| 13 | !Season 1 teams |
| 14 | !!Shell Killers (Blade Sharks) |
| 15 | [[folder:General]] |
| 16 | [[caption-width-right:500:The team name is ''Shell Killers'' (シェルキラー) in Japanese, ''Shell Sharks'' on Kai's trading card, and ''Blade Sharks'' in English and derived translations.]] |
| 17 | The initial antagonist team. It consists of three "layers": the leader, which is Kai Hiwatari before he joins the Bladebreakers, the Shitennō (original) or Four Horsemen (dub), the four elite members, and a lot of unnamed mooks whose only real purpose is numbers. The Shell Killers serve as the main opponent during the Japanese tournament. |
| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | * EliteFour: Kai's immediate underlings are called the Four Horsemen in the dub and the Shitennō in the original version. |
| 20 | * GangOfBullies: Hiruta has a habit of acting on his own, but the rest uses numbers to pull stuff like theft, abduction, and bodily harm. |
| 21 | * NeverSayDie: Kai's trading card states he's the leader of the Shell Sharks. This suggests that the reason the team's name uniquely was changed is because of the "killer" part. "Shell" to "blade" was then likely done to sound better. |
| 22 | * StarterVillain: The Shell Killers are the first opposing team that has to be dealt with during a tournament. |
| 23 | * UndyingLoyalty: Not counting Hiruta, who has his own thing going on, but definitely true for the rest of the Shitennō in regards to Kai. It's not that obvious in the anime, but in the manga, not only did Kai kick them out of the Shell Killers for losing to Takao, but Hiruta even pointed out to them that losing to Takao was part of Kai's plan to gauge the other's beyblade skill. Despite this, they remain loyal to Kai and support and worry about him during the Japanese Tournament, while Kai keeps yelling at them that they're beneath him. They are last seen in [=I-V3C2=]. Then in [=I-V14C3=], they make a one-panel comeback as the audience cheering on Kai during the manga's closing match. |

| 27 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beyblade2000_hiruta.png]] |
| 28 | [[caption-width-right:300:Blader: マコト・蛭田/ Makoto Hiruta / Carlos]] |
| 29 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Chiaki Morita (Japanese), Rob Stefaniuk (English) |
| 30 | A high-ranking Shell Killer who got kicked out for being defeated by Takao. Hiruta made it to the Japanese tournament on his own, but lost again. In the manga, he went on to become Daichi's first noteworthy opponent and supporter. He is the younger brother of Ayaka. |
| 31 | ---- |
| 32 | * BackForTheFinale: The Japanese ending of ''G-Revolution'' features shots of many beybladers who have appeared in any of the three seasons. Hiruta hadn't appeared since [=S1E51=] and gets shown battling Rick. In an interview, director Yoshihiro Nagamori has said that they picked him because they wanted an equal, another street kid, to have as Rick's opponent. |
| 33 | * BlackSheep: Of the Shell Killers. He's the only one of the Shitennō who doesn't like Kai and openly rebels against him, though also openly is the one most in tune with Kai's beliefs of power at that time. After his defeat against Takao, he fully breaks with the Shell Killers and sets out on his own. In the manga, he becomes the first "mentor-opponent" to Daichi. |
| 34 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: There'd be many more to come, but Hiruta was the first character to undergo this. He's also one of the very few who doesn't immediately accept Takao's kindness. It's only during the final episode of season 1 that Hiruta is seen cheering for the Bladebreakers, along with the other Shitennō with whom he apparently made up. In the manga, it's Daichi he cheers for. |
| 35 | * EvilCounterpart: To Takao and Daichi, pre-DefeatMeansFriendship. With both, Hiruta takes the role of first "true" adversary, being above the rabble but also not elusive like Kai. Fittingly, Hiruta's (starter) beyblade is Kid Dragoon. |
| 36 | * {{Revenge}}: His beyblade gets destroyed by the other Shitennō and he himself gets kicked out of the Shell Killers. After this he rebuilds with an actual blade in it. He gets to play against his former teammates and makes sure they're an easy kill before going after Takao. The other three actually call him a traitor for it, but he argues he's merely following the Shell Killers' belief that might makes right. |
| 37 | * TheStarscream: To Kai. Hiruta is the most independent and ambitious of the Shell Killers and, unlike the others, not (that) afraid of going against Kai. |
| 38 | * StarterVillain: Overlaps with CompositeCharacter in the anime. He's the first mean opponent Takao deals with in the anime, which he gets to be by taking the role held by Nobuo in the manga. |

| 74 | !!Majestic 4 (Majestics) |
| 75 | [[folder:General]] |
| 76 | [[caption-width-right:500:The team name was originally nameless in Japanese, but got named ''Majestic 4'' (マジェステック4) in ''Rising''. In English and derived translations, it's always been ''Majestics''.]] |
| 77 | The Majestic 4 are composed of four of Europe's wealthiest. They're all from old families, from which they inherited their bit-beasts. Although good friends for a long time, their egos made them refuse to be a team. Only after meeting the Bladebreakers did their regard for teamwork improve and they've stuck together ever since. |
| 78 | ---- |
| 79 | * AlphabeticalThemeNaming: The Majestic 4's bit-beasts' names end on "-lyon". |
| 80 | * BlueBlood: As the name points at, all members of the Majestic 4 are heirs to long-standing lineages of name and fortune. They occasionally dress up in their family armor for beyblade matches. |
| 81 | * BreakTheHaughty: They're all pretty arrogant rich-boys who get taken down a peg by the protagonists. |
| 82 | * TheCavalry: Combined with LastStand. The Majestic 4, along with Kiki of the Bái Hǔ Zú, were the only ones whose bit-beasts hadn't been stolen during the Russian tournament. Judy gathered the five and mentally prepared them to step in if Takao would lose his match against Yuriy. Fortunately, it didn't come to that. |
| 83 | * ClassicalElementsEnsemble: Ralf is air, as his bit-beast Griffolyon is based off of a {{griffon}} and is known for its high-flying battling style. Johnny is fire, his bit-beast Salamalyon is based off of the FierySalamander. Olivier is earth, his bit-beast Unicolyon is based off of a unicorn and can make the ground shake. Giancarlo is water, his bit-beast Amphilyon based on a hydra-like beast. |
| 84 | * DubInducedPlothole: In the original version, the Majestic 4 do not have a name. They're simply the Euro Team. The dub gave them the name Majestics. However, the story as it is has the members form a team for the first time, which specifically occurs in [=S1E38=]. A.J. Topper and Brad Best introduce them as the Majestics, which Ralf is surprised by and Johnny indifferent to, while Olivier and Giancarlo talk about how beyblading is not a team sport. Which leaves the question, just who came up with "Majestics"? There's some implication Johnny created the name, but that would be at odds with him being the one insistently opposed to what's going on in the first place. |
| 85 | * IneffectualLoner: None of them has the slightest team spirit. |
| 86 | * KnightInShiningArmor: They all don actual armor for important matches, seeing beyblading as genuine battle. |
| 87 | * 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 about their ignorance of the game than the protagonists'. |
| 88 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: As with most season 1 teams, the Majestic 4 went by the descriptive "Euro(pean) Team" in the original version. The dub gave the team a proper name, which surprisingly made its way back into the Japanese franchise when the team was named Majestic 4 in ''Rising''. |
| 89 | * OlympusMons: Their bit beasts are much larger than normal, manifesting their exceptional fighting spirit. |
| 90 | * RoyalBrat: All rich, all arrogant. |
| 91 | * ShoutOut: Doubly so. As per Aoki's website, the first names of the Majestic 4 come from F1-racers from their respective countries and their last names are based on movie directors and actors also from their countries. The F1-racers are Ralf Schumacher, Johnny Herbert, Olivier Panis, and Giancarlo Fisichella. The movie directors and actors aren't specifically mentioned, but can be surmised to be Steffen Jürgens, Ewan [=McGregor=], Richard Bohringer, and Giuseppe Tornatore. |
| 92 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Majestic 4 are the one team that refuses to fight Borg in the manga. They are dropped from the story upon that choice. When next a tournament is held, there are two new teams to represent Europe: the Barthez Soldats (Region A) and F-Sangre (Region B). There's no explanation about what happened to the Majestic 4. |

| 102 | * AnimeHair: In the manga and the third season, his hair is more or less normal. It's the first season that styles it as if it's cast. In the dub of [=S1E30=], one of his challengers even asks him if it's his hair or his helmet. |
| 103 | * BlueOni: To Johnny, down to the armor. |
| 104 | * CatchPhrase: He loves to use the word "uncouth" in the dub. |
| 105 | * FeatherFlechettes: Griffolyon's main attack consists of throwing sharp feathers from its wings. |
| 106 | * FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Griffolyon is most often seen standing on two legs. |
| 107 | * TheLeader: Ralf is the team captain. |
| 108 | * NobodyCallsMeChicken: Ralf didn't accept Takao's original challenge, as he had destroyed enough beyblades that day and was in a hurry, until Takao called him a coward. |
| 109 | * OurGryphonsAreDifferent: His bit-beast Griffolyon is a griffin. |

| 120 | * AlchemicElementals: Johnny's bit-beast is Salamalyon, a salamander. Salamalyon is the only bit-beast based on one of the classic elementals. |
| 121 | * BadassesWearBandanas: He wears one wrapped around his forehead and he's the one who goes for the too-cool-for-school image. Flows into HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic, because while the others wear helmets with their armor, he doesn't, leaving his bandana on display. |
| 122 | * IWorkAlone: While all the Majestic 4 are this, he is specially stubborn (and loud) about it. |
| 123 | %% * TheLancer: |
| 124 | * 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/ElizabethII Her Majesty the Queen]]" or his battle against Howling at [[CircleOfStandingStones Stonehenge]]. |

| 137 | * ConspicuousConsumption: He rented out the entire Louvre so he could contemplate the great masters without the crowds. It's also not the first time he's done so. |
| 138 | * GracefulLoser: He accepts draws and losses without a fuss. When his fans try to say there's no way anyone could match him he's quick to tell them that no, he did not win his battle. |
| 139 | * SomethingAboutARose: As shown in [=S1E38=], when Olivier has time to dress up before a match, he'll add a rose to his bey to launch it in a fahsionable but harmless [[PetalPower petal storm]]. |

| 153 | * TheDogBitesBack: Amphilyon snaps and turns against its owner because Giancarlo didn't care much for it and treated it as a servant rather than a partner. |
| 154 | * KidAnova: He is introduced skipping lessons, because he has a date with ALadyOnEachArm. Keep in mind this is part of the double theme he has going due to Amphilyon. |
| 155 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Overlaps with MultipleHeadCase. Amphilyon is an amphisbaena, a dragon-like creature which defining trait is the second head at the tip of its tail. |
| 156 | * WingsDoNothing: Even though Amphilyon has wings, it never actually uses them. This is noticeable when Dragoon throws it from the sky in [=S1E36=]. |

| 159 | !Season 2 (''V-Force'') teams |
| 160 | !!Saint Seals (Saint Shields) |
| 161 | [[folder:General]] |
| 162 | [[caption-width-right:500:In Japan, the team is 聖封士, pronounced ''Saint Seals'' (セント・シールズ), while the kanji means ''Holy Seal Warriors''. In English and derived translations, the team name is ''Saint Shields''.]] |
| 163 | A team whose members come from a dedicated lineage of bladers seeking to seal away all bit-beasts to protect humanity. After their defeat by the BBA Team's strength and ideals, it was decided that instead of aggressively stealing bit-beasts they should assertively keep watch in case they are needed. |
| 164 | ---- |
| 165 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: According to Aoki's website, the four were designed to be from different races and nationalities. However, the anime depicts them as being from one clan and all but directly says they are Chinese in [=S2E33=]. This is despite that not one has a Chinese name and generally sound more Middle Eastern. Of course, it's still possible their clan actively promotes marrying outsiders, which would unite all of the above, but nothing like that is ever said to be the case. |
| 166 | * AncientOrderOfProtectors: Overlaps with WellIntentionedExtremist. The clan the Saint Seals hail from are among the few people who know about the utter destruction brought on when humans first learned to control bit-beasts. For millennia, they've made it their duty to hunt down bit-beasts and lock them in stone tablets. The Saint Seals are the clan's latest champions, fully believing in the clan's methods even though when they stop to think about they'd hate for their own bit-beasts to be harmed or taken away. The BBA Team eventually convinces them to ditch the extremism. From that point on, they vow only to act when a blader fails in their duty to protect their bit-beast or uses it for malevolent purposes. |
| 167 | * FamilyEyeResemblance: Every single member of the Saint Seals' clan has bright green eyes. |
| 168 | * {{Invisibility}}: The initial advantage of the Saint Seals is the invisibility of their bit-beasts. None of the BBA Team knew they were even fighting one until Kyōju gathered enough data to make a grainy representation visible on his laptop. Eventually, Hiromi made them visible... somehow. |
| 169 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitutes: The Saint Seals remind a lot of the Bái Hǔ Zú in terms of looks and ninja-like skills. They're even after the BBA Team's bit-beasts and solely manage to get Driger, while the Bái Hǔ Zú specifically wanted Driger back from Rei. |

He's probably the person with the best win-loss record against the protagonist throughout the entire three seasons.

| 227 | !!Team Psychic (Team Psykick) |
| 228 | [[folder:General]] |
| 229 | [[caption-width-right:500:In Japan, the team is ''Psychic'' (サイキック), with no pun discernible in the spelling. In the GBA trilogy, they're renamed ''Cyber'' (サイバー). In English and derived translations, the team name is ''Psykick''.]] |
| 230 | One of the two teams ultimately under control of Zagāto Industries, the other being Team Zagāto. Team Psykick is directly led by Gideon, who in turn reports to Zagāto himself. The unit consists of Gideon, Doctor B, spies, scientists, and beybladers. The bladers can be divided in three groups: those without bit-beasts, those who couldn't handle cyber bit-beasts, and those who could handle cyber bit-beasts for about a week. The latter group are the elite. |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * AnimalThemeNaming: Most trial Psykicks have an animal-based name or something related to an animal. "Snakey", "Chameleon", and "Bat" are obvious. "Figel" comes from "vogel", the German word for "bird". This trend would continue with Team Zagāto. |
| 233 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: This happens to anyone who handles a cyber bit-beast |
| 234 | * CanonForeigner: Everyone but the elite team are an addition by the anime. |
| 235 | * ChildSoldiers: The bladers are this. Some join voluntarily, while others are brainwashed. Some don't survive the unit. |
| 236 | * MultinationalTeam: In Aoki's notes, Team Psykick's elite members are said to have been scouted from all over the world. Kane is Japanese-Australian and Gōki is full Japanese. Salima and Jim were not designed with a particular background in mind, though Salima's name was taken from an African travel guide while her nationality in the anime is Canadian, and Jim's name suggests him to be either American or European. |
| 237 | * PoweredByAForsakenChild: Doesn't do much to make them worse than they already were, but the trope otherwise goes into effect for Gideon, Doctor B, and the other adults involved once everything went wrong for Garry. |
| 238 | * ThePsychoRangers: The elite team, on account of their use of cyber versions of the Bladebreakers' bit-beasts. |
| 239 | * PunnyName: "Psykick" combines "psychic" and "kick" while phonetically being indistinguishable from "psychic". This is a dub invention, because the Japanese katakana holds no pun. |
| 240 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Bit-beasts in general suffer this trope, but the cyber bit-beasts get a double-down because of JustAMachine. |

| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * BlowYouAway: On account of Scissorswing being a kamaitachi. Its wind powers are given shape as a whirlwind that serves as a bey-surrounding shield with high offensive qualities. An additional benefit is that the whirlwind hides the bey and the bit-beast, granting a level of {{Invisibility}}. |
| 427 | * {{Kamaitachi}}: Scissorswing is a kamaitachi. It's only one weasel and not a trio of them, though. Jack used it to do some serious harm not only to Dranzer, but also to Kai, without anyone seeing the actual attack. |
| 428 | * TheSneakyGuy: Jack avoids a direct confrontation at first, preferring to stalk the Bladebreakers until he can catch one alone and attack with his cloaked beyblade. They catch glimpses of him here and there, but it isn't until Kai uses himself as bait that the playing field gets evened. |

| 439 | * EyesDoNotBelongThere: Tyranno has two extra sets of eyes about halfway his snout. |
| 440 | * KickTheDog: No one of the trial team cares about their bit-beast. They view them as tools to get stronger and there's none for who this goes as much as it does for Dennis in regards to Tyranno. Team Zagāto attempts to ensure Tyranno's victory by constantly pumping it up with more energy, even though it is clearly [[ExplosiveOverclocking being hurt and harmed]] by the treatment. In fact, it gets so bad that even Mariam, whose goal is to enact AndIMustScream on as many bit-beasts as she can, is horrified. It is she too who destroys the equipment used on Tyranno. |
| 441 | * NoNameGiven: An ambiguous case for the Japanese version. The trial team are among the few bladers who address their bit-beasts by a different name than their beyblades. The bit-beast's name tends to be spoken, while the bey's name can be read during the rare shot where the bey lies still facing the camera. However, Dennis's bey never does. The one blader following after Dennis, Denny, addresses his bit-beast by the same name as is written on the bey, so it remains possible that "Tyranno" is both the bit-beast's and the bey's name. |

It's not revealed if this was even possible, but Zeo and Zagāto learned to accept his robotic nature as it is. |
| 473 | ** Overlaps with DeadPersonImpersonation for the manga, where he's the original Zeo's younger brother Leon. Ten years prior, the original Zeo died in a traffic accident. Despairing, Zagāto learned of the possibility that the four holy bit-beasts could bring Zeo back to life. Zagāto then began training Leon, two years old or so at the time, to make him capable of acquiring the quartet by whichever means necessary. In the process, he also manipulated Leon into emulating Zeo as much as possible, styling his hair the same way, wearing the same clothes, becoming a violin player, and even taking his older brother's name, though with the alternative spelling ZO. Leon went along with this because he wished to make his father happy. However, once he realized that Zagāto saw him as a means to an end rather than appreciate him as a son, he rebelled. Zagāto accepted this and apologized, allowing Leon to become Leon again and abandoning his goal of reviving Zeo. |
| 474 | * TomatoSurprise: In the anime, Zeo's true identity is that of an android designed in the image of the original Zeo, who has died. The android Zeo didn't know this until his father told him the truth, and very people knew about it prior to Zeo's participation in the World Tournament. |
| 475 | * WickedCultured: True for his manga self. Zeo plays the violin, a hobby copied from his older brother, and is in the middle of a tune when he meets Takao for the first time in [=I-V8C4=] and [=I-V9C1=]. He asks Takao if he likes the requiem he's written for him and Takao's ego takes a jump at someone composing music for him until Kyōju informs him that a requiem is a song for the dead. |

| 487 | * FireIceDuo: He and Zeo form one, respectively representing ice and fire. The usual color schemes are maintained for the beys, but are reversed for the bladers. |
| 488 | * FlatCharacter: Poor Gordo may have been given a unique design, a cool bit-beast, and been partnered to one of the most important characters of ''V-Force'', but there's almost nothing to say about him personality-wise. Even Aoki's notes show disinterest, as all the mangaka says is that he was asked to design a partner for Zeo and so he did. |
| 489 | * MultipleHeadCase: As per Ancient Greek mythology, Orthros has two heads. |
| 490 | * SuddenNameChange: In the notes on Aoki's website, Gordo's entry is marked as Garuda (ガルダ). This name also shows up in the episode summaries on the official Japanese website. It is clear that Gordo is the final name, but the reason for the change is not. Possibly, him sharing a name with well-known bird deity while wielding a dog-type bit-beast was deemed confusing. |

| 498 | The head of Zagāto Industries and the father of Zeo and Leon. In the anime, he's also a former research partner of Daitenji. In response to Zeo's death, he's devoted his life to getting his son back by any means available. |
| 499 | ---- |
| 500 | * WalkingSpoiler: Not as badly as his sons, but that's already too much said. |
| 501 | ---- |
| 502 | * AbusiveParents: In the manga. Pushing your youngest son to abandon his own name and identity to take on those of his deceased older brother can only be called depraved. And then he abandoned his decade-long goal of reviving his oldest son because... your guess is as good as any. |
| 503 | * EvilFormerFriend: In the anime, he is this to Daitenji as per [=S2E30=]. They used to be research partners until they got their hands on a stone tablet filled with mysterious energy. Zagāto saw more opportunity than his partnership with Daitenji offered and one night stole the tablet not to be seen again until decades later. |
| 504 | * HighClassGlass: On occasion, Zagāto dons a high-tech monocle on his left eye. It helps establish him as evil. |
| 505 | * KarmaHoudini: |
| 506 | ** In the anime, Zagāto has blood on his hands. How much depends on interpretation and then there's situations in which no one died but he wouldn't have been bothered if anyone did that may or may count, but at best he's got responsibility for the deaths of Gideon and Doctor B. There's no sign by the end of ''V-Force'' he'll ever be bothered for that. |
| 507 | ** In the manga, Zagāto is in league with Volkov. And as if that's not enough, he's robbed his youngest son from his identity to serve as a living memorial dedicated to his oldest son. He also subjected Leon to a decade-long intense training program so he could take the four holy bit-beasts from whomever would have them, never once caring about the boy's successes other than what they could contribute to the goal of bringing Zeo back to life. He came around, though, and apparently that's all that matters. |
| 508 | * KnightTemplarParent: Is this in the manga to his oldest son Zeo, but explicitly not to his youngest son Leon. He's the trope in full force in the anime, though, where he's willing to sacrifice people left and right just to give the android Zeo a chance to become human, when that, all things considered, would barely change anything for either him or Zagāto. |
| 509 | * SeeksAnothersResurrection: In the manga, he wants the four holy bit-beasts to resurrect Zeo, his oldest son. |
| 510 | * ShoutOut: According to Aoki's website, Zagāto is named after Gepetto of ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio'' fame, in reference to him being the father of a boy who is not quite human. |
| 511 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: He's got (normal) red hair, green eyes, and he's the source of almost all antagonism the BBA Team faces in ''V-Force''. |

| 518 | ---- |
| 519 | * MultinationalTeam: Implied. The Barthez Soldats are only defined as being a European team, which, certainly with the Majestic 4 in mind, suggests multinationality, although there's little on where they're from specifically. On his website, Aoki mentions that Michael is named after Michael Schumacher, suggesting German roots in the same way the Majestic 4 are named after race car drivers from their respective countries, and that Aaron is a Jamaican boy. Since ''Rising'', Mathilda is confirmed to be from the UK by use of the same non-specific "igirisu" as is used for Johnny. |
| 520 | * PowerGivesYouWings: In the anime, each member of the team gains wings for the duration of an intense battle. Michael demons wings akin to Death Gargoyle's and Claude get angel wings akin to Killer Eagle's.

| 573 | A Spanish team consisting of sibling bladers and their coach. |
| 574 | ---- |
| 575 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the manga, F-Dynasty are from an upperclass Spanish family. In the anime this could still be true, but their childhood is switched from living with their biological family to being part of a circus family. |
| 576 | * BlueBlood: As mentioned above, the Fernandez siblings are heavily implied to be nobility in the manga, but this might not be true in the anime. It makes their name in the anime less logical, because "Sangre" (which is Spanish for "Blood") and "Dynasty" suggest lineage of note. |
| 577 | * BrotherSisterTeam: Julia and Raul are twins and form a beyblade team. |
| 578 | * CircusBrat: Only in the anime. |
| 579 | * ElementalHairColors: The Fernandez Twins both have brown hair, but they also each have a second color: orange for Julia's thunder and red for Raul's torch. In the anime, they had these colors since early childhood, possibly as part of their circus look. |

| 581 | * SuperiorTwinTeamwork: Twins Julia and Raul are at their best when they play in double matches. They will often goat their opponents into fighting them in doubles, and they will most likely beat them due to their superior teamwork. Even those who do have good team chemistry with each other are in a disadvantage against the two siblings, making them an effective DualBoss near the end of the TournamentArc. In singles they're not nearly as good.

| 612 | ---- |
| 613 | * AscendedExtra: You'd be forgiven if you didn't know Romero exists in the manga, because there's exactly one panel featuring him, a little behind Julia and Raul, in [=I-V10C2=]. He's neither named nor introduced. You can sort of infer from his position combined with the information that F-Dynasty is a sibling team that he's the coach, but that's as far as it goes. In the anime, he's got his own bey, was responsible for getting the twins into professional beyblading, and coached Kai for a short period. |
| 614 | * CampStraight: Romero is easily the most swish adult male character of the franchise and the best candidate for the most swish male character period. But he is attracted to women only, to the point that it's a FunnyBackgroundEvent-type RunningGag. Every time there is a slideshow sequence, Romero'll be seen hitting on another woman. In [=S3E26=], he hits on a flight attendant. In [=S3E30=], he hits on Judy and then has to run for his dear life from Tarō. In [=S3E52=], he hits on Keiko with Tarō looking at him incredulously. |
| 615 | * DanceBattler: Averted. According to Aoki's website, Romero was designed with a flamenco dancer in mind and while his design was slightly toned down from that for the anime he still loves dancing. But he doesn't combine it with blading the rare times he enters a beybattle, despite that almost every blader in the show combines blading with another core talent if they have one. |
| 616 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Of all people, it is him who does this to Kai during his HeroicBSOD after he was defeated by Brooklyn. |

Team Battle!!''. |
| 628 | * AmbiguousSituation: With the exception of Ming-Ming, there's reason not to take their blader rankings in [=S3E41=] seriously. The rankings mostly don't match between the two lists given, making it possible the rankings in the first list were only to put the names of the Ming-Ming Band and the Training Squad together for the audience's sake. |
| 629 | * GirlPosse: Has shades of this. Ming-Ming is the AlphaBitch, the rest her posse. Chiru-Chiru would be the BetaBitch on the argument she's the one most often depicted next to Ming-Ming. |
| 630 | * InstrumentOfMurder: Each of the band members wields an instrument-shooter hybrid. |
| 631 | * LetterMotif: The band minus Ming-Ming herself all have the letter "M" incorporated in their outfits. Chiru-Chiru's and the drummer's are yellow, while the bassist's is pink. |
| 632 | * SailorSenshiSendUp: In an interview, director Yoshihiro Nagamori explained that he'd purposefully added elements of [[Anime/SailorMoon Sailor Moon]] to Ming-Ming, like her TransformationSequence. The interview doesn't say more, but Ming-Ming also definitely has traits of Sailor Venus and there are design similarities between the three band members and Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and Sailor Jupiter. |

| 693 | * DealWithTheDevil: Their deal with Volkov is this, whom they didn't know was a scumbag. Moses was given an opportunity to earn money for his sister's treatment, Ming-Ming's dream of being an idol was fulfilled, and Garland was given the means to adhere to his family tradition of being a champion. Then came [=S3E50=], and finally they understood how deep they were in. |
| 694 | * FiveManBand: Played with. On the surface, Brooklyn is the leader, Garland is the lancer, Mystel is the smart guy, Moses is the big guy, and Ming-Ming is the chick. However, the roles overlap or are played differently. For the first, an example is that Moses is far more the heart of the team than Ming-Ming even though Ming-Ming still has the heart theme. For the second, an example is that Mystel is the smart guy on account of being the sneaky guy. Notably, while Brooklyn is the leader de iure, Garland is the leader de facto. |

Kai shouting "IT'S NOT JUST A GAME TO ME!" to him right before his finishing blow gives Brooklyn a massive FreakOut. |

| 736 | ---- |
| 737 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Ming-Ming reads as Chinese, but has a skin tone far darker than is normally incorporated in the design of Chinese characters, let alone [[LightGirlDarkBoy female ones]]. It's unexpected. |
| 738 | * CombatPragmatist: During difficult beyblade matches she sings for two reasons: it helps her fighting better, and it ''drives her opponents mad'', making them more prone to errors. |
| 739 | * DecompositeCharacter: According to Aoki's website, Ming-Ming is based on the same concept that was the origin of Mutsuki. |
| 740 | * DeliberatelyCuteChild: Ming-Ming's Loli Form is small, big-eyed, insufferably cutesy, and the version she consciously uses for her career as an idol. |
| 741 | * EvilDiva: Ming-Ming is the lead singer of the Ming-Ming Band. |

| 744 | * MagicIdolSinger |
| 745 | * OlderAlterEgo: That and/or SleepModeSize. Ming-Ming has a Loli Form to use for her career as an idol and a Queen Form to use for her career as a beyblader. And while her Loli Form is the one she uses most often, nothing suggests either form to be more true than the other. Her apparent age also stays within the usual range for bladers regardless of her form, making her age change less significant than it normally is for a MagicIdolSinger. |
| 746 | * SomethingAboutARose: In Loli Form, Ming-Ming wears red roses lines with daisies as if it's odango hair. Ming-Ming's symbol in Queen Form is a lavender rose. She usually just holds it, but she can also send it off as a non-weaponized [[PetalPower petal storm]]. |

| 755 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Masachika Takatsuka (Japanese), Richard Dumont (English) |
| 756 | ---- |
| 757 | * {{BFG}}: Follows on DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength. When starting out as a blader, Moses was given a regular shooter by Volkov, but he proved too strong to handle it without breaking it. It might very well be the only time Volkov was genuinely amused. Moses received a massive shooter thereafter, which he carries around in parts and assembles on the spot when he has to battle. |

| 762 | * ManlyTears: Large, strong, and dangerous, but easily the one character who cries the most in the entire franchise relative to their appearances. He cries during [=S3E33=], his very first episode, when he tells Takao about his sister and how only thanks to Volkov he can help pay for her treatment. He cries in [=S3E44=] when Rei congratulates him on winning the match and commends his love for his sister. And he cries in [=S3E50=] over the conflict between carrying out Volkov's orders full-well knowing they are morally wrong. |
| 763 | * PowerTattoo: |
| 764 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: SquatsInAName applies because it doesn't mean anything in-universe. Moses is the one black guy of the main manipulated-into-villainy team of the second half of ''G-Revolution''. Aaron is the one of the first half. |
| 765 | * TrenchCoatWarfare: Moses's BadassLongcoat is of practical nature. It's lined with pockets on the inside for all the components of his shooter. The shooter itself is way too large to carry around, so he brings it along in parts. If he's got a match ahead, he can assemble his shooter in seconds. |

| 790 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Goes hand-in-hand with NamedByTheAdaptation, AscendedExtra, and AdaptationalAttractiveness. In the manga, the character is nameless and a member of the Shell Killers (his role as a beyblade thief went to Hiruta in the anime). The anime [[TrickBoss plays with this]] when Nobuo gets onscreen and is made to look like a violent bully. However, a minute or so later it becomes clear that he and Takao are actually good friends, just a tad insistent when it comes to beyblading. Nobuo later also befriends Akira and along with him and Takao helps a little kid get back at his own bully. As for his looks, his nose is more pronounced and somewhat angular in the manga than in the anime and its appearance is used as an insult to him. |

| 792 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Becomes this with Akira in [=S1E18=], the BreatherEpisode in which Takao and Kyōju return home for a while. |
| 793 | * SoreLoser: In the manga, Nobuo had taken the beyblades of anyone he defeated. Takao challenged him for it, meaning Nobuo would return all beys if he lost and acquire the beys of all of Takao's supporters if he won. He lost and tried to escape with the beyblades. He did return them grudgingly but willingly when Takao stopped him not to demand the beys back but to hand him his own which he was forgetting about. |

But he got negative feedback on that idea, so for the manga he changed it by making the second Zeo the original's younger brother instead. |

It can be assumed that the boy opposite Monica is another sibling, but with how close he must be in age to Monica convention raises the unanswered question if they're twins. As for the rest, in Japanese Moses talks about his father, his mother, and his "kyōdai-tachi". "Kyōdai" refers to an older brother and younger brother(s), but can also be used to refer to siblings regardless of age and gender. "Tachi" is an explicit plural. Because he is speaking about how the family is working hard for Monica's sake, Monica isn't included in this use of "kyōdai-tachi". The photo doesn't provide enough detail to tell the age of anyone but the two kids nor do the characters stand in a way that communicates anything. The woman on the right might be the mother, but she also might be another sister, while of the men on the left the blond one only seems slightly older than the brunet. |

| 921 | * FanGirl: Waver towards this in regards to Giancarlo. They do not care about beyblading, but do think Giancarlo looks mighty sexy when he beybattles. Even when they barely know what's going on, they're observant enough of his actions that it took Kyōju eavesdropping on them for the BBA to figure out Giancarlo's strategy. |
| 922 | * TheFashionista: Moreso in the original than in the dub. In the former, almost every plan they make with Giancarlo is about going shopping for new clothes and accessories. In the latter, they still make mention of going shopping, but food and going out on Giancarlo's yacht replace some of the dialogue's focus. |

One hint of doubt on Doctor B's part whether they can and Gideon puts the fear in him by showing a before-unseen aggressive side. Notably, Doctor B is much more stressed during the cyber bit-beast project than during the island project. |
| 940 | * TheDragon: He is under direct command of Doctor Zagāto, who is effectively behind all the trouble the Bladebreakers face in ''V-Force''. It comes in the TheManBehindTheMan variety, because while Gideon is introduced in the third episode, Zagāto's existence is not revealed until the twentieth episode. |
| 941 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: Gideon dies without there being any explanation why he did what he did. He worked for Doctor Zagāto, but did he have the same goal of making Zeo human or did he think it was something else they were after? |
| 942 | * KarmicDeath: He dies from having the ceiling fall down on him when his lair collapses. How did it come to collapse? Because of the damage dealt by the very cyber bit-beasts he ordered to be created. It also comes close to the way Doctor B died at Gideon's hands. |
| 943 | * ShoutOut: According to Aoki's website, Gideon is designed to be fox- and cat-like as per the duo from ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio''. The name "Gideon" comes from the [[{{WesternAnimation/Pinocchio}} Disney version of the cat]]. |
| 944 | * UndyingLoyalty: In both versions but stronger in the dub. While Gideon's life is on the line when he finds himself in a CollapsingLair, he still worries about his duty to report to Zagāto. |

| 949 | [[caption-width-right:300:Character: ドクターB / Doctor B]] |
| 950 | [[AC:First Appearance: [=S2E6=]]] |
| 951 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TsuyoshiKoyama (Japanese), Creator/TonyDaniels (English) |
| 952 | One of the main geniuses of Zagāto Industries and Gideon's right-hand man. He created the magtram and the cyber bit-beasts and presumably had a role in the development of Psykick's other tech. |
| 953 | ---- |
| 954 | * BaldOfEvil: He's bald and he's evil. |
| 955 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: For all that he was fine letting children go BrainwashedAndCrazy under the influence of the cyber bit-beasts, he doesn't appear to have been immune himself. When Cyber Dragoon thrashes the facility, putting everyone inside in danger, Doctor B (eventually) responds with delight at having created something so powerful. He's fully prepared to hit the [[SelfDestructMechanism self-destruct button]] then and is only stopped because Gideon isn't as cool with dying. Doctor B subsequently hits a damaged computer, resulting in electrocution followed by the ceiling collapsing on top of him. |
| 956 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Doctor B does nothing that requires a labcoat, but almost always wears one. He exchanges it for a suit only when he has to deal with the world outside of Team Psykick, such as when he has to talk with Daitenji. |
| 957 | * MadScientist: The fact he took pride in creating unstoppable, independent, and life-draining bit-beasts should say enough. The list of unethical practices he's dabbled in is significant. |
| 958 | * NumberTwo: He's this to Gideon within their part of Zagāto Industries. Gideon let him take full authority during the island project even. |
| 959 | * OnlyKnownByInitials: Like Mister B before him and Doctor K after him, Doctor B is only ever referred to as "Doctor B". |
| 960 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Mister B from the manga, also a scientist but a good one. It's mostly the curious codename that links the two. |

| 965 | [[caption-width-right:300:Character: ドクターK / Doctor K]] |
| 966 | [[AC:First Appearance: [=S2E29=]]] |
| 967 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Hikaru Ikeda (Japanese), Creator/JoanneVannicola (English) |
| 968 | Another of the main geniuses of Zagāto Industries, but one who ended up feeling unrecognized after being told to put the project to steal the Bladebreakers' bit-beasts on hold. She secretly continued, but was discovered and summarily fired along with her assistant Dan. She retaliated by becoming the Parts Hunters' coach. |
| 969 | ---- |
| 970 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Doctor K does nothing that requires a labcoat, but always wears one during her time in Zagāto's employ. Thereafter, she exchanges it for a white BadassLongcoat of similar proportions. |
| 971 | * MadScientist: |
| 972 | * OnlyKnownByInitials: Like Mister B and Doctor B before her, Doctor K is only ever referred to as "Doctor K". |

| 977 | [[caption-width-right:300:Character: Dan]] |
| 978 | [[AC:First Appearance: [=S2E29=]]] |
| 979 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Katashi Ishizuka (Japanese), Jonathan Potts (English) |
| 980 | Doctor K's loyal right-hand man and all-around assistant. |
| 981 | ---- |
| 982 | * TheConsigliere: Dan is among the few Doctor K trusts and cares to hear out, as is evident in [=S2E32=], Unfortunately for Dan, Doctor K is a stubborn and arrogant employer. |
| 983 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Dan isn't named in the original version. The credits only list him as "sanbō", meaning "advisor" or "(military) staff member". He is named "Dan" in the dub. |
| 984 | * RightHandHottie: To Doctor K, although it does nothing to make her kinder to him. |
| 985 | * SinisterShades: Dan rarely shows his eyes, usually having them hidden behind his shades. It creates a moment of vulnerability in the Japanese version of [=S2E35=] when after another failure he tries to speak confidence into Doctor K She slaps him so hard for it that his glasses are knocked off his head. He only stares at her incredulously. |
| 986 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Doctor K's fate is ambiguous as it is, but Dan's worse off. His last appearance is in [=S2E46=]. He watches the match between the Parts Hunters and the Saint Seals with her and then isn't seen or talked about when Doctor K is brought down an episode later. |

| 989 | [[folder:Jean-Paul Barthez]] |
| 990 | [[caption-width-right:300:Character: ジャンポール・バルテズ / Jean-Paul Barthez]] |
| 991 | [[AC:First Appearance: [=I-V10C2=]; [=S3E7=]]] |
| 992 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Hitoshi Bifu (Japanese), Creator/EdwardGlen (English) |
| 993 | ---- |
| 994 | * AscendedExtra: You'd be forgiven if you didn't know Barthez exists in the manga, because there's exactly one panel featuring him, a little behind the Barthez Soldats, in [=I-V10C2=]. He's neither named nor introduced. You can sort of infer from his position combined with the team name that he's the coach, but that's as far as it goes. It's worth noting that in the manga the Barthez Soldats become evil under influence of the Heavy Metal System, but as it isn't even certain Barthez is still with the team at that point, his exact role is guesswork. In the anime, he's straight-up evil, in league with Volkov, and the reason the Barthez Soldats serve as a villain team for some time. |
