History YMMV / ZatchBell

* CompleteMonster: Zofis. A [[DragonBall Freeza]] {{Expy}} who horribly {{Mind Rape}}d both humans and fellow mamodo, both for practical reasons and ForTheEvulz. He expresses enjoyment in being able to control the hearts of others, and uses the fears of his followers to keep them in line. Completely selfish, petty, and sadistic, he's even referred to as being the worst of the worst by many characters.

* CompleteMonster: Many of the evil demon children. In particular, Zophise horribly {{Mind Rape}}d both humans and fellow mamono, both for practical reasons and ForTheEvulz. Leo and Zeon just barely dodged this status, only thanks to ultimately failing at their attempts to sadistically murder the main cast and blow up Japan [[DisproportionateRetribution just to get back at Kyomaro]] (their [[FreudianExcuse motivations]] were convincing, but in no way actually excusing their behavior). Finally, [[BigBad Clear Note]] was so thoroughly malevolent [[spoiler: that Gash's ultimate spell, which destroyed only what was evil, erased everything that defined his person, leaving only his... soul, or whatever, to reincarnate as a different being.]]
** Other mentions must go to Eshros, who took advantage of his bookkeepers' pain and insecurities, Tia's old friend Maruss, and Grisor from an anime filler arc. Many of the enemy demon's human partners deserve this title too!
** The final chapter, however, casts doubt on how completely monstrous any of these characters (except Clear) really are, as the main characters are shown to have made friends with, or at least tolerated being in the same room long enough to have a photo taken with, all of them. Even ''[[BloodKnight Demolt]]'' showed up, making a peace sign and grinning like an idiot.

* AntiClimax: The revelation of Arth's final spell. It had been hinted at for an arc without actually showing up, with Arth finally using it in his battle against Gorm. He casts it, and ''hundreds upon hundreds of {{BFS}}'s [[RuleOfCool rain from the sky]]''. You'd think Gorm would be screwed, right? Nope. He promptly pulls out ''his'' ultimate spell, which summons as many [[UnrealisticBlackHole black holes]] as Arth has swords, and the black holes suck up the swords like nothing. Arth doesn't last long after this.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Gash becomes the Mamono King. But since the way to the human world is closed. It's possible that Gash and Kiyomaru will never see each other again (made worse by the fact that Gash will most likely outlive Kiyomaru.]]

* AntiClimax: The revelation of Arth's final spell. It had been hinted at for an entire arc without actually showing up, with Arth finally using it in his battle against Gorm. He casts it, and ''hundreds upon hundreds of {{BFS}}'s [[RuleOfCool rain from the sky]]''. You'd think Gorm would be screwed, right? Nope. He promptly pulls out ''his'' ultimate spell, which summons as many [[UnrealisticBlackHole black holes]] as Arth has swords, and the black holes suck up the swords like nothing. Needless to say, Arth doesn't last long after this.

** Gash is noted to have horns on his head when Kiyomaro is forced to wash him after a battle. It is also noted other Mamonos have horns, yet it is never brought up ever again.

* CompleteMonster: Many of the evil demon children. In particular, Zophise horribly [[MindRape Mind Raped]] both humans and fellow mamono, both for practical reasons and ForTheEvulz. Leo and Zeon just barely dodged this status, only thanks to ultimately failing at their attempts to sadistically murder the main cast and blow up Japan [[DisproportionateRetribution just to get back at Kyomaro]] (their [[FreudianExcuse motivations]] were convincing, but in no way actually excusing their behavior). Finally, [[BigBad Clear Note]] was so thoroughly malevolent [[spoiler: that Gash's ultimate spell, which destroyed only what was evil, erased everything that defined his person, leaving only his... soul, or whatever, to reincarnate as an entirely different being.]]
** Other mentions must go to Eshros, who took advantage of his bookkeepers' pain and insecurities, Tia's old friend Maruss, and Grisor from an anime filler arc. Heck, many of the enemy demon's human partners deserve this title too!

** Pretty much a large majority of the battle with Victoreem.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Victoreem, for... well pretty much everything. On top of his generally memetic theme, that utterly batshit song, and general ham, he's voiced by none other then NorioWakamoto. His popularity is lampshaded repeatedly in omakes and even the ending of the manga.

** Dont forget [[BittersweetEnding the ending of the manga.]]

* TheWoobie: There are many. Sherry comes to mind.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Gash is noted to have horns on his head when Kiyomaro is forced to wash him after a battle. It is also noted other Mamonos have horns, yet it is never brought up ever again.

*** This troper recalls that it's HandWaved later with the implication that Momon always could talk, it was just a nervous thing.

** What underdog? They're the main character and love interest.

** F* ck it. The whole frickin' main cast.

** Tia learning a new spell out of anger at a mamono that kept touching her panties.

** Seriously, why isn't this guy a meme already? He has the the potential for 5 memes already!

* BaseBreaker: Victoreem

** In fact, the first five or six episodes have enough crying to drown a whale and hide the city of Atlantis. There's less from there...........sort of.
** Dont forget the ending of the manga one of the few endings to make this troper cry

** Patty's SlapSlapKiss relationship with Gash [[spoiler: before her HeelFaceTurn.]]

* BaseBreaker: Victoream. Some fans believe he's hilarious, others think he's annoying.

* CompleteMonster: Many of the evil demon children. In particular, Zophise horribly [[MindRape Mind Raped]] both humans and fellow mamono, both for practical reasons and ForTheEvulz. Riou and Zeon just barely dodged this status, only thanks to ultimately failing at their attempts to sadistically murder the main cast and blow up Japan [[DisproportionateRetribution just to get back at Kyomaro]] (their [[FreudianExcuse motivations]] were convincing, but in no way actually excusing their behavior). Finally, [[BigBad Clear Note]] was so thoroughly malevolent [[spoiler: that Gash's ultimate spell, which destroyed only what was evil, erased everything that defined his person, leaving only his... soul, or whatever, to reincarnate as an entirely different being.]]

** Seriously, why isn't this guy a meme already? he the the potential for 5 memes already!

* ViewerGenderConfusion: There can't be a single person who knew that Zophise was supposed to be male from the beginning. It doesn't help that his dub voice is [[HeyItsThatVoice noticably similar]] to that of [[XiaolinShowdown Wuya.]]

* IKnewIt : Gash and [[spoiler: Zeon]] being [[spoiler:twins]].
* MissedMomentOfAwesome: That "kind king vs strong king" match Bari promised to Gash? Never happens.

* What about Zatch and Kiyo's battle against Kanchomé and Folgore in KIYO'S BEDROOM? With Suzy sleeping though the entire thing?

* {{Narm}}: It's a bit difficult to take Galza seriously when he's wearing that ridiculous hat.
