SHAMAN KING - S01

Shamans are rare people who can talk with ghosts, spirits, and gods, which ordinary people cannot see. The Shaman Fight, a famous tournament that pits shamans from around the world against each other, is held once every five hundred years, and the winner is crowned Shaman King. That title lets the current holder call on the Great Spirit and reshape the world however they want. One night, Manta Oyamada, an ordinary middle school student, is running late for class and decides to cut through the local cemetery. A lone boy sitting on a gravestone notices him and invites Manta to stargaze with "them." When Manta realizes "them" means the boy and his ghostly friends, he runs away in terror. Later, the boy introduces himself as You Asakura, a Shaman-in-training, and shows off his powers by teaming up with the ghost of Amidamaru, a six-hundred-year-old samurai, to save Manta from a group of thugs. You becomes friends with Manta because Manta can see spirits, and with Amidamaru's help, they set out to achieve You's goal of becoming the next Shaman King.
