**Arrival at Faudo! Desperate Assault. Assassins that Awaited** (ファウード到着! 決死の突入 待っていた刺客*, Faūdo Tōchaku! Kesshi no Totsunyū Matteita Shikaku*) is the 127th episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on October 9, 2005.

## Overview

Gash and Kiyomaro’s group travel to New Zealand where they discover Faudo’s exact location. Some time before they locate Faudo, Zaruchim warns Riou of their impending arrival and Riou prepares for this by sending out Keith and Buzarai to deal with Gash’s group. While parachuting onto Faudo, Gash’s team is separated into smaller groups after being suddenly attacked. With no way to contact each other, the teams are tasked to regroup with each other on their own while being on the lookout for enemies.

## Plot

With only two days left until Faudo’s revival, Gash, Kiyomaro, and their allies board their next chartered flight to locate Faudo’s exact location. Kiyomaro tries his best to rally up his allies, but everyone remains deeply disturbed by the recent revelation regarding Faudo’s true nature. Some of them question Kiyomaro as to how he plans on defeating Faudo once it’s seal is broken but Kiyomaro tries to convince everyone that Canchome’s theory about Faudo could be wrong in an effort to put their minds at ease. It’s then revealed however that this idea of Faudo being a large demon is confirmed to be true according to Zeon as he speaks with Dufort. Zeon tells Dufort that according to a book he read about Faudo, it was known as the Demonic Giant Soldier and it possessed a power so great and dangerous that it was sealed away in the farthest point of the Demon World. He continues by mentioning that while he is unaware of why Faudo was created, he had read about Faudo’s sealing and also learned that Faudo is able to be controlled. The idea of obtaining such power fascinates both Zeon and Dufort and they both believe that with its power, they’ll change from it and see things from a different perspective

At Faudo, Zaruchim informs Riou about at least 8 different demons heading to Faudo. This news already aggravates Riou but Zaruchim continues by suggesting that this may not be coincidence as someone may have been watching their movements and spreading information. After hearing what Zaruchim had to say, Riou calls out for Keith and Buzarai. Riou tells them of the five demons that are heading their way and orders them to handle the intruders when they arrive. On the plane, the pilot tells Apollo of the strange abnormalities the control panel is picking up despite things appearing normal outside. Suddenly, all demons on the plane begin shaking as they’re now sensing Faudo’s presence nearby. Kiyomaro acts quickly on this information and opens the plane door to cast *Zakeru* outside. The spell then reveals the gigantic demonic structure that is undoubtedly Faudo, surrounded by swirling thunder clouds. Everyone is only able to see Faudo for a short time before it turns invisible once again and the scenery returns to normal. After witnessing the structure, Kiyomaro tells Apollo to have the plane ascend vertically to the top of Faudo as it will be the only place they can enter that’s not surrounded by the cloudy barrier. As they reach the top, Kiyomaro, Gash, and the rest of their team jump from the plane and parachute down to Faudo and Apollo watches as they all vanish from view.

On the ground, Keith, Buzarai, and their respective bookkeepers watch the team as they descend from the air. The pair then use their own spells to destroy one of the wings on Apollo’s plane and to separate Gash and Kiyomaro’s team from each other. When Kiyomaro reaches the ground, he manages to find Gash, Canchome, and Folgore. On the other side of the area, Megumi and Tio end up with Sunbeam and Umagon. The group discover Elle nearby who was stuck below a steep cliff but see no sign of Momon. They figure that Momon will be able to avoid any enemy demons while he tries to find his way back to everyone else. As Sunbeam, Megumi, and Tio try to find a way to rescue Elle, Sunbeam instructs Umagon to be on the lookout for any demons that might try to ambush them. From Kiyomaro’s group’s perspective, they wander through the wooded areas until they come across a clearing where they encounter Keith. Keith greets them by spontaneously performing his rendition of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy but Kiyomaro becomes annoyed by this and attacks him directly by casting *Zakeru*.

Keith becomes angered by his song being interrupted but Kiyomaro wastes no time in casting another spell towards him. Kiyomaro this time casts *Zakeruga* but Keith effortlessly evades the attack before extending his spring-like arms towards a nearby wall and pillar. He then propels himself forward and attacks Folgore directly before finally landing back in place. Looking back toward the group, Keith reflects that their recklessness reminds him of Barry, who he claims was his old rival in the Demon World. Kiyomaro and Gash are shocked to learn that Keith knew Barry and go on to tell him that they had fought him once before but were defeated by his overwhelming strength. Hearing this, Keith tells them to take their battle with him seriously and warns that they’ll lose their lives if they don’t. The episode then ends as it shows Buzarai joining up with Keith, marking the beginning of the intense battle that awaits Gash and Canchome.
