    Kanchome gets seperated from Folgore and ends up at a circus! The circus is not without its troubles though, and Kanchome has a hard time doing the stunts. After the circus, Kanchome finds a little girl named Rusca sitting by herself under a tree. The two talk with each other and become friends, with Kanchome becoming like a brother to her. She invites him to her house where Kanchome finds a lot of sheep. He wonder why there are sheep here when her grandmother tells Kanchome that her parent have passed away and the sheep are the closest thing to family that she has. Suddenly! A dragon mamodo and his partner come and steal all the sheep. Despite Kanchome's best efforts the theives get away and Rusca is left crying. Kanchome leaves to take back the sheep when Folgore comes on a motorcycle and asks whether he wants to rescue Rusca's sheep. Kanchome doesn't know whether he can defeat the thieves but he wants to see Rusca smile again. "Folgore, do you think maybe you can help me?" "Of Course I will bambino," replies Folgore.

    7.8 Good

    It was okay. hide show

    This episode of Zatch Bell was okay. I do not like Kanchome, he is one of my least favorite characters. So I obviously did not like this episode. It is very boring. Also, I absolutely hate Folgore, so I did not like this episode even more. But it was kind of cute the way Kanchome was like a big brother to that little girl. But the story line was very boring. This is definately not one of my favorite episodes. But when Tia met Naomi, that was funny! At first, I thought Tia would beat Naomi up, but they both started to hurt Zatch!
