Yoh is able to partially dodge Ren's attack, but ends up with a broken arm. Ryu's gang force Ren away and take Yoh to the hospital. While recovering, Yoh has memories of him as a child being taught early shaman skills by his grandfather. Later, Yoh confronts Ren again. Still unable to achieve 100%, he tells Amidamaru to flee before Ren makes him his guardian spirit. However, Amidamaru refuses to abandon Yoh. Their strong bond finally allows them to use their full power. As a result, Yoh defeats Ren, but succumbs to exhaustion and is taken back to the hospital. Meanwhile, a girl is shown wandering the streets.
