**The Wonderful Majestic 12** (*すばらしきかなマジョスティック 12（トゥエルブ）,Subarashikikana Majosutikku 12*) is the 67th episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on August 1, 2004.

## Overview

Gash and Kiyomaro’s group find themselves at a stand off against Byonko and his group of ancient demons. The Majestic 12 also make an unexpected return in order to help Gash and Kiyomaro’s group distract and defeat their enemies using their supernatural powers.

## Plot

Gash and Kiyomaro arrive in the nick of time to rescue Tio thanks to Umagon’s quick speed. Gash calls out to Tio to give him her hand and as soon as she does, he manages to climb on top of her and onto the ancient demon that had captured her. Kiyomaro then asks for Gash’s spell book that she had been protecting all this time and thanks her for all of her efforts. With the spell book in his hands, Kiyomaro casts *Zakeruga* and Gash attacks the ancient demon from behind which causes him to let go of Tio. Tio falls from the sky for some time before Gash manages to grab her again. Although he manages to stop her fall, the two of them would also fall together once Gash lets go of the ancient demon he had been holding onto. Luckily, both Kiyomaro and Sunbeam manage to catch them and they all return to the ground safely and reunite with the rest of their allies.

While the others are happy to see Kiyomaro’s group again, Byonko and his group of ancient demons devise a plan in which they will all try to attack together. Dr. Riddles takes notice of this and calls for the group’s attention to listen to a strategy that he had thought up. The strategy itself involves him and Kid attacking first to create an opening that will then allow the rest of the group to take advantage of to rush in and attack. Kiyomaro questions this plan as he points out that it would put Dr. Riddles and Kid in too much danger but Dr. Riddles reassures him that he won’t be in any danger for this as the Majestic 12 will be there to provide assistance. The idea of additional reinforcements catches everyone by surprise and Dr. Riddles will soon introduce each of the members of the Majestic 12 that had arrived on the scene. After their introductions, Byonko takes notice of the fact that there were only 11 members present. Everyone else wonders this too and Dr. Riddles explains that the missing member, Psycho Jungle, was currently on a paid vacation. Surprisingly however, they all end up seeing that Psycho Jungle had returned early in order to help them. With all 12 members there, Dr. Riddles finally presents a question for Byonko and his group to solve in which he asks who out of the 12 members was the odd one out.

With help from his group, Byonko answers the question with Wonderful to the Future as his response. This however was revealed to be incorrect as the correct response was Flying Beat. Because of his wrong answer, Dr. Riddles calls on the Majestic 12 to punish him and the rest of his group using their supernatural powers. As each member shows off their unique abilities, it becomes evident that they’re not as powerful or intimidating as they were made out to be. Because of the lack of progress made, Kiyomaro and the others try to suggest to Dr. Riddles that they start attacking but Dr. Riddles insists that they wait and continue to believe in the Majestic 12. Although many of the members ended up being defeated, Big Boing was the last one remaining. Despite not having powers like the other members, Big Boing ends up distracting everyone on the battlefield using her “Boing Chop” technique while Dr. Riddles and Kid attack Byonko and his group from behind using *Gigano Zegaru*. With an opening finally created by them, Kiyomaro and the others use this opportunity to their advantage and the fight between demons truly begins.

Kiyomaro casts *Rauzaruku* and tells Gash to use his enhanced speed and strength to throw some of the ancient demons far away. Gash effortlessly dodges all incoming attacks and successfully grabs and throws away two of the ancient demons. The final ancient demon however uses her strongest spell, *Bazu Agurōzesu*, to create a large and monstrous rose plant that nearly devours Gash. He’s saved just in time however as Wonrei uses *Raou Dibauren* to destroy the spell. The battle comes to an end as Byonko soon sees that the spell books of 3 of the ancient demons he was with are now burning away in the hands of Dr. Riddles and Kid. Totally defeated, Byonko and his bookkeeper make a hasty retreat while Gash, Kiyomaro, and the rest of their allies are left to celebrate their latest victory.

Later that night, Kiyomaro expresses his relief seeing everyone was alright and tells Wonrei and Lien how glad he is to see that they’ve joined their team. Wonrei apologizes to Kiyomaro for having taken so long to get there but was filled in on all the details about what was going on. Kiyomaro also tells him that while they weren’t initially able to find Lord, they all still managed to return safely and feel even more confident about things now that Kid and Wonrei are there to help. Just as they talk about Lord, Dr. Riddles informs them that he had recently learned about Lord’s true identity.  He tells them that “Lord” itself was a false name and that his true identity is actually Zofis — a demon with the ability to control the minds of others. The episode then ends as Dr. Riddles reveals that the source he had gotten this information from was the most powerful team he had encountered thus far: Brago and his human partner Sherie Belmondo.

## Manga & Anime Differences

* All appearances Alvin has in this episode is entirely filler and he has no involvement during these events in the manga.

## Censorship & Other Localization Differences

* Scenes that featured Big Boing were heavily edited to reduce her breast size and cover her chest. In some instances, scenes that had her at all were either removed or replaced altogether.
	+ Any scenes that focused only on her breasts were removed.
* Smoke from Wonderful to the Future’s cigarette was removed.

## Trivia

* There is an error in the English dub of this episode in which Kiyomaro mentions Zofis by name just before Dr. Riddles reveals it to everyone.
