Sora Akatsuki



is a character in the anime and manga series, Beyblade: Metal Fusion. His partner and Beyblade is Cyber Pegasus 100HF.

Appearance
Sora has eyes the shade of amber and gold/black hair. He wears a white sleeveless jacket and red/blue pants.He also sports brown gloves. He has a golden belt in his pants which holds Cyber Pegasus, his Beylauncher, Grip, and Beypointer. His Beylauncher and Grip are the same shade of red as on Cyber Pegasus's Metal Wheel. Sora is always interested in meeting Gingka Hagane and battling with him, even if it means he loses.

Personality
Sora is much like Gingka. They sleep during the day, they eat large quantities of food, and are determined to train with their Bey. However, Sora can be much less focused at times. This is probably because of the fact that he admires Gingka. He is pretty strong because he finished 7th in the Japan Team Qualifying for the Beyblade World Championship.

History
Sora is one of Gingka Hagane's many adoring fans. Back in the day Gingka entered a Battle Bladers tournament and Sora was instantly impressed by Gingka's skills. Shortly after Gingka's victory, Sora stood up and stared into the ring in utter disbelief. Gingka caught Sora's gaze and looked on at him. Sora had believed he had read Gingka's mind through eye contact. He claimed that Gingka had been thinking that it is Sora's destiny to become his apprentice and learn his every move even though they have never truly spoken to each other.

Beyblade: Metal Fusion
In the anime, Sora is a very big fan of Gingka: one day, he saw one of his battles in the Battle Bladers tournament, and he was totally amazed by his performance. When Gingka won, he therefore got up to cheer for him and somehow he sensed that there was something they had in common at that moment, what with them being the only two people standing up and Gingka more or less looking in his direction. From that day on, Sora worked hard to become just like his idol, mostly when it comes to Beyblading.

One huge problem always comes into Sora's way: he is what we could call a "natural loser". As hard as he tries to be good and to make powerful attacks, his beyblade always ends up dropping to the ground weakly. Everytime he tried to imitate Gingka's Shooting Star Attack, everybody would be shocked at first, yet his "Cyber" just came falling to the ground naturally, due to gravity. Of course, Sora is annoyed by the fact everyone laughs at him during those times, but he usually gets back up soon after those incidents and he just keeps trying harder.

In general, Sora is a very cool, laid-back kid who, like Gingka, would often sleep in a day. He does get ticked off over a few normal things though, and he can be quite insulting to people who are in his way, going on and telling Kenta's opponent in the Battle Bladers tournament to leave immediately, even pushing him. One of the only aspect of Beyblading that Sora could not understand from Gingka at first was the Blader's Spirit that is needed to Beyblade well. Fortunately, Kenta helped him get on the right way by telling him to get his inspiration from the stars, even though Sora always keeps coming back to his imagined "spirit" of Gingka to lead him correctly. Later in the episode, he finally creates his own special moves(it fails, though).

Kenta was really touched by his meeting with Sora, because the latter's determination is quite inspiring.

He later appears again, fighting against a guy called Busijima. It is then that he finally meets his idol personally and makes his second and first successful special move.

When launching, Sora soars into the sky and shoots his Cyber from up there, aiding his launch with the force of gravity.

Sora appeareces for only 2-5 seconds, being shown on a TV along with Benkei and Busijma.

Trivia

 * Some people thought Sora was a poser and a copycat because of his Cyber Pegasis.


 * Sora's Bey, Cyber Pegasus, is essentially Storm Pegasus but with a different Fusion Wheel, Spin Track and Performance Tip (The Spin Track and Performance Tip are the same as Lighting-L-Drago, so it is a mix of L-Drago and Pegasus.) Also it has a different design on the Face Bolt but Cyber's Energy Ring is the same.
 * Although it is possible to put together L-Drago's pieces with Pegasus' pieces, it will not launch and fall off the launcher without an internal aid.
 * Sora calls Cyber Pegasus Cyber instead of Pegasus.
 * In the Naruto series, there's a group called Akatsuki and apparently his last name is Akatsuki. Their is also a character named Sora.
 * Sora is the only person in the anime that has a Pegasis equivalent Beyblade.
