If that weren’t enough of a nostalgia hit for you, it was also revealed on Saturday that Zatch Bell would be coming back in a new manga. Series creator Makoto Raiku broke the news on Saturday, announcing it’ll debut in the pages of Shonen Jump in mid-March. The original 2001 manga was about student Kiyo Takamine making friends with the titular Zatch, a lightning-spewing mystical being called a “Mamodo,” and had an anime adaptation (with a weirdly catchy theme song) on Toonami back in 2003.
Toei Animation was also behind the Zatch Bell anime during its three-season, two film run. Right now, there hasn’t been an adaptation announced for the sequel series (obviously), but given the power of nostalgia, don’t be too surprised if that becomes reality in the near future.
