But something is wrong. The book doesn’t speak Japanese or English. It speaks (Tagalog + English), mixed with lines from the old ABS-CBN/TV5 dub.
(The Return of the Mysterious Book) Logline: In a modern-day Philippines, a lonely boy named Kiyo finds a strange red book containing a thunder-wielding child named Zatch. Together, they must win a century-old battle of 100 demon children — but this time, the final battle has been rewritten, and only the Filipino dub’s original voice actors can unlock the true ending. Story Summary: It has been 10 years since the original Battle of 100 Mamodo ended. Kiyo Takamine, now a young linguistics professor, lives a quiet life in Manila after moving from Japan. He has buried his memories of Zatch — until one stormy night, the red book glows again.
