The Spirit of Thunder (スピリット・オブ・サンダー Supiritto Obu Sandā) is one of the Five Grand Elemental Spirits created by the Great Spirit itself. Tao Ren inherits the spirit due to Taoism's lightning-based techniques.[1]

About[]

The Spirit of Thunder is one of five powerful elemental spirits known as the Grand Elemental Spirits of the Patch Tribe. They are derived from the Great Spirit itself, and like it, constitute a collective of souls. They can be controlled by their respective Elemental Warrior, or a shaman of extraordinary power. Their power is unmatched by any other spirit, except for the Great Spirit itself. Like the Spirit of Fire, the Spirit of Thunder has the ability to become stronger by consuming souls.[2]

After Hao stole the Spirit of Fire, the Patch Tribe hid the other Grand Elemental Spirits to prevent them from being stolen as well. Within the depths of hell, the Spirit of Thunder was guarded by Izanami, one of the four Kings of Hell.[3] Before the finals of the Shaman Fight 2000 in Tokyo, Sati Saigan and Team "Myooh" went to Hell to retrieve the Five Elemental Spirits and deliver them to the Five Elemental Warriors. Jackson succeeded in defeating Izanami and freeing the Spirit of Thunder for Tao Ren.[4]

After the final fight, Ren kept the Spirit of Thunder.[5]

Description: When Over Souled by Tao Ren it gains its entire body. In this form, it is capable of creating numerous black thunder clouds around itself to strike the opponent with lightning from many various directions. Its movements seem to follow that of Ren himself.[6]

Attacks

  • Jiǔlóng Bàoléi (九龍爆雷クーロンバオレイ Kūron Baorei, lit. "Nine Dragon Exploding Thunder"): Creating many black cumulonimbus clouds around itself and its opponent, the Spirit of Thunder strikes the opponent with nine bolts of lightning. The lightning produced by this attack has a charge of 1,500,000,000KW and a voltage of 100,000,000V.[6]
  • Magnetic Field (磁場マグネティックフィールド Magunetikku Fīrudo): By causing motion of the electric charges present within the electricity it produces, the Spirit of Thunder generates a large magnetic field centralized upon its fist, to repel attacks and so shield itself and others from damage.[7]

Anime/Manga Difference[]

The Spirit of Thunder does not appear in the 2001 anime series, as the Spirit of Fire appears to be a single, powerful entity under the Patch's control rather than a member of this group, though it was mentioned that there were four other spirits worshiped by the Patch other than the Spirit of Fire.[8]
