Ruby's to become a famous treasure hunter. Jio's to rule the world!
In a not too distant future, mankind battles over O-Parts, powerful relics from an ancient civilization. Jio is a young boy with a tragic past who only trusts one thing in the money. Little does he suspect that he is also a very powerful O-Parts Tactician (O.P.T.), and inside him sleeps a demon of incredible ferocity. With his partner, Ruby, Jio embarks on a dangerous quest to acquire as many O-Parts as he can.
After destroying Miko's robot body, Jio reunites with Ruby. They join with Ball and their other friends to search for the headquarters of the Zenom Syndicate, which has been making progress in capturing the Demons of the Reverse Kabbalah. However, little do they realize how all-consuming their search will become!
He is the younger twin-brother of Masashi Kishimoto (creator of Naruto). The two have been drawing manga together since early childhood, thus their styles are similar. As a result, the two have frequently been accused of copying the other. Seishi, himself, notes that the similarities are not intentional since they were both influenced by many of the same things while the more famous Masashi even asked fans stop calling Seishi a "copy cat". Seishi created the manga 666 Satan, which is serialized in Japan by Monthly Shonen Gangan and licensed by VIZ in America as "O-Parts Hunter".
I was surprised to get this one so soon from Amazon after getting volume 15...it seems VIZ is doing this "it just ends" with each volume now (being cheap in printing and costs, I suppose), rather than give us a "to be continued" on the last page, as this one did the same thing as volume 15. A lot of characters make their re-appearance in this series since the Rock Bird Tournament in volume 13 (and previous volumes)--some of them are paired up with the unlikeliest of partners! Ruby is finally rescued (but...seriously...she needs some real clothes!). Easy to see why the rating has graduated from "Teen" to "Older Teen" now! *lol*
Love it :D 666 Satan (which is the original titel for O-Parts Hunter) is definitely one of my favorite mangas :D It's written/drawn by Seishi Kishimoto, the youngest of the kishimoto-twins (Masashi being the eldest, and the author of Naruto), which is why it might seem similar to Naruto. However the storylines differ a lot from each other - even though they've got quite the same plot. But in terms of stories, I believe 666 Satan is way better than Naruto, and I'd like to recommend it for all shonen / action lovers :D
