If anyone wonders where my Top 10 Favorite Anime/Manga Couples image, it was pretty outdated by now since my feelings have changed over time by so I put it into storage.

In the past few years, I actually stopped caring about anime pairings. These days, I'm not interested in anime pairings unless a show can actually convince me. I started watching Re:Zero — Re:Life in a Different World from Zero less than a month ago (and I'm also currently reading the Web Novels too) and surprisingly, it convinced me, which is why I'm starting this new list. Not sure if I'll make a new image list of my current favorite anime/manga pairings but I'll post it as a journal.

1. Naruto x Hinata (Naruto onwards): This has always been my #1 since childhood and was the reason to get me into anime pairings in the first place. I loved Hinata's confession during the Pain arc and I was happy this pairing became canon in 2014. During the middle of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, I don't think of them as much as I used to since their love story has been completed years ago, but I'll always place them as my #1 nonetheless.

2. Subaru x Rem (Re: IF): BE SURE TO READ MY #3 FIRST BEFORE MY #2. Not sure if I want to flip this down to #3 or keep it to #2 and I know I'm kind of cheating here but let's separate the Re:Zero canon and the official What IFs. So, there is an official What IF web novel that the Re:Zero author had made if Rem ran away with Subaru taking place during the events of S1E18/Vol. 6 Ch. 5, got married, and later raised a family in Karagari. This official What IF web novel series is known as Re: IF a Life in Another World from Zero a.k.a. Rem IF or Sloth IF, and there was also a spin-off chapter in Vol. 9 of the Re:Zero Light Novels called Fragment: Rem Natsuki and the Re: IF story is a prequel to it.

• Even though it is not canon to Re:Zero, I really enjoyed reading the Re: IF story, not only because of the relationship between Natsuki Subaru and Natsuki Rem (they are adorable together though) but I also loved other characters that were in that story like I wish their neighbor Halibel was in the main story and he's one of my favorite Re:Zero characters with Wilhelm being my favorite. I also liked Zarestia ("Tia") and I enjoy the friendship between the married Natsuki couple, their neighbor Halibel, and their new friend Zarestia (as Tia). I like how the story plays out towards the birth of Subaru's and Rem's first child Rigel. Their second child Spica is not much of a character, being a baby but Spica is there to give Rigel a bit more character, being the caring older brother. How I would describe Rigel though is that... he kind of looks like the generic Shonen protagonist but as a minor side character but he did serve as the main character in the extra Re: IF spin-offs.
• Anyway, while I do love Subaru and Rem as a married couple in this What IF series and the fragment chapter of Vol. 9 of the Light Novels, it is kind of sad to think about that in order for Rem and Subaru to get together, they ran away from the dangers the Emilia Camp was facing (which is why it's alternatively referred to as Sloth IF) and everyone else from the Emilia Camp were pretty much killed by Sloth of the Witch Cult (assumingly). [Added on November 17, 2020]

3. Subaru x Rem x Emilia (Re:Zero): I'm not a harem guy but I love the three together (especially in The Memory Snow OVA). Probably my NEW -second- EDIT: third favorite pairing (and it's rare for me to get into polygamic pairings) and one I think about a lot recently and I'm glad I recently checked out Re:Zero recently (as of the creation of this journal). I was only planning on watching this series only for the gory aspects and I have randomly seen pictures/thumbnails of Rem and Ram some years ago, mostly Rem, so I was curious about them... Anyway, digression aside, I was not expecting to get back into anime pairings but this series convinced me and this is why I am making this journal, replacing my Top 10 image.

• I keep hearing from people/fans that the author Tappei is not into harems or polygamies (despite giving his main character two love interests) but as much as Subaru has suffered in the series, I want him to have a happy future with the people he loves but that is only if Emilia (and the author) will accept it.
• [Spoilers for here on out including Novel spoilers] Prior to the character development that Rem received, I liked (not yet loved) Subaru x Emilia but after so much character development Rem went through, she became the most lovable character. Prior to her character development, I did wonder why Rem was beloved and I can see why and I immediately preferred Subaru x Rem. So, Emilia was Subaru's crush and love-on-first-sight. Later, after gaining the trust of the staff members at Roswaal's mansion, Rem develops feelings for Subaru and gave him the love and support Subaru needed to continue to be a hero and that is when I started loving Rem a lot. Even though he said to Rem "I love Emilia", he does develop romantic feelings for Rem as well over the course of the White Whale Battle and he does confess to Rem that he loves her too in the Web Novel and Light Novel but it's too bad the anime cut out Subaru's true feelings for Rem except for the "#1 and #2 in his heart" (Emilia and Rem). Rem may be Subaru's #2 but he does love her just as much as Emilia and Rem wouldn't mind being in a polygamy with Subaru and Emilia (mentioned in the novels) but it's too bad Rem lost her name and memories for a long time. [ARC 6 ENDING SPOILERS] I am glad Rem is back (kind of) as of Arc 6 Chapter 90 (final chapter of Arc 6) of the Web Novels and I'm guessing the final chapter of Vol. 25 of the Light Novels (to be released on Christmas) but it's too bad she woke up without her memories but I still look forward to what will happen (and I'm also kind of worried too). For you anime viewers, I'm guessing that Re:Zero Season 4 (if it will ever get there) will cover the entirety of Arc 6 but as of this journal, Re:Zero Season 2 Part 1 was completed a while ago.

4. 5. Not sure what is my current #4-5 are but I would like to at least still mention Ichigo x Orihime from Bleach (even though I don't think of them as much as I used to). Among Dragon Ball pairings, among the official couples, I'm not sure which one I like most (maybe Krillin x 18 that I didn't mention in my old Top 10), and maybe Sasuke x Sakura (as of Boruto). Among the Yu-Gi-Oh! pairings that I liked, Yusei x Aki of 5D's have always been my favorite and still one of my favorites so I'd like to keep them in the Top 5s (that makes 4 pairings mentioned here so who do I want to boot out?). Maybe I'll boot either Krillin x 18 (in Dragon Ball Z/Super) or Sasuke x Sakura (in Boruto, as their relationship was chaotic in Naruto) off of my Top 5 and they'll still be among my Top 10.

I don't know. Having lost of interest for anime pairings for quite some time makes it difficult for me to rank what my new ones are but I also was having difficulties making and ranking my old Top 10 and I made changes for that a few times.

I have no interest in pairings for the following anime/manga or Japanese TV series that I watched.

• Attack on Titan - My favorite anime/manga but definitely not an anime for romantic pairings.
• Digimon - Most seasons but I do like some pairings from the Adventure series and Tamers, but probably
• Hunter x Hunter - I recently got into it (the 1999 ver. at least) but no possible character pairings yet but I don't think I will be interested in one for this anyway.
• One Piece - People love to pair characters in One Piece but I never cared.
• Super Sentai - The series that Power Rangers was adapted from. I don't care for pairings in the Super Sentai series except for Chojin Sentai Jetman as that season was pretty much a love drama series in addition to being the usual tokusatsu superhero TV show.
• Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (probably), Zexal, VRAINS, and SEVENS. Sometimes, there is usually at least one pairing that I would like in some Yu-Gi-Oh! seasons, usually between the main male and main female, but not always.

Since I'm in a good mood, imagining about some of the amazing things I wrote in my GG!DRA and feeling nostalgic about it, I felt like making a "self-interview" or basically FAQs about the development of my Zatch Bell! fanfiction titled Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army. Anything that is already said in my Main Zatch Bell! Journal won't be included in this journal (and I'm near the character limit in that journal anyway). This will be fun to write!

If you guys would like to interview me, post your thoughts or questions down below! But please, positive or neutral questions and thoughts only. Let's make this a happy interview if you want to interview me on what hasn't been said.

WARNING: This journal will have spoilers to my fanfiction and some of them are spoilers to the original anime/manga.

Q: What inspired you to make Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army? Also, why the title "Golden Gash" instead of Zatch Bell! or Konjiki no Gash!!?
A-1: Well, the Zatch Bell! anime/manga series of course. I made this fanfic since Makoto Raiku completed his series and moved on. I once tried making a Naruto fanfic called Naruto: Ryūden (Dragon Chronicles) while Naruto Shippuden was on-going at the time aaaaaand that turned out to be a bad idea since my fan story was ruined in the fan continuity. lol, I had a Gaia Online Guild based on it but I shut down and umm... I just now remembered I replaced another one of my other Gaia guilds to be a Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army guild but I haven't done anything to it yet (and I will never do anything about it, lol). But I digress.
A-2: But the title was already answered the FAQs of my main journal. Well, I could have called it something different like Golden Raiden/Konjiki no Raiden or Lightning and Rain could have worked for the most part but that wouldn't work for The Fallen King story arcs since my main OC's don't exist in that arc except for being mentioned.

Q: How did you get into Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash!!/Konjiki no Gash Bell!!
A: Okay, a non-GG!DRA question to start things off, but this will be fun to answer. Well, it was on Cartoon Network's Toonami block back in 2005. What caught my interest was the main character using electrical powers and in popular media, lightning/electricity manipulation is my favorite power. And then when I saw Kiyo/Kiyomaro and Zatch/Gash summoning an electrical dragon spell, that made me even more excited since dragons are my favorite mythical creature. The TDP within my username is Thunder Dragon Productions, which is my business alias. Anyway, I got back into the series around 2010/2011 the first time I re-watched the anime and 2014 the second time and after the second re-watch along with some read of the manga, I had so many things going on in my head. I had a huge imagination and I decided I wanted to share some of my imagination in fanfic form. Thus Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army was born! Zatch Bell! isn't my favorite anime/manga series, but I do fanboy over it whenever I see it brought up by someone else on the Internet (mostly because most people don't talk about it and has a small, active fanbase).

Q: Who is your favorite heroic OC and why? And how were they inspired?
A: Well, I am biased towards my main OC's Raiden Bell and Rain Bell. Raiden Bell, he is your generic hyper-active fighting-loving main protagonist just like character such as Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto, Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho, Son Goku from Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Super, Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail, but my inspiration originally came from Marcus Damon/Masaru Daimon from Digimon Data Squad/Savers. Despite his knuckle-headedness, he is very protective of his little brother Rain Bell and his family. Rain Bell is very shy and is a peace-lover (opposite to his brother) and despite being a prince, he has been bullied in school (and Raiden would protect him from bullies regardless of age or appearance). Opposite they may be, they really love each other and it helps their chemistry. While Raiden Bell doesn't really go through character development (and only through power development), Rain Bell slowly goes through character development from being a shy coward to a courageous king, but I wish I could have done more with him. I wanted to make Rain to be the "Kid Gohan" of my fanfic.

Q: Who is your favorite villainous/antagonistic OC and why? And how were they inspired?
A: ZAAAA-HAHAHAHA!!! Dr. Zulu, the former 7th Death General of the Demon Revolution Army and the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Zulu Empire. I love scientific villains like Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Wily from Mega Man so I made a mad demonic scientist based on them (but especially based on Dr. Wily while Dr. Zulu's cybernetic armor spell would be based on Mega Man and his incarnations). The existence of my Dr. Wily would contain a plot hole if involved with the story of the Zatch Bell! Attack of Mechavulcan film since Dr. M2 from that movie states that he was the only one studying magic science. My fanfiction treats Zatch Bell! Attack of Mechavulcan as an alternate universe (or at least Attack of Mechavulcan's future as an alternate timeline).

Q: Who is your least favorite OC and why?
A: Probably Zarpi..... Just Zarpi, the 8th Death General..... I can't think of any reasons why. Hard for me to describe it. Maybe I just made her so bland. She was definitely the weakest of the 8 Death Generals of the Revolution Army (no reason for me to hate her because of that). And I also feel that she's most forgettable. EDIT: [SPOILERS] I forgot she was the one that helped Zecross mind-controlled the Four Great Demon Lords of the Netherworld, which what mighty impressive things to Dr. Zulu. But then, poor Zarpi. You've done your part. lol She was better than I remembered.

Q: Why did you expand and remake your fanfic? And why make alternate versions of the chapters?
A-1: I originally wanted to make my fanfiction series to be 15 chapters long and I made a rushed epilogue with a huge time skip (that could possibly lead up to a sequel). A month later, I decided to fill in the gaps, [SPOILERS] starting with the prevention of a war in the past timeline as that needed to be resolved. After coming up with new ideas I thought from Binsfeld's classification of demons, Roman/Greek Mythology, and Asian Mythology, I decided to create a whole new world in my fan universe called Spirit World as an afterlife world (also taking inspiration from Yu Yu Hakusho's Spirit World and Dragon Ball Z's Other World) with Zecross (the 2nd leader of the Demon Revolution Army) coming back from the dead as the main antagonist of the new, extended arc of Chapter 15 to fill in the gaps. I created three realms for Spirit World including Paradise (which is basically "Heaven" for good demons/mamodos to live in freedom), Spirit World Kingdom (a mid-plane divine kingdom for neutral and mixed-deeded demons/mamodos that basically lives a normal, everyday life in the divine world), and Netherworld (which is basically you-know-what for bad demons/mamodos where they get tortured for their sins). The first deities I created were the archdemons ("archdevils" in the remake)/Four Great Demon Lords of the Netherworld and mixed the names of each demonic princes, giving the infernal gods the traits of their sins. As for the Four Great Angelic Saints of Paradise (the archangel counterparts) and their King (as well as the Netherworld's King, I was determining if I want to use Greek God names or Roman God names (I actually love Greek Mythology as I read Iliad and The Odyssey when I was in middle school) and because I feel Greek Mythology was used in more medias (like the God of War franchise), I decided to use the Roman God names. Well, before I used their Roman God names, I was thinking of mixing the Japanese names of the seven virtues that opposed every seven deadly sins I used and ehhhh, it didn't come out well. But the mixed seven virtues I already set up actually fit each Roman God I used pretty well. As for the Supreme God of Spirit World/Spirit World Kingdom's King, I used the Asian God of Death Yama/Enma (who is also used in popular media like Yu Yu Hakusho and Dragon Ball Z's afterlives) as the leader of the Gods who judges your placement in Spirit World. Anyway, I wanted to build up a possible apocalypse within the Demon World/Makai/Mamodo World. Writing that arc was actually pretty hard to do and resolve the first time around. I had many breaks writing it.
A-2: The reason I remade my Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army fanfiction series was because, while I was satisfied with my abilities as a new writer (well, I did once tried making a Naruto fanfic and made a Gaia Online guild about it, but I discontinued it since the series was on-going, but I digress), I wasn't satisfied with everything I wrote (plus, there were still plenty of grammar errors). At first, I was only going to remake the first chapter since the first chapter in my original version was lacking any depth content since I wanted to get into the good stuff and there wasn't much for me to write about in the first original chapter. A month later, I made the decision to waste more time of my life remaking my whole fanfiction in greater depth with some new changes, like [SPOILERS] making Kolulu to be the aunt of my main OC's by being married to Zeon while Zeon was single in my original version. I found the pairing to be interesting after seeing fanart after I finished my fanfic the first time. And I didn't really like the order I made for Dr. Zulu's invasion in the original since I was going back and forth with time travel/world hopping. In the original, Dr. Zulu attacked Demon World's past first, then returned to the future to attack the Human World (thus, the protagonists were also hopping back and forth) and be defeated in the Human World. In the remade version, I moved the chapters around and made Dr. Zulu attacked the Human World first (he escapes his defeat this time), then attacks the past after the characters prevented the war in the past. In the remade version, that's when I created Dr. Zulu's new Dembot Masters (his most powerful robots and I did based one of them on the Devil-type robots in Mega Man).
A-3: [SPOILERS] I made alternate versions of a few chapters to give my fanfic more drama and that the good guys don't always win. Though I have thought of some alt versions for some chapters I wanted to write a long time ago never got to, like Zega destroying Demon World with his most powerful, but that would end in an instant "THE END" bad ending, lol. Writing the alt chapters in regards to the loss of Penny/Patie actually made me cry writing them. I actually cried writing scenes for those chapters because it was hitting me hard as I was imagining the scenes. Those alts were the saddest things I ever wrote but too bad they don't actually happen in the main story. lol

Q: What types of content would you allow in your fanfic? [Updated December 19, 2018 and May 13, 2019]
A-1: Ahh, okay. Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army is a dark story (and was meant to be). [SPOILERS] Romance (secondary), drama, intense violence/gore (primarily; at least on Dragon Ball Z's and One-Punch Man's level), tragedy.
A-2 (added May 13, 2019): To see an extensive answer, see the second answer to the question: "Are you satisfied with the remake of your fanfiction? Do you feel like you could have done other things or make any changes?"

Q: How did you organize your fanfic and what inspired you to make each arc and which one was your favorite?
A-1: [HEAVY SPOILERS] Well, the term "Death Generals" came from Digimon Fusion (seasons 2)/Digimon Xros Wars: The Evil Death Generals and the Seven Kingdoms. For the first two arcs (which is the full Demon Revolution War arc), a Death General(s) would be attacking each chapter and be defeated by the heroes. I did not return as a Power Ranger fan back then but I wonder if I was aiming for that because in Power Rangers/Super Sentai, it's very cliché where in each episode, they would send a monster to attack a city and the rangers/warriors would destroy them.
A-2: My favorite arc to write was The Zulu Empire story arc and was the most fun one I made. [HEAVY SPOILERS] I made Dr. Zulu and his robots to be heavily inspired by the Mega Man franchise and that's what I was aiming for when creating his arc. I wish I could have made branching paths where the heroes could defeat any Dembot Guardian in any order (they serve as the "bosses"), but that would be impossible to do in the linearity the story was currently in (but I was able to have a readable order for the 2nd set of Dembot Guardians during the Revolution from the Dead story arc, but I'll get to there later). Each Dembot Guardians had their own weaknesses like Phoenix was weak to water and Kraken was weak to lightning. In the original version of this arc, there was no Nekolas or Haria (I never made them up until Revolution from the Dead story arc) so, there were no weaknesses for Yeti and Thunderbird's weakness was water at the time (which nullified his absorption to lightning). In the remade version when I brought my new heroic OC's into the action, Yeti's weakness became fire (Nekolas uses fire and took care of him and saved everyone) and Thunderbird's weakness became ice (Haria has ice spells). Then after the four Dembot Guardians are taken out, Dr. Zulu's tower became vulnerable to attack and time for the final showdown with him (in the original as he escapes in the remake after he loses).
A-3: [HEAVY SPOILERS] The original storyline was concluded after that with a big time skip in the epilogue featuring Rain Bell and Tioga's future kids 974 years later about to participate in the next Battle to Determine King for Demon World. The remade storyline doesn't have the final scene or those OC's (there was nowhere for me to put it). Anyway, since there was a big time gap in the epilogue chapter of the original, I decided to extend my fanfic, and you know what it is. I just wanted to make the past timeline to be safe in their future. I kind of enjoyed writing it (kind of) as I was able to go through the Demon Revolution Army again (but before they were formed). And I moved Dr. Zulu's "Attack in the Past" to here in the remade version. That was fun to write!
A-4: [HEAVY SPOILERS] The Revolution from the Dead arc was a difficult arc to write but I also enjoyed it and I enjoyed creating this afterlife and godlike characters. There were things I didn't get to do that imagined a long time ago but I was still satisfied on how it turned out. This was also the arc where I introduced Nekolas and Haria in the original version. I also introduced the Acolytes of the Nether in a flashback scene in the remake. At first, they were only going to be in the flashback but.....
A-5: [HEAVY SPOILERS] After I completed my remade storyline, I decided to go back into the past to see how the past characters were doing by CREATING A WHOLE NEW WAR! And this time, the new bad guys: The Laughing Deathstock Gang, thanks to the One-Hundred Eyed Iron Titan that they randomly found named Argus (and yes, this titan is based on a creature in Greek mythology), they conqueror Demon World. Wow, a random crime organization being the one to take over Demon World and the Revolution Army failed... but that was because the Revolution Army announced that they were going to do the war (allowing Demon World Military to prepare) while the Laughing Deathstock Gang made a huge surprise attack without any warning. And then, here comes the Acolytes of the Nether and apocalypse is finally here. Now, there was a lot going on and I spent a lot of months trying to figure out what I wanted to do for this arc and as I wrote chapters and chapters, I was still coming up with new things that could work and I made SO MANY NEW OC's like, HOW MANY OC'S DID I MAKE? This was definitely the most difficult and darkest arc to write after Revolution from the Dead arc that I've made and after completing it, I was completely satisfied with my fanfiction by late 2017. IT'S...FINALLY...OVER!!! I'VE DONE IT!!!

Q: Why do Makoto Raiku's characters (especially Gash and Zeon) seem weak? [KnG!! MANGA SPOILERS] Clear Note had the power to destroy Demon World yet the bad guys seem weaker than him. And why did Zega have a spell that could destroy planets but never used it (and how did he learn it)? And who's stronger?
A-1: So many questions in one! [HEAVY SPOILERS] Gash and Zeon are still as strong as they are but Raiden was trained by Uncle Zeon himself (and other Royal Knights like Whir and sometimes by his father). Raiden knows his family's fighting styles. However, the power scaling in my fanfic is probably just as bad as Dragon Ball Super's power scaling for the characters for the sake of the plot. (Power Levels?! What's that?! o.O lol)
A-2: [HEAVY SPOILERS] Zega and Zecross are more powerful than Clear Note with Zega having a planet-busting spell (Shin Shirairadisu) and Zecross having an insta-killing spell (Shidona Reaper/Riipaa) and I know Clear Note had his own planet-busting spell (well, his strongest spell was claimed to be able to destroy 1/10 of Planet Earth after combining with it in Chapter 319). Zega just has the common sense not to use his final spell except as a final emergency (but he can use lower power to destroy 1/4th of Demon World). And if you want to know how Zega would learn such a planet-busting spell if he never used it since it would either destroy a planet or himself (and Demon World's military could possibly detect the usage of unforgivable-forbidden spells if it wasn't for Zega and Zecross' ability to hide their energy in a field), Zega actually never properly learned it but he learned about it and that it requires a great balance of light and darkness energies to master it. It's usually a one-and-done spell..... Okay, maybe he did train it in stealth mode and threw it into space to test it. One could also think that. lol! (But who would see it?)
A-3: [HEAVY SPOILERS] Lord Gul'ren doesn't have such OP spells as his former acolytes have (until he absorbed their souls) but Lord Gul'ren does have the power of the neutral archdevil Lich, God of Undeath, that Zega and Zecross wouldn't stand a chance against if Gul'ren goes into his Lich King form (since their spells can't harm Spirit World deities). However, even though Gul'ren has unlimited resurrections due to the Lich King's powers, he is vulnerable to those OP spells in his base form as Zega's and Zecross' most powerful spells can actually permanently kill/obliterate Lord Gul'ren (which could be a reason why they learned those spells in the first place, at least it was known for Zecross' spell). Zega's planet-busting Shin Shirairadisu can erase base-form Gul'ren's soul completely upon death, preventing him from resurrecting (and would result in Gul'ren's soul being banished into the Void Beneath the Netherworld since that's where every erased/deleted soul goes to as everything must have a place somewhere) while Zecross' insta-killing Shidona Reaper will force Gul'ren's soul in the Spirit World. They left the Acolytes of the Nether to learn those to be able to overthrow Lord Gul'ren in the future but never encountered the Acolytes of the Nether again ever since their departure. So, who is stronger? Well, that depends on whether or not Lord Gul'ren is in his base form or Lich King form but his black magic and necromancy are still very powerful in his base form. Lord Gul'ren was pretty overpowered having unlimited resurrections plus having the powers of an archdevil.

Q: I know this was asked in the main journal's FAQs but it was not updated after The Fallen King: Who are the real main antagonist(s) of the series?
A-0: [HEAVY SPOILERS] Hold on, I'm going to stray off this question for a minute and answer it differently (I'll be glad to answer it down in A-1, so a pre-answer right now)! Since I am still on the topic of Zega and Zecross vs. Lord Gul'ren from the previous question (while eventually answering part of this question), Zega is the older twin brother and the first co-leader of the Demon Revolution Army (it was his idea in the first place to create the army after they betrayed the Acolytes of the Nether) and while he was the primary main antagonist of the Demon Revolution War arcs, he was just a red acolyte (just a follower) among the Acolytes of the Nether. Zecross is the younger twin brother and was the second co-leader of the Demon Revolution Army as the secondary main antagonist of the Demon Revolution Army arcs, but he eventually became the main antagonist of the series up until The Fallen King arcs and he used to be a blue necrolyte of the Acolytes of the Nether (rank higher than the mere red acolytes) due to his necromancy proficiency. Okay, actually staying on the topic of the actual question...
A-1: [HEAVY SPOILERS] When I first wrote my fanfiction series (the original version before I made my expansions), Zega was the primary and the original main antagonist of the whole series (with Zecross only being the secondary main antagonist) and Dr. Zulu as the final main antagonist of the series until I made my expansions when I changed the role of primary main antagonist of the series to Zecross. [I'll stop underlining to make spoilers less obvious] While Lord Gul'ren served as the main antagonist in The Fallen King story arc for a while, there was still his "Master" Dark Guthorax lurking in the void that was going to be served as the final main antagonist of the series... until I decided to make a PLOT TWIST where someone else was manipulating Dark Guthorax over the millions of years. That's when I thought about making an OC rendition of the Greek Goddess of Injustice Adikia to be the final main antagonist. I'm sure people will be coming up for plot holes on my plot twist (it's possible I made plot holes), but I still wanted to do it.

Q: How did Belphebub, Asmon, Behemoth, and devils appear in the Netherworld after the Netherworld's creation?
Q: If you read The Fallen King story arc, it's revealed in TFK Chapter 13 that Adikia was the one who birthed the creation of devils: By moral-controlling nephalems and bad demons that they morphed into devils. Well, while I never showed King Hades' full powers, I just thought of something just now (yes, just now as I'm writing this), he has the power to transfer his unholy god-like energy into devils and make them into archdevils and he wants to create archdevils that would oppose the Four Great Angelic Saints. If it's not just him alone, there is also Lucid by himself. That's where Asmon and Behemoth came from (and probably Belphebub). As for Belphebub on how he obtained Nether powers, one of Adikia's nether soul pieces was responsible for that. Well, let's keep that a mystery! I can't reveal all the secrets or would ruin the theories.

Q: Have you ever planned on making games or a dōjinshi based on your fanfic? Or a sequel?
A-1: Games, I once (twice) have. I once planned about making a Mega Man-styled fangame called Mega Zulu with Dr. Zulu (in a dream) being betrayed by his Dembot Guardians that were being reprogrammed to destroy him. Dr. Zulu would battle his own creations and use their powers against each other (and each bosses/Dembot Guardians have a weakness order and it's a pretty obvious order for the first 4). But I have at least made a Mega Man 7-styled select screen! Another fangame I planned was an RPG remake of my Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army fanfiction series (remade version). To be able to see my full fanfic come into graphics! But that'll take years. I also once thought about the idea of drawing a fan manga version but that is also a huge time waster.
A-2: Back when I finished writing my Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army the first time (before I planned writing expanded chapters), I thought about making a sequel to my fanfic with Rain Bell's children 973 (or something) years later as main characters participating in the next Battle to Determine King of Demon World, but it never happened and I'm already busy with a new, non-Zatch Bell! fanfic. Do one of them become Demon King of the Year 300X? Probably not. I think I once planned on a third-party main character (that would be their ally) to become King of Demon World. A reason why I didn't want to make the sequel is because I don't want to do the same thing the original Zatch Bell! anime/manga did with a Battle to Become King of Demon World in the Human World with a partner gimmick. But having a non-Bell member King of Demon World would be new since there was already three Bell Kings in a row in my fanfic (with Rain replacing his father Gash's position for the remainder of Gash's duration as King).

Q: Will you be making anymore Zatch Bell! or GG!DRA drawings or do any more ZB! related projects?
A: I don't know. Maybe. I know it's been a long time since I last drew anything but ever since I got into making a new fanfic at the very end of 2017 (still working on it), I've mostly moved on from Zatch Bell! (I only came back for a little bit because of fanart I received). I was thinking of doing crossover drawings once I get my new fanfic rolling, but, we'll see. As for any other ZB! projects, I don't think I'll get to my planned fan games into reality, especially since I plan to turn my next fanfic into a future fan game mod for a game... Yes, it's a Doki Doki Literature Club! fanfic (I didn't want to go off-topic from Zatch Bell! in this journal >.<) and I plan on making a mod version of it. I thought about drawing my Zatch Bell! OC's in DDLC high school uniforms but that would take a lot of my time away. (This journal already took my whole day away as I expected.)

Okay, okay... That's enough. I spent 2 days writing this journal (I didn't bother linking all of my characters and chapters mentioned). I need a break. If anyone has questions about my fanfic, drop them down below and I'll answer them (bad comments will be removed) but I'll keep some of the mysterious ones to be mysterious just to allow you guys to create fan theories about my fanfic and if you want to be able to theorize something, then don't ask about it in case if I ruin it. If I think of anything interesting about my fanfic to say, I'll list them below here. In the meantime, I got a DDLC! fanfic to write since I haven't done anything in 3 days and my first chapter is due by the start of 2019. But yeah, this is pretty much "goodbye" from me to the Zatch Bell! fandom for some time again (well, I'll just be inactive from Zatch Bell!).

Extras I thought of after first submission

Q: Have you drawn all of your characters? If not, which are missing? [Added November 29, 2018]
A: I drew all of my main characters but I still have side OC's to draw... a lot of them. [Will have spoilers] There is the Bakery Shopkeeper in TFK Chapter 3, there is the Royal Knight Roxx (I originally did not give this 12th Royal Knight a name as he was just a flashback-only side character and not a main character like the other), and then there are the DOZENS OF TYPES OF Dr. Zulu's robots including Zulu Bots and Dembots. He has waaaay too many types of robots, especially among the Dembot series. To see a list of robots he made, click here. As for who Major General/Sir Roxx is, well, he would have a humanoid appearance (I'm not sure what species I would make him but maybe human-like) and he would wear full armor (grayish teal color), wielding two large chakrams (bladed rings). And then there are all of the minions that serves the Demon Revolution Army's Death Generals, Laughing Deathstock Gangs and affiliations, and the rest of the red acolytes of the Acolytes of the Nether. I did name one of Zedusa's lizard servants Zu'rig that's in Remake: Chapter 14. Because I am busy working on my DDLC! project, I don't have time to be drawing these side characters so I hope their descriptions say enough. Even after I finished with this new project, I don't think I'll still draw them. EDIT (an hour later or so): Actually, there is one thing I want to draw and that's Penny/Patie's new design in The Fallen King story arc. While she does appear in the cover art for TFK, I haven't drawn the full look of her new hairstyle.

Q: Kanchomé and Tia/Tio? Really?! [Added December 3, 2018]
A: I'm just sticking to the characters we know. Romantically, I don't really know how this could have been a thing (I came up with a poor explanation in one of the remake's chapters), but I do like the idea if their abilities would be "fused" (not really a genetic thing as any mamodo in their world could probably learn whatever they want). Illusions + Shields. Invisibility walls is an obvious outcome, which was used for Pancho. However, I did underutilize Pancho's abilities in my fanfic (he could have done more in stealth missions, yet I haven't given him any). Another possible outcome, which I found to be more interesting and useful, is Mirrors, which was used for Tioga (and that was especially useful against the 6th Death General). Mirrors are commonly used when creating optical illusions.

Q: Why did you pair Zatch/Gash Bell and Penny/Patie? Why not Zatch with any other girl? [Added December 3, 2018]
A: I may be a bit biased as its personally my favorite pairing. I know there are people that prefer Zatch x Tia or Zatch x Kolulu, both of which I had tried to do at least once in each versions. Zatch x Tia in the original version and Zatch x Kolulu in my remade version (but at this point, I wish I did young Zatch x Tia in my remake's Chapter 16 Alt instead of young Zatch x Kolulu as I had some adult Zatch x Kolulu in the main storyline after the death of the queen in Ch. 7 Remake). Penny/Patie may be known to be a yandere in the anime/manga, but I wanted to give her some serious character development. It's obvious that Zatch/Gash is not the romantic type in the original anime/manga and making him one is very difficult and my approach was making him feel lonely, depressed, and unloved, but I still felt like I did a rushed job in the remake doing their initial relationship development (it was only a setup chapter that's mostly skippable). I forgot to mention this in Answer A-2 of "Why did you expand and remake your fanfic?" because writing a better relationship development was another reason why I remade my fanfic. Anyway, electricity and water just has a good chemistry and has a good theme to it. Thunder, Rain, and Lightning. That's what gave birth to Raiden (his name meaning "Thunder and Lightning" in Japanese) and Rain's names. They really make a great pair of brothers with contrasting personalities, which made it a more interesting story for me that if I were to do Zatch x Kolulu or Zatch x Tia children (which I have done in my original version's Ch. 15-3 Alt and the spin-off).

Q: Have you cried writing any of your chapters? [Added December 3, 2018]
A: Yes. Among the first storyline, writing Chapter 7 and the Chapter 15-3 Alt made me cry as I was writing them. In the remade storyline, knowing what I was going to write, I thought I was going to stay strong, but I shed a few tears in Chapter 7 and trying to write Chapter 16's Alt (counterpart to Ch. 15-3 Alt) destroyed my eyes (not literally, but heavy tears!), making it more dramatic than Chapter 15-3's Alt. Just imagining the scenes alone in my head as I was writing those tragic chapters while listening to sad anime/video game music like Naruto's "Sadness and Sorrow" and Kingdom Hearts II "Roxas' Theme" really made me tear up. I wasn't sad to write them (actually, I kind of was, but I was also excited to write them), but they were bringing emotions to me when I was trying not to. The feels! Who knew such imagination can simulate/emulate (which word should I use?) tearing and overwhelming facial emotions. (I resisted from tearing up, writing this question, lol)

Q: Will you be returning to the Zatch Bell! fandom? [Added December 19, 2018]
A: In late November, after receiving fanart, I was going to but things happened and I am much likely less. But I'll still update the homepage content of the Zatch Bell! Wiki every month (but I'm usually late doing that). By the way, did I forget to mention that I currently adopted that Wiki?

Q: Wait, you own that Wiki? [Added December 19, 2018]
A: As of June 1, 2014, since the other admins were inactive at the time, I was working on that Wiki as a contributor but there were things I couldn't do as a normal contributor (such as blocking vandals who are ruining the Wiki) which is why I adopted the Wiki (but one of the admins did come back in the recent year and I noticed all other admins lost their adminship in the adoption process...I gave it to them back when I was informed). I did a lot of work on that Wiki and updated the Episode Guides and Manga Chapters Guides pages and expanded support of Zatch Bell! cards up until mid-2018. However, the Wiki to this day is still very well incomplete. I'm just one person and I can't create pages for every episode, manga chapter, and trading cards, especially with how busy I am with my other projects. I'm hoping someone can help grow the Wiki for me and I'll be willing to give any hardworking contributors adminship if they prove their worth. If anyone can go through every anime episode and complete Wiki articles based on them or read all manga chapters and make pages for them, they definitely deserve adminship for the amount of work they'll be putting in.

Q: Are fan content allowed on the Zatch Bell Wiki? [Added December 19, 2018]
A: Okay, we are getting a bit off-topic from my fanfic buuut, this is technically still on-topic. I made a poll some on August 2017 asking people if we should allow fan pages on the Wiki, similar to how the Digimon Wiki handles fan content. The majority of votes says "no", but to take consideration with the rest of the votes, I'll still allow fan content within user profile pages at the minimum (except for posting fan images but I'm still questioning about the fan scanlations of the ZB! cards on the Wiki). Any fan content found outside someone's profile page or outside the fanfic forums may be deleted (without warning), but fanfics will be renamed to "Forum:[pagetitle]" and will be given the Fan Fiction category if it hasn't already had it (but it won't show up among the Fan Fiction forum topics for whatever reason).

Q: Do you have a Wiki specifically for Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army [Added December 19, 2018]
A: No, but I thought about making one a couple of times. At the time, I thought about making a Wiki based on my fanfic but that would mean I would have to do a lot more work and writing character profiles within my ZB! Wiki Profile page was time-consuming enough and it just gets straight to the point on whatever you may be looking for about my characters and returning characters.

Q: Do you ship any of your characters? [Added December 19, 2018]
A: Just the ones that I established in my fanfic. Rain Bell x Tiara, Nekolas x Haria, and the Starlily Sisters x Snapdragon Brothers (minor characters in The Fallen King arc and I do ship the brothers and sisters in both ways but prefer their original lovers). But I am fine with any fan shipping as long as it's not an old person with a young person, as that makes me very uncomfortable, as well as incest (excluding deities in my fanfic as that was normal/traditional for deities in Roman/Greek mythologies and in some countries..... Boy, was that embarrassing for me write the relation of Mars x Venus in my fanfic... Half-siblings married to each other... ). Haven't really thought about the other divine couples. Even though I'm only making my main man Raiden single, he is often shipped with multiple characters including Pancho, Nekolas, and Haria, which is completely fine. I still smile when I see these kinds of fanart. Also, I do ship canon characters with canon characters and fan characters with fan characters, which is why there aren't any canon characters with fan characters in my fanfic (but I don't mind if people make fanart between canon x OC).

Q: Do you regret killing or not killing any of your characters or Raiku's characters? [Added January 6, 2019]
A: I don't regret killing any characters in the way they died, even my favorite characters (even in my alt. chapters). Besides, I made a Spirit World for the dead; just because they are dead doesn't mean that no longer have relevance and I made a few dead villains and heroes useful. However, at this point, I wish I killed my main OC Raiden Bell. It probably would have been anti-climatic for him to go out the way he almost did in Chapter 15-8, but at the same time, it would show how much a threat the Four Great Demons Lords really is, even without using half of their power. But I also wanted to display the power of the archangels, even Venus. Now I'm kind of having mixed feelings on what I should have done for Raiden but I'll stick with what I've written.

Q:  Where is the first version of your fanfic? I can't find it on DeviantArt, your Blogger, or FanFiction.NET. [Added February 26, 2022]
A: I've always wanted to archive it since it's kind of pointless to read unless you want to compare it to my remake so instead of deleting it all entirely, I put the DeviantArt version into "storage", backed up all my chapter files of FanFiction.NET and deleted my first version's story on FanFiction.NET afterward (I really wanted to do that a long time ago), and deleted the chapters from my Blogger. Instead, I put my back-ups of them (the superior Blogger/DeviantArt versions as .PDFs + the inferior FanFiction.NET versions as .HTMs) in a .ZIP archive folder.

Q:  An official Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash!! sequel was announced! Are you gonna check it out? What will happen to your fanfic? (Makoto Raiku's teaser - Comicbook News) [Added February 26, 2022]
A: While I am aware, I have no interest in checking it out. I didn't even feel hyped when I heard about it.

As for my Golden Gash!! Demon Revolution Army fanfic, I purposely made that as a non-canon fan sequel to the original manga's ending (and to test my writing skills) and with an official sequel apparently on its way (I think it's a sequel), it's gonna debunk my fanfic's story just like Naruto Shippuden debunked my very first planned fanfiction series Naruto: Ryūden. For now, I have archived the first/obsolete version of my GG!DRA fanfic but I am also thinking about doing the same with my remade version if an official sequel does come out.

Q:  Do you dislike Zatch Bell!/Konjiki no Gash!! now? [Added February 26, 2022]
A: No, I am just indifferent now. I used to be a fanboy but all that fanboy-ness completely drained away in 2018, as I said before. Taking my nostalgia goggles off and looking at the series from a different perspective, it's an "all right/good" series (7/10), but not amazing like Attack on Titan (my current favorite anime/manga series and before it, Naruto was my favorite anime/manga series).  My fanboy-ness only came from my love of electrical powers and dragons. But I do admit that I really did have a lot of fun between 2014 and 2017. But once I got burnt out in 2018, I have later made attempts into getting back into the series but depressing things have happened and it had been too difficult getting back into the series since then. It's just not a series for me anymore and I have moved on to other things. But I am temporarily back just to archive my fanfic and make updates like these.

• UPDATE #101 (December 27, 2016, 12:58 a.m. EST): Chapter 23 (or The Fallen King Chapter 1) is completed. This may be the only time I link to a completed Fallen King chapter in this new story arc (I could change my mind at any time since I do that a lot). It will be a very long time until I decide to publish it on DeviantART and FanFiction.NET and I won't be publishing it until I'm either ready to publish it after writing enough chapters to be comfortable to publish or until I write all chapters, which is why I'm revealing the link to this chapter if you want to read the prologue to this new story arc (also because I made you guys wait too long). Enjoy how little Zatch/Gash Bell lives his life after the events of Remake: Chapter 16b. If you want to read future chapters, see future artwork, or see my entire plot or character profiles of The Fallen King, look through a link in my other Update Journals to find a link to my Zatch Bell! Sta.sh folder (I'm not posting the link here since I don't want everyone to spoil people but only those who are very curious enough to hunt them down).
• UPDATE #102 (January 18, 2017, 12:15 p.m. EST): I finished Chapter 24 (TFK Chapter 2) yesterday. I could have finished it much sooner but I've been so busy making YouTube videos ever since New Years Day and I was drawing characters while making this chapter (I drew four new characters and I still have to draw three more that I introduced in Chapter 24). I was going to link my chapter, then I realized I posted I will not link any more chapters in Update #101. Welp, I did want to make my Fallen King story arc free from spoilers but if you can find a link within my other update journals, you could see everything I wrote and drawn so far so go hunt that down if you are curious on what I wrote this chapter.
  
• UPDATE #103 (February 16, 2017, 11:18 p.m. EST): Oops, I forgot to mention on February 8, 2016 that I completed Chapter 25 (TFK Chapter 3). I just finished four new character drawings as of today and I'll proceed with Chapter 26 (TFK Chapter 4) tomorrow. I pretty much finished drawing all of my new antagonists (most of them until I write more chapters; SLIGHT SPOILER). This is going pretty well. Well, starting on TFK Chapter 4 and onward, I can imagine things getting A LOT MORE COMPLICATED for me but it's a good thing I planned out on things I wanted to write each chapter but I wonder how lengthy they would be (like I feel like some of them will end up being short chapters). EDIT (February 18, 2017, 2:05 p.m. EST): Never mind. I forgot that I pretty much already wrote a full chapter of TFK Chapter 4 (I just need to extend it with extra words and stuff... better writing...) I also wrote a long summary for TFK Chapter 5, 6, and 7 but I only made short summaries for TFK Chapter 8 and onward so those ones will be really complicated/complex to write and I would have to expand with new ideas for those upcoming chapters.
  
• UPDATE #104 (February 20, 2017, 12:46 p.m. EST): I finished Chapter 26 (TFK Chapter 4) yesterday along with a new character drawing. Pretty quick chapter since I already wrote a full summary (I just had to make it more literate). In the previous update when I said TFK Chapter 4 and onward will be a lot more difficult. Actually, starting from TFK Chapter 7 (or 8) and onward may be more difficult since I already wrote full summaries for TFK Chapters 3-6 (I just need to detail them further). Although, I have stated that TFK Chapter 4 and onward will be difficult (when it should be TFK Chapter 5 and onward) since I'm going into new territory with these upcoming chapters, trying to figure out how things will go in case if I want to change things that I have written in my summaries when I come to a conflict that may affect my previous chapters. Maybe I'm just overexaggerating. But once I write TFK Chapter 5, oh boy, I'm going to have SO MANY CHARACTERS TO DRAW since I'm going to introduce a whole lot of new characters in TFK Chapter 5, it will be a while until I start TFK Chapter 6 once I get through TFK Chapter 5. However, before I do get to TFK Chapter 6, after I do TFK Chapter 5 and character drawings, I might start releasing chapters (I might release up to 3 or 4 chapters just in case if I want to go back and make changes before releasing those).
  
• UPDATE #105 (February 28, 2017, 11:58 p.m. EST): The first 1/3rd of my Fallen King story arc is finally done Chapter 27 (TFK Chapter 5) is finally done. I got about five new characters to draw that are in this chapter (I'm glad I introduced some characters that I originally would have introduced in this chapter... to a previous chapter so that I don't have to draw 8+ characters). After once I draw those new characters and start Chapter 28 (TFK Chapter 6, with at least the summary description and recap), I'll re-read everything I wrote from TFK Chapter 1-5 when I don't feel like writing TFK Chapter 6, then I'll submit Chapters 1-3 in three day intervals of each other. Reason why I'm holding off on Chapters 4 & 5 from submission (or just at least Chapter 5 as I may possibly still release Chapter 4) is because I'm trying to stay cautious/careful with my story and I don't want to end up making a paradox I don't want in case if I try to get around something. While I have written summaries for each chapter, I don't know what I should do to each chapter (except for the ones I've already made a full written chapter, basically, but even I made changes to what I originally wrote for TFK Chapter 5). Have patience. I'll try to draw all the new characters from the new chapter I've written. It may take me a week to do (more or less). Then I'll re-read what I have written in my completed chapters and start submitting them while I work on TFK Chapter 6.
  
• UPDATE #106 (March 5, 2017, 9:54 p.m. EST): I'm done drawing all six new characters that will be in Remake: Chapter 27 (TFK Chapter 5) of my Zatch Bell! fan fiction remake expansion and I posted one of them on DeviantART (SPOILERS! But it was an unseen character mentioned in my older chapters). I'll be re-reading my chapters for proofreading and possibly story improvements, then I'll be submitting them in a three-day interval but I may hold off on TFK Chapter 4 or 5 until I at least finish write TFK Chapter 6 and maybe 7. I want to be sure I have my story correct since I don't want to make major updates after submissions. EDIT (March 6, 2017, 2:06 a.m. EST): Actually, before I start re-reading my chapters, I'm going to create a new story icon/wallpaper... cover art for my new story arc, replacing my other one for this story arc since the old characters in my old cover art will not be in this story arc (except for a few).
  
• UPDATE #107 (March 8, 2017, 10:24 p.m. EST): Chapter 23 (TFK Chapter 1) IS FINALLY RELEASED!!! It's here, it's finally here! Also released a character drawing and the cover art for my new fanfic story arc (hopefully I don't need to update my cover art if something were to go wrong). Next chapter will be released in 3 more days. In the meantime, I really need to work on Chapter 28 (TFK Chapter 6) and newer chapters quicker. I also wonder if I should make a new Wiki subpage within my Zatch Bell! Wiki profile page or create a whole new Wikia site altogether but now's not the time to decide; I'll have to hold off on character profiles until I'm completed.
  
• UPDATE #108 (March 11, 2017, 12:37 p.m. EST): Chapter 24 (TFK Chapter 2) is released along with five six character designs for that chapter. I finished writing and extending Chapter 28 (TFK Chapter 6) and just made a literature journal for Chapter 29 (TFK Chapter 7).
  
• UPDATE #109 (March 14, 2017, 12:00 a.m. EDT): Chapter 25 (TFK Chapter 3) is released. While I did introduce new characters in this chapter, I'm going to keep them anonymous (but I do have links for the characters within the chapter) since I didn't properly introduce them. I may submit my new characters another time (maybe later, but I want people to read the chapter first without spoiling who they are). Also, this might be the last chapter I upload until I advance further into writing my fan fiction because TFK Chapter 4 will be having lots of information to what I will be doing in my fan fiction and if something goes wrong as I write in my fan fiction, it will create paradoxes/plot holes with TFK Chapter 4 being the bare minimum of affection. I'll publish TFK Chapter 4 once I'm comfortable enough to publish it but I may make TFK Chapter 5 on hold from releasing until I'm done writing this fanfic expansion. EDIT (10:39 p.m. EDT of the same day): I'm pretty much done writing Chapter 29 (TFK Chapter 7) of my Zatch Bell! fanfic remake's expansion. I had fun writing this chapter. Lots of action and backstory (spoilers) for this particular chapter. I've got 3 4 new characters to draw (I already drew one of them during the chapter and EDIT: I forgot to draw someone in Ch. 6). And what I meant by "pretty much," I wrote a lot of stuff and I wonder if I should save some of the text I wrote in this chapter for the next chapter or keep it merged in this chapter, for climax or cliffhanger purposes. Also, since I don't plan on publishing TFK Chapter 4 anytime soon, for cautiousness with my story, I'll link you guys to what I have written in that chapter so far and I already proofread grammar in it.
• UPDATE #110 (March 19, 2017, 1:19 a.m. EDT): HOLY CRUD! I already finished writing Chapter 30 (TFK Chapter 8) of my Zatch Bell! fanfic remake's expansion in a single day. I spent my entire day writing this chapter and I had lots of fun. Well, when I said I finished, I think I'm finished for now unless if I plan on extending it, but that depends on the length of Chapter 31 (TFK Chapter 9). Once I get this sub-arc finished (Chapters 6-10), I might be safe enough to submit Chapter 26 (TFK Chapter 4) and Chapter 27 (TFK Chapter 5) without any problems/paradoxes (I'll link those chapters as earlier readers as of this point but don't expect the text to be the same when I submit them as I may or may not still make changes to them).
  
• UPDATE #111 (March 22, 2017, 11:43 p.m. EDT): I think I'm done writing Chapter 31 (TFK Chapter 9) of my Zatch Bell! fanfic remake's expansion. Not sure if I should extend it any long (it's actually at a good length for once) or save what I have planned on writing for the next chapter since I don't want to create a second part to TFK Chapter 9 (and I feel like TFK Chapter 10 will be a really long chapter, for once). I wonder if I should start submitting TFK Chapters 4 & 5 at this point or wait until after TFK Chapter 10 but I'll have to re-read them to make sure I am 100% accurate to what I have written so far. This story arc has been really fun; complicated but fun.
  
• UPDATE #112 (March 29, 2017, 11:54 a.m. EDT): Okay, I think I'm done writing Chapter 32 (TFK Chapter 10) of my Zatch Bell! fanfic remake's expansion (took me 5 days but this was a hard chapter to write), which means, it's time to do some character drawings for this new chapter, as well as re-reading TFK Chapter 4 & 5 (I think I already did those, at least for Chapter 4, but I'll re-read them again) to proofread grammar (even further), then I'll submit those chapters. I think I am comfortable enough to release TFK Chapters 4 & 5 without making post-publish major fixes/changes after I re-read them and fix them beforehand.
  
• UPDATE #113 (March 30, 2017, 7:45 p.m. EDT): I re-read TFK Chapter 4 & 5 and made fixes to them. It's a good thing I did that before submitting TFK Chapter 4, which is out now! I also released five character drawings (one of them is new to this chapter while the other four were mysterious characters from the previous chapter, which is why I held off from submitting those drawings until now).
  
• UPDATE #114 (April 15, 2017, 9:30 p.m. EDT): I'm finally done writing Chapter 32 (TFK Chapter 11) of my Zatch Bell! fanfic remake's expansion and I drew one new character so far (and I think I got one or two more characters to draw). Phew! I wrote a lot of different things in this chapter and I managed to get a lot of things written that has been in my imagination for ages and I had fun writing them but even so, this was a very complicated chapter to write since there are so many different events happening in this chapter at once but I managed to finish two of them. While I did say I won't post spoilers (which, I am not posting any major spoilers), I have tied many things from my Revolution from the Dead story arc into this chapter, which answers some of the things from that story arc that were left to be questioned until now. And this final sub-arc (TFK Chapters 11-15) will be answering those. EDIT (10:19 p.m. EDT): Oops. The chapter is much bigger than I imagined, it actually exceeded beyond the 64 kilobyte limit on DeviantART. At first, I decided to chop down some unnecessary words to try to fit within the 64 kb limit but it wasn't enough so... looks like I have no choice but to separate this chapter into two parts and the DeviantART title (once I submit it) will be entitled "GG!!: Demon Revolution Army (rmk) [Ch.33a-TFK11a]" for the first half and "GG!!: Demon Revolution Army (rmk) [Ch.33b-TFK11b]" for the second half... I hate character limits.
  
• UPDATE #115 (May 4, 2017, 1:44 a.m. EDT): IT'S ABOUT TIME! Chapter 34 (TFK Chapter 12) of my Zatch Bell! fan fiction remake's expansion is finally finished. This was a REALLY HARD AND COMPLICATED chapter to right that I took lots of breaks trying to figure out what to do as I was constantly getting stuck on what I should right next since there are so many different things that were happening in these last few chapters. Took me 2 weeks to write this chapter. Anyway, next chapter that I will write [SOMEWHAT SPOILERY] will be a full backstory/flashback chapter. Time to do some character drawings from this chapter first. 3 more chapters! (maybe)
  
• UPDATE #116 (May 25, 2017, 11:34 a.m. EDT): I think I'm done with Chapter 35 (TFK Chapter 13) of my Zatch Bell! fanfic remake's expansion. Going well so far. I still got to finish with my character drawings for TFK Chapter 12 and for this chapter.
  
• UPDATE #117 (June 28, 2017, 11:44 a.m. EDT): I think I finished Chapter 36 (TFK Chapter 14) of my Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen Kingfan fiction. This felt like it was dragging forever with no end and I had many breaks but had done some things in some days but I think I found a good spot (a cliffhanger) to end the chapter. That means I can do TFK Chapter 15 and end the fanfic with that final chapter but before I do the final chapter, I'll read what I wrote for Chapters 6-10 (to make fixes/changes before submission), then I'll post them. Might take me a few days to read those chapters but I am glad to say: It is probably safe enough for me to publish my next 5 chapters after all this time. I may be in a good spot without having to make plot paradoxes when writing my final chapter. Thank you all for being patient this far and I apologize if I took too long to write TFK Chapter 14.
  
• UPDATE #117 (July 5, 2017, 12:13 a.m. EDT): So far, I only read through the things I've written in Chapter 28 (TFK Chapter 6) and Chapter 29 (TFK Chapter 7) and I am lagging behind since I was busy trying to figure out something else for many hours but it's finally here. Chapter 28 (TFK Chapter 6) of my Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King IS.... FINALLY... RELEASED!!!! Expect TFK Chapter 7 in three more days as I'm releasing these in 3-day intervals (and I hope I can read TFK Chapters 8-10 before then as I don't want to be late with those).
  
• UPDATE #118 (July 8, 2017, 1:32 a.m. EDT): Chapter 29 (TFK Chapter 7) of my Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King fanfic is released. From here on out, this series is going to get REALLY DARK (and it was already dark enough, to begin with).
  
• UPDATE #119 (July 11, 2017, 5:24 p.m. EDT): Sorry I'm hours late (I forgot) but here is Chapter 30 (TFK Chapter 8) of my Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King fanfic expansion. I only did one drawing for a few of my new characters in this chapter for now because, to be honest, I didn't feel like drawing another Royal Knight at the time (and I was originally going to keep him anonymous but... I eventually gave that twelfth Royal Knight a name a few days ago). I might draw him another time. Maybe... EDIT (5:39 p.m. EDT): Oops, that twelfth Royal Knight will actually be shown in a flashback in the next chapter and was just mentioned in this chapter. Just some non-caring spoilers.
  
• UPDATE #120 (July 14, 2017, 12:40 p.m. EDT): Chapter 31 (TFK Chapter 9) is up. 1 more chapter left until the end of this sub-arc (and then there are only 5 more chapters left). I wrote a little bit for TFK Chapter 15 tonight but I'm still trying to figure out how I should really start the chapter off and how I want to end it since I'm trying to make it my final chapter, trying to wrap things up. Anyway, for TFK Chapter 9, I did introduce a new Royal Knight in this chapter (one that I don't really care about as it's only in a flashback) but I still have yet to draw him (I still don't know if I want to).
  
• UPDATE #121 (July 17, 2017, 12:29 p.m. EDT): Chapter 32 (TFK Chapter 10) of my Golden Gash!!: Demon Revolution Army II - The Fallen King fanfic expansion is up. Last chapter of this sub-arc. 5 more chapters to go. I'm still working on TFK Chapter 15 but this will be a toughy. I made some progress yesterday. Anyway, my 3-day interval upload session is over until I finish this final chapter.
• UPDATE #121 (August 6, 2017, 1:21 a.m. EDT): YEEEEEEESSSS!!! I'm finally done writing the FINAL CHAPTER OF MY ZATCH BELL! FANFIC EXPANSION!!!!
  I spent the entire day finishing this chapter and it's been SO MUCH FUN. A lot of dark stuff but to end up with some comedy. Spoilers.  Anyway, I gotta re-read all that I have read but if you guys want to see the rest of my fan fiction NOW, as well as my unpublished character drawings until I start re-reading them for grammar issues and stuff prior to uploading them every 3 days, I'll put it........................................... HERE! GET THE DRAFTS HERE!!!!!
  
• UPDATE #122 (August 10, 2017, 12:14 a.m. EDT): CHAPTER 33 (TFK Chapter 11 - Parts A and B) is finally released in TWO PARTS! Next chapter will be in three more days (once I finish reading it). I'm gonna say one thing, this story arc is gonna have plot twists!
  
• UPDATE #123 (August 22, 2017, 12:07 a.m. EDT): THE FINAL CHAPTER OF MY ZATCH BELL! FAN FICTION REMAKE EXPANSION IS FINALLY UP!!!! YAAAAAAAAYYY!  Part 1, Part 2
  IT'S FINALLY OVER! MY FAN FIC IS COMPLETE!!!!
  Though, there are still some characters to draw (especially within the last few chapters including this one but I don't feel like drawing them at the moment). Also, I forgot to update this journal when I posted my other chapters. Oh, well.
  
• UPDATE #124 (December 28, 2017, 11:54 a.m. EST): Now that I got myself a CORE membership once more, I updated my Zatch Bell! Rai'oh journal skin (THIS SKIN!) with a list of all chapters I've written and deleted the chapter list in the description area of my chapters. Now I can say for certain that I am 100% complete with my Zatch Bell! fanfiction entirely on DeviantA--Wait, never mind, still not a 100% yet as there are still a few side OC's I still have yet to draw that I haven't felt like it. Umm... I don't know if I will ever do that, though. Maybe, as sometimes I do get that feeling I should get it over with.
• UPDATE #125 (November 25, 2018, 5:06 p.m. EST): I FINALLY MADE A DISCORD SERVER FOR MY ZB! FANFIC!!!!
  
• UPDATE #126 (November 26, 2018, 12:15 p.m. EST): [Classified as of March 7, 2019]
  
•  UPDATE #127 (March 7, 2019, 12:57 p.m. EST): Removed unnecessary/filler-ish scenes from the Chapter 1 Remake just to get directly to the main plot. Also, I decided to shut down my Discord server some time ago. There wasn't much activity and before shutting down, I let everyone in the server know and the majority were fine with it. However, if anyone wishes for me to restore my Discord server, with enough votes, I'll recreate it (I did backup all of my information as images and text files).
