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.

Post 3:
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

I wonder if Demolt's spell is like Rauzuruk preventing him from casting other spells.
Gabriel Cox
...
Thomas Davis
Riou also has a "forbidden" that makes him go berserk so that's got me wondering...could it be that it's not the powers that be that altered Kolulu's personality but rather it was just an unfortunate side effect of an extreme body enhancement spell she inherited?
Aiden Murphy
...
Jack Johnson
Probably not. The spell you mentioned for Riou has the same suffix as Demolts: "Barusuruku", which is obviously meant to sound like "Beserker".
Kolulu's spell is "Zeruku"

I remember Zaguruzemu was supposed to be dummied out in the Mamodo Battles game, but you could still cast it with a 360 motion.
Dylan Wood
That's interesting, do you have a video or anything about it? How do you know it was meant to be cut and it's not intentionally there?
Cooper Thomas
Also, I love how leila says Demolt is supposedly stupid and reckless, but even when his book keeper is out of the picture and he's in his berserk form, he's still pretty tactical, as seen in last page

time for second best girl to show why she's in the spot, on top of her bants from last volume
Leo Mitchell
Sunbeam was cut out of the game because spoilers, pretty sure Zaguruzemu was supposed to go too.
Also, spells are done in a Smash like motion, directional + spell button. Zaguruzemu is the only spell in the game that requires an actual motion, 360, plus spell button.

Speaking of the Teo- prefix, here Zophis is commentaing that Brago's giganoreis is weaker then normal, and counters it with a teoradom
Which would imply that teo IS a powerclass, and like people think, it's lower then Gigano
But it's also been noted that Gigano reis seems awfully weak and small compared to other Gigano spells, so....?

With this the Ancient Demon arc draws to a close. Next volume is the start of the third arc!
The new OP would still have spoilers at this point though, so it'll be another volume or 3 before that gets posted
Joshua Bailey
cute u t e
Aaron Peterson
fuck forgot the file
Liam Foster
Really enjoyed the dump OP is the second arc as good or even better?
Liam Ward
Not much of a Brago fan but this is definitely one of my favorite moments in the manga.
Gabriel Thomas
I mean the third I guess sorry.
Easton Reyes
The next arc I would say is as good or a bit better as this past one.
IMO, it goes
3 > 2 > POWERGAP > 4 > 1
where 1 is volumes 1-11 2 is volumes 12-17 3 is volumes 18-midway into 29 4 is second half of 29 to 33

OP do you have a certain time frame that you dump? Every time I feel I've got your time down you end up being halfway though the volume already.

It was in her first apperance, but when she shows up at the ruins and fights Zophis it's a different dress.
I've been aiming for 5pm EST but today I had to start early because of IRL shit, which is sadly a common issue, hence
>can't give a specific consistent time of day yet due to IRL bullshit
In the OP
Liam Hall
So honestly what's the point of this? She's so powerful, and the world's clearly not going to be at peace. Why not stick around till the end to help out?
Jack Martin
Does anybody know exactly where the anime and manga started to diverge?
I know it's this upcoming arc, but I don't think it's next volume, is it?
Mason Allen
Sherry is cute!
Mason Harris
Chapter 212, episode 137
Lucas Martin
I wouldn't powergap 3 and 4, and also 4 has one of the best conclusions of all time, so that brings it up a lot in my eyes. Sorta like how MGS4 is pretty questionable quality, but the last fight is so good you want to love it.
Nathan Ortiz
Could Zeon's lightning spells proc off of Gash's Zaguruzemu?
Gabriel Collins
>pls no bully
Jeremiah Reyes
Imagine if Gash and Zeon weren't born as twins, but as one person. The power wouldn't be split between them and the resulting demon would get Baou from the start. He'd probably be the strongest Demon behind Clear.
Gabriel Perry
What if Saifojioo had just been an actual sword?
Parker Nelson
Riddles would be bisected
Isaiah Martin
I'd say yes. Zagerzumu is described as just applying an electrical charge, I don't see why who uses the electrical spell from there should matter
It's not even really clear (heh) if Gash kept Zeon's powerboost or not. Personally, I don't think he did, since Baou in the clear note arc only seems to be as big as it was inside faudo's brain
as a result, i'd actually say Gash with Zeon's power is just straight up WAY stronger then clear, like on par with his ultimaye form/whatever you call the possessed shin kurea senssou form
Jayden Torres
Yes!
Isaiah Edwards
Zeon? Dragon clan children? She probably could have just meant there are still stronger guys out there
Jaxon Walker
The cutest Belmont.
Jose Brown
Is there anyone more alpha than Brago? I really wanted to see some interaction between him and Zeon or Barry
Levi Stewart
Well Sherry is rich she can probably get a custom made replacement easily or It's magic like Gash's and Zeon's is
Jonathan Evans
The poor bastard. To think, Gash and friends consider themselves the good guys yet here they are, making grown men cry. How cruel.
Robert Roberts
He dindu nuffin. He wuz a gud boi

John Lewis
I always found this funny. How the book owners just fuck off right after their book gets burned
Robert Ward
Well, make sure you read all of last volume, maybe you missed some pages
Well what else would they do?
Your demon is gone, but your enemies demon is still there and can fuck you up.
Austin Lewis
>Looks like Sherry's fond of your clothes Sherry has excellent taste.
Gavin Brooks
I guess it makes sense that the only ones that stayed around were they got their books burned were friends of Gash since they wanted to help him. Most other pairs worked alone so they had no one to help. I just found it funny how they fast they leave. I wish some of them stayed a few panels more since I feel like a lot of them could have used a bit more panel time to not be such non characters. the pages with the various owners receiving the letters were fucking great.

holy shit these end pairings. Capri actually won
Asher Jones
>Best girl didn't win I'm still mad But holy fuck, that one Kiritobi fight is still amazing no matter how many times I read it

I read that whole sequence as Sherry running out of steam, then recovering. Since book owners are heart batteries and all. Classes are not that rigid after all, just look at later low-level spells

Unless they came to terms with the fact that the human race is doomed due to the lack of genetic diversity and they want to enjoy the final few generations as families.

It really is a shame
James Lee
And then there were this many.
There's a rando here I didn't cross off, it's because I'm fairly sure he's a one-paneler that Brago knocks out to make it an even 10 left.
Blake Nguyen
Well, they straight up say at the end that the minimum viable population might just stop mattering. Given that they already had the Earth deciding to bring Tarouza back to life, I don't think it's too far fetched

What a grat ending for this volume. I love how there were clearly 2 separate final boss battle, but the 2nd one didn't drag forever. I was afraid Sherry character would pretty much be done after that, since she finally got what she wanted. However her motivation to help Brago more than ever was nicely done.
Can't wait to see what's next.
James Moore
No real order:
