History Manga / ZatchBell2

** Tia has grown into something of an AmazonianBeauty. She is rather tall and muscular and is re-introduced to the story lifting weights bigger than she is.

* SheIsAllGrownUp: Adult Tia has grown much taller and buffer since her last appearance.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Even after the demons are robbed of their spells, Ashuron manages to turn his homeland into a fortress of scales, and Gorm handles teleportation of airships from a pocket dimension to help everyone. They worry that even such innate abilities might be taken away, though. And then there's Barry, who easily beats a duo of assassins with his bare hands and is the first to inform the good guys about the identity of the invaders.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Witch prepares a magic barrier of fire around the building that Megumi is performing in to prevent the Vermillion Spellbook from reaching it, but unlike Consomme in a previous chapter, she cannot visit the show to attack Megumi no matter how much she asks the ticket sellers and security officers.

* HeightAngst: Gash is an adult in this series but is shorter than Kiyomaro was as a teen. He explains demons mature at different rates and laments how his brother Zeon has grown much taller than him. [[JustifiedTrope The reason for this is probably because, as the Demon King, Gash has a much longer lifespan than others and the rate of his maturity was slowed as a result.]] [[note]]Patty explained in Gash Café 7 that a demon's lifespan varies from 100, 500, and 700 years, while the Demon King and anyone they choose can live over 1000 years.[[/note]]

* BigDamnHeroes:

* CurbStompBattle: Despite only having the first spell Zakeru, Kiyomaru and Gash run circles around Waig the moment they’re back together. Even when Waig tries using Zakeruga against them, Gash’s Zakeru, which is one level below Zakeruga, easily overpowers it. It doesn’t take long for Kiyomaru and Gash to steal back the vial containing Gash’s Rashield and Zakeruga and when they have them, the battle becomes even easier for the two. Gill then tries to help Waig by empowering the monster with high-level fire spells, but the two are out-maneuvered anyway until Gash destroys Waig's weak point.

* GratuitousItalian: Folgore speaks in his mother tongue in certain scenes, such as shouting "Nuova pagina!! Nuovo incantesimo!!" (A new page!! A new spell!!) upon reacquiring his spellbook. That particular scene was also misspelled as "nuova" in both sentences, even though "incantesimo" is a male noun.

* HeightAngst: Gash as seen in this series is an adult but is shorter than Kiyomaro was as a teen. He explains demons mature at different rates and laments how his brother Zeon has grown much taller than him. [[JustifiedTrope The reason for this is probably because, as the Demon King, Gash has a much longer lifespan than others and the rate of his maturity was slowed as a result.]] [[note]]Patty explained in Gash Café 7 that a demon's lifespan varies from 100, 500, and 700 years, while the Demon King and anyone they choose can live over 1000 years.[[/note]]

** The Egyptian citizens in the beginning of the story barely notice the battle between Kiyomaro and transformed Waig.
** Averted by the battle between Kanchome and Levy Zinc in Italy. The civilians actually try to help Folgore and there's enough turmoil for the police to be alerted. They all just poof out of reality once Gash arrives and solves the incident, though.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Kanchome's recollection of escaping from the demon world with Consomme reveals there were skyscraper-sized monsters tearing the whole place apart, on top of the giant dragon who stole everyone's spells.
* AudienceSurrogate: The story dramatizes the reunions between the bookkeepers and their grown-up demon partners for all their worth, as readers who come back to the series after the 14 years between installments are as happy to see Gash and Kanchome again as are Kiyomaro and Folgore.

** Kanchome heavily injures the assassins sent after him by tricking them into the path of a train. The human of the pair has a long-winded monologue about what Kanchome just did, how much the train weighed and how fast it was going... [[SubvertedTrope just to say it hurts a lot]], not actually bothering to calculate how much force they were just hit with.

** Folgore saves Kanchome from being devoured by a demonic hound in a most ludicrously badass fashion, pulling its spell-boosted jaws wide open while once again boasting being a [[AngryAngryHippos hippo-man]] and a protector of children.
** When Folgore is cornered by two beasts summoned by Levy, the Yellow Spellbook answers Kanchome's desire to fight and appears before them to allow the duo to put up a proper fight against the villains.
** When Kanchome beats Levy and makes peace by giving Gozer and Hyros back to her, a militarized police squad attempts to kill them all. Luckily, Gash and Kiyomaro arrive on the scene and cast Rashield to deflect all the bullets away.

** Kanchome is said to have been the first to flee from the alien invasion, but he is spurred by his family into doing so to protect his little brother Consomme and make it to Folgore. He still has a bottle with his Poruku spell and manages to trick his pursuers into getting hit by a train, only being outplayed because they possess Saifojio, Tio's healing spell.
** Folgore swerves between being terrified of facing another demonic war with none of Kanchome's powerful illusionary spells and being highly courageous and reliable, readily throwing himself in the way of danger to protect Kanchome and any nearby civilians.

* DeusExitMachina: When Gash and Kiyomaro are alerted at night that Megumi is in danger, Kanchome and Folgore are both in something of a plot-induced coma and don't wake up no matter how much Gash shakes them. This forces the main duo to deal with the situation on their own, and ensures the spotlight will be focused on Tio and Megumi when the time for their reunion comes.

* FailedAttemptAtDrama: When Levy asks Folgore who he is after he slams one of her beasts onto the ground, Folgore declares himself "the hero of Italy" but can barely hide the muscular pain he feels from suddenly exerting so much effort. Kanchome also boastfully introduces himself... while collapsed on the floor. Levy [[TheComicallySerious still takes them seriously]], introduces herself and points at her partner... who is also splattered on the ground. After being healed, said partner proudly introduces himself as [[UnfortunateName "Bristly Prickly Nosehair Boo"]]. Both Folgore and Kanchome can't help but laugh at him.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Curiously, the early chapters dance around the issue of whether or not Kiyomaro still has his Answer-Talker power. His evasion skills and accomplishments as a young archeologist point to him having it, but he does not display the associated ringed eyes. He and Gash rescuing Folgore and Kanchome in Italy is explained as them coincidentally coming across Consomme and tracking Folgore by the GPS of his manager.

** Kanchome uses himself as bait to lure his pursuers away from Consomme and runs as far as he can from Folgore's house, expecting to die as he only has a few uses of Poruku left to try to hide or trap his enemies. When he's cornered and on the brink of death, Folgore arrives to rescue him.
** When Levy is defeated, and it is clear that Kanchome means no harm to her anymore, Nosehair Boo sacrifices his life to the Doruku spell, and his body is consumed by it in her place.

* HowDoIShotWeb: After unlocking a spell that turns himself into a giant WaddlingHead, Kanchome has to figure out what it actually does. So he ends up swallowing Gozer and realizes he can turn enemies into his clones by munching them; and then instinctively moves his arms to command the beasts he has infected.

* InstantExpert: Kanchome uses his Mo Poruku spell to transform and control both Gozer and Hyros, but Nosehair Boo doubts the duck-boy can manipulate the physiology of two entirely different creatures with any effectiveness. And yet, Kanchome subdues Levy effortlessly with the two beasts, boasting that as the one who mastered the ultimate mind control spell, Shin Poruku, it is a piece of cake to him.

** Kanchome grew taller than Gash but is also as baby-faced as before. He had been leading a normal life with his family before the invasion of the demon world.

** Folgore reunites with Kanchome by saving him while calling himself a hippo who protects children, calling back to one of his last scenes in the original series, where he once declared himself that while dissuading Kanchome from abusing the powers of Shin Poruku.

* MyBrainIsBig: The visual gag behind Mo Poruku turning Kanchome into a giant WaddlingHead is that he needs a big brain in order to manipulate multiple kinds of different lifeforms simultaneously.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: As established in the first series, the demons awaken spells according to their needs and personal growth. When Kanchome becomes ready to fight and summons his Yellow Spellbook, it comes with the new Mo Poroku spell. It can be used to transform enemies into clones of Kanchome piece-by-piece to disrupt their movements and this also conveniently prevents Levy from retracting her beasts back to her hair.

** It's hard not to see adult Kanchome as just a long baby, too, since his face looks the exact same as it always did.

* PapaWolf: Folgore learns that his outworldly surrogate duck son whom he hasn't seen in years sent his little brother to him while planning to sacrifice his own life to not let them be found by their enemies. The pop star wastes no time in channeling his inner hippo, locating Kanchome and saving him.

* PokemonSpeak: Kanchomé shouts his own name to stretch his beak while in Mo Poroku mode and swallow enemies. Once spat out, his victims become more and more transformed into his likeness while also babbling nothing but the word "Kanchome".
* PoliceAreUseless: It is only when Kanchome has finally beaten Levy and is in the middle of talking things out with her that a heavily armed police squad arrives and starts shooting at Gozer and Hyros, almost killing them and risking both Kanchome and Folgore's lives as well. They only fail because Gash and Kiyomaro show up and defend everyone with Rashield.

** The control over beasts given by Kanchome's Mo Poruku spell and his hand gestures as he uses it are based on Tarouza, the protagonist from ''Manga/AnimalLand''.

* {{Retcon}}: The ''Gash Bell'' 20th anniversary book had Raiku stating that the duck-man seen taking Kanchome to school in the ending of the original series was his ''father'' and that his name was "Tiger". In this sequel, we're shown a family photo where said man is standing next to Kanchome while there's an older man sitting next to Kanchome's mother. Raiku then [[https://twitter.com/TheFourthSpell/status/1644969478978150405 quietly altered]] the anniversary book to say "Tiger" is Kanchome's ''older brother'' and also changed his name to "Hansode".

* SkewedPriorities: The early villains are shown or said to waste time sightseeing on modern Earth when Beliel sends them after the heroes. Gash, on the other hand, is in a hurry to take Kiyomaro with him to the Demon World but is prevented from doing so by the spellbooks, who apparently want him to ensure the safety of Kanchome, Tio, and their partners first.

* SweetTooth: Folgore is shown a picture of Kanchome ''and'' his entire family stuffing themselves with sweets.

** Upon starting their new journey, Kiyomaro asks Gash if there are any living demons they can meet as soon as possible. Gash replies there is one -- the first who fled from the war. Cue a baffled Kiyomaro muttering ''"Kanchome"'' under his breath.
** When Folgore learns that Kanchome lost every spell they ever learned he starts sweating buckets, not that it stops him from confronting Levy and her summoned beasts on his own.

** Kanchome is spoken of like he's still a coward when in truth he, with only a few uses of a Poruku bottle left, manages to nearly kill the team that pursues him by tricking them into the path of a train and stands his ground until Folgore arrives to save him. They're both serious and determined about taking on the whole freaking world by themselves to save Kanchome's homeland -- an astronomical difference from how pathetic the two goofballs were all the way back when they tried to ambush Gash and Kiyomaro at their house.

* UncannyValley: Adult Kanchome has the appearance of his unchanged baby face plastered on top of a very tall and lanky body. This makes him look ridiculous even to Folgore, and yet it is ''precisely'' what an adult Kanchome should look like. Furthermore, he gets an spell that inflicts BodyHorror on his enemies by ''transforming them into his clones'' one body part at a time!

** Kanchome fled from the demon world with only his brother Consomme and has no idea of what happened to his parents or his older brother, though he seems to believe they're already dead.

** Kiyomaro is rather disappointed to hear that he and Gash are first going to look for Kanchome, who's "the first who ran away from the war". Then Kanchome is revealed to have fled to protect his younger brother, and he defeats both Levy and Nosehair Boo with Folgore's support before Kiyomaro and Gash arrive to help them.

* VillainsOutShopping: The various henchmen sent into Earth to kill the heroes have just been brought back from death, so they get distracted with enjoying the sights of modern society while they can. Gill wastes time driving a bike around Egypt and purchasing silly merchandise. Nosehair Boo scolds him in a side chapter, only to be forced to admit he and Levy also spent time in a zoo instead of hunting Kanchome. Then when the Witch fails to access the stadium where Megumi is performing, she looks more upset that everyone but her is able to enjoy the show, and vents her depression by writing a poem:

* TheVirus: Kanchome's initial spell in the story, Mo Poroku, turns him into a giant Franchise/{{Kirby}}-like WaddlingHead. He can chomp his enemies and spit them back out with parts of their bodies transformed into his own appearance, compromising their ability to fight. Furthermore, he can impose his will on those he infects and make use of the traits he ''hasn't'' converted, such as making Hyros fly him out of Levy's reach.
* WaddlingHead: Once the Yellow Spellbook arrives to help Kanchome and Folgore against Levy, Kanchome learns the Mo Poroku spell which transforms himself into a giant head with arms and feet.

* BlackComedy: In Brago's introductory scene, he explodes Zillion's arm and effortlessly decapitates him, only pausing right before to ask Sherry to stop being flabbergasted and force the villain to his knees for him. As Kiyomaro watches the severed head flying into orbit, he asks himself what even was the point of the spells.

* HeightAngst: Gash as seen in this series is an adult but is shorter than Kiyomaro was as a teen. He explains demons mature at different rates and laments how his brother Zeon has grown much taller than him. [[JustifiedTrope The reason for this is probably because, as the Demon King, Gash has a much longer lifespan than others.]] [[note]]Patty explained in Gash Café 7 demons usually live up to 100 to 700 years, while the Demon King can give anyone he chooses a lifespan of over 1000 years.[[/note]]

* HeightAngst: Gash as seen in this series is an adult but is shorter than Kiyomaro was as a teen. He explains demons mature at different rates and laments how his brother Zeon has grown much taller than him.

** Averted by the battle between Kanchome and Levy Zinc in Italy. The civilians actually try to help Folgore and there's enough turmoil for the police to be alerted.

* OrwellianRetcon: Raiku published chapter 17 after a week-long delay only to immediately announce that he would remake the latter half of the chapter out of personal dissatisfaction and update it in two weeks.

* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Sherry Belmont's first appearance at the end of Chapter 16: she praises her sons and daughter for their excellent performances and says that they never cease to make her proud, a staunch difference from how Sherry's mother never saw her as good enough no matter what she did. And while she still encourages them to push themselves, she also tells them it's OK to stop if they need to.

* BadassNormal: Albeit via BroughtDownToNormal after being stripped of his spells. Yet Vincent Bari remains powerful enough to curb-stomp a BloodKnight in Beliel's employ who's armed with spells in a briefcase.

** Tio does her damnedest to protect a group of townsfolk from the invaders but is reduced to helplessly trying to cast Saifojio on a child that had been mortally wounded. Megumi, who was just performing at a concert with only a gut feeling of what was happening, breaks through the wall of fire that was cast around the stadium and is warped by her spellbook to Tio's side to help protect everyone, casting Saifojio on the child to save him. Gash and Kiyomaro are soon warped by their spellbook to help too, since Tio still lacked any attack spells to fight back with.

* TheCameo: Out of all characters, Hige (Zoboron's former partner) makes a brief appearance in Egypt working at the village Kiyomaro was living in. Kiyomaro doesn't have the faintest memory of who he is.

* ChekhovsGun: The paper with a scribble of Kiyomaro that Ziggy hands out to Zelie are actually the first page of Gash's spellbook. It allows Kiyomaro to summon Gash from a mummified body hidden inside a temple and cast Zakeru at Waig.
* TheChosenMany: Kiyomaro manages to bring life into 27 spellbooks and is asked by Ashuron to gather all the people chosen by them as soon as possible.

* VillainsOutShopping: The various henchmen sent into Earth to kill the heroes have just been brought back from death, so they get distracted with enjoying the sights of modern society while they can. Gill wastes time driving a bike around Egypt and purchasing silly merchandise. Nosehair Boo scolds him in a side chapter, only to be forced to admit he and Levy also spent time in a zoo instead of hunting Kanchome. Then when the Witch fails to access the stadium where Megumi is performing, she looks more upset that everyone but her is able to enjoy the show.

** Gash resurrects both Zelie and Olmo, using them as vessels to take his life energy to Kiyomaro. He also preserved the souls of 10 million other demons with this ability and [[HeroicSacrifice apparently died]] from the process. Gash is then revived from a mummified body, and notes that it isn't his true body even though it seems to work just fine.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Ted, Cherish, and Rein are seen lying dead after being defeated by the new villains. Gash is also said to have been killed off somehow, but then it's explained that he sacrificed his life force to revive several demons, which likely include the aforementioned three. Kiyomaro then revives Gash at the end of chapter 4.

** Brago is one of the demons who got killed somehow during the war, but Apollo brings his sarcophagus to Sherry in the end of chapter 17.

** Tio does her damndest to protect a group of townsfolk from the invaders but is reduced to helplessly trying to cast Saifojio on a child that had been mortally wounded. Megumi, who was just performing at a concert with only a gut feeling of what was happening, breaks through the wall of fire that was cast around the stadium and is warped by her spellbook to Tio's side to help protect everyone, casting Saifojio on the child to save him. Gash and Kiyomaro are soon warped by their spellbook to help too, since Tio still lacked any attack spells to fight back with.
** Sherry is about to get killed by a bunch of monsters when she hears the voice of the reportedly dead Brago calling out to her. She runs outside and finds Apollo arriving in an helicopter to deliver a sarcophagus with a backup body for Brago inside.
* BigGood: While Gash is the protagonist, king to the demons, and up-and-coming HopeBringer, Ashuron is shown to be a very important leader in the war for the demon world. He turns the city of the Dragon Clan into a fortress to protect survivors at the cost of his own health and tasks the king with gathering all the bookkeepers so they can properly combat the invaders.
* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Sherry Belmont's first appearance at the end of Chapter 16: she praises her son and daughter for their excellent performances and says that they never cease to make her proud, a staunch difference from how Sherry's mother never saw her as good enough no matter what she did.

** Folgore fends off Gozer while repeatedly asking people to hit the beast with a car or something. After Levy transforms into a giant monster, somebody does hit her with an ambulance but is unfortunately wrecked for his troubles.
** The Witch sits by a set of stairs twice with a depressed look on her face twice when she's denied from entering the stadium Megumi is performing on. Later, Gash and Kiyomaro leave The Witch and Pola in the dust by warping into the Demon World to help Tio and Megumi, so then a disgruntled Pola joins her at the stairs.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Waig fights Gash and Kiyomaro to the bitter end by empowering himself with many fire spells, including one that boosts his strength with self-immolation, which would cause him to die in just 45 seconds. Gash and Kiyomaro still manage to mortally wound him in less than that.

** Prince Pola spends his battle with Gash demoralizing him for failing to save his kingdom and bragging about how Tio is under attack as he and Kiyomaro are unable to bring the Vermillion Spellbook to Megumi.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Curiously averted with Kiyomaro as of the first volume. He lacks the signature ringed eyes that Answer-Talker users and other paranormal characters in the series have even though all his actions point to him having diligently trained that ability in the interim between the original series and this sequel.
* ExperiencedProtagonist: Even before reuniting with Gash, Kiyomaro shows that he hasn't missed a beat in the years since the last series, and is able to run circles around Waig with little more than his wits and a pickax. The only thing that catches him off-guard is [[DidntSeeThatComing Waig and Gill using Gash's own spells against him.]]

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Curiously, the early chapters dance around the issue of whether or not Kiyomaro still has his Answer-Talker power. His evasion skills and accomplishments as a young archeologist point to him having it, but he does not display the associated ringed eyes. Him and Gash rescuing Folgore and Kanchome at Italy is explained as them coincidentally coming across Consomme and tracking Folgore by the GPS of his manager, when Kiyomaro could've simply asked himself about Folgore's location and subconsciously realized the answer.

** Sherry became a proud mother to two boys named Nicolas and Jean and a girl named Flora... but she's stuck in a loveless marriage to an unfaithful businessman just to preserve her family's status as nobles. And then monstrous assassins attempt to kidnap her children.

* HopeBringer: Before sacrificing himself, Ziggy asks Zelie to seek out Kiyomaro, "the King's partner who can create hope out of despair".

** Gash looks like a teenager but is actually a 19 year old adult. Over the years, Gash has become [[TheGoodKing a responsible and beloved king]] to the demon world and is determined to save it from the alien invaders.

* MercyKill: Gash is instructed by his father Dauwan to fight and kill Beliel's undead henchmen without hesitation or remorse, with the former king stating the best they can do is put them to rest for good.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Waig and Gill are threatening villains with a laid-back and goofy side to them. The latter is the one with a more cold and calculated personality, but while hunting Zelie and Olmo he wastes time sightseeing in Egypt and even picks up a silly pyramid hat. Then Gill drives a motorcycle ''[[DrivesLikeCrazy right off a cliff]]'' in their pursuit of Kiyomaro and Zahara who were descending into a cave hidden on its side, to Waig's exasperation and the heroes' complete confusion.

* SkewedPriorities: The early villains are shown or said to waste time sightseeing on modern Earth when Beliel sends them after the heroes. Gash, on the other hand, is in a hurry to take Kiyomaro with him to the Demon World but is prevented from doing so by the spellbooks, who apparently want him to ensure the safety of Kanchome, Tio and their partners first.

** As seen in the epilogue of the first series, Gash learned to perform his spells without losing consciousness, allowing him to follow Kiyomaro's directions much more effectively. Once he regains control over Rashield, he shows he can summon the electrified wall anywhere he points to and it starts out fortified without the need to boost it with Zaguruzemu.

* TranquilFury: The whole time Gash fights Waig and Gill he remains composed and doesn't even glare at them with his signature sparkly eyes but is clearly seething with anger for how their kind massacred his people. He bothers asking why Waig would demolish an orphanage and thinks back to all the civilian corpses he saw scattered during the incident to motivate himself as the battle hits its climax.

** Kiyomaro is rather disappointed to hear that he and Gash are first going to look for Kanchome, who's "the first who ran away from the war". Then Kanchome is revealed to have fled to protect his younger brother and he defeats both Levy and Nosehair Boo with Folgore's support before Kiyomaro and Gash arrive to help them.

** Even a sentient and extremely powerful spell like Baou Zakeruga was stolen by the villains. It is seen held captive in what's basically a giant fishbowl.

* BreakingTheCycleOfBadParenting: Sherry Belmont's first appearance at the end of Chapter 16: she praises her son and daughter for their excellent performances and says that they never cease to make her proud, a staunch difference from how Sherry's mother never saw her as good enough no matter what she did. Though there's one other boy with them who doesn't speak or smile, and Sherry doesn't seem to acknowledge him; it may be that he's just a valet or something, but...

* HappyEndingOverride: Previously, Gash and Kiyomaro saved their home worlds and parted ways after Gash was declared the new king, hoping to eventually meet again in "a bigger way than saving the world". This sequel starts with the Demon Kingdom in ruins, Gash being presumed dead, and Kiyomaro unable to do much against the new antagonists on his own.

** Averted by the battle between Kanchome and Levy Zinc at Italy. The civilians actually try to help Folgore and there's enough turmoil for the police to be alerted.

* BigGood: While Gash is the protagonist, king to the demons and up-and-coming HopeBringer, Ashuron is shown to be a very important leader in the war for the demon world. He turns the city of the Dragon Clan into a fortress to protect survivors at the cost of his own health and tasks the king with gathering all the bookkepers so they can properly combat the invaders.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Even after the demons are robbed of their spells, Ashuron manages to turn his homeland into a fortress of scales and Gorm handles teleportation of airships from a pocket dimension to help everyone. They worry that even such innate abilities might be taken away, though. And then there's Barry, who easily beats a duo of assassins with his bare hands and is the first to inform the good guys about the identity of the invaders.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Waig fights Gash and Kiyomaro to the bitter end by empowering himself with many fire spells including one that boosts his strength with self-immolation, which would cause him to die in just 45 seconds. Gash and Kiyomaro still manage to mortally wound him in less than that.

* DramaticIrony: Beliel sets a priority for the assassination of the 10 top fighters of the last demon children war. This happens to include Papipurio and Lupa, who only made it that far due to Lupa being overprotective and evading as much conflict as she could. Also, Clear Note has been sealed into a harmless form and Beliel is largely ignorant of other major threats such as Bari, who only didn't make it to a top rank because he sacrificed himself to let Gash pass under a magical barrier.

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Kiyomaro's great athleticism, combat experience and his Answer Talker precognition ability let him face a giant monster like Waig with no fear. He brings a pickaxe for their second fight and actually dishes out damage with a well-aimed stab to the face.

* ExperiencedProtagonist: Even before reuniting with Gash, Kiyomaro shows that he hasn't missed a beat in the years since the last series, and is able circles around Waig with little more than his wits and a pickax. The only thing that catches him off-guard is [[DidntSeeThatComing Waig and Gill using Gash's own spells against him.]]

* GracefulLoser: Waig fights Kiyomaro and Gash with abilities that would burn himself to death in less than a minute. When it doesn't take and the heroes are about to lethally shoot through his weakness, he [[WorthyOpponent silently expresses admiration for Kiyomaro's courage]] and bids farewell to Gill.

* GratuitousItalian: Folgore speaks in his mother tongue in certain scenes, such as shouting "Nuova pagina!! Nuovo incantesimo!!" (A new page!! A new spell!!) upon reacquiring his spellbook. That particular scene was also misspelled as "nuova" in both sentences even though "incantesimo" is a male noun.
* HappyEndingOverride: Previously, Gash and Kiyomaro saved their home worlds and parted ways after Gash was declared the new king, hoping to eventually meet again in "a bigger way than saving the world". This sequel starts with the Demon Kingdom in ruins, Gash being presumed dead and Kiyomaro unable to do much against the new antagonists on his own.

** When Levy is defeated and it is clear that Kanchome means no harm to her anymore, Nosehair Boo sacrifices his life to the Doruku spell and his body is consumed by it in her place.

* LegendaryInTheSequel: Kiyomaro is considered a great hero by demonkind due to his and Gash's feats throughout the 100 demon children tournament. To mankind, he is a world-famous professor who's been discovering many archaeological sites, presumably thanks to his Answer-Talker superpower.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: While deprived of her shield and barrier spells, Tio protects villagers and fights the invaders at the same time by wielding with huge shields on chains.

** The last thing Tio did in the demon children war was entrusting Gash with their "tomorrow". When she's reintroduced in this sequel, she proclaims to the people around her that she'll protect everyone's tomorrow.

** Kiyomaro is an interesting example, as in the first series he was around 14 years old but was drawn tall and mature like he was in his late teens. As an adult, his appearance has barely changed and Gash is two heads shorter than him.
** Gash turns out to be even shorter than he appears considering his ''actual'' age -- Kiyomaro expects him to be 14 years-old but the boy is already ''19''!
** It's hard not to see adult Kanchome as just a long baby too, since his face looks the exact same as it always did.

* PeoplePuppets: Kanchome can use Mo Poruku to control the bodies of those he has transformed.
* PokemonSpeak: Kanchome shouts his own name to stretch his beak while in Mo Poroku mode and swallow enemies. Once spat out, his victims become more and more transformed into his likeness while also babbling nothing but the word "Kanchome".

* RightBehindMe: When Tio gives Megumi the news that Gash sacrificed himself to prevent the extinction of their race, Megumi points at the blonde man in a blue cape who's suddenly appeared right ahead of them. Tio is left speechless as Gash and Kiyomaro greet them and assure the nearby villagers that everything will be fine.

** The dragon Ashuron is one of the strongest good guys in the series, particularly now that he's larger than ever before... but he's found stuck to a throne, turning his homeland into an impregnable fortress of scales. It's pointed out that he won't last another year if this keeps up.

** In the previous series, Clear Note transformed into a massive monster who tried to destroy Earth from space. It took Gash awakening the [[EleventhHourSuperpower Golden Book]] through sheer determination to summon all the defeated contestants, take the fight to Clear Note and overwhelm him. In this series, the invaders ''start out'' deploying a ''whole squad'' of giant monsters like that and among those is a dragon that renders all the demons powerless.

* SpoilerCover: The volume 1 cover as seen above immediately shows what adult Gash looks like when in the story itself he only makes his dramatic appearance in chapter 4. It also shows a cutefied young version of Baou Zakeruga. At the time the cover was revealed, this version of Gash's ultimate spell hadn't even shown up in the story. In fact, even the ''original'' Baou was still missing in action at the time!
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Ted, Cherish and Rein are seen lying dead after being defeated by the new villains. Gash is also said to have been killed off somehow, but then it's explained that he sacrificed his life force to revive several demons, which likely include the aforementioned three. Kiyomaro then revives Gash at the end of chapter 4.

* MercyKill: Gash is instructed by his father Dauwan to fight and kill Beliel's undead henchmen without hesitation or remorse, stating the best they can do is put them to rest for good.

* VillainsOutShopping: The various villains sent into Earth to kill the heroes are just as interested in simply enjoying the sights. Gill wastes time driving a bike around Egypt and purchasing silly merchandise. Nosehair Boo scolds him in a side chapter, only to be forced to admit he and Levy also spent time in a zoo instead of hunting Kanchome. Then when the Witch fails to access the stadium where Megumi is performing, she looks more upset that everyone but her is able to enjoy the show.
