Koral Q (コーラルＱ, Kōraru Q, also "Coral Q" but translated as "Koral Q" in the English Viz manga) and Grubb (グラブ, Gurabu, translated as "Glab" in a fan scanlation of Zatch Bell! The Card Battle) are a team encountered by Zatch and Kiyo. Koral Q has the rare ability to detect other Mamodo, and using this they have been spying on Zatch, his friends and the other Mamodo. His magic revolves around his transformations. Before meeting Zatch and Kiyo, Grubb was the way Kiyo was before meeting Zatch: High IQ, friendless, and no interest in making friends with anyone.
After Koral Q finds Zatch, Grubb creates a mechanical flying yellowtail in an attempt to attract Zatch and Kiyo to a bridge under construction, where they surprise Kiyo with a laser spell (Roboruga) and destroying part of the bridge, turning it to one with no exit. Koral Q reveals that he and his partner studied and researched many of the mamodo and even the 1000 Year Old Mamodo so that no one could defeat him. After a few tests, Kiyo thinks that he's lying, but Grubb starts using a series of spells that cancel theirs (they use Zakeruga, but it is reflected with La Robogargu). Angry of the fact that Koral Q had knowledge of the evil that Zofis was doing, and then did nothing to help, awakened Zatch's ability to read his opponents' attacks. This created an opening to land a hit with Zagurzem. Kiyo eventually figures that Zaguruzemu has a secondary effect that allows the creation of "chains". Kiyo uses the mirrors of Ganjido Roboron to form a chain and power up Bao Zakeruga. With the defeat, Koral Q then reveals some information about the strange huge structure from the Mamodo World and fades away, leaving Grubb alone. Back at his school, Grubb then starts making friends as Koral Q requested. Koral Q is one of the mamodo seen we see when Zatch gains the Golden Spellbook. We see him one last time in the Mamodo world as a truck moving rocks with Demolt. Grubb is one of the book keepers we see get a letter from their mamodo, as he reads his note we see him building a model plane.
Biography[]
Koral Q is a robot-like mamodo who has the ability to sense the presence of other mamodo, even if they're on the other side of the world. Grubb uses Koral Q’s ability combined with his incredibly high IQ to do research on each mamodo to then find its weak points or see how strong it is. Grubb is an extremely smart teenager who has an IQ of 190. Because of this he believes everyone around him is trash or below him because they aren’t as smart as him. After Koral Q is defeated in battle he begins opening up to people and making friends.
Description: Koral Q transforms into a strange flying mirror-like object that can generate mirror shields used to defend or attack.
