History Manga / ZatchBell2

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Beliel makes a point of quickly sending powerful assassins to kill the top ten fighters from the last 100 demon children tournament, but carelessly assigns weak spells to a pair of henchmen he sends after some guy called Barry who had been taken out by a magic wall or something.

* AmusingInjuries: When Kiyomaro is saved from Waig by Mippy and returns to the village he's been taking care of, his face suddenly gets comically disfigured and his hair is disheveled. Hardly the heroic image Zelie was looking for, but he soon regains his composure to look after her and Olmo.

** 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 dissauding Kanchome from abusing the powers of Shin Poruku.

** Gash resurrects both Zelie and Olmo, using them as vessels to take his life energy to Kiyomaro. He also revived as many other demons as he could 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.
** Beliel implies that Waig, Gill and his other henchmen were raised from death to work for him.

** The reason Gash is said to have died in the beginning is because he split his soul between Zelie and Olmo, as well as other unseen demons, to bring them back from death. Gash's "fragments of life" are later brought out of Zelie and Olmo to revive him from a mummified body.

** 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 chair, turning a city into an impregnable fortress of scales. A concerned Kiyomaro immediately points out that Ashuron seems badly wounded too, with out of place spiked scales all over his chest and limbs.

* SealedGoodInACan: The villains have Gash's Baou Zakeruga spell, a massive evil-devouring lightning dragon, imprisoned within a large yet cramped container instead of a bottle like all the other spells they captured.

** 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, seemingly breaks through the wall of fire that was cast around the stadium and is suddenly warped by her spellbook to Tio's side to help protect everyone, casting Saifojio on the child to save him.
* BrickJoke: 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.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Gill still attempts to fight Gash and Kiyomaro after Waig is killed, but is teleported away by Beliel to not waste away any more spell powers. The frustrated boy has the gall to ask Beliel for ''Baou Zakeruga'' of all things to fight the heroes, so the villain forces him to stand down with a powerful hit from an invisible force.

* CasualDangerDialogue: In the middle of an otherwise serious reunion between Tio and Megumi, with hostiles all around, the singer still has time to joke around by tricking Tio to look back at her while [[SandInMyEyes she's denying that she's crying]].

* KillItWithFire: As a last resort against Gash, Gill displays the ability to manipulate demon spells without a spellbook and empowers Waig with several fire abilities, from covering his body in flames to firing bursts of meteors. They go as far as to trap Gash and Kiyomaro within a cage of hellfire, but Gash's cape both defends against it and blows the flames away, securing a winning blow on Waig.

** 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, seemingly breaks through the wall of fire that was cast around the stadium and is suddenly warped by her spellbook to Tio's side to help protect everyone.

* CallBack: The opening page of Volume 1 is a reverse {{bookends}} -- it quotes Gash's promise to Kiyomaro from the final pages of the original series, about how they must become exemplary adults and reunite someday.

* 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 as the battle hits its climax.

** Ziggy uses a bottle containing a Kofaru spell from Cherish, which is easily blocked and reflected when Waig uses Gash's Rashield. ''Of course,'' Rashield, the poster child for this trope, works like a charm when it's a bad guy using it... but Gash himself doesn't disappoint and shows his mastery over Rashield by casting it over long distances at a high power output without the need for Zaguruzemu! Even when Rashield ''does'' get broken for dramatic effect, Gash seems way more skilled at evading or using his cape for additional protection than in the original series.

* 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 she also repeatedly tries convincing the show's staff to let her and Pola enter the show. Every time they're naturally driven away, the Witch sits by a flight of stairs and mopes in despair.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Witch sets a magic circle around the building that Megumi is performing in to prevent the Vermillion Spellbook from reaching it, but she also repeatedly tries convincing the show's staff to let her and Pola enter the show. Every time they're naturally driven away, the Witch sits by a flight of stairs and mopes in despair.

* EvilGloating: As Gash blocks and deflects the weapons on Waig's multiple arms, he asks what was the need to attack an ''orphanage'' with such power. Waig replies he had a blast terrorizing all the children and killing those who were protecting them. He then rubs it in by declaring Gash's own Rashield was key in defeating Rein and Ted, who could still fight and injure him while depowered.

* {{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 the aforementioned character is Kanchome's ''older brother'' and also changed his name to "Hansode".

->''"When we meet again, we'll grow into adults able to meet each other with our heads held high. It's a promise, Kiyomaro."''

* 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.

* CarFu: While trying to keep Gozer from attacking a bunch of civilians in a hospital, Folgore keeps shouting at them to crash a car into the beast but [[AvertedTrope nobody cares to even try to do it]].
