Biography[]

Arth is a mamodo who appears like a living armor and descended from a long line of peacekeepers. He hopes that when he becomes the Mamodo King, he can write up laws that will bring about peace and stability. He initially encounters his partner living in a Finnish hospital. But because she was a small girl living with a terminal illness, Elly initially refuses Arth's request, believing that she would die in the midst of the battle to be king making him vulnerable. However, when Gani Fest starts attacking the defenseless Arth, Elly finally takes up his book and sides with him in the fight. Although small and young, Elly is wise beyond her years and is capable of great strategies while Arth knows of many of the legends of the Mamodo World. Arth and Elly's relationship is notably similar to that between a master and servant (at Arth's request). Arth is shown to be extremely soft when concerning his partner, demonstrated when he starts crying after Elly's curse was lifted, much to Elly's embarrassment.

Initially encountering Zatch with knowledge of the threat of the awakening Faudo Tower, Arth and Elly test them to discover the power of the legendary Bao spell, which they understood were key both to awaken and ultimately defeat the massive mamodo. However, Riou still uses the duo to his own advantage, placing his curse on Elly and subsequently reawakening her disease. However, Elly still resists to fight along Riou, who sends Hougan to call them back, but the duo is easily defeated. Due to this, Arth, as well as Zatch, play along in using their spells to wake Faudo. But after lifting the seal, Arth soon helps in the effort to eliminate the tower, working with Karudio to destroy the Heart Guardian and set the controls for return.

After Faudo's defeat, Arth and Elly were one of the ten remaining mamodo teams in the King Festival. Because of the strain suffered during the battle of Faudo, Elly's illness worsened. Coupled with the discovery of a cure, Arth wishes to depart for Elly's survival, much to her dismay. Soon after, they were the first team targeted for send-back by the beetle mamodo Gorm. Because Elly's illness gave them a disadvantage, they were ultimately defeated. As Arth fears for his possible death by the King's power, Elly reassures him that Zatch and his allies are still in the competition and that she will plead with Zatch to allow him to live and become his legal advisor. After sharing one last hug, Arth returns to the Mamodo World feeling certain he will be revived.

Elly is shown praying hard for Zatch's victory against Clear after receiving their letter. Arth is one of the mamodo who appears to Zatch when his book becomes gold during the fight with Clear Note. One month after Zatch becomes king, Arth has been appointed as his legal advisor and is shown helping Zatch with his study of how to become king.

Trivia[]

  • Arth is the last remaining mamodo in the fight to carry his own weapon.
  • Arth is the only mamodo that perform a chant before using a spell (specifically Barubarosu Sorudon, Gyan Bagyamu Sorudon and Varusere Ozu Māru Sorudon).
  • Among Zatch's friends, Arth has the shortest and the youngest bookkeeper.
  • Arth is the only Mamodo in the fight who has ever been seen reading Mamodo language.
  • Arth is the only Mamodo that Zatch meets in the Faudo Arc that makes it through without getting his book burned in the manga. However, his book was burned during the Faudo Arc in the anime.
  • Arth's appearance is loosely based on what Zatch would have looked like in Makoto Raiku's "Toy/Knight" idea.
  • In the Japan-only game Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Go! Go! Mamono Fight!!, Arth's sound effects and voice are what seems to be a sped up elephant screech.
  • Arth has magic paper used to conceal things. He used it only in the manga to cover the lock to the device that would send Faudo back to the mamodo world.
  • Arth and Elly were the final mamodo team revealed in the English dub of the anime (on YTV in Canada) before the English dub was ultimately canceled.
  • Elly proved to activate the "Answer Talker" in the battle against Faudo's heart monster (Chapter 243).
  • Arth's starting location in the Human World was presumably Finland, by proximity to his partner.
