    This man Dr. Riddles and his majestic twelve come to where Zatch and Kiyo live. first hes entertaining the kids at the park,Naomi and her pals, when Naomi says your not really magic and your a ventriloquist. That makes Dr. Riddles angry so he snaps his fingers and a a lot of birds come out of Naomis dress and lift her off the ground! Then he puts her down and Naomi says your not a normal magician are you. The next scene is Zatch and Kiyo Zatch getting mad hes not strong then the door knocks so they start to get up but then kiddo appears on the windowsill. He says oh no need to get up I'm already here. Zatch and Kiyos next screen is them outside and its all foggy. Dr. Riddles goes and introduces the !!Majestic twelve!! Kiyo says dumbly the majestic twelve!?!?!?! We have to fight all of them! Dr. Riddles then asks which ones the odd man out and he says !!lady susan!!,whose power is that she smells good. Correct said Dr Riddles.Zatch and Kiyo then do battle. Dr Riddles says he knows everything about anything but he really doesn't know that much, he either says or not or just joking, the only thing he knows a lot of is about the mamodo world. While in the fight Dr. Riddles gives them riddles while there holding attacks against each other. If Kiyo got it wrong Dr. Riddles,as I say, put on the heat and phased the zaker/zakeruga spells. After he asks about how the spells come out they were wrong. It isn't that he can't read the spells its that they havent been written yet the only way to get the book to open up and give out a new spell is to seriously believe in himself. Kiyo tells Zatch that and then it shows Zatch outside these book like gates and he is floating. Then the gates open. Then it shows Zatch and Kiyo says the new spell RAUZARUK!! Suddenly a cloud in the shape of rings form around zatch in the sky. Lightning strikes zatch and then he starts glowing.moreless

    The episode begins with Kiyo walking into his room to find the stone tablet missing(he blames Ponygon of the theft). Then, it goes on to Kiyo and Zatch wondering about how Zatch will ever become stronger, when suddenly, a mysterious puppet boy pops up on the window sill and tells them a man known as Dr. Riddles is waiting outside. Kiyo and Zatch go outside and see he has a spellbook. However, Riddle tells them he doesn't plan on fighting, and he then introduces them to the Majestic Twelve(interesting group of superheroes)and asks them which is the "odd man out." Kiyo guesses Lady Susan(she has no powers, unlike the others, except for smelling good). Dr. Riddles leaves Kiyo and Zatch then, but he returns the next day. He tells them he would like to battle. As the battle progresses, Riddle continues questioning Kiyo on the book until finally Kiyo realizes that, Zatch's power comes from within, and not the book. He tells Zatch what he's realized, and the 6th spell appears in the book! Kiyo reads it, and Zatch is surrounded by a rainbow colored...haze, I guess. Kiyo immediately notices that Zatch doesn't faint when this spell is read...
     All in all, I thought this was a great episode and definitely worth watching! I liked how they portrayed Zatch getting the new spell in particular. It showed a large stone door with writing like that on the book, suddenly opening up. It was very interesting. I don't think this is an episode you'd want to miss.moreless

    This episode was OK, but I wouldn't say the best. I was pretty sure that they would edit out some parts with Big Boing. So... The Majestic Twelve, sounds like some Justice League gang of villans, but in Zatch Bell, they aren't really villans, just...just... Wierd superheroes.

    The Majestic Twelve are:

    Flying Beat
    Rocket Hood
    Two Lighting Eye
    Second Sight
    Dinosaur Arm
    Wonderful-to-the-Future
    Psycho Jungle
    Fire Elbow
    Big Boing
    Blizzard Sing
    Trevor Mole
    Telepathy Radar
