🤫 Meet Dr. Coral: Is He a Mentor or a Monster? 🤫
Tiger Barb's journey to the Japan School of Oceanography introduces him to his new teacher, the deeply intriguing Dr. Coral.

Dr. Coral is a brilliant mind in marine biology, but his appearance tells a troubling story: he suffers from a mysterious disease where actual coral is slowly consuming his skin.

He's a complicated, fascinating figure... and he's hiding a major secret.

What is he concealing under his lab coat?

Could the very disease that is consuming him be tied to the secrets of the ocean?

And most importantly: Could Tiger Barb's new teacher actually be a villain?

This is one of the biggest mysteries driving the plot of Tiger Barb Goes to Japan, and you won't want to miss how it unfolds!
