Changes: Aiger Akabane

Revision as of 20:38, 31 October 2018

Aiger Akabane, known as Aiga Akaba (赤刃アイガ, Akaba Aiga) in Japan, is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series, Beyblade Burst Turbo. After witnessing the strength of Valt Aoi's new Bey, Aiger decided to create his own Bey, Z Achilles A4 11 Xtend and become a Blader. Afterwards, he moves to the big city, where he sets out on a journey to become strong enough in order to defeat Valt someday, which he achieved while under possession of his Turbo Beyblade. Over the course of his journey, Aiger upgraded his Beyblade into Z Achilles A4 11 Xtend+

Appearance

Aiger looks similar to Valt, except he has lighter skin, turquoise eyes, wears red clothing and his hair and eyebrows are maroon. He has a red letter "A" tattooed on his left cheek, and several bandage strips on his face: a horizontal one on his right cheek, two horizontal ones placed vertically on the right temple, and a horizontal one over an "X" shaped bandage underneath it on the left temple.

Aiger’s attire consists of a white shirt, jet black shorts with blue-buckled suspenders, a short-sleeved burgundy letterman's jacket with a black-striped white collar, tomato sleeves, border and pocket lining, and burgundy sneakers with a tomato border, white laces, white toe caps and a white circle with an upside-down dark-blue "A" on each inner heel. His jacket has a light-cyan circle with an upside-down dark-blue "A" on the back and three yellow buttons on the front: one on the right side with a dark-blue Beyblade symbol, and two on the left, the upper one an upside-down dark-blue "A", and the bottom a dark-blue star. After his first battle with Valt, Aiger began wearing a dark-blue hand brace on his left hand and wrist.

When he's about perform his bey's signature move, his hair turns crimson and breaks free from the blue rubber band holding it upright

.when it is possessed, it is surrounded by a black aura and its eyes become totally violet and its look becomes more wild and malevolent

Personality

Aiger is very hot headed and cannot stand losing as he was infuriated after his defeat at the hands of Valt Aoi. However, similar to Valt, he has been thoughtful of his strategies and wins battles because of them. He also acts like a big-shot at times, such as when he brags about his victories and so-called "invincibility".

Having lived on a farm for most of his life, Aiger loves animals. He also elects to sleep in a tent in Beigoma Academy's petting zoo instead of the school's dormitories so he can be closer to the animals.

Aiger acts like Valt in many ways. They are both passionate about blading, and can easily make friends. (Valt made friends with Rantaro Kiyama; Aiger made friends with Rantaro's brother, Ranjiro)

Aiger loves milk and drinks it straight from the pack without pouring it into a cup.

However in episode 25 in his battle against Free he emitted some kind of dark aura similar to Phi, so his personality is expected to take a big turn later in the anime. This is supported by episode 28 when Aiger got possessed by Z Achilles and would do everything it takes to win.

Relationships

Naru Akabane

Naru is Aiger’s little sister. She is very supportive of Aiger. She also helped him make Z Achilles A4 11 Xtend.

Ranjiro Kiyama

Aiger and Ranjiro seem to get well along with each other. At first, Ranjiro decided to teach Aiger a lesson after the latter had defeated all the members of the Rebel Bey Club; but after the two had a beybattle where they tied 149 times, the two came to respect one another. Since then, Ranjiro has begun supporting Aiger in his matches, and at one point he even returned his Bey to him after the Rebel Bladers had stolen it.

Valt Aoi

Aiger strives to become a Blader strong enough to one day defeat Valt after witnessing the immense power and strength of his new Wonder Valtryek V4 12 Volcanic. Valt is very supportive towards Aiger, and always encourages him to keep getting stronger whenever the two meet. The two are also very similar in terms of personality. When Aiger gets possessed by Z Achilles, Valt takes notice of this and vows to save him just like he did for his friend Shu Kurenai.

Fubuki Sumie

Aiger and Fubuki are friendly to each other while seeing the other as their biggest rival. Their interaction is similar to that of Valt and Shu.

Lui Shirosagi

Lui at first didn't care for Aiger and said that he didn't deserve to wield a Turbo Bey, but eventually grew on him because of how motivated he is to battle Valt.

Toko Aoi and Nika Aoi
