Op een nacht met volle maan hoort Morty een stem vanuit de begraafplaats komen. Hij ziet een vreemde jongen die er vrolijk uitziet. Hij wordt omringd door geesten. De volgende dag gelooft niemand van zijn klas het verhaal van Morty. Morty gelooft zzijn ogen niet, als hij ontdekt dat de jongen op de begraafplaats zijn nieuwe klasgenootje Yoh is.

Morty wil erg graag weten wat een shaman is. Yoh vertelt Morty dat hij naar Tokio moet gaan om samen te werken met krachtige geesten. Yoh vraagt Amidamaru om zijn beschermgeest te worden. Amidamaru weigert dat. Hij blijft liever in zijn graf. Morty neemt Yoh mee naar een museum waar het beroemde zwaard "Harusame" dat Amidamaru altijd gebruikte te zien is. Ze zeggen dat het zwaard 's nachts "huilt". Ze ontmoeten de geest Mosuke, de zwaardenmaker die het zwaard behekst.

Morty ontmoet een andere mysterieuze persoon, Tao Len, een shaman die wordt beschermd door de geest van een Chinese zwaardvechter. Hoewel Yoh op zijn gemak is, ziet Tao Len er erg gevaarlijk uit. Tao Len slaat een auto in tweeën en bluft dat de wereld maar één shaman nodig heeft: hem. Tao Len verkondigt dat hij de Shaman King zal worden.

Yoh is aangevallen door Len en flauwgevallen. Hij wordt gered door Rio, de drager van een houten zwaard. Als Yoh weer bij bewustzzijn komt, ziet hij dat Amidamaru zich schaamt voor zijn machteloosheid. Yoh vertelt Morty over de Shaman King: een Shaman King is een redder die zich kan verenigen met de almachtige geesten koning. Len komt in conflict met Yoh, de kwestie moet tot een einde worden gebracht.

Yoh wordt verslagen door Len die gebruik maakt van een bezwerings-formule. De volgende ochtend krijgt Yoh in het ziekenhuis beoek van een meisje. Het is Anna Kyohyama, Yo's vriendinnetje dat een zeer sterk karakter heeft. Yoh wordt al zo lang door Anna op zijn huid gezeten, dat hij niet echt met haar kan wedijveren. Anna vertelt Yoh dat zze hem wil trainen met haar speciale programma, zodat hij wordt klaargestoomd voor het shamanen toernooi dat binnenkort start. Het shamanen toernooi is het grote toernooi voor krachtige shamans.

Als voorbereiding op het shamanen toernooi is Yoh aan het trainen. Hij volgt het zware programma dat Anna voor hem heeft opgesteld. Op een dag gaat Yoh naar een film met in de hoofdrol Lee Pai-Long, een legendarische actieheld die zeventien jaar geleden op mysterieuze wijze is gestorven. Yoh wordt geraakt door de kracht en vaardigheden van Lee. Dan komt Yoh tegenover een dame in Chinese kledij te staan. ij is de zus van Tao Len, Tan Jun en ze draagt de geest van Lee Pai-Long met zich mee.

Yoh vecht tegen de geest van Pai-Long die wordt gemanipuleerd door Tao Jun. Yoh en Amidamaru, die zijn beroofd van hun zwaard, hebben veel moeite met de strijd, hun pogingen lijken tevergeefs. Manta gaat op zoek naar een houten zwaard voor Yoh. Hij vraagt hulp aan de groep die langs komt, maar hij wordt weggejaagd. Rio ziet zijn wanhoop en besluit te helpen. Morty komt terug met het houten zwaard voor Yoh en Amidamaru en dat verandert de situatie helemaal!

Nadat hij getuige is geweest van het laatste gevecht, raakt Rio gefascineerd door Yoh. Hij wil zelfs zijn leerling worden, om zelf ook shaman te worden. Rio is zo enthousiast dat Yoh helemaal perplex is. Yoh vertelt Rio dat hij een test moet doen: hij moet voor hem koken. Het resultaat is, dat Rio alle huishoudelijke klusjes doet voor Yoh.

Op een dag vindt Yoh een jongen die aan de kant van de weg naast een sneeuwpop ligt. De jongen heet Trey en lijkt te vergaan van de honger. Hij is naar Tokio komen liften, helemaal vanuit Hokkaido, het eiland in het noorden van Japan, maar zijn bagage is gestolen. Trey vertelt Yoh dat hij naar Tokio is gekomen om zijn dromen waar te maken. Anna stelt voor dat hij bij haar kan blijven als hij het huishouden doet. Trey gaat aan het werk, en werkt harder dan Rio.

Rio is gedeprimeerd omdat hij op geen enkele manier een shaman kan worden. Om hem op te vrolijken bieden zijn vrienden aan hem mee te nemen naar een verlaten bowlingplaats. In de tussentijd ondervindt Yoh, terwijl Rio weg is, een probleem. Anna is helemaal niet tevreden met de knokkunsten van Yoh, die niet te vergelijken zijn met die van Rio. Yoh en Morty gaan boodschappen doen, ze hebben eten nodig. Als e Rio zien op de bowlingplaats, voelen Yoh en Morty dat er iets niet pluis is met die plaats.

Rio, die wordt bezeten door de geest van Tokagero, neemt bezit van Morty om Amidamaru aan te vallen met het beroemde zwaard van het licht. Yoh heeft maar drie mogelijkheden om Morty te redden: Amidamaru dood achterlaten, Rio aanvallen of het zwaard van het licht breken.

De ochtend nadat hij werd bezeten door Tokagero, wordt Rio wakker en is in staat Amidamaru, de geest, te zien. Terwijl het erop lijkt dat Rio de shamankracht om geesten te kunnen zien heeft veroverd, beginnen Yoh, Anna en Trey de kracht om zwakke geesten te zien te verliezen.

To enter the Shaman Fight, Yoh must hit, at least once, the Shaman Fight priest Silva. The task is not easy, though, because Silva uses a different technique to fight with his guardian spirits.

Yoh's first opponent in the Shaman Fight is HoroHoro, and things get awkward between them both when HoroHoro's younger sister and Anna seem to forget that "opponent" and "friend" are not antonyms.

Yoh's second opponent is an eerie doctor called Faust VIII, who Silva believes to be an extremely dangerous man. This is proven to be true when the doctor kidnaps Manta.

The fight against Faust continues. As the doctor harasses Manta, Yoh loses his calm and ends up in a disadvantageous position. Danger only increases when Faust summons the spirit of his late wife, Eliza.

Trying to protect Manta, Yoh pushes his friend away and returns to his grandfather's house to train for the second round.

Still depressed because Lyserg left with the X-Laws, the four Shamans meet a boy called Chocolove, who wants to become the world's greatest comedian through the Shaman Fight. In the meantime, Faust VIII and Anna make a deal.

In his determination to be strong enough to help Yoh, Manta discovers something about his computer, and the X-Laws get in trouble when Hao intervenes in the fight.

The determination of the X-Laws, even in face of certain death, allows the Iron Maiden to recover and open the Gate of Babylon. However, their plan might bring exactly the opposite of what they were trying to achieve, when Hao takes advantage of their weakness.
