Folgore and Kachome are going to need to give their best performance yet to survive battle their battle against one of the powerful reawakened mamodo, with help from Mr. Riddles! Raiku brings more humour and heart to this beloved series with another entertaining entry. Can the power of music and dance best this baddie?

Pamoon is easily one of my favorite Mamodo as I love how his spells work and it is pretty different from most of the other mamodo's. Also Belgim E.O. is a pretty funny character as he has such a creepy and sinister design but acts pretty silly. But I loved we learned how Kid Professor Riddle met and their background and it was pretty heartbreaking to all of that.

I was struggling not to cry reading this volume at work (I failed). Love Dr. Riddles so much.

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from this series so it was an especial joy to get back into reading another volume and remembering just how much I love Zatch Bell. The characters are all just so genuine and I love them so much! The plot doesn't progress too much for most of the book as we have our teams battling various 1000 year old mamodos the Zofis is controlling. The battle between good and evil is continuing with the good not necessarily winning but at least gaining more members. I love all the characters and the battle action. As the book nears end Zofis learns of a turncoat and comes to do battle himself bringing us the return of a very popular anti-hero team.
