Gingka Hagane (鋼 銀河, Hagane Ginga) is the primary protagonist of the Metal Saga.

Gingka Hagane holds the title as the "No. 1 Blader in the World" and a Blader of the Four Seasons, representing the season of Autumn. Gingka is reknown worldwide for saving the world on three occasions. Ending the Lightning L-Drago 100HF's corruption of Ryuga and the Dark Nebula organization, destroying the Spiral Core powered by Faust and Twisted Tempo 145WD in Hades City, and most recently, defeating the God of Destruction, Nemesis after its rebirth and as a result, saved mankind for the greater good.

Ever since then, he has gained worldwide recognition for his actions and underwent training oversees. Gingka Hagane used three Beyblades throughout: Storm Pegasus 105RF, Galaxy Pegasus W105R2F, and his most recent one, Cosmic Pegasis F:D.

A native of Koma Village, Gingka turned from a naive young boy into a mature young man. From the search of the Forbidden Bey, to the Beyblade World Championships, and the quest for the Legendary Bladers, Gingka's made many different friends and enemies.

As a former member of Team GanGan Galaxy, he takes pride and endeavor when it comes to Beyblade. Gingka Hagane lives by a value, a value called the Blader's Spirit. It is this how Gingka was able to accomplish so much in his life. To this day, Gingka would not be the man he is today, without the constant help and support he received from his friends, family, and values.

Physical Appearance
Gingka has dark red spiky hair. He wears a blue headband with a design of the mystical animal, Pegasus, on it, but it has only one wing, whereas his father's headband had two wings on it. His headband does not get two wings on it until the Metal Fury series.

He also has golden-brown eyes and a broken nose which he may have got from beyblading. His usual outfit consists of a long white scarf around his neck, a short blue short-sleeved jacket, a plain orange shirt, white and blue gloves, a red and a brown belt around his waist, which has a pouch for his beyblade, black pants, and red and navy blue colored shoes. The white long scarf represents Pegasus' wings. He keeps his beyblade gear on his belt so that he can quickly use it whenever needed.

Gingka currently uses a String Launcher (Bey Launcher) with a Three Segment Launcher Grip in right-handed mode, and a Bey Point Card. Later, in Metal Fury, Gingka obtains a new headband that has a Pegasus and 2 wings like his father's headband, but is white and red.

Personality
Gingka is nice, calm, sometimes hyper, and will do whatever it takes to battle with his Bey; Pegasus, and protect his friends, as well as save the world from danger. Though he does get a bit worried when losing, he is never frightened and is always ready to battle again. No matter what disadvantages he faces, he never backs down from a challenge. He is always pumped up, ready to battle, never gives up, and fights till the end. "That's what makes the Blader's Spirit!"

Pegasus Has Landed
Gingka Hagane a blader with the calmest attitude and a passion for the Beyblade, also for helping out people in need. He shows himself sleeping strangely atop a water tower; awakening to begin the long journey ahead of him and his Storm Pegasus beyblade. A while after his awakening he catches a group of people known as Face Hunters bullying a young boy named Kenta.

Suprised by what has just happened, the leader of the group of thugs named Benkei challenged Gingka to a 5 vs. 1 handicap match. Even more suprised that Gingka defeated them without any effort. Kenta was happy that someone was there to save the day, and that he even had someone to look up to. Not long after that, they both became good friends and went to the Bey Park together.

During their first conversation alone at the park, Kenta asked Gingka where he was from. Gingka then revealed to Kenta that he had been traveling around the country looking for someone challenging enough to battle him. Gingka then reveals to Kenta what makes a true blader strong, saying its not the attack power or stamina, that its the the Beyblader's Heart.

The next day, one of the Face Hunters, Benkei, proposed a challenge for Gingka; he told him to meet them at a construction site. As soon as Gingka got there, one hundred Face Hunters thugs were there waiting with their beyblades, eager to battle Gingka to attempt at getting their revenge on him. Gingka remained calm and unfazed as 100 beys flew at him. Soon afterwards, Kenta arrived at the seen and showed some sadness toward Gingka, saying to him that this wasn't a bey battle and suggesting for him to run;but Gingka wasn't fazed, and he reassured Kenta that everything would be fine.

Gingka then decided to get serious and launched his Storm Pegasus into the battle, and unleashed his true power against them and defeated them with ease suprising them and they're leader Kyoya. Showing that a blader's true strength comes from their '''Blader Spirit. '''The leader of the Face Hunters then issues a challenge to Gingka, saying he is worthy enought to fight him and his Rock Leone.

Later that day, at the City Bowl, Gingka is seen beyblading against some kids, which he easily defeats their Blades in a single swipe. All the kids there got so excited that a strong Blader like Gingka had challenged them to a Beyblade match. Later he is then shown talking to Kenta again in the park about Kyoya and how powerful his Beyblade is. He is then analyzing Pegasus when Madoka appears in front of him commenting on Pegasus' poor condition. She then offers to treat Pegasus, and Gingka accepts. Madoka takes both Gingka and Kenta to the B-Pit, the Beyblade shop in town, which is also her house and decided to help them out. Madoka stays up all night repairing Pegasus while Gingka observes on a nearby couch, and eventually falls asleep.

The next day, the Face Hunter's took Kenta's beyblade and said to bring Gingka to Metal Tower or else they would destroy Sagittario. Kenta informs Gingka and Madoka of this and Gingka says he will get his beyblade back, Madoka advises Gingka that Pegasus's repairs are not yet complete and it would be dangerous if he battled with it. Gingka still battles as he stated he would battle and get Kenta's bey back.

Gingka and co. arrive at Metal Tower to see that he will have to battle Kyoya atop of the tower. At the start of the battle it is already shown that the Face Hunters chose the tower for a reason, to give Kyoya an advantage due to high wind currents. Madoka realizes that Leone's rotation creates the wind current to go faster and causing the wind to distort pegasus. Gingka gets worried at the site of Kyoya's special move Lion Gale Force Wall. Kenta starts saying to Gingka that its all his fault that his bey will lose (assuming that he will lose), but Gingka assures him that he will be victorius.

Gingka purposely gets his pegasus knocked into the air and calls out a special move Starblast Attack and came out with a victory against all odds. After the battle Madoka states that if something were to happen to pegasus it would have been all Gingka's fault and demands Gingka to apologize to Pegasus. Kyoya is suprised by his defeat and gets infuriated at the site and then a mysterious man says he can help him get his revenge on Gingka for his defeat.

Gingka is challenged to a battle by Kenta and to train him to become a strong beyblader like him, but turns out Gingka is wanted to be a trainer for Kenta and all of his friends; but Gingka isn't the kind of blader who teaches more or less many young kids.

Combating the Nebula
Time after his battle with Kyoya, Gingka faces an ex-face hunter Benkei in a battle with his new beybladse Dark Bull H145SD that he recieved from Doji said to have power stronger than Gingka's Pegasus making it able to defeat it, and that Defeating Gingka is the only way to get back Kyoya until Doji says so. Benkei accepts the task to defeat Gingka and searches out to find him.

Benkei leads Gingka and co. with his beyblade into a warehouse ready to battle. At the start of their battle his pegasus is being pushed back by bull but pegasus begins to get repelled by bull's horns; Gingka and co. start to get worried at the site of pegasus but he commands the warehouse starts collapsing in on them and he is saved by Benkei. Still eager to battle Benkei makes bull charge at pegasus but pegasus' special move repells bull causing Benkei a defeat.

When Kyoya is released from training by Doji, Kyoya dispands the Face Hunters and searches out to find someone for a battle.Kyoya finds Kenta and Benkei and challenges them to a battle in search of Gingka to get a rematch or his defeat;they both returned to the B-Pit,injured. That night, a furious Gingka sought out to find and battle Kyoya to get revenge for injuring Benkei and Kenta. Gingka notices that Kyoya has changed since the last time he battled him. Gingka says he cannot lose to to this new twisted Kyoya; But Gingka and co. fall for a trap as they believe Kyoya has unleashed his special move Lion Gale Force Wall but then is revealed to be a new special move Wild Wind Fang Dance and is repelled into the air.

Kyoya's Special Move's tornado is seen from all over the city suprising everyone. Doji is pleased at the fact that Kyoya is defeating Gingka due to his training. Many bladers appear on the seen and cheer on for him to defeat Kyoya. Gingka then realizes that he's been using the wrong way to win against Kyoya and that even Leone is saddened at the new Kyoya; but in no time Kyoya unveils a new special summon King Lion Tearing Blast. Kyoya believes he has won but Gingka states that battles isnt won by destruction its by spirit; and soon enough Gingka unveils a new Special Move Meteor Shower Attack and defeats Kyoya.

Shortly after the battle Doji arrives at the seen and suprises Gingka. Gingka challenges Doji to a battle but Doji denies the challenge and mentions his corparation Dark Nebula Organization and says that Kyoya's training was less than adequet and viciously attacks Kyoya at the scene.

Madoka, Kenta, Benkei had no idea what was going on, demanded an answer from Gingka. At first Gingka was reluctant to tell them anything, but after his friends convinced him,he told them about how Doji had a Forbidden Bey named Lightning L-Drago in which said posses an evil power inside of it. Gingka and co. make it toward the Dark Nebula Castle. Gingka advises them to wait outside but they state otherwise with caution. They are stalled by Defences put up by Doji so Gingka and co. cannot enter the castle. Gingka and co. and Doji are suprised at the site that Kyoya has arrived in order to help them.

Gingka and co. manage to break through by combining there special moves. Doji and his A.I system Merci have prepared a plan to stop them, but thy still succeed in passing by all of Doji's tasks and challenges including taking down taking down Dan and Reiki Sodo. Gingka then locates Doji and challenges him to a beybattle for revenge for his father. Doji accepts the challenge in order to stall for time.Doji's plan succeeds as his battle awakens Ryuga and Lightning L-Drago. Gingka and Doji run outside to encounter Ryuga's return. Gingka challenges the Re-Awakened Ryuga to a battle foolishly and Ryuga accepts. Ryuga's "Forbidden Bey" defeats Gingka without any effort leaving Gingka and co. in a state of shock. Gingka determined to get revenge sets out for a journey to find an ancient scroll said to say able to defeat the forbidden beyblade.

Return to the Bey Village
Shortly after his defeat to Ryuga, Gingka has nightmares about his battle again. He keeps thinking about his pegasus getting destroyed by L-Drago.Gingka then recalls something his father told him; that in Koma Village there was an ancient scroll that said how to defeat the forbidden bey.Still curious for how he knows Doji and Ryuga, Gingka finally tells the story of how Doji and Ryuga went to Koma Village to steal the forbidden beyblade his father was protecting from evil. He tells how Ryuga stole L-Drago and battled his father in order to escape with it; and in the process kills Gingka's Father Ryo Hagane.

In order to defeat L-Drago Gingka sets out to Koma Village to find the ancient scroll. Gingka's disappearnence for Koma Village leaves his friends in curiousity into where he went. Gingka's arrival in Koma Village suprises old childhood friends Hokuto and Hyoma. When he arrives Gingka tells his friends why he came back to the village. Gingka starts his search for the legendary scroll that is said to be hidden at the top of a dangerous mountain. Gingka sets off for this treacherous journey alone. While his friends journey to find their lonley depressed friend.

Gingka's long journey begins through dangerous weather and rapid winds while he tries to find the mountain that contains the scroll. Gingka's friends on the other hand reach the village and ask Hokuto and Hyoma where he went but have no luck. Gingka's journey then comes to a conclusion when he reaches the illegid location of the "legendary scroll"; but turns out it was a trick devised by his father many years before, the only scroll found was a letter to Gingka by his father saying that their is no real scroll that it was made up to test him and that the only way to defeat the darkness is with spirit.

That made Gingka realize that he has lost his bey spirit after his loss to Ryuga and was only out to find anyway to defeat him with revenge. Gingka then sets out to return to the village and then finds his bey spirit on the journey, learning that his bond with pegasus can overcome any foe. He then reaches the Village and sees his friends down below. His friends are shocked at the site that their friend Gingka has returned with a stronger bond with his bey pegasus.

Gingka is then challenged to a beybattle by Hyoma with his beyblade Rock Aries ED145B Hyoma says their battle will take place in the Green Hades. Hyoma then tells the story of the Green Hades it is a meteorite crater said to be formed by the very meteorite that created Pegasus and L-Drago. Hyoma starts off the battle dominating pegasus as the green hades' slippery sides are making pegasus' speed slow and unbalanced. Hyoma takes advantage of that and keeps attacking.

Madoka reveals that their is only one part with traction on the stadium which is the bottom. Hyoma reveals that he will defeat Gingka to the bottom and does so with his Eternal Defense spin track changing his beys direction sending it to the bottom of the arena. Gingka then sends pegasus at an attack at aries but Hyoma counters with his Special Move Horn Throw Destruction repelling Gingka but Gingka attempts to use his special move but misses and ends up cracking the arena floor, allowing traction to be made for pegasus and trapping aries in the spin track allowing pegasus to send it out of the stadium and Gingka a victory.

Road to Battle Bladers!
Once Gingka and co. returned to Metal Bey City they hear of a tournament called the Survival Battle, which takes place on an island with a total of 1000 bladers paricipating with the winner of the Survival Battle ges one wish made by the WBBA. With the tourament being planned Doji and Ryuga set out to find a new member of the Dark Nebula. When they arrive in the desert he is located in they see massive craters made by a beyblade; the mysterious new member challenges Ryuga to a battle which leades in creating even more massive crators and showing his strenth.



The day of the tournament Gingka and co. are flown to by a plane to the island but are then dropped from a high altitude in the air activating their parachutes before they fell to their deaths. When they arrived they heard the rules and regulations of the tournament stating when you lose your out of the tournament. and they see that the Blader DJ's blimp shows the amount of bladers set at 1000 and decrease as each one is defeated.

The tournament starts off simple for Gingka and co. due to high numbers of in-experienced bladers; but in soon time the competition gets tougher as eventually Kenta, Benkei and Hikaru begin to battle. While Gingka is still looking for good competition the Dark Nebula's new blader Yu Tendo enters Gingka's friends battle.

Not knowing of his strength they accept the blader and begin to battle but not soon after they begin to regret it as they are trapped in sand by Yu's bey libra. then Yu activates libra's special move Inferno Blast which is seen from afar by Gingka and Madoka as they rush over to see what caused that. They are shocked at the sight to see that Benkei, Kenta, and Hikaru were all defeated by 1 Blader.

After Gingka's friends are defeated only 4 bladers remain; Gingka, Madoka, Kyoya and Yu. They all head to one large plateu which contains a beystadium at the top where Yu challenges Kyoya and Gingka to a battle. Kyoya and Gingka accept believeing that they will defeat Yu with ease as a team; but they soon are trapped by Libra's sand trap. Madoka then sees that Kyoya's leone will be destroyed if he keeps using it for so much power. When Kyoya activates his special move and Madoka launches her beyblade in order to stop kyoya from destroying his beyblade. Kyoya then notices that leone is being damaged so Kyoya forfeits the battle in order to save his leone leaving only Gingka and Yu.

Gingka says he will not be defeated and is cheered on by his friends and the other contestants; but Yu states he will not be defeated because he is on a mission to win the tournament. Yu activates Libra's special move Infenro Blast.repelleing Gingka's pegasus into the air. Gingka then commands pegasus to use its special move Starblast Attack. Yu not fazed lets Gingka fall into his trap stating that Libra's special move is like armor that is inpenatrable.

A shocked Gingka is then suprised by a giant explosion showing that Libra has sent pegasus flying out of the arena and into defeat. When Bader DJ announces that Gingka was defeated everyone is suprised at the site and then asks one question; What will Yu's wish be? Yu reveals that his wish is to host one tournament BATTLE BLADERS!

Moments later Doji arrives to pick up Yu showing that he is a member of the Dark Nebula Orginazation. Ryuga arrives in the distance waiting for Doji and Yu; Gingka loads pegasus and challengees Ryuga to a rematch for his first defeat at the hands of L-Drago. Ryuga denies the challenge knowing he will win so he tells Gingka that durinng Battle Bladers they will end their rivalry once and for all. Gingka accepts and vows to defeat Ryuga at Battle Bladers.

Reaching for Battle Bladers?
Gingka and co. try all they can by entering tournaments and battles. They encounter a new foe in the process named Tobio Oike nicknamed Captain Capri with his beyblade Storm Capricorn who appeared as a strong foe with his beyblaed being able to jump around the arena making it tough to attack; but soon Kyoya gets a load of him and finishes him off.

They also encounter Tsubasa Otori a blader who used to be about pride with his eagle who has no flown into the darkness by affiliating the Dark Nebula suprising Gingka and co., They storm the Dark Nebula headquarters and are awaited by Yu and Tsubasa. Tsubasa challenges Kenta to a battle while Yu challenges Hyoma to a battle. Both Kenta and Hyoma are defeated with ease but the rest of their friends have ran elsewhere. Where they encounter Tetsuya Watarigani and his newly evolved Dark Gasher. Benkei challenges him to a battle and is suprisingly defeated; Gingka then challenges him to a battle and gets revenge for his friend Benkei's defeat and does so by defeating Tetsuya and his new beyblade.

Gingka and co soon enough enter a tournament that makes the winner get 10,000 Bey Points. Gingka knows that if he wins he will be able to get a spot in battle bladers. One day the all appear to have battles on that same day suprisingly. They bump into Yu while their there and see Tsubasa with him and they greet him, but are in shock when Yu tells them that Tsubasa has Officially joined the Dark Nebula which puzzles Gingka as to why his new friend would do such a thing. Gingka and co. follow on and start their battles as Kyoya, and Hikaru go to fight their own battles as suprisingly that Kyoya battles Hikaru and Kyoya is victorius. Kenta also goes to his battle and faces the twins Dan and Reiki in a battle with their new bey Evil Gemios DF145FS but against all odds defeated them.

Gingka, Hyoma, Kyoya, Kenta, Yu and Tsubasa are the final six bladers who have survived the tournament. Blader DJ announces that their battle will be a 6 Man Battle Royal, he states that each one of them have an oppurtunity to win. Kenta is worried that all his opponents are strong but is suprised at himself about how far he has made it and has the oppurtunity to battle all these strong opponents.

The battle begins as all six bladers launch fiercly into the arena. quickly the target becomes Gingka being attacked by Tsubasa and his Earth Eagle. Yu then reminds Tsubasa about there plan but he disregards it and keeps focusing on defeating Gingka. Kyoya tries to end it fast as he uses his special move King Lion Tearing Blast.Tsubasa's bey then gets caught by the wind and shows his carelessness; while Kyoya reminds them that Gingka isn't there only opponent.Gingka then uses the help from Kyoya to repell eagle while Hyoma and Kenta make their precense known as they attack Yu's Libra with their combined strength they repell libra but that leads Tsubasa and Yu to devise a plan to take out all beys not pegasus quickly. Yu then starts to attack Kenta and decides to cut their battle short as he activates one of his special moves, but Kyoya's leone repells libra in order to save Kenta while Tsubasa targets Hyoma's Aries. Tsubasa attacks fiercly until Hyoma counters with a special move Wind Storm Assault to cancel out his attack. Tsubasa then figures out that his attack cannot be cancelled out from above so he uses his special move Metal Wing Smash to eleminate Hyoma from the battle.

Kyoya and Kenta work together to try to elimate Yu by using there special moves together,Kenta's special move knocks Libra into the arena but still spinning barely, but is grinding against the arena but they spoke to soon as Libra's Eternal Sharp performance tip to regain balance and speed.Yu tries to go battle pegasus with Tsubasa but Kyoya attempts to stop him but is stopped by libra's special move Sonic Wave trapping Leone and Saggitario in sand.Libra then tries to elimenate everybody by using his special move Inferno Blast, but Tsubasa counters with a special move Counter Stance to stop libra's shockwave production but Kyoya activates his special move Lion Gale Force Wall. Gingka commands pegasus to try to create a vacumn to cancel out all the special moves in the arena and succeeds but collides with eagle and libra causing an explosion that elimates all 3 of them leaving Kyoya and Kenta left. Kyoya works fast and creates a tornado and eliminates Kenta winning him the battle royal and the tournament.

Not Soon after the devious Tetsuya in attempts to steal Gingka's beypoints disguises himself as a world famous top researcher named Nigel Crabcakes, not knowing anything Gingka and Madoka let him see his beypointer and launcher. When they werent looking he swapped his pointer for a new beypointer with a sticker on it to make it look like it was Gingka's pointer. Madoka later noticed when transfering beypoints that he stole his beypointer. They soon track down the mysterious man and find out it was none other than Tetsuya. Gingka tries to get his pointer back but it soon falls out of both their hands and lands into the hands of a myserious man known as Phoenix. Phoenix says that if Gingka beats him in a beybattle he will return his pointer, Gingka accepts the challenge and they battle atop of a construction site.

Galaxy Pegasus
Gingka is the victor of Battle Bladers and is known as Japan's Number One Beyblader but at the cost of losing his Storm Pegasus. Gingka remained in Japan and lived a normal life until Hyoma and Madoka tell him the legend of a new Pegasus, Galaxy Pegasus. They go on a journey with Kenta and Hokuto to find this Legendary Beyblade and find it sealed in a stone temple.

Gingka finds he has a strong connection to this bey and stars a dialog with it, during which Gingka pleads with the Bey to join him and once he is deemed worthy it shines bright spreading the skys itself releasing itself to be Gingka's Beyblade.



On his return to his hometown, Gingka is confronted by a mysterious Young Man who claims that he is the number one blader that missed his chance to battle Gingka. This young man's name is Masamune Kadoya and he challenges Gingka to prove that he is the best. Gingka uses this battle to test Galaxy Pegasus' strength and easily defeats Masamune but suprizingly can't grasp Galaxy Pegasus' great power.

Gingka tries to return home but is challenged by Masamune on several occasions but is always victorious without being able to control Galaxy Pegasus. Once home Masamune challenges Gingka one last time and defeats Gingka after revealing that Galaxy Pegasus only has strength and Gingka has not mastered it at all. Gingka is stunned by his defeat but uses this chance to finaly Master Galaxy Pegasus Power, which he does.

The World Championships!
Even after being defeated by Masamune the two become friendly rivals and hang out alot, this is when they are challenged by a mysterious stranger. They go the designated point from the stranger who reveals themselves to be Chi-yun Li and Mei-Mei of Wang Hu Zhong, oblivious to Gingka who they are. They challenge Gingka and Masamune to a tag battle. They accept but struggle working as a team and working out their difference but when the time comes they work together to eliminate Mei Mei and win the match. Chi-yun awards them for winning by telling them about the World Championships which shocks both Gingka and Masamune.

They head to the WBBA Stadium to find that it is about to begin. Gingka finds out that Japan will have selection matches that will choose the members of the Japanese Representational Team. Gingka was excempt due to his win in battle bladers and has his spot as leader of that Team. Gingka watches as Masamune and Kyoya make the team but also watches as Kyoya walks out on him and the team leaving Tsubasa and Yu to be the remaining members. Gingka, Tsubasa, Masamune, Yu and Madoka then head out to their first round match in Beylin, China.

Against 4,000 Years of Tradition
Gingka and his team decide their name will be Team GanGan Galaxy and they head to China for their assinged first round match up against Team Wang Hu Zhong, who include the familiar faces of Chi-yun and Mei Mei. The team arrives at Beylin Temple and are greeted by Chi-yun who shows them around to where they find Wang Hu Zhong's leader Dashan Wang.

Dashan introduces himself to Gingka and the team and even offers them some of Beylin's training regiments which are accepted by both Gingka and Masamune. During their training Dashan expreses his impressions of Gingka's strength to be admirable. Gingka and Masamune complete the training only to have Dashan ask Gingka for one more test, a beyblade battle!

Gingka accepts and battles Dashan in a friendly beybattle on one of his homeage stadiums. Gingka seems to have the upper hand most of the match not impressed by Dashan until he reveals that Zurafa has sustained no damage from Gingka's Pegasus who is loosing energy. Gingka looses his momentum and is dominated by Dashan but refuses to give up even so Gingka is nearly defeated but unwittingly saved by Masamune's interference.

The day after all of Gingka's training they find out that Wang Hu Zhong possess one more member as Mei Mei is actually the sub. Dashan tells them that this blader is not present and Masamune sets out to find him, Gingka later finds Masamune doing battle with this mysterious beyblader named Chao Xin. Even with Masamune's level of skill he is defeated by Chao Xin showing that beybladers from around the world are as strong as they are.

The very next day the World Championships begin as GanGan Galaxy prepares to face Wang Hu Zhong is a best of three round match. Masamune was designed to go first but isn't present making the team fear forfeit but Gingka doesn't fret as he knows Masamune will arrive which in time he does. Masamune shows newfound powers and defeats Chao Xin showing Gingka that his friends are working just as hard as he is to win the championships.

Tsubasa is next to face Chi-yun as GanGan Galaxy could get the win with two battles in a row. Tsubasa looses the match due to reccuring dark power that infected him due to Ryuga but Gingka seems oblivious to this. This lays GanGan Galaxy fate in Gingka's hands as he faces the opponent that nearly bested him only two days earlier, Dashan Wang.

Gingka faces off with Dashan Wang who he will battle to decide the fate of both their teams. He meets Dashan accompanied by his Beylin Temple followers before entering the stadium. This is where he tells Gingka that their responsibilities are different, and because of that Dashan has a bigger drive to win then Gingka, and this could very well be the deciding factor in their match.

Before the battle Gingka tries to drive himself by saying that he carries all of his teams hopes as well, but that does not seem to reassure Gingka at all.

Their battle begins and Gingka worries as his attack don't work and is afraid that their battle may end up like it did at Beylin Temple, revealing that Gingka has figured out that he would have lost back then. Dashan pushes Gingka into a corner as he stress' the importance of his win and is backed by the crowd which stress' Gingka to the point where he is almost fearful of his Dashan's will. Gingka seems to regain some of his own drive and tries to take back the match until Dashan reveals the 4,000 Year old Technique, The Solid Iron Wall.

With this Gingka is truely up against 4,000 Years of Legacy as the pressure gets to him. Gingka, torn between what to do he tries desperatley to battle through Dashan's defence as the reality sets in that Dashan was right and their responcibilities are different and Gingka simply doesn't have enough power to topple it.

Gingka ponders how he can fight a Legacy as huge as beylins and stumbles apon the power he can gain from having all the spirits of all the bladers he left behind in Japan revealing to Gingka that his responcibility to not only his team but all of his friends back home is just as important as Dashan carries.

"4,000 Year Old Secret"

- Gingka Hagane

Gingka has casted out all of his doubts and realised that his beyspirit combined with the power of his friends can accomplish anything, even defeating 4,000 years of Legacy! Even as Dashan's arrogance and belief in the power of Beylin fuels his beyblades power Gingka is able to overcome even that with his Beyspirit and come at Dashan with full power.

The two battle with all their might to win this battle as even Dashan is pushed to his limit against Gingka's suprizing new strength, at the end of it all the two release the limit of their strength with their special moves and clash shaking the stadium and the crowd.



The dust settles and Gingka is victorious sending he and his team to the next round! His victory is celebrated amongst himself, his teamates and even Dashan and his team who've realised that they don't carry the legacy alone but along with there friends to start their very own legacy all thanks to Gingka.

The teams must now part ways with their new friends from Wang Hu Zhong having set absolutley no hard feeling over the battles. Team GanGan Galaxy heads to the Middle East to view the other first round match ups.

Exploring the World
Gingka, Tsubasa, Madoka, Yu & Masamune head to the middle east to view another A-Block first round match between the European and Arabian Teams. While exploring the desert they stumble apon three strong beybladers who are introduced as Gasur, Karte and Zidane.

They are friendly towards one another as the three even express their great impressions of Team GanGan Galaxy's matches with Team Wang Hu Zhong and eventually display their power for Gingka and his friends. The two seperate as Gasur and his friends reveal that they are infact the Arabian representatives, Team Desert Blaze.

They move along to the stadium for the match of the night where Gingka and the other unwittingly see a rich young man walking into the stadium. During Desert Blaze's match it turns out that this young man is non other then Julian Konzern, the leader of the European team who has actually come alone to face Team Desert Blaze. Julian easily defeats Gasur shocking Gingka and the others and goes on to battle Karte and Zidane in a 2 on 1 to reveal an even bigger suprize.

Julian's beyblade is Gravity Destroyer AD145WD a beyblade that can rotate to the right or the left. This reminds Gingka of his former enemy Ryuga's strength while possessing a bey with reverse rotation, this dampens all the hope Gingka has for Team Desert Blaze as they are defeated by Julian single handedly.

Gingka and the others say goodbye to their newfound friends as they head to Russia for their second round battle. While on their way to where they'd be staying Team GanGan Galaxy is confronted by three scientists of their age that use Beyblade as a form of Space Research.

Gingka and Madoka befriend these strangers who eventually challenge the team to a friendly battle. Gingka is the first to battle against one of them named Nowaguma where Gingka tries to use his special move but cannot due to the roof on the stadium, though Gingka is able to win easily anyway.

The new found friends depart until the next day where the strangers; Aleksei, Lera and Nowaguma reveal themselves to be Team Lovuska, the Russian representational team. Later during that day Masamune mysteriously disappears leaving the team a member short which doesn't worry Gingka as much as Masamune's disappearance itself.



The match up begins as Gingka decides to go first to obtain an early win against Team Lovushka as he is set against Nowaguma in a rematch. Team Lovuska's manager named Anton reveals that each time the stadium will change during the rotation of matches and Gingka's and Nowaguma's will be a cage match. Gingka and Nowaguma are locked inside a steel cage and their match begins.

Gingka tries right of the bat to use Galaxy Pegasus soaring special move but cannot due to the cage roof meaning that Team Lovushka figured out that weakness from their train battle. Gingka doesn't fret until the Cage roof is electrically charged repelling his Pegasus. Gingka is put at a major dissadvantage as Team Lovushka tries to cheat to gain their win without breaking the rules. Gingka musters up enough strength to break through the cage roof allowing Pegasus to soar and crash down on Nowaguma's trap, defeating him and bringing hom the first match win.

Due to Masamune's absence it is decided that Yu will face Aleksei in the next match. Aleksei also uses cheating tactics to avoid the use of Yu's special move but Gingka continuously encourages (sometimes argues) with Yu to get him to realise he's a genius and can find a way out. Yu does and eventually defeats Aleksei giving GanGan Galaxy a decisive Victory against Team Lovushka. After Anton is put out of commission Aleksei regrets his actions and apologises to Gingka and the others leaving the two teams on better terms as Team GanGan Galaxy departs for Greece.

A True Team
Team GanGan Galaxy gains wind of the Festival of Warriors where they plan to meet Julian Konzern of Excalibur. They land in Greece in search of the festival and even run across two friendly bladers who point them in the right direction. GanGan Galaxy finds the Festival but are denied entry due to thier heritage of not being a European native. They try to plead with the entry guard but are confronted by the two bladers from before who reveal themselves to be Sophie and Wales of Excalibur and the hosts of the fesitval who force Gingka and the others to leave.

Gingka refuses to miss out and helps his friends find another way into the festival but are caught. Because of this they are put up against several dozens of Europes best Bladers but are no challenge for the anxious trio of Gingka, Yu and Masamune. After defeating nearly everyone Gingka and Masamune are challenged by Sophie and Wales & because Yu forces his way into the match Julian reveals himself and decides to battle aswell.

They all battle in a three on three tag match as Masamune and Gingka fail to work together and are easily outmatched by Julian's "Twin Jewels". Yu even tries to best the two alone but is knocked out of the match by Sophie's incredible power knocking some sense into Gingka and Masamune. The two finnaly relise how to work as a team and break through the teams defence only to be cut down by Julian's incredible strength. With this loss they are embaressed and expelled from the festival.

"We Meet Again, Wang Hu Zhong"

- Gingka, Masamune, Yu & Tsubasa



The team remains in Greece for the time being and decides to work on their Team work. They struggle with this as they decide to have a 2 on 2 match with Gingka & Yu vs. Masamune and Tsubasa which quickly turns into a four way battle which spirals out of control.

Due to Madoka's frustration she storms off leaving the team to fend for themselves until they are met by familiar faces; Team Wang Hu Zhong! Dashan and his team reveal they witnessed GanGan Galaxy's embaressment at the festival and will agree to help them with their Team building training so that when they battle again they will be a true team.

Gingka and his friends prosper quickly and are ready for the final exercise, another two on two battle. Gingka is paired with Masamune to face Dashan and Chao Xin in a tag match while Tsubasa and Yu face Mei Mei and Chi-yun. At first Dashan and Chao Xin display phenominal teamwork and dominate Gingka and Masamune. Gingka knocks everyone back into shape by reminding them they have to keep trying if they want to win and they will stand at the top of the world! With this they all clash simultaniously leaving the battles as a tie match.

Once again the two teams say goodbye after strengthning their bond between each other as GanGan Galaxy heads back to Japan while Wang Hu Zhong reveal themselves to be fighting for the Wild Card Spot in Big Bang Bladers and that the African Team is led by Gingka's greatest rival; Kyoya Tategami!

Destined Rivals
Gingka and the others arrive back in Japan to view the results of one of the most popular matches in Japan between Kyoya's Team Wild Fang and India's Team Chandora. While awaiting the matches start Gingka and his team talk with Hikaru and Gingka's father Ryo who tells them that if they defeat whichever team comes out the winner of this match that they can move on to the A-Block Finals.

The opponent for that match will either be the infamous Team Excalibur or the winner of the conciliation round that could very well be Team Wang Hu Zhong. Gingka and the others watch as Kyoya's team dominates the Indian representatives with Kyoya's new found powers. After Kyoya is victorious he openly challenges Gingka to an almost immediate acceptance.

Team Wild Fang comes to Japan for their match and the teams meet at the pre battle press conference where Gingka and Kyoya concemate their battle while overshadowing Masamune's challenge to Nile. The third round match begins with Masamune battling Nile to Masamune almost being tottally dominated to where Gingka has to encourage Masamune to go on and fight to no avail as he's defeated by Nile's superior strength. Gingka and Kyoya decide to go next as the two's destined rivarly continues.

Their battle begins as Gingka and Kyoya easily match each others strengths from experience. Kyoya admits to Gingka that Gingka is the first opponent that he's actually enjoyed battling. The two battle ferociously back and forth until Kyoya reveals Leone's new fangs and matches Gingka's every move. Gingka is soon overwelmed by Kyoya's new found powers and even outmatched in the skys as Leone leaps above Pegasus which has never been acomplished before.

Gingka refuses to give up as this could decide the fate of his team and battles on. Kyoya refuses to lose and the two go beyond their limits in battle and end up passing out as their beys follow suit leaving the match as a draw. Gingka is unable to witness most of Tsubasa & Yu's battle with Demure & Benkei but wakes up afterwards to view his dark side thrashing through the opponents and tie up the matches 1 to 1. Gingka and Masamune retake the field as the teams decide to have one final deciding Tag Team Match.

The teams battle as Nile tries to take advantage of Gingka's weakness but is stopped by Kyoya's ferocious pride and battles Gingka instead while Masamune battles Nile. Gingka fights on equal ground with Kyoya until Masamune interviens and reminds Gingka of their team training igniting the two's spark of teamwork. They use their special moves while Gingka and Kyoya are pushed to the limit allowing Masamune to come in and strike Masamune at the just the right time to obtain the win for his team. Team GanGan Galaxy has officially defeat Wild Fang and will move on the the next round but this doesn't mark the end of Gingka and Kyoya's eternal rivalry.

Shadow of The Excalibur
Gingka and Team GanGan Galaxy return to Europe to view Wang Hu Zhong's match with Team Excalibur. They watch in anticipation of who there next opponents will be in the A-Block Finals. It turns out that Team Wang Hu Zhong was indeed defeated by Excalibur without the help of Dashan himself. Now GanGan Galaxy must face Team Excalibur in the A-Block Finals. Gingka and the others worry about Tsubasa's condition as he is almost removed from the team but Gingka decide to move along with Big Bang Bladers with Tsubasa intact.

The A-Block Finals begin and on the teams way to the stadium they run into a face that is all too familiar. Ryuga has returned and challenges Gingka with his new Meteo L-Drago. Gingka battles him former Nemesis only to find out that he has not fully mastered Galaxy Pegasus' potential, Ryuga lets Gingka go to the championships without finishing the battle. Gingka returns just in time for the third match where he will face Julian Konzern.



Gingka arrives as he is noted to be tired out after battling all afternoon with Ryuga though his Blader Spirit remains completley intact. Julian boasts about his abilities to be the absolute best but Gingka is confident enough in his own abilities to stand his ground and get ready to rip. Gingka anticipates that Julian will use his reverse rotation and is correct in believing so, with this Gingka uses his new found experience in battling reverse roatating beyblades like Ryuga's, Gingka confidence whithers when Julian uses Medusa's curse to turn Pegasus to stone but he thinks back to his battle with Ryuga and figures out about Pegasus' "hidden power".

Remembering he hasn't fully mastered Pegasus, Gingka uses it's performance tip to escape and battle on until Julian plays his last hand in unsleathing the black sword; Excalibur. Pegasus is severly beaten and Gingka is pushed into a corner where he figures out to take this new power to the next level and spin, spin, and keep spinning faster and faster so that Pegasus could leap higher then ever before and crash down with Gingka's new special move; Stardust Driver which bested even the Jet Black Sword Excalibur. With this, Team GanGan Galaxy moves onto their Semi-Final match in Brazil.

Brazilian Ambush
Team GanGan Galaxy heads to Brazil where Tsubasa takes them to the stadium leaving Gingka and Co in confusion. Then, Kenta pops in and tells them that he decided to root for them in the finals tournament. The team head to the hotel where Kenta says he brought a tape showing the battle between Team Garcia and Team Starbreaker, however, they learn that the two teams have not used their full power and the fights were just one-hit knockout's that used no power at all. The reason was because even if one of the teams lost, they would still be in the finals tournament.

They then learn that Zeo Abyss, Masamune's best friend from the U.S.A., is a member of Team Starbreaker which causes Masamune to conclude that Team Garcia is weak because they lost to Zeo who was not a very talented blader at all. Little did they know, Yu had left the hotel in order to really learn about Team Garcia but is severely injured from an ambush from the Garcia family so they could get an advantage in the battle the next day.

When they arrive to the stadium, Team Garcia reveals that they have intended to make their battle a four-person knockout battle with no intermission in order to make the finals more exciting for the fans, when in reality they just wanted to get an early lead in the battle.



After seeing Yu and Masamune defeated by Enzo and Selen respectively, Gingka jumps in and launches his Pegasus into the stadium. During the fight, Selen keeps on dodging Pegasus' attacks to drain all of Pegasus' stamina until her bey itself runs out. But, just as Pegasus was about to deal the final blow, Selen calls back her Bey and Ian and his bey, Cyclone Herculeo 105F, take her place.

The battles rages on as Ian uses a hollow in the stadium called a "Cyclone Point" to activate a move called "Cyclone Attack" which causes both Pegasus and suprisingly, Herculeo to lose a whole lot of energy. Gingka tries to use the Cyclone Point to his advantage but is either attacked by an attack from above, or is attacked by Ian's special move; Blazer Slash.

Ian tries desperately to unleash one more Cyclone Attack but is struck by Pegasus Starbooster Attack and Herculeo is knocked out of the stadium resulting in Gingka's victory.

Then, Argo launches Ray Gill right at the exact spot Pegasus was spinning causing Pegasus to fly right out of the stadium and Argo says that Gingka only lost because he let his guard down.

Tsubasa then fights Argo and defeats him but causes his Earth Eagle's fusion wheel to scratch up. The team then congragulates Tsubasa and head of to America in order to watch the match between Team Excalibur and Team Starbreaker and find out who will be Team Gan Gan Galaxy's opponent in the finals.

New York, New Enemy
Team GanGan Galaxy arrives in America excited to see the sites of the United States, but Masamune (who was supposed to show the group around) runs off in order to find his hospitalized friend, Toby. Gingka and Madoka get seperated from Tsubasa, Kenta, an Yu and were found with a lot a boxes of clothes that Madoka insisted they buy. The team meets up with Masamune who, again, rushes off.

In hot pursuit, Gingka and the others find Masamune at his old stomping ground, the Dungeon GYM. The gang then meet the GYM trainees and Coach Steel. Masamune tells the group about Zeo and Toby, the fun times they had, and what had happened to Toby. Zeo then is seen at the door to the Dungeon GYM and challenges Masamune to a Beybattle which ends in a no contest outcome. T

eam GanGan Galaxy arrive at the hospital where Toby is residing in and are introduced to him along with learning about how Masamune came to America and met Zeo and Toby with Gingka wondering about Zeo. The team then head to a sports stadium to test out Tsubasa's Earth Eagle and Yu's Flame Libra's performance after being recently restored however, Masamune sees Zeo and runs off to talk to him with Gingka following close behind. Masamune and Gingka find Zeo with a group of HD Academy bladers surrounding Ryuga.

Masamune assumes that Ryuga is the attacker ant tells him to back off away from his friend but Zeo turns on Masamune in suprising anger and launches his bey at him with Masamune retaliating by launching his Ray Striker. Ryuga then quickly defeats the HD bladers and tells Gingka to watch out for the U.S. team.

Gingka then launches Pegasus in the fight with Zeo explaning how Masamune supposedly abandoned him and activates Flame Byxis' Special Move; Destiny Needle. Zeo almost decides the match when he sees a golden/shadowy explosion knowing full well that Damian has arrived. Zeo retreates and Gingka runs to the stadium to find Yu and Tsubasa unconsious and Eagle and Libra almost completely destroyed.

With Yu and Tsubasa in such a critical condition, Team GanGan Galaxy is reduced to just two competitors, putting the Japanese team at a disadvantage. Gingka and Co. watch the match between the American team and the European Union team and are shocked at what they see. In the match between the Axe of Destruction, Klaus, and the Painter Peacock, Jack, Klaus is defeated ever so easily by Jack and is knocked into a coma from being pushed beyond his body's limitations.

Then, the Emperor of Beyblade (and Italy), Julian Konzern, and the Guide of Hades, Damian Hart, have a best of three match so Damian can test Hades Kerbecs' Boost Mode and obtain data on Gravity Destroyer's left rotation and Damian defeats Konzern quickly in the first match with his special move; Hades Drive and starts to toy with Konzern's emotions in the second.

Damian starts taunting Julian on how Team GanGan Galaxy defeated his own team and says that Julian has no extraordinary powers and he should just concede the match. Wales and Sophie barge in to save their friend Konzern, but a disqualified as a result. Damian uses Hades Gate to defeat the trio of bladers and it causes Julian to have a mental breakdown leaving Team GanGan Galaxy in awe as they see the outcome of the match.

Closing the Gate to Hades
It was now GanGan Galaxy's turn to face Team StarBreakers in the Big Bang Blades Championship finals. With two members down, Gingka and Masamune hold a battle royale with their allies to decide the missing members. This was interrupted by Hikaru and Ryo Hagane who tell them that only a person of age and someone who isn't on a team can be there replacement. With not time left, Masamune faces Zeo Abyss in the first round. With Zeo's "arrangement" he is far too powerful for Masamune and defeats him, dashing GanGan Galaxy's hopes for two consecutive wins. Right when Gingka decides to face Jack, Ryuga appears to settle the score with the artistic blader. Ryuga is able to overcome Jack and win GanGan Galaxy its first victory, leaving the rest up to Gingka.

Gingka would now have to face the mighty Damian Hart who easily defeat Julian, who provided a great challenge to Gingka. Gingka does not back down as the match begins.Damian uses the levels of Hades to overwhelm Gingka, but Gingka remembers his bond with his team and brings out his Storm Bringer special move which he hoped would be enough. But not even close as Damian's Kerbecs is not evene effected by Gingka's beyspirit.



Gingka continues to be dominated by Damian until Kerbecs decides to pull both Gingka and Pegasus into Hades Gate. Now trapped in Hades' Damian has pulled out all the stops and all hope seems lost for Gingka and GanGan Galaxy. But Gingka realizes that Damian is not a true beyblader, he has not experienced the trials of the Beyspirt and thats why Gingka cannot lose, Pegasus breaks free of the gate and brings the fight back to the stadium.

With the world watching, Gingka charges his Beyspirit to its max and unleashes all his power apon Damian. Damian's arrangements are now no match for Gingka's power as the final clash is powered by the time and trials that Gingka has gone through in Big Bang Bladers.

In the final moments of the match, the stadium itself nearly collapses but when the smoke clears, it is Gingka who is victorious. And with this win, GanGan Galaxy is officially the World Champion Team of the World.

Spiral Core Takedown
After winning the World Championships, Team GanGan Galaxy attends a ceremony with their allies in Team Wang Hu Zhong. It is there that Dr.Ziggurat announces the Spiral Force, a weapon of mass destruction powered by his arrangement test Blader, Faust.



Masamune reminds Gingka that the blader is Toby and they must takedown the Spiral Force, this is where the battle for Hades City begins. Dr. Ziggurat retreats to Hades City which is about to launch in order to transfer the massive spiral force. Gingka along with several allies battle all across new york against Hades members including Damian, Jack, Julian Konzern, Team Garcias and many others.

Gingka, Masamune, Tsubasa, Yu, Madoka, Dashan, Wells and Sophie all managed to get aboard the flying city, and face off against opponents, such as Julian Konzern, Jack, Damian, Dr. Ziggurat and the power source behind the entire city; Faust. With his friends holding off the enemies, Gingka and Masamune are able to reach the Spiral core where Toby is being used.



They are met by Faust and Dr. Ziggurat who show the immense abilities of Twisted Tempo, the bey powering the spiral force. Gingka and Masamune battle together and are able to momentarilly stop Tempo after their battle ends in a draw. Gingka moves on to the spiral core while Masamune stays behind to free Toby.

After having Pegasus absorb all the Spiral Force in the Spiral Core to prevent the Earth from being destroyed, with the assistance of Ryuga and Meteo L-Drago LW105LF; Gingka commands Pegasus to fly into outer space and release the energy before it is too late. It does so, and the Earth is saved.

Gathering the Legends
After the defeat of Hades Inc and the destruction of the Spiral Core, a strange event occurred. A new Star Fragment similar to the one that created Pegasus and L-Drago exploded and spread out ten beams of light that fell on Earth, hitting and enchanting ten destined Beyblades. These Beys would prove to help in a time of darkness, as the legend of the star fortells.

Meanwhile, Gingka has returned to his normal life of Beyblading, disbanded from GanGan Galaxy and instead returns to normal life with Kenta and Madoka. However, Gingka recieves a strange message from an anonyomous sender, stating for him to go to a local beach.

As Gingka arrived he was surprised to see it was none other than Kyoya and Benkei who sent the message. Kyoya challenged him to a battle that would ultimately decide who was the strongest Blade r out of the two.

In their battle, Gingka discovers that Kyoya and his Leone have become even stronger than ever before. But Gingka has not fallen behind in skills either, making the two a perfect match once again. Gingka gains the upper hand after a minor slip on Kyoya's part and In an epic clash, two Star Fragement Beams hit both Galaxy Pegasus and Rock Leone causing a huge explosion.

When it seems that disaster has struck, instead a blessing has come apon both beys, causing them to evolve into Cosmic Pegasus and Fang Leone respectively. They are happily to see that their beys have changed, but the battle rages on as neither blader is really able to control their beys. Pegasus' new abilities come as a shock to Gingka as he can barley comprehend Leone's abilities either. They both pull out what they know and have left in one final clash that ends the battle in a draw.

Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G
Gingka makes an appearance in the Zero-G anime, during Zero's flashback, where he is seen handing Zero, his Samurai Ifraid.

Kenta Yumiya
He is like Gingka's younger brother. Gingka saved Kenta from the Face Hunters and have shared a close relationship since then. Gingka also help train Kenta into a very strong blader and Gingka always gives great advice to him.

Madoka Amano
Gingka's relationship with Madoka is very close as she was one of the first female friends,and the only one except Hikaru, he made in the series. He has been shown to care for her well being and protects her when there is danger as he did during the survival challenge when she was stuck on the wrong plane making her part of it, so to calm her down on her worries he said that he would protect her. Gingka also loves Madoka's cooking and says that her hamburgers give him 100% more energy then he had and actually embarrassed her when he asked her over TV to make him some when he comes back.While Gingka was sick Madoka made a cake for him. In the episode We Meet Again! Wang Hu Zhong when Chao Xin enters Madoka's room Gingka felt very jealous. Madoka is one of Gingka's best friends and is always there for him whenever he needs emotional or physical support.Gingka might have a crush on Madoka.

Masamune Kadoya
Gingka's relationship with Masamune mirrors that of Tyson's's relationship with Daichi from the original series. Although Gingka and Masamune are good friends and get along quite nicely, they do tend to argue a lot to point where they get mad at one another. Nevertheless, Gingka and Masamune maintain a great relationship, albeit some differences.

Ryuga
Gingka's relationship with Ryuga was at first really bad as they both showed no less than hatred for each other. However after defeating Lightining L-Drago, and knowing that Ryo Hagane was still alive, the two get better with each other and their relationship grows. Ryuga is seen as giving Gingka advices in Metal Masters and Metal Fury. After defeating Gingka in Metal masters, Ryuga told Gingka to find his Blader's spirit, later he helped Gingka destroy the Spiral Core. In Metal Fury, after defeating Gingka again, Ryuga told Gingka to get stronger. Gingka knew that Ryuga never viewed them as companions, but he acknowledged the fact that Ryuga had given more than anyone to become the strongest blader in world, and that he is stronger than any of them.

Kyoya Tategami
Gingka's relationship with Kyoya has been bad from the very first episode. Kyoya, got defeated by Gingka several times, and is determined to defeat Gingka but has never succeeded. He even created one of his special moves in order to defeat Gingka, but failed yet again. In Metal Masters, however, he was able to draw with Gingka in the Beyblade World Championships. Before this battle he had told Gingka that he had trained very hard in order to find a way to stop Pegasus spinning and that he had found out the way. Gingka also seems to think that Kyoya is a great rival. In Metal Fury, he is again shown, determined to defeat Gingka, but again there is a draw. This shows what great rivalry there is between these two strong bladers. After Ryuga, Gingka's second greatest rival is Kyoya Tategami.
