Storytime: Konjiki no Gash!! AKA Zatch Bell: Volume 13

With the first arc having drawn to a close, the Gash Bell dump continues, finally arriving into an actual plot and where the series truly becomes remarkable.

Gash bell is a Shonen action/comedy series by Makoto Raiku. The basic plot premise is that there are 100 kids from the demon world who come into the normal world to fight until only 1 is left standing, who is crowned king;

I'll be making a thread every day (can't give a specific consistent time of day yet due to IRL bullshit) and will post 1 volume every day until the whole run is posted.

>FAQ:

>Why should I be interested?
It has really fantastic art, good humor, great tactical fight's with great choreography and is really excellent at utilizing both positive and negative emotions for FEELS; admittedly the series is a little rough untill arc 2 rolls around, after that all the above starts to really shine and continues to get better; the art in particular.

>Where are your scans from?
NULL's release. their site is here: n-u-l-l.net/ and they can also be found on bato.to and mangasaurus. EBJ has superior digital volumes for sale on their site, but they are japanese only, I'll be buying and ripping them eventually. There's also some really amazing quality Portuguese scans, but only for like 20 chapters halfway into the series, and, you know, aren't in english.

A-Destiny has really amazingly high res scans in english for the last 3 volumes, but they aren't publically available anywhere right now other then the last 3 volumes as jpgs on otakusmash, and the translation is generally nost as good as NUll's I feel in most cases. They also have 18-30, but thye quality isn't much better then Null's and the translation is still iffy.

>Isn't Zatch bell that kiddy pokemon ripoff?
You probably saw the localized anime. The anime is pretty not great, and the localization is fucking terrible. The manga is way better, but even it admittedly starts out only above average untill it gets into the second arc.

Oh boy here we go

I encourage you to post and respond to stuff as i'm dumping pages. It's far more fun for me while dumping if I see other people reacting to stuff that's happening and there' conversations I can reply to.

HOWEVER, please do not post images till I finish so the image limit isn't hit before then, and use your judgement for how often you post/how long what you are posting is. Don't overdo it.

DON'T POST SPOILERS (IE ANYTHING PAST THE CURRENT DUMPED PAGE OF THE CURRENT VOLUME) OUTSIDE OF SPOILER TAGS


=====================
=====================

Additionally, for people who have already seen the anime/read the manga, DO NOT post Very Melon. I'll be posting an extended version during the actual extra pages where it happens.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

I kind of wonder which human partner gets the most damage in total throughout the entire series, because I think even with what happens to Kiyo in the next arc that the title goes to Folgore.

...

Definitely Folgore. I honestly think he take more damage than Kyanchome.

...

...

>13 volumes
>first arc having drawn to a close

...

It's a pretty glacial start, I know

...

...

...

...

dang gash stronk

...

What a great face.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Cool I'm early for this one.

...

...

...

...

...

Another day, another 5 hours dedicated to Gash Bell. Where did everything in my life go so right.


>that editor's note
Ha. Even the translators were confused.

...

>bzzt, nothing personnel

...

the thing is, I didn't even notice a point where these translations referred to Zophis as female, anyways,

...

Megumi coming in clutch

>Tia and Megumi are blown away as if by a jet engine
Its the little things I love the most.

I'm really glad to see Kyanchome's growth is here to stay, and that him vs sheep eater wasn't just one time bravery

...

So close!

...

was really expecting a bait and switch with kyanchome getting swatted or something

I might be slower dumping for the next few mins because somebody playing my main just got on in this Pokken stream i'm watching

...

>my main just got on in this Pokken

Is it Garchomp?

Weavile. But the guy switched t lucario after the first match so i'm back to purely dumping

...

...

Might have use for that Kiyo panel

In a different context, of course

...

...

Tio and Megumi are such anamolies. Throughout the series their shield techniques are broken so easily to show how powerful an opponent is but at the same time when they're up to bat they fucking bring it. It's great honestly.

...

I'm not sure I agree, Ma Seshirudo/Ma Seshield I don't think has been broken at all yet.

It could probably cancel out Baou Zakeruga, even.

We failed to protect that smile...

...

...

Mindcontrolled schoolgirl-chan is pretty cute

...

>Folgore breaking the ice like the madman he is

It's one of those rare instances where putting all your points in charisma has an impact on the NPC dialog.

...

>tfw listening to Eden while this page pops up
Pure bliss

...

It's time.

[BEST GIRL INTENSIFIES]

Damn i love these upcoming characters.

>it's a kiyo ends the battle while laying prone due to to injury chapter

...

It wasn't injury this time though, Bao just takes so much energy that he drops every time he uses it, if you notice.

THERE SHE IS

THE STRONGEST

Fuck, he's got such a goofy design. I love it.

VERY

...

I like how the demon children are acting like actual children and playing with toys. It's just a small detail but I love it, it makes them look more realistic in mentality and it draws a sharp contrast since since they are forced into battle.

Megumi being the best as expected.

Here comes VICTOREEM!

...

I guess is right to get hyped for this battle isn't it?

Very.
Pun intended.

These fucking scanlators

They also commented on a line about global warming later

Fucking faggots

ITS TIME
youtube.com/watch?v=2uzYF5BDISg

you dense fucking nigger read

He did it.
He actually ignored the OPs comments and posted it anyway, the absolute madman.

CATCH MY HEART

No it's not yet, not in the manga at least.

what part of "don't post the song until the extras" you don't understand?

...

S-sorry

I know someone who can't read for shit.

lewd (´・ω・`)

...

>This fucking page
Tia's innocence, shattered.

>That first panel
Pfft hahaha

I love how Tio tells Megumi to draw water upstream, while Megumi is already doing so.

...

Megumi ships Zatio pretty hard huh

...

Ew.

>Gash chasing Tio completely naked
kek

Casual background rape

>even her hair is strangling him

I think its because Tio, more so then the other demons, really relies on her emotional state and resolve when it comes to spell strength

Water purified by shota. You can't get more clean water though.

>Since I've got a second I'm doing the bridge.

...

we jojo now

He's very very mad

Was the letter V even used in english a thousand ears ago

It's a miracle he can stay balanced on those feet tips.

>drinking water
>from a castle.
Should it be filtered?

But user-kun, its a natural hotspring just like in glorious Nippon.

...

So it's boiled.

Its been around at least since latin, although pronounced like a W.
Maybe his name should be pronounced "Wictoreem"

Okay.

>tripfag enters a thread

This fight goes down a bit differently in the anime.

In the anime, they combined some of the extra pages at the end of the volume into the events of the fight. There's a really infamous clip from the anime as a result of that, which people who are reading the series for the first time should see.

But i'll post it later when I post the extra pages

...

...

...

>Victoreem is in like every single game

...

Try to save the images for after the dump.

...

We disco ball now.
The anime does this fight justice.

>Kid needs a spell to separate his body
>Victoreem can do it whenever he feels like

...

Maybe one of the demons taught their book master their language, and English became a variant of that language?

>English is really just French, German, Latin and demon meshed together

...

They localized this guy as Mohawk Ace

What were the katakana they used?

I thought Mohawk Ace was honestly a good Localization, really. It sounded quite nice.

I prefer it too, I'd just like to know what Raiku put in the Japanese

...

dis nigga

...

You know, Raiku has such a good balance for comedy and legitimate fight scenes

RIP

>there was a chance he could have just totally knocked his partner out

...

...

...

So that would be Mohican Ace

I still think Mohawk Ace flows better, myself. But it's definitely not S

...

...

...

i'm dying

...

...

>This fucking fight
Good god, this shit is hilarious.

fucking cute

...

[ptsd flashbacks to the mamado fury Victoream fight intensfies]

...

>mamado fury
I feel like I really missed out, having never played any of the Gash games.

It was great! If you can you should get it on gamecube also thanks op for posting

...

can you still delete your post?...

Dude's a fuckin' Hippo

...

I never knew this many people liked Zatch Bell.
This is still one of my favorite series' of all times.

...

Same here! I'm glad so many people are posting and enjoying it. I hope someone dumps animal land next

RULES OF NATURE

I just binged that the other day because of these threads

It felt like Raiku wanted to make a better Clear with Giller

...

Why does Kiyomaro like using Bao Zekeruga defensively so much?

>fight fire with fire

Because if somebody is sending a fuckhueg spell your way, the only way to really not get hit other then dodging is to counter it with another fuckhueg spell

Tio's Ma Seishiru is a really strong shield, but we are approaching a point in the series where it's starting to not be able to handle what gets thrown at them.

...

...

...

Sooooon

I see what you're saying. In fact I got the same vibe.

It's nearly time.

...

I goddamn love these faces.

...

...

...

I absolutely LOVE that Bao Zakeruga stops being an instant win button over the course of the series. It's "I have to use that" that actually carries weight.

Man, this fight is great.

...

...

Oh I fucking love this.

>the glowing book

Get rused

...

kek, never even noticed that, that's great

...

What a ruse

...

...

OP, you're gonna do scans without these retarded notes from the scanlators, right?

...

>OP, you're gonna do scans without these retarded notes from the scanlators, right?
Hopefully, but that's not a scanlator note on that page. Victoreem is implying that Tio threw Kyanchome to make him "fly"

F for the defeat of glorious victoreem sama

That's actually note a note, but translated text. Sometimes Raiku writes character's verbal asides/mental notes outside of the text boxes.

...

My bad. I just remembered seeing a few notes like that, and mistook that for one

You mean V

...

It's time.

...

...

...

...

...

...

Worth noting Leila's book owner is named Albert, with a silent T. The translators here mistranslated it as "Albel" for the first few volumes she shows up in

...

...

You're talking about that extremely unnecessary one from near the end of the series, right?

...

...

Lord?

I remember in the anime Leila already starts calling Zophise by his real name.

...

That's Kiyo talking

Leila a best

Read the last panel, Leila was reaffirming what he just said.

I don't see why Leila would be aware of his actual name yet, so I think the manga gets it right

...

That's what I thought.
She tells Dalmos in the anime to spare Kiyomaro and Gash in exchange for her surrender to Zophise. She uses his real name.

...

Don't forget spoiler tags.

...

>jumping hundreds of feet from the air.

Tio wins the gashbowl before it even begins.

...

They're still on the lower levels at this point. That panel also shows them running, not jumping.

...

...

...

...

...

V

What a great plan.

...

>THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED

...

throwing kiyomaro is truly the best special move, the only reason they don't use it more often is because it's too strong

I love the scene when Tio gives the book back and then what happens after it. CUTE

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

>He's fast!!?

Just look at that fucking choreography.

The biggest problem I have with this arc is that it's so good it makes the rest of the manga after it seem worse in comparison

[furiously reconsider life choices internally]

Best boy.

I've gotta disagree. The next arc has even better fight choreography then this one, while still having more or less as good writing as this one. At the very least, this arc and the next are tied.

The final arc's writing isn't as good but again the choreography and art gets even better.

Hey man, spoilers

ponygons name was already mentioned in the manga many volumes ago, its not a spoiler anymore...

...

No, but now I know he's winning the demonb owl

The most groovy man on earth.

>burger dub names
eeewww

Blame Cred Forums for that, giving him satanic quads.

I loved this. Sucks they couldn't finish the anime. It was great from start to finish.

that was a joke based on the fact he got a get, don't worry about it

I like this arc better because it lets side characters take center stage and when the protagonist team does solve conflicts, it's growing slowly like everybody else instead of pulling something like Answer Talker out of their asses. Also, Leila

Other than that, though, the next arc is definitely legit.

...

...

is this the second time bao zakeruga jobs?

To be fair, Answer Talker didn't become a thing until the end of the next arc and even then, it only barely helped them survive fighting Zeon.

...

...

Oh shit it's the pegasus cloth!

>hired gun
>doesn't have a lot of loyalty

This manga is SHIT

>[ptsd flashbacks to the mamado fury Victoream fight intensfies]
I still question why they doubled his defense in the US release.

...

this manga has so many great characters

What mental abilities? I just assumed Riddle Professor half-answer talked his way to find Sunbeam.

Perhaps she's wondering why someone would beat up a demon before turning her into stone

I'ts very clever, that's why Umagon suffers a metamorphosis

...

It took me a minute to get one. Hah. I'm slow.

The fact he can communicate with Umagon and the dog, and the other stuff riddles talks about later

Fuck yeah best loli is here
Thanks for dumping, OP

...

Why the fuck did Umagon decline at first?

The little fucker has a life debt toward Gash.

...

Because he's afraid to fight and afraid to see Gash getting hurt. For the exact same reason as in the spoiler tag.

It's said right there, he was too scared at first, but then he stopped being a pussy

...

He has seen the shit Gash takes on, the poor little guy is scared.

...

I still can't believe dr riddle isn't a sushi chef. I don't know who to trust anymore.

Be careful that you get him pissed

...

...

Let's gooooo

that demon had the helmet of khorne berserker.

Trust in Big Boing, for she is the only thing that stays true in this turbulent, deceitful world.

Hayai.

>Out of the way, you little shit.

You know, the first time I watched this fight in the anime I didn't really care for Victoreem, but now I can see how hysterical this character actually is.

...

...

/r/ing
>wew

Their faces are weird looking

Is it me or is she just the cutest thing?

>stronger, deeper
this chapter title is 2 lewd

it probably symbolized "MAIM BURN KILL" in demon world, just like how the "S" on superman's chest symbolized peace in superman's home world kypton.

stop posting

Reira is precious.

Yeah, raiku draws human faces oddly. We are rapidly approaching where his art skills skyrocket though

...

Is this the best fight of all time?

kinda sad the fan designed demons from those extra pages 2 days ago arent gonna appear in the manga...

rekuru or karemeon would kick the asses of the other girl demons in cuteness alone...


tho, i may be imagining things but i think i might have seen rekuru in the anime, didnt watch it fully, only a few eps, but i think i saw someone similar (bottom left)...

geez I forgot this random mook had a goddamn MINIGUN

sorry bout that

I actually think the anime did a really poor job with this scene. The way umagon's striles are animated against dalmos is just bad

...

Jojo is in the same category as Naruto and soa. I have the shit permanently filtered, yet it still slips through in mundane places like this.

Mouth girl(cant read kanji, bottom right): is she supposed to be a sadako expy?

Will(injun chicken): maybe with a little more work.
Taime(chinese girl): ok, i guess

Suzy's loosing her mind.

Thanks for the dump, OP.
It was a very melon read.

Did this manga series ever get a proper full release in english? As in, did they actually finish the english release, and if they did was it any good?

If not, I'll probably just read through these threads or download them myself. But I would prefer to get it physically because I remember really liking the anime from what I remember.

I know OP posted links to download in the original thread, but I've been on a bit of a physical collecting kick lately.

Thanks for the dump

suzume is best girl and you can not convince me otherwise

She's practically a Yandere.

HOT DAMN!
That is groovy as fuck!

CATCH MY HEART

VERY MELON

Seeing Victoreem move around legitimately creeps me out.

OOOH YEAAAH

Much thanks.

No. Viz dropped it at volume 25 of 33.

>That Gash/Tio Doo wa
Damn, that is cute

Why.

Who's that oni demon?

The most adorable girl in the series.

Thanks OP, this dump made me Groovy

Man, Kiyomaru was way more of an asshole in the anime.

Man, this series really got the short end of the stick. Both the anime and english releases were just up and canceled.

was the translation good at least?

...

samurai tortoise girl(?): BADASS!
Priestess dog: ok?
PonPon(ballbot): good to know theres some more mecha demons when is 'he' gonna come?.
Micro(acorn guy), Starty(star guy): meh.
Feri(flower girl), Pororero(paint guy): cant make anything out of them.

Samurai girl: simple enough, she has cute potential
Kurotoran(plant giant): looks badass
Gogon(mole): not bad
Vulcan-G: poor raiku for having to sit thru all of those vulcans.
Nema: what said.

also poor suzy, nobody deserves to suffer that much, raiku can be such a dick...

OP here, I haven't read it in a longass time, but I don't recall any issues with it.

I know the localized versions of the spell names are arguably better then what the fan translations have though, since most spell names are phonetic engrish anyways.

Most people translate Brago's second spell as Gurabirei, but the localized Gravirei is obviously more accurate since it's a gravity spell. Same with Kureido vs Claydo, when that's a sand/clay spell, and "kurei" is clearly just an engirsh "clay"

Engrish tends to be better when spoken versus written.

It breaks my heart that there's no VERY SHIT in the manga

Cute.

I want Suzume to smile this brightly while supergluing her hand to Kiyomaru's.

I'm very concerned as to why Folgore is carrying plate and a sliced melon

He probably brought it for a snack.

I wonder if Leila is Gash's ancestor, considering how similar their appearance is. Not a direct relative, but maybe a great^30 aunt or something.

Gash's father was in the same battle as her, so not likely

Yes, that why I specified aunt, since Leila could have a sister for all we know.

>nothing in the story hints this
>grabbing straws this hard

Look I just felt like saying something since I remembered Gash has the same kind of horns, okay?

I reread it recently and very distinctly remember there being one. Am I just going insane?

>I wonder if the sky is like an ancestor of the ocean, considering how similar their color is.

>no, are you stupid

>look I just felt like saying something since I remembered that the sky has the same color as the ocean, okay?

Cred Forums sings Very Melon when?

>Kiyomaro's post-Faudo dream will never be animated into a full episode and full of Very Melon tier insanity

>"and with that, Kiyo lost his answer-talker"
That fucking threw me for a loop, even though it came back, only Raiku could do something so serious story-wise with a gag like that

I wonder how Rauzaruku passed all the way to where Gash was without any other demons noticing. I mean it's a giant bolt of lightning out of nowhere crashing through the ceilings and floors. They should of at least heard the roaring crash of thunder

Not to mention she is a shield centric demon, so she has both the combination of shields being her specialty, and her shields being majorly strengthened and relying on her emotional state, so she got a pretty broken move set for support

But Gash not only frees all the Millenium Demons, but also becomes the king, he protect that smile all the way

It probably didn't actually crash through the ceiling cuz magic and it's lightning so it happened super fast?

>It just keeps happening
