Gingka Hagane

Gingka Hagane (Japanese: 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.

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, where as 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's 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!"

The "Forbidden Bey"
During the start of the anime, Gingka Hagane is seen with his father looking at the Dark Nebula helicopter when his father tells him that the helicopter is heading towards a mountain where a bey is sealed with a dark power enough to rule the world. After Ryuga battles Gingka's father with the Forbidden Bey, Gingka's father gets trap and gives Gingka, Storm Pegasus 105RF, Gingka begins a quest to defeat the forbidden bey. Then Gingka is seen walking around the city, and is seen sleeping in unusual places like atop of a water tank. A little after that, he ran into a group of beyblade thugs called the Face Hunters who were bullying a young boy named Kenta. The five Face Hunters that were there had then challenged Gingka to a 5 vs. 1 handicap match, in which Gingka easily beat them without even trying. 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. He also explained to him that a blader's strength comes from the 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. After they were launched, Gingka remained calm and unfazed by this. Soon afterwards, Kenta appeared, and he showed worry for Gingka, saying to him that this wasn't a bey battle and suggesting for him to run. Still, Gingka wasn't fazed, and he reassured Kenta that everything would be fine. Gingka then decided to get serious and launched his Storm Pegasus. Gingka unleashed some of his power from his Storm Pegasus and knocked away the one hundred beyblades with ease. Soon after Gingka beat the one hundred Face Hunters who challenged him, their leader Kyoya challenged him to a battle!

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 Hunters took off with Kenta's Beyblade, and told Gingka if he didn't come to the Metal Tower then they would destroy Kenta's bey.With this big of a threat to his friend, Gingka didn't care about the fact that Pegasus' repairs weren't completed and if he would battle there might be a chance that Pegasus could be injured badly.Even so he went to the metal tower and fought hard with the face hunter's leader Kyoya. During the match things seemed tough for Gingka but in the end he created his special move Starblast attack and defeated Leone.Thus winning back Kenta's Bey, Sagittario. Soon after, Kenta is worried that a strong blader like Gingka did not find worthy opponents here and he might go somewhere else.So he challenged Gingka to a beyblade match.

Gingka accepted Kenta's challenge, and decided to battle him. Kenta proved to be a worthy opponent, but Gingka won the battle using his first finishing move, Pegasus Starblast attack. Gingka explained to Kenta that he was going to stay in the city, and that he wasn't going to leave.

Doji then sent Kyoya back to the city to battle against Gingka for the second time. Both Benkei and Kenta had fought Kyoya that day. After their loss against Kyoya, they both returned to the B-Pit, but Benkei was more injured then Kenta. That night, a furious Gingka found Kyoya, battled it out with him. Later in the battle, many kids showed up to watch Gingka's battle against Kyoya, cheered him on. After Gingka won, a helicopter from above appeared. The person that came out of the helicopter gave Gingka a startling surprise.

Gingka was shocked to see that it was Doji, one of the people from the Dark Nebula Organization that was responsible for the supposed death of Gingka's father.

Gingka fought against Doji, but not too long after, the fight came to a halt and Doji left. 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 Dark Nebula Organization. After they found Kyoya, they all decided to go to the Dark Nebula Castle to help Gingka to defeat them. Once Gingka reaches Doji's castle peak Doji asks Gingka to join him, but he refuses and they start to battle. Gingka wins, but their battle awakens Ryuga and L-Drago. Gingka and Ryuga start beyblading and Ryuga wins easily and effortlessly, leaving Gingka shocked. Gingka is determined to beat Ryuga, so Gingka then leaves for Koma Village in search for the Secret Scroll, however Kenta, Madoka, Kyoya and Benkei try to follow him, only to be split up. Gingka finds the Secret Scroll and finds it to have a message which is quite what he didn't expect. Gingka returns with confidence and meets up with Kyoya, Benkei, Kenta and Madoka along with Hyoma and Hokuto, his childhood friends.

He then enters a Beyblade tournament in which the winner will get one wish. Gingka gets into the final battle with the mysterious Blader, Yu Tendo but loses. Regardless, Gingka congratulates Yu for winning but finds out Yu is a member of Dark Nebula. Yu's wish is to have a tournament called "Battle Bladers" in which Bladers from all across the country will compete in order to become number one. Gingka decides to enter this as a chance to defeat Ryuga.

Battle Bladers
Responding to Ryuga's challenge, Gingka enters the Battle Bladers tournament, with an astonishing 94,000 Beypoints--44,000 more than required. During the tourney, Gingka encounters the mysterious Phoenix who eventually reveals himself as his long-lost father, Ryo Hagane in disguise. From then on, Ryo encourages Gingka along his quest to defeat Ryuga and prevent the Dark Nebula from ruling the world.



The tournament's finale pits Gingka in a decisive showdown with Ryuga. It is a hard-fought battle, one that pushes Gingka beyond his limits into new level of strength. But, with the help of his friends, Gingka envokes his Blader Spirit and battles back to overcome the odds and defeat Ryuga, but sacrifices his Beyblade in the process.

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 this is where he tells Gingka that their responsibilities are different and because of that Dashan has a bigger drive to win then Gingka would 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 team 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.

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.

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. Gingka defeats Julain with this and moves his team on to the semi finals in Brazil.

Brazilian Ambush
Team Gan Gan Gallaxy head to Brazil where Tsubasa takes them to the stadium leaving Gingka and Co. in awe. 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 fight rages 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
Gingka and Co. arrive 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 meet 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. Team 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.

Hades City
After winning the World Championships, Hades City takes flight, commanded by Dr. Ziggurat and Team Star Breaker, who plan to utilise Spiral Force to threaten and take over the entire world.

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.

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.

However, little did Gingka know that releasing the Spiral Force would bring upon a greater evil...

Beyblade: Metal Fury
After the defeat of Faust and the Spiral Core, a strange event occurred. A new Star Fragment similar to the one that created Pegasus and L-Drago exploded. Ten beams of light fell on Earth hitting ten different Beyblades. These Beys would prove to help in a time of darkness. Gingka has returned to his normal life in Beyblading with Kenta and Madoka. However, Gingka recieved a message from an anonyomous stating for him to go to this destination and battle the sender. As Gingka arrived he was surprised to see it was none other than Kyoya and Benkei. Kyoya challenged him to a battle that would ultimately decide

who was the strongest Blade r. In their battle, Gingka discovered Kyoya and his Leone were even stronger than before. In an epic clash, two Star Fragement Beams hit both Galaxy Pegasus and Rock Leone. It caused them to evolve into Cosmic Pegasus and Fang Leone respectively. In one final explosion, Gingka and Kyoya fell to the ground.After the battle with Kyoya, Gingka tried out some practice battles to understand how Pegasus evolved. The new Pegasus is more powerful than Galaxy Pegasus and can change modes via changing how the Fusion Wheel is placed. Kyoya left after getting annoyed while Gingka and Co. went after him. However upon finding Kyoya, Gingka witnesses a boy getting assaulted by a mysterious youth known as Johannes. Gingka gets rid of Johannes with the new Pegasus and saves the boy. The boy is known as Yuki Mizusawa and notices Gingka using a Bey with part of the Star Fragment and calls him a Legendary Blader before he faints.

After waking up he explains to Gingka the story of the Star Fragment. A new Star Fragment has exploded and sent eleven beams of light at eleven different Beys. Beys with that power can be used to stop the ultimate evil, Nemesis from ruling the world. The Bladers who own such Beys are known as the Legend Bladers. Gingka and Kyoya are two of the ten Legend Bladers. They need to find the rest of the Legend Bladers or Nemesis will conquer the world. Gingka is amazed at his story and agrees to go on this quest. He then decides to name the new Pegasus, Cosmic Pegasus. Gingka has made a new friend.Gingka then asks old friends, Masamune and Team Wang Hu Zhong if they have any information on the Legendary Bladers.



They do not know what he is talking about and are confused. Gingka explains to them the Star Fragment and the Legendary Bladers. Masamune, after hearing this, gets excited and dreams of becoming a Legendary Blader just like Gingka. Gingka turns disappointed when they do not know information on the Legend Bladers but decides to prep for the the quest. After prepping, Gingka, Yuki, Kenta, and Madoka begin but are stopped by a group of cats. The youth from before, Johannes challenges Gingka for his Legend Power. He accepts and they battle. Pegasus gets the upper hand but then gets overshadowed by Johannes', Beat Lynx. Gingka seems doomed but Kyoya launches Fang Leone at Beat Lynx. Kyoya beats Johannes and flees. Kyoya decides to join Gingka and Co's quest. They are thrilled at this as Gingka, Yuki, Kenta, Benkei, Madoka, and Kyoya begin their quest to find the Legend Bladers.

In their first destination, Zarkan Island, an island and village in Indonesia, they discover a volcano is likely to erupt due to volcanic activity. They are shunned by the villagers due to owning Beys but make friends with a girl named Sarah and her father. The team trains as they overhear a commotion. In recent volcanic activity, a Blader using a dragon-like Bey has infilirated the island. Gingka and the gang look into this as they find Ryuga who has a new Bey, L-Drago Destructor F:S.

Gingka has a battle with Ryuga in order to have him help in the search for the Legend Bladers but is defeated after Ryuga defeated Kyoya. After defeating Yuki in a battle, Ryuga leaves them to search in other parts of the world for the Legend Bladers. After leaving Zarkan Island, Kenta revealed to Gingka that he wants to go on his own in order to become a Legend Blader. Gingka accepts this as Kenta leaves the gang.

Gingka later goes to China to meet once again, Team Wang Hu Zhong who tells them of an anonymous Blader, that will be entering a tournament titled, the "Gateway to Success". The gang think this may be a Legend Blader. When they arrive, they reunite with their old competitors and have some training. Later the gang, hear an explosion caused by Johannes. Da Xiang and Johannes battle with no outcome as Johannes end the aburbt battle. As Johannes flees, they are met by Zhou Xing, who tells them of an anonymous Blader with a Bey that has a crimson-red hue that has incredible power; having knocked out two Bladers.

Then Gingka and Yuki team up to battle in the "Gateway to Success" tournament where they defeat the teams of Choa Xin and Mei Mei, along with Da Xian and Chi-Yun and make it to the finals of the tournament. In the final match, Ginga and Yuki battle Aguma and Bao but lose when Hades Crown 130FB stopped Pegasus from finishing off Scythe Kronos T125EDS resulting in their total and utter defeat.

in the new unicorno they meet king who is a legendary blader

In Whereabouts of Orion, Gingka battled Chris in the finals of the Beyster Island Tournament.

In Nemesis' Beat Gingka is informed that the ninth Legendary Blader is Titi.

Eventually, Gingka an Co. make it to the Mayan Ruins where he is seperated from Toby, Benkei, and Zeo and meets none other than Chris and Cycnus where they and Yuki do battle. In a dramatic conclusion, Gingka and Yuki make it out the victors.

Shortly after, Gingka and the other Legendary Bladers find the chamber of Nemesis where they meet Doji, Pluto, and Rago starting the Zues' Barrier but fail when Ryuga leaves from being agrovated by Doji result Proto Nemesis to evolve into Diablo Nemesis where Rago unleashes his special move, Armageddon, causing the ancient ruins to collapse where they stand.

Then, the gang arrive at the top of the WBBA building where they battle Johannas, Keyser, Herschel, and Cycnus and win handily.

Soon after, the Gingka and his friends make to the Lost Kingdom seeing Ryuga defeated by Rago and begin another battle against him. During the fight, Ryuga regains conciousness and passes on the Star Fragment to Kenta where he becomes the Legendary Blader of Summer and with that, has his Flame Sagittario C145S evolve into Flash Sagittario 230WD. However, Ryuga dies and L-Drago disintegrates from giving so much of their strength to Kenta. Then Kenta, Kyoya, Gingka, and Chris begin the Zues' Barrier once more to finish the fight and succeeds, but before it had activated, Pluto's Fusion Hades AD145SWD had dropped a shard of it's Fusion Wheel, causing Nemesis to merge with Rago and Pluto and unleash it's true power.

In a final showdown, Gingka's teammates are defeated by Nemesis leaving Gingka the only Blader left battling when, all the Beyblades of the world give Gingka their Star Fragments giving Cosmic Pegasus a new power allowing it to finally defeat Nemesis and seal it away forever.

In the climax, Gingka and Kyoya begin a final battle similar to the one Kai and Tyson had in G Revolution and when they launch, the series concludes.

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.

Manga
Gingka began his adventures with Pegasis 105F, the Bey his father had given to him before dying. After Ryuga defeated him again, his Beyblade was shattered. Gingka got the Face of Pegasus and transported it onto the old training Pegasis that they used in his village when he was younger: it consists of the first design of the Pegasis Wheel, which was not released officially. Once he met God of Bey, which he completely respects and even bows to, he went through the bitter cold of the mountain and a volcano, and eventually launched his training Pegasis into the magma to have it transform into Storm Pegasis 105RF.

Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G (Manga):
Gingka is training somewhere abroad, as revealed by Kenta.

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 give 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 move 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.
