Episode 141

**Burning Umagon. Freezing Karudio. Run to Victory!!** (燃えろウマゴン 氷結カルディオ 勝利へ走れ!!*, Moero Umagon Kyōketsu Karudio Shōri e Hashire!!*) is the 141st episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime and first aired in Japan on January 22, 2006. Events that occur in this episode and the remainder of the anime’s Faudo arc are entirely anime exclusive and do not follow the events that occur in the manga.

## Overview

On their way to Faudo’s control room, Arth’s group encounter Fango and Jedun who challenge the group to a battle. Both Sauza and Sunbeam step in to fight the pair but their lack of teamwork and compatibility with each other put them at a severe disadvantage against the enemy team. Umagon and Karudio’s conflicting elemental spell powers of fire and ice are also shown to cancel each other out, making it seem almost impossible for them to fight together. In order to win however, the two teams must work together in order to proceed with their mission to stop Faudo from destroying the world.

## Plot

After casting their first spell, Sauza and Karudio rush in to fight Jedun and Fango on their own. Almost immediately they take a direct hit from Jedun, but before Fango could attack next, Sunbeam casts Umagon’s first spell and directs him to try and help the pair. Umagon is also knocked down by the attack, but after seeing that one of their enemies can also use fire spells, Sunbeam casts *Dioemuru Shudoruku* and Umagon transforms into a new battle form. Likewise, Sauza does the same and casts *Diogikoru Gidoruku*. After Karudio transforms, Sauza calls out to the bookkeepers of Fango and Jedun to ask if they are truly okay with allowing Faudo to destroy the world. To his surprise, both bookkeepers nonchalantly respond saying that the idea of the world being destroyed is fine with them. They then go on to speculate that after destroying Japan, Faudo would continue his path of destruction towards the Eurasian continent. The idea of this deeply disturbs Sauza as he realizes that his younger sister would be killed if Faudo isn’t stopped.

Desperate to stop them, Sauza once again tries to fight Fango and Jedun alone despite Sunbeam’s warnings. Fango and Jedun overwhelm Sauza and Karudio with their combination of attacks and Sunbeam orders Umagon to try and help them. Both Umagon and Karudio use their respective fire and ice powers at the same time to attack but the spells cancel each other out as soon as they clash. Sauza and Sunbeam then get into a brief argument over the situation which leads the rest of Arth’s group, who were watching the fight, to decide that they need to step in to help. Seeing that the rest of Arth’s group were about to join the battle, Fango calls out to Riou and asks that he initiate Faudo’s support system to stop Sunbeam and Sauza’s allies from helping. Riou activates it and a glass barrier forms around the battlefield, separating Arth’s group from Sunbeam and Sauza. Arth’s group try to attack the glass but are unable to break it. With Arth’s group unable to assist, Fango and Jedun continue their fight against Umagon and Karudio.

Arth’s group helplessly watches as Sauza and Sunbeam are unable to work together properly as their lack of teamwork leaves them open to attacks. Elly however believes that despite their powers directly countering each other, they should still be able to work well together. Eventually, Elly speaks to Sauza directly and reminds him that he once saved her and that he should be able to work together with Sunbeam and Umagon if he was able to do the same with her. She then tearfully tells him that the fate of the world depends on him as she and the others are unable to do anything other than watch the fight. While Sauza reflects on Elly’s words, Sunbeam tells him too that they all share the same feeling to protect the world and urges for them to be able to work together. Sauza then finally decides he’ll cooperate with Sunbeam and Umagon and waits for Sunbeam to tell him what their battle plan will be.

Now working together, Sunbeam and Sauza rush back into the fight on Umagon and Karudio. The two teams flawlessly evade Fango and Jedun’s incoming offensive spells before focusing on attacking Jedun directly, aiming at their chest where their bookkeeper is located. Umagon attacks first, focusing his flames on their chest before switching out with Karudio. Karudio does the same and concentrates his ice attack on the same location. This strategy of heating up the glass barrier protecting Jedun’s bookkeeper before rapidly cooling it down causes it to crack. The barrier then shatters, and both Jedun and their bookkeeper collapse onto the ground. Determined to still win, Fango uses his strongest spell, *Arusemu Gadyuudon*, which creates and sends a massive fireball towards Sunbeam and Sauza. Karuido creates a wall of ice first to slow down the attack before allowing Umagon to also help slow it down using his flames. *Arusemu Gadyuudon’s* power begins to weaken as a result and completely disappears once Karudio creates one more wall of ice to stop it. Fango calls on his bookkeeper to launch another attack but soon discovers that Sunbeam had already captured him while Fango was distracted. Fango and Jedun’s books are soon destroyed as a result. With the battle over, Sunbeam gives Sauza a thumbs up for their victory together and Sauza does the same.

Meanwhile just outside of Faudo, Apollo and Dr. Riddles are seen on a plane working together to make final preparations to send Ted and Gide into Faudo to assist Gash and Kiyomaro Takamine. Ted wonders why the two of them have gone so much out of their way to help him get to Faudo and both Apollo and Dr. Riddles tell him that they were former bookkeepers and would have gone into Faudo to help if they still had their partners. With only a short window of time for them to fly into position to allow Ted and Gide to enter Faudo, Apollo begins counting down. When he reaches zero, Ted and Gide fly down into Faudo on Gide’s motorcycle. As they enter Faudo’s mouth, Ted, Gide, Apollo, and Dr. Riddles witness something else enter Faudo but neither of them knew what it was. Back inside Faudo, Kiyomaro’s group reach the next area in Faudo where they encounter a new enemy team waiting for them.
