12	!!Hana Asakura
13	->Voiced by: Creator/YokoHikasa (Japanese), Creator/BriannaKnickerbocker (English, child), Alex Delint (Latin American Spanish)
14	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hana_asakura_flowers.png]]
15	[[Characters/ShamanKing Yoh and Anna's]] son. Already able to use an Oversoul, he's more powerful than Yoh was at his age, but dissatisfied with living in his father's shadow in the supposedly peaceful era after the Shaman Fight. His initial spirit is [[Characters/ShamanKing Amidamaru]], but after Amidamaru is captured by Yosuke, Hao sets up a [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII WWII pilot]] named Sakurai as a replacement.
16	----
17	* AnimeHair: Spiky brown/tan hair to be specific. It's a bit wild too.
18	* BackFromTheDead: Many people have died and come back in this series. Hana is no exception, [[spoiler:starting from when he was revived after being blown up as a baby, and in ''The Super-Star'', where he seems to have returned from his time in the Asura Realm.]]
19	* {{BFS}}: The offensive form of his oversoul "Oni Kabuto" which is a demonic look-alike of Yoh's OS Byakko.
20	* BloodKnight: His idea of a good time is picking a fight with a street gang. [[spoiler:He loves to fight so much that when he died, he ended up in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_realm#Asura_Realm the Asura realm]], the fighters' heaven.]]
21	* BornInTheWrongCentury: He's always itching for a fight and is the type to confront strong people which would have him perfect for something like the Shaman Tournaments. Unfortunately for him, he's born after the Shaman Fights so the only thing he can do to vent out his lust for battle is to beat thugs, which Amidamaru reluctantly helps him with and comments on. He's thus ''quite'' happy to learn that there is an after-Shaman Fight, the Flower of Maize, that he can participate in.
22	* CantCatchUp: Some people say he's stronger than his father at his age. The thing is, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Yoh has grown stronger]]. [[spoiler:Hana couldn't even defeat a 16-year-old Yoh, which destroyed the little pride he had left]].
23	* CaringGardener: While his attitude doesn't really fit the caring part, he's shown tending to his plants in his veranda, hinting that he has a softer side. Redseb apparently was the one who taught him how to care for plants.
24	* CharacterDevelopment: No real word on it yet, but Chapter 6 of ''The Super-Star'' [[spoiler:confirms that Hana has returned from the Asura Realm, and he seems a tad calmer than before. Jury's still out on how ''much'' he's changed in between the two series though.]]
25	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Unlike the calm, easygoing Yoh, Hana is hot-tempered and brash, and where Yoh didn't particularly like fighting, Hana relishes in the act. And while Yoh notably was able to befriend many of his opponents or at least establish some commonality with them, Hana is outwardly crabby and doesn't really care about the motivations of his opponents. However, as one looks deeper, [[LikeFatherLikeSon he and his father are bit more similar than one might think...]]
26	* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Has brown eyes to match his hair.
27	* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler:Consider Yoh's line of work requires him and Anna to travel to war-torn countries and how taking Hana to one got him ''killed'', yes there is a very good reason why he and Anna are absent from Hana's daily life.]]
28	* DefenceMechanismSuperpower: After a close encounter with death, [[spoiler:Hana was given by Hao the same Oni Anna used to create; they will be released whenever Hana's life is in danger. Since this power is just a defense mechanism, using it intentionally would kill him. And it does.]]
29	* DelinquentHair: Messy and blond.
30	* DisappearedDad: [[Characters/ShamanKing Yoh]] has never been a part of his life, just like how Mikihisa has never been a part of Yoh's. Unlike Yoh who is indifferent to his father, Hana resents and develops a complex to him due to hearing stories of how powerful his father is and leaving him alone.
31	* {{Dismotivation}}: Doesn't see how studying will help him become a better shaman. In fact, he doesn't see how doing ''anything'' in modern society will help him at all, period. With [[OmnicidalManiac Hao as the Shaman King]], and Hana's own spiritual powers giving him an insight into normal people he doesn't ''want'' to have insight to, he has barely any motivation to engage with his peers, or anyone, outside of combat.
32	* FamilyThemeNaming: His name is a union of his parents' names; "Hana" is formed by taking 葉 (Yoh's name) which can be pronounced as ha and ナ (na) from Anna's name.
33	* FatalFlaw: His [[HairTriggerTemper temper]], arrogance, and [[BloodKnight willingness to fight]] proves to be his undoing on several occasions, starting with [[spoiler:Amidamaru being captured by YVS, followed by his defeat to Ibuki and Namaha, and ending with his fight with Men, where he jumps into conflict each time, refusing to heed reason and relying on the onis despite the fact that they will kill him if used consciously. The fight with Men is where these flaws literally turn fatal.]]
34	* FriendlessBackground: His knowledge of the spirit world and jerkass attitude makes it hard for him to care about the things his classmates do.
35	* GenderBlenderName: "Hana" normally is a female name.
36	* GenerationXerox: He's basically a 14-year-old male version of his mother Anna.
37	* HairTriggerTemper: The boy gets into unnecessary trouble because he can't control his temper. [[spoiler:He weaponizes it when he uses his anger to forcefully summon the Oni that are only supposed to appear when his life is on the line.]]
38	* HasAType: He says out loud that he [[BuxomBeautyStandard prefers women with big breasts]]. Naturally, his fiancé's [[ACupAngst flat as a board and is not amused hearing it]].
39	* HiddenDepths: An early chapter reveals that he considers modern-day society to be full of too much malice and hatred, hence his dislike of it. This is due to his spiritual abilities giving him the ability to sense underlying emotions and intent, which he isn't a fan of.
40	* HumblePie: [[spoiler:After being beaten by 16-year old Yoh, he's thrown into the Asura realm, and after an encounter with Sakurai, gets beaten by Yosuke's Obelisk card, upon which he gets to relive the dogfight that killed Sakurai and his squad. The latter...proves fairly introspective for him once he starts seeing other people's motivations in life.]]
41	* IJustWantToBeBadass: Wants to be a great fighter like those in the previous Shaman Fight. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor He's getting his wish.]] And happy about it too.
42	* ImprovisedWeapon: Occasionally wields a grave marker in place of a sword.
43	* {{Jerkass}}: Hana is not the nicest kid on the block. He's generally rude to a lot of people, including his family, hates modern society, and is very willing to engage in combat.
44	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Many of his memories appear to have been erased by YVS after an attack on the Patch Village.]]
45	* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Shows up in the finale of the 2021 anime.
46	* LikeFatherLikeSon:
47	** It might not be obvious due to their contrasting outward personalities (and Hana would likely try to kill you if you brought up such an analysis), but Hana's view of the world and reactions to it are actually not too different from his father. Both have a rather negative and cynical view of humanity, though Yoh was far better at hiding this due to his calmer demeanor. Likewise, Hana's goals do not align with Hao's, as all he wants is a good fight, not unlike how Yoh was [[{{Dismotivation}} not very motivated to take on the role of Shaman King,]] and when it comes to the daily routines of things like school, they don't put in a lot of effort.
48	** According to Ryu, he's inherited much of Anna's more violent temper, as evidenced by his equal willingness to engage in physical violence.
49	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Overlaps with ContrastingSequelMainCharacter, but Hana is far more energetic and irritable than his easygoing, affable father.
50	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The defensive form of his oversoul.
51	* MissingMom: [[Characters/ShamanKing Anna]]. Unlike his father, Hana doesn't seem to hate her but isn't missing her either since he has Tamao as a mother figure.
52	* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:Turns out seeing how the motivation to protect your loved ones makes you stronger causes Hana to have this as a revelation in the final run of ''Flowers''.]]
53	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Won all his fights with Ryuji thanks to having Amidamaru, a legendary samurai, as a ghost partner. [[spoiler:When Ryuji easily beat him without him, Hana understands how weak he is and how much he depended on him.]]
54	* SirSwearsALot: Many of his sentences have at least one swear word in them.
55	* SlasherSmile: When he's fighting.
56	* SpinOffspring: Of [[Characters/ShamanKing Yoh and Anna]].
57	* StrongFamilyResemblance: To his mother in appearance and attitude [[spoiler:according to his uncle and Ryu.]]
58	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: Via DemonicPossession.]]
59	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Takes this attitude with respect to both his father and the branch house Asakuras. After the latter become allies, the former becomes more prominent.
60	* TrashTalk: Bursts out laughing and mocks Yohane's attempts to look cool.
61	* UnskilledButStrong: His fight with [[spoiler:the 16 year old version of Yoh]] shows that while he's indeed more powerful that his dad at his age, his lack of control, inner peace, and experience can be his fatal flaw.
62	* UsedToBeASweetKid: As a four-year old in the epilogue chapters, he wasn't exactly pleasant...being more akin to an energetic scamp, but he was more affectionate towards others, at least slightly, [[spoiler:and willingly defended Alumi during the attack on the Patch Village]]. Nowadays, he's a sarcastic shut-in who won't waste a second displaying a sour face.

65	[[folder:Sakutaro Sakurai]]
66	!!Sakutaro Sakurai
67	->Voiced by: Creator/RikiyaKoyama (Japanese)
68	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sakutaro_sakurai.png]]
69
70	A pilot from World War II who joined the war after the Great Depression to improve his life after his dreams were shattered. He was killed in a skirmish when his plane was shot down and crashed on Peleliu Island and became trapped in the Asura Realm of the Great Spirit, where Hao sends Hana in a trial to see if he can become Hana's new spirit after Amidamaru was stolen from him. His spiritual form is a skeleton of his decayed body.
71	----
72	* AcePilot: Was one in life, he's so scary competent in shooting down enemies that he earned the nickname "Death Zero". This is the one reason why Hao wants him to be Hana's spirit as he judges his skills to be good enough for Hana, unlike Amidamaru who's only given to him by Yoh.
73	* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Asks Hana what is it he is truly fighting for, which sends him in a funk on what he truly wants in life.
74	* BloodKnight: Is willing to kill every enemy he encounters, and even shoots at helpless pilots ejecting from their planes. [[spoiler:Hana, who also loves fighting, is disturbed seeing him in action and tries to stop him, which earned him a bullet to the face.]]
75	* BoomHeadshot: How he died, judging from the bullet hole on his skeleton. [[spoiler:He's also fond at giving this, shooting Hana in the forehead for making him miss his target, later shooting down a soldier and ''Yosuke'' in the head even after the latter stopping time and injuring his neck.]]
76	* CanonImmigrant: He initially appears from Takei's one-shot called "Death Zero".
77	* CombatPragmatist: Unlike Amidamaru, he's willing to fight dirty to defeat his enemies.
78	* DemBones: His appearance as Hana's spirit ally, the same form as his decayed body and what the other pilots imagined what he looks like.
79	* MyGirlBackHome: [[spoiler:The reason why he's a BloodKnight in battle is that he desires to end the war so he can go home and return to Chiharu, the woman waiting for him in a café he frequented before. Unfortunately for him, he died in battle but Chiharu is implied to have a daughter with him before leaving the way. He later meets her and her granddaughter after returning to earth and Hana encouraged Sakurai to go join her.]]
80	* RedBaron: "Death Zero", his moniker when he was alive that he earned by killing every enemy plane he encounters, to the point that other pilots imagine him as a skeletal figure flying the plane.
81	* SuicideAttack: Revealed to be part of a Kamikaze Unit with orders to send themselves crashing into enemy ships when needed. Hana is [[EveryoneHasStandards disturbed to learn this, especially since he knows that a woman is waiting for him to return home.]]
82	* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without learning that he is Hana's second spirit guardian.

85	[[folder:Yohane Asakura]]
86	!!Yohane Asakura
87	->Voiced by: Creator/ShunHorie (Japanese), Cristian Franco (Latin American Spanish)
88	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yohane_pc.png]]
89
90	A member of the Asakura branch house. Wants to kill Hana, a member of the main house. His spirit is the swordsman Oboro Daikyoh.
91	----
92	* CountryMouse: Because of his isolated upbringing, he's quite learning how to live in the city.
93	* DontYouDarePityMe: Says this almost word for word.
94	* EvilCounterpart: To Hana. [[spoiler: Until he turns out to be not that evil, making him more of a {{Foil}}.]]
95	* EyepatchOfPower: He uses one of Hao's pentagram earrings as an eyepatch while fighting, despite both eyes being intact.
96	* {{Foil}}: To Hana once he's revealed to [[spoiler:not be evil in the slightest]]. Hana has lived in modern society all of his life and hates it, while Yohane grew up isolated from modern society and wants nothing more than to live in it. Hana is rude and boisterous, while Yohane is more polite and demure.
97	* FriendlessBackground: His lack of friends is one of his parallels with Hana, and a result of living hidden in the woods with his family.
98	* HeelFaceTurn: He was never really all that [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain evil to begin with]], but once he enrolls in Hana's school and is revealed to be on Hao's team for the F.O.M., he's on the protagonist's side.
99	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Despite knowing of his powers, Yohane has expressed great fascination and enjoyment of being well...a regular kid once he transfers to Hana's class.
100	* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Hana diagnoses him as having [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chuunibyou Eighth-Grade Disease]]. That being said, this may be more of him not ''knowing'' how to properly act due to having NoSocialSkills. He seems more akin to the [[IJustWantToBeNormal opposite]] instead, as seen above.
101	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: He admits to Hana he was excited to be the NewTransferStudent because it would mean that people would approach him. Sadly, Alumi won everybody with just ''her presentation''.
102	* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He's a sickly dork who doesn't make much progress in defeating Hana and ultimately becomes an ally.
103	* TheLancer: of "Team Hao". While he has a great potential in battle and Alumi describes him as "Hana's right hand man", his rather fragile body and lack of knowledge about the F.O.M let him in this category.
104	* MissingMom: He's never met his mother.
105	* MundaneObjectAmazement: Fascinated with a simple shopping mall, and takoyakis. Given he was raised in an isolated temple all of his life though, it's understandable.
106	* NewTransferStudent: To Hana's class. Sadly, Alumni manages to take his spot through her introduction alone.
107	* ParasolOfPain: He uses his umbrella as a medium.
108	* ReplacementGoldfish: The Hanagumi really likes him for being Hao's direct descendant and try to model him in his image (that includes taking off his glasses, growing his hair longer and him ''GoingCommando'').
109	* SigilSpam: His battle costume includes an armband and eyepatch marked with Hao's pentagram.

113	!!Oboro Daikyoh
114	->Voiced by: Creator/KentaroIto (Japanese), David Allende (Latin American Spanish)
115	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daikyou_pc.png]]
116	Yohane's spirit, a swordsman from a later period than Amidamaru.
117	----
118	* AnimeHair: Hois hair is very spiky and looks like it defies gravity.
119	* EvilCounterpart: To Amidamaru. [[spoiler: Until his HeelFaceTurn, at least.]]
120	* EyepatchOfPower: He's a samurai ghost wearing an eyepatch.
121	* GoodOldWays: Stuck to using the sword in an era where guns were becoming common. [[spoiler: It's what got him killed.]]
122	* NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight: [[spoiler:His adherence to GoodOldWays in the time of a rising popularity of guns ended up getting him killed in the first place.]]
123	[[/folder]]

125	[[folder:Alumi Niumbirch]]
126	!!Alumi Niumbirch, aka Anna the Itako III
127	->Voiced by: Creator/SumireUesaka (Japanese), Danann Huicochea (Latin American Spanish)
128	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alumi_pc.png]]
129
130	Hana's fiancé. A student of [[Characters/ShamanKing Anna]] and the daughter of [[Manga/ShamanKing Silva]], whose spirits she inherited.
131	----
132	* ACupAngst: She does not take well to being called flat-chested.
133	* BraidsOfAction: The left side of her hair is styled in a braid, and she's most certainly an ActionGirl.
134	* ContrastingSequelProtagonist: Just as Hana is one for Yoh, so is Alumi for Anna. Anna made no attempt to hide her disdainful and forceful personality, while Alumi publicly uses a GenkiGirl facade, but whereas Anna still kept a cool head, Alumi tends to still be openly violent and expressive.
135	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:When she was a little girl no older than four or six, Yosuke and YVS invaded the Patch Village with an army of Rapt spirits and killed everyone except for Alumi. Hana attempted to protect her from them, but was quickly defeated and had his memories erased.]]
136	* DeclarationOfProtection: Alumi declares she'll protect Hana.
137	* {{Deuteragonist}}: Seems to be in this role for ''The Super-Star''.
138	* DoomedHometown: [[spoiler:The Patch Village, which was destroyed when Yosuke and YVS gathered several spirits known as Rapt, leaving Alumi as the last Patch.]]
139	* EagleLand: She has some shades of America the Boorish, with her willingness to, in the middle of class, bring up Hana's preference for large breasts and suggest that he has HomoeroticSubtext with Yohane.
140	* FashionableAsymmetry: The silver hair clip she wears in her bangs at school.
141	* {{Flight}}: The eagle Silver Wing's power.
142	* GenkiGirl: Both in and out of school. [[StepfordSmiler That being said, she's shown to be mournful at times very much like her predecessor]], and it's outright stated that her energetic personality is her keeping up appearances.
143	* GirlsWithGuns: Silver Horn's shotgun.
144	* InstantKnots: The snake Silver Rod's power.
145	* LastOfHerKind: [[spoiler:''Super-Star'' states that she's the last living Patch after the village was attacked and destroyed.]]
146	* LegacyCharacter: She's known as "Anna the Itako III", having inherited the title from her teacher Anna.
147	* LittleBlackDress: Much like Anna, her iconic outfit is a black mini dress.
148	* LittleMissBadass: She's a young girl capable of utilizing multiple spirits.
149	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The tortoise Silver Shield's power. She wears it over her chest.
150	* MiniDressOfPower: Her main outfit features this.
151	* MysteriousPast: While she's established as Silva's daughter, given that we saw no sign of him even being in a relationship in the previous series, and we don't know how [[spoiler:YVS destroyed the Patch Village with Yosuke, during which seems to have been her first meeting with Hana]], it's safe to say there's a lot about her we don't know.
152	* NewTransferStudent: She transfers to Hana's class.
153	-->'''Yohane:''' ''She stole the transfer student position away from me!''
154	* TheNicknamer: She calls Hana "Fiancé-kun" and Yohane "Eyepatch-kun".
155	* RestrainingBolt: Thanks to the special coffee beans Goldva that can absorb and purify evil, she singlehanded, and with just one shoot, can deal with [[spoiler:Hana's SuperpoweredEvilSide.]]
156	* RockThemeNaming: ''Alumi''num, continuing the mineral theme naming of the rest of the Patch tribe.
157	* SchoolIdol: She becomes the class's idol with just her presentation.
158	* TheSmartGirl: As the manager of "Team Hao" and daughter of one of the previous overseers of the Shaman Fight, Alumi is the most knowledgeable of the F.O.M. among the protagonists.
159	* SpinOffspring: She's the daughter of [[Manga/ShamanKing Silva]].
160	* SuperSpeed: The coyote Silver Tail's power.
161	* SuperStrength: The buffalo Silver Horn's power.
162	* TrainingFromHell: Hardly intimidated by Hana or his onis because she had to undergo the training of both Anna I and Anna II.
163	* {{Tsundere}}: She and Hana [[BelligerentSexualTension fight a lot]], but she does care about him.
164	* UnwantedSpouse: Hana isn't happy about his ArrangedMarriage to Alumi.
165	* WeakButSkilled: She's a very precise fighter and physically powerful, no question about that, but ''Super-Star'' reveals that her furyoku levels are very low for a Shaman who uses powerful spirits like Zenki and Goki on top of her father's spirits.

168	[[folder:Gakko Ibuki]]
169	!!Gakko Ibuki
170	->Voiced by: Michiko Kaiden (Japanese), Ana Lobo (Latin American Spanish)
171	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gakko_pc.png]]
172
173	A new Shaman who arrives as part of Team Hao.
174	----
175	* AnimeHair: His hairstyle is the most crazy in the story so far.
176	* EasySexChange: [[spoiler:Justified in that his wish for the F.O.M. is to become biologically male; something that shouldn't be an issue for Hao, the Shaman King.]]
177	* ExpyCoexistence: His character and design bears resemblance to Horo Horo from the original series. Hana even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.
178	* FieryRedhead: He's very quick to anger and get into fights.
179	* {{Foreshadowing}}: He wants to become specifically the strongest man in the world. [[spoiler:This is because he's biologically female and wants Hao to fully change his gender.]]
180	* WorldsStrongestMan: His reason to participate in the F.O.M is so Hao can grant him his dream of being the strongest warrior, or rather, ''man'' of the world. [[spoiler:This is because he's biologically female and wants Hao to fully change him from female to male.]]
181	* YouthfulFreckles: He's a young boy with freckles.
182	[[/folder]]
183
184	[[folder:Namaha]]
185	!!Namaha
186	->Voiced by: Chihiro Ueda (Japanese), Ellie Rojo (Latin American Spanish)
187	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/namaha_pc.png]]
188
189	Ibuki's guardian ghost.
190	----
191	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's nice and admires Alumi, but she can "slice you in half" if you're her enemy. Or if you [[BerserkButton call her "babe"]].
192	* TheBigGirl: She's the most physically imposing guardian ghost of the main characters.
193	* CoolMask: She wears a mask with horns.
194	* DoNotCallMePaul: When she's in her armor, she refuses to be named by her name but as "The Nama-Hage".
195	* {{Fangirl}}: Of Alumi. Also Tamao and Ryu, to a lesser degree.
196	* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: With Ibuki. They argue a lot, but Hana mistook their fight with flirting.
197	* MagicalBarefooter: She's a spirit whose true form is a barefoot girl.
198	* NoSell: Her special armor and sword nullify demonic energy, meaning that she's one of the few people that can stand against [[spoiler:Hana's SuperpoweredEvilSide.]]
199	* SamusIsAGirl: In battle, she takes a demonic spirit form, making it surprising to find out her true form is that of a young girl.

202	[[folder:Tao Men]]
203	!!Tao Men
204	->Voiced by: Creator/RomiPark (Japanese), Jennifer Medel (Latin American Spanish)
205	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/men_pc.png]]
206
207	[[Manga/ShamanKing Ren and Iron Maiden Jeanne's]] son.
208	----
209	* AnimeHair: He manages to combine his dad's hairdo and his mom's wavy hair.
210	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest of Team Hao's members.
211	* CreepyChild: According to Yosuke, he's only 7. And in two chapters, he [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly whooped Team Niles's sons, Yohane, and Ibuki]].
212	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: When Team Niles' sons come to get RevengeByProxy for Jeanne killing their fathers, Men apologizes on her behalf. Also, he wants to save his mother enough to participate in the F.O.M in Hao's team. He's also enraged when [[spoiler: the Black Maiden confronts him, since she killed Jeanne and turned her into an oversoul. He also can't bring himself to risk hurting her as a result, and is quickly defeated.]]
213	* FeelNoPain: Like his mother, Men can take large amounts of pain with a smile.
214	* FreudianExcuse: Something must have happened to Jeanne for why Men wants to kill Hana for him being too weak. From what can be gleamed from chapter 22 [[spoiler: she was killed and turned into an oversoul for the Black Maiden. ''Red Crimson'' later reveals that Yosuke was the culprit since the Black Maiden was actually hesitant to pull the trigger. It actually turns out that Men is interested in Hana's Oni summoning, believing that it could save his mother.]]
215	* KnightTemplarParent: He's annoyed that Ren contracted a whole army of bodyguards just to take him to Funbari ga Oka when he can defend himself capably, [[spoiler:but considering that Jeanne was killed by YVS' associates in China, Ren has a perfectly good reason to do so.]]
216	* TheLancer: Each team in the Flower of Maize has five members. Right now, for Team Hao we have [[TheHero Hana]], [[TheBigGuy Ibuki]] and Yohane. Since most [[TheLancer lancers]] start out trying to kill the main protagonist, [[GenerationXerox (like father, like son)]], Men might end up in this role.
217	* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: He generally lacks his father's young bloodlust, and [[spoiler:before YVS arranged for Jeanne's death]] as seen in ''Red Crimson'', [[UsedToBeASweetKid used to be a very go-lucky kid]], compared to how Ren was much more surly. Even now, he's directly fighting for his family for reasons that are [[ItsPersonal personal]] while Ren was generally forced to fight for his family's honor.
218	* RedEyesTakeWarning: And unlike his mother, he plays it straight.
219	* RuleOfThree: His personal policy is to give his opponents three opportunities to surrender or relinquish a fight. If continually rebuffed after those three attempts, he's not holding back.
220	* SpinOffSpring: Of Ren. And, to all the readers' surprise, of Jeanne as well.
221	* SpoiledBrat: He gave off this air as an infant. Still does, to a degree.
222	* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks like a younger version of his father, but with the hair and eye color of his mother.
223	* SuperSpeed: Inherited Shamash who claimed to be able to move in light speed.
224	* ThouShallNotKill: Turns out that his parents give him a "don't kill people" rule. He forgets it when he is confronted by [[spoiler: the Black Maiden, the girl who (planned to, at least, before Jeanne's personality scared her into doing the deed, forcing Yosuke to intervene) killed his mother and turned her into an oversoul.]]
225	* UsedToBeASweetKid: ''Red Crimson'' reveals that he was much more energetic before [[spoiler:Jeanne was killed]].
226	* WhiteHairBlackHeart: [[spoiler:Not always]], and he's not as outwardly bloodthirsty as his father was, but Men's not the nicest kid.
227	* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: When confronted with the girl who killed his mother, the Black Maiden, he's on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle by her (AKA, getting impaled into a pool of blood, and with the revelation that she's on YVS's side, it says a LOT more about how powerful these guys are on so many levels.]]
228	* [[YouKilledMyFather You Killed My Mother]]: [[spoiler:Black Maiden killed Jeanne for the purpose of using her as her guardian ghost. Men's response to seeing her, despite having just proclaimed that his parents forbade him to kill people, is to draw his weapon and immediately take a lethal shot at her. ''Red Crimson'' reveals that the real killer was Yosuke, but the Black Maiden was still involved: She just didn't actually pull the trigger.]]
229	* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's drawn to look about the same age as Hana, Yohane, and Ibuki. He's actually [[ImprobableAge seven-years-old]].

236	->Voiced by: Creator/AmiKoshimizu (Japanese), Angie Villa (Latin American Spanish)
237	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/luca_pc.png]]
238	Yohane's older sister and fellow member of the branch house. Her spirits are Shinden and Raiden, a pair of [[MixAndMatchCritters lion-dogs.]]
239	----
240	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She's a black-haired and tall beauty with a cold and dignified demeanour. These traits made Ryuji instantly fall in love with her.
241	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In chapters 9 and 10, courtesy of the spirit Yosuke and YVS gave her father for her to use [[spoiler:in order to kidnap Amidamaru.]]
242	* DefrostingIceQueen: She mellows out and shows her soft side around others besides Yohane after her father agrees to a truce with Tamao.
243	* DontYouDarePityMe: Hana saying she and her brother were only pushed into fighting causes her to snap her into a rage since she feels he's making fun of the loneliness and suffering the siblings went through when they were kids.
244	* FriendlessBackground: A result of living hidden in the woods with her family. This makes Ryuji sympathize with her enough to [[LoveAtFirstSight fall at first sight]] for her.
245	* HimeCut: She's an AloofDarkHairedGirl with blunt bangs, cheek-length sidelocks, and mid-thigh length straight hair.
246	* KnightTemplarBigSister: As she was tasked by her father to help out Yohane in defeating Hana, she is willing to confront Hana herself to give her brother a chance to kill him.
247	* LetsGetDangerous: She ambushes Hana in his home and acts as a distraction while Yohane deals the finishing blow, later combining both their Over Souls after he fatally injures Hana. If it wasn't for Alumi's arrival at that moment, Luca's plan and ambush would have killed Hana for real. [[spoiler:And don't mention the whole brainwashing thing.]]
248	* MagicWand: She uses a star-tipped wand.
249	* MissingMom: She's never met her mother as she says in her monologue.
250	* NewTransferStudent: Goes to the same school Ryuji does in order to recruit people to gang up on Hana.
251	* PromotionToParent: She took care of her younger brother Yohane after their mother died, as decreed by her father.
252	* {{Sailorfuku}}: With a long skirt.
253	* SigilSpam: Hao's pentagrams are all over her clothes and oversoul.
254	* StatuesqueStunner: She's as tall as Tamao and Ryuji considers her a beauty.
255	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's withdrawn and cold to nearly everyone save for her brother.
256	* TransformingMecha: Her oversoul changes between a festival float and an [[Franchise/StarWars AT-ST shape.]]

263
264	The 7th and previous Shaman King, and serves as the seemingly main antagonist in the series.
265	----
266	* BigBad: Seems to serve as the main villain.
267	* CapitalismIsBad: As the creator of the capitalistic modern society that everyone is pretty critical of, YVS is an embodiment of that ideology's worst excesses.
268	* {{Foil}}: To Hao in every way (motivationally-speaking of course. Morally speaking, neither is all [[EvilVsEvil that great]]). This is rather obvious in how they contrast as Shaman Kings; YVS espouses the virtues of a capitalist society, while Hao has nothing but hatred for it. [[spoiler:YVS' background likewise reveals that unlike Hao, who underwent ''two'' 500-year-long sessions of TrainingFromHell, YVS never tried to refine his spirituality or become stronger on his own merits. Instead, he used his minions to force other Shamans to withdraw, and if that didn't work, had them killed.]]
269	* Foreshadowing: Despite having a broken TimeStop card that he uses all the time, Yosuke for some reason did not use them on Hana when he was trying to interfere in the Asura Realm, [[spoiler: It turns out that it [[NoSell doesnt work]] on Hana and almost got killed way back in the Patch Village.]]
270	* HiddenAgendaVillain: At least in regards to his dealings with Yosuke. The Knights Templar, who are the [[spoiler:Ten Patch Officials of YVS' Shaman Fight]], have no idea why YVS wastes his time with Yosuke given Yosuke's... [[PsychopathicManChild peculiarities]].
271	* HiddenDepths: In the ''Yahabe'' one-shot, his golem, the titular Yahabe, seems to actually have similar opinions to Hao's hatred of the world YVS created, and there's nothing in the interim that's suggested any major changes since then, besides the golem's personality becoming closer to YVS. This, coupled with how YVS keeps on backing Yosuke, implies that there's a bit more going on with him. As the story progresses into ''Super-Star'' [[spoiler:which reveals more of his background]], it may be a case of BlueAndOrangeMorality.
272	* {{Irony}}: For all of his motivations to create his ideal hierarchal society, it turns out that he [[spoiler:only won his Shaman Fight by gathering as many allies as possible before using this network to threaten the other Shamans' loved ones to force his opponents to withdraw, or if they ''did'' try to fight, were killed by his minions. Meaning that the person espousing a society of strength was technically the weakest of it. Thorim outright confirms that YVS didn't even try to train his spiritual skills (and given how Yosuke isn't a Shaman, it's unknown if YVS himself even qualified to be one) in favor of his networking.]]
273	* KnightTemplar: He considers the world as it is to be a paradise already and does not want Hao to destroy it. To achieve this end, he has utilized his massive organization to destroy anything and anyone who could oppose him, which usually includes attacking the cast of the previous series, with excessive force usually involved.
274	* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Back when he was becoming the Shaman King, and during the previous Shaman King, he was this for Hao. On the one hand, YVS had no [[EvenEvilHasStandards wish to destroy humanity]] the way Hao did, but at the same time, his own views of an ideal society that he could control, [[TheSocialDarwinist manipulating the weak to be destroyed by the strong]], is hardly moral.
275	* MouthOfSauron: His golem, Yahabe, acts as this.
276	* MindWipe: One of his powers, manifested in his ''Erase the Memory'' card.
277	* OurGodsAreDifferent: He prefers to manifest as the Eye of Providence, though the Yahabe one-shot reveals, and the main series confirms, that it's just a [[MouthOfSauron golem he talks through]]. Even in his true form, he appears quite differently from the other, more obviously-human former Kings. Though, it might just be his outfit.
278	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Was responsible for creating the capitalist society that is present in the world, and also manifests his powers in the forms of cards for Yosuke to use, with them ranging from cheap to incredibly expensive. It can be assumed he shares a similar attitude to his associate.
279	* TheSocialDarwinist: His ideal for society; create a hierarchal world where the strong control and crush the weak.
280	* {{Telepathy}}: One of his powers manifested in his ''Read the Mind 10'' card.
281	* VillainHasAPoint: His methods are deplorable and inexcusable, but considering Hao's willingness to try to destroy the entire world during the last Shaman Fight (and general misanthropy), he's well within his rights to try to defend the status quo from whatever new plan Hao has in mind.

284	[[folder:Yosuke Kamogawa]]
285	->Voiced by: Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka (Japanese), Ferso Velázquez (Latin American Spanish)
286	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yosuke_and_yabisu.png]]
287	Leader of Team YVS, having the previous Shaman Fight winner, YVS, as his spirit partner.
288	----
289	* AGodAmI: Aside from having an ex-god as his spirit partner, he believes that money controls everything, from your life to others'.
290	* CastFromMoney: His cards enable him to use various abilities, ranging from X-Ray scanning to summoning a giant obelisk, but require him to insert money or I.O.U.s into Yahabe, the pyramid that draws power from YVS.
291	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Hao. Yosuke firmly enjoys the luxuries and benefits of the modern-day society, while Hao despises it. Both have calm and arrogant personalities, but Hao was more easy-going and legitimately expressed surprise at unforeseen events. Yosuke on the other hand, is a PerpetualSmiler who rarely reacts to anything else differently. Hao personally built his army of Shamans for the Shaman Fight, and all of them respected and revered him. Yosuke on the other hand, came across Yahabe, who had already been created by YVS's faction, purely by chance, and somehow took over that pre-existing organization by force, and is not liked at all by his allies.
292	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Yosuke is a CEO that believes firmly that money makes the world go around. So while he has money, he has power, and if he has power, he can have more money.
293	* TheDragon: Number one associate and aide to YVS, and Team Leader of Team YVS. He's also been the one backing a good portion of their schemes as shown in ''Red Crimson''.
294	* DeathDealer: He manifests YVS' power via cards. Even so, every card, depending on the power (stopping time, resurrection, etc.) is [[CastFromMoney worth quite a lot of money]].
295	* DittoFighter: one of YVS' cards. He uses it to copy [[spoiler:Yoh's Byakko O.S.]].
296	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: For YVS' side, no-one really ''likes'' Yosuke. His hired help in ''Red Crimson'' is terrified of him, and the Knights Templar find his methods to be wasteful.
297	* FromNobodyToNightmare: Used to be penniless, now he's an evil billionaire and TheDragon to YVS.
298	* GodhoodSeeker: [[spoiler:He's also planning to surpass the current god, Hao.]]
299	* HeroKiller: [[spoiler: ''Red Crimson'' reveals that he was the one to actually kill Jeanne and just [[FakeMemories planted the memory]] into the Black Maiden's mind. He also destroyed the Patch Village.]]
300	* InterruptedSuicide: Yosuke met YVS when he was about to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
301	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He's a filthy rich CEO and is quite dapper.
302	* PerpetualSmiler: And it makes you ''shiver''. He never, EVER changes that expression.
303	* PersonOfMassDestruction: He, alongside YVS, destroyed [[spoiler:The Patch village]]. His ''Obelisk'' card likewise, is immensely powerful and devastating.
304	* PsychopathicManchild: You can clearly see that Yosuke consideres everything to be a mere game, now that he has YVS' power, as he behaves like a mean and spoiled child showing up his brand new toys, while beating Hana. [[spoiler:Later, it's revealed that he's actually 13 years old, which justifies more his attitude.]]
305	* {{Sadist}}: There's no denying that Yosuke is this. He enjoys tormenting everyone around him, takes great pleasure in destroying just about anything that strikes his fancy, and loves how he can get away with it thanks to YVS' cards.
306	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: A given since YVS is the god that created the capitalism system. [[spoiler:It's then revealed that he's ''not'' a born shaman, ''nor'' he even has his spiritual potential awaken, but thanks to YVS' power only needing money, he just bought the power to see spirits.]]
307	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: It's hinted that Yosuke was poor before and meeting YVS was what made him so damn rich.
308	* SharpDressedMan: Always in a [[VillainInAWhiteSuit white]] suit.
309	* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Is revealed in chapter 24 to be responsible for Yoh, Hana, And Anna's deaths alongside YVS, and later in ''Red Crimson'' to be the true culprit in Jeanne's death]].
310	* TimeMaster: The ''Time Stop'' cards give him the ability to do so. He seems to prefer the 30 second version.
311	* TouchedByVorlons: He's actually ''not'' a natural shaman. He just cut a deal with YVS for the powers he wields.
312	* UsedToBeASweetKid: The ''Yahabe'' one-shot reveals that [[spoiler:he used to be an isolated nerd, but was certainly not a bad person.]]
313	* YoungerThanHeLooks: Would you believe that Yosuke is actually [[spoiler:''13 years old'']] by just looking at him? [[spoiler:This is because of all of the ''Time Stop'' cards he's been using, causing him to age physically faster than others.]]

316	[[folder:Black Maiden]]
317	A member of Team YVS in the F.O.M., a mysterious girl who now owns Jeanne as her oversoul.
318	----
319	* DarkActionGirl: She's a girl fighting for YVS.
320	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Crushes Men into a pool of blood.
321	* FakeMemories: Claims to have [[spoiler:killed Jeanne to make her into an oversoul]]. This is false. ''Red Crimson'' reveals that [[spoiler:she wasn't able to pull the trigger, and Yosuke had to do the deed before altering her memories]].
322	* {{Gonk}}: She doesn't look ''that'' bad, but her expressions and face do not do her looks any justice. Ryu for instance is perplexed why she would be considered a maiden.
323	* HiddenDepths: Not so much in the first run of ''Flowers'', but ''Red Crimson'' has her [[spoiler:hesitate to shoot Jeanne and be horrified at her target try to use Shamash to commit suicide in order to teach her the lesson of actually taking a life, indicating there's a few fetters in her.]]
324	* {{Jerkass}}: Not unlike Hana, she's very rude.
325	* YouthfulFreckles: Like Gakko, but these just make her look ''off''.
