All Starz

All Starz

The All Starz (known as the PPB All Starz in G Revolution) are a fictional team of Beybladers in the anime series Beyblade. The team consisted of Michael, Steven, Eddy and Emily in the First Season, and Max and Rick in the Third season, while Michael, Eddie and Emily would be supporting members, and Steven would not appear in the entire season. Nevertheless, he is seen with a broken foot during the anime final epilogue cut by Nelvana. They hail from the United States of America, and except for Max and Rick, they love other sports apart from Beyblade: Michael plays Baseball, Steven plays Rugby, Eddy plays Basketball and Emily plays Tennis. Also, during the First Season, they use sports-related objects as launchers: Michael throws a baseball with a baseball glove, Steven kicks a rugby ball, Eddy dunks a basketball on the ground, and Emily uses a tennis racquet to strike a Tennis ball.

In the original version, The All Starz are always known as the PPB All Stars. The dub removed PPB and placed it back in in G-Revolution, and they replaced the last "s" with "z". They are also the only team in season one to have all its members keep their original names.

History: Beyblade Season One (1) By being the top American team, they had a huge success during the American championship. When the fight against the Blade Breakers arrives, everyone is able to see that this is a fight of skills against science. Tyson defeats Steven after he looses his mind during the fight. Eddy easily defeats Ray. Michael then confronts Max, and is defeated by him even though he had all the technology on his side. During the finals in Russia, all the team's bit beasts are taken by Kai and his Black Dranzer, even though he fought alone against all them at the sime time. They recover their bit beasts after end of the championship, though. [edit]G-Revolution Main article: Beyblade G-Revolution The All Starz reappear in the third season, as the PPB All Starz (PPB stands for Project Power Beyblade which is told in the very first series of beyblade when the Bladebreakers visit the PPB center to check out their competition), with a modified player line-up, excluding Steven (who was revealed in the finale to be in the hospital with an injured leg) and adding Max Tate and Rick Anderson. On the first chapters, Rick win against Michael, this victory bring him the main place in the team, along with Max, who win against Emily. At first, Rick doesn't want to cooperate with Max, and only want to win by himself. Their first battles against the F-Dynasty and the Barthez Battalion are easily won by them, but they are now seen as villains, for Rick having seriously injured Claude during his fight, even though it was a plan by the Barthez Commander. When they fight against the Blietzkrieg Boys, Max is defeated by Kai, despite Max's new Draciel Gravity. Rick then beats Tala up very quickly, and then strikes Kai with extreme force, only to be defeated by Kai's delicate moves. the next fight was against the White Tiger X, and he is forced to fight together with Max against Ray and Lee. During this fight, Rick finally learns how to work in a team. Their final match is againxt the BBA Revolution. Rick is defeated by Daichi after a long and heavy fight, and Max barely looses to Tyson. Although he didn't win the battle, he managed to at least severely damage Tyson's Dragoon. In the BEGA saga, Max wins a place on the new team G-Revolutions, and Michael and Emily brings them the pieces for new beyblades plus assistance from Rick, especially when he partners up with Lee of the White Tigers to protect Tyson during Ming-Ming and Crusher's reluctant attempt to incapacitate the world champion under orders from Boris before the BEGA Justice 5 tiebreaker battle.

Members:

Michael: Age: Season 1- 16, Season 3- 18 Michael is the team captain of the All-Starz and is first shown in Episode 20; Series 1, in a quick screen shot with him shadowed so it's not possible to see his face. Then in Episode 22 he is shown as an arrogant, over confident show off who does not like it when people question his abilities (ie. Judy and Emily). He is first shown to place his trust totally in science and that skill will never beat it. Until Max, in Episode 28 beats him with sheer skill and power. He realises that skill and heart are much better than science afterward. During G-Revolution, he is seen with a new haircut (long, straight blonde hair, with his right eye being covered by his bangs). He is defeated by Rick during the American eliminations of the Beyblade Championship, and confronts Judy by saying: "Now you have your team, so I guess you don't need us anymore." He and Rick never really get along, but later in the series they have been shown to at least tolerate each other.

Rick Anderson: Rick is a bull like strong blader but he doesn't have respect for the game. He first appears in G-Revolution where he teams up with Max and forms the PPB All Starz. His bitbeast is Rock Bison and his finishing move is the drop rock attack. Rick was born in a rough neighbourhood where everybody cared for themselves. He is dominant in the first couple of matches where he physically destroys the left arm of Claude of the Barthez Battalion and in his second match where he manhandles Raul of the F- Dynasty. During the fight against the White Tiger X, he is forced to fight together with Max against Ray and Lee. During this fight, Rick learns how to work in a team. However, his dream of becoming the world champion ends when he and Max are defeated by the BBA Revolution. After the championship ends, he supports the G-Revolution team as they get ready to fight the BEGA League.

Emily: Age: Season 1- 15, Season 3- 17 Emily is first shown in Episode 19 ; Series 1, she is shown to be quite snobby and stuck up. She does not like trash talk, as she jumps to the challenge when Tyson exclaims that he is just as good as those trained in the PPB corporation. She beats Max in a small beyblade match showing the strength of the All Starz in that match. She is the only girl of the All Starz team. Emily relies solely on science to help her team beat their opponents. She uses a tennis racket for a launcher in the first season. During the third season, she loses to Max during the American eliminatories of the Beyblade Championship, and refuses his words of encouragement. She has shown affection toward Max and Kenny on occasion. Voiced by Yukari Honma. Beyblades Trygator Attacks:Water Smash Trygator 2 Attacks:Alligator's Bites

Eddy: Age: Season 1- 17, Season 3- 19 Eddy fits in perfectly with the All-Starz due to his love for basketball. Rarely ever seen without his basketball by his side, Eddy is a valuable asset to the All-Starz, even though he might not be as strong as some of the others. Eddy is first show during episode 20 with the another one of his team mates; Steven. He is shown to have grey/black hair and is African American. Eddy is an all round easy going character but will step up to fight if his team is being trash talked. Eddy is seen multiple times during the American Tournament and at the very end of the Tournament is seen to be battling the Bladebreakers team mate, Ray. Eddy has the upper hand with the dish that has been selected making it easier for him to beat Ray in 2 battles, the last one not needing to be played as Eddy won the best of three. Eddy is then seen during the Russian Championships along with is team and faces the Demolition Boys Captain, Tala. He loses the battle quite easily, shocking him and his team. During the third season, his hair is blonde and his lips are no longer drawn with emphasis. He is then seen again in Season 3, with a different hair style(now grey and what seems to be a bleached blond colour for his hair) and is pretty much in the same outfit; besides the new PPB jackets. He has a battle with Rick, another African American with grey hair(soon to be a member of the team) and Eddy seems to tie with Rick in what seems to be a unfair battle as the Rick follows by no rules of Beyblading. Eddy is seen again in further episodes(episode 7) and by the looks of things lost his tournament battle to become a tag team member, but he supports his other team mates; Emily and Michael in trying to win their respectful battles.

Steven: Age: Season 1- 17 Steve used to be a pro football player before being kicked off his team for unsportman-like conduct(Dizzi states this in the dubbed version) and then takes up Beyblade to beat other players which his sheer brute force of power. Steven uses a beyblade with more powerful attack rings in an attempt to do more damage in battle. Steve was first seen in Episode 20 with his team mate Eddy when the Blade Breakers decided to check out the PPB Corp. Ray challenged Steven to a battle, but lost the battle after Steven's bitbeast overpowers Driger. Steven then proceeds to show the Bladebreakers the exact power of his blade by smashing a hard glass wall behind the Bladebreakers, of which Tyson tried to smash but failed. Steven is then seen multiple times leading up to the final American Tournament Battle against Tyson. The first round, Steven lets him have a easy win, to allow his team to collect data on his newer attack moves and such, so they know what to expect the next battle. The 2nd battle is won pretty easily by Steven after a few new battle techniques he overcomes Tyson for a victory. The 3rd battle, being the longest; Tyson tries out some new battle techniques to catch the All Starz data collecting system off guard and to make Steven, who can not keep up with him; get angry. With Steven getting angry, he fails to concentrate on the battle at hand and Tyson simply uses his special attack to finish him off. Steven loses this battle. Steven in then seen again during the Russian Championships, he battles the Demolition Boys 'Ian'. Ian beats him with incredible ease, leaving the Steven annoyed once more. Voiced by Kenichi Suzumura.
