SynopsisIn the not too distant future, mankind battles over O-Parts, relics from an ancient civilization. It takes a special kind of person to unlock the full potential of these remnants from the past, and a unique breed of humans known as O.P.T.s (or O-Parts Tacticians) become a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, O-Parts can be used for good or evil purposes.
Jio is a young boy with a tragic past who only trusts one thing in the world: money. Little does he suspect that he is actually a very powerful O.P.T., and inside him sleeps a demon of incredible ferocity. He meets up with a girl named Ruby, and together they decide to embark on a dangerous quest to discover as many O-Parts as they can. Will Jio help Ruby realize her dream of becoming a world famous treasure hunter? More importantly, will Ruby help Jio realize his dream of--world domination?! (Source: Viz) |

666 Satan, written by Seishi Kishimoto (twin brother of Naruto's author Masashi Kishimoto), inspite of what it's title might make you think, is an tipical shounen series that tells the story of Jio Freed and Ruby Crescent and their quest to find legendary O-Parts ("magical" items left by an ancient civilization).
Even with this simple premise, 666 Satan has in fact a relatively complex plot, in this manga Seishi Kishimoto used various elements from religions all around the world, but most of all from Judaism (so, if you fell you might get offended or something, you shouldn't read this), to create a new world, that lives an constant conflict, derived from it's own history, and to make it more beliavable, it's filled with a great variety of towns, each with it's unique wheater, culture and what not. In fact the story itself deserves an perfect score, however, the way it was told wasn't flawless. The pace wasn't always well conduced by the author, rushing at crucial points, and taking a long time to finish arcs that weren't really that important. Although this new "world" created on 666 Satan is really great, the plot itself is quite predictable and filled with clichés (especially towards the end), borrowing elements from many other classic shounens, so, if you already have some "luggage" on the genre, you will be able to tell where the story is going at some points, which makes the experience of reading this manga much less enjoyable.
Given the fact that the Kishimoto brothers started drawing manga together, it's kind of a given that they would have a similar style. This tells all about the art in 666 Satan, it's exactly like Naruto's: simple and clean most of the times, but detailed in the most exciting moments (it gets specially good when he is drawing demons); with lots of varied landscapes; and girls with unusual faces.
By reading this manga I got the impression that in the author's mind, all girls fall in love extremely fast, ALWAYS. There is not one female character in the show that is not in love with someone (usually someone she meet a few days ago). Also, all the "romance" in the manga seems rushed: in one chapter the characters don't care/hate each other, in the next one they are completly in love, which pass a feeling that there is a missing chapter in there. Inspite of this unusual trait in the female characters, they, overall, have an quite captivating personality, even if sometimes they tend to fall back in the tipical shounen character (the same can be said about the male characters).
One of the highest points in this manga (and what makes up for some of it's defects) is basically the fights: as there are countless types of O-Part's, all fights are different from one another, giving the impression that the stronger O-Part or OPT doens't necessarily will win, it will depend on ability of each one to think of the better strategy to use his O-Part and the battleground in his favor, this dynamic makes most (if not all) the fight very entertaining and exciting.
Summarizing, if Seishi Kishimoto had written this manga with a little more experince (perhaps with one or two manga already published) he could have turned 666 Satan into an great shounen (on the same level of Bleach or Naruto), but nevertheless, he wrote a very good story that, even if it's not an "must read", it's recommended for every fan of the genre. read more

666Satan. When you first see that name you probably expect something really gory and R+ rated or something that you think will be totally NOT worth reading. How wrong you are....And let me tell you hat changed my mind :]
Story: Something quite captivating; the whole O-Parts concept,the other path of evolution and the Kabblah really are something different than what you usually read. Not too long and drawn out, the story is just the right size even having enough room for 3 time period looks( which all look awesome on the characters). The only thing that put me off was the clumped together information / battles. Maybe it's just a pet peeve but it slightly bothered me not seeing main characters for 3-4 (50 page long) chapters. Other than that, the plot really carries a deep meaning, sprinkled with those values that make us all go "Awww".The story is a 9.
Art: A lot of arguments can be brought up here as the style is VERY similar to that of Naruto. Yet you cannot call it a copy as in some parts it's actually better than Masashi's (I personaly think Seishi's post time-skip characters in some parts are superior to Masashi's). Anyway, the style fits the story like a glove on a hand. What made me from giving it a 10 was the sometimes corseness of the art, especially at the beginning. Other than that, in my opinion, it's actually a refreshing change compared to pretty-eyed, stylish and deatailed manga. You feel the rawness of power and action through the art and that draws out the full enjoyment. A 9.
Character: The strongest point in the manga, supporting the story 120% and fullfilling the arts expectations. All the characters have different pasts that are very often entertwined with others. All of them hold their own unique personalities and you can get a lot of enjoyment from any of them. This is probably the only manga where I don't have a hated(or deeply disliked) character. All of them show something to the reader and character interactions are simpy superb! The way they develop thoughout the story is also very believable and fitting so I think if you enjoy having a hard time choosing a favourite from a favourite, you should choose these guys. They deserve a 10!
Enjoyment: When sitting down to a chapter, you can feel the impatience bubbling inside of you, waiting to see what will happen next. And that is rightly so! I enjoyed many of the Ruby/Jio interactions (proabably 'cause I'm a romantic at heart), the O-Part battles, the steady unraveling of the plot. All of these factors made me read the story with feverish excitment and raised my enjoyment to one of the higest ones possible. I really got a full 10 out of the manga.
Overall: A manga worth the time and money. A bit of effort might be necessary to get into it (not to mention the english name isn't exactly flattering) but when you finaly get drawn into the story, it'll be very hard to withdraw. Shonen, Action, Supernatural, Spiritual and people can argue but I decide that there is definite Romance, this is a manga you really should pick up if you have the chance. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Thank you for reading my review and hope that you will read the manga if you have the chance! I hope it has been helpful! read more

the art is very similair to naruto, but is influcened by another aspects. It kinda looks like hunter x hunter/one piece/ naruto/dragonball. The hero is a young boy possessed by a great demon, just llike in naruto. They even have the same face expressions, though ruby the girl doesn't look like a naruto character. If you like naruto then 666 satan is a good manga for you, though naruto is much more complexed. 666satan has more action in the beginning, but naruto makes it up after the sasuke pursue arc. Final just read it kyoha
This is by Masashi's younger brother and about a boy who is possessed by Satan himself, as it brings him trouble throughout his life. This series is action-packed and fun for anyone over 13!
Written by twin brother of the guy who made Naruto. Both have main characters with a demon inside and both have gangs/organizations trying to capture the demons.
Naruto manga-ka's twin brother created 666 Satan and both Naruto and 666 Satan are quite similar in a few ways. In 666 Satan, Jio was never respected because of the 'devil' (or whatever) was inside of him. In Naruto, Naruto was never respected because of the Nine-Tailed fox that was sealed inside of him. Both of them also have a simliar art style. I wouldn't say that 666 Satan is a rip-off of Naruto because the manga-ka's were both inspired by the same things. Therefore, they are similar, but also different. Personally I prefer 666 Satan but opinions differ.
Same drawing style, shounen manga and some comedy in it too.
The manga is written by the twinbrother of the author of Naruto. The style is a bit the same and both stories are about a child with a monster living in their bodies. Both very good, too!
Made by two twins these mangas are similar in both ways. Firstly they deal with some fantasy worlds created by their authors, secondly main characters in those mangas has some evil creatures bounded with the main hero, thirdly almost the same time skip usage... And many others, not to mention similar art style and the fact that they're both shounen.

Previous work of the same author, similiar universe where they use O-parts instead of mystickers.
For starters; Blazer Drive is -same as 666 Satan -created by Seishi Kishimoto. For people who do not know; he is the brother of THE Kishimoto from Naruto. However, it would be unfair to say that he is the brother, as he has proven himself, as a mangaka and person. He, Seishi Kishimoto, is Seishi Kishimoto, and not 'just a brother'.
I was proven of this fact especially after reading the few chapters (for now) of Blazers Drive. 666 Satan had a lot of similarities to Naruto; that many (including me) framed him of being a copy cat. Even though I really like 666 satan.
However, in this newer manga, Seishi Kishimoto has put in a lot of effort into creating a new, unique story. It's about stickers with magical powers; and it's really 'cool'. You'll understand the 'cool' part after reading the manga. I can truly say that Blazers Drive resembles 666 satan in a lot of ways. But in my opinion; it is more original and better!
wow really similar they both use items(stickers and o parts) and battle people.
