Gash Bell

Every demon has to die by the end of this, there can be only one winner.

Gotta kill a few of the good ones each arc, and a few of the bad ones. Killing a few good ones each arc raises the stakes, since you don't know who might die here.

Previous arc is was Kid, Leila, Patty, and a few others.

>>136168721
I know that, but at least let them be defeated by a demon. Not "burn my book before I die."

>>136168796
Unko Tintin was pretty tough, Won Lei surpassed what was possibly against him for a brief moment, and had a good scene by the end.

Barry was one of the best as well, even until the end of the story he's probably one of the strongest, but his character arc was sort of wrapped up when he got over his arrogance and pride and perfected his personality. He got his final battle against his rival and had a somewhat good showing there, but obviously Gash needs to be the one to fight the next guy from a personal angle. After all you've probably noticed that Zeon looks just like Gash, and there's probably a reason for that.

They gotta start eliminating everyone at a faster rate with this arc, and the next one. Since this is the final hundred chapters or so.

Why Momon didn't become a monster like Koruru if he was running away from battles all the time?

>>136168928
I liked how Bari grew as a character, but after finding out he defeated one of the prodigy dragons seeing him go back to the demon world the way he did seems like a waste.

I liked how Won Lei went out too, protecting what was most important to him. But I thought he was gonna be one of the last remaining, so I was disappointed to see him gone so early.

Am I really gonna have to keep reading under the assumption Tio, Umagon and fucking Kyanchome will be in the final 10?

>>136168356
You're not even at the best death

>>136169081
She had nothing regarding battle sense, she was just a normal kid in the end. Momon was actually pretty proactive about shit, but just in a backwards way.

Though in the end, who knows. She was more a demonstration of how the system could be fucked up at times.

>>136169296
Tio, Umagon, and Kanchome are final five or so; but shit is going to get painful in the final arc, where they're pushed to their limits.

Of course Tio, Umagon, Kanchome, and Gash have pretty good odds of surviving since they've basically formed a team here. If anyone tries to attack one of them, the others are there to bail their ass out.

Although I will say that Gash does end up fighting one of the good demons before the end, in an all out battle. Rather than it just being him vs evil guys the entire time.

>>136169296
Kyanchome is the strongest character in the series and could buttfuck the final 3 with his hands tied behind his back.

>>136169429
>Although I will say that Gash does end up fighting one of the good demons before the end, in an all out battle. Rather than it just being him vs evil guys the entire time.

Actually, twice come to think of it, but Gash loses one of those.

Its not really a fight to the death at least. Though he does use Baou.

>>136169496
>Use answer talker to understand Kyanchome's powers
>Attack him from outside his range
That said, Kyanchome was broken.

He wasn't allowed to use Answer Talker

>>136169429
>final 5 or so
What the fuck. So are the final 5 those 3, Gash and Brago?

>>136169708
Answer talker would just tell him "it can't be defeated without asspulls" just like it did against clear.

>>136169775
Final Villain
Brago
Tio
Umagon
Gash

I think those are the last five

>>136169775
Don't complain about spoilers now.

Did he end up with the idol?

>>136169889
Yeah, that's last 5.

>>136169899
Well, I don't wanna be spoiled, I was just wondering if they were the final five.
>>136169889
>final villian
I'm guessing it's not Zeon, since I feel like he's gonna get defeated before the frado arc ends.

Tell me /a/, why is Gash Bell so good?

I find hard to believe that there so few mangas that can be both light-hearted and good at the same time.

The only other series that I can come out that could compare, without being necessarily better, is Medaka Box.

Why Victoream appears as one of Gash's friends during the final chapters? I don't even remember he doing any melon reference in the manga before that point, did that happened in some kind of extra chapter?
Also that first ice child.

>>136170537
He just became insanely popular in between. Gash las surprised to see him.

Plus, it was fun.

>>136170537
He was a good guy really, kind of like Leila. if the fate of the world is on the line, he wants to help.

He was also a very popular character.

>>136170537
That Victoream episode.
Eats a wish granting melon, tries to wish for another melon.

Zatch Bell amirite

>>136170103
>mangas
We really need to crack down on not telling people to stop this. It's rampant all over /a/ now.

So what are the chances that the Zatch Bell 10th Anniversary gives us a special chapter showing Zatch grown up and in demon high school?

>gash bell
what year is this

>>136168356
They were supposed to die in the original version, but they forced him to pull out books.

>>136170103
FMA called...

>>136170630
>>136171078
Also Norio Wakamoto, the anime had some problems, but it did a lot of things right.

>>136169769
who's this edgy guy?
wasn't Folgore the master/owner of Kyanchome?

>>136174351
Zeon's master

Of course he's the mentor in the final arc, since every time you beat a bad guy he's converted to the good side basically.

He unlocks the heroes potential, so that they have a chance against the final boss.

So much character development in these moments. This manga made me cry so fucking much as a teen.

>>136168356
Barry was such a fucking beast. He should have been in more fights.

I was so disappointed in this manga that I didn't even read the last 20 chapters.
Guess people hyped it too much for me.

What were you expecting? It's just a corny action shonen. I think it's a corny shonen done very, very right. My favorite "mon" series for sure.

And you sure lasted a long ass time reading it if you didn't even liked it. How much was that in volumes, more than 30? Sounds like torture to me.

>>136178835
its not that bad
but some people here talked about it like the best shonen ever
my expectations were probably too high
finishing it right now after all

>>136168356
Leave now! Stop spoiling yourself.

Yes the main 4 stay alive.

Also Ted was best demon second was Barry.

>>136178415
Thats' weird. It's my favorite manga and is by faaaar my favorite shonen.

Raiku knew how to play with my emotions.

Well, it's not the best thing ever but I still think it has fairly strong characters (if corny/trite) who learn, change and grow, and pretty good action, definitely above average; and from the very beginning. Some fights are just awesome. Baransha's and the team fight against Demolt for instance are beautiful in my opinion.

Plus Raiku is very good at doing insane random shit and it's very amusing. His cartoony reaction shots are 10/10.

>>136179280
>Zeon doesn't dodge his attack to show respect for him later
This guy indeed.

>>136177099

Awesome fights full of tactics; with power progression, energy pools and attack calling that fucking make sense, all of this established and consistent in quality from the beginning. Characters that, while not too deep or even original, have actual development. Mons have personalities and often, a great relationship with their human, seeing them go can be really sad, this manga is very good at this. Also Raiku's sense of humour mixed in. That's good too.

Just an overall good shonen for its intended purpose; being fun.

Because it's a shounen where the power of friendship is an actual attribute that boosts your powers. Someone giving you a helping hand will physically give you a power boost, and Gash is the friendliest motherfucker on the planet.
Raiku is also fantastic at writing quick characters and doing gags, and he managed to pace Gash in a very very good way until the last bit. He also pulled off all of those cliche yet badass moments that shounens usually have in ways that didn't ruin the character.
ENGLISH RELEASE PAST THE FAUDO ARC NEVER!

VERY MELON

>>136180036
The fact that the hippo reference from way back to around folgores entrance all the way to near the ending was so amazingly pulled off

>>136183254
very shit

>>136183578
VERY CUTE

>>136177099
I loved and cried when rodeaux dies in the manga, but was so disapointed when in the anime he dies like a minor villain

>>136185352
>watching the inferior anime when you could read the superior manga instead

the final battle was so disappointing BAOU ZAKERUGA

>>136185663
I grew up with the English dub, but I wouldn't mind the source. Should I just head over to m****a**.com?

>>136186957
well, in some places there is only to the chapter when sherry snipe the fuck out of zeon, i dont remember where i read all the manga

>>136187247
How many chapters is it? If I know how many, I'll find it.

YOU KNOW WHO'S GOT THE POWER

anon who watch the lame anime, did zeon reddem himself when defetead or go back to the demon world still a cunt?

>>136188026
He's technically running the kingdom while Gash is the face.

>>136188026
anime he stayed mad as fuck at Gash for shit that wasn't his fault.

In the manga he got over it.

>>136189100
thanks anon i was sure it was not the same

>>136189049
Nah, the bonus chapters show that Gash really is running shit, somewhat, even though Earth is the one pushing Gash the entire way and getting him to do work.

Earth is Gash's vice president who you could say is actually running shit a bit in the background.

Although Zeon probably helps a lot.

>>136188026
Zeon loves his big brother very much.

Also to the anon asking about chapters, they're all on Batoto.

>>136188026
Anime and manga are entirely different

Especially in the portrayal of Zeon, and that arc in general.

Zeon had reasons for his shit, even if he realized his reasons weren't really right in the end. His reasons gave him some credence however, compared to the anime where he was just an edgelord or something.

>>136189487
Fuck just rereading that chapter made me tear up.

FUCK..

I still don't get why Zeon's father gave him such a meaningless harsh life if he knew that Zeon inherited his malice and was already likely to revolt.

It's not like he was training Zeon to be the king. I don't understand his motives.

>>136189918
How can a mere peasant like you even pretend to understand the motives of a king?

>tfw there will never be a sequel series that details Gash's demon school adventures in parallel with Kiyomaro's high school life and internal moral struggle over the use of Answer Talker

>>136191452
he lost answer talker before the final fight though.

>>136191452
I wouldn't want that anyway. If he still has a series in him I'd love to read something new.

The animal thing was great for something with such a stupid premise. But the damn stupidity of the story hindered my enjoyment.

Like why couldn't the fish talk? What's this racist bullshit?

>>136191586
See we got a fish fucker in this thread, apparently.
But really, the real tragedy of that series was that it got so heavy that he changed the genre halfway through from seinen to shounen. And unlike gash, he didn't have time to develop ANYBODY new because of a timeskip so we'd get: Tough animal appears --> Gets a sobstory --> Dies nobly. Final fight was fantastic though, since it wasn't completely focused on the shit villian, original gangster, triple G.

>>136191539
That fucking dream chapter. There's a ton of shit I barely remember about this manga, but I will never forget that one chapter.

>>136191679
Dude I think his assistants begged him to end the giant chimera fight fast.

Drawing that shit must have been worse than hell.

>>136191539
He got it back, which was an entire point in the final arc.

Dufaux trained him how to use it again

He lost Answer Talker before the final arc, and then gained it back, when Dufaux taught him that he just wasn't using it right yet.

>>136191769
There were multiple giant chimera fights, hell I think EVERY fight post timeskip was a giant chimera fight.
But they were serialized monthly, so they had shitloads of time.

So Tio was a closet Tsundere all the manga?

>>136191679
imo the ninja weasel's fight against the bug chimera was literally the best fight raiku ever wrote

>>136191789
My point is he can't use it in daily life so a slice of life where he struggles over the use of it would not be feasible.

>>136191996
Which is disproved in that image

He couldn't use it normally at first, since he could only use it in dire situations.

However he trained to be able to use it normally after that.

>>136170103
>Gash Bell so good
Because Kiyomaru had some absurd character growth.

>>136179280
Best death.

Rodeaux was awesome.

>>136191452
That extra chapter in Animal Land makes me not want it to happen.

>No one talks to Gash because he's the King
>No one hangs out with Gash because of King duties

Being the King is suffering

>>136192854
This. That extra chapter was shit and I hated it.
