Zatch Bell!/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Hair of Gold]]

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: American voice actress is Debi Derryberry, also known as the voice of Jimmy Neutron.

* [[Keet]]

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Yellowtail tuna

* [[Verbal Tic]]: 'Unu!'

 

== Kiyomaro Takamine ==

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Performed in the battle against Riou/Leo.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Unexplained Recovery]]}}, along with a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|very memorable]] {{spoiler|[[He's Back]]}}

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Both Suzume and Megumi have feelings for him. Kiyo has no clue, one of the only areas where his intelligence fails him.

* [[Only Sane Man]], often when faced with the antics of the rest of the group.

* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Veronica to Suzy's Betty.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Especially to Tia.

* [[Idol Singer]]

* [[Rescue Romance]]: It's pretty clear she fell for Kiyo the second he showed up to save her and Tia from Maruss.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Particularly invoked in his fights with Bago and Goomu.

* [[Beware the Silly Ones]]

* [[Cowardly Lion]]: At least once he begins to get some stronger spells...

* [[Delicious Distraction]]: Candies, which actually led him to nothing but trouble.

* [[Richard Steven Horvitz]]: His voice actor in the English dub.

* [[Sweet Tooth]]

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Compared to Zatch's electrical powers, Tia's shielding and healing abilities, and Ponygon's super-speed armor, transforming into something without any boost to strength seems a bit lame.

** [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: Of course, once you figure out how to use these powers ''correctly'', they're useful. Kanchome's illusions are vital to a number of victories, and once he develops stronger techniques, is arguably the strongest demon in the series.

* [[Instant Armor]]: The effect of every spell he learns.

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood|My Name is Not Umagon/Ponygon]]

* [[The Unintelligible]]: To everyone but Sunbeam and fellow horse Karudio, though Sunbeam still can't understand his name and Karudio never tells anyone because he's sort of a dick like that.

 

 

* [[Badass]]

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]

** [[Casting a Shadow]]: His powers actually manifest as gravity manipulation.

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The blue to Zatch's red.

* [[Sociopathic Hero]]

 

== Sherry Belmont ==

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: As a little girl, she couldn't take her mother's abuse and attempted to drown herself, but Koko saved her.

* [[Fumiko Orikasa]]

* [[Lady of War]]

* [[Name's the Same]] (Has the same surname, but no relationship to the vampire-hunting Belmont clan from [[Castlevania]])

* [[Princess Curls]]

* [[Rich Bitch]]: Sort of; she's not a snob, but she is kind of bitchy. [[Freudian Excuse|And can you blame her?]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Gustav.

* [[This Is a Drill]]: Generally, his spells revolve around twisters, but a couple of his spells concentrate them into drills on his arms.

 

== Kolulu ==

 

== Earth & Elly ==

* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]: The ''Jerudo Ma Sorudo'' spell is a powerful Iai attack that can be held back and released instantly when the enemy gets within range.

* [[Littlest Cancer Patient]]: Elly

* {{spoiler|[[Storm of Blades]]}}: In the manga, the {{spoiler|''Varusere Ozu Māru Sorudon''}} spell.

Ashuron first makes his appearance as one of the final ten demons in the fight, an incredibly powerful dragon. After testing Zatch in battle, he reveals that he is seeking to defeat Clear Note, an evil demon with considerable strength of his own.

* [[Giant Flyer]]

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Specifically, huge (even when children), intelligent, can become human, and love sake.

* [[Shape Shifter]]: Like Rein before him, he can take human form, though it's still pretty freaky.

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]

* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]

* [[Static Character]]: We wouldn't love her any other way.

* [[Unknown Rival]]: To Shion Hibiki and Megumi.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: To Sherry and Brago.

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the first major arc, at least.

* [[Dirty Coward]]

* [[Faux Affably Evil]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[Smug Snake]]

 

 

* [[Affably Evil]]: Rarely loses her cute, smiling demeanor even when she's being evil.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Her backstory. Zofis is able to use this to his advantage. Then she attempts to do this to Sherry...

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: English voice actress, Lara Jill Miller, is also well-known for her role as Kari from Digimon.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Zofis removes all memories of her actions while evil. He refuses to do so until Brago tells him that if he doesn't, he will personally make Zofis' life in the demon world a living hell.

* [[More Than Mind Control]]: Zofis attempts to convince Sherry it's this. It ''almost'' works.

** In some ways it is. Unlike other people whose minds Zofis simply controlled, Zofis created [[Split Personality|an entirely different personality]] out of the dark feelings in Koko's heart so that she would be his bookkeeper. Zofis restores her heart to normal after he gets beaten.

 

== Riou/Leo ==

* [[Clown Car Base]]: You know that mouth on his chest? ''His partner's in there.''

* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: His final spell turns him into a giant berserk beast. {{spoiler|He's ''still'' no match for Zeon.}}

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Aforementioned final spell.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His staff.

* [[Evil Albino]]

* [[Cain and Abel]]

* [[Evil Twin]]: Of Zatch, natch. {{spoiler|Literally.}}

* [[Flanderization]]: His anime counterpart. In the manga, Zeon does start out rather dickish but as the battle goes on we start to see he does have a noble side and that his actions were purely driven by jealously {{spoiler|which he eventually overcomes once he sees Zatch's past}}. In the anime, no such development exists, he's evil through and through and has nothing but contempt for Zatch to the bitter end, even when he's beaten. This was because the author had broken his hand as he was in the midst of the story arc and the anime rapidly caught up before he could do the battle between Zatch and Zeno. So the animation staff just had to go with anything and just ran with what they had.

* [[The Heavy]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}

* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Dufort was raised in a lab environment from childhood, treated cruelly and anyone kind to him was removed. After years of torment and testing, he was given one final battery of tests that opened the path to his release, all while taunted by the scientist who had ruled his life. Turns out that A)His Answer Talker was being used for military application, B) He was being released into the Arctic to die rather than being freed, and, oh, C) His mother sold him for ten thousand dollars.}} Teaming up with Zeon doesn't seem so far-fetched, considering...

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Justified with his past.

* [[The Mentor]]: {{spoiler|During the Clear Note arc, he helps the remaining protagonists bring out their greatest potential via his use of the Answer Talker.}}

* [[The Stoic]]

 

* [[Anti-Magic]]: The ''Supurifo'' spell family.

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the last arc.

* [[Bishonen Line]]: Played straight with first, then averted with his [[One-Winged Angel]] form.

* [[Creepy Child]]: All Mamodo are children, but Clear Note looks the most human of them all.

* [[Dem Bones]]: The ''Bādorerugo'' spell conjures a giant, white, winged doll, which looks like a dragon skeleton.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: To its [[Death Seeker|logical extreme.]]

* [[One-Winged Angel]]

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: He compares himself to a nuke.

* [[Power of the Void]]: The ''Radisu'' spell family.

* [[Recursive Ammo]]: ''Bādorerugo'' can shoot its hands which seperate into smaller parts. Every tiny part contains the Annihilation effect of the ''Radisu'' spell family.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* {{spoiler|[[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]}}: {{spoiler|His current looks, goal and power level comes from him being controlled by his own spell, ''Shin Clear Seunousu''}}.

* [[Making a Splash]]

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: So Giaku, the dragon of water and {{spoiler|Shin So Giaku}}.

* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Byonko.

* [[Yandere]] - Towards Gash. ''Hoo boy.'' Finally stops being one with her [[Heel Face Turn]], though.

Rodeaux is a powerful winged demon that allies with Riou to wake up Faudo.

 

* {{spoiler|[[Pet the Dog]]:}} {{spoiler|The speech that Rodeaux gives to Chita before Zeon burns his book, telling her to find her own willpower.}}

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Rodeaux.

 

== Keith ==

 

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

 

* {{spoiler|[[Because You Were Nice to Me]]: The reason behind his [[Heel Face Turn]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]:}} {{spoiler|Mir.}}

* [[Power of the Void]]: His spell theme. Works slightly different from Clear's and looks drastically different.

* [[Brick Joke]]: Remember that stone Kiyo found and did all those weird things to...? ''He remembers it all.''

* [[Star Power]]

 

== Demolt ==

* [[Blood Knight]]: He laughs after being hit in the face by Ponygon and Zatch.

* [[The Berserker]]: Described as one.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: He might have let Zatch's Zakeruzem hit him the first time (and then Zakurga'd his arm with a painful explosion), but after that, he figures out its effects just as quickly as Kiyo and dodges all attempts made on him. Until Laila and Albert restrict his movement, that is.

* [[The Dragon]]: Kinda looks like one, and Brago explicitly states his power is greater than Zofis's own.

 

== Minor Characters ==

Zatch's number one nemesis who bullies him throughout the story and is the only one that he can't defeat.

* [[The Bully]]

* [[Kuudere]] / [[Tsundere]]

 

The math teaher's wife.

* [[Gag Boobs]]

 

== Ms.Wriggle/Monmon-sensei ==
