Synopsis
In the series Zatch Bell!, a disinterested teenage boy named Takamine Kiyomaro suddenly becomes the caretaker of a small demon named Gash Bell. Unbeknownst to Kiyomaro, Gash is involved in a contest to decide who will rule the demon world. Each demon must find a human companion on Earth and compete against other demons until a single winner is left. Kiyomaro ends up as Gash's designated partner, and through their many fights together, he learns the importance of friendship and courage.
Background
The English release of the series under the name Zatch Bell! was edited, removing things like blood and nudity with Gash (Zatch in the English version) wearing boxers instead of being fully naked. The uncut Japanese version of the series has never seen an official English release. VIZ Media licensed and dubbed the first 104 episodes of Konjiki no Gash Bell!! under the name Zatch Bell!, but only released the first 52 episodes on DVD. In December 2013, Flatiron Film Company later released the first 104 episodes on DVD.
