    The episode starts out with a mamodo named Bari. Bari is a very strong mamodo who is looking for a challenge. His partner, Gustav, tells him about a mamodo in Japan who has been undefeated so far. So they fly to Japan and search for a mamodo named "Zatch". Finally, when they find Zatch (with Bari scaring away Naomi), Bari tells him that if Zatch doesn't fight Bari, then Bari will destroy every human that is dear to him. Zatch runs to the school to get Kiyo. So Bari and Zatch meet in a warehouse and begin battling. Zatch and Kiyo are losing, can they beat these strong opponents?moreless

    Bari is definetly better than Zatch, but Ponygon is still thje best! Bari's 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st spell were all amazing and he is the strongest mamodo ever! Bari and Gustav are unstoppable, but to see, watch the next episode! Bari vs. Zatch,why? I forget!! Just watch the episode after!

    Barry is an extremely strong mamodo that is sick of fighting weaklings. He hears rumors about a mamodo named Zatch Bell in Japan where other mamodos go to battle him and they never came back. Interested, he challenges him to a duel. Will Zatch and Kiyo be able to win against the ferocious Barry?

    This episode was pretty good; atleast better than last week's episode, even though it was funny. The battle in this is great; full of excitement and great spells. There was something weird though in the preview for next week... at the very end it showed Zatch dissapearing like his book was burned! I know the series won't end, but I am still wondering what will happen.
