    Zatch and Kiyo encounter a shapeshifting mamodo, Kanchome, who tricks Zatch into thinking he is Kiyo while the real one was nailed in the roof by Kanchome's partner, a singing sensation named Folgore. Kanchome (Transformed Into Kiyo) tries to make Zatch tell him where the book is, will Zatch tell him where the book is, or will Kiyo be able to escape? The episode begins with Zatch, carrying a huge fat fish, climbing the stairs to Kiyo's room. He pauses to resist the temptation of eating it in the hallway, claiming his ill companion needs it. He enters the room and displays it to Kiyo, but notices something is off. He decides that the longer than average nose it just a symptom of the cold, and together they devour the fish. Above them, a normal nosed Kiyo is mentally pleading with Zatch to not trust the one below him. Too bad that the little mamodo is dense, and doesn't notice that the overly cheerful Kiyo is really a mamodo. Suzy decides to make an appearance, the real Kiyo is glad to see her, hoping that she would notice. His hopes are diminished however, when she asks if he got a haircut, and when the mamodo tells her that she looks rather pretty. The real Kiyo is horrified and silently yells (due to the tape over his mouth) at him for saying that. Now determined seeing that his two friends are having fun with the imposter, he begins to break free of the straps binding him to the ceiling. He manages to get it all off, and falls headfirst behind Zatch and imposter. The all stares at him until the real Kiyo continuously points to his nose, and then the imposter's nose stating the difference. Zatch tries to deny it and tells Kiyo that he knows his face, but being tied to the ceiling, he saw that his tiny friend was thoroughly fooled. Kiyo seemed annoyed that all Suzy had to say was to ask if that meant he didn't really think she was pretty. The fake Kiyo tried to regain trust, but failed as the real one punched him in the head. In a swirl of pink mist a tiny mamodo with a duckbill, orange hair, and white pajamas appears. Suzy faints after stating that Kiyo was a duckling, the new mamodo rushing to catch her as she was falling and place her on the bed, saying that she really was pretty. The little mamodo, without his bookkeeper, is quite powerless at the moment, since Folgore decided to stay with his fan girls for a little longer. So he takes a seat, and brags about having candy and eats it in Zatch's face trying to make him jealous. Kiyo jokes about Folgore maybe not showing up because he doesn't share. Kyanchome takes it seriously though, and says that Folgore was his friend and wouldn't leave him even if he disappeared sometimes he always came back. After two hours of waiting, a thin man with golden blond hair past his shoulders comes in. He and his mamodo repeatedly introduce themselves, until Kiyo gets annoyed. Folgore tosses Kiyo a CD called 'Hey, Hey Let's Dance All Day' and begins to sing and dance to the beat with Zatch imitating his movements. Kiyo thinks it's a hypnosis thing and blast Folgore with Zaker. They continue to do so every time Kyanchome and Folgore would stand and sing a song about being invincible, until Folgore suddenly turns serious when Kiyo says they should give up because he was beginning to feel bad for them. He casts his first spell Poruke, and Kyanchome turns into a cannon. Kiyo and Zatch get defensive, and blast again. It was meant to be a scare tactic because apparently the canon could do anything as Folgore said while crying and patting it. He tells Kyanchome that they should leave because he wouldn't be able to take another shock, and that he had no shirt left and there was nothing to cover his 'wonderful' chest. Kyanchome states that he'd be the one to take the hits and rants to Zatch, asking how he became strong all of a sudden because before everyone would pick on him for being weak. He says that he and Folgore came to Japan to fight them because Zatch was supposed to be weak and Kyanchome wanted to beat him. After his speech, they gain the next spell, that makes Kyanchome shrink to three inches high. He decides that crawling up Kiyo's pants and then biting hid abdomen was a fun thing to do, and then went up and kicked his face. It had no effect however, and with a simple breath Kiyo blew him away to the floor where he threatened to draw on them with a marker. Kiyo tells Zatch to get a frying pan from the kitchen. Kyanchome climbs onto the desk with Kiyo, Zatch, and Folgore watching carefully, the literally tiny mamodo is drawn to that large piece of chocolate in that frying pan. Kiyo murmurs 'Jikerdor' and Kyanchome ends up magnetized to the metal cooking appliance. They decide to let them off. Later Suzy wakes up confused, Kiyo assures her that the big nosed him was a nightmare.moreless

    This episode was OKAY. Folgore's song was funny (Japanese or English) and Kanchome is a weakling. This just is not one of the good episodes. There is not very much of a plot line. Also, I do not like this episode because Kanchome and Folgore are my least favorite characters. But I have to admit, they do help Zatch and Kiyo alot later on. Especailly when the Zofis and the millenium mamodo come along. But, I guess it was pretty good. We find out in this episode that both Zatch and Kanchome were weaklings in the mamodo world. So, this episode was OKAY.moreless
