Garland Siebald

Garland Siebald

Garland is a confident blader who aims to be a champion of the BEGA league. He came from a family of many sports players, all his brothers and sisters have been champions in their sports except him. He chose Beyblading to follow his dream of becoming champion like them. He is proud of his Siebald family name and fights for it. He is arrogant at times due to his confidence and underestimates bladers such as Tyson. His type of blading style is much like the style used in regular and kick boxing. He lets his opponent get worn out and he comes in for the kill. As seen in most of his battles, he usually finishes a regular battle with a round house kick.

He first appeared by defeating both Bryan and Spencer of the Blitzkrieg Boys at once, indicating his powerful Beyblade. He was so strong and aggressive during his beyblade match against Tala Valkov of the Blitzkrieg Boys that he put him into hospital- his means of winning was to not only hit his opponent's beyblade, but to launch a physical martial arts attack on the blader themselves. Garland follows his family's principles of winning during his Beyblade match against Tyson, but he realizes that he was acting according to his family's principles, and not his. And during Tyson's match against Brooklyn, he also realized that although BEGA work together, they aren't a true team.

Garland is a member of team BEGA, the second strongest next to Brooklyn according to some fans. In battle, he chooses to use his numerous fighting skills in martial arts. Such vicious battle strategies have direct impact on the opponent, as seen during Garland's beybattle against Yuriy, in episode 36. The latter collapsed after the match due to his injuries. Garland's family, the Siebolds, is one of success. His brother Jesse exceeded in baseball, his brother Todd in soccer, his sister Kylie in tennis, his sister Brit in golf and Jamie in racing. As it became a tradition over the years for every member of the family to be a professional in the sport they chose, Garland decided, at a very young age, that his sport would be Beyblading. The principles are as follows :

Japanese - The fight starts the moment the opponent is known. Japanese - In a match, the one in control will have victory. Japanese - Even if your back is turned to the enemy, do not turn your heart to them. Japanese - If you have already gone by your usual road, go by another road that is visible. Japanese - Once recognised, an opponent you respect can still push you down. Japanese - Consequently make a beautiful conclusion.
 * 1 : Know your opponent as you know yourself.
 * 8 : The opponent with the most powerful first strike wins the game.
 * 23 : Even if you turn your back to your enemy, never turn your heart.
 * 28 : Go in the direction you never go, for there lies the pathway to victory.
 * 45 : Give no quarter to an opponent you respect.
 * 79 : Swift end to honor opponents.

In his room, Garland has tons of swords different in size hung on the walls, as well as training equipment and a crest which is not his family's. He also allowed Brooklyn to stay in his garden, and probably also at his house, after the last battle of Justice 5. --Garland's Beyblade: Appolon Appolon's Attacks: Radiant Thunder
