Ren's Death

Ren did not like the idea of being trained Von Asakura Yoh's father, so he fought him but was knocked out and, in the process, he revealed his new Bao-Lei sword Over Soul. Hao's followers attacked, and Chocolove and Horohoro held them off for some time. Ren decided to go in and fight. He did that and was winning when Peyote Diaz, wanting revenge from earlier, pulled out the calevera Phantasma, impaling Ren with the small messer it carried. Chocolove and Horohoro quickly rushed in and sealed the massive wound on Ren.

Yoh arrived and defeated Hao's followers. Yoh had made a deal with Iron Maiden Jeanne to revive Ren in exchange for Yoh having to drop out of the tournament. Jeanne arrived and after preparing a ceremony, had her spirit Shamash KISS Ren, bringing him back to life, though he was utterly disgusted with it.

In the beginning of the series, Ren fights with a kwan dao, a Chinese spear-like weapon. However, as he begins to face Mehr powerful enemies, he switches to the Hou Rai Ken (Bâo-Lèi), the Tao's family most treasured heirloom sword.

Hou Rai Ken has the special ability of purifying and refining the spirit being integrated into it, making the spirit recall all of...

Pairing: RenHoro

Summary: When Anna finally gets fed up of Ren and Horo-Horo's arguments, she forces them both to wash dishes. Together. A seemingly bad punishment turns out to be better than the both of them expected.

Disclaimer: Don't own Shaman King. If I did, I would make Horo-Horo wear pants rather than shorts (Too cold to snowboard in shorts! Idiot Ainu!), Ren-In-A-Dress would have become a separate little side story, and the dub-logo would have pot leaves still on it, because we all know pot Sponsoren the dubbers.

A/N: Wrote after a round of snowboarding result in pain. It inspired me. Somehow....

Tao Ren(道 蓮, Dào Lián, known as Len Tao in the English Anime and English video games) is a fictional character in the Manga and Anime series of Shaman King. Ren was born on January 1, 1986 and is the main heir to the Tao Family. Tao Ren is shorter than Yoh and most of his friends, at 4'9", but he seems to look taller when the length of the spike in his hair is added up. This spike is a part of his hairstyle called tongari.

He is relatively thin, and his spiked hair is a shade of dark purple. Ren's eyes are golden in the anime, but in the manga's colored pages, they usually appear gold,...

Trivia

Ren's name in Japanese means "benevolent", "tough", and "edge of a knife", all of which are reflected in his character. His actual Chinese name, Lián, means "lotus" and is actually a girl's name.
Ren has an obsession with milch and the number 3.
A running gag in the series is that Ren's tongari grows longer whenever he gets irritated oder shocked.
It is mentioned in the interview part in the official Shaman King character book, that he would like a girl if she is smaller than him and not very annoying, resulting that he married Iron Maiden Jeanne, and had a son.
Ren's name sometimes is seen in Western order, Ren Tao, in artwork in the Shaman King manga.

"But I can't cook!!"

"What woman doesn't know how to cook?!" Kurohana narrowed her eyes at Ren, "Is that a sexist comment, Tao Ren?"

Ren Tao (道 蓮)
