Reiji Mizuchi

is a character in the Beyblade: Metal Fusion anime and manga. He is the second most powerful Blader in Dark Nebula, Ryuga being the first. He fights by attacking opponents weakly to make his enemy lower his or her guard and then attacks with his real power. His Beyblade is Poison Serpent SW145SD it is snake-like and fits his personality.

Appearance
He has red hair with a blonde streak running through the front of his fringe. He has eyes which are bright yellow just like the eyes of a serpent that hide underneath his hair. He wears a long blue shirt with a snake-scale pattern across the bottom of his shirt along with a scale pattern on the cuffs on the arms. He also wears a pair of black jeans and has within his hair a pair snake's eyes. He often walks as though he's drunk, wavering and never actually walking straight and tends to point a lot as well.

Personality
Reiji has a dark and sadistic personality. He usually keeps silent during his Bey battles except for when he will speak to strike fear in his opponent's heart. He hates having the tables turned, such as in the battle with Kenta. However during his fight with Gingka he did seem to talk alot because he wanted to defeat him badly during their battle. Reiji has a rather sadistic side to him such as when he was battling against Hyoma. When Reiji started to unleash several serpents from his beyblade and started to attack Hyoma's Aries, Hyoma started to beg Reiji to stop. This resulted in no effect due to Reiji then laughing sadistically and then unleashing his Dark Move technique: Venom Genocide/Strike. After Aries was severely damaged and Hyoma was screaming, Poison Serpent returned to Reiji's hand and he walked with a smirk on his face. It is also clear that when Reiji was facing Kenta that he did not understand that Beyblade was fought using the blader's feelings and heart. This caused him to go insane and then unleashed his dark spin technique again which destroyed Flame Sagittario.While facing Gingka, he used his true strength and lost although he seemed to drive Gingka crazy due to his babbling.

Overall, Reiji is a character with a cold, evil, super insane, sadistic and snakelike personality who enjoys to destroy his opponents Beyblade.

When Poison Serpent almost bounced out of the stadium, Reiji got a sort of insane and attacked Cyber Pegasus, but he got stopped by Ryuga who felt unimportant in the battle.

Trivia

 * 'Reiji' is a common name given to people in Japan and 'Mizuchi' was a Dragon that looked like a snake
 * Sometimes the beast in his Bey is Medusa, which explains why Kenta looked like he was turning into stone in episode 41.The reason may be that in Defense Mode it is Serpent, and when it is in Attack Mode it is a Medusa.
 * He is the only character other than Ryuga that uses a "Dark Move"
 * But it doesn't explain how the beast changed in the middle of his battles with Gingka. However, this is the show, and has had other instances of 'mode changes' only possible between battles, such as height changes or tip changes on Dark Gasher and Storm Aquario, respectively.
 * He is the only character from Battle Bladers who didn't appear earlier in the series.
 * He is the only character from Metal Fusion who did not make an appearance in Metal Masters.
 * His Beyblade, Poison Serpent SW145SD, is the first to have a beast change.
 * Reiji has a slight resemblance to Nagato from Naruto: Shippuden.
 * As shown in Jp0t's video, on the dogtag it says "Mizuchi" instead of Reiji, showing Hasbro rushed this product.
 * He was one of the few people that didn't show up in the first episode of Beyblade: Metal Fury.
 * When he went insane in his battle with Kenta, Reiji's "eyes on his head" looked different.
