Introduced in Turbo

Main Characters

Aiga Akaba (Aiger Akabane)

Voiced by: Tomoko Ikeda (Japanese); Laura Stahl (English)

---

• The Ace: His return in Rise reestablishes him as the World Champion since his battle with Valt in the season 3 finale.
• Alliterative Name: Aiger Akabane
• Be Careful What You Wish For: When it's unknown who his title match will be against, Aiger states that he doesn't care who it is so long as they're strong. Cue Hyde.
• Big Eater: He managed to finish three bowls piled high with food by himself without breaking a sweat.
• Blood Knight: After his battle with Valt, Aiger goes on a journey to defeat as many opponents as possible, at one point racking up an 88 and then 100 winning streak. Becomes this even more so after his high resonance with Z Achilles begins to take him over.
• Breaking Old Trends: He is the first protagonist in the entire Beyblade anime, not just Burst but also the plastic generation, to not have an Attack-type bey. While he starts using Achilles as if he were one, he slowly starts branching out his strategies to include a defensive playstyle.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": He has an upside-down "A" on his jacket and one painted on his left cheek.
• The Bus Came Back: Returns in Rise #22 with his new Union Achilles.
• But Now I Must Go: Witnessing the destruction of Geist Fafnir at the hands of Phi & Dread Phoenix inspires him to go on a training journey in order to further strengthen the bond between him and Turbo Achilles.
• Catchphrase: He frequently states that he'll "blow everyone away".
• Character Development: Started off as rather cocky and big-mouthed and only played the sport to win, which was made worse by Phi's corruption. Fortunately, he comes to his senses and has gotten himself back on the right path to becoming a true Blader, with him being much friendlier, altruistic, and willing to listen to others.
• Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Is this to Valt. To wit:
  • Valt started as naïve, didn't even know how to launch properly, and had to grow bit by bit in his adventure -> Aiger is shown as a prodigy on his first try.
  • Valt had to slowly figure out how to understand his Beyblade's parts and abilities -> Aiger immediately knows how to make full use of the Xtend Tip.
  • Valt started as more interested in having fun rather than winning -> Aiger started as more obssessed with winning rather than having fun.
  • Valt is blue -> Aiger is red.
• Cool Big Bro: Naru sees him this way.
• Demoted to Extra: Since Dante is the main protagonist for Rise, Aiger is now a recurring character.
• Dub Name Change: Aiga Akaba —> Aiger Akabane in the dub.
  • And his Z Achilles' evolved form, Cho-Z Achilles —> Turbo Achilles.
• Expy: He's what Masamune would be as the protagonist.
• Facial Markings: See above.
• Fiery Redhead: He's a brunet, but his hair turns red during battle whenever he resonates with Achilles.
• Friend to All Living Things: He gushes over seeing a sheep while at Beigoma Academy. Justified in that he lived on a farm for most of his life. He also opts to sleep in a tent in the school's petting zoo instead of the dorms.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: His blue eyes glow when he's under the effects of dark resonance.
• Heroic BSoD: Gets one after being brought back to his senses after losing Z Achilles. Fortunately, he quickly snaps out of it.
• Hot-Blooded: He'll eagerly jump into a battle with anyone, no matter who it is.
• Humble Pie: Gets a HUGE slice of it after being purged of the dark power and having Z Achilles destroyed.
• Instant Expert: On Aiger's first attempt at Beyblade, he perfectly copies Valt's launch technique with no mishaps.
• Irony: After witnessing Phi shatter Vise Leopard, Aiger started training as hard as he could to protect Achilles from the same fate. Later, during a battle with Phi, Achilles does break due to the former forcing his Bey to fight beyond it limits.
• Jack of All Stats: Z Achilles is a Balance Type and is supposed to be this. However, Aiger uses it as if it were nothing but a pure Attack Type which leads to...
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: When Aiger doesn't know what else to do, he simply switches to Attack Mode to force the victory.
• Kid Hero: He replaces Valt as the new main protagonist for Turbo.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Him destroying Wonder Valtryek and refusing to believe Shu's explanation that he is hurting Achilles comes back to bite him HARD in Turbo #37.
• Logical Weakness: As with Turbo Valtryek and Spryzen, Achilles' "Turbo Awakening" gimmick can be nullified by pushing the Turbo Blades back in. See Valt and Shu's sections above.
• Mid-Season Upgrade: Two over the course of Turbo. First is an upgraded launcher set-up and the Xtend+ Chip, the latter of which changes Z Achilles from a Jack of All Stats style Balance Type to a Multiform Balance style Balance Type with an Attack, Defense and Stamina Mode. The second is the upgrade to Turbo Achilles with the Turbo Awakening System and the new Dimension tip with an Attack Mode and Balance Mode, with three height settings for each.
• My God, What Have I Done?: In Turbo #37, he realizes he pushed Achilles too far, leading to his Bey's destruction during his match with Phi.
• Nature Lover: When not helping out on his parent's farm, his preferred way of spending time was playing in the forest nearby. He first met Valt when he saved him from falling off a high cliff by swinging from a vine to catch him.
• New Transfer Student: Aiger transfers from his old town’s school to Beigoma, but only decides on staying if the bladers are worth his time, much to Toko and Nika’s exasperation.
• No Indoor Voice: Hardly an episode goes by when he isn't heard yelling.
• Our Spirits Are Different: As an avatar, Z Achilles is Aiger’s bey partner, but he’s one of the few spirits that visibly speaks to its owner in Burst.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: For someone who just recently started Beyblade, him racking up a 100-win streak is really saying something. Plus, he's as short as Valt was back in season 1.
• Poor, Predictable Rock: The main reason why he lost to Hyde twice in a row. He taunts Aiger and tricks him into keeping Achilles in Attack Mode out of anger, making Aiger predictable.
• Power Makes Your Hair Grow: When he gets really fired up in a battle, his hair comes loose, turns red, and grows wilder.
• Put on a Bus: Is replaced by Dante Koryu as season 4's main protagonist. However, he makes a cameo in the updated version of Rise's opening, and later returns in #22.
• Red Baron: The Crimson/Scarlet Supernova.
• Red Is Heroic: His bey and aura are red.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Valt's blue, in terms of both aura & bey colors and personalities.
• Signature Move:
  • For Z Achilles
    • Z Launch(Z Shoot): A standard angled launch to attack an opponent in the center of the stadium.
    • Z Breaker(Z Buster): With the Xtend Tip on its higher setting, Z Achilles attacks the opponent from a downward angle to circumvent some abilities of the opponent.
    • Z Defense: By spinning at high speed, Achilles uses its short edges to deflect incoming attacks and return damage.
    • Z Whip(Z Slash): With its tip set to lower mode, Achilles hits the opponent's bey head on, using its long, sword-like edge to slash across the opponent's layer.
    • Z Dive: Using the power from an opponent’s attack, Achilles flies into the air, using gravity to increase the speed and power of its fall to inflict massive damage on its opponent.
  • For Turbo Achilles(Choz Achilles) (not including the upgraded Turbo versions of the aforementioned moves)
    • Turbo Upper(Choz Upper): With Turbo Achilles in its lowest Attack Mode, it attacks the opponent from below.
    • Turbo Shield(Choz Shield): By ricocheting off a wall, Turbo Achilles tilts and defends against an Attack with the shield on its front face.
• Small Name, Big Ego: In his first few episodes, he couldn't go more than a minute without bragging about becoming the "strongest, most unbeatable" hero. Later on, he becomes more humble and grounded.
• Stronger Than They Look: Aiger has a surprising level of upper body strength, likely due to having spent his entire life swinging from treetops, climbing mountains, (etc.).
• Superpowered Evil Side: His high resonance with Achilles slowly begins to corrupt him, leading him to destroy Valt's Wonder Valtryek(Winning Valkyrie).
• Synchronization: Some time after being corrupted with the dark power, Aiger starts feeling Achilles' pain during battle, which he mistakes as a sign of true resonance. Only after Achilles' destruction is he forced to face the cold, hard truth: That said pain was not a mark of resonance, but a warning from Achilles that something was wrong.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: After developing his Superpowered Evil Side, Aiger becomes cockier and incredibly aggressive, throwing tantrums whenever he loses, refusing to see any fault on his end, and lashing out at his friends when they try to console or help him. However...
• Took a Level in Kindness: After being brought back to his senses (albeit after losing Z Achilles), Aiger is much more humble and willing to establish a proper bond with his new Turbo Achilles.
• Wrecked Weapon: Z Achilles is destroyed in a battle with Phi in episode 37. Fortunately, it is rebuilt an episode later into Turbo(Choz) Achilles.

Naru Akaba(ne)

Voiced By: Marina Inoue (Japanese); Christine Marie Cabanos (English)

Aiger’s younger sister and his centered voice of reason.

---

• Annoying Younger Sibling: Aiger views her as such sometimes.
• Big Brother Worship: She's very supportive of her brother and looks up to him.
• Curtains Match the Windows: Like her mother, Naru's hair is the same color as her eyes.
• Cheerful Child: She's very friendly, and happily helps her older brother care for the animals in the school's petting zoo.
• Farm Girl: Just like her brother, she grew up on a farm before his desire to become a Blader led them both to Beigoma.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She's the responsible to Aiger's foolish.
• Ms. Exposition: She explains the different Bey types to Aiger when he first creates Z Achilles.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's the blue to Aiger's red, both in temperament and in color scheme.
• Token Mini-Moe: The new adorable moe kid character for Turbo now that Toko and Nika are in middle school. Fittingly, she's also Aiger's sister.

Ranjiro Kiyama

Voiced by: Fumihiro Okabayashi (Japanese); Derek Stephen Prince (English)

---

• Benevolent Boss: He treats the other members of his Bey Club well, and they like him back.
• Big Brother Instinct: He himself isn't an older sibling, but he later becomes quite protective of Aiger, especially after the latter develops his Superpowered Evil Side.
• Big Brother Worship: He decided to take up Beyblading because of his older brother. The flashback in Turbo episode 3 implies that the two were very close.
• Blow You Away: Crash Roktavor's special move, Roktavor Typhoon, involves using its metal wings to generate upper force to repel opponents. The move itself is very similar to Rantaro's Roktavor Zone.
• Can't Catch Up: His primary arc in Surge. With Aiger and his brother, Rantaro both regarded as legends in the blading world, he's feeling left behind.
• Double Standard: He's perfectly fine with Aiger deliberately breaking Valt's Bey, but isn't okay when someone else does the same to Aiger.
• Dub Name Change: Not him, but his gang: Rebel Bey Gang —> Wild Bey Gang.
• Hammerspace: He often carries around a large comb that he seems to pull out of thin air, much like with his older brother. Apparently, pocket dimensions run in the family.
• Improbable Hairstyle: Where he gets strong enough hair gel (and how he affords it) to maintain that upright 'do of his will forever remain a mystery.
• The Knights Who Say "Squee!": He gets quite giddy upon seeing Shu in person in Turbo #35.
• The Leader: See below
• Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: The leader of one, the Wild Bey Gang. After Aiger defeats his gang members, he decides to teach Aiger a lesson.
• No Sympathy: He couldn't care less that Aiger broke Valt's bey, even telling those who were concerned to suck it up simply because Aiger still won.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: He's known as "Socho" in Japan. In the dub, everyone calls him "Cap'n".
• Oral Fixation: Like his brother, he's always seen with a lollipop in his mouth, albeit a green one.
• Put on a Bus: Not him, but his gang who doesn't appear with him during Surge.
• Signature Move: Alongside Roktavor Typhoon, Ranjiro developed a new special move, Hurricane Counter: Crash Roktavor uses its Reach Frame’s spikes to counterattack a Beyblade if it attempts to strike at a lower angle.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Save for the hair and bandage placement, he's the spitting image of his older brother, Rantaro.
• Throw the Dog a Bone:
  • After going on a rather long losing streak and being reduced to one star on the Battleship Cruise, he begins to lose confidence in himself when his next match is against Phi and Kyle, two Bladers he has already lost to before. He ends up winning the match (albeit because Phi lost on purpose while trying to unmask Kyle) and regains his confidence.
  • A better example is during the Ultimate Tag Series during the final arc of Surge. Him and Aiger were able to defeat Valt and Ranjiro, thus Rantaro finally gets his big win against his older brother.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Mentioned during his Spot the Imposter moment with Count Nightfell; curry with rice, hamburgers, and ramen.
• Worthy Opponent: During their battle, Ranjiro comes to view Aiger as a worthy rival. When he and Fubuki reject Aiger's idea of creating a strategy for the three to beat Lui, he's the first of the two to compromise on a solution.

Fubuki Sumiye

Voiced by: Rikuya Yasuda (Japanese); Billy Kametz (English); Zachary Young (English, Evolution ep. 51)

---

• The Bus Came Back: He returns in Turbo Episode #20, and later partakes in the Battleship Cruise tournament.
• Cheerful Child: As shown in the Evolution season finale, he was quite excitable when he was younger.
• Early-Bird Cameo: Months after the International Blader's Cup, a young Fubuki, implied to be a freshman at Beigoma, appears in the finale of season two, asking Shu if he could battle him.
• The Leader: He succeeds Valt as the new captain of the Beigoma Academy Bey Club.
• Last Episode, New Character: Appears at the end of the final episode of Evolution. Later becomes a main cast member in Turbo.
• Lightning Bruiser: For a Defense-type, Emperor Forneus is quite fast and nimble. Its special move, Emperor Guard, involves using its 12-bladed Layer to deflect attacks, and it can use the Yard tip's outer rim to drift about the stadium to build up speed and power for its other special move, Emperor Drift.
• Making a Splash: Since Forneus is often depicted as a sea monster in mythology, Emperor Forneus' avatar is a giant shark.
• Nice Guy: Once you get past his aloof exterior, he's a very friendly and respectable guy.
• Only Sane Man: Between him, Aiger and Ranjiro, he's the most calm and level-headed character, and is the only one who notices Aiger's corruption immediately. He's also one of the few who were openly concerned about Aiger breaking Valt's Bey, whereas everyone else didn't care at all.
• Passing the Torch: Right before he leaves for America in #13, he appoints Toko as the new leader of the Beigoma Academy Bey Club.
• Put on a Bus: In Turbo #13, he decides to travel to America after some persuading from Shu.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted. Like Shu, he has red eyes but is not evil.

Suoh Goshuin (Genji)

Voiced by: Shinnosuke Tachibana (Japanese); Kyle McCarley (English)

---

• Artifact of Doom: Heat Salamander was crafted from a cursed family heirloom called the Dragon's Fang.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Suoh acts well mannered and friendly, but underneath that smile is an arrogant, judgmental adversary who holds everyone in low regards, and even belittles Fubuki.
• Brilliant, but Lazy: He is a very skilled Blader, able to create his own Beyblade and shown to have almost complete mastery over it upon its completion. But he is very cocky with his abilities and always underestimates his opponents, leading him to become frustrated when he is beaten. He is almost never seen training, and when asked if he was going to train he said there was no need to since it would not change the outcome of the battle, believing his victory to be guaranteed. Fubuki eventually calls him out on this during their rematch, saying that he will never improve with that kind of attitude, before swiftly defeating him. He seems to have taken this lesson to heart afterwards, and is one of the Bladers who helps Aiger train for his battle with Phi.
• Cherry Blossoms: Petals of cherry blossoms will sometimes flutter by when he makes an appearance. Perhaps justified, given he's a practitioner of ikebana.
• Defeat Means Friendship: After Toko manages to defeat him in Turbo #42, he congratulated him for his efforts and offered to shake his hand.
• Demonic Possession: Subverted; the show drops hints that this is the case, but it later becomes clear that Suoh's behavior is all his own.
• Demoted to Extra: Despite being one of the main characters of Turbo, he gets less focus after the Battleship Cruise arc.
• Dub Name Change: Surname change. Goshuin —> Genji.
  • His Bey as well: Hell Salamander —> Heat Salamander.
• Everyone Has Standards: Considering the way he treated Fubuki during the Luinor Cup and Battleship Cruise, Suoh's certainly in no position to talk about anyone having changed, yet even he was disturbed by how far Aiger was willing to go for the sake of power.
• Eyes Always Shut: He usually keeps his eyes closed, but they open when he gets serious in battle.
• Evil Sounds Deep: In the dub, his voice becomes deeper and raspier when his bad side takes over.
• Facial Markings: He gains a red zig-zaggy mark on his right cheek after obtaining Heat Salamander.
• Fiery Salamander: His Bey, Heat Salamander, is based off of the eponymous mythical fire-breathing lizard.
• In Touch with His Feminine Side: He's associated with fuschia, has an eloquent, graceful personality and manner of speech (outside of battle, anyway), and practices ikebana.
• The Lancer: Before the finals of the Luinor Cup, Suoh was the second-in-command of the Beigoma Academy Bey Club, and Fubuki’s most trusted advisor before his betrayal.
• Our Dragons Are Different: Heat Salamander's avatar manifests as a draconic lizard beast with purple flaming wings.
• Perpetual Smiler: He rarely ever drops his smile.
• Playing with Fire: His Bey is fire-based, and all of his special moves have something to do with fire as well.
• Put on a Bus: He is last seen riding a chopper back to Japan after being eliminated from the Battleship Cruise. He returns a few episodes later.
• Signature Move:
  • Swirling Inferno(Wrath of the Flaming Tornado): A strong attack with Salamander in Defense Mode.
  • Rain of Swordfire(Sword Rebellion Hell Slash): In Attack Mode, Salamander dives down on the opponent, with the Layer rather than the Driver.
  • Crimson Lotus Blaze(Raging Crimson Hellfire): Salamander takes the center of the Stadium and improves its Defense.
• Split Personality: Usually very calm and composed...until he gets Heat Salamander, after which he reveals a fiercer, more ruthless side to him.
• Supernatural Gold Eyes: His eyes are usually shut, but they glow a fierce gold when in battle.
• Thinker Pose: His usual stance when observing Beybattles, befitting his refined character and mannerisms. Also doubles as a Character Tic.
• Took a Level in Kindness: By Turbo #42, after Toko defeats him, he loses his mean streak and starts being friendlier to everyone, even becoming friends with Aiger and the other Bey Club members.
• We Used to Be Friends: By the time of their battle, Suoh completely disowns Fubuki as a friend. However, by Turbo #42, they seem to have made amends.
• Wrecked Weapon: His old beyblade was destroyed in between his battle with Lui before the start of Turbo. According to his conversation with Fubuki, he is designing a new beyblade, which is later revealed to be Heat Salamander.

Others

Houi Oh (Hae-jin)

Voiced by Yuuki Hayashi (Japanese); Xander Mobus (English)

---

• Does Not Know His Own Strength: In his debut episode, he broke the launch power measuring machine used to register for the Luinor Cup. He still got in, though.
• Dub Name Change: Houi —> Hae-jin in the dub.
• Demoted to Extra: After being eliminated from the cruise.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: His attire consists of a black mono-sleeve shirt.
• Friendly Rival: In contrast to Ranjiro, Fubuki, Suoh, and Koji, Hae-jin is one of Aiger’s strongest yet friendliest rivals, often advising Aiger while also remaining competitive, albeit not to a negative level.
• Gentle Giant: Like Xander, he's the tallest and most muscular character of the Turbo cast, but wouldn't hurt a fly.
• Heroic Build: See above.
• Meaningful Name: His Japanese name, Houi, is a Wade–Giles name of an expert archer hero in Chinese Folklore who shot down nine suns. And he, Hae-jin, is an expert archer, and his Bey is also an expert archer.
• Nice Guy: He's never shown any hate, animosity or even a hint of nastiness to anyone. He's very friendly and shows good sportsmanship.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Like Shu, Fubuki, Xander, and Akira, he has red eyes, but isn't evil.
• The Straight and Arrow Path: He's an expert archer, and he even launches his Bey much like an archer would.
• The Unsmile: He has difficulty smiling properly, much to Naru and Aiger's dismay. However...
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Quite literally, as revealed in Turbo #10.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: After being eliminated from the Battleship Cruise, he isn't seen afterwards aside from a few cameos.

Taiga Akaba(ne)

Voiced by: Mitsuru Miyamoto (Japanese); Marc Diraison (English)

---

• Break His Heart to Save Him: He coldly dismisses Aiger's desire to become a blader, though it was only because he wanted to protect him from potentially being possessed by his Bey.
• Gadgeteer Genius: He's stated to be one of the best Bey trainers in the world, and is known for creating the world's first Turbo Bey.
• Good Parents: He loves both his children, and just wants to keep them safe from the dangers of Bey possession, even though deep down, he really did want Aiger to be a Blader.
• Like Father, Like Son: His son gets his competitiveness and tenacity from him.
• Papa Wolf: While his initial dismissal of Aiger is harsh, he wants his son to be safe and avoid the dangers of being exposed to Turbo metal. His worst fear is all but proven true later on.
• Unusual Eyebrows: He has slits shaved into his eyebrows.

Kanna Akaba(ne)

voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese); Allegra Clark (English)

---

• Curtains Match the Windows: Her eyes are the same shade as her ginger hair.
• Good Parents: She loves her children, and advises Aiger to follow his dream while having Naru support him on the sidelines.
• Motherly Side Plait: More like side braid, but she wears her braided hair over her shoulder.

Koji Konda

voiced by: Wendee Lee (English)

---

• Ascended Extra: From a cameo with the rest of his siblings way back in season 1 to a supporting character in season 3.
• The Big Guy: The most physically gifted member of the Beigoma Academy Bey Club. He tends to be extremely aggressive, even compared to Suoh.
• The Cameo: Fubuki actually isn't the first Turbo character to be introduced before season 3, he is. Back in season one, he was introduced as Hoji's younger brother with the rest of his siblings, particularly appearing during the Area Selection Tournament.
• Strong Family Resemblance: He's basically Hoji, but with glasses and freckles.
• Unknown Rival: He really wants to defeat Aiger, and tends to act hostile towards him, but Aiga only treats him like a friendly rival. He mellows out later on, even congratulating Aiger on his victory in Turbo #28.

Tobisuke

voiced by: Tara Sands (English)

---

• Number Two: He acts as Ranjiro's enforcer for the Wild Bey Gang.

Harumi Hijikawa

voiced by: Landon McDonald (English)

---

• Gadgeteer Genius: He's the Bey Trainer for the Wild Bey Gang.

Benimaru

voiced by: Tony Oliver (English)

---

• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He's level-headed for the most part, but gets carried away with his addiction to sci-fi comics.
• The Big Guy: The strongman of the Wild Bey Gang, and the first to deal with Aiger and the main Bey Club with force.

Jonji

voiced by: Erik Kimerer (English)

---

Gumita

voiced by: Erica Mendez (English)

---

• Deadpan Snarker: She's expressed her incredulity through even-toned commentary more than once.
• Hair Flip: She throws her hair over her shoulder after announcing a plan to get Suoh to cooperate with Ranjiro for their tag-team battle. Too bad it doesn't work.
• Pink Means Feminine: She wears a pink jumpsuit with red flame decals.
• The Slacker: She doesn't put more effort into anything than she needs to, and even then she only does so begrudgingly. The fact she tried to get Suoh to cooperate with Ranjiro proves she's got a good heart.
• The Stoic: There isn't much that fazes or excites her.
• The Smurfette Principle: The only female member of the Wild Bey Gang.

Phi

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese); Greg Chun (English); Casey Mongillo (English, flashback of Turbo ep. 41)

---

• The Ace: He somehow managed to soar through the world ranks undefeated.
• Ambiguously Human: He mysteriously appears in a forest where a meteorite fell to Earth. Naru even asks if he's an alien.
• Ambition Is Evil: He, or rather Phoenix, strives to become the strongest Blader in the world. To that end, he will seek out and crush other strong Bladers so that they cannot oppose him.
• Aristocrats Are Evil: He comes from a noble family, and has very malicious intentions in mind.
• Attack Its Weakpoint: When up against Beyblades with the Turbo Awakening System, Phi aims his attacks at their Turbo Blades to negate the Awakening, else he cannot destroy their Layers.
• Beauty Is Bad: He's one of the as most attractive Bladers in the series, yet his wanton destruction of other Beys roots him firmly on the side of evil.
• Big Bad: Of Turbo.
• Big Brother Bully: Turned out to be this to Hyde when they were younger.
• Black Eyes of Crazy: His sclerae turn black when he uses the dark power.
• Call-Back: Revive Phoenix was created from a meteorite. Now, where have we seen that before?
• Cold Ham: He's usually calm and composed, but as Turbo #16 and #43 show, he has a penchant for dramatic entrances.
• Creepy Twins: He and Hyde definitely give off this vibe since their nature as humans are...suspicious; they live in an ominous, gothic-style castle outfitted with traps, and they delight in treating opponents like playthings, with Phi, in particular, reveling in destruction.
• The Corrupter: He's the one responsible for corrupting Aiger in the first place, and later appears to try the same thing with Shu.
• The Dreaded: He's feared by many for the delight he takes in causing destruction.
• Disproportionate Retribution: He broke Laban's Vise Leopard just for peeking into his soul. Heck, his whole Start of Darkness happened all because his little brother picked the Bey that HE originally wanted (Hades).
• Evil Is Petty: Who holds a grudge over not getting a bey they originally wanted as a kid for years?!
• Evil Sounds Deep: He has a very deep voice in the dub, with the malicious agenda to match.
• Evil Costume Switch: After obtaining Dread Phoenix, he switches out his attire for a darker, more sinister look.
• Faux Affably Evil: Maintains a polite and friendly demeanor even as he's about to shatter your Bey.
• Foil: To Red Eye. Both are strong Bladers who will destroy their opponents to get what they want. However, whereas Shu had been manipulated by outside forces and sought power following a string of traumatic losses to Lui and Free, Phi chose to become evil out of his own free will, and destroys Beys for no reason other than for the sake of destroying Beys.
• For the Evulz: He initially destroyed beys for ridiculously petty reasons (not getting the bey he wanted) but even after he got what he wanted, he still goes ahead and destroys beys, this time for absolutely no reason other than because he can.
• A God Am I: He wastes no time boasting about being a "god" (lord in the dub) and how "no one can stand against a god" in Turbo #50.
• Hair Flip: Will sometimes do this before starting a battle, which highlights his arrogance. Observe◊.
• Hero Killer: Non-fatal example; as of Turbo #47, he has destroyed the beys of five Bladers (though he broke Z Achilles by accident). While three have long since been repaired, the other two are still not accounted for.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Against Aiger, Phi sets up a custom rule where only Burst Finishes count for points, so the battle can only end (for him) with Turbo Achilles' destruction. Phi would have won via Survivor and Ring-Out Finishes in the beginning of the match if it weren't for that rule.
• Hypocrite: Tells Hyde that wanting other people's things is a bad habit, yet has no problem stealing Dread Hades from him after breaking it.
• Karma Houdini: Though he is finally defeated by Aiga in the penultimate episode of the season, he faces no further consequences beyond that other than his pride being hurt. We don't even get to see his own bey destroyed despite him making a sport out of breaking other people's beys
• Knight of Cerebus: After the destruction of Z Achilles in Turbo #37, any appearance from him immediately snuffs out whatever mood was present before, with a battle most likely following not long after.
• Leitmotif: His appearances will sometimes be marked with an ominous chorus. At other times, an organ pipe tune will play.
• Lean and Mean: He's fairly tall with a slender build, and has one heck of a cruel goal to obtain via the destruction of his opponents' beys.
• Light Is Not Good: He has a very beautiful appearance and wields a fire-based bey, but as his entries inform, he is nowhere near benevolent.
• Lightning Bruiser: Phoenix is quite fast for a Defense-type, and is able to remove the armor on its layer to help increase its speed.
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Has hair that falls to his waist, and is quite handsome as well.
• Mask of Sanity: Initially presented himself as cool and collected, but after obtaining Dread Phoenix, his sanity seems to have departed.
• Mystical White Hair: He has white hair, and is one of the most powerful/abnormal Bladers in the series.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The Lord(God) of Destruction.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Him (accidentally) destroying Z Achilles finally snapped Aiger out of his dark resonance and obsession with power. Though it is played with in a roundabout way since it was Phi's influence that corrupted Aiger in the first place, but his actions were still ultimately snapped him out of it.
• Not So Stoic: He's calm for the most part, but his argument with Hyde following his loss to Aiger in Turbo #50 is the first time Phi has ever been shown shouting or getting legitimately angry.
• No Challenge Equals No Satisfaction: While he likes winning regardless, Phi seems to particularly enjoy defeating powerful Bladers; this is the reason he's sweating Aiger's resonance so hard, as he wants him to grow into a strong enough Worthy Opponent to crush.
• Only One Name: See Hyde's entry below.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He holds this view about Aiger, stating that the only reason he didn't challenge him to a title match is because he wants the joy of destroying Achilles to belong to him alone.
• Playing with Fire: Revive Phoenix is based off the eponymous legendary immortal bird of fire.
• Psychopathic Manchild: While both he and his brother, Hyde are very childish for their age, Phi is even more immature despite his calm exterior. The simple fact that he still behaves like a spoiled six year old who destroys other beys simply because he didn't get what he wanted as a child and still holds a petty grudge like that for years proves he isn't mature enough to simply move on and is still stuck in the past.
• Purple Is the New Black: Upon tapping into his dark resonance, his normally fiery red aura turns dark purple. Revive Phoenix itself also becomes its Black Wing version.
• Purple Is Powerful: Gains a dark purple aura when using his Bey's resonance, and is a crazy strong Blader to match.
• Pyrrhic Victory: He wins his battle with Aiger in Turbo #37, but at the cost of accidentally breaking Z Achilles.
• Red and Black and Evil All Over: His new attire after getting Dread Phoenix is a black bodysuit with red accents to go along with his dark power. His new Bey is also of the same colors.
• Sadist: As stated by Free, Phi enjoys his opponents' pain and misery, and the reason why he planned on saving Valt for last was because he wants him to see his friends' (Free, Shu, and Aiger) suffering.
• Shadow Archetype:
  • He's basically Shu if he were still Red Eye.
  • He also represents how Aiger could’ve ended up if he’d never been purged of the dark power.
• Shared Unusual Trait: He and his brother, Hyde both have Heterochromia iridum; one of each of their eyes is red.
• Signature Move:
  • For Revive Phoenix:
    • Phoenix Break: The Friction tip's rubber comes into contact with the stadium, granting Revive Phoenix high speed movements and attacks.
    • Revive Impact: Phoenix jumps up and dives down on the opponent.
    • Revive Crush(Revive Armor Press): Using the opponent's attack, the Revive Armor is sent up in the air and crashes down on the opponent while Phoenix simultaneously crashes into the opponent from the opposite side, crushing them. This technique is typically strong enough to destroy an opponent's Layer.
  • For Dread Phoenix:
    • Dread Break: Performed in the same manner as Phoenix Break.
    • Dread Crush(Dead Armor Press): See Revive Crush above.
    • Dread Cannon(Dead Stinger): Once its Dread Armor is removed, using the Friction tip's rubber, Phoenix launches the heavy Armor at the opponent. It's capable of interrupting the opponent's Special Attacks. Has a variation similar to Dread Hades' Dread Gravity, where Phoenix circles around the opponent to continuously strike the Dread Armor into the opponent, who is pinned in the center of the circle by the launched armor.
    • Double Dread Cannon(Double Dead Stinger): If the opponent avoids a Dread Crush, Phoenix knocks the ricocheting Armor back at the opponent.
    • Dread Cannon Crush: At the same time as a Dread Cannon, Phoenix crashes into the opponent from the opposite side. It is much stronger than the Dread Crush.
    • Diving Dread Cannon Crush(Diving Dead Stinger Press): An aerial variant of the Dead Cannon Crush.
• Significant Birth Date: His and Hyde's birthday is February 29th, showing how they are far more than your average Blader.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: He takes great pleasure in tormenting his opponents and treating them like tools, all while speaking with a calm, gentle voice.
• Spoiled Brat: Given that he started his Bey-shattering spree just because he didn't get the Bey he wanted as a child, he more than qualifies.
• This Cannot Be!: He's so shocked by his loss to Aiger in Turbo #50 that he can't even comprehend WHY he lost.
• Villain Takes an Interest: After witnessing Aiger defeat Lui in the Luinor Cup, he begins watching over him for when he becomes a fitting opponent to destroy.
• Wicked Cultured: He speaks in an eloquent manner, and is shown to enjoy drinking tea, playing the piano, and reading large literature books in the manga.
• White Hair, Black Heart: His wild white hair contrasts with his dark demeanor.

Laban Vanot

• Animal Motifs: He's very catlike in both appearance and the way he launches his Bey, And his Vise Leopard represents a cat as well.
• Color-Coded Eyes: His green eyes highlight his mystical abilities as a fortuneteller and his connection to nature.
• Foreshadowing: When trying to make a prediction with rocks during Aiger and Lui's match, the rocks tumble over, something he states has never happened before. He's immediately worried, and hopes it isn't a sign that something bad will happen. When Aiger's arm is injured, he mistakes that as the bad thing. Turns out the truth was far worse than that.
• Fortune Teller: Is introduced as this, using different elements in nature (rocks, shadows, water, etc.) to predict the future. This turns out to be a bad thing when he tries to see into Phi's soul in episode 24, as what he sees makes him leap back and growl.
• Fluffy Tamer: No surprise, given he has no problem being around big cats.
• Friend to All Living Things: Several scenes show him hanging around some penguins and a leopard/panther.
• Human Hammer-Throw: Leopard’s special move, Howling Bite, involves clamping down on the opposing Bey and rapidly spinning them around before tossing them into the stadium walls.
• Leitmotif: A tribal chorus will often play whenever he's victorious in a battle or making a prediction with his fortunes.
• Panthera Awesome: Vise Leopard is based off of the big cat of the same name.
• Red Baron: The Beast King.
• Now That's Using Your Teeth!: Leopard’s Energy Layer has a large mouth lined with red "teeth" that are used to bite down on the opponent and deliver a powerful attack.
• Speaks Fluent Animal: Has the ability to communicate with animals, such as a lizard and a caracal.
• Wrecked Weapon: Vise Leopard is destroyed by Phi in Turbo #24, but is later repaired in #45.

Xhan Bogard (Xavier)

Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae (Japanese); Griffin Burns (English)

---

• Antiquated Linguistics: He speaks like a hero hailing from legends of old.
• The Ace: One of the members of the Turbo 4, the four strongest bladers of the Turbo generation. In his debut alone, he defeated another member of the Turbo 4, Hae-jin, and Aiger. By the end of the Battleship Cruise, he's around third to fourth place, only behind Aiger and Phi, coming closest to beating the latter, and barely losing to the former after several battles.
• The Bus Came Back: Returns in #44 of Turbo to help Aiger train with Turbo Achilles.
• Cool Crown: His spiky grey hair gives off this look. Fitting since he's a prince.
• Crippling Overspecialisation: Has the same problem as his mentor Xander, in that his strategy boils down to "Attack. If the attack is not strong enough, lose two clicks and use Tetra/Penta Saber". Downplayed here as well, since Breaker Xcalius' attack power is still hard to beat.
• Dub Name Change:
  • Xhan —> Xavier in the dub.
  • Also, his bey: Buster Xcalibur —> Breaker Xcalius.
• Dump Stat: Like Xander and his Surge Xcalius, Xavier's Xcalius' Breaker Mode allows for powerful One-Hit KOs, but has poor stamina.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: He fancies himself a hero and wields a bey based on Excalibur, the legendary sword of Arthurian lore.
• Lonely Rich Kid: Implied by the fact that upon seeing him have fun with Aiger, one of the servants states in episode 44 that it's the first time they've seen Xavier so happy.
• Not So Above It All: More than once, he's joined in on cheering for his friends and even helped throw a congratulatory party for Aiger.
• Privileged Rival: To Aiger, being a prince in contrast to Aiger's upbringing on a farm.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's only a little taller than Aiger and a member of the Turbo 4, the four strongest Bladers of the next generation. Furthermore, he's a practitioner of martial arts and a pupil of Xander.
• Put on a Bus: Isn't seen for a while (save for a few cameos) after Valt and Aiger's battle in Turbo #28.
• Red Is Heroic: Fitting his belief that he is a hero, he wears red in his main outfit, and his Battle Aura is also red. His martial arts uniform leans to the other side of the spectrum.
• Signature Move: Along with Dual Sabers and Triple Saber (see Xander's section above), Xavier also has Tetra Saber (where while Xcalius is in Breaker Mode, the point on the 1' Forge Disc and the edge on the Sword Performance Tip align, creating 4-point attacks to deal massive damage), and later introduces Penta Saber, which uses the Dagger Frame to deal even more damage than Tetra Saber.
  • In Turbo episode 44, he introduces Saber Wall, which consists of Xcalius knocking the opponent's bey into a wall, then using the wall to lock onto its opponent and deal a devastating attack.
• Skilled, but Naive: Overlaps with Sheltered Aristocrat. Given he's a member of the Turbo 4, his Bey certainly packs a punch, but he had no qualms about revealing his most powerful attack to Kyle. Even after telling Kyle to his face that he doesn't trust him, he deems his shady actions beneath his suspicions.
• Warrior Prince: If you count Beyblade as a form of combat.
• Worthy Opponent: He has this view about Aiger, to the point where he officially declares him his rival.

Kyle Hakim

---

Voiced by: Masahito Yabe (Japanese); Zach Aguilar (English)

• Animal Motifs: Foxes. Kyle wears a fox mask, loves acting mischievous towards others, and is very fast and agile.
• Evil Laugh: He constantly chuckles to himself while observing the other Battleship participants.
• Fashionable Asymmetry: The right leg of his jumpsuit is cut off at the thigh.
• Facial Markings: Has several red markings all over his face.
• Informed Attribute: He likes to boast about being a "high caliber" blader, yet he has one of the worst win-loss records to date, and also resorts to cheating at times.
• It's Personal: He's had a beef with Phi ever since the latter aimed Phoenix at his face to try to break his mask, resulting in Kyle accidentally dropping his phone and cracking the screen.
• Karma Houdini: After collecting data off other bladers for Dread Tower, the worst he gets is being beaten in a beybattle against Aiger, which breaks his mask; even then, Kyle still manages to have the last word about the latter’s corrupted resonance before never being seen again.
• Le Parkour: Kyle is fast and agile, able to wall jump and leap about without much difficulty.
• Logical Weakness: He specializes in strong defense with his Hazard Kerbeus, but has weak points:
  • Hitting the base of his Hazard Kerbeus' Layer can affect his Bey's defense and stamina.
  • Pushing the chains far enough can cause the Bey's chains to work against it (as demonstrated by Free).
• The Mole: He's revealed to have been collecting data from the characters during the Battleship Cruise arc to use for Dread Tower.
• The Prankster: Kyle had a bit of fun messing around on the Dark Betty ghost ship, trolling and pranking the hell out of Aiger & Ranjiro's group, and enjoying when they assumed he was the ghost.
• Put on a Bus: After being eliminated from the Battleship Cruise. He returns later to battle Free, and then Aiger at Dread Tower.
• Small Name, Big Ego: He spends the entirety of Turbo #18 insulting the Battleship participants who struggle to make it to the goal, and smugly calls himself a "high caliber" Blader...only to end up losing to Aiger.
• Training from Hell: Implied, given he states that he had to endure "horrid conditions" just to obtain Kerbeus. Of course, he only mentions this after Aiger asks if he's even slightly cold...because they're about to duke it out in the Battleship's cold storage.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: After exiting Dread Tower in Turbo #32, he is never seen again afterwards.
• Who Was That Masked Index?: Kyle wears a mask that closely resembles a fox, which he uses to hide his face to avoid giving away strategies based on his expressions. His face is revealed in Turbo #31 during a battle with Free.
• The Worf Effect: After his losses against Phi and Ranjiro, he hasn't won a single battle thus far, not even gaining a single point.
• Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Much emphasis is put on his yellow eyes when he removes his mask. Then there's the fact that he was essentially spying on the other characters...

Hearts (Hyde)

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Japanese); Greg Chun (English); Allegra Clark (English, flashback of Turbo ep. 41)

• Always Someone Better: Phi was this to him when they were children, and continues to be so in the present.
• Blood Knight: Despite feeling the pain of every strike an opponent lands on Dread Hades, Hyde's usual response is to get fired up. Even when it's shown that particularly strong attacks clearly hurt him, he dishes out as much punishment as he takes and then some.
• Character Tic: He has a habit of licking his lips/sticking his tongue out.
• Combat Sadomasochist: By virtue of having the same "Dark Power" that Aiger develops, Hyde experiences Phantom Pains whenever Dread Hades receives damage. It typically just excites him. Less so when he realizes he's gonna lose, and especially not when up against his brother.
• Creepy Twins: He can be this, given his wild and scary appearance, but ultimately subverted, unlike his brother.
• Dark Is Not Evil: He dresses in dark clothing, wields a dark-themed bey, and has the exact same Dark Resonance that everyone worries about in Aiger. However, he has no evil intentions to destroy other's beys and only battles for fun.
• Dub Name Change: Hearts —> Hyde in the dub
  • Also his Bey; Dead Hades —> Dread Hades
• Everyone Has Standards: Hyde might be intimidating at times, but he has never had the intention to destroy other people's beys. In Episode 47, he seemed to be genuinely shocked and disgusted after Phi breaks Shu's Turbo Spryzen.
• Hair Flip: Just like his brother, Hyde will sometimes flip out his hair before starting a battle, though it looks less arrogant and more wild in his case.
• Mighty Glacier: Dread Hades is very heavy for a Balance-type, which is useful for delivering strong attacks. However, as Aiger demonstrates in Turbo #39, its weight can work against it, as crashing into the walls causes bigger impacts, leading to Hades losing its balance.
• Multiform Balance: By flipping the Turn Frame around, Dread Hades can be set in either Attack or Defense Mode. Ironically, Defense Mode grants Hades stronger Special Attacks.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The Dark Prince of the Nether. In Japanese, The Demon King of Hell.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Recognized by himself towards his own powers of all things. Normally, Hyde only experiences Phantom Pains whenever Dread Hades is receiving damage. When battling against his brother Phi, and he starts experiencing these pains when Hades is the one attacking, he quickly realizes that something is very, VERY wrong.
• Odd Friendship: With Evel. Hyde is an expressive, overdramatic blader, Evel is a cool-headed analyst.
• Only One Name: Despite being from a noble family, he and Phi stand out for being two of few characters to not have any given surname, which makes one further question where they came from.
• Perky Goth: As mentioned above, he dresses in dark clothing and wields a dark-themed bey, but he's quite the goofy and lighthearted person. After getting his Bey destroyed by Phi in Turbo #41, Hyde becomes rather grim, but he seems to return to normal in the finale.
• Polar Opposite Twins: Hyde is the lighthearted twin who only battles for the fun of it, whereas his brother seeks to destroy his opponents.
• Purple Is Powerful: His white hair has a lavender tint, his clothing and Bey have purple accents, his special moves involve the use of purple energy, and he's a member of the Turbo 4, the four strongest Bladers of the Turbo generation.
• Practical Taunt: By taunting Aiger, Hyde tricks him into keeping Achilles in Attack Mode out of anger, making the former predictable.
• Shared Unusual Trait: As mentioned above, both he and his brother have Heterochromia iridium.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Phi is calmer and more introverted; Hyde is more expressive and enjoys playing to the crowd. Later flip-flopped, with Hyde becoming the more grounded one and Phi losing himself to the dark power.
• Signature Move: Dread Hades has two:
  • Dread(Dead) Impulse: In Attack Mode, Hades strikes the opponent with its heavy weight.
  • Dread(Dead) Gravity: In Defense Mode, Hades circles around the opponent at high speed, using its improved Defense to deflect the opponent's Attacks/escape attempts, "crushing" them in an ever shrinking circle.
• Sinister Scythe: The avatar of Dread Hades wields a scythe, appropriate for a Bey based on the god of the underworld.
• Super-Strength: He managed to tear apart a frying pan with his bare hands. In the manga, it's shown that Hades is so heavy that even Aiger had trouble lifting it.
• Swapped Roles: He was initially the manic one upon his introduction while Phi was the level-headed one. As of Turbo #47, however, he seems to be the sane one while Phi has become...unhinged.
• Synchronization: He feels the pain of every strike an opponent lands on Dread Hades, something he believes is a sign of true resonance.
• Terms of Endangerment: He refers to Aiger as "my dear, sweet Aiger" during the Dread Tower arc. Considering what he and Phi define as "playing", this is definitely not meant to be taken affectionately.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He gives a small one to Phi after his loss to Aiger in Turbo #50, calling him pathetic for being a Sore Loser who blames his loss on his Bey.
• Unsportsmanlike Gloating: After he defeats Aiger in their title match with a score of 4-0 he just will NOT stop bringing it up or gloating about it. While in an interview he directly addresses Aiger, knowing he is watching at the time, just to rub it in again. It is no wonder Aiger hated him so much.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Whilst Phi was always a bit of a manipulative control-freak and a Big Brother Bully, Hyde used to be a nice and well-mannered kid when he was young. As soon as he first retrieved Dread Hades, he became more aggressive, cocky and argumentive towards his brother. With that said, he still wanted to patch things up with Phi.
• Wrecked Weapon: His brother destroys Hades in episode 41 of Turbo.
• Verbal Tic: In the dub, it's a rather obnoxious laugh.

Evel Oxford

Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi (Japanese); Ben Lepley (English)

• Brutal Honesty: He bluntly tells Aiger he didn't ask for his opinion when the latter tells him he didn't enjoy his battle with Hyde, and informs Ranjiro that he has no interest in battling him in Turbo #33, yet states it might be useful to gather data on a Bey that just can't seem to win.
• Dub Name Change: His Bey, from Orb Egis —> Engaard.
• False Friend: Betrays Hyde in episode 41 of Turbo to side with the former's brother.
• Odd Friendship: With Hyde. The former is an expressive, overdramatic blader, Evel is a cool-headed analyst.
• The Smart Guy: Like Naoki, he's a Beyblade scientist.
• The Stoic: He calmly analyzes battle data, and never raises his voice outside of his battle with Aiger in Turbo #33.
• Stone Wall: Orb Engaard's Layer features a shield with moveable balls that can deflect nearly any attack, and its Quest tip has a suction cup on it that allows it to stick to the stadium, making it extremely difficult to knock over.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: After upgrading Revive Phoenix with the broken pieces of Dread Hades in Turbo #41, Evel isn't seen again, despite serving as the closest link to Hyde (besides Kyle, who had also gone missing) during the entirety of the Dread Tower arc.

Count Night(fell)

Voiced by: Yuu Kobayashi (Japanese), Mickey Caputo (English)

• Beware the Silly Ones: Nightfell might act goofy, but the fact stands that he has apparently stolen many beys and never been caught.
• Cool Mask: Wears one that covers half his face, perhaps to look more mysterious as he goes about stealing beys.
• Classy Cravat: Wears one as part of his attire. His personality, however, is anything but.
• Canon Foreigner: Up until #32 of Turbo, he had been a manga exclusive character.
• Dub Name Change: Night —> Nightfell in the dub.
  • His Bey as well: Duo Eclipse —> Fusion Aether.
• Faux Affably Evil: Even as he goes around stealing Beys, he maintains a polite and courteous attitude.
• Gratuitous French: He often peppers his speech with French words/phrases.
• Insistent Terminology: He always insists on being called "Phantom Thief".
• Jack of All Stats: Fusion Aether is a Balance type created from the Layers of the Left Astro and Right Artemis infinity Beys. By changing the Layers, Nightfell can change Aether's spin direction.
• Leitmotif: Usually accompanied by an upbeat, jazzy tune.'
• Logical Weakness: Fusion Aether has the same disc/frame/tip combo as Dread Hades, and thus is able to use the same moves and techniques. However, in order for the moves to work, a large amount of mass is needed. This is why Aiger was able to overcome Aether's version of Dread Gravity.
• No Honor Among Thieves: Mixed with a little I Lied. Before their battle, Nightfell promises to take Aiger and Ranjiro directly to Hyde if the former defeats him. Naturally, Aiger wins, but when he and Ranjiro tell Nightfell to make good on his promise, he quickly references this trope before taking off. He at least gives them a hint on how to find Hyde, though.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Since he always introduces himself as Count Nightfell, no one knows what his real name is. We can at least assume his last name is Kaneguro, since he's the older brother of Zac the Sunrise.
• Pet the Dog: Initially tried to steal Z Achilles, but decided to return it to Aiger after witnessing his passion and determination.
• Phantom Thief: What he calls himself.
• Shout-Out: Wears half a mask, calls himself a phantom thief, and often speaks in French. Sound familiar?
• Sibling Yin-Yang: The anime never directly acknowledges them as brothers, but Zac is a famous pop-star, whereas Nightfell is a shady Bey thief. Fittingly, the two are also like day and night/sun and moon, respectively.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Only shows up for the Dread Tower arc, and then disappears afterwards.
