Beyblade: Metal Fury
Johannes past is unknown but he decided to become on of the seekers of Nemesis in order to bring on a dawn of new Beyblade. Looking to revive nemesis he tracked Yuki Mizusawa as he gathered Legendary bladers such as Gingka Hagane. After finnaly confronting them Johannes reveals that he is looking to take Pegasus and use its Star Fragment in order to Revive Nemesis. Gingka refuses to go with Johannes and decides to battle instead, Johannes looking to take it one way or another.

Clearly Gingka has the base advantage in the upcoming battle but Johannes uses a combination of tricks in order to gain the upperhand. First he leads Gingka into a narrow space where his Pegasus cannot build up speed and overwhelms him with Lynx's higher track at its base height. Gingka escapes this but cannot gain the upperhand because of Lynx's amazing balance when falling, always landing on its feet.

This is when Johannes reveals Lynx's track height change and gets the upperhand on Gingka, but before he can finish it Kyoya Tategami interviens. Johannes is shocked to learn that Kyoya has also become a Legendary Blader and retreats, knowing that he cannot win a two on one battle.
