00:00Ha ha! You're a cute one! Do you like squeaky toys?
00:07Welcome back everyone! Today in the review, we'll be getting some backstory on my personal favorite team in the series.
00:14We'll be introduced to a new companion, and we'll be getting the appearance of a fan-favorite team as well.
00:21I hope you all are ready, so let's get into it!
00:25We begin, coming in on my glorious King Brago, catching a meal by killing a huge crocodile.
00:32While him and Sherry eat, they wonder why they haven't been able to find their opponent in three days now,
00:38and Brago just tells her it's probably because they don't want to fight him.
00:43As they start searching again, we go into a flashback, to Sherry trying to console her childhood friend Coco,
00:50and being angry at how others treat her since she saved her life in the past.
00:56Her butler then tells her that he got a letter from a friend at a university that she got accepted into,
01:03as well as getting a scholarship with it.
01:06Sherry, of course, being elated about the news, goes to tell Coco,
01:11but when she arrives at her town, the whole thing is burning down, with Coco enjoying it being destroyed.
01:18Sherry, of course, yells at her, wondering why she would do this with her yelling back that now that she has power,
01:24no one will look down on her, and she will strike down those who do.
01:29She, of course, deduces that this is not something Coco would ever do,
01:33and accuses the child by her of doing something to her.
01:37He introduces himself as Zophis, and tells her that he manipulated her heart so she would give in to her hatred,
01:46and that he gave her a want to fight others and to destroy her surroundings.
01:51He then explains the battle to become king to her, and prepares to kill her when we cut back to the present,
01:58with them finally finding the team they were chasing.
02:01They begin their battle, but in the middle of it, Sherry starts to pass out from exhaustion, prompting another flashback,
02:08to her childhood and her mother constantly abusing her by making her overexert herself through so many activities,
02:16not even caring if she is sleep deprived and hurt herself because of all of the work she is doing.
02:22And sadly, like some children in abusive families, Sherry decides to take her own life by drowning herself in a river,
02:30but Coco saw her attempt and dove in after her, getting her to safety, telling her that if she died just now,
02:37she would never get to see the happiness she would have in the future,
02:41even if it seems her future is pitch black now that there's always an exit into the daylight.
02:47And as long as she keeps walking forwards, she will find it.
02:52Remembering that she needs the strength to free Coco, she unleashes a spell that flattens the whole area, winning the battle.
03:00We get one last flashback to Zophis seemingly killing her, but we see Brago block the blast,
03:06and ask her to read his book, with him in the present caring for her while still complaining that she is a weak human.
03:14We come back to Kiyo and Zatch finally getting back to Japan, with a stowaway that followed them.
03:20The horse Mamoto followed them back, being happy seeing Zatch again, but just straight up chomps down on Kiyo's arm.
03:28Ha ha, you're a cute one. Do you like squeaky toys?
03:35They go back to Kiyo's house, but of course he does not want to keep this new character.
03:41But while looking through his bag, he sees that he is a Mamoto with a spellbook,
03:46and then cuts the ropes the book was in, getting the horse very angry with us seeing a flashback of his mother making the Urova backpack for him.
03:56Kiyo's friends then arrive, happy to see that he made it back safely, with Tia arriving as well.
04:02Eventually, the horse gets on Kiyo's nerves enough to make him kick it out.
04:07With Zatch going after him, even though he is another Mamoto,
04:11Tia and him find the horse trying to have people read his book, indicating that he still doesn't have a bookmaster over a quarter way through the battle,
04:21with Tia relating to him since it took her months to find Megumi.
04:26Zatch even says when they first met him, he had tears in his eyes, looking glad he found him.
04:32So he knew him from the Mamoto world, but of course he can't remember being friends with him.
04:38Kiyo does lament, feeling bad for him, so tells Zatch to bring him back to the house and he can live there until he finds a bookmaster.
04:47And they also name him Umagon or Ponygon in the dub, but his real name is Schneider, so that's what I will be referring to him as.
04:57Kiyo finally goes back to school, but notices Suzume is acting strangely, so follows her.
05:03He sees that she's been helping a kid that is going through a rough time because his parents are separated.
05:10And he believes stacking up rocks will help his wish of them living like they used to come true.
05:16So that explains why she had all those bandages on her hands.
05:21Ending the chapter with her telling Kiyo that the boy's parents did get back together.
05:26We then skip a few days with Kiyo walking around in town when a kid almost gets hit by a car, but a Mamoto saves him.
05:33With them quickly walking off, Kiyo follows them, and they are just entertaining some kids in the park.
05:40The book holder notices him, but tells him to relax, because he doesn't really care about the battle to become king.
05:47He introduces himself as Apollo, and his Mamoto as Rops.
05:52He was just traveling the world because he has to inherit a large company in the future, and just happened to cross Rops.
06:00And they have fought other teams, but never burned their books.
06:04He sees that they are nothing like some of the teams they have come across, and tells Apollo, him, and Zatch's story.
06:11He says that he is glad that they don't have to fight, but asks him if he's really okay with not caring about the battle.
06:19And triggers something in Apollo, making him ask Kiyo to fight, since he saw something in him that he himself is missing.
06:27Kiyo quickly goes and gets Zatch, and meets him at a quarry they agreed to, to have their fight.
06:34Once they get there, he tells Apollo that he doesn't want to fight, if they don't have to.
06:39But Apollo just casts a spell at them, saying it would be bad if he burned their book, forcing them into a fight.
06:46Kiyo then blasts one of the rocks he lifted up with a spell, so the pieces would fall on him, but Apollo just simply dodges all of the falling stones.
06:56Using one of them to throw at Kiyo, knocking the book out of his hand with ropes right behind them, ready to burn it.
07:04He then tells them to come at him seriously, or he will burn their book for real next time.
07:10They begin to fight again, but to end it quickly, Kiyo tries to cast Bao again, but fails.
07:17Leaving Apollo disappointed.
07:20Zatch protects Kiyo, and asks Kiyo to direct him on how they can win, snapping Kiyo out of the daze he was in.
07:28Now Kiyo, seriously fighting him, gets Apollo excited, except when they aim at Rops.
07:34But once he saw how determined Rops was to win, he finally came to the realization that he will make Rops the next king, and cast their strongest spell.
07:45Kiyo seeing this, racks his brain on what to do, but comes to the conclusion he has to try to use Bao again.
07:53So he casts it, and both spells cancel each other out.
07:57With both Apollo and Kiyo not being able to move, making the match a draw.
08:03With Apollo feeling pretty good, he went all out in a battle for once.
08:07Him and Kiyo talk afterwards, with him explaining he felt a buildup of energy while they fought with it, all being released when he casted Bao.
08:19So Kiyo figures out that Bao is a spell they can't just cast at the start of a battle.
08:25Apollo says that him and Rops will come to visit Kiyo and Zatch later, but he wants to walk around a bit more.
08:32But once night falls, Rops wants to keep on traveling, so Apollo follows.
08:37Sad that he won't get to see them again, for a while at least, but happy that Rops feels a new sense of joy.
08:45Chapter 54, we get a mirroring of Sherry and Brago with Zatch and Kiyo.
08:51Basically foreshadowing that they will be our dual protagonists for this saga of the story.
08:57Chapter 56 has a full page spread of Schneider.
09:02Chapter 57 has Zatch in a samurai outfit riding Schneider.
09:06Volume 7 cover is of Zatch and Kiyo with their spellbook copied everywhere and on Zatch's cloak.
09:14I honestly think this may be my least favorite cover since it's so simple and way too read.
09:22It would have been better to just have all the spellbooks be different colors referencing all of the teams they have met so far.
09:29We get a page of Danny and Mr. Goldo fishing.
09:33Chapter 58 has Suzume running on the beach.
09:36Chapter 59 has a detailed drawing of Zatch.
09:40And a small picture of Rops fishing with his spell.
09:43Getting a fish that Zatch was already eating.
09:46Chapter 60 has a four panel picture of everyone before they started fighting.
09:52And chapter 62 is just a full page spread of Apollo and Rops' ultimate spell.
09:57And of course I have to mention the double page spread of Bao being summoned again.
10:03Alright, first thing.
10:05Suzume has a nice little story expanding her character a bit.
10:09Having her help a child that was distressed about his parents splitting apart.
10:13Next, the team that Broga and Sherry fought were decent opponents.
10:17And they were another plant based team which being in the jungle buffed them even more.
10:22But I am sure they would have beaten them much easier if Sherry did not push herself as much as she did.
10:29Schneider had his true introduction here and is pretty comedic with how he looks and is friendly with everyone except Kyo.
10:37And I do have to say I can side with him on this one a little bit.
10:41Since Kyo cut the backpack his mother made for his book and named him something so simple and stupid.
10:50And doesn't seem to care that he hates the name.
10:53Then not having a book owner yet is honestly really bad for him.
10:58And he is lucky he ran into a friend in Zatch and not another team trying to burn his book.
11:04But we will see more of him next review.
11:07Apollo and Rops are next and we see they are pretty powerful characters.
11:12We only see two spells from them but they are able to match our protagonists because of how versatile their spells are.
11:20With how agile they both are as well dodging falling rocks and sneaking behind Zatch and Kyo without them noticing.
11:27Then we see they have been in three other fights that they seem to have beaten with low difficulty.
11:33With one of them being Rovnos.
11:36Overall I like these guys and they had a great introduction as another pair of rivals for our heroes.
11:43And then the main event of this video review at least in my opinion.
11:48Getting some great character development on Brago and Sherry.
11:52Sherry having a horrible childhood filled with physical and mental abuse from her mother.
11:58But then finding a light of hope in her friend Koko.
12:01That was stolen away by Zophis who has some pretty evil and overpowered abilities.
12:08Basically having mind slash soul manipulation.
12:12Making Koko completely obedient to him since he made her kill Sherry.
12:17If there was any shred of her in there she would have refused.
12:22And of course it is no secret that he will be a major villain in the future.
12:26And a note I want to say here is that when I was a kid I thought Zophis was a girl.
12:32Kind of like how I thought Frieza from Dragon Ball Z was a girl when I was super young.
12:37But getting back to Sherry we see why she pushes herself so much.
12:42Because she wants to save her friend from a quite literal demon that is controlling her.
12:48Then with Brago we get some really subtle insight into him.
12:52He still complains that he has to rely on a weak human to cast his spells.
12:57But he thinks she's not so bad since she can stay awake for three days straight unlike other humans.
13:05And he was even worrying about her condition since she was up for all that time.
13:10Then we see in that flashback he saved her from getting killed.
13:14So I'm going to read into this a bit.
13:17He probably saw the huge fire happening and spied on Zophis until Sherry arrived.
13:23And he may have felt some empathy for her even though he probably would not admit it.
13:29And or he saw that she was full of emotion and saw that she would have a vendetta against another strong Momodo like himself.
13:37So risked getting hurt to see if she could read his book.
13:41Either way his plan worked and they are an extremely powerful team so far.
13:47With us ending on him putting his jacket on her and carrying her off so she can finally rest for a while.
13:54Zach didn't have much character moments in these chapters.
13:58Just mainly his kindness helping him in Schneider wanting to be his companion.
14:03And showing that he does trust Kyo to direct him knowing that Kyo has more battle sense than he does.
14:10For Kyo he had a decent amount of development with him relenting on letting Schneider stay with them until he has a partner of his own.
14:18And by doing something like this he all but guarantees that he will be an ally in the future.
14:24But I am sure Kyo isn't thinking about that.
14:27And then he got a wake up call in fighting Apollo.
14:30Since I will say Apollo seems to be a better bookmaster than Kyo.
14:35With his main example of this being when he dodged all of those rocks.
14:41And instinctively knew Roshirudo was going to reflect their attack.
14:46I would say the main reason it was a tie was because of the lack of experience Apollo had in pushing himself.
14:53Which we saw when he could barely control his final spell.
14:57And the fact that Rock seems to have a naturally weaker body than most other Momodo since he is so small.
15:04And those two things can be worked on through training.
15:08Which I can imagine they will be doing in the future.
15:11And then of course seeing Braggor and Sherry's progress I'm not sure if they could win against them either.
15:18At least not yet.
15:20And then finally through Apollo's observations Kyo was able to better understand how Bao works.
15:26Overall a great group of chapters.
15:29I do hope you all enjoyed.
15:31Make sure to like the video and subscribe.
15:34It really helps me out a lot.
15:36And go check out the playlist for the series and the specific character reviews I do for all of the teams.
15:42With all this done, I will see you guys later.
15:46Bye guys!
