List of Zatch Bell! characters

This is a list of fictional characters found in the anime and manga series Zatch Bell!.

Current Mamodo Fight Participants and their Book Keepers

The competitors in the current Mamodo Fight, with several Ancient and fan-made mamodo.

One hundred Mamodo (known as Mamono (魔物, roughly "demon") in the Japanese version) children were sent to the human world to take part in the battle to determine the next king of their world. Fighting alongside a human partner, they all have different elements and abilities to assist them in their main goal: burning their opponent's book to reduce the numbers to the final one. The final ten of these Mamodo are known as participants of a special King Festival, of which they learn of the king's ability to change the world to whatever they desire, giving them more incentive to make the final outcome in their favor.

Zatch Bell and Kiyo Takamine

Zatch Bell (Gash Bell in the Japanese version) and Kiyo Takamine (Kiyomaro Takamine in the Japanese version) are the main protagonists of the series. Their element is lightning. Kiyo is a boy genius who was once aloof and unfriendly, his only companion being a ditsy girl named Suzy Mizuno. He learns respect for others on the day his father, a professor working in England, sends him Zatch, an amnesiac participant in the Mamodo Fight. They soon go on to eliminate many of the fight participants and become among the most successful teams in the battle. Zatch is the son of the enigmatic Mamodo King, who was raised as a low-level Mamodo due to his mysterious hidden power known as "Baō", which the king feared would corrupt his son. He was treated horribly by his stepmother Yuno, and upon arriving on Earth, had his memory wiped by his jealous twin brother Zeon. Zatch regained his memories recently, and Kiyo acquired a psychic ability known as "Answer Talker." Zatch's goal is to become a benevolent king who would not force the Mamodo to fight. He ranked 1st place in the fight overall, making him the new Mamodo King.

Hyde and Eido

Hyde (ハイド, Haido) and Eido (窪塚泳太, Kobozuka Eita) are the first mamodo team that Zatch and Kiyo encounter in the anime. Their powers are related to wind. At first, Eido seems to only care about using Hyde's power to steal things (in the Japanese version, he also uses the power to peek at girls' under garments), which irritates Hyde to no end. They meet Zatch and Kiyo on the rooftop of Mochinoki's high school after Eido decides that Suzy will be his girlfriend, but they are easily defeated when Kiyo figures out how to use the spellbook. They return and force a rematch by kidnapping Kiyo's friends, but are defeated once more, although they manage to escape without getting their book burned. Hyde and Eido were last seen at a Megumi Oumi concert during her first appearance on the series and never again. It is unknown that they survive until the end of the anime or not. They have never appeared in the human world in the manga, but Hyde is seen among the mamodo assisting Zatch with his final attack on Clear Note and appears to be in the same class as Pamoon.

English Voice actors: Hyde – Michelle Ruff, Eido – Robbie Rist

Reycom and Hosokawa

Reycom (レイコム) and Hosokawa (細川) are the first opponents faced by Zatch and Kiyo in the Mamodo fight (second in the anime). Their element is ice. Hosokawa was a poor maintenance man who discovered the Mamodo boy in a freezer and discovered the powers of the book. However, he chose to use this power to steal, making him greedy for money and power. To Hosokawa, Mamodo are nothing but tools to be used to get what humans want. Similarly, Reycom believes that Hosokawa is his tool to getting stronger and releasing his own powers. After an attempt to battle and gain Zatch as another weapon in his arsenal, the duo are defeated by the release of the lightning boy's second spell, Rashield. It is then that Reycom discovers the penalty of the attack the hard way, patting his burning book in vain as he faded back to his world. It is also possible that he was the first one out of the tournament.

Anime: In a slight adjustment in the anime, Hosokawa and Reycom are also the criminals who rob a jewelry store as opposed to generic criminals in the manga.

Japanese Voice actors: Reycom – Motoko Kumai, Hosokawa – Ken Yamaguchi

English Voice actors: Reycom – Debi Mae West, Hosokawa – Phil Hayes

Gofure and Renji

Gofure (ゴフレ) is a small puppy Mamodo who befriends Zatch after an argument between Kiyo and himself, staying by his side in the midst of a rainstorm. However, his true power and intentions are released when his bookkeeper Renji (連次) appears alongside him as the two Mamodo return to the Takamine residence. Although initially hesitant to fighting Zatch, the issuance of the spell turned Gofure into an obedient assistant. Gofure's main ability is the element of rock and an armor that covers him in rock. The two are easily stopped by the combination of Sherry and Brago, who burn the book off screen after dealing with Kiyo and Zatch themselves.

Japanese voice actors: Gofure – Daisuke Ono, Renji – Yukino Misono

English voice actors: Gofure – Steven Blum, Renji – Dave Wittenberg

Brago and Sherry Belmont

Brago (ブラゴ, Burago) and Sherry Belmont (シェリー・ベルモンド, Sherī Berumondo) are also main protagonists. Their element is gravity. Little is known of Brago's past apart from that he received special training in the Mamodo world, and as such is arguably the most powerful competitor in the fight. Sherry came from an abusive background in a wealthy French family, raised by a mother who only cared about the family name. One day, she fell into a river trying to kill herself, but was saved and befriended by a poor girl named Koko, and Sherry thus has a vendetta against the evil Zofis, who corrupted Koko. Brago was initially hostile toward the idea of a human partner, but he eventually discovered that he and Sherry make a powerful team; they have been known to defeat opponents within seconds. When asked what kind of king he wanted to be, Brago responded "strict, but kind." He ranked 2nd place in the fight overall, losing to a powered-up Bao Zakeruga launched by Zatch.

Sugino and Haru

Sugino (Sugina (スギナ) in the Japanese version) and Haru (Haruhiko (春彦) in the Japanese version) are an early team encountered by Zatch and Kiyo at a nature conservatory in Mochinoki. Their abilities are the manipulation of plants. Believing that strategy and tactics are the key to winning in battle, they meticulously plot out their circumstances before moving. Using this, they take all of the people at the conservatory hostage with their spells, forcing Kiyo and Zatch to start using tactics of their own to take them out.

Japanese voice actors: Sugina – Akemi Masaki, Haruhiko – Shoutarou Morikubo

English voice actors: Sugino – Michelle Ruff, Haru – Quinton Flynn

Kolulu and Lori

Kolulu (コルル) and Lori (Shiori (しおり) in the Japanese version) are one of the most influential and important teams in the tournament due to their sacrifice and their influence of Zatch's reason for battle. Their ability is a claw and fist influenced transformation style. Kolulu is a kind Mamodo girl who was one of the last children to find her partners. Her partner, Lori, discovers her alone on a rainy night around Mochinoki and takes her in and immediately makes her family, trying to make herself a more caring, nurturing mother compared to the lack of attention she received from her own family. She is also one of the first Mamodo to immediately know of Zatch from her time in the Mamodo World. However, their good times end when Lori discovers Kolulu's book, reciting a spell that transforms her into a nightmarish alternate personality that only cares about fighting and winning the tournament, programmed into her since she never normally would want to fight. After Zatch is forced to fight against her bad personality, she voluntarily chooses to go back to the Mamodo World to stop herself from hurting any more people. Her final words, about the desires for a kind, generous king that would stop the battles the Mamodo are forced to do, become the pillar for Zatch's reasons in the tournament for the remainder of the series. Kolulu returns to help Zatch and Kiyo in their battle against Clear Note, offering him use of a spell that protects them from any harmful effects.

Anime: Shortly before Zatch and Kiyo fight Rops and Apollo, Lori makes a brief appearance.

Japanese voice actors: Kolulu – Houko Kuwashima, Shiori – Yuka Imai

English voice actors: Kolulu – Kate Higgins, Lori – Philece Sampler

Fein and Sebé

Fein (フェイン) and Sebé (清兵衛, Seibei) are another of the early teams. Little is known about them, but their element is wind and speed and they are very sadistic. Having heard of Zatch's success, they come to Mockinoki to defeat him. They engage Zatch and Kiyo at a condemned building, and initially dominate then due to Fein's super-speed abilities thanks to his spell Uruk. Zatch defeats Fein when he manages to unlock his third spell, Jikerdor, which magnetizes Fein to a nearby billboard (a water tower in the anime), holding him in place while Zatch burns his book.

Japanese voice actors: Fein – Norio Wakamoto, Seibe – Shinji Kawada

English voice actors: Fein – Roger Rose, Sebé – Dave Wittenberg

Furigaro and Gerhart

Furigaro (フリガロ) and Gerhart (ゲルハルト, Geruharuto) are a minor team whose element is frost. They make a brief appearance in the anime and manga, in which they seem to have frozen an entire town in Germany with their spells. They are confronted by Brago and Sherry, and although Furigaro manages to mangle Brago's arm with his ultimate spell Lagikor Fang, Brago defeats them by blasting Gerhart at point-blank range with his Gigano Reis spell, instantly obliterating Furigaro's book. This fight occurs much earlier in the manga than in the anime.

Japanese voice actors: Furigaro – Hitoshi Bifu, Gerhart - Masayuki Katou

English voice actors: Unknown

Eshros and Shin

Eshros (エシュロス) and Shin (Shin'ichi (進一) in the Japanese version) are one of the early teams. Their element is Earth. Shin was a shy boy who was picked on as a child, and Eshros is a manipulative Mamodo who twists advice given to Shin by his late mother to convince Shin to destroy the places where Shin was bullied. Eshros claims to be an "elite"; one of the strongest in the tournament, and backs it up by having eight spells to Zatch's three when they fought. This claim is debatable, however, as Eshros seems to have gained these spells exclusively by destroying buildings. Shin befriends Zatch and Kiyo, but Eshros forces them to fight. Eshros also displays a slight transformation when he fights. The battle ends in a defeat for Zatch, but Shin, realizing that Zatch and Kiyo share a bond that he and Eshros do not, agrees to burn Eshros's book.

Japanese voice actors: Eshros – Yuki Kaida, Shinichi – Nobuo Tobita

English voice actors: Eshros – Scott Menville, Shin – Steven Blum

Kanchomé and Parco Folgore

Kanchomé and Parco Folgore are the main comic relief duo of Zatch's allies. Their spells are all illusion and Transformation based. Kanchomé arrives as a weak, cowardly Mamodo who knew of Zatch in the Mamodo World and believed him to be an easy target to eliminate. However the easy bonding of Zatch and Kiyo made this initial hunch fall apart, both due to Zatch's own growth as well as Kanchomé's seemingly useless abilities. His only pride was in being the Mamodo of the great Italian idol, known for his trademark of being "Invincible Folgore". (outside his own attributes of being a womanizer and having an infamous song about such actions) Yet Folgore refused to tell his Mamodo about the truth of his own past, being a former cruel man who only wanted to be strong and who was even abandoned by his own parents, choosing only to play up his more jovial strengths. As the tournament goes on, Kanchomé slowly discovers the strengths he held, both of his own spell abilities as well as discovering new spells that allowed him to discover the means to be strong.

By the King Festival, Kanchomé finally appeared to find the ultimate means to be strong, awakening the potential of his illusion abilities through his ultimate spell, Shin Poruku. However, while using this spell against the Mamodo Goomu, he nearly goes too far and becomes strong to the point of causing his opponents to have a mental breakdown and forcing even Folgore to restrain him. Yet even as he finally discovers the true meaning of being strong, Kanchomé was soon eliminated from the tournament in a sacrificial move by Folgore to protect him from the evil Clear Note. He ranked 7th place in the fight overall.

Robnos and Ruku

Robnos (ロブノス) and Ruku (Ryukku (リュック)) are a team who lured Zatch into battle under the false claim of having Suzy Mizuno held hostage. Their element is laser. Robnos was one of the Mamodo who bullied Zatch in the Makai, and simply wanted a chance to beat him up again. They fought Zatch and Kiyo in a freezer, using their ricocheting Biraitsu spell to gain the upper hand, until Kiyo discovers all possible paths that the laser could take and avoids it. Robnos then reveals his ability to split in half and recombine via his Rei Buruk spell. Even in this enhanced form, Robnos is defeated when Zatch electrifies the bulge on the back of his head, in which he stores his laser energy, and Kiyo drives a metal pole into it, causing an explosion which consumes Robnos's book. As he disappears, Robnos tells Zatch about a Zatch lookalike that he saw in England. This fight takes place earlier in the manga than in the anime.

Japanese voice actors: Robnos – Konami Yoshida, Ryukku – Tetsu Kanao

English voice actors: Robnos – Colleen O'Shaughnessey, Ruku – Wally Wingert

Tia and Megumi Oumi

Tia (ティオ, Tio) and Megumi Oumi (大海恵, Ōumi Megumi) are two of Zatch and Kiyo's closest friends and allies during the Mamodo tournament. Their specialty is both shields and somewhat weak energy boomerang attacks. Tia originally was a bully of Zatch's in the Mamodo World, picking on him for fun while spending her time with her friend, Maruss. But when they all came to the human world, Maruss' obsession with the Mamodo Fight made him throw Tia overboard off his bookkeeper's ship, where she is found by Megumi, a famous Japanese pop idol, while shooting a music video. Although Megumi and Tia share a special bond in being sisterly and caring towards one another, Tia spends more time with Zatch while her bookkeeper is away on business, both having fun and growing personal feelings towards him. While Tia's spells are never as strong offensively, her combination of healing and shield spells make her an invaluable ally as the Mamodo battles go on. In the end, she sacrifices herself and her book while using her shields to protect Zatch and Kiyo during an assault from the Shin Kuria Seunousu Zarefedoora spell of Clear Note. She soon returns during the battle against Clear Note by offering use of her new spell "Shin Saifogio" She ranked 5th place in the fight overall.

Maruss and Rembrant

Maruss (マルス) and Rembrant (レンブラント) are a team who end up pursuing the team of Tia and Megumi early in the Mamodo fight. Their element is metal. Maruss was originally Tia's best friend in the Mamodo World, caring and looking out for her compared to her bullying ways against Zatch. But once in the human world, his mentality changes, believing that friends can no longer be friends due to the nature of fighting and must go against one another to become king. Assaulting Tia in the midst of one of Megumi's concerts, Zatch comes to her rescue by standing up to Maruss until both their bookkeepers arrive to fight the battle against him. Ultimately, it is Zatch, the former "weakling" neither he or Tia cared for, who defeats the prideful Mamodo and forces Tia to change her ways about friendship in the heat of battle.

Japanese voice actors: Maruss – Junko Takeuchi, Rembrant – Masayuki Nakata

English voice actors: Maruss – Joshua Seth, Rembrant – Roger Rose

Baltro and Steng

Baltro (バルトロ) and Steng (ステング) are two of the main enemies Zatch and Kiyo face when they take a trip to England to discover more about Zatch. Their abilities is the manipulation of objects by use of a flower attached to the item they wish to control. After a former career as a boxer, Steng used Baltro to create a personal empire in a haunted castle in the British countryside, capturing villagers and servants for himself, including the parents of a British boy and Kiyo's father Professor Takamine. The latter was captured at the request of Zeno, who decided to have him taken care of for saving his brother in the forest. However, after Baltro and Steng are defeated by Zatch, Zeno removes Baltro from the tournament for his failure to dispose of either his brother or the father of his brother's bookkeeper.

Japanese voice actors: Baltro – Kiyoyuki Yanada, Steng – Kazuki Yao

English voice actors: Baltro – Phil Hayes, Steng – David Rasner

Zeno Bell and Dufort

Zeno Bell (Zeon Bell (ゼオン・ベル, Zeon Beru) in the Japanese version) and Dufort (Dufō (デュフォー)) are Zatch's main antagonists for a major portion of the Mamodo Fight. Like Zatch, Zeno's ability is the manipulation of lightning. The older of twin brothers of the King and Queen of the Mamodo World, Zeno is forced through a traumatic raising of his own, forcing himself to train for power due to not being born with their father's ultimate ability of Baō. After arriving in the human world, he soon discovers his bookkeeper Dufort in the deadly cold of the Arctic north. Sold by his mother for money, Dufort had spent most of his life up there controlled by a scientist who forced him to develop special psychic abilities (eventually revealed as Answer-Talker) until he was developed enough to escape before the lab self-destructed. Working together as a team, Zeno and Dufort chose to pursue any actions that would either win the tournament or torment his little brother, including stealing his own memory in a forest in England and stealing control of the massive Faudo Tower for both victory and revenge. But by fighting his little brother, Zeno finally understands the turmoil he had been through and goes back to the Mamodo World with no regrets. After Zeno returns, Dufort assists Kiyo's team in preparation for their battle with Clear Note.

Anime: Certain factors regarding both characters are changed in the anime: Dufort is an experimented mental patient when discovered by Zeno, while Zeno remains stubborn towards his brother even in defeat, destroying Faudo's control gem purposely to prevent him from stopping it.

Yopopo and Djem

Yopopo (ヨポポ) and Djem (ジェム, Jem) are a team Zatch and Kiyo encounter during their British adventures. Their abilities are the usage of music. After discovering Yopopo, Djem decides to adopt him as a little brother of her own. However, she soon gets sick of him due to his inability to speak Earth language (talking through his own name over and over or singing a pattern) and his desire to take part in the Mamodo fight, which Djem wanted to avoid at all costs. With his bookkeeper avoiding him, Yopopo spent most his time alone, singing and dancing in preparation for battle. Everything comes to a head when Kikuropu comes to eliminate him, forcing Yopopo to fight him by himself and nearly getting crushed. After seeing him nearly getting defeated by another Mamodo, Djem finally comes to his rescue, defeating Kikuropu but getting her book destroyed in the process. As Yopopo fades away, he finally recites Djem's name, the first word other than his own name he ever says.

Japanese voice actors: Yopopo – Hiroko Emori, Djem – Haruhi Terada

English voice actors: Yopopo – Dave Mallow, Djem – Dorothy Elias-Fahn

Kikuropu and British Gentleman

Kikuropu (キクロプ) is a Mamodo fighting alongside a so-called English Gentleman. His main attack style is body molding, combined with a special rock-armor covering his entire body. (and a paper mask over his one-eye to prevent anyone from seeing he is a true cyclops). The gentleman discovered fellow Brit Djem and her partner Yopopo and attempt to make them fight her for their own battle desires. However because Djem had left Yopopo's book behind at school, he instead takes his attack out on Djem's family and continues to threaten them until Yopopo battles them. Yopopo chooses eventually to battle Kikuropu by himself, but was unable to harm him until Djem (and likewise Zatch and Kiyo) finally join the battle. The monster Mamodo is eliminated by the two opponents: Zatch destroying the rock armor with his first usage of Bao Zakeruga and Yopopo's Doremikeru spell finishing the job.

Japanese voice actors: Kikuropu – Hitoshi Bifu, English Gentleman – Issei Futamata

English voice actors: Kikuropu – Dave Mallow, British Gentleman – Jonathan Fahn

Ponygon (Schneider) and Kafk Sunbeam

Ponygon (ウマゴン, Umagon) (also known as Schneider (シュナイダー)) is Zatch's best and most personal friend throughout the entire Mamodo fight. A small horse Mamodo who acts like a dog and bleats like a sheep, he comes from a long line of horse Mamodo who assist others by letting other Mamodo ride on their back. He and Zatch were best friends even in the Mamodo World, with the boy being the first to ever ride on him in the middle of a crisis and immediately recognizing him when Zatch returns to England. Eventually following Zatch home to Japan, he is regretfully adopted by Kiyo, who immediately can't stand him. Yet at the same time, he also is one of the last Mamodo to not find their partner, desperately wandering the streets when not playing with Zatch to find the one who could read his book, even if he can't stand fighting himself.

The one who finally is revealed to be Ponygon's partner is Kafk Sunbeam (Kafka Sunbeam (カフカ・サンビーム)), an engineer from Germany working on projects in Japan. Through Sunbeam, Ponygon finally finds the resolve and will to fight even if he can't stand going through it. Together, their battle style is armor enhanced by the element of fire and using various battle strategies and maneuvers to best manipulate his battle style. Though mostly an assisting Mamodo during the Milordo-Z and Faudo crisis, he defeated and burn the books of a few mamodo including Dalmos, Zaruchimu, Fango, Jedun (In the anime) and even Bari (even though he didn't actually fight him) with his skills and participated in many epic Mamodo battles and survived. Later on he is forced to mature on his own in preparation to fight the evil Clear Note. Literally growing up over ten months time, Ponygon finally proves himself by defeating Clear's Shin Kuria Seonosu Bādo Rerugo spell, but is soon sent back by Megumi at Sunbeam's request due to the exhaustion of his abilities in the battle and to protect him. He ranked 4th place in the fight overall.

Zofis and Koko

Zofis (ゾフィス) and Koko (ココ) are the main antagonists of the Milordo-Z arc of the series as well as Sherry and Brago's main rivals in the tournament. Their main ability is explosions, although Zofis also specializes in mind control. Born to a poor family in France, Koko befriended Sherry at a young age after saving her from suicide in a river. The duo assisted each other, with Koko striving to succeed to escape from her poverty and Sherry helping her do so. However, deep within she had her regrets about Sherry and her wealth, creating a deep jealousy she never showed outward to her. All this changed when Zofis arrived from the Mamodo World, taking Koko as her partner and immediately brainwashing her darker fears both to create an obedient partner and forcing the two friends against each other.

Unlike most Mamodo, who chose to fight for themselves, Zofis chose to take his own advantage of the petrification of over forty Mamodo from a thousand years ago, releasing them as his own obedient servants and brainwashing descendants of their original bookkeepers to fight for him. Declaring himself as "Milordo-Z" ("Lord" in the Japanese version), he used these Mamodo in a plan eliminate all of the modern Mamodo, thus freeing him to be king. However, several other Mamodo, including a team organized by Dr. Riddles as well as Sherry and Brago, ruined it by storming through his compound and eliminating nearly all of the Ancient Mamodo themselves. Sherry finally breaks Zofis' hold over her friend before Brago finally finishes him off, forcing him to never forget his humiliation as he's being sent back.

Pokkeiro and Periko

A Mamodo team from Brazil, Pokkeiro (ポッケリオ) and Periko (Beriko (ベリコ)) fight Sherry and Brago in the midst of the Amazon jungle. They hoped to use their powers to become rich. Their abilities involve the manipulation of trees. They try to confound Brago and Sherry by surrounding them in foliage, but Brago's fourth spell, Ion Gravirei, irons the foliage flat and exposes Pokkeiro and Periko. Brago then takes their book.

Japanese Voice Actors: Pokkeiro – Toshinobu Iida, Beriko - Satoshi Tsuruoka

English Voice Actors: Periko – Dave Wittenberg

Rops and Apollo

Rops (ロップス) and Apollo (アポロ) are an enigmatic early opponent in the fight for Mamodo King. Their ability is the manipulation of ropes. Born the heir to an American business company, Apollo initially chose to ignore his duties and instead travel the world, going wherever the wind takes him. Encountering the ladybug-like Mamodo along the way, the two became best buddies and traveling partners. Although Apollo hated fighting, he would still use Rops abilities and his own physical and instinctual skills when faced with another Mamodo who wanted to face them for the kingship. When their journey take them to Japan, they easily befriend Kiyo and Zatch, yet themselves learn about the continued need to fight, including Rops own dream of becoming Mamodo king. Yet the journey would come to a tragic end in Holland, where Rops is cruelly sent back by Zeno merely for encountering his twin brother. After Rops return, Apollo returned home to run his company, yet still provided the money and support to assist Kiyo and Zatch to prevent anyone evil from reaching the kingship.

Japanese Voice Actors: Ropes – Mika Kanai, Apollo – Toshihiko Seki

English Voice Actors: Rops – Michelle Ruff, Apollo – Michael Lindsay

Danny and Mr. Goldo

Danny (ダニー) and Mr. Goldo (ゴルドー) are a team who appear similar to father and son as well as business partners. As much as Danny cares about his bookkeeper, he really can't stand the fatherly way he is treated, particularly with the consistent nickname of Danny-Boy. (due to still being immature in his attitude) The duo come to Japan as the guardians of the Shemila Statue, a precious piece of artwork nearly stolen by criminals under their watch. Yet while Danny possesses the natural physical strength of a Mamodo and fighting ability, his only spell is a self-healing one that allows him to keep fighting even after getting hurt. After he and Zatch finally get the statue back, an accident forces Danny to protect the statue from getting crushed, yet at the same time forces him to make Zatch use his abilities to destroy the object at the cost of getting his book burned. This action forces Goldo to finally accept Danny's maturity as he is sent back.

Danny reappears towards the end of the Clear Note arc, offering Zatch the use of his Jioruk healing spell. He is the first mamodo to appear when Zatch's book turns gold.

Japanese Voice Actors: Danny – Kappei Yamaguchi, Mr. Goldo – Iemasa Kayumi

English Voice Actors: Danny – Yuri Lowenthal, Mr. Goldo – Jeff Nimoy

Purio and Lupa

Purio (Papipurio (パピプリオ, Papipurio)) and Lupa (ルーパー) are one of the most cowardly and lucky teams fighting in the Mamodo fight. Their ability involves saliva . An arrogant, bratty Mamodo in princely clothes, Purio gets what he wants at the cost of the motherly nature of his bookkeeper Lupa, who treats him like her own dead son yet reprimands him for being a bad boy. Realizing their own weakness and cowardice early on, Purio and Lupa are forced to team up with other, stronger Mamodo to keep them in the tournament, including an early team-up with Zoboron and Hige and later joining with Rodeaux and Chita while becoming unexpected members of the Faudo cult. After unintentionally making it to the King Festival, Lupa decided to exploit Purio into a child star to create a shelter to survive for the remainder of the Mamodo Fight. But while using Folgore and Kanchomé's assistance, they unexpectedly get involved in the plot of Mamodo willing to destroy everything, first nearly getting crushed by Goomu and ultimately leading Purio as well as Kanchomé to be sent back due to the cruel actions of Clear Note. He ranked 8th place in the fight overall.

In the Japanese version, Lupa calls Purio by the pet name "Papi", which irritates Purio.

Zoboron and Hige

Zoboron (ゾボロン) and Hige (ヒゲ) are Purio and Lupa's first allies in the battle. Their element are explosive spheres. They first met Purio and Lupa on a snowy mountain, where they began to fight. Eventually, they realized that they could team up, as their powers complemented each other; Zoboron's extremely powerful but extremely slow exploding spheres work best when his opponent is held in place (with the added affect that the spheres can break through most shield defenses), something Purio can do with his saliva. Both teams ambushed Zatch and Kiyo at an amusement park that they all happened to be attending, and would have likely defeated them if not for the arrival of Tia and Megumi, who help Zatch destroyed Zoboron's book.

Japanese Voice actors: Hige - Kōji Ishii

English voice actors: Hige – Roger Rose

Wonrei and Li-en

Wonrei (ウォンレイ) and Li-en (リィエン) are one of the main ally teams. Their abilities center around Martial Arts. Li-en, a young Chinese girl who wanted a boyfriend more than anything, and took to overeating when her father, a Mafia boss named Li-Akron, would not let her see anyone, met Wonrei in a restaurant and was immediately smitten with him. Throughout the series, they have a more romantic relationship with each other than the other Mamodo pairs. Wonrei's martial arts training allowed him to gain a large amount of spells without fighting many Mamodo. When Li-Akron found out about the relationship, he imprisoned Wonrei and the book in his hideout, believing him to be a demon. Zatch and Kiyo help reunite Wonrei and Li-en, and the two return the favor by assisting in the Millennium Arc, even disposing of Demolt and Tsao-Lon, two of the most powerful Ancient Mamodo.

During the Faudo Arc, they were forced into the Faudo cult by Riou, who placed a curse on Li-en that will kill her in four days if Wonrei does not help release Faudo. He contributed his most powerful spell, Goraiō Dibauren, to the effort to unlock the tower. After the curse was lifted, he rejoined Zatch's group, but sacrificed his book defending the comatose Kiyo and Li-en from Poosophagus. He later appears as one of the mamodo who assists Zatch when his book turns golden during the battle with Clear Note.

Anime: Wonrei's role in the anime is just about the same until he battles and gets sent back by the winged mamodo Rodeaux to protect Li-en and get Zatch and friends to the next level of Faudo, instead of being sent back by the Faudo guardian Poosophagus.

Zabas and Galliont

Zabas (ザバス) and Galliont (ガリオント) are a team met by Zatch, Kiyo, and Li-en during their raid on Li-Akron's fortress. Their spells center around Zabas's ability of flight. They tracked down Wonrei while he was imprisoned in the hideout, intending to eliminate Wonrei without a fight. Despite possessing a spell that they could manipulate freely, Wonrei beats Zabas to a pulp and Zatch eliminates him from the tournament by using his fifth spell, Zakeruga.

Japanese voice actors: Zabas – Nanaho Katsuragi, Galliont – Tokuyoshi Kawashima

English voice actors: Zabas – Julianne Buescher, Galliont – Dave Wittenberg

Baransha and Garza

Baransha (バランシャ) and Garza (ガルザ) are a Mamodo team from Kenya. Garza, a hunter, regards the Mamodo battle as a game hunt, and Baransha's abilities of stealth allow him to treat it as such. Luring Zatch and Kiyo to their "hunting ground" using an invitation to a spa, the lightning boy and his partner are ambushed in a forest. Baransha used her invisibility spell, Gu Riaruk, as cover to attack Kiyo unseen. After Kiyo traces their movements using a smell coated on them by foul smelling ginkgo nuts and Zatch's sharp smelling, the pair are blasted into a nearby river by a Bao Zakeruga. They manage to save their book, but Baransha is soon sent back during the arrival of the Ancient Mamodo. They possess two spells in the manga that are not in the anime but are in the Mamodo Fury video game.

Japanese voice actors: Baransha – Yuriko Yamaguchi, Garza – Kenta Miyake

English voice actors: Baransha - Debi Mae West , Garza – Michael Sorich

Bago and Fredo

Bago (バーゴ) and Fredo (Furito (フリト)) are an evil Mamodo duo from Spain. Their ability is Breath. Bago has an insatiable appetite, kept only in control by stealing livestock for food. When he begins to attack a flock of sheep belonging to Rushka, her new "big brother" Kanchomé (in Spain as member of a circus troupe) attempts and fails to defeat the creature on his own. Yet it isn't until Folgore arrives to help him out that Kanchomé is able to fight against it, awakening his third spell, Dika Poruk and using his giant illusion to wear him down and ultimately defeat him (albeit by throwing his book into a fire he himself started).

Bari and Gustav

Vincent Bari (ヴィンセント・バリー) and Gustav (グスタフ) are a super-strong rival team of the tournament. Their ability is vortexes. Obsessed with proving his own strength drawn from a long rivalry with Mamodo school classmate Kiees, Bari initially fights one Mamodo opponent after another to eliminate them, yet can never get over his own fighting obsession and goes on without purpose or meaning. Hearing about Zatch from another opponent, Bari heads to Japan hoping to get the battle that he needs to get over this irritation, but causes more trouble by attacking everyone in his way and forcing Zatch to both fight to save others as well as fight this Mamodo warrior. Although Zatch nearly fails against him, his own resolve and feelings to become a kind king finally forces Bari to realize his own dream, to become an undefeated "strong king", giving his bookkeeper relief that Bari may finally be finding his own way. Bari is also the first true mamodo to hand Zatch and Kiyo a complete and utter defeat.

Continuing his own journey, Bari soon faces similar odds against another extremely powerful Mamodo, the dragon Erzadoru. Using his own resolve and feelings, Bari is able to defeat the monstrous opponent but takes massive damage in the process. Soon hearing that Kiees joined the Faudo cult, Bari rushed to the massive tower and stormed inside, hoping to finish his rival once and for all. Using all he learned to become a strong king, Bari finally defeats Kiees by destroying his book. Yet as a final act, his opponent placed a trap keeping Bari locked away from the rest of the team. Believing that Bari has finally learned all he needs to in assistance and strength, Gustav lets Kafk Sunbeam burn his book.

Anime: As in the manga, Bari arrives at Faudo in search of Kiees. Both he and Kiees survive in the anime, however.

English voice actors: Bari – Wally Wingert, Gustav – Crispin Freeman

Donpoccho and Goman

Donpoccho (ドンポッチョ, Donpotcho) and Goman (ゴーマン) are a short-lived Mamodo team from Russia, easily defeated by Bari while telling him of their own desire to fight Zatch and leading him in that direction. The anime reveals their abilities to be based on spikes. Donpoccho and Goman are on top of a tall building in the manga, and their book is burned by Bari's Gigano Zonis spell. In the anime, only Donpoccho is on the building, and gets blown off the top by the spell. His book seems to automatically send him back before he hits the ground, which sparked a popular fan rumor that Mamodo cannot die in the human world, though this was proven wrong by things said during the Faudo arc. Several other ogre-like Mamodo like him are also seen as Mamodo bullies towards the orphan children Ted and Cherish were members of.

Japanese voice actors: Donpoccho - Hajime Iijima, Goman - Satoshi Tsuruoka

English voice actors: Donpoccho – Yuri Lowenthal

Kido and Dr. Riddles

Kido (Kiddo (キッド)) (Kedo in the VIZ manga) and Dr. Riddles (ナゾナゾ博士, Nazonazo Hakase) are a mamodo team that Zatch and Kiyo encounter just before the Ancient Mamodo are released by Zofis. Kido's element is oriented around machines. At first, Dr. Riddles sends his team of American superheroes called the "Majestic 12" and has Kiyo answer a riddle about them. They all leave when Kiyo answers the riddle correctly, but Kido and Dr. Riddles return to battle and reveal to Zatch and Kiyo some of the mysteries of the spellbooks. They seek powerful allies to battle Milordo-Z (whom Dr. Riddles euphemistically refers to as "the evil one" in the Japanese version), and together with those allies they travel to the Deboro Ruins, where Kido's book is burned by Belgim E.O. Dr. Riddles continues to be an ally to Kiyo and his friends, though, conveying information about future threats throughout the series.

Dr. Riddles is a former medical doctor who gave up his practice after he failed to save a child during surgery (in the Japanese version, this child is his grandson; in the English version, he is not, presumably due to the illegality of operating on relatives in the United States), and took on Kido because he reminded him of that child. He is very intelligent, and claims to know everything, although he is clearly exaggerating. He enjoys teasing Kido by telling him tall tales and then revealing later that he was "just kidding", eliciting shocked reactions from Kido. After Kido returns to the mamodo world, Dr. Riddles starts doing this with Zatch.

Kido appears as a spirit when Zatch and Kiyo's book becomes gold during the Clear Note battle and offers the team use of his spell. Dr. Riddles later adopts Vino, Clear's book keeper, as his son.

Penny and Uri

Penny (Pati (パティ)) and Uri (Ururu (ウルル)) are a major enemy team during the "Milordo-Z" arc of the manga, particularly due to Penny's own feelings towards Zatch. Their ability is water. Proclaiming herself as Zatch's girlfriend, she had been in love with him since discovering him fishing in a private beach in the Mamodo World, ultimately trying any means possible merely to interact with him. Upon arriving in the human world, she made partners with Uri, a poor man trying to get food for his family under one condition: she would help him out in any way possible as long as he helped her find Zatch. Yet when she finally tracks Zatch down to Japan, Penny discovers the hard way about Zatch's lost memories, going absolutely berserk and forcing herself to fight him either to make him remember their (one-sided) love or to eliminate him from the tournament. Zatch proved his strength against Penny, but she is ultimately saved by the actions of Byonko moments before getting blasted by Zatch's Bao Zakeruga, allowing Uri to escape with both of them.

After escaping, Penny meets with Byonko's boss, the evil "Milordo-Z" (Zofis) who offers her the chance to help him control the ancient Mamodo and win the tournament. Seeing this as means to get revenge on Zatch, Penny takes the offer and leads a squadron of Ancient Mamodo into battle. But over time, she discovers her new servants lack the free will or abilities to fight for themselves and doubts the decisions she made. When Zatch and his allies appear hopeless fighting Demolt of the Four Supreme Mamodo, she and Byonko finally turn against their master, with Penny destroying the sustaining Moon Stone assisting the enemy with her So Giaku while getting her book burned. Her final wish while being sent back is for Zatch and the others to forgive and play with them when they return to the Mamodo world.

Japanese voice actors: Patie – Naoko Matsui, Ululu – Kosuke Toriumi

English voice actors: Penny – Stephanie Sheh, Uri – Stephen Apostolina

Byonko and Alvin

Byonko (ピョンコ) and Alvin (アルヴィン) are Zofis' first assistant duo for his Ancient Mamodo alongside Penny. Their abilities are slime-based. A grumpy old man trying to live out the rest of his life in peace, Alvin is thrusted with the frog Mamodo after believing the four-leaf clover on his head was lucky. (turning it into a permanent three-leaf clover) Yet Byonko himself is obsessed with the simple matters in life, particularly finding and making new friends. Easily befriending Zofis, he assists in collecting the Ancient Mamodo (still locked away in stone) for him to revive as his servant, believing them to be new friends. However, Alvin realized the true evil intentions of the Mamodo who called himself Milordo-Z, choosing either to not help out on Byonko's missions or not wearing his dentures so all of his spells would intentionally be mumbled and not cast. By the time Byonko straightens himself out to help against Demolt, Alvin finally puts his dentures into his mouth and casts his spells to assist Penny in destroying the Moon Stone, even at the cost of his own book. While fading away, he asks Penny if, after he goes back to the Mamodo world, Zatch and his friends would play with him.

English voice actors: Byonko – Brian Beacock, Alvin - David Lodge

Koral Q and Grubb

Koral Q (コーラルＱ) and Grubb (グラブ) are the first Mamodo duo to fight against Zatch and Kiyo after the "Milordo-Z" crisis. Their abilities are robot transformations. Believing in research as just as key in defeating an opponent as spells and abilities, the duo spied on many Mamodo with the use of Koral Q's antenna, including those who fought Milordo-Z (Zofis) in the Debero Ruins. Then, when they fight against another Mamodo duo they've researched, they use their own spells and abilities to counter each and every spell thrown by their opponent. Against Zatch and Kiyo, the duo prove their abilities by defeating five of Zatch's spells in succession. However, Kiyo chooses to adapt the abilities of the two remaining spells, the power-up Zagurzem and the trump card Bao Zakeruga, to finally defeat the tricky robot and his bookkeeper. As he fades away, Koral Q gives Zatch and Kiyo their first point toward Faudo while noting that the amount of power Faudo has should be an impossibility for a mamodo, he also warns them to be careful of Faudo's tower because he has a bad feeling about it.

Anime: A few things about Koral Q change in the anime. In the anime, Koral Q has exaggerated transformation theme music reminiscent of tokusatsu series, and Grubb is a stuck-up individual who believes he is smarter than everyone. Aside from him being met after Arth rather than before, Koral Q also gives Grubb the advice to find some friends like Kiyo did before he fades away.

Japanese voice actors: Koral Q - Chie Koujiro, Grubb - Akio Suyama

Ted and Jido

Ted (テッド) and Jido (ジード) are a physical fighting duo with a unique set of spells. Their abilities is physical upgrades, however, their spells are interlinked between one another, only upgrading up one after another like the movement of gears in a car. Although taking part in the tournament, Ted's personal purpose is not just to win but to search down the female Mamodo Cherish, his former protector in the Mamodo world. Although Ted is friendly, he can be set off easily due to his competitive spirit and his desire to fight. After initially befriending Zatch, he ends up defending him from Arth, believing him as an enemy wanting to take him down. Eventually, Ted tracks Cherish down as a member of the Faudo cult, but by this point she is bound both by the penalties of current tower controller Zeno and his minion Gyaron, forcing her to fight against him against her will. After a hard fought battle where he is finally able to reignite the fire within Cherish and make her defy Zeno's will, Ted sacrifices himself and his book to eliminate Gyaron.

Anime: Although arriving at Faudo and fighting Cherish like in the manga, the duo are forced to fight against the tower's Heart Guardian, leading to Cherish being sent back and Ted ultimately surviving the Faudo assault. Also, Zatch meets Ted before Koral Q in the anime.

Japanese voice actors: Ted – Junko Takeuchi, Jido – Kouji Ishii

English voice actors: Ted – Michael Greco, Jido – Christopher Darga

Arth and Ellie

Arth (アース) and Ellie (エリー) are a crucial ally team introduced during the Faudo crisis. Their ability is swords. Arth is a Mamodo who appears like a living armor and descended from a long line of peacekeepers. He hopes that when he becomes the Mamodo King, he can write up laws that will bring about peace and stability. He initially encounters his partner living in a Finnish hospital. But because she was a small girl living with a terminal illness, Ellie initially refuses Arth's request, believing that she would die in the midst of the battle to be king making him vulnerable. However when witnessing another Mamodo attacking the defenseless Arth, Ellie finally takes up his book and sides with him in the fight. Although small and young, Ellie is wise beyond her years and is capable of great strategies while Arth knows of many of the legends of the Mamodo world. Arth and Ellie's relationship is notably similar to that between a master and servant (at Arth's request).

Initially encountering Zatch with knowledge of the threat of the awakening Faudo Tower, Arth and Ellie test them to discover the power of the legendary Baō spell, which they understood were key both to awaken and ultimately defeat the massive Mamodo. However, Riou still uses the duo to his own advantage, placing his curse on Ellie and subsequently reawakening her disease. Due to this, Arth, as well as Zatch, play along in using their spells to wake Faudo. But after lifting the seal, Arth soon helps in the effort to eliminate the tower, working with Karudeio to destroy the Heart Guardian and set the controls for return.

After Faudo's defeat, Arth and Ellie were one of the ten remaining Mamodo teams in the King Festival. Because of the strain suffered during the battle of Faudo, Ellie's illness worsened. Coupled with the discovery of a cure, Arth wishes to depart for Ellie's survival, much to her dismay. Soon after, they were the first team targeted for sendback by the beetle Mamodo Goomu. Because Ellie's illness gave them a disadvantage, they were ultimately defeated. As Arth fears for his possible death by the King's power, Ellie reassures him that Zatch and his allies are still in the competition, and that she will plead with Zatch to allow him to live and become his law advisor. After sharing one last hug, Arth returns to the Mamodo world feeling certain he will be revived. Arth ranked 10th place in the fight overall.

Arth is one of the mamodo who appears to Zatch when his book becomes gold during the fight with Clear Note.

Anime: Arth does not survive to the end of Faudo in the anime, finding himself returned from a confrontation with Riou. Also, Zatch meets Arth before Koral Q in the anime.

Karudio and Sauzaa

Karudio (カルディオ) and Sauzaa (サウザー) are one of the ally teams during the Faudo arc. Their ability is ice armor. Another horse Mamodo like Ponygon, Karudio was first introduced as a rival for the fire horse. At some point in the past, the team was ambushed by two allied Mamodo named Snail and Maraion. Although they were defeated, the battle left them with a negative prejudice regarding "teamwork".

Like Ponygon, Karudio also seems to only speak in animal sounds (Paru Paru Mon), yet Sauzaa seems to know his real name somehow. Karudio is one of the few mamodo who can understand Ponygon and knows his real name, but he can't communicate it to anyone else. During their first confrontation in Hokkaido, Sauzaa mocked Ponygon's reliance on his allies after Karudio smelled their scent on Ponygon. After Ponygon learned his third spell, and the match ended in a draw. Sauzaa and Sunbeam became friends, though Ponygon and Karudio continue to hate each other.

Karudio and Sauzaa appear again during the Faudo crisis, seemingly on the cult's side, but actually attempting to assist Arth and Ellie, who they befriended after Ellie was cursed by Riou. Calling a truce with Zatch's group, Arth and Karudio ran off to use a device in Faudo's chest to send him back to the Makai. They get into a fight with the Heart Guardian all the while defending the device. The battle proved difficult, partly due to Karudio refusal to work in synchrony with Arth. After much convincing from Ellie, the battle took a better turn until the monster organ utilises his fire abilities. In the end, Karudio launches a suicide attack on the Heart Guardian by freezing from the inside out using his strongest spell Diō Gikoru Gidoruku. Karudio survived the attack however, as Sauzaa allowed one of the Guardian's flames to strike their book prior to the attack, allowing Karudio to return to the Makai before he becomes completely frozen.

Anime: Karudio assists Ponygon in fighting off and sending back Fango and Jedun, and manages to survive and evacuate out of Faudo.

Rein and Kyle

Rein (レイン) and Kyle (カイル) are a friendly team met by Zatch in southeast Asia. Their spells revolve around brute strength. One of Zatch's friends from the Makai, Rein is a large and powerful Mamodo, who nonetheless does not want to fight in the battle, both due to his own reluctance to hurt people and his bookkeeper Kyle's timidity. Although typically seen as a massive, bear-like creature, Rein has the ability to transform into a human with light blue hair. Sending Zatch a letter to come and remove him from the tournament, Rein is soon set upon by Purio and his new partner, Faudo cultist Rodeaux. With the assistance of Zatch, Kiyo, and some newfound confidence from Kyle, Rein succeeds in driving away his assailants, at which point Zatch honors his request by burning his book.

Rein is one of the mamodo who appears to Zatch when his book becomes gold during the battle with Clear Note.

Japanese voice actors: Rein – Kenta Miyake, Kairu - Kokoro Kikuchi

Rodeaux and Chita

Rodeaux (ロデュウ) and Chita (チータ) are members of the Faudo cult and main opponents in the Faudo arc. Their abilities are based on wings. Chita is a teenage girl who lost an eye, leading to her boyfriend leaving her and she herself becoming a depressed shut-in. Ever since she met Rodeaux, he had been demanding that she get stronger. Rodeaux himself is a cruel mamodo who "loves to shoot people as they run away, abandoning their friends". They first encounter Zatch and company when they, as well as Purio and Lupa, attack Rein and Kyle. Chita has replaced her missing eye with a special eyepiece that allows her to power down an opponents book. With the release of Rein's ultimate spell, they are defeated.

They return later and capture Tia, Megumi, Kanchome, and Folgore for use as hostages to force Zatch to help break the Faudo lock. When Zeno takes over, Rodeaux gains Godufa power and is stationed in the control room itself. Rodeaux is defeated first by Momon and then by Zatch, with each defeat absorbing more Faudo liquid and coming back in a more powerful form. When Zeno finally had enough of Rodeux's failures, he manipulated the Faudo juice inside Rodeaux to make his body parts attack him. Rodeaux switched from Zeno's side to Zatch's, but after Zeno begins making Rodeaux's limbs fall off, Purio is forced to burn his friend's book to save his life. As he vanishes, Rodeaux uses his strongest spell, Dioga Ragyūru, one last time to destroy Zeno's transforming cloak.

Anime: In the anime, it is Rodeaux who sends back Wonrei. He then intrudes on Zatch and Riya's fight with Gyaron, producing a captured Li-en and reiterating a story of how Wonrei begged him for life. After Zatch intimidates him into telling the real story, the captured Li-en reveals "herself" to be Zaruchimu, who slices Rodeaux's book in half for his weakness.

Chita is later seen near the end of the series as a nurse without her metal eye-patch. Japanese voice actors: Rodeaux – Susumu Chiba, Chita – Shizuka Ito

Cherish and Nicole

Cherish (チェリッシュ) and Nicole (ニコル) are a team caught within the cult of Riou and Faudo tower. Their ability is crystals. Cherish was a brave, older Mamodo girl who lead and protected a group of orphan Mamodo children from the many dangers and bullies within the Mamodo world. One of these children, Ted, was particularly inspired by Cherish's actions and strived to be as brave as she was in the face of danger. When the duo both were sent to the human world, Ted went in search of her while Cherish partnered with female game warden Nicole, who chose to hide her appearance to look like a boy during most of the tournament.

Needing assistance to the awakening of Faudo, Riou places his curse upon Nicole, forcing Cherish to fight for him at the risk of her partner's life. After an initial fight with Tia and Ponygon, Cherish used her Dioga Kofarudon spell to assist in awakening the massive Mamodo. Yet while she thought she would be free after Riou's fall, Zeno's takeover of Faudo forced her to continue serving the enemy. As part of a team on the second floor towards Faudo's brain, Zeno indirectly controlled her through his servant Gyaron, shocking her with electricity whenever she rebelled. As Ted arrived to save her, Cherish finally stood up against Gyaron and Zeno while watching the boy Mamodo's sacrifice. Eventually, she would assist Zatch's team against Zeno, sacrificing her own book to him while using her sniping spell Gurādo Ma Kofaru to release the mamodo that Zeno had been holding captive.

Anime: Choosing to stay on Riou's side even after waking Faudo, Cherish is forced to fight Ted on her own before sacrificing herself against the Heart guardian. Considering she remained in her disguise through the end of the anime, Nicole's gender remains unknown.

Riou and Banikis Gigo

Riou (リオウ) is the main antagonist of the first part of the Faudo arc. Before he left for Earth, Riou was told by his father to use Faudo to his advantage in winning the kingship and provided with a jewel that would let him control Faudo. Assembling a cabal of like-minded Mamodo and using a death curse to bend good Mamodo to his will, Riou was provided with all the "dioga" level spells he needed to release Faudo. After a slight setback resulting from the loss of Buzarai, Riou blackmailed Zatch into replacing him in the cult. After Zatch and a large amount of Mamodo, including several former members of his cult, came after him, Riou retreated into the tower, isolating Zatch and Kiyo from the rest of the group and facing them himself.

It is then revealed that Riou's bookkeeper is Banikis Gigo (バニキス・ギーゴー), who had been hiding in the mouth on Riou's chest, and that his powers are based on beasts spells, similar to the final spells of many Mamodo but in the forms of animals like lions. Using these spells, they deal Zatch a crushing defeat, even sending Kiyo to the brink of death. However, the diabolical Mamodo is soon brought down by an even more powerful foe, Zeno, who subsequently takes the command of Faudo.

Anime: Riou's role is generally the same in the anime as in the manga, however, in the anime, he defeats Earth and outlasts all of his minions but Kiees.

Japanese voice actors: Riou – Keiko Yamamoto, Banikis Gigo - Satoshi Taki

Momon and Elle Chivas

Momon (モモン) and Elle Chivas (エル・シーバス) are a major ally team during the Faudo crisis. Elle is a young woman who wears a nun's outfit and has a habit of muttering "Oyoyoyo" during any crisis, and Momon is a perverted Mamodo first introduced as a rival for Tia (he resembles a human monkey with rabbit ears). By using his spell powers of trickery (or as Kiyo calls them Running away powers), Momon is able to easily subdue Tia in annoying ways that also allow him to look at her underwear. Momon's bothersome behavior soon infuriates Tia, and her anger unlocks her sixth spell, Chajiru Saifodon, which she uses to defeat Momon. Momon and Elle make friends with Zatch's group after this incident. Momon has the ability to sense other Mamodo and apparently how powerful they are as he is clearly terrified of Faudo's tower when he is forced to lead the protagonists to it. Another odd trait about Momon become apparent whenever he lies, verbally or otherwise; whenever Momon lies, the part of his mouth just below his nose will stretch downwards (though his nose too will stretch) and will only retract when he finally tells the truth.

Momon and Elle provide support to Zatch, Tia, Kanchome, and Ponygon during the assault on Faudo tower, although due to Momon's cowardly nature, he spends most of his time running away. He finally shows his true potential during the fight in the control room, in which he gains two spells at once, Mimiruo Mifanon and Fei Miruruku. Using these spells, Momon is able to subdue Rodeaux, but the battered winged Mamodo retaliates with an underhanded attack that destroys Momon's book. Momon stays just long enough to see his plan come to fruition; he was a distraction the entire time, intending to keep Rodeaux and Jedun busy until Kiyo awakened. In their last moments, Momon promises Elle that when he returns to the Mamodo World, he will break his perverted habits, as well as study hard to become as smart as Kiyo. Elle, on the other hand, is proud that even to the very end, Momon hasn't learned a single spell that harm others.

Elle is seen in the last chapter of the series with Kafk Sunbeam, Ponygon's former book keeper, possibly getting married.

Hougan and Million Suit

Hougan (ホウガン) and Million Suit (ミリオン・スーツ) are a minor team seen for one panel in the manga, which shows their defeat at the hands of Arth. The entire fight is seen in the anime, but the two are still beaten very easily. The anime reveals their abilities to be based around flaming axes.

Japanese voice actors: Uncredited

English voice actors: ?

Zaruchim and Raushin Mo

Zaruchimu (ザルチム) and Raushin Mo (ラウシン・モー) are Riou and Banikis's right-hand men. Their element is shadow. Zaruchimu was apparently in charge of recruiting for the Faudo cult, and appears to be psychic. Riya and Aleshie bear a personal grudge against Zaruchimu and Raushin, as the evil pair threatened to kill a little boy if Riya did not join the cult.

Zaruchimu rarely fights, but when he does, he outfits himself with special gauntlets that allow him to project shadows into physical forms. His first battle seen is against Riya, who manages to distract him long enough for Zatch's group to escape him. He is one of only two Mamodo who does not swear unquestioned loyalty to Zeno by accepting the Godufa powerup, the other being Cherish. Even after Riou is sent back, Zaruchimu remains on the side of the cult, engaging Riya and Ponygon in battle on the first level of Faudo's neck. Zaruchimu burns Riya's book, but in turn gets his own book destroyed by Sunbeam. As both rivals fade, Riya and Zaruchimu agree to forgive each other.

Anime: Zaruchimu is defeated by Zeno for obstructing the latter's path to Riou.

Buzarai and Kars

Buzarai (ブザライ) and Kazu (カーズ) are members of the Faudo cult. Generally acting as the brawn to Kiees's brains, Buzarai is a silent, armor-like Mamodo whose powers center on the axe he wears on his back. He first makes his presence known to the good Mamodo by shooting down Apollo's plane as it approaches Faudo Tower. Along with Kiees, he engages Zatch and Kanchomé in battle after the group is separated. After the release of Kanchomé's fourth spell stops his own strongest attack, Buzarai's book is destroyed by Zatch, making him the first of the Faudo cult to be defeated. Kazu is a woman with short blond hair and is later revealed to be skilled in Tae Kwon Do when she easily subdues Zatch and knocks him away, another trait about her is the enormous amount of heart energy she has as she is shown capable of casting every one of her spells, casting some of them being casted twice or thrice, and still having enough heart energy left to cast a "Dioga" class spell.

Japanese voice actors: Kazu - Haruhi Terada

Keith and Berun

Kiees (キース) and Berun (ベルン) are a bizarre but dangerous duo working for the Faudo cult. Their abilities are light. Kiees most notably identifies himself as the rival of the Mamodo Bari, fighting with him constantly prior to both being sent to the human world. Siding with a red-nosed director, he taunts all who fight him by annoyingly conducting his own version of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". Initially encountered fighting in Faudo's exterior, his battle with Zatch and Kanchome force the duck-billed Mamodo to awaken his fourth spell in order to fend him off prior to retreating. After waking Faudo, he chooses to pledge loyalty to Zeno through the Godufa spell and becomes the third-floor neck guardian. But Bari's arrival in the tower forced the two rivals to face each other one last time, leading both to his own defeat and Bari's subsequent sacrifice due to activating a trap while being sent back.

Anime: Initially fighting Kanchome and Zatch instead of the whole ally team, Kiees still fights against Bari in the tower. However, he is one of two Faudo cultists to survive to the end of the tower with the other being Purio.

Japanese voice actors: Kiees – Kenyu Horiuchi, Berun - Satoshi Taki

Riya and Aleshie

Riya (リーヤ) and Aleshie (アリシエ) are a pair first seen as enemies in the Faudo cult. Riya's powers involve his own body which he uses to stretch his horn and arms, to give him various physical upgrades, to enlarge himself to protect others even fire lasers from his chest. Aleshie came from an African village, where his constant duties of delivering water back to the village toughened up his physical and mental abilities. They are, however, very reluctant to be there; they were shoehorned in by a threat to kill a child by Raushin Mo and kept in line by Riou's curse. They are the first of the cultists to turn to Zatch's side, upon the arrival of Zatch and his allies, whereafter they suggested an exploration inside Faudo for a device that can possibly send the giant Mamodo back. As they are beset by Zaruchimu and Wonrei at Faudo's liver, Riya and Aleshie held them off so Zatch and the others can continue the exploration. They are then recaptured and forced to help unlock the tower.

When the curse is broken, they join the fight against Riou, Zeon and their followers, attempting to get their revenge on Zaruchimu and Raushin on the first floor of Faudo's neck. Riya sends back Fango, but is in turn sent back by Zaruchimu, although he stays long enough to see Zaruchimu himself get sent back by Ponygon and Sunbeam. The rivals agree to forgive each other.

Anime: Riya and Aleshie's story is the same in the anime except they burn the book of Gyaron but not Fango and Riya gets sent back by Zeno to protect Zatch.

Japanese voice actors: Riya – Kotono Mitsuishi, Aleshie – Tomokazu Seki

Fango and Adora

Fango (ファンゴ) and Adora (アドラー) are Faudo cultists, with the power of fire. The pair appear first as a team petitioned by Dr. Riddles to join in the fight against Zofis, but they refused. They appear again at the release of Faudo, in which they use their fire, focused through strange floating discs called "satellites", to attempt to pick the lock. Fango was quick to switch his allegiance to Zeno once control of the tower was usurped, earning him a Godufa transformation and a station on the first neck level of Faudo.

Fango and Adora appear, along with Zaruchimu and Raushin, to fight Riya and Ponygon. By pretending to quarrel with Zaruchimu during the fight, Fango attempted to catch his opponents off guard, but his book is torn to shreds by Riya's spell. Fango endures a final humiliation at the hands of Zaruchimu, who seizes his disappearing body and uses it to stop the giant spell.

Anime: Fango's story is very different in the anime. He doesn't get the Godufa upgrade, he doesn't team up with Zaruchimu and Raushin and his book is not destroyed by Riya. Instead Fango teams up with the snake mamodo Jedun and his partner Eskaruro Run and they fight Ponygon and Karudio and lose their books in the battle.

Gyaron and Harry Jet

Gyaron (ギャロン) and Harry Jet (ハリー・ジェット) are a cocky pair and members of the Faudo cult. Gyaron is a mamodo resembling a knight and has the power of physical metal. He is first seen in the lock-opening scene. He is shown to be terrified of Faudo. He later encounters Zatch's group on the second level of Faudo's neck, in which he has been installed with an electrical device to keep the rebellious Cherish in line. He received a transformation based on the Godufa spell and additionally has a second one gained from his second-strongest spell, Dio Ma Basukārugu. He is sent back by an enraged Ted, who gained his strongest spell due to his desire to save Cherish.

Anime: As the anime diverged from the manga just as Gyaron's character was outlined, he is very different in the anime. He is teamed up with Rodeaux on the second level of Faudo's neck and faces off with Zatch and Riya, the latter of whom defeats him in the same manner as Fango in the manga. Gyaron has a different fighting style in the anime, with his spells being based on lasers rather than physical upgrades as in the manga. The only spell he retains in both versions is his strongest, Emarion Basukādo. Additionally, Gyaron addresses Harry by his first name in the anime and his surname in the manga.

Jedun and Eskaruro Run

Jedun (ジェデュン) is large, reptilian mamodo who is part of the Faudo cult. His power involves snakes and his most distinguishing feature is the protected pocket on his stomach, in which is housed his bookkeeper, a tiny girl named Eskaruro Run (エスカルロ・ルン), shielding her from harm. The two are both rather shy and naive, Run never telling Jedun her name and Jedun too afraid to say anything but "Yanko" in Run's presence. Jedun is paired with Rodeaux to guard the control room, and is defeated when Zatch shatters his barrier with Baō Kurō Disugurugu. Jedun apologises to Run for being so shy and never really knowing her, and the two connect for the first time before Jedun vanishes.

Anime: Jedun is considerably more malicious in the anime. He shows no signs of being shy and indeed cackles gleefully at the prospect of Faudo obliterating the entire country of China. He is defeated when Ponygon overheats his barrier, followed by Karudio freezing it and shattering in, then burning his book. He is also shown to have three spells, while in the manga he has eight spells.

Eruzadoru and Abiira Sabiira

Eruzadoru (エルザドル) and Abīra Sabīra (アビーラ・サビーラ) first appear in silhouette with slashing abilities, as one of the many teams who refused to take part in the battle against Zofis. During the Faudo arc in the manga, Eruzadoru is revealed to be a part of a bourgoisie family of dragon-like mamodo whose strength rivals that of the royal family and those who underwent the secret Elite Training. Bari defeats him prior to the siege on Faudo.

Ashuron and Riin Vise

Ashuron (アシュロン) and Riin Vise (リイン・ヴィズ) are the main ally team during the King Festival arc with dragon powers. Ashuron is Eruzadoru's brother, but he is far stronger due to his mystical red scales, which are called hihiro. These scales also make him invulnerable to nullification-type spells such as those of Clear Note, his eternal rival. Ashuron's basic form resembles a tall human with horns, but he is capable of transforming into his true form, a massive, winged dragon. He enjoys sake, and his dream is to end discrimination in the Makai. Riin is largely silent, and little is known about him, though he is known for his very distinctive hairdo, and enjoys the excitement that his adventures with Ashuron provides. They are defeated in a self-sacrifice when Ashuron blocks one of Clear's spells with his own body, but at the same time score a major victory against Clear by skewering him on the end of his horn, incapacitating Clear for ten months. Before his return, Ashuron bades Zatch to fulfill his dream when he becomes King. He ranked 9th place in the fight overall.

Snail and Unknown

Snail and Unknown are a minor mamodo team defeated by Karudio and Sauza prior to chapter 243 along with Maraion and his bookkepper.

Maraion and Unknown

Maraion (マーライオン, Maraion) and Unknown are a minor mamodo team defeated by Karudio and Sauza prior to chapter 243 along with Snail and his Human Partner.

Rouge Biper and nameless Partner

Rouge Biper is the eleventh-place mamodo in the fight. Little is known about him, though he greatly resembles the Ancient Mamodo Alm. Though implied to be fairly strong, he is defeated in a single panel by Brago, triggering the start of the King Festival.

Goomu and Mir

Goomu (ゴーム, Gōmu) has spells that are based on dimensional manipulation, he seems to be like a beetle and even has wings that can fly. His bookkeeper is a Russian lady named Mir (ミール, Mīru) He is first seen fighting Earth, who he easily defeats. Goomu uses his dimension attacks to transport himself, Mir, and Clear Note to anywhere in the world, though why he is helping Clear Note is a mystery. Goomu uses his dimension ability to keep Clear Note safe while Clear was resting in his cocoon state. Goomu confronts Purio and Lupa during Clear's 10 month resting period, he easily defeats the two and attempts to finish them off until Kanchomé and Falgore attacks him and Mir. Folgore and Kanchomé surprise Goomu and Mir with their illusionary abilities, but Kanchomé goes berserk and almost destroys the pair until Folgore calms him down. However, Clear Note appears and destroys half of Goomu's body, and burns the books of Purio and Kanchomé. Goomu appears in front of Gash and asks him to burn his book, which he does, and Mir walks off never to be seen again. He ranked 6th place in the fight overall.

Gani Fest and nameless Partner

Gani Fest was Arth's first opponent in the fight. He attacked at a convenient time, when Ellie was in the hospital and refusing to help Arth. Gani possesses an extremely odd head, the top and bottom parts of which contain two extra mouths. He also seems to lengthen several feet when using his first spell. When Ellie comes to protect Arth, Gani is soundly defeated.

Clear Note and Vino

Clear Note (クリア・ノート) and Vino (ヴィノー) are the main antagonists of the King Festival Arc. A demented and powerful Mamodo who embraces a philosophy similar to eugenics, Clear wishes to take advantage of the Mamodo King's ability to reshape the world to his own will to wipe out everyone he deems inferior to himself. His powers are based on nullification. He is the first Mamodo seen who uses his spells in an attempt to kill rather than simply to burn books. Little is known about Vino, however, he seems to be very young, and is kept in a protective bubble made of Clear's power.

Clear is assisted by Goomu, and makes his entrance into the fight by easily dominating Brago. However, he is defeated by Ashuron, and places himself in a protective cocoon for ten months to recuperate. Even in this state he is powerful, managing to eliminate Kanchome, Purio, and a redeemed Goomu without leaving the cocoon. He returns in a more powerful, cloaked form, which is engaged by Zatch, Tia, Ponygon, and Brago. After a crushing defeat to a stronger Brago, Clear reforms in an armored body, which is defeated by a combination of Brago and Zatch. After this, he reveals his ability to combine with his strongest spell, Shin Kuria Seunousu, transforming into a large, demonic form. This form is mostly destroyed by the powers of the revived mamodo, but what remains of it rockets into space and attempts to destroy the earth. Zatch and Kiyo follow Clear into space, and with the assistance of Brago and all the mamodo who have been sent back, manage to conjure one final spell, Shin Beruwan Baō Zakeruga, that succeeds in burning Clear's book. After the battle, Vino was adopted by Dr. Riddles as his son. After Zatch became king, Clear was resurrected in a small and weak body, without any memories of his time in the Mamodo fight or his life before it. He ranked 3rd place in the fight overall.

Major Ancient Mamodo and their Bookkeepers

In the Mamodo fight that took place 1000 years before the current one, one competitor, Goren of the Stone, possessed the ability to transform Mamodo into small tablets eliminating them from the fight without sending them back to the Mamodo world. In the current battle, Zofis discovered a way to revive these imprisoned Mamodo, and also discovered that the descendants of their original bookkeepers could use their spellbooks. Zofis brainwashed most of the bookkeepers, and convinced the Ancient Mamodo to do his bidding by threatening to turn them back to stone if they didn't comply with his orders. They were all eliminated by a group organized by Kido and Dr. Riddles.

Goren of the Stone and Maurice

Goren of the Stone (石のゴーレン, Ishi no Goren) and Maurice (モーリス) were the team who defeated the most opponents in the battle 1000 years ago. Using their petrification spell Dioga Gorgogeo, they could entomb their enemies and their books in stone tablets. Goren did this all over the world, and although his rampage was eventually halted, it is unknown who defeated him.

Badios and Charmy

Badios (バディオス, Badiosu) and Charmy (チャーミー, Chāmī) are one of two Mamodo teams that provided aerial transportation to the Ancient Mamodo. Badios was violently brought to the ground and then eliminated by Brago.

Ferius and Sebastian

'Ferius (フェリウス, Feriusu) and Sebastian (セバスチャン, Sebasuchan) comprises the other team that provided aerial transportation to the Ancient Mamodo. Like Badios, he was violently brought to the ground and then eliminated by Brago.

Victoream and Mohawk Ace

Victoream (ビクトリーム, Vikutorīmu) and Mohawk Ace (モヒカン・エース, Mohikan Ēsu) are the first team encountered by the group after they successfully penetrate the Devolo Ruins. Their power is V-shaped lasers. Victoream has a zany attitude and a taste for melons which come to a head in his "Very Melon" song and dance, which he is very proud of, and he becomes angry if anyone interrupts it. In spite of his odd behavior, he is extremely strong and because of his detachable head, from which he can spin while shooting lasers, can cover a lot of ground in combat. His partner, while still silent like most of the other Ancient Mamodo bookkeepers, exhibits a little bit of personality and Victoream is somewhat attached to him. After their book is burned, Victoream and Mohikan Ace re-appear in the anime as Folgore wished to make a movie about him. In the anime and bonus materials, it is revealed that Victoream and Belgim E.O. have a rivalry.

Victoream is one of the mamodo who appears to Zatch when his book glows golden during the fight with Clear Note. He explains that he is helping because he was able to bring a melon seed back to the mamodo world, which "gave birth to a million melons".

Japanese Voice Actors: Victoream – Norio Wakamoto, Mohican Ace - Yoshikazu Nagano
English Voice Actors: Victoream – Quinton Flynn, Mohawk Ace – Jason Spisak

Laila and Albert

Laila (レイラ, Reira) and Albert (アルベール) (pronounced "Al-bair") are the second team that the group encounters after penetrating the Deboro Ruins. Laila's powers are moon-based and revolve around the moon-tipped staff that is her primary weapon. They are accompanied by Dalmos and Elizabeth, who attack the group; but Laila does not fight, instead helping Tia, Megumi and Ponygon to escape. Zofis learns of this and orders Laila to stay under the Stone of Moonlight and keep the invaders from destroying it, or else she will be turned to stone. She at first obeys out of fear, but Kiyo's encouragement and the partial awakening of Albert helps her overcome it.

Laila and Albert help the group fight the terrifying Demolt, and although Laila does well against the monster, his bookkeeper gives him more intelligence than he had in the past. When Penny and Uri shatter the Stone of Moonlight, though, Albert fully awakens and is able to use Laila's spellbook to its full ability, creating moonbeams that restrict movement and assisting greatly in the fight against Demolt. After Demolt and subsequently Zofis are defeated, Laila asks Zatch to burn her book, as she has no place in the current battle for the Mamodo Kingship. She kisses Albert on the cheek for being a good partner before she goes.

Laila later reappears as one of the mamodo spirits who help Zatch when his book becomes gold during the fight with Clear Note. She and Pamoon surround Clear Note with moons and stars, and Victoream causes them to fire V-shaped lasers.

English Voice Actors: Laila - Kate Higgins, Albert - Crispin Freeman

Pamoon and Lance

Pamoon (パムーン, Pamūn) and his modern-day bookkeeper Lance (ランス, Ransu) are the Supreme Mamodo team that Zatch, Kiyo, Ponygon and Kafk face. Pamoon is also the only Ancient Mamodo whose first bookkeeper from 1000 years ago, Shelby, is seen, in flashbacks fighting Goren in which he almost won but lost in the end. His power revolves around the stars around him that he can move at will and cause to fire powerful lasers. He can also attach them to his own body to gain even more power. At first, Pamoon fights fiercely against Zatch and Ponygon, but he eventually reveals that he fights merely out of a fear of being turned back into stone. When Zatch promises to be Pamoon's friend in the Mamodo world, Pamoon eventually gets over his fear and sides with Zatch and the rest, but is discovered by Zofis, who burns his book. Because of this, Pamoon realizes that Zofis is unable to turn the ancient mamodo back into stone, and remains allies with Zatch to the end.

In the manga, he has reappeared along with Victoream, Laila and other present-day mamodo to help Zatch fight Clear Note. He uses his stars along with Laila's moons to surround Clear.

Belgim E.O. and Dalia Anjé

Belgim E.O. (ベルギム・Ｅ・Ｏ, Berugimu E.O.), one of the Four Supreme Mamodo, and his present-day bookkeeper Dalia Anjé (ダリア・アンジェ, Daria Anje) are confronted by Kanchomé and Parco Folgore and Kido and Dr. Riddles in the ruins. Belgim E.O. sits on an oversized throne and rarely moves from it, although he is capable of standing on his own. His spells revolve around ghosts. Dalia Anjé is not controlled by Zofis, but seems genuinely insane, as her only dialog outside of reading spells is mad laughter. Belgim E.O. is very powerful, but easily appeased if he is entertained, although if he becomes bored, he gets angry and attacks. The "E.O." stands for Intolerant Overlord [sic] (in the Japanese version, it stands for 椅子 isu, meaning chair, which starts with the hard E sound, and お仕置き oshioki, meaning punishment, which starts with the hard O sound). Belgim is eventually defeated by Kido's most powerful spell, Mikor Ma Zegaruga, although Kido's own book is burned in the process.

Japanese Voice Actors: Belgim E.O. – Shigeru Chiba, Dalia Anjé - Ai Nagano
English Voice Actors: Belgim E.O. - Neil Kaplan, Dalia Anjé - Michelle Ruff

Tsao-Lon and Genso

Tsao-Lon (ツァオロン, Tsaoron) and his modern-day bookkeeper Gensou (玄宗, Gensō) are one of the Ancient Mamodo teams in the ruins. Wonrei and Li-en and Tia and Megumi Oumi fight them. Gensou, unlike most of the modern bookkeepers recruited by Zofis, is not controlled. He agreed to help Zofis merely because he and Tsao-Lon shared a desire to battle strong opponents. Tsao-Lon's powers revolve around his staff, with his strongest spell summoning a shark spirit from it. Because of Gensou's skill as a fighter, they prove to be a very difficult match for the mamodo teams, but are eventually defeated by a powered-up Rao Diboren from Wonrei.

Japanese Voice Actors: Tsao-Lon - Yuichi Nakamura, Gensou – Nobutoshi Canna
English Voice Actors: Tsao-Lon - Steve Staley, Genso - Liam O'Brien

Demolt and Roberto Vile

Demolt (デモルト, Demoruto) and Roberto Vile (ローベルト･ヴァイル, Rōberuto Vairu) are the final Ancient mamodo/human team that Zatch, Kiyo and their friends face. Demolt is the last and most powerful of the Four Supreme Mamodo from a thousand years ago, and was nicknamed the "Crazed Warrior Berserker" because of his massive size and power. His spell powers revolve around the claws on his hands, one of the spells allowing him to use them as a handheld weapon. However, Demolt is not very intelligent; his power as a servant of Zofis comes from his bookkeeper, Roberto Vile, whose mind is not controlled and plans to use the Stone of Moonlight to control the minds of humans after Zofis becomes king. Demolt becomes annoyed with his bookkeeper, though, and swallows him, gaining his intelligence and becoming more powerful. Zatch, Kiyo and his friends eventually use teamwork and Zatch's new spell to defeat him, and Wonrei makes the final attack that burns Demolt's book. Fearful for his life, the agitated Vile runs away shortly afterward.

King Bell

The winner of the last mamodo battle is an immense thunder elementalist with two children, Zatch and Zeno. He was the instigator of the present mamodo battle to determine his heir. Although he originally appeared cruel, he actually chose to separate his two sons due to Zatch inheriting his Baou power, which turned out for the better due to his knowledge of Zeno's ease of gaining a corruptible, detestable heart that would end up using Baou out of his own anger. Since Zatch was seen as a kinder child, he separated the two, hoping to protect him from becoming corrupted from the knowledge of his ultimate power and what he can do with it, even if this separation lead to the miserable upbringing for both twins, Zatch for the horrible treatment of his foster parents, and Zeno's resentment and training due to not having the Baou power. He may be a peaceful king, as the mamodo world was shown in several flashbacks as a peaceful looking place. He was not turned to stone by Goren of the Stone, as he outlasted him and became king.

Faudo

Japanese name: Faudo (ファウード, Faūdo)

Faudo makes his first appearance as a massive tower that appears in the human world near the coast of New Zealand. This gigantic mamodo is actually sealed away inside the structure. A tremendous amount of power is needed to break the lock and set him free. Faudo is controlled by the one who possesses his jewel. Faudo's size is so great that the surrounding mountains wouldn't even come up to his knees. He is also said to be larger than Mt. Fuji.

Note: Although it is a Mamodo weapon, it can not fight independently in the Mamodo fight. It can be manipulated by those who control the jewel, such as used by both Riou and Zeno. Without the influence of another mind, it will attack and destroy everything in its path.

Spellbook color: None (no book)

Spell power: Artillery

First appearance in anime: 137

Episode appearances: 137-150

Note: Faudo was destroyed in the anime, and merely sent back in the manga.

Though not truly Mamodo, several of Faudo's body parts have developed a life of their own:

Poosophagus

Poosophagus is the guardian of Faudo's esophagus. It makes any passerby answer its riddles. Giving the wrong answer will result in bein dropped into Faudo's stomach acid. When Faudo is revived, Poosophagus transforms and gains the ability to use several attacks. It burns Wonrei's book in this form. In the manga, he has a crush on Megumi.

Poosophagus is destroyed by Wonrei in the manga, yet remains in the anime.

Japanese voice actor: Wataru Takagi

Small Intestine Drill

This is the drill that cleans things out of Faudo's intestines. It is accompanied by a group of pressure sensitive spots in the floor. When these spots are touched, whiplike tentacles that secrete acid attack the intruder.

Neither the drill nor the tentacles have been destroyed.

Heart Warrior

This strange individual seems to control Faudo's heart by beating it with his clubs. Like Poosophagus, he transforms after Faudo is revived. He has burned Karudio's book in the manga and Cherish's book in the anime.

He is destroyed by Arth in the manga, and by Ted in the anime.

Internal Creatures

A group of creatures created from Faudo's insides to destroy intruders. They can spit a potent acid-like substance at their enemies. There seems to be an infinite number of them.

Degosumia

Degosumia is a cerberus-like mamodo sent to dispose of Zatch by Kieth. He is destroyed by Bari in one hit. It is not clear what body part he is meant to represent.

Poosophagus Series II

Another version of Poosophagus that appears to control Faudo's brain.

She wants to remain with Nya forever, and has teamed up with a mamodo named Grisor who seeks the Mamodo Mirror that was shattered to power up his own weak abilities.

Wiseman and Kotoha

Wiseman Wiseman (ワイズマン, Waizuman) and Kotah Kotoha (コトハ, Kotoha) are anime only characters that appear solely in the first Zatch Bell movie. Wiseman was a powerful demon in the demon world, gifted with great powers at birth and did well at the Mamodo academy; however, he was overturned for the chance to become king in favor of Zatch when the demons who would leave for the human world were chosen. This caused him to deeply resent the younger, then weaker Mamodo and brought him to set forward a series of events to exact his revenge. As he didn't have a book to access his inner power/spells and allow him to participate in the tournament, he stole a special book; the white, one-hundred and first book, used only if the winner of the tournament decided to stay in the human world and cause trouble. The book had the power to absorb other Mamodo's spells upon their use, in addition to allowing use of the user's own, taking them out of the opposing Mamodo's book and writing it in the white book. When all the known spells of the opposing Mamodo were abosorbed, the apposing book would turn white as well.

Kotoha was a tomboy of a girl, disliking to do most things feminen and enjoying to do reckless things. When she first found the white book, sent to the human world by Wiseman, it was blank, except for a mysterious writing telling of events that were both predicted and caused by Wiseman from the Mamodo world, the most serious being that Kotoha's mother would fall ill. When Kiyo and Zatch unwittingly allow Wiseman to come to the human world, and simuntaniously trap themselves in the mamodo world, he manages to get Kotoha to be his human partner under the guise that he was too a kind Mamodo. However, once he met with the Mamodo in the torunament, it became apparent to both that Wiseman wasn't what he appeared to be and that Kotoha wouldn't willingly fight with him. Wiseman continued to tamper with Kotoha's mind during the battle against Zatch's friends, and eventually Zatch himself, to the point that Kotoha was practically a living puppet.

Japanese voice actors: Wiseman – Toshiyuki Morikawa, Kotoha – Akiko Yajima

English voice actors: ?

Note: Wiseman's spell book is a stolen, forbidden book intended to overtake any rogue participant in the Mamodo battles. This book absorbs the energy of other Mamodos' spells - such as Tia's Giga La Seoshi and Zatch's Zakeruga - when the book comes in contact with an opposing spell. That spell is removed from the spell caster's book, and written into Wiseman's book.
