History Characters / BakutenShootBeybladeSecondary

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: With a dose of AlternateCharacterReading. "Saint Seals" is spelled セント・シールズ in [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseWritingSystem katakana]]. シールズ can be [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization romanized]] two ways: as "seals" and as "shields". Based on the kanji 封, it's "seals". However, both "seals" and "shields" make sense in context of what the Saint Seals do. Why the dub team ended up picking "Saint Shields" is unknown, maybe nothing more than AlliterativeName, but defendable.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kraken is named after the kraken. "クラーケン" features the elongated ā from ラー for pronunciation, but these kana are also the way Japanese renders er/ar/or. Add to that the [[JapaneseRanguage L/R-matter]] and the conclusion becomes that "クラーケン" got mis-re-romanized as "Klarken" where it should have just been "Kraken". Whether "Klarken" should be considered canon because it is what canon says it is or if a correction should be applied is up for debate.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: ザガート has been romanized as "Zagart" in the English version and derived translations. This is a good romanization, because the elongated ā from ガー is the way Japanese renders er/ar/or and the "o" in ト tends to be omitted if it's at the end of a word. However, what with Aoki's claim that ザガート is inspired by "Gepetto", the literal reading "Zagāto" becomes the more logical option.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the blader rank list in [=S3E41=], his name is written as "Gamarra". In the classification mini-tournament list later that episode, it's "Gamara". Since the second list demonstratably has spelling errors and the first doesn't, "Gamarra" has a slightly better shot at being the correct spelling.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Gigas is named after the Greek word "Γίγας", referring to the Giant branch of Ancient Greek gods. "ギガース" features the elongated ā from ガー for pronunciation, but these kana are also the way Japanese renders er/ar/or. Hence, "ギガース" got mis-re-romanized as "Gigars". Whether "Gigars" should be considered canon because it is what canon says it is or if a correction should be applied is up for debate.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** Olivier's last name has been romanized in various ways, among others as "Polanski" and "P/Boulanger", by the fandom over the years, but, even though obscurely, canonically it is Bohringer. This name is present on the trading card and no other romanization matches a (French) actor or movie director, which it has to do according to Aoki. Only... the name as spelled in Japanse consistently starts with "ポ" ("po") instead of "ボ" ("bo"), which is the letter normally used to render the name in kana. The two symbols are alike, sure, but that's no explanation as to why Olivier's last name is spelled like that.
** As well, all attempts to romanize "ポーランジェ" have generally assumed the name had to sound French. But "Bohringer" is of German origin, so that certainly was an unfair start.

->'''Voiced by:''' Sachi Matsumoto (Japanese), Jason Barr (English)

* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Constantly dismiss the Bladebreakers as a team of nobodies, apparently unaware that they're the current champions of the Asian ''and'' American national circuits. That the Majestics are so oblivious of the world of beyblading outside of Europe speaks more to their ignorance of the game than the protagonists'.

* AdaptationalBadass: Takao had to put very little effort to defeat him in the manga. The anime has Ozuma defeating him on a regular basis.

* FinalBoss: He is the last opponent in the original series before [[Anime/BeybladeMetalFusion "Metal Fusion"]].

* FinalBoss: He is the last opponent in the original series before [[Anime/BeybladeMetalFusion ''Metal Fusion'']].

* FinalBoss

* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/SpiderMan'', of whom he copies his acrobatics and [[BuildingSwing web-swinging skills]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChisaYokoyama (Japanese), Vik Sahay (English)

* TheHero

* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: He's a samurai and despite his age fittingly old-fashioned. For instance, he uses the [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns "sessha" pronoun]] and the [[{{Keigo}} "gozaru" verb]]. Also of note is that his name, which means "Herald of the Sword", is very similar to the story's other samurai, Ryūnosuke, which means "Herald of the Dragon".

* FourElementEnsemble: Ralf/Griffolyon are air, Johnny/Salamalyon are fire, Olivier/Unicolyon are earth, and Giancarlo/Amphilyon are water.

* DarkChick: She's the singular female member of the BEGA League, which are the main adversaries during ''G-Revolution''. She's also not on good terms with Hiromi, although this mostly is Hiromi's doing.

* DelinquentHair: His hanging mohawk certainly counts. It overlaps with PeekABangs that permanently cover his right eye.

** [[Characters/MetalFightBeybladeZeroG Characters that belong to]] ''Anime/MetalFightBeybladeZeroG''

* ShortHairWithTail: He combines ShonenHair with a [[DelinquentHair Mohawk]], but stil has a long tail in the back. The tail is an addition by the anime team, because Aoki's sketches don't include it.

* HairAntennae: Emily has two strands sticking out at the top of her head.

* BareYourMidriff: Suzuka's style is VisualKei, which in his case includes the midriff look.

* BareYourMidriff: Chiru-Chiru is the only member of the band to show off her midriff.

* BareYourMidriff: Rosetta walks around with an exposed belly.

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks: Sharkrash.

* TheLancer:
* NonSpecificallyForeign: In the dub, everything is done to get it across that Johnny is Scottish. Aside from his looks and stereotypical temper, he's referred to as a member of the "Royal [=McGregor=] Clan from the High Lands" in [=S1E37=], mentions going golfing in [=S1E39=], and by his own words that same episode is even called "[[ViolentGlaswegian The Gladiator of Glasgow]]". So it might come as a surprise that no mention at all is made of Scotland in the Japanese version. The term used in [=S1E37=] is "igirisu", which is a term to denote the entire UK. The Japanese don't make a habit of viewing the UK as different countries, hence why his two name inspirations are from England and Scotland and still considered from the same "country". Disregarding that, Johnny still very much reads as Scottish in the original version, but there are details that suggest otherwise, like his deep respect for "[[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Her Majesty the Queen]]" or his battle against Howling at [[CircleOfStandingStones Stonehenge]].

* RedOni: To Ralf, down to the armor.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: It's almost surprising that Tyranno is the only dinosaur bit-beast in the original franchise. There's no shortage of [[DinosaursAreDragons dragons]], but a dinosaur is apparently a little out there.

* HotScientist: Doctor K gives Judy a run for her money, even more so after leaving Zagāto's troops. Her new outfit then is positively {{Stripperiffic}}, consisting of ProperTightsWithASkirt, short skirt, BareYourMidriff, and a top that leaves a lot of her bra exposed. Het labcoat gets traded in for a BadassLongcoat that affords her some semblance of modesty.

* PinocchioSyndrome: In the anime, once Zeo learns that he's an android, he has a massive breakdown over it and then positively flips. He signs up with his father's plan to aggressively take the BBA's bit-beasts, despite that they are his friends, and doesn't stop his emotional rampage until he loses to Takao and thereby comes to terms with his own identity.
