| abstract | - On Kiyo's fourteenth birthday, a naked child crashes through his window, riding an eagle with a tuna on his back. Zatch Bell is an amnesiac child with a red spell book, and one of one hundred contenders in a tournament to decide the king of the demon world for the next thousand years.
* All Your Powers Combined: Against Clear's final form, his book turns golden and all the defeated demons show up to lend their support, and in several cases, their spells. Saying it's awesome is an understatement.
* Badass Adorable
* Beware the Nice Ones
* Big Eater
* Boring Invincible Hero: A surprising subversion. He actually loses several times. First to Zeon (before he met Kiyo), then to Brago, then Bari, and finally Riou. And even then, the victories he does get aren't easy and Kyo and he don't come out unscathed, heck a few time they're nearly beaten to the brink of death.
* Breath Weapon: His first spell Zakeru.
* Clothes Make the Superman: While Zatch is fairly powerful on his own, he learns the secrets of his regenerating, shielding mantle late in the story.
* Death Glare: Enough to stun resident badass Bari.
* Determinator
* Dynamic Entry
* Eyes of Gold
* Go Through Me: Zatch takes a lot of hits to protect Kiyo. The one time Kiyo explicitly tells Zatch not to do this, Kiyo dies.
* Hair of Gold
* Hey, It's That Voice!: American voice actress is Debi Derryberry, also known as the voice of Jimmy Neutron.
* Ikue Ohtani voices him in the Japanese version. Coincidentally, she's known for voicing another anime protagonist who uses lightning a lot.
* Keet
* Laser-Guided Amnesia
* Magic Mantle
* Magnetic Hero: And we don't just mean Jikerdor.
* Our Dragons Are Different: Baou Zakeruga
* Power Glows: Rauzaruk.
* Shock and Awe
* Super Mode: Rauzaruk.
* Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Brago and Zeon's blue.
* Super Mode: Rauzaruk, the sixth spell, enhances Zatch's strength and speed exponentially for thirty seconds.
* Super Strength: True of all demons, but most obvious with Zatch, who stopped Pamoon's strongest spell with his body alone.
* Trademark Favorite Food: Yellowtail tuna
* Verbal Tic: 'Unu!'
* What Happened to the Mouse?: Seriously, where the hell did that eagle come from?
