Kurt Baratier

Kurt Baratier, known as Kurtz Baratier (クルツ・バラティエ, Kurutsu Baratie) in Japan, is a character featured in the series Beyblade Burst Evolution, and is a part of the Snake Pit Organization, also known as the Black BREO. His bey is Khalzar K3 7Under Hunter. As stated in episode 4 of Beyblade Burst Super Z, he is ranked sixth in the world.

Appearance
Kurt is a tall man with an angular face, spiked green hair with a yellow streak of hair in the center, red eyes, purple earrings, and red eye-shadow. He wears a black bodysuit with a green and purple striped spaulder on his shoulder, and green and purple gauntlets. He also wears a light red-orange piece of cloth with a white frilled cuff tied around his waist with purple straps, green metallic material beneath his knees, and green and purple shoes.

Personality
Kurt has a mean and uncaring personality, much like Shu Kurenai as his alter-ego Red Eye. He was out to join the Snake Pit Organization to become more ruthless in battling and beat other bladers. When Kurt battled Rantaro Kiyama, he unleashed his full power and defeated Berserk Roktavor, leaving scratches on it. He also has a habit of destroying things, such as when he almost crushed Genesis Valtryek V3's layer under his foot.

However, Kurt later changes from a ruthless blader to a humble person, like when he kindly passes Valt's Ultimate Reboot Driver to him.

Special Moves

 * Skyscraper Boost: Kurt jumps twice before launching and on his second jump launches his Bey from a height. Kurt has used this launch style in every battle he's been in.
 * Thunder Attack: Khalzar K3 attacks the opposing Bey head on with one or a series powerful attacks that can usually overwhelm a Bey rather quickly.
 * Bolt Attack: Khalzar K3's Forge Disc shifts twice and aligns perfectly with the layer and causes the claws to come out of the layer and adds more power to Khalzar's attack. Then, Khalzar gains a boost of speed and goes in a perfectly straight line to attack the opponent head-on. This attack can be used in midair as a way to counterattack an opponent's blow. The move usually KOs or Bursts an opponent's Bey.

Trivia

 * He and Ghasem Madal have very similar facial features.
 * “Kurtz” means “Short” in German, which is ironic given his tall stature.
 * Additionally, his first name is German in origin; and his last name is French in origin.
