__Race:__ Human / Shaman

A British Shaman and a traditional "dowser", whose parents were killed by [Hao](https://anilist.co/character/172/Hao-Asakura). Lyserg has dramatic interactions with all of the main characters at some point, and though he travels with them for a long time, he fights against [Yoh's](https://anilist.co/character/167/Yoh-Asakura) team more than once during the series.  

Lyserg is an intelectualy genius but he is blinded by the prospet of revenge for his family's murder. He has a generally kind heart, although he becomes a bit of an anti-hero.

~!At first, Lyserg teams up with Yoh and his friends, but later joined the _X-Laws_, a group dedicated to destroying Hao. When Lyserg joins them, he is unsure about the ways the _X-Laws_ try to eliminate Hao. Though Lyserg holds a deep hatred for Hao, his kindness and Yoh's own philosophies and personalities keep him from crossing the line.!~

~!In the anime (2001 version), Lyserg discards his first spirit as he gains control of Zeruel, an Archangel provided by [Jeanne](https://anilist.co/character/7137/Iron-Maiden-Jeanne). In the manga, Lyserg never abandons [Morphine](https://anilist.co/character/9147/Morphine), even when he is presented with the Archangel Zeruel.!~

~!His name is a drug reference to lysergic acid diethylamide. The name of his spirit, Morphine, is obviously a drug reference as well and thus was changed to _Chloe_ and _Morphea_ for the English version of both anime and manga. Moreover, his appearance is based on the stereotypical look of Sherlock Holmes, and Lyserg's dream is to be a famous detective in the future. He also loves reading detective and mystery stories.!~

Shamans possess mysterious powers that allow them to commune with gods, spirits, and even the dead…and Manta Oyamada's about to learn all about them, because his class just welcomed a new transfer student: Yoh Asakura, a boy from way off in Izumo…and a shaman in training!

Lives in New York, United States.

On a starry night, middle-schooler Manta meets Yoh Asakura, a young shaman who has the ability to talk to spirits, and also has the ability to let them possess him to use their powers. Yoh has a heavy duty on his shoulders: he must become the Shaman King by winning the Shaman Fight, a tournament between shamans that happens only once every 500 years. Joined by his spirit medium fiancée Anna Kyouyama, his personal samurai spirit Amidamaru, and his other friends, Yoh must also face a larger evil: Hao, a powerful man who aims to create a new world with only shamans by becoming the Shaman King himself.

- In 2018, Kodansha republished Shaman King Kanzenban digitally with 35 volumes as "Shaman King."

Throughout the broadcast of Shaman King, many shorts (usually referred to as Shaman King omake and TV specials) were made on special days of the year related to spirits and the like. The omake were short stories that were made for humorous effect. Apparently, all of the omake fit into the story before the Shaman Fight 2nd round. Documents of the Shaman Fight was shown with a New Year's omake as well. The TV Specials were aired after specific points of the story as well as on holidays. The specials were never dubbed in English, and, most likely, never will be.

Return to the world of Shaman King! Before the Shaman Fight, there were countless tales of heartache and worry as Yoh and the others worked their ways toward the tournament...and they're here in Shaman King: Zero!
