Battle B-Daman was a Merchandise Driven anime about a boy named Yamato Delgado who wants to become the best at a game called B-Daman. Yamato obtains a special B-Daman "blaster" named Cobalt Blade, which an evil organization called the Shadow Alliance plans to steal.The show ran for 1 season in America (2 in Japan). However B-Daman did not meet as much success as it was expected.The show had two spinoff Gameboy Advance titles, which sold poorly because they were released after the Nintendo DS made the Gameboy obsolete.Here's the Character Page.
Big Brother Instinct: Pretty much all the characters feel this (in varying degrees) towards Liena, especially Gray, who is her brother. Also Wen towards Li.
Break the Cutie: Poor little Enju was forced to take a dive on each of his battles so his dad could pay for their rent. At the Junior B-Daman Tournament he was disqualified after unfairly being accused of cheating due to his refusal to repeat his past life, thus being betrayed by his only friend, Enju took out his anger on his father in a B-daBattle, resulting him into changing his hair from blue to red and changing from timid and meek to cold and ruthless.
As a child, Cain went through training of his strict father, turning him egocentric and power hungry.
Freudian Excuse: Cain had an strict father, Enju was betrayed by everyone and for a much more lighthearted example, Yamato, who was raised by cats.
Gender Bender: Ababa the cat was turned into a male while under Marta B's control. She turns back into a female after being released from mind control.
Love Martyr: Liena continues to long for Enju, who clearly is interested in B-da battling and becoming stronger.
Joshua in the first season. He was fine with Cain's arrogant attitude because he remembers a time when his master was kind. Unfortunately, he broke down after Cain dared to destroy a marble that he gave Joshua when they were kids, which lead to Joshua to betray Cain in order to return him to his old kind self. He succeeds.
No Guy Wants To Be Chased: Gunnos has a disliking for Hana after the latter shown him a bug. However he promised her that he will win for her father out of courtesy.
