X-Laws
The X-Laws are one of the "three forces" in the Shaman Tournament. The other two are Hao's group, and a Buddhist group called Grandhara, who only appear in the manga and, like the X-Laws, are opposed to Hao's team.
The X-Laws were originally founded by Marco and Luchist, who is now a follower of Hao's. Except for Jeanne, Marco, and Lyserg, all X-Laws are ex-military. All X-Laws are given Archangels by Jeanne when she feels that they are worthy enough and a true believer in the X-Laws' cause.
|
Side Note & Something To Think About: The X's carried on their shoulders is a similar practice to the People's Crusade of 1095 AD, where crusaders wore an X shaped piece of cloth on their shoulders as well to represent the memory of the heavy cross carried by Christ to Calvary. |
The X-Law teams consists of:
X-I: Iron Maiden Jeanne, Marco, and Lyserg
X-II: Denbat, Porf, and Larch
X-III: Benstar, Cebin, and Meene

| Description: A Kami (god) class shaman and leader of the X-Laws. She spends a majority of her time in an iron maiden which keeps her in a constant near-death state, which increases her power, and she only comes out when she is desperately needed. Her guardian ghost is originally called Shamash, but the name was changed in the dub to Mash. Her name is taken from Jeanne D'Arc. She is a French orphan that was found by Luchist and granted shamanic powers. The anime states that she was a French country girl who received divine revelations when she was praying in a Catholic church, and a cross of light appeared and a voice said that the world was going to be destroyed unless it was rid of an evil force, which is identified as Hao She tends to see issues in black and white. |
| In the manga, she is killed when Marco's car explodes, but is later brought back to life by Sati, the leader of Grandhara. When Marco attempts to commit suicide a second time, Jeanne stops him and tells him that when he took her in when she was an orphan, he was and is Saint Michael to her. She also teams up with Yoh and Hao to help stop the human invasion of Tokyo Island, the site of the shaman fights. |

He survives and his would heals because of "Lady Maiden's love" and he "recieved Shamash's kiss when the car exploded. He destroys Anahol's oversoul and puts a gun to his head demanding him to take him to Sati so he can revive Jeanne and Lyserg, who were killed when the car exploded.

Earlier, he, Porf and Larch went on a mission to kill Hao and were all killed in the process. |
| The X-Laser revealed the location of the Shaman Fight to the world, so Hao decided to finish things off and said that they (meaning investigating authorities) would be surprised to find a deserted island with a stadium full of bodies. |

Other X-Laws include:
| |
| Hans Reiheit- An exiled X-Law and the most dangerous with a furyoku level of 470,000, with Hao's level at and even 300,000. His angel Azazel can only be oversouled for 3 seconds, therefore, Reiheit cannot defeat Hao, who has the ability to oversoul the Spirit of Fire for many times that. He is also the keeper of the X-Laws' arsenal. Hans is known for being extremely handsome. My mistake. he wasn't killed when his Oversoul exploded. He eventually saves ___?___'s life and eventually proposes to him. Needless to say, I think they live happily ever after. *sniff* It's no fair. I liked Hans first! |
I've noticed that almost all of the X-Laws were impaled. Other people in the manga get impaled too. What's up with all the impalement? It must be the favorite killing method.
