The Great Spirits is an anime and manga character who features in Shaman King.

Biography

The Great Spirit (大精霊 (グレートスピリッツ) Gurēto Supirittsu) was a powerful entity that resided on the planet and was guarded for eternity by the Patch Tribe. This tribe was also responsible for finding a worthy shaman to wield the power of the King of Spirits and thus hosted the Shaman tournaments every five hundred years when the Destiny Star showed itself.

Around 500 years ago, a figure known as YVS (ヤービス, Yābisu) participated in the Shaman Fight and was the victor thus being crowned the seventh Shaman King. Under his reign, he was responsible for creating a capitalist-based society that continued to the modern day.

It held a difficult role in the past as around five hundred years ago, it was known that the Shaman King was responsible for creating a big volcanic eruption that had killed one third of the planet's population.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, the King of Spirits resembled a shapeless mass of trillions of spirits that were interconnected to one another.

Powers and abilities

The Great Sprit was the oldest and most powerful spirit on the planet where its shapeless mass consisted of trillions of interconnects spirits. All forms of life were said to come from this spirit and when they died they returned to it. Its immense power was so great that normal people could not even look upon it without fainting. Only the Shaman King was capable of touching and controlling the Great Spirit. As all spirits eventually returned to the Great Spirit, it contained all the memories of Earth.

Upon wielding the Great Spirit, a shaman gained the following techniques:

• Solar Flare (太陽面爆発（フレア), Furea) : an ability that imitated an actual solar flare thus creating extremely high-temperature solar winds and super concentrated radioactivity in order to produce a highly damaging and wide-ranging attack.
• Prominence (紅炎（プロミネンス), Purominensu) : an attack that made use of the huge pillars of gas extending tens of thousands of kilometers over the actual sun to directly attack an opponent drastically increasing the temperature and radioactivity received.
• Comet (彗星（コメット), Kometto) : a technique which produced a large comet composed of ice and other frozen gases, within one of the Great Spirits hands. Rather than throw it, the Great Spirit made a slashing motion with significant force, using the comet's tail in a similar manner to a sword's blade.
• Meteor (隕石（メテオ), Meteo) :
• Supernova (超新星（スーパーノヴァ), Sūpānova) :
• Black Hole (ブラックホール, Burakku Hōru) :

Those that merged with the Great Spirit and became the Shaman King were referred to as the God 8 (ゴッド8, "Goddo 8"). If three or more members raise a complaint against the current Shaman King then a G8 (ジーエイト, "Jī Eito") summit was called with the fate of the planet being decided as a result.
