    Kiyo Takanime finds out about a certain battle that will change his life, a battle to become king of the mamodo (demon) world. Every one thousand years, one hundred mamodo (demons) come in to the Human World to fight. The winner of this battle becomes ruler of the mamodo (demon) world. But each mamodo (demon) needs a human book owner that will read the spells. If a book is burnt, the fire cannot be put out. The mamodo (demon) will return to the mamodo (demon) world. The last one standing will be king. Will Kiyo give up his book to Brago and Sherry?moreless

    The episode starts out Kiyo having flashbacks about their battle between Reycom and Hosokawa. Now Zatch is depressed that he learned his "special thing", the hard way. AS Kiyo walks from school he sees Zatch ontop of the clock. It about 100 ft. and Kiyo thinks that he's gonna jump because of his depression. But really he's trying to contact his powers to show his "friends". After Kiyo gets pissed off at Zatch, he goes back home, leaving Zatch in the falling rain. Then Zatch meets a wondering dog. They become friends, in Zatch's thinking. After Kiyo gets home, the doorbell rings and Sherry's at the door. She then explains why these mamodo are here. Zatch is secretly listening to the conversation. The owner of the little dog has a spellbook. Soon Zatch realizes that he took home a mamodo fight than a stray.moreless

    well from what I got from sherrie every 1000 years 100 Mamodo like Zatch come from the mamodo world to earth to fight to see who becomes king. I know deep down inside no matter what Zatch heard that he's no tool and that he's not like most mamodo, kind.

    ADD QUOTES
    • Sherry: (Finished explaining the battle) I'm sure, now that you understand, you'll be relieved to hand over your book. Kiyo: Huh? Sherry: You never asked to be a part of this and it will be a long, unpleasant bussiness. You must see that. Edit
    • Kiyo: (refering to the battle) So thats the object of the game? Sherry: That's right. To find and burn as many of the books as possible. But it's hardly a game to them. Each book burned means another rival out of the way. Kiyo: I see, so the last one standing is... Brago: The Mamodo King! Edit
    • Kiyo: What's a mamodo? Sherry: Some call them underlings, or imps, or monsters. They exsist in another world separate from ours. I know it sounds strange. Kiyo: Or crazy. No offense. Edit
