List of episodes

The third and final season, known as level 3[1] of the Zatch Bell! anime, was directed by Tetsuji Nakamura and Yukio Kaizawa and produced by Toei Animation. The series, known as Konjiki no Gash Bell!! (金色のガッシュベル!!, lit. "Golden Gash Bell!!) in Japan, aired on Fuji TV in Japan.[2] The program is based on Makoto Raiku's Konjiki no Gash!! (金色のガッシュ!!, lit. Golden Gash!!) manga series. The third season adapts the 18th through 22nd volumes of the manga and begins to follow an original storyline. The plot follows Kiyo Takamine and his Mamodo (魔物, Mamono, lit. "demon") partner Zatch Bell's journey to stop a giant Mamodo named Faudo from being released.

The season began on April 3, 2005, in Japan on Fuji TV, and ended on March 26, 2006.[3] The English adaptation of Konjiki no Gash Bell!! is licensed by Viz Media, and aired on Cartoon Network and the Canadian television network YTV.[4][5] The episodes were collected into seventeen DVD compilations by Shogakukan and released between July 7, 2006, and March 7, 2007.[1][6] The dubbed episodes of Zatch Bell! were discontinued from airing on Cartoon Network after episode 77 on January 20, 2007,[7] while the Canadian YTV station discontinued the series after episode 104,[8] leaving the rest of the series exclusive to Japan. The reason for the cancellation is unclear.[citation needed]

The episodes use four different pieces of theme music: one opening theme and two closing themes are used in the original Japanese episodes, while one theme is used for the opening and ending in the dubbed episodes. The Japanese opening theme is "Mienai Tsubasa" (見えない翼, lit. "Invisible Wings") by Takayoshi Tanimoto.[9] The first Japanese ending theme was "Kyou yori Ashita wa" (今日より明日は, lit. "Tomorrow will be better than today") by Echiura, which was used until episode 125.[9] The second Japanese ending theme is "★Aso Fever 2005★" (★遊Fever 2005★, lit. "★Play Fever 2005★") by Tomoe Shinohara until episode 149.[10] The final episode uses "Kasabuta" (カサブタ, lit. "Scab") by Hidenori Chiwata as its ending theme.[11] The English opening theme is "Follow the Light", and the ending theme is "Zatch Bell! Theme" by Thorsten Laewe and Greg Prestopino.[12]
