With the first arc having drawn to a close as of volume 11, 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.
>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 due to changes it makes and missing the last arc (nontheless, here's a link to the anime episodes: anime.thehylia.com/downloads/series/konjiki-no-gash-bell-), 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.

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

Levi Flores
jesus christ how did this guy ever lose
Was stone golem that OP? Was the stone attack something you couldn't defend against?
Xavier Diaz
Earth would probably be able to win with some help, since his spells cancelled out a Zagerzemu boosted Baou, which is what eventually beats Demolt
Justin Richardson
So, OP, you're really planning to scanslate the entire series to make it higher quality and fix mistakes, right?
Do you plan on using the Japanese or the dub names?
Benjamin Nelson
...
Eli Thompson
Is rauzaruku the spell that jobs the most?
Noah Young
Oh yeah. You know. With how much of a hard time Earth tends to have in battle and with how easily he had got beaten by Goomu he kinda dropped out of my radar.
Jose Wright
>jobs Must we keep spamming this meme every time? Some spells work some times, other times they are overpowered. The end.
Aiden Thompson
From what Leila's said, Demolt is an idiot and right now a lot of the skill is coming from his book keeper
Maybe his bookkeeper 1000 years ago was just really terrible at what he was doing, maybe he was a coward who saw golem and ran.
Jordan Rodriguez
Well, not really "scanning"; i'd be buying the volumes digitally and ripping the pages
>Do you plan on using the Japanese or the dub names?
It's something i'm continually going back and forth on. I really think a lot of the dub names for spells is closer to what Raiku intended the spells to sound like, but at the same time, the dub ended early, so not all the spells have dub names, and mixxing and matching presents issue since the names of spells actually mean things, so if there's a spell past where the localization ended, and it has a prefix in it that DOES have a localized form, but other prefixes or suffixes in it that aren't, that would fuck up the pattern
What I think i'll do is for the most part use japanese names, but if the english name works better, i'll include a translators note explaining the pun, maybe?
Mason White
Perhaps his partner was an uneducated serf? It was the medieval era, after all.
Jaxson Murphy
Earth is the actual jobber of the series. Does he ever actually win any battles?
Jackson Cooper

Henry Bailey
It's totally my headcanon that demolt rampaging about 1000 years ago is what inspired people to depict Satan the way he is now, with bat wings, goat legs, and a horned head

Didn't he beat Gash in his first appearance?
Lincoln Thomas
>It's totally my headcanon that demolt rampaging about 1000 years ago is what inspired people to depict Satan the way he is now, with bat wings, goat legs, and a horned head That fits perfectly since the devil was originally just an angel who stopped following gods direct orders and wanted free will. The story just got a bit exaggerated over the years so Demolt surely wouldn't have helped.
Thomas Ramirez
He nearly beats gash, then Ted comes in and he and gash nearly beat Earth before Earth escapes
Luis Gomez
Patty's bookkeeper was my favorite character back when I watched the anime. They're such a mismatched team but it works so well.
Elijah Bennett
Yeah, Earth pretty much had Gash in checkmate before Ted intervened.
Justin Torres
Not to mention "jobbing" as described in this thread is always going to happen because that's how powercreep works.
Jack Perry

Tyler Green
It must have been interesting to see him trying to find his book owner too.
Brayden Smith
Exactly. It just shits me off since the jobber meme is getting heavily overused these past couple months and really ran into the ground. I don't know what happened, but it just annoys me now.
Connor Murphy
>I love that all this time Frog's partner has been purposely being unhelpful as to not help Zophise. He just decided fuck this guy he can get bent.
Based Alvin.
Samuel Moore
Makes sense. I don't think Zophise would have wanted a demon around that was too weak
Luke Nguyen
What even is the point of it anyway? What is a non-jobber character, one of those isekai MCs with everything maxed? Someone who wins more than he loses? That just means the plot is convenient for him.
Jonathan Rogers
Shouldn't Zophise been able to sense the TRAITOR nature in Alvin's heart, though?
Blake Russell
Alvin knew. He just wasn't going to let him be uncool and serve a fag like Zophies
Isaiah Reyes
Japanese names, but the way I translate them might not be as strict as this translation
Like, this translation translated Victoreem's partner as Mohican S, and the dub did Mohawk Ace. I'll be doing Mohican Ace. For the core group it'll definetely be Gash, Tio, Umagon, etc. Kanchome will probably be Kanchome because Kyanchome is fucking stupid, but we'll see
Barry will be Bari, most likely. Brago will be Brago, Burago is stupid. Undecided on Zophis vs Zofis vs Zophise, but i'm 99% sure it won't be Zophise
Kevin Sanchez
...
Anthony Gonzalez
>yfw you realize that the first time Kiyomaro accidentally casted zakeru on the first chapter of the manga, he did so because he screamed ふざけるな!(fu'zakeru'na) while reprehending Gash. Some things really just end up lost in translation.
Adrian Kelly
Someone who doesn't lose specifically to show how strong an opponent is.
Nathaniel Allen
...
Oliver Lopez
Yep, its either a gary stu or a jobber. No inbetween; not just a well worked character with strengths and weakness. Fucking meme spouting children. We're getting off topic here. Sage.
Jacob Gutierrez
>Ragiant for a second I read Rajang. fuck you monhun stop eating my brain
Carter Barnes
Not really a way you can translate that. In the dub, Kiyo was trying to remember Zatch's name while reprimanding him.
Levi Ross
...
Aaron Johnson
But this is going to happen every time a big bad villain appears. You can't cycle the main cast for this when they're not equally strong, so obviously the strongest one will try to defeat it first. By default, the strongest will be a "jobber".
Luis Evans
>This time we'll do everyone!!!
Carter Reed
Why use a completely made up name like Ponygon instead of what the author intended?
Gavin Scott
To be fair "You look like a horse, and I want you gone!" was a pretty good joke
Blake Cox
...
Adrian Sanchez
Because the whole point of translating it is to change the Japanese words into English words
James Fisher
Gash's peculiar samurai-esque way of speaking is also lost in translation, it's a shame because it really adds to his charm.
Jace Powell
u muh gon, brotha (It's just easier to remember, which is good for a kids' manga)
Brody Robinson
>Those tears in Patty and Byonko Damn Raiku
Hudson Williams
...
Austin Sanders
If a series runs long enough for that to become a pattern, the "strongest character" ends up with a dire W/L ratio. See: Worf, Vegeta.
Though Zatch Bell sidesteps this pretty neatly.
Ian Brown
In that case the character is jobbing. A jobber is a character that always does that, but we're still supposed to see them as strong. For example, when we see Won Lei getting fucked by Demuto, he is jobbing to show strong Demuto is (note that this is not a bad thing). However, this does not make Won Lei a jobber as this does not happen consistently.
Brayden Bell
Again, pattie's ultimate spell here really only knocks demolt off balance, and does basically no damage
Hey, for anons who watched the whole anime, does anybody know what episode Bari vs Ted is?
It's anime filler, but it's well done enough i'd like to post it when we get to where in the manga it WOULD be if it wasn't filler
Carter Johnson
Is that what they did in the dub? Sounds funny but how does that make any sense with everyone else who sees Umagon later and names him in the same way?
>Kanchome will probably be Kanchome because Kyanchome is fucking stupid I kinda agree but it's still the name the author chose. Leave it to the reader to think it's stupid or not. Reminds me of the Hokuto no Ken scan I was reading the other day which had a page with a translator note saying they were not gonna translate an attack name because it sounded stupid, I still wanted to know what the name was anyway.
Which doesn't mean you change character names, or else you end up with the main character Kevin and his school friend Suzy. You know, the kind of shit we make fun of 4kids for doing? Changing spell names like Gravirei instead of Gurabirei or debating if it should be Zaker or Zakeru I'm ok with though.
Justin Carter
>Byonko bitchslapping a huge demon that frog is fucking cool
Owen Cook
Its in the 100s I think.
Cameron Wright
Umagon isn't even a name, it's a description. If I translated it I'd call him Ponymon or something.
Ryan Price
I completely forgot that this was a Dioemeru spell.
John Mitchell
I understand, but this is a joke name based on a pun Kiyo made on the fly. It's different to, let's say, the meaning of "Parco Folgore", which never comes into play so the kids don't need it translated. That's why I'd give this one a free pass. No reason to change Suzume either, for that matter.
Joshua Morales
>I kinda agree but it's still the name the author chose
Is it? If it is, then i'll keep it that way, but I was under the impression the Y was just how people choose to translate how it is in japanese, and either or is accurate
I figured that was also true of Bari vs Barry and all the ways Zophis can be translated. If one of them is actually clearly closer to what the intent was and you can explain how, i'll make a note to myself to use that particular translation
Carson Clark
>Patie and byonko down!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Matthew Ward
Good, get rid of these shitters.
Kayden Barnes
Actually, if you give me a minute, i'll post all the things I have noted to look into what the most accurate translation is for:
Robert Reed
>I was under the impression the Y was just how people choose to translate how it is in japanese, and either or is accurate
>I figured that was also true of Bari vs Barry and all the ways Zophis can be translated. If one of them is actually clearly closer to what the intent was and you can explain how, i'll make a note to myself to use that particular translation
I didn't know that either, that changes things a little. I don't know enough Japanese to answer that.
What are you talking about user? Sunbeam talked to him and Umagon clearly said it was his actual name.
Wyatt Moore
In jap, some syllables are missing (like Ti: Ta Shi Tsu Te To) but Ka is not one of them. Using Kya over Ka is the writer's intent.

Alrighty, added to my notes then.
What of Barry vs Bari and Zofis vs Zophis vs Zophise?
Bentley Fisher
Yeah nah, fuck you. They're arguably the most annoying characters in the entire series.

Austin Allen
Well, once he tried spelling something like Sunai... something, but I'm sure he was just confused. Everyone knows his name is Umagon.
Cameron Hernandez
It's not worth copying the foreign author's spelling if it makes the name awkward for the reader. It gives you shit like Gokuu and Kuririn.
Jacob Watson
>Bari >ヴィンセント・バリー If it was just Bari I don't see why the "ri" would be long. It's kidna dumb for a demon to have a human name but we have Ted, so it's consistent. (Also, the wikia lists him as Vincent Bari, where the hell do they mention Vincent?) >Zofis I got nothing. I guess it does look a bit more consistent with the western names but there's nothing that points to either form.
>Gokuu Sure. >Kuririn But that is his actual name?
Evan Diaz
How about fuck you. They at least grow as characters. And redeem themselves. And there's way more annoying characters
Ian Myers
I think Gustav says Barry's full name is Vincent Bari/Barry at one point
So you think Barry is more accurate then Bari, but what about Barry vs Barri?

It's either Kuririn or Kulilin, both are used. But the point is both of them are awkward and stupid sounding to native English speakers.

I know R's and L's are basically interchangable, so for Won Rei vs Won Lei it could probably be either, but for his and for Li/Lee yens, whatever is close to how it'd be in chinese would be best, I imagine
For Demolt/etc I wonder if "demort" is supposed to be a pun, with "mort" as in death. The anime also clearly adds a "o" sound after the T, like Demorto/Demolto or Demoruto/Demoluto

I'm glad that he kinda lied about Victoreem never coming back.
Also, I love Victoreem's fight the most for sure. It's hilarious and a lot of pure brilliant strategy.
Off topic: does anyone in this story ever just pull out a gun?
Oliver Martin
You should learn kana if you're worried about how to romanize stuff. It's not very hard.
Angel Richardson
I always thought of them as Wong Lei and Li Yeng.

Wyatt Diaz
If I can find somebody willing to translate them for cheap, yes. Same for the SFX since these translations stopped translatring them a few volumes ago too
I'll also need somebody to check over the translations in the spots i've noticed the wording is off/ where people in these threads have noticed it, as there's a long list of those
Robert Hall
I had forgotten they changed it to Krillin in the American dub and kinda missed your point, sorry. Still, "Gokuu vs Goku vs Gokou" and "Barry vs Bari" is just arguing romanization, you certainly should choose the romanization that sounds better. Changing the whole name like Krillin, Suzy or Ponygon though should be avoided, specially when those are just completely arbitrary names made by some American executive.
DO NOT sexualize the Gash!
Don't forget the Rocketeer gear too.

this dude definitely screams 'DEMON' to me, basically like a cute, smaller Demolt.
Hell! he fucking cals himself HADES!
Natsu (catgirl) aint bad, Love miniature oni Baiken, and Meburon (samurai bugdoll) can be better.
Mukuromo (ghost girl) looks excellent
gotta love Carol (Not-hoppip) and Kyubyu(Not-sakuyamon)!
Alexander Edwards

On an tangent, I think Pattie's canon colors here look not so great compared to the anime coloration
Xavier Jenkins
>I wonder if Zophise is a pushover compared to this guy. I don't think I should need to spoiler this since it's just my educated speculation after reading ahead, but:
Even after you read it's hard to compare, because Zophise is fighting Brago and Demolt is fighting the main gang. Would Brago have an easier time against Demolt? Would the main gang have an easier time against Zophise? Hard to know.
Kevin Peterson
He sure loves bullying his own characters.
Blake Foster
I imagine since the book owners have to travel all around the Earth, its probably difficult to reliably have a gun or bullets on them
Xavier Russell
She's so cute
Nicholas Long
Check the kana forms (I think it's all in the wiki). >Gravi It would be silly not to follow the gravity model imo >Dufo lel no idea, Dufort and Dufoux are real names, choose whatever >Won Lei Considering the chinese pronounce the r kinda like in English, it's probably Lei >Li Yen Wikipedia says only uppity fags like Hong Kong use Lee >Bento-Bentou Old debate, no idea. >Seushiru That's the kana form >Bauren Kana form (of course, it's pronounced Bowren, so using Boren is silly) >EO No idea. Belugim kinda works because it reminds you of Belgium but that doesn't matter >Leila Layla works due to pronunciation, but Leila looks cute... A pro would use Layla I guess >Demolt Demort looks like a french word using "death" but given the kana, it's unlikely (it would be Demouto in that case), Demolt is fine. As for the O, japs mostly reduce final U so it's meaningless. >Gorgogio Gorgogeo is misleading due to the geo- prefix, so -gio is fine
Colton Reed
She was born to be bullied.
Caleb Bennett
Why does a discrepancy between manga and anime hair colors happen so often? Shit's always irked me.
Just follow this guide up through the "additional sound's section. All the names are written in katakana.
Jordan Lewis
Yeah, the cyan worked much better. Great dump, OP. Cheers.
Christopher Sanchez
>Would the main gang have an easier time against Zophise? I honestly think the main gang would have a harder time against Zophise. His battle is out in the open and he can fly, so he'd be much harder to hit. So Umagon, spell enhanced Gash and WonRei wouldn't be nearly as useful. Plus Zophise isn't toying with them and wouldn't hesitate to just instantly burn books when he gets the chance.
Christian Cook
>Gorgogeo is misleading due to the geo- prefix, so -gio is fine
Not sure what you are trying to say here. You saying that It's not actually geo, but since it's a stone spell, geo seems misleading relevant?
Considering that so many other spells are engrish (Gura/Gravi, Kurei/Clay, Guran/Ground, etc), I can't imagine that it WASN'T intended to sound like "gorgon" and "geo"
Jordan Foster
More Leila faces
Brandon Brown
Oh nevermind I was thinking of Gorm, since it looks like a bug and there's a bug called Gorgojo in Spanish... I'm a mess. Yeah that's the medusa-like spell, -geo seems to be the intent
Joshua Roberts
Gash Bell dump? Awesome, great series. Posting best demon being best demon in a very spoiler situation if you haven't read the manga. Or is it? How far did the anime go? I never watched all of it.
Caleb King
The anime went original before this scene.
Brayden Flores
Anime diverges before that. Chapter 212/Episode 137
Cooper Carter
Ah, that's a shame. It's my favorite scene in the series.
Angel Campbell
I always thought it was Dufaux
Lincoln Collins
The anime went to the end of the Faudo arc but a lot of that arc got it's events changed
Like what you posted never happens in the anime. Zeon never gets redeemed, Won rei loses to Roudex, not Unko tin tin, Earth gets his book burnt, etc
Anime really isn't worth watching, even outside of those changes it doesn't match the art quality of the manga and it doesn't match the tone quite right either, outside of a few scenes which i've linked to when I get to those parts of the manga (the end of the Kolulu fight, the Belegium EO fight/kid's book being burnt, Brago using baberuga gravidon for the first time, all instances of songs (Chichi oppai, very melon, Pattie's song she hums, etc).
You should really go at least watch the anime versions of the songs on youtube or something, those are great. The OST in general is really fucking stellar:
It's a shame, we could have had many layers of meaning with these names if Raiku knew a bit of french (or did his homework). Can't complain about it though.
Colton King
It's amazing how strong his spells are.
Owen Morris
Would Demolt/Kiyo be even more OP then Kanchome/Kiyo?
Lincoln Reed
>no Unko tin tin
Already sounds like shit.
Asher Morris
>just finished reading the next volume
Man, Brago's the coolest. Sure he looks like one of the demons from the contest, but man.
Dominic Sanders
>Unko tin tin Professional Megumi bully.
Dominic Davis
Much thanks.
Dominic Mitchell
He's there for the quiz part but he doesn't show up again after that, I don't think
Elijah Butler
What I'd give for seeing the phoenix scene with Megumi present
Parker Perry
That fight is the perfect representation of this series. Switching between life and death struggles and ridiculous comedy flawlessly.
Carter Flores
Won Lei for a close second. Why are characters who sacrifice themselves always the best?
Luis Davis
>phoenix scene
I don't think I've ever seen a fight so hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.
Joshua Hernandez
This cover reminds me a bit of the covers of volumes 12 and 13 from Hunter x Hunter.
Lincoln Roberts
>Leila's unchanging grin I'm kind of creeped out. What did she mean by this?
Connor Anderson
She's just really chill and knows that Patty did her very best, and that she's leaving the fight so it'll be daijoubu. Good thing that they didn't know about Mr Shin Kuria at this point
Owen Lewis
He kicked so much ass in the later volumes that he retroactively made the top 5 in popularity.
Austin Rodriguez
Thanks for the dump op
Connor Russell
I disagree.
The only reason Zofis took as much effort to take out as it did for Sherry and Brago is due to him using Koko against sherry. Gash's team doesn't care much about Koko
Also, Zofis wouldn't be able to tank nearly as many hits as Demolt did.
As far as Sherry and Brago vs Demolt and Robet, I think in isolation Brago would have a good challenge in demolt, but coordinating with sherry, brago and her coluld easily overwhelm robert and get demolt's book. If demolt got into his beserk mode and swallowed robert right away, I think the fight would probably be dead even
Grayson Diaz
Raiku being childish gives me a heart boner
Brandon Hall
Kolulu really drew the short end of the stick compared to demons like Tio, Kyanchome, and Momon, didn't she?
Xavier Perez
In what way?
Aiden Richardson
Come to think of it, it's great that Sherry and Brago actually scared Zophise into undoing Koko's mindfucking instead of magically befriending and forgiving. This kind of action that prioritizes character over general tone doesn't happen often in shounen manga. We didn't get to see many of her spells, and her ultimate is pretty hack too
Ethan White
Her spells forced her into a super violent battle form against her will when her true spells are about maintaining and protecting life function. Compared to the other characters with support movesets not counting Shin Poruku who didn't suffer from the same thing
Isaiah Bell
But that's because Kolulu didn't want to fight at all. Tio and Kanchome still wanted to be king.
If Kolulu did want to fight, she'd just get a support set, probably.
Jonathan Harris
The question is whether her berserk form would be controlled if she wanted to fight.
Dominic Walker
Did sunbeam have a form of answer talker?. I'm asking because last volume he was able to dodge the sun guy's beams pretty easily.
Robert Williams
If he did, Raiku never said so, but it is pretty odd he and Riddles both have those eyes and similar abilities
Dominic Robinson
I bet he's still waiting for someone to ask...
Julian Turner
Nah, I see Sunbeam's thing as just a strong sense of perception. He just saw through Pamoon's attacks by reading his eyes rather than actually foreseeing anything.
Riddles on the other hand I'm sure has it. There's literally no other explanation for how he found Sunbeam in the first place.
Evan White
Yeah but that's Mr. Prodigy.
Takes forever for Team Gash to reach his level.
Nathan Miller
Albert starts to cry here.
How did Yopopo move up despite being dead all this time?
Nicholas Walker
The anime probably got to Yopopo around that time
Ayden James

Hunter King
Raiden would be proud.
Mason Cox
SFX are something you could also just do yourself by learning kana, specifically katakana since its all just phonetics
Hell just having a chart by your side would be enough for the most part
Camden Wright
WITH THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE
Luis Scott
Well, also meant translating what the SFX /mean/
Like, the phonetics is one thing, but having dumped the first 13 volumes that had the SFX noted, a lot of the SFX aren't really obvious to what they mean.
Just from picking the patterns up, I know that the "shiiiiii-n" SFX is silence and "gata-gata-gata" is teeth chattering or fear; and I know from jojo that go-go-go is ominiousness, but if I didn't know any better i'd be like "what the fuck does a shiiiiiiiiiiiin sound mean?" So like, in that case, I want the SFX note to not read "shiiiiiiiin", but read "silence".
Or is the meaning of what the SFX are something I could more or less google?
The spanish dub ended literally in this page, with everyone running up the stairs. I was fucking mad as a kid and it still makes me angry that they finished it there.
Ayden Carter
Also, I realize this is speculatory, but do you think the Emeru\Emuru\Erumu in some fire spells is intended to sound like the english word "ember" or sound like "mera", since I know "mera-mera" is flames flickering?
thanks
Christian Hill
ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
Gabriel Price
We'd have to see the original japanese, but when it comes to pronunciation its always very clear cut, it only gets confusing when its trying to imitate a foreign word so the call is hard to make with spells, are they words, resembling words or just the literal sounds they make? and even then you gotta chose how to romanize it, L or R, B or V, etc
That said I can't really see ember being said any of these ways, you'd definitely have a B sound in there, maybe even a silent R like the brits do it
