Fourteen-year-old Kiyo, an arrogant genius who is teased mercilessly at school, is given a strange boy, Zatch Bell, for his birthday to help him make friends, but Zatch turns out to have strange powers that change Kiyo's life forever.
Fantastic volume! The battle intensity continues but some time for plot and emotion has been left here. This works really well! A third book in a row of pure battle might have been too much but just as we're ready the author gets back to the story. Our lovers from way back are back for this volume and I was soooo happy to see them. Of course, they bring an emotional story with them which brings back that part of the series that I love so much too. {sigh} As they are fighting their way to the top of the castle the plot thickens a bit more and we have a cute flash back to Suzy at home for some humour. I just love this series! It has everything.
Battling their way to Milordo-Z, Kiyo and Zatch start putting the pieces together about the mystery surrounding the reawakened mamodo - and help is on the way in the form of even more allies! Raiku amps up the action and mystery with this exhilarating entry. There's more to these ancient warriors than meets the eye...
We get a really good fight with Wonrei and some more development for him and I remember why I loved Zofis as a villian. As he loves in how evil he is and acts pretty much like your old school cartoon villains as all he needs is a chair and a cat to stroke.
