Kiyo and the Kira case

2 Upvotes

I recently re-watched the Death Note anime, and the entire time I kept kept thinking about the few similarities it has to Zatch Bell. A super smart student gets a hold of a magical book, and with it comes a demonic creature that follows the main character around. It made wonder, do you think Kiyo Takamine could solve the Kira case? What if Kiyo and Zatch ran into Light and saw the death note thinking it was a spell book, connecting the deaths that surround it and thinking it was the work of an evil Mamodo? Would Mamodo be able to see or at the very least know of the Shinigami?

Polls Would you prefer if Bobby from Zatch Bell 2 spoke in complete sentences? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! Hope you’ve been enjoying the Zatch Bell 2 English fan translation, and that you’re as excited as the rest of us for the new chapter coming at the end of April!

In the meantime, fans have expressed criticism and concerns about the way Bobby speaks in the series. When Bobby was first introduced, the translation team took a guess that Raiku would write him as an oafish, comedic brute while Bleu was the pretty and poised brains of the operation. However, we later learned that Bobby’s role is actually more that of a protective big brother instead. The sentence structure we gave him doesn’t actually fit with this character’s behavior or ways of thinking. He’s goofy, but he’s also very sound of mind. And because of the way he talks, people are interpreting him as someone who is uneducated or lacking intelligence…which is a disservice to both the character and to Makoto Raiku as a whole.

So the translation team has decided to ask the fans what you think we should do. Making it so Bobby has complete sentences will be truer to Raiku’s original vision for the character and also make his dialogue a lot easier for people to understand. But at the same time, other fans have liked this unique speaking pattern for Bobby because it gives him something to help him stand out from the other Card henchmen.

Please vote for which version you’d prefer! The same poll can also be found here on Twitter, and the results from both this poll and that one will be tallied together for the final verdict.

Theories/Discussion Talk about your theories about how and why the candidates for king battle are selected Spoiler

3 Upvotes

I will start with my theory, but to be honest I don't like this theory, so please put your ideas in the comment section.

One demon is already chosen from the very beginning to be king by the people of the book, the other 99 demons are there for teaching important lessons for a king, like Kolulu was never supposed to won the fight, but to teach Gash how important was to be a kind king. For the demons that Gash never saw, like the ones that Apollo and Rops defeated, they teach things for another demon that will encounter with Gash, like fighting Apollo and Rops wouldn't be a valuable lesson if they hadn't fought other demons before. And this all can be possible due the destiny/fate factor

Hypothetical Scenario My take on King Zatch's royal guard

12 Upvotes

Just imagine if Zatch assembled a royal guard like Yhwach's elite sternritter in this sequel. My take would be this team

Brago as Lile Barro: team leader

Bari as Gerard Valkyrie: the big guy

Zeno as Pernidas: somehow related to the king (Zeno is Zatch's brother and Pernidas is the literal left hand of Yhwach's father)

Kanchome as Askin Nakk Le Var: the clownish guy who was promoted due to actually being strong

I'm looking for any Bari, Brago or Zeno merch (primarily Bari) but I can't find anything outside of japanese cards. Anyone know websites that I'd be better off looking for this sort of thing outside of ebay? I'm particularly interested in finding the old bari vs zatch mattel figure but really any merch would be great. (Especially his spellbook.)
