<P> The story follows Kiyo Takamine, a 14 - year - old boy in junior high school . His father, Seitaro Takamine, discovers an unconscious child named Zatch Bell while in a forest in England, and sends Zatch to live with Kiyo . Unlike the other Mamodo, Zatch lost his memory of the Mamodo world . Kiyo learns about the spell book when he reads a spell causing Zatch to fire lightning from his mouth (the spell is mentioned in the first episode). As Kiyo and Zatch begin to encounter different Mamodos and learn more about the Mamodo battles, they discover that there are those who do not wish to fight and there are those who fight for the wrong reasons . After meeting a Mamodo named Kolulu and seeing how this kind Mamodo was forced to fight due to the power of her spells, Zatch decides to become a kind king in order to stop the battle from ever happening again . As the story progresses, Zatch and Kiyo meet other Mamodos that share similar views to them and become allies . They meet allies such as Megumi Oumi and Tia in which they specialize in defensive spells such as different types of shields . Kiyo and Zatch meet Folgore and Kanchomé (Canchome) who are both comic relief characters and they only have transformation spells such as Kanchomé being able to turn himself really big . Zatch met Kafk Sunbeam and Umagon earlier in England . Umagon is a Mamodo who specializes in transformation spells that can put armor around his body . Shery (Sherie) Belmont and Brago who was originally Zatch and Kiyo's rival in the series later becomes their allies and he has gravity type spells . </P> <P> As the number of Mamodos decreases, Zatch and his allies encounter a Mamodo called Zofis who takes control of several Mamodos who were sealed in stone from the previous battle to decide the king . With Kiyo and Zatch needing more allies, they meet Dr. Riddles and Kido . They helped teach the main allies how to unlock new spells such as Zatch unlocking the sixth spell . Kiyo and Zatch with friends make their way to South America to fight off Zofis and the thousand year Mamodos . Many characters fell and got their book burned . The most notable one was Kido who was sent back to the Mamodo world after fighting Belgium E.O. Ultimately, Sherry and Brago came to help to fight Zofis . Zofis took control of Sherry's friend Koko who Zofis makes her do evil things such as burning a whole town . Sherry and Brago beat Zofis but not without the help of Kiyo and friends . Sherry gets Koko back to normal and the battle in South America is over . After the battle against Zofis, the whole world is put in danger after a giant Mamodo named Faudo is brought to life by a Mamodo named Riou . Riou was looking for Mamodos that have enough strength to help activate Faudo . So he puts a curse on Li - en and Wonrei who Kiyo and Zatch befriend in the middle of the series . The protagonists make their way to Faudo to try to destroy it and to save their friends . The battle in Faudo was the toughest battle for the characters up to that point in the story . Kiyo almost died against Riou, and many of Zatch's friends got sent back to the Mamodo world such as Wonrei . Faudo is then taken over by a Mamodo that looks like Zatch, who turns out to be Zatch's twin brother Zeno Bell . Zatch and Zeno have a big fight inside of Faudo . Through Zeno's flashback, he resented Zatch because their Father King Bell bestowed Zatch the power of Bao, which is Zatch's strongest spell . Zeno at a young age had to train everyday and always got punished while Zatch lived with another family peacefully . Ultimately, Zeno understands Zatch also suffered too and apologizes to what he has done to Zatch . Zeno gets his book burned and is sent back to the Mamodo world . </P> <P> Finally, when the number of Mamodos have decreased to ten, an evil and powerful Mamodo named Clear Note appears . With Clear Note's immense strength the protagonists have to train to fight against Clear Note in the King's Festival . The King's Festival is where the final ten Mamodo have to fight to be king . Most notably before the Zatch and Kiyo fought Clear Note, Kanchome got sent back to the Mamodo world when he was ambushed by Clear Note . With Kancome gone before the big fight it Kiyo, Megumi, and Sunbeam vowed to win against Clear Note for Kanchome and Folgore's sake . Past Mamodos who Kiyo and Zatch have encountered in the past came to help out . They helped out in a form of spells because Kiyo's spell book unlocked all of the Mamodo's spells . Kiyo used Kido's strongest spell, Wonrei's strongest spell, and many more spells from their past allies After many sacrifices, Clear Note is defeated leaving Zatch and his ally Brago as the remaining Mamodos . After Kiyo's graduation ceremony, Zatch and Brago battle and Zatch is crowned the Mamodo King . For the prize for helping Zatch become king . Kiyo had an option of two prizes: either getting a wish and forgetting about Zatch, or get nothing but keep his memories of Zatch . He chooses the latter option . Three weeks later, a letter is sent from the Mamodos to their human partners . Zatch's letter reveals that all is well in the Mamodo world . </P> <P> After Raiku's series in the Shōnen Sunday Super ended, Raiku looked at his old drafts he created in the past for an idea for his next series . One of his ideas was a mercenary who uses a giant sword to defeat enemies . After playing with that idea for three months, Raiku decided to abandon it and go with another idea . His next idea was a story where a middle school student finds an old toy and with the help of a noble knight, combats evil and after taking this up with his agent, he was advised to use a cuter character to fight and thus, Zatch was created . After Raiku worked on the idea for a few months, it was published . Raiku said that he intended to create a "passionate story about a heartwarming friendship" and that he used the concept as a "base" while adding the mamodo, book, and spell concepts . He was inspired by a western magic story that he read to create Zatch's red spell book . The reason Zatch uses lightning spells because his name had the word "Raiku" means "lightning" in Japanese . He mentions he created Folgore with the words "Invincible Italian Man" as a base . </P>
