1. Introduction
===============
"Konjiki no Gash" was a Manga series originally done by Raiku Makoto
which started back in May 2001 and is now being published by Shounen Web
Sunday Comics. After gaining popularity, it now has its own fair share of
merchandise along with an Anime series that started back in April 2003.
Main character Takamine Kiyoumaro is a junior high student and a genius.
One day, a Mamono Child appears before him from the Demon World and
now he must fight with a hundred other of these things so that he can take
the position as the ruler of the Demon World. With the use of his
spellbook, he must battle it out with others like himself and learn from
his experiences so that he may become a kind ruler.
This is basically a beat-em-up game except instead of your usual one
character, you control two! Your human character and his/her Mamono Child.
Together, they can team up to attack with powerful specials as the human
character chants or, they can do the usual kicking and punching. I haven't
actually watched the Anime or read the Manga so, I have no idea what the
story is about apart from what I read from the sites!
Developer: Banpresto
Release Date: 12th Dec 2003
Price: 4800 Yen

Gash's Collection
-----------------
View the items you collect from playing through the game here. If
an item unlocks anything then, pressing A on an item will tell what it
unlocks.
=====================
5. Characters & Moves
=====================
Here's a list of the characters you can play in VS Mode, their moves and
how to unlock them. The way you do moves pretty much all the same but, I'll
just list them anyway with their names. There's a total of 12 characters
you can unlock including Barto but I don't know how to unlock him yet...
The specials require so much of your special bar to be full before you can
execute them. The first one 'R', only requires your bar to be green but
you can also hold R to charge up your special attack. After that, the
following two specials require a blue bar and the ultimate, using
the most power, requires a full flashing yellow bar.
Pressing L will allow your Mamono to fight for you by its own free will but
will wear down your special bar. You can still use R to tell it when
to do a special attack. While your Mamono is free, the character carrying
the book can also go ahead to attack the other owner.
You'll find the order of the characters here as on the character select
screen from left to right, row after row.

****** HIDDEN CHARACTERS ******
There's been A LOT of discussion on Japanese sites about how to unlock
the following hidden characters and who the last hidden character is.
Some people say it's the silhouette of Rauzaruku Gash who can be obtained
by getting a 27th item, the Glowing Red Book. No one's managed to figure
out the exact way of unlocking the last character yet from the looks of
things.
If you want to get through Challenge Mode quick, you can set the number of
wins in options to 1.
Brago & Berserk Sherie
----------------------
Defeat them twice in Challenge Mode on normal or hard with Gash. You can
find their translated dialogue in the "Story Mode" section of this guide.
Moves are just the same as normal Sherie from above.
Zeon & Dufour
-------------
Have 15 items (approx. 58%) in your collection and defeat Challenge Mode
winning ALL rounds with a KO using Gash. It seems Zeon can appear with
other characters too so you may not have to use Gash only.
Refer to "Story Mode" to view the dialogue.
Umagon & Raiku Sensei
---------------------
There's 3 things you must to do unlock this duo. First you must have
the Umagon Toy. Once you have that, the time limit MUST be set to 60
seconds and then you must beat ALL opponents after the time runs out
in Challenge Mode using Gash.
Refer to "Story Mode" to view the dialogue.
??? & ???
---------
No one seems to know how to unlock this duo yet. This should be in the next
update once I find out.
==============
6. Mini Games
==============
There are a total of 4 mini games to unlock and you gain the next
difficulty level after beating the high score. There are 3 levels of
difficulty:
Easy (Kiyomaro) / Normal (Happy Gash) / Hard (Crying Gash)
You can also skip instructions using Start.
Naomi-chan's Attack!!
---------------------
Hit A or B as quick as you can to get away from Naomi! You unlock this
after defeating Sherie in Story Mode and have to play this mini game. It's
best if you don't use auto-fire if you want to obtain item 7 (see Gash's
Collection).
I Wonder If I Can Make A Vulcan?
--------------------------------
Hit the buttons that appear on the screen as quickly as you can before time
runs out. Hit the wrong button and you'll get time taken off! Unlock this
after obtaining Vulcan 300.
Umagon's Laugh!!
----------------
Kiyamaro will put his hand towards Umagon. Use the A or B button and time
it so that you bite onto his hand when it's close enough. Be careful
though since you only have 3 tries at biting his hand. Once you have
his hand, hit A or B as fast as you can to bite Kiyomaro as many times as
you can in 15 seconds. You have to bite quickly after getting a hold of his
hand or he'll just get away again.
Unlock this after beating Challenge in VS Mode.
00F, Folgore of Steel
---------------------
Hit the buttons that appear at the bottom of the screen. Time it so that
the button is as near the middle of the moving bar as possible to score.
You can get a bad, good, cool or perfect. You can unlock this after
obtaining Folgore's CD (see "Gash's Collection").
=====================
7. Gash's Collection
=====================
There are a total of 26 items that you can collect and some items unlock
other secrets in the game. Here's a list of them and how to obtain them.
Just like unlocking the characters, if you want to get through Challenge
Mode quick, you can set the number of wins in options to 1. Also, you DO
NOT need to play through the entire Story Mode to gain items number 6 and
8! All you have to do is get to the mini game part, win and reset the game!

8. Story Mode
=============
The purpose of this section is to let non-Japanese speakers enjoy the
story so, what you'll find here is mainly all the translated
dialogue. If you want to skip them though, you always press Start.
Before starting, note that if you want to play the "Extra" episode, you
must play through Story Mode on normal without even losing once and win
5 episodes in a row.
Episode 1 - The Mamono Children, Gash v Reikomu.
Opponents: Hosokawa & Reikomu
Stage: River Side.
*Mamono means apparitions, goblins or literally "evil thing".
Mother: Hey, Kiyomaro!
Are you planning to slack off school today too?!
Kiyomaro: What am I going to study going to school at this hour?!
Mother: It's because you say these things that you meet bullies all
the time!
To be frank, you should make a friend at least!!
Kiyomaro: Shut up!!
Why must I...
Become friends with THOSE low level creatures?!
???: Hey you!
Why are you telling your mother to "shut up"?!
Kiyomaro: ...?!
Gash: You're Takamine Kiyoumaro right?
I've been asked to help you from your father.
My name's Gash Bell!
I came here to train Kiyomaro.
I came here to execute operation "Ally of Justice"...
For Kiyomaro who has no friends.
Kiyomaro stopped being a mischievous...
And managed to get along with his classmates, sparrows and
other things.
He changed!
But...
As for me, I was here without even knowing who I was...
And then those people appeared.
The man who brought the one who was the same as me. A
"Child".
Reikomu: ...Hosokawa, look.
Kiyomaro: Wh- What the?!
A child that looks like Gash...!
Can't be!
Hosokawa: Well, what do we have here. That Red Book and that Child...
Did you pick them up?
Heh heh heh... I'm pretty sure you're getting quite a bit
of...
Fun from using that Child's power too.
Kiyomaro: What...?
Not at all.
Hosokawa: I see. You haven't picked up that child for long.
This thing's amazing... It has some amazing power.
Breaking through safes and stealing jewellery.
It does anything!
With this thing, I can satisfy all that I desire!
Kiyomaro: ...Let me ask you something.
You use that child to gain money and you're wearing a nice
suit.
But the clothes that that child is wearing is...
All dirty, soaked and worn. What is that all about?
Hosokawa: Ha!
What are you trying to say?!
This thing's a tool, you know that?!
As if there's any NEED for a tool to were new clothes!
Kiyomaro: ....!
Quit fooling around you bastard!!
Gash: I can't stand it any longer!
Kiyomaro!
Kiyomaro: Yeah!!
After the battle...
Reikomu: A....Aaaaah...
The book... The book!
Kiyomaro: Yo- You idiot! It's burning!
Reikomu: Ah...
Kiyomaro: What the?! I can see through his body...?!
....
He-... Hold it. Hey you...
That kid called Reikomu... He's gone.
Gash: It... It was the first time I realised it.
The Red Book I always had with me was just like that Blue
Book...
And that kid that spat out ice...
Kiyomaro...
Am I a monster...?
Kiyomaro: ...Gash.
Episode 2 - The Black Assasin, Brago and Sherie.
Opponents: Brago & Sherie.
Stage: Front of Kiyomaro's House I
Gash: What's wrong about it?!
I'm better than a human because I can generate electric
attacks!
What's wrong with showing off?!
Kiyomaro: Idiot.
One wrong move and you can kill someone with that sort of
thing! That's the kind of thing it is!
Gash: What?
Shut up!
It's my choice whether I show off or not!
Get lost, Kiyomaro!
I don't want to see you face!
That... idiot, Kiyomaro...
Isn't it all right to be better than humans?
Isn't it just too painful just being a monster...?
I can generate electric attacks from my mouth...
And if my book gets burned, I'll disappear...
I myself didn't even know who I am...
Then, a person named Sherie arrived...
Bringing with her a Mamono Child.
Sherie: ...
This child that appeared with a book...
Is one of the Mamono Children released to the human world.
Kiyomaro: ....
Sherie: The children of the 100 chosen people...
Will battle it out in this human world and burn one
another's books until...
One is left...
Brago: The one that survives... will be the next ruler!!
Sherie: That is all I have to explain...
I understand you were just dragged into this without
knowing anything.
Maybe you can just hand me your Red Book?
Kiyomaro: Gu... Guaaaargh!!
Gash: Ki- Kiyomaro!
Cut it out!
You'll get killed!
Hurry and let go of the book!
Kiyomaro: ...I'm going to fight... Gash...
Gash: ?!
Kiyomaro: ...I'm going to fight with your fate!
I'm not going to fight to decide who's the ruler...
I'm going to fight to win your happiness!!
Brago: ...Looks like they're going to fight.
Sherie: Yeah... I won't take it easy.
Lets go!!
After the battle...
Sherie: What?!
It can't be...
His power is as strong as mine!
Kiyomaro: I don't know what it is that you're burdened with...
This might be a tiny thing compared to yours...
But to me...
It's a big deal...
I'm talking about...
How Gash has been changing me up til now.
Do you know how much help I got thanks to this guy...?!
That's why...
This time...
It's my turn to return what I got from him...
I won't give up my Red Book...
No matter how many times you come here...
Just like today, I'll... Send you back...
....
Gash: Ki- Kiyomaro!!
Sherie: ...It's all right.
He's not dead.
Once he's concious again, tell him this.
I'll leave it this time but...
Next time, I will definitely come for the book.
Until then, protect the book well and he must survive...
It's only us that will be the ones to burn the Red Book...
We'll meet again... Child of the Red Book.
Gash: It's been days since then...
Both Kiyomaro and his mother has been away from home.
Lonely, I went to the park alone to play.
I was going to play with other kids since I didn't have a
choice.
Naomi: Hohohoho!
Wait, Gash.
Gash: Nuoooo!
Stop it, Naomi-chan!
Naomi: Gyahahaha!
If you don't hurry and run...
You're going to get hit by this "Judem Bez"~!
Gash: Nuooooo!!!
Here you'll have a mini game where you must, you guessed it, get Gash away
from Naomi! Hit the A and B buttons in turn quickly until you reach the
goal to win. It's very easy, by the way.
Once you outrun her, you'll get item no. 6, Crying Mika-chan and the game
will auto-save.
Episode 3 - The Kind Mamono, Koruru.
Opponents: Shiori & Koruru
Stage: Park
Gash: You're new face here.
I'm Gash Bell!
What are you called?
Koruru: I- I'm Koruru...
Shiori: Koruru.
Koruru: ...Ah, Shiori-chan!!
Shiori: Koruru, sorry I kept you waiting.
Come on, lets go home.
A Mamono Child that didn't like fighting.
Koruru was picked up by Shiori-chan and lived together
peacefully.
Even when the incantations were recited, Koruru remained a
gentle kid...
Yes, even when incantations were recited...
Passer by: Aaaah! A monster!!
Kiyomaro: ...!
Are all the incidents really the work of Mamonos?!
Gash, lets go!
Gash: O- OK!
???: Gr... Grrr...
Shiori: Ah... Aahh... Koruru.
Gash: You're Shiori-chan, right?!
You're Koruru's sister, Shiori-chan right?!
Shiori: Huh?!
Gash: I'm Gash Bell!
Koruru's friend!!
Shiori: Ah.... Ah, that time...
I- I'm Sorry!
Sorry!
Please! That child...
Please help Koruru!!
Gash: What?! Koruru?!
That's Koruru?!
Koruru: Gieeeeeeeee!!
Gash: ...She's crying.
Kiyomaro: Gash?!
Gash: Why are they fighting as they cry?
After the fight...
Shiori: Koruru...
Koruru: I- I...
Gash-kun... Thank you.
I really thank you.
You stopped me...
And you helped me...
Thank you... everyone...
Shiori: Koruru's book is burning!!
Aaah! No...
Koruru, don't go!
Gash: ...Why.
Why did such a nice Koruru become like this...
Kiyomaro: You're right...
Even though she could finally finally...
Meet a kind hearted Mamono...
Koruru: I heard once...
That in this battle which decides the ruler of Mamono, the
children who have a weak will to fight...
Will be given another personality...
So that they can't run away from the battles...
...Gash.
When there's a kind hearted ruler in the Demon World...
I wonder if it's better if there wasn't such painful
fighting...
Gash: A kind hearted ruler...
Yes, yes! You're right!
You're right, Koruru!
Koruru: Thanks...
Gash...
Shiori: Ko- Koruru!!
Gash: A kind hearted... ruler...
When Koruru was crying...
When Koruru was disappearing...
I regretted it a lot...
That's why... I'm going to keep on fighting!
So that I can become the kind hearted ruler!!
Episode 4 - The Invincible Hero, Folgore!
Opponents: Kyanchome & Folgore
Stage: Front of Kiyomaro's House II
Kiyomaro: What's... your name?
Kyanchome: ...Kyanchome...
Kiyomaro: Where has your book owner, Folgore gone...
For the past 2 hours?
Kyanchome: ....
Folgore: Hahaha!
Sorry I kept you waiting, Kyanchome!!
Kyanchome: Waaah!
You're late, Folgore!!
Folgore: Hahaha! Sorry.
The girls wouldn't let go of me!
Kiyomaro: Hey! Your name's Folgore right?!
Just what have you been doing?!
Folgore: Who am I you ask?
I'm the Italian performer, Palco Folgore!
Kiyomaro: Like I said!
You came here to fight and you go flirting with girls...
Folgore: Hey hey, you want my CD you say?!!
Here, take it!
Folgore will give you it as a present!!
Kiyomaro: Hey!
Listen to what people say!
Folgore: Guess I have no choice.
I'll dance for you!
Kyanchome! Start the music!
Kiyomaro: Zakeru!
*Chant from the book.
Folgore: Gyaaaa!!
Kyanchome: Folgore!!
Kiyomaro: ...Why don't you guys give up?
Kyanchome: Hahaha... You guys are making fun of Folgore.
Alright, I shall tell you this!
Folgore is known as the Warrior of Steel!!
Folgore is known as the Invincible Warrior!!
Folgore of Steel~
Folgore: Invincible Folgore~~
Kyanchome: Hahahaha... Scared?
The invincible hero is...
Folgore: Palco Folgore!!
Kiyomaro: ....
Zakeru!
Folgore: Gyaaaaa!
Kyanchome: Urgh... Damn it Gash...
Why are you so strong?
I'm weak so...
It seems you're the only leftover I can win against because
you're like me...
That's why I came all the way to Japan...
If I lose here then won't be able to win against anyone
else.
I'll stay weak forever!!
That just can't happen!
...I will become a strong and cool guy like Folgore!!
Folgore: You're right...
We can't' run away from here.
We'll win! Kyanchome!!
Kyanchome: Yeah!
After the fight...
Kiyomaro: Anyway...
Who the heck were those guys...
Gash: Er...
Folgore: We'll come again.
Kiyomaro: The fight's over and they're going back home hastily but...
I wonder if we really should have let them go...
Gash: Yeah, I think it's fine!!
That person was a little weird but...
Isn't someone who's working hard to become stronger a good
person?
Folgore: Ha. The opponent was too strong today.
It couldn't be helped, Kyanchome...
Kyanchome: Yeah...
Folgore: And that kid was a leftover right?
He's gotten stronger.
That means you can become stronger too.
You done your best, Kyanchome!
Kyanchome: Ug... {Fighting back tears.}
Folgore: Hey! Look!
We're surrounded by fans all the way to the airport!
This is happy enough for us!
Come on, lets go Kyanchome!
Kyanchome: O- OK!
Episode 5 - The Demon of the Old Castle. Defeat Barto!
Opponents: Barto & Steng
Stage: Hobark Castle
Gash: Kiyomaro and I headed to the UK where I last found his
father...
So that I could find clues regarding my past.
Along the way, we met a young man named Sekkoro and
together...
We arrived at where Kiyomaro's father's laboratory was
but...
His father wasn't there...
Inside the messed up laboratory...
Only a flower was left behind...
Sekkoro: ! Th- That flower is...!
Kiyomaro: ...Sekkoro? Do you know something about this flower?!
Sekkoro: About 50KM from here...
There's an old castle, Hobark Castle...
There... demons started to live there half a year ago.
Since then, there's been rumours of a knight appearing in
the nearby villages who commanded demons...
They brought money and food with them back to the old
castle...
If you didn't bring a tribute then...
An armoured knight would kidnap the family.
Then they would always leave that flower behind in the home
where everyone has gone...
My mother and father has gone too...
Kiyomaro: Could you guide us to that castle, Sekkoro?
Sekkoro: What?! Were you listening to me just there?!
Kiyomaro: Even so, I'm going there to save them!
Sekkoro: ...!
Kiyomaro: This is Hobark Castle huh...
An old castle of demons.
Gash... Once we go into this castle, we don't be able to
turn back.
But I will definitely save my father!
No matter what happens!!
Gash: Yeah, of course!!
Barto: They're here... Steng...
Steng: Are you ready, Barto?!
Barto: Of course, Steng.
Kiyomaro: Gr... Don't tell me this is the demon of the old castle.
We were going to fight a Mamono Child?!
Gash: ...What a huge kid.
Kiyomaro: This is no time to say pointless things!
He's coming!
This battle is a little different because of the size of Barto but easy.
All you have to do is dodge his attack then using Kiyomaro and Gash's
electric attack, hit where the arrow is pointing by pressing R. They'll
automatically shoot in a diagonal way upwards. You only have to win one
round this time.
After the battle...
Kiyomaro: Father!!
Kiyo's Father: ...Kiyomaro.
You've grown quite a bit since I last seen you.
You look great.
Kiyomaro: ....
Sekkoro: D- Dad! Mum!!
Sek's Father: Sekkoro...
Sekkoro: Ug... (Fighting back tears.)
Sek's Parents: Sekkoro!!
Sekkoro: Waaaaah!! (Bursting out crying.)
Kiyomaro: Thank goodness, Sekkoro.
Sekkoro: Kiyomaro... thank you!
Kiyo's Father: ....
Kiyomaro: Friends?!
I don't need friends!!
Why do I have to play together with THOSE low level
creatures?!
Kiyo's Father: That Kiyomaro... Ha.
What I see is that it's not just his body that's grown...
He's matured well...
You've changed Kiyomaro for me well...
Thank you, Gash!!
Episode 6 - The Free Travellers, Apollo and Rops.
Opponents: Apollo & Rops
Stage: Mining Grounds
???: What colour is your book?
Kiyomaro: Huh...?
???: My book is the colour of the sky.
Kiyomaro: Wh- What?!
Gash: The one named Apollo didn't like battles and just continued
his journeys as he feels.
Even when he gets challeged to a battle,
He wouldn't burn his opponent's book...
And turn everyone back.
But Apollo was the strongest we have fought up so far...
Apollo: To me, I don't care what becomes of the competition for
ruler of the Demon World.
Kiyomaro: I just want to travel freely without relating to people as
much as I can.
Are you... fighting?
Kiyomaro: Yeah, I am...
The Mamono of my book is called Gash...
It's awkward for me to say this but...
That guy's helped me in painful times.
I think you won't understand but to me...
It was a very big deal...
Kiyomaro: Gash said he wants to become a kind hearted ruler...
That's why...
That's why I want to make him a ruler.
Apollo: ....
It seems that you have something that I don't no matter how
you look at it.
Kiyomaro: Huh?
Apollo: That's why...
Kiyomaro, will you fight me?
Someday, my Mamono will disappear and your one too...
If that's going to happen, I want to try fighting you.
Kiyomaro: Wh-?!
I don't want to fight you.
You've been avoiding fights so far right?
So why are you suddenly saying you want to fight?
Apollo: The reason is simple...
I want to fight you now.
You want to make that Mamono a ruler right?
If you are then you'll be in trouble if you let me burn
your book right?
Kiyomaro: Damn it!
You're going to fight me no matter what?!
Gash: Ki- Kiyomaro!
Is he a bad person?!
Kiyomaro: I don't know! But if we don't fight him...
We're going to get beaten!!
After the fight...
Kiyomaro: Have we done it...?!
I... I can't move anymore...
Apollo: Hahaha...
Is that all you got, Kiyomaro?
Kiyomaro: ! Wh-...!
Apollo: But... I can't move anymore either.
No matter how much I persist, I can't move.
I'm beat...
I can't do anything...
Lets finish this next time.
OK, Kiyomaro?
Once you and I are stronger, we'll fight again.
Kiyomaro: Ah... Yeah... We will.
Apollo: Ah... This is the first time...
I wonder why?
I didn't win in battle...
But I feel good...
Hahaha...
Kiyomaro: Heh...Heheheh...
Episode 7 - Friends To Trust In, Tio and Megumi
Opponents: Tio & Megumi
Stage: Mountains
Tio: We've with all kinds of Mamono, haven't we~
Gash: Yeah... Everyone was so strong.
Tio: Amazing huh, Gash~
You've done well to survive.
Gash: It's because I had lots of people who helped me apart from
Kiyomaro.
Tio: If you can defeat that many just by yourself then...
I'm sure it's about time the number of Mamonos are
decreasing, huh.
Gash: Yeah, you're right.
I wonder how many are left...
Kiyomaro: Heeey.
It's nearly time to go, you two~
Gash: OK, Kiyomaro.
Tio: What? It's that time already?
Oh no!
Kiyomaro: Hurry up.
Megumi-san took out her precious time to come here to have
fun you know.
Gash: Yeah! Your face is grinning for some reason!
Kiyomaro: Uh...
Re- Really?
Tio: Gash!
Lets have a race up to the mountains!
Gash: Fi- Fine!
I won't lose!
Megumi: Kiyomaro-kuuuun!
Kiyomaro: Megumi-san, sorry we kept you waiting.
Gash: Ha.... Ha.... {Panting}
Tio: Ha.... Ha....
Megumi: Wh- What's wrong with those two...
Kiyomaro: Haha, man.
While they ran all the way up here, they were fighting.
Megumi: There's a surprise...
Tio: It's... It's impossible, Gash!
Gash: Hmmm?! No way~!
That's not going to happen!
I have Kiyomaro with me!!
Kiyomaro's much cleverer than me!
And he's really dependable!
That's why if I follow Kiyomaro,
I'm sure it'll be all right!
I'm sure he'll be able to train me so that I can become a
kind hearted ruler!!
Tio: Me- Megumi's amazing too and won't lose to Kiyomaro!!
She's beautiful, kind, strong and cool!
Megumi will definitely make me into a ruler!!
Gash: Uuuur, I won't lose.
Tio: I won't lose either.
Gash: Uuuuu...!
Tio: Mu~~~~!
Megumi! Take out your book!
Megumi: Huh... Huh?
Gash: Kiyomaro!
Megumi: Ju- Just a sec, you two...
Kiyomaro: Wh- What the?
Cut it out you two...
Gash: Nuoooooooo!
Tio: Yaaaaaaaaaa!
After the fight...
Tio: We went...
Over the top a bit today huh...
Gash: Unuu...
Just what to expect from Megumi and Tio.
You two were tough!
Tio: O- Of course!
Even so...
In the Demon World, even friends who get along well...
Along with everyone else seems to change and attack...
I was all along and it was only Megumi who saved me...
Only one person will survive in this battle...
Even so...
Gash: ...Hmmm?
What's wrong, Tio?
Tio: ....Hey, Gash.
Do you remember... what we promised that time?
Gash: ...Of course I remember!
I'll become ruler and I will stop this stupid fighting.
That's why I'm fighting!
So that I can become a kind hearted ruler!
But even if I lose against you some day...
You'll become a kind hearted ruler for us instead.
Tio: ....!
And you're called the leftover Gash as well!
There's people that I can believe in apart from Megumi...
In all this fighting, there are people who aren't
enemies...
There are friends who I can believe in...!
Kiyomaro: ....Heh.
Megumi: ....Heehee.
Tio: Hehe...
That's right.
Lets promise one more time!
Gash: Yeah!
Tio: If Gash and I survive until the very end...
No matter who wins, we'll be kind hearted rulers.
We must never lose!
Gash: Yeah! That's right!
We'll become kind hearted rulers!!
Once you've beaten the game, you will obtain item no. 1, the Vulcan 300.
You will unlock the mini game "I Wonder If I Can Make A Vulcan?" along
with Challenge and Survival mode under VS.
****** Extra - Fight Together With Your Precious Person, Won Rei ******
Opponents: Won Rei & Rien
Stage: Yougan Island
Rien: ...!
You two are here?!
Gash: Yeah, and you too!
I'm going to help your friend!
Rien: ...You are some charming people!
I'm very happy!
I'll be forever in your debt!
Gash: Rien who came from Hong Kong...
Was also someone who possessed a Mamono book.
The person named Won Rei was Rien's friend.
He got captured by Rien's father.
That's why Kiyomaro and I were heading to Hong Kong
together with Rien.
Won Rei was taken from Rien because he wasn't human...
So that we can save Won Rei!
Won Rei: ....
Why are you here, Rien?
Rien: Won Rei...!
Kiyomaro: That's... Won Rei huh.
Gash: He's locked up.
But if we use the power of Mamono, I'm sure we can get him
out easily.
Kiyomaro: He can get out can't he?
He's just not coming out, Gash.
He doesn't want Rien to get involved in the fighting...
He doesn't want Rien to get hurt...
Rien: Why aren't you coming out, Won Rei?!
Won Rei: ....
I said that I'll stop fighting.
Rien: A ruler!
You came to this world to become a ruler...
A ruler who will protect all the Mamonos didn't you?!
Have you given up on that dream?!
Won Rei: ...Yes.
Rien: ....!
Kiyomaro: ....Ku!
Gash: Kiyomaro...?
Kiyomaro: Is that so, Won Rei?
Then I shall burn your book right here!
Gash: !!
What are you saying, Kiyomaro?!
Rien: Kiyomaro...
Won Rei: .....
Kiyomaro: Gash!
Zakeru!!
Rien: ...! No!!
AAAAAAH!!
Won Rei: Rien!!
Rien: Ku....
I... want to fight with you...
So I don't care if I get hurt...!
Won Rei: Rien! Get back!
I'm sorry I just stood there!
Kiyomaro: You bastard!
You still don't understand, do you?!
You still don't understand Rien's feelings...
How she's trying to say that she'll abandon everything
to help you with your dream of becoming a ruler!!
Won Rei: ....!
Kiyomaro: Do you still hate yourself for getting Rien involved in
these battles?!
Then quit talking about your stupid dream when you're not
going to stand up against fate and obstacles!
I'll show you how to fight!
I'll show you a fight where you're protecting Rien!
...Come on, lets go again.
What are you going to do, Won Rei?!
Won Rei: !!
After the fight...
Won Rei: ....
Kiyomaro: Heh... Heheh.
Won Rei: ...Aren't you going to burn my book?
Kiyomaro: Yeah. If you're aiming to become a kind hearted ruler.
Won Rei: A kind hearted... ruler?
Kiyomaro: Yeah,
It's Gash's ambition.
Even if you did aim to be one and we lost to you...
Maybe a kind hearted ruler will be born.
Won Rei: I'll promise you.
I'm glad I met you.
Rien: Kiyomaro...
You didn't plan to burn my book from the beginning?
Won Rei: ...Thank you, Rien.
Rien: Won Rei...
Won Rei: I'll protect you and together we will walk the path to
becoming rulers!
Rien: ...!
Won Rei: Kiyomaro, Gash.
Both of you must survive to the very end.
Rien: We will be the last ones you fight!
Kiyomaro: Yeah.
Do your best.
Gash: See you guys later!
****** Brago & Berserk Sherie ******
Brago: Heh... There they are.
What are you going to do, Sherie?
Sherie: ....I know.
I mustn't have a least bit of sympathy!
I'll burn their book in one go...!
Haa... Haa...
Brago: Sherie...
Are you really all right?
Sherie: You say too much, Brago!
I'm going to hurry up and end this meaningless fighting
now!
I'm fine.
I won't mess up.
....Grr!
Brago: Fine...
Well, amongst the humans who sleep once each day...
She can still move after not sleeping for over 3
days. She's something...
But in this condition, it might be dangerous for her to
fight...
Sherie: ....
Come now, you can't get away.
Hand over the book to me now.
If you don't, I'll snatch it by force!
Brago!!
Brago: ....Damn. Guess it can't be helped.
After the fight...
Sherie: Ah... Ah...
Wh... What did I...
Brago: ...Looks like you're back to yourself again.
Sherie: I- I can't move... Brago...
Brago: You idiot.
You pushed yourself too far.
Sherie: ...I can't...
Pass out here...
...I'll end...
This battle...
I will...
Get my friends back here...
...Until then...
Until then... I...
Brago: Hey, Sherie!
Damn it.
She's lost conciousness...
....
Hey you.
I'll leave the battle this time.
Next time it won't be like this.
Until then, wait for your death.
Ha. Fever huh...
Passing out at this level.
Why does such weak humans have to gather in this fight?
Why...
****** Zeon & Dufour ******
???: ...Who is it?
Who just called me Gash?
My name is Zeon.
Woah. You're not getting away.
Hey, Dufour!
....We're fighting.
After the fight...
Zeon: I see...
Just what to expect for someone who's managed to survive up
til now.
Hahaha... no matter.
We'll meet again.
Until then, do all you can to survive!
Hahahaha!
****** Umagon & Raiku Sensei ******
Raiku Sensei: Ahahahaha.
Thank you everyone for supporting me all the time.
I am Gash's original creator, Raiku Akira (special
appearance).
Umagon: *Horse whinnies*
Raiku Sensei: Oh?
You're a horse too?
What a coincident.
I'm a horse too.
Umagon: *Horse whinnies angrily*
Raiku Sensei: Hey hey.
I'm not making fun of your face.
Aren't you happy that you can meet a friend?
Hmm?
You're carrying a strange book on your back.
Oh? There's a person over there carrying the same
book as this horse.
Umagon: *Horse whinnies angrily again*
After the fight...
Raiku Sensei: Hahaha!
Umagon: *Horse whinnies angrily!*
Raiku Sensei: Ah~
What a nice change of mood.
I haven't exercised enough lately.
Huh? A book?
Lets see... what language is this?
I can't read it at all!
Umagon: *Whinnies puzzled.*
Raiku Sensei: My real partner for the Manga's working hard huh.
Ahahaha!
He can't appear in the game yet.
Well, I have to get back.
I have to get back to my scripts.
Bye~! Farewell~
Umagon: *Whinnies sadly*

10. Credits, Conclusion & Contact Info
======================================
While the story is your typical Japanese Anime story for the younger
audience, you do see quite a bit of hilarious animation during the fights.
You have the Mamono Children doing all sorts of moves to fight when they're
not using their Mamono powers! Have a look at Tio. A innocent looking
Mamono child but when it comes to fighting, she'll jump at your face
punching it to death with a maniac face to boot!
Another interesting thing was that you fought with a team of two, the book
owner and the Mamono Child so you're not faced with the usual beat-em-up
game. Every duo also had their own set of attacks so that they remain
distinctive. Moves are also quick to learn because no matter which duo you
pick, their specials are all done the same way. Whether this is good or bad
is up to the player to decide although considering who this game is for, I
think it's a good idea.
Overall, a quick fun game to enjoy. Story won't last long but what can you
say about a 64MBit game? For non-Gash fans like me, I think this will act
as a nice intro to the story. There's also plenty of hidden features for
longer replayability.
