About This Fan Project
ZatchBellTCG.com is being rebuilt as a non-commercial historical archive and community resource, not as a revival of the former official Bandai website.
Reconstructed
A careful summary assembled from partial evidence. The site will explain what is inferred and what remains unknown.
Contributed
New scans, photos, recollections, or corrections supplied by fans, retained with permission and contributor credit.
Archive status
Restored now, still growing
- Searchable indexes now cover cards, images, stores, and forums.
- The contribution workflow keeps sources, permission, and credit.
- A read-only archive now exposes 3,824 recovered text fragments from 216 threads without inventing authors or chronology.
- Maps and timelines remain planned for organized-play history.
- Downloadable research datasets will follow a final source audit.
Forum policy
Old appearance, modern separation.
The forum archive recreates the visual language of the original vBulletin community, but it does not run obsolete forum software and does not present recovered posts as new conversations.
If a live community forum is added, it will use supported software on a separate forums.zatchbelltcg.com host. New member content will remain visibly separate from the 2005-2007 record.
Rights and identity
Zatch Bell!, Konjiki no Gash!!, related characters, logos, card art, and historical promotional materials remain the property of their respective rights holders. Original commercial branding is displayed only where it documents the historical site or game. No affiliation or endorsement is claimed.
