Joshua Burns

Joshua Boon (ジョシュア・ブーン Buun Joshua), also known as Joshua Burns in the English dub, is a character in Beyblade Burst Evolution. He is a famous Hollywood actor, and is ranked as the third best Blader in the world as a part of the Big Five. Joshua is also a member of the Raging Bulls. His Beyblade is Jinnius J3 5Glaive Guard.

Appearance
Joshua is a young man with tanned skin, green eyes, and ruffled black hair that is curled over and usually covers one of his eyes. Joshua also has a birthmark beneath his left eye. He wears a white formal announcer's suit with golden buttons over a blue workshirt with a yellow tie and a "J" letter-shaped badge on his left side of his suit in manga.

When he is in disguise, Joshua uses a white and blue baseball cap to cover his hair, and wears a green shirt with dark green overalls and blue stripes on the sleeves.

Personality
Much like Zac from the previous season, Joshua is a famous celebrity with a flashy personality. He always loves the spotlight and views winning as enjoying it. He is an actor with a showy attitude, at and away from the camera. Underneath his fun persona, he’s very driven and prideful, to the point where his thoughts of being the best blader can clash over staying calm.

He is also bold, and does not care about what others tell him to do, as he refuses to follow the script in his movies when he finds that they aren't to his liking. Joshua also doesn't hesitate to change the roles of those in his movies, like when he recasts Christina Kuroda from a villain to a princess in his latest movie featuring Valt Aoi, Rantaro Kiyama, and Cuza Ackerman as space ninjas.

Occasionally, Joshua is also rude, as when Wakiya Murasaki offers to let him join Sunbat United, he refuses and says it is a D-list team that no superstar can join.

Joshua is not above using his superstar position to take control over others. When Theodore Glass offers him the position of being the captain of the Raging Bulls again, Joshua agrees because he can't refuse being Free de la Hoya's team leader, even though he earlier tells Theodore that he doesn't want to be on the team.
