Konjiki no Gash!! Chapter 27

**The Invincible Hero** (無敵の英雄, *Muteki no Eiyū*) is the 27th chapter of Makoto Raiku's Konjiki no Gash!!. This chapter was originally released in Japan as part of volume 3 on October 18, 2001.

## Plot

Two hours pass as Canchome, Gash, and Kiyomaro wait for Canchome’s bookkeeper Folgore to arrive but there’s still no sign of him. While waiting, Canchome asks permission to eat candy he had brought with him and Kiyomaro allows him to do so. While looking at Canchome, Kiyomaro can’t help but wonder to himself if Canchome truly is a contender in the battle to decide king as he can’t take him very seriously. Kiyomaro brings up the possibility that Folgore had abandoned Canchome but Canchome insists that this can’t be true although he momentarily wonders about this. Just then however, Folgore finally arrives and apologizes to Canchome for being so late.

Kiyomaro then confronts Folgore for nailing him to the ceiling and his reasons for challenging him and Gash. Folgore hardly acknowledges Kiyomaro’s comments and instead shows off his latest music CD to him. Canchome plays the music on a CD player and Folgore begins to perform for Kiyomaro. Kiyomaro, unimpressed, attacks Folgore with *Zakeru*. Kiyomaro once again is unable to take neither Canchome nor Folgore as serious opponents and suggests to Canchome that they just give up as it hardly feels like a battle to him. Canchome insists that they’re underestimating him and Folgore and breaks into song to encourage Folgore to stand back up to fight. Kiyomaro and Gash attack Folgore again with *Zakeru* and he falls back down once again. They repeat this until Folgore appears to be unable to get back up again after being electrocuted so many times.

Kiyomaro once again suggests to the team that they give up as he’s now starting to feel sorry for them. Folgore however gets back up and states to Kiyomaro that he doesn’t need his pity as they hadn’t even begun to fight back. To show off their power to Gash and Kiyomaro, Folgore casts *Poruku* and Canchome transforms into a large artillery cannon. Folgore uses Canchome’s intimidating appearance to try and get Kiyomaro and Gash to surrender to them but the two of them instead choose to fight back. Folgore desperately pleads for them not to attack but it’s too late as both he and Canchome are struck by another *Zakeru*. Just as Kiyomaro is about to cast the spell again, Folgore begs him not to and admits that Canchome’s transformation doesn’t actually allow him to launch attacks. Folgore then shows Gash and Kiyomaro that he and Canchome only have one spell and he begs that they let him and Canchome retreat.

As this is happening, Canchome wonders to himself how Gash had become so strong when Gash used to be known as a weakling like him in the Demon World. Despite everything, Canchome tells himself he can’t give up just yet as he desperately wants to defeat Gash after coming all this way to do so. As he shoves a handful of candy in his mouth, Canchome’s second spell suddenly appears in his spell book.
