma Echevarría (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lylli_shaman_king.png]]

The quiet navigator and genius of the group.

* BulliedIntoDepression: She was a victim of bullying once her powers were revealed. The girls' shared flashback shows her breaking down in tears when she finds insulting messages written on her classroom's board.
* DeadpanSnarker: As the most levelheaded of the girls, she always has something snarky to say.
* TheQuietOne: Lilly speaks little.
* StoicSpectacles: She's the most cool-headed and down-to-earth of the group, as well as the only member who wears glasses.

[[folder:Millie]]
->Voiced by: Miyako Itou (Japanese), Amy Palant (English), Lupita Leal (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/millie_shaman_king.png]]

The youngest and smallest member of the Lily Five and is frequently seen in the company of Ellie.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's the smallest and youngest member of her team.
* CheerfulChild: Millie is always happy and cheery, which makes it even harder to watch [[TenderTears when she cries]].
* TheHeart: She's the most emotional of the group. She serves as not only the heart of the group but also implied to be Lyserg's MoralityPet.
* HopelessSuitor: Millie, for "Prince" Lyserg. He treats her kindly and helps her out when he can, yes, but he simply cannot like her back in that way [[spoiler: and arguably one of his biggest KickTheDog moments is when he coldly dismisses the sobbing girl in front of everyone.]]
* TokenMiniMoe: She's the youngest member of the team.

[[folder:Sally]]
->Voiced by: Inuko Inuyama (Japanese), Dania Cericola (English), Elena Ramírez (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sally_shaman_king.png]]

The toughest and most impatient of the group.

* TheBigGirl: She's the most aggressive and physically oriented of the group with the tomboyish attitude to back it up. She's even described as the group's muscle. It's also reflected in her Guardian Ghost being a hammer that is used to bluntly attack targets.
* CleavageWindow: Her outfit has a diamond-shaped opening that shows off her cleavage.
* FieryRedhead: She's the most impatient and temperamental of the group.
* TheLancer: She's the designated driver and the confidant of Sharona, being the closest to her in age.

!!The X-Laws

[[folder: Iron Maiden Jeanne]]
-> Voiced by Creator/YuiHorie (Japanese), Creator/VeronicaTaylor (English), Creator/PatriciaAcevedo (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r_0.jpg]]

The leader of the X-Laws.

* AdaptationalVillainy: She never really has a proper HeelFaceTurn like in the manga and 2021 anime.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: And how. She considers Zeke irredeemably evil and thus has no problem with trying to defeat him by any means necessary.
* DarkMessiah: And she's a proper Messiah, [[spoiler: unlike the manga and 2021 anime where she's a FakeUltimateHero.]]
* HazyFeelTurn: Unlike her more straight HeelFaceTurn in the manga and 2021 anime.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Deconstructed. She's a prime example of PureIsNotGood.
* KnightTemplar: She will stop at nothing to stop Zeke. *Nothing.*
%%* IronLady: It's in her name.
%%* MysticalWhiteHair
%%* PimpedOutDress
* TrainingFromHell: The poor girl definitely received it to be in top form for destroying Zeke.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Like the X-Laws as a whole, she sees anything and everything as justified if it means defeating Zeke.
* WrongGenreSavvy: She sees herself as TheHero, or at ''least'' the BigGood. In reality she's a KnightTemplar and a secondary threat that the heroes must face.

[[folder: Marco]]
->Voiced by: Akimitsu Takase (Japanese), Creator/EricStuart (English), Esteban Desco (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marco_lasso_2001.png]]

A shaman from Sicily who is captain of the X-Laws and answers only to Jeanne, being extremely loyal and protective of her while resolute to achieve her ideals of a world free of corruption and evil.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged. From what we see, on one hand he treats Lyserg less severe in the 2001 anime than in the manga and 2021 anime, as in the latter it shows him slapping Lyserg at least twice and it's implied he also physically punishes him. On the other hand, unlike in the anime, he warms up to Lyserg when Hao starts his Star Festival and even does everything in his power to protect him, something that he never did in 2001 anime.
* AdaptationalModesty: The 2001 anime adapts out his [[{{Stripperiffic}} combat outfit]].
* SparedByAdaptation: While in the manga he dies in his fight against Luchist, and later gets revived along with many others after the Tournament, he never dies in the 2001 anime.

[[folder:Team X-II]]
->John Denbat is voiced by: Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (Japanese)
->Porf Griffith is voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese)
->Larch Dirac is voiced by: Tomohisa Asou (Japanese)

A trio composed of John Denbat, Porf Griffith, and Larch Dirac.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Larch is blonde in the manga and the 2021 anime, while the 2001 anime version had brown hair.
* DeathByAdaptation: While [[DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation they all die both in the manga and the 2001 anime]], ''Red Crimson'' reveals that Denbat got revived along Meene and some other members of the X-LAWS. In ''Marcos'', it's confirmed that all of them got revived as well and chose to stick to the X-LAWS after the Tournament.
* DemotedToExtra: In the 2001 anime, all of them have very minor roles, compared to the manga, where they have even more characterization than Team X-III.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the 2001 anime, they get killed by Hao's henchmen before Team X-III. In the manga, Team X-III die first, and after they discover the truth about the organization, the three of them form their own plan to exterminate Hao with the satelite.
** In the manga, Porf dies first, impaled by the Spirit of Fire, before he can alert his comrades. In the 2001 anime, Porf is killed when Hang Zang-Ching decapitates Sariel, while it crushes Porf with his own weapon.
** In the manga, Larch dies when he tries to run away from The Spirit of Fire, being burned to death. In the 2001 anime, he is killed by "Big Guy" Bill Burton and his guardian ghosts, who tackle down and knocked over Uriel, while being crushing Larch underneath the Archangel.
** In the manga, after Porf and Larch are killed, John activates the laser to target himself and kill Hao as collateral damage, however Hao managed to block the laser and survive the explosion around him, while John dies. In the 2001 anime, John is killed by Turbine shooting his laser beams through him and his archangel. ''Red Crimson'' later reveals that he got revived along some of his comrades.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: They are only {{Red Shirt}}s in the 2001 anime version.

[[folder:Team X-III]]
->Meene Montgomery is voiced by: Creator/TomokoKawakami (Japanese), Michelle Newman (English), Creator/RossyAguirre (Latin American Spanish)
->Chris Venstar is voiced by: Seiji Sasaki (Japanese), Matt Hoverman (English), Gustavo Carrillo (Latin American Spanish)
->Cebin Mendel is voiced by: Creator/WataruTakagi (Japanese), Creator/EricStuart (English)

A trio consisting of Venstar, Cebin, and Meene.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the 2001 anime, Meene is shown to be more sensitive than Marco and she appears and returns Morphine to a disillusioned Lyserg in the hopes that he will leave that group and not be killed as the rest of the surviving X-Laws attempt to defeat Hao.
* DeathByAdaptation: While they all die both in the manga and the 2001 anime, ''Marcos'' confirms that all of them got revived and chose to stick to the X-LAWS after the Tournament.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga, Meene is the first to die, by being impaled by one of the claws of the Spirit of Fire. In the 2001 anime, she is the last of the team to die, impaled by icicles from the Spirit of Fire (after Hao reveals that he learned how to shift elements)

!!Team Flower – Hana-Gumi
[[folder:General Tropes]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Zigzagged. In the 2001 anime, they are Hao's strongest minions while at the same time, the rest of the group is hit with AdaptationalWimp, especially Luchist. Whereas while they are very strong, they are outclassed by Luchist by a wide margin.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blamuro_2001.png]]

Boris' spirit companion.
-----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the manga, Blamuro is a VampireHunter who was captured and tortured to death by the Tepes family, after which he was forced to become Boris' guardian spirit. In the 2001 anime series, instead of being a spirit from 500 years ago, Blamuro died in more recent times. While hunting the last descendants of the Tepes family, he killed Boris' parents, but he then realized they weren't vampires. After that, he became Boris' guardian spirit as a way to atone for his sins.
* TheAtoner: Only in the 2001 anime, Blamuro was the VampireHunter who led the mob to kill Boris' parents. When he realized that they weren't vampires, he swore loyalty to Boris to atone for his crimes. In the manga, it seems more that he was tortured for his role while he was alive and in death is forced to serve. He is convinced by Amidamaru to abandon Boris and immediately moves onto the afterlife, having no reason to stay.

A team of five female shamans of fairly weak ability who appears only in the 2001 anime. They initially attempt to hinder and take advantage of Yoh and his friends during the second round of the Shaman Tournament. Yoh holds no malice or ill-will towards them, unlike some of his friends. They eventually become allies of Yoh towards the end of the series.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: They may not be very powerful and they may have made some mistakes early on but... they really turned themselves around after they meet Yoh and the gang.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Sharona (blonde), Ellie and Millie (brunettes), and Sally (redhead).
* BreakTheCutie: All of them have been rejected or bullied because of their abilities to see ghosts.
* CanonForeigner: They only exist in the 2001 anime.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: They were rejected by their loved ones at some point in their lives. Millie (rejected by her mom) and Lilly (bullied by her classmates) are especially sad cases.
* GoldfishPoopGang: They're not very competent and only get by through the goodwill of stronger fighters and sheer luck.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: They manage pretty well during the tournament but then are pitted against Hao and more than likely will be killed if they go up against him. Yoh manages to convince the group to forfeit, sparing their lives.
* PluckyGirl: All of them, in spite of being vastly outclassed, these girls press forward with constant optimism. It takes the option of facing Hao for the heroes to finally step in to make them give up and even then, they had to be beaten out of their energy in order to make them quit.
* SmokingIsCool: Sorta: Sharona summons her guardian spirit via her pipe.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When they find out that they have to face Team Hao (which is a direct death sentence), Yoh decides to prevent them from fighting Hao unless they manage to hit him once. They succeed thanks to an AllYourPowersCombined technique with all their oversouls. Just as they finish celebrating it, Anna breaks to them that they wouldn't be able to do that technique against Hao if only three of them are allowed to be in a shaman fight. They decide to forfeit and technically be "[[ExactWords the only team scheduled to fight Team Hao and managed to survive.]]"
* WeakButSkilled: Okay maybe they're not ''that'' skilled but, they can be impressive when they put their hearts into it.

[[folder:Sharona]]
->Voiced by: Rumi Ochiai (Japanese), Creator/MeganHollingshead (English), Circe Luna (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sharona_shaman_king.png]]

The leader of the group.

* TheLeader: She's the one who takes charge and is the most vocal spokesman of the group overall, being the one who organizes the group's schemes and whom the group was based on.
* OddNameOut: Her teammates' names end with "ly"/"lie" (pronounced the same), with Sharona being the odd one out. Lampshaded in their debut.

[[folder:Ellie]]
->Voiced by: Makoto Tsumura (Japanese), Creator/KerryWilliams (English), Aurora Mijangos (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ellie_shaman_king.png]]

A tomboy valley girl.

* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: While girlish in looks and upbeat personality, she's just as tomboyish as Sally with a combat-oriented Guardian Ghost in the form of Kamaitachi/Chappy.

[[folder:Lilly]]
->Voiced by: Creator/YuiHorie (Japanese), Creator/AmyBirnbaum (English), Norma Echevarría (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lylli_shaman_king.png]]

The quiet navigator and genius of the group.

* BulliedIntoDepression: She was a victim of bullying once her powers were revealed. The girls' shared flashback shows her breaking down in tears when she finds insulting messages written on her classroom's board.
* DeadpanSnarker: As the most levelheaded of the girls, she always has something snarky to say.
* TheQuietOne: Lilly speaks little.
* StoicSpectacles: She's the most cool-headed and down-to-earth of the group, as well as the only member who wears glasses.

[[folder:Millie]]
->Voiced by: Miyako Itou (Japanese), Amy Palant (English), Lupita Leal (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/millie_shaman_king.png]]

The youngest and smallest member of the Lily Five and is frequently seen in the company of Ellie.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's the smallest and youngest member of her team.
* CheerfulChild: Millie is always happy and cheery, which makes it even harder to watch [[TenderTears when she cries]].
* TheHeart: She's the most emotional of the group. She serves as not only the heart of the group but also implied to be Lyserg's MoralityPet.
* HopelessSuitor: Millie, for "Prince" Lyserg. He treats her kindly and helps her out when he can, yes, but he simply cannot like her back in that way [[spoiler: and arguably one of his biggest KickTheDog moments is when he coldly dismisses the sobbing girl in front of everyone.]]
* TokenMiniMoe: She's the youngest member of the team.

[[folder:Sally]]
->Voiced by: Inuko Inuyama (Japanese), Dania Cericola (English), Elena Ramírez (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sally_shaman_king.png]]

The toughest and most impatient of the group.

* TheBigGirl: She's the most aggressive and physically oriented of the group with the tomboyish attitude to back it up. She's even described as the group's muscle. It's also reflected in her Guardian Ghost being a hammer that is used to bluntly attack targets.
* CleavageWindow: Her outfit has a diamond-shaped opening that shows off her cleavage.
* FieryRedhead: She's the most impatient and temperamental of the group.
* TheLancer: She's the designated driver and the confidant of Sharona, being the closest to her in age.

!!The X-Laws

[[folder: Iron Maiden Jeanne]]
-> Voiced by Creator/YuiHorie (Japanese), Creator/VeronicaTaylor (English), Creator/PatriciaAcevedo (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r_0.jpg]]

The leader of the X-Laws.

* AdaptationalVillainy: She never really has a proper HeelFaceTurn like in the manga and 2021 anime.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: And how. She considers Zeke irredeemably evil and thus has no problem with trying to defeat him by any means necessary.
* DarkMessiah: And she's a proper Messiah, [[spoiler: unlike the manga and 2021 anime where she's a FakeUltimateHero.]]
* HazyFeelTurn: Unlike her more straight HeelFaceTurn in the manga and 2021 anime.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Deconstructed. She's a prime example of PureIsNotGood.
* KnightTemplar: She will stop at nothing to stop Zeke. *Nothing.*
%%* IronLady: It's in her name.
%%* MysticalWhiteHair
%%* PimpedOutDress
* TrainingFromHell: The poor girl definitely received it to be in top form for destroying Zeke.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Like the X-Laws as a whole, she sees anything and everything as justified if it means defeating Zeke.
* WrongGenreSavvy: She sees herself as TheHero, or at ''least'' the BigGood. In reality she's a KnightTemplar and a secondary threat that the heroes must face.

[[folder: Marco]]
->Voiced by: Akimitsu Takase (Japanese), Creator/EricStuart (English), Esteban Desco (Latin American Spanish)
[[quoteright:261:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marco_lasso_2001.png]]

A shaman from Sicily who is captain of the X-Laws and answers only to Jeanne, being extremely loyal and protective of her while resolute to achieve her ideals of a world free of corruption and evil.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged. From what we see, on one hand he treats Lyserg less severe in the 2001 anime than in the manga and 2021 anime, as in the latter it shows him slapping Lyserg at least twice and it's implied he also physically punishes him. On the other hand, unlike in the anime, he warms up to Lyserg when Hao starts his Star Festival and even does everything in his power to protect him, something that he never did in 2001 anime.
* AdaptationalModesty: The 2001 anime adapts out his [[{{Stripperiffic}} combat outfit]].
* SparedByAdaptation: While in the manga he dies in his fight against Luchist, and later gets revived along with many others after the Tournament, he never dies in the 2001 anime.

[[folder:Team X-II]]
->John Denbat is voiced by: Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi (Japanese)
->Porf Griffith is voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese)
->Larch Dirac is voiced by: Tomohisa Asou (Japanese)

A trio composed of John Denbat, Porf Griffith, and Larch Dirac.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Larch is blonde in the manga and the 2021 anime, while the 2001 anime version had brown hair.
* DeathByAdaptation: While [[DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation they all die both in the manga and the 2001 anime]], ''Red Crimson'' reveals that Denbat got revived along Meene and some other members of the X-LAWS. In ''Marcos'', it's confirmed that all of them got revived as well and chose to stick to the X-LAWS after the Tournament.
* DemotedToExtra: In the 2001 anime, all of them have very minor roles, compared to the manga, where they have even more characterization than Team X-III.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the 2001 anime, they get killed by Hao's henchmen before Team X-III. In the manga, Team X-III die first, and after they discover the truth about the organization, the three of them form their own plan to exterminate Hao with the satelite.
** In the manga, Porf dies first, impaled by the Spirit of Fire, before he can alert his comrades. In the 2001 anime, Porf is killed when Hang Zang-Ching decapitates Sariel, while it crushes Porf with his own weapon.
** In the manga, Larch dies when he tries to run away from The Spirit of Fire, being burned to death. In the 2001 anime, he is killed by "Big Guy" Bill Burton and his guardian ghosts, who tackle down and knocked over Uriel, while being crushing Larch underneath the Archangel.
** In the manga, after Porf and Larch are killed, John activates the laser to target himself and kill Hao as collateral damage, however Hao managed to block the laser and survive the explosion around him, while John dies. In the 2001 anime, John is killed by Turbine shooting his laser beams through him and his archangel. ''Red Crimson'' later reveals that he got revived along some of his comrades.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: They are only {{Red Shirt}}s in the 2001 anime version.

->Cebin Mendel is voiced by: Creator/WataruTakagi (Japanese), Creator/EricStuart (English)

A trio consisting of Venstar, Cebin, and Meene.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the 2001 anime, Meene is shown to be more sensitive than Marco and she appears and returns Morphine to a disillusioned Lyserg in the hopes that he will leave that group and not be killed as the rest of the surviving X-Laws attempt to defeat Hao.
* DeathByAdaptation: While they all die both in the manga and the 2001 anime, ''Marcos'' confirms that all of them got revived and chose to stick to the X-LAWS after the Tournament.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the manga, Meene is the first to die, by being impaled by one of the claws of the Spirit of Fire. In the 2001 anime, she is the last of the team to die, impaled by icicles from the Spirit of Fire (after Hao reveals that he learned how to shift elements)

[[folder: Zeke Asakura (Hao Asakura)]]

[[quoteright:318:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haozekeasakura.jpg]]

The main antagonist of the series, currently the second reincarnation of his original self.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Hao's sympathetic qualities are downplayed, if not removed, in the 2001 anime and he gets turned into a far more generic villain, [[spoiler:which makes it okay for Yoh to kill him in the end.]] He still has a slightly sympathetic backstory, but Yoh and his friends quickly conclude that it's no justification for his actions.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original version, Hao wins the access to the Great Spirit by winning the tournament (and partially because Yoh's plan included letting him win), while in the 2001 anime, Zeke decides to skip the tournament and steal the Great Spirit.
* AdaptationalWimp: Despite getting into the Great Spirit and his powers upgraded to godly levels, Zeke loses in the final 2001 anime's battle to Yoh (who does not get the spirit of Earth upgrade) in a straight battle and dies. In the original manga once he gains the Great Spirit, he is practically unstoppable and only after convincing him to stop does Hao finally diverts from his agenda.
* AxCrazy: Zeke is more deranged than his manga counterpart, especially as the story progresses.
* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:After absorbing Yoh's soul in the 2001 anime.]]
-->''It would take a million Asakura spirits to bind me now!''
* BigBad: He's the main villain of the anime.
* CainAndAbel: Cain to Yoh's Abel.
* CleanCut: [[spoiler:Yoh slices right through him, thus putting an end to his plans.]] [[spoiler:[[FateWorseThanDeath Of course that's probably nothing compared to what YVS did to him afterwards.]] After all, why else would it have taken so long for the Shaman tournament to start up again? YVS can be very, very cruel when he's angry, as later materials like ''Flowers'' show, and as the still incumbent [[PhysicalGod Shaman King]], pissing him off is a horrible idea. Even Enma won't be able to protect Hao this time.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler:Unlike the manga and 2021 anime, he does meet his end in the 2001 anime, when Yoh reaches an ultimate level of Oversoul and cleaves him in half.]]

* SanitySlippage: After the Spirit of Fire's O.S is destroyed and Opacho turns on him, he drops his AffablyEvil personality and becomes AxCrazy.
%%* StrawNihilist
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He starts dropping his AffablyEvil attitude and losing his temper the minute Yoh's allies talk about how their lives were made better thanks to him, and angrily shouts that he never existed without him in the first place. It gets even worse for him when Yoh comes back to life, and little by little his rage transforms into madness and he finally loses it completely when his Spirit of Fire's O.S. is destroyed and Opacho turns on him (see SanitySlippage above).]]
