The King of Spirits

The King of Spirits is the all powerful spirit that all shamans in the tournament seek to obtain. He contains the spirits of all ghosts, and the shaman to merge with him will become the Shaman King with power great enough to save or destroy the world. The King of Spirits is also the one to choose which shaman will fight which in the tournament and sends messages to the Grand Shaman Council with his decisions.

Zeke Asakura found a secret path to the King of Spirits through the Forbidden Forest and into the Star Sanctuary, causing the Shaman Tournament to close down. Through force, Zeke had his Guardian Ghost, the Spirit of Fire, devour the King of Spirits and steal his power. However, when Yoh Asakura destroyed Zeke and the Spirit of Fire, the King of Spirits was set free.
