Arrival at Faudo! Desperate Assault. Assassins That Awaited is the one hundred and twenty seventh episode of Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash Bell!! anime and the twenty seventh episode of Season 3.
Synopsis[]
With only two days until Faudo’s revival, Zatch, Kiyo, and their allies board a plane to locate the giant demonic structure, while Zeno reveals to Dufort that Faudo is the legendary Demonic Giant Soldier, a controllable weapon of immense power. As the group approaches, Kiyo briefly exposes Faudo with Zakeru before leading everyone to parachute onto its surface. Riou orders Keith and Buzarai to intercept the intruders, and their attacks scatter the teams upon landing. Kiyo reunites with Zatch, Kanchomé, and Folgore, while Megumi, Tia, Sunbeam, and Ponygon discover Elle trapped below a cliff. Venturing deeper into Faudo, Kiyo’s group encounters Keith, who theatrically greets them with Ode to Joy before angrily launching into battle, joined by Buzarai, as Zatch and Kanchomé prepare for a desperate fight.
Full Summary[]
A flashback of Zeno first learning about Faudo in the Mamodo World
With only two days left until Faudo’s revival, Zatch, Kiyo, and their allies board their next chartered flight to locate Faudo’s exact position. Kiyo tries his best to rally everyone, but the group remains deeply unsettled by the recent revelation regarding Faudo’s true nature. Some question how Kiyo plans to defeat Faudo once its seal is broken, but Kiyo tries to ease their fears by suggesting that Kanchomé’s theory about Faudo could be wrong. However, Zeon confirms Faudo’s true identity to Dufort, revealing from his studies that Faudo is known as the Demonic Giant Soldier, a massive being so powerful it was sealed at the farthest edge of the Mamodo World. He explains that Faudo can be controlled, which fascinates both him and Dufort as they envision wielding such power.
Kiyo prepares the group into parachuting to Faudo
At Faudo, Zaruchim informs Riou that at least eight different mamodo are approaching. Riou grows irritated but listens as Zaruchim speculates that their movements are being monitored and leaked. Riou then summons Keith and Buzarai, ordering them to intercept the intruders. Meanwhile, on the plane, Apollo hears the pilot mention unusual readings on the control panel, and suddenly all mamodo onboard sense Faudo’s presence. Acting quickly, Kiyo opens the plane door and casts Zakeru outside, briefly revealing Faudo’s colossal, thunder-shrouded form before it vanishes again. Determined, Kiyo orders Apollo to fly upward toward Faudo’s top, the only entry point beyond the storm barrier. Once there, Zatch, Kiyo, and their allies leap from the plane with parachutes as Apollo watches them disappear into the storm.
Zatch and Kiyo find Kanchomé and Folgore after landing
On the ground, Keith, Buzarai, and their bookkeepers spot the descending group and attack, damaging Apollo’s plane and scattering the teams. Kiyo reunites with Zatch, Kanchomé, and Folgore, while Megumi and Tia land with Sunbeam and Ponygon, who quickly discover Elle stranded at the bottom of a cliff. They see no sign of Momon but assume his evasiveness will keep him safe. As Sunbeam, Megumi, and Tia plan Elle’s rescue, Kiyo’s group presses through the forest until they encounter Keith. Keith greets them flamboyantly by performing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, prompting an annoyed Kiyo to immediately cast Zakeru at him.
Keith mentions his rivalry with Bari
Keith grows angry at his song being interrupted, but Kiyo wastes no time casting Zakeruga. Keith dodges with ease, launching his spring-like arms to propel himself into Folgore with a powerful strike before returning to his perch. Looking back at the group, Keith remarks that their recklessness reminds him of Barry, his old rival in the Mamodo World. Shocked, Kiyo and Zatch recall their past battle with Barry and admit they lost to his immense strength. Keith warns them to take their fight with him seriously or risk losing their lives. The episode ends with Buzarai arriving to join Keith, signaling the start of the intense battle awaiting Zatch and Kanchomé.
