Episode 106

**Put into a Pinch. Q’s Counterattack! The Suppression of Every Spell!?** (*ピンチ到来 逆襲のQ! 全呪文封殺!?,Pinchi Tōrai Gyakushū no Kyū! Zenjubon Fūsatsu!?*) is the 106th episode of the Konjiki no Gash Bell!! Anime. This episode first aired in Japan on May 8, 2005.

## Overview

Despite Coral Q’s quirky nature and unassuming appearance, he proves himself to be a formidable opponent to Gash and Kiyomaro as he is aware of all of their spells. During their battle, Coral Q not only overwhelms the pair with the power of his spells, but he also makes it evident to them that he is capable of both countering and suppressing nearly every spell they have.

## Plot

During their battle, Coral Q informs Gash and Kiyomaro that he had been observing them and their other allies for some time as part of his plan to defeat them all. While Coral Q boldly claims that there is nothing the two of them can do to defeat him, Kiyomaro remembers how much Coral Q cried in pain when he was attacked by *Zakeruga* despite being in his battle transformation. Realizing Coral Q is bluffing, Kiyomaro repeatedly casts *Zakeruga* on him. As expected, Coral Q is still harmed by the spell, proving Kiyomaro’s theory to be correct. Feeling defeated, Coral Q suggests to his partner that they surrender to them but Grub reminds Coral Q that there’s no reason to as his current battle form is not the spell that defends against *Zakeruga*. Remembering they still have more spells they can use, Coral Q’s becomes confident and declares once again to Gash and Kiyomaro that they have no chance of winning the battle.

Grub casts *Ra Robogaruga*, transforming Coral Q into a different battle form. Gash and Kiyomaro once again use *Zakeruga* to attack but see that their spell is easily deflected off of Coral Q’s new form and they are attacked by their own spell. Following this up, they use *Bīzamu Roboruga* to attack and Kiyomaro and Gash then use *Rashirudo* to defend against it. Coral Q however separates *Bīzamu Roboruga* into two: one part that will destroy *Rashirudo* and the other part to attack Gash and Kiyomaro directly. Gash uses his body just in time though to take the blow of the attack and shield Kiyomaro from it. Realizing that Gash and Kiyomaro are stronger than their initial data showed, Grub decides that he needs to update the data on his handheld personal computer and increase Coral Q’s power through it. Grub tells Coral Q that this process will take about three minutes and that they cannot be attacked during that time. Coral Q hastily decides that they should retreat from the battle only to soon realize that this is not possible as he was the one who destroyed their escape route earlier.

Meanwhile, Sunbeam and Umagon run into Suzume Mizuno and she mentions to them that she had last seen Kiyomaro and Gash run off chasing after a flying yellowtail. Knowing that this flying yellowtail was part of a trap to lure Kiyomaro and Gash, Sunbeam tries to ask Suzume for which way the two of them ran in but is unable to get a clear answer from her due to her poor sense of direction. Luckily, Umagon suggests to Sunbeam that he should be able to find them. Umagon leads the way and Sunbeam follows just behind him. During the ongoing battle, Grub uses the same flying yellowtail to distract Gash once again in order to buy him and Coral Q some time to update their data. Once complete, Coral Q receives a 30% increase in power which Grub believes is more than enough for them to defeat Gash and Kiyomaro with ease.

Before Coral Q could attack first, Gash and Kiyomaro use *Jikerudo* on him. With Coral Q’s body magnetized, all the steel construction material in their surroundings begin to be pulled towards him. Before this happens, Grub casts *Muromu Roboruku* which conveniently turns Coral Q’s body into rubber which deflects all of the incoming construction material. With *Jikerudo* being of no use, Kiyomaro casts *Rauzaruku* to enhance Gash’s strength and speed to fight Coral Q directly. In respons to this, Grub casts *Digou Roboruku*, which gives Coral Q another battle form to counter Gash’s *Rauzaruku*. When the two of them engage in combat, it becomes evident that not only is Coral Q able to outspeed Gash, but overpower him as well. With another spell of theirs countered, Kiyomaro realizes that the only two spells that they can rely on with any hope of winning are *Zaguruzemu*  and  *Baou Zakeruga*.
