Opacho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Opacho is a fictional character in the manga and anime series Shaman King.She is the most loyal of Hao Asakura's allies. She was a malnourished baby in Western Africa when Hao found her. She was later adopted and raised by Hao.

Opacho follows Hao almost every where he goes. She is as short as Manta and she likes to speak in the third person. Opacho sees Hao as a big brother and Hao trusts her the most among all his followers, for she is always seen by his side. Hao often confides in Opacho about his plans, as well as about Yoh and his power.

In the anime, neither Opacho's power spirit, her fighting style, or her fighting techniques were shown; however, in the manga, Opacho has strong but unrefined powers including clairvoyance and the ability to project illusions.

Opacho is also part of Hao's team in the Shaman Tournament, though her attack power is never revealed. Although Opacho supports Hao loyally, near the final episodes of the anime series (once Yoh's soul returns to his body), Opacho notes that Hao has made a change for the worse and flees from him. Opacho's last anime appearance is in episode 64 when she is shown watching the Destiny Star fly by. She is one of the few survivors of Hoshigumi. It is questionable as to whether or not she is still loyal to Hao after the Shaman Tournament, and her true feelings for Hao remain a mystery.

[edit] Trivia

  • The character's gender was inexplicably changed from female to male for the 4Kids! English dub.
  • In the Game Boy Advance game Shaman King:Soaring Hawk/Spirting Wolf, there is a spirt that has the head of Opacho and the body of a sheep.
