Arthur Peregrine, known as Arthur Percival (アーサー・パーシヴァル, Āsā Pāshivuaru) in Japan, is an antagonist in the anime/manga series, Beyblade Burst Rise. He fights with his Beyblade, Prime Apocalypse 0Dagger Ultimate Reboot'. He refers himself as the King of Hell (ヘルの王, Heru No Ō) and the King of Beyblade (ベイブレードの王, Beiburēdo No Ō).

Appearance

Arthur is a tall, built man with tan skin, medium-length prussian-blue hair that cover his green hair on the other side with green highlights at the end, turquoise eyes, and red and yellow paint marks on his face. His attire consists of a full black-olive bodysuit with blue and yellow wavy markings, white wraps around his wrists and neck, reddish feathers on the right collar of his bodysuit, a cerulean kilt with dark-red borders connected to cyan dots and held by a white belt, and dark-indigo boots with lavender cuffs and dark-green lines. His color scheme is similar to that of a blue-and-yellow macaw parrot.

Personality

Arthur is a very rebellious blader; trying to end the WBBA by destroying it's ideals, desiring to take over the Beyblade world by inviting bladers to Inferno, and even has on two occasions shown no respect for rules or etiquette as he barged into the stadium and interrupted the Bladers’ battles in order to showcase his power to everyone.

His arrogance makes him unafraid to express his thoughts, claiming to be the Beyblade King. He is also unwilling to accept his losses, as he ordered a tag battle with the Victories purely out of spite after losing to Dante Koryu and Delta Zakuro, even blaming Gwyn that his Apocalypse even though he often relied on him in battle.

Arthur is very authoritative, stating that the weak have no right to Beyblade and decreeing that all Bladers must follow his rule and did. He does not tolerate failure on his team, as he scolded Gwyn for losing against Dante.

After his final defeat, he fell to his knees, disappointed that his goal of taking over the WBBA failed.

Biography

Background

Beyblade Burst Rise

Burst Rise E14 - Arthur Peregrine

Arthur made his debut to the series as Aiger Akabane and Delta Zakuro fought in the Battle Island Tournament title matches as an intruder, alongside his Gamma Bey, Prime Apocalypse, which had its unique Burst Prevention System. Interrupting their battle, Arthur soon proclaimed himself as the "King of Beyblade" and challenged the World Champion to a battle to prove that darkness reigns supreme and would overtake the current Blading world, in which he won.

Burst Rise E15 - Arthur Leaving

After Aiger's defeat to Arthur, Dante Koryu and Delta Zakuro soon challenge the so-called king, resulting in them both losing, and Ace Dragon being destroyed, giving rookie Blader, Gwyn Reynolds, inspiration into creating his own Burst Prevention System Bey, Royal Genesis.

Burst Rise E16 - Arthur on Screen

After leaving Battle Island, Arthur created his own team, Inferno, stealing all of the members from Fumiya Kindo's team, the Spark Wings. Angered by what Arthur had done so far, Dante, alongside his new Command Dragon, the Victories, and Gwyn, set off to Arthur's base, the Infernal Tower, where it's soon revealed that Joe Lazure and Blindt DeVoy had joined Arthur in his attempt to conquer the Blading world.

Burst Rise E18 - Arthur and Prime Apocalypse

After being challenged to a rematch, Arthur put Dante, and soon enough Gwyn, to the test to see if his Command Dragon was worth battling Apocalypse, in which they both win their battles. Before Dante got his opportunity to get back at Arthur, Delta appeared to have his own revenge, but failed, resulting in Erase Devolos also being destroyed, along with Delta's confidence. The next day, an angered Dante finally had his rematch with Arthur, in which he was finally defeated. As a result of his defeat, the members of Inferno returned back to the Spark Wings, leaving Arthur on his own. Delta soon regained his confidence from his loss to Arthur and created Master Devolos, resulting in Arthur being defeated again.

Burst Rise E22 - The Members of Inferno That Are Participating in The Match

Angered by his loss to both Dante and Delta, Arthur planned to regain his power and requested Gwyn to join Inferno, in which he did and had lended Arthur an Eclipse Armor from his newly evolved Bey, Eclipse Genesis. Arthur soon challenged the Victories to a team battle that would decide the "fate" of the Blading world, but lost.

Special Moves

  • Dark-Flux: Similar to Hyper-Flux, the Bey turns a new color when it and its Blader are in complete synchronization. However, because the unity is corrupted, the Beyblade turns black and crimson with emits magenta/black sparks instead of golden sparkles.
  • Omega Blast: Apocalypse uses the protruding point on its Layer to deal a devastating blow, similar to Xander Shakadera's Saber Strike.
  • Final Blast: After the Layer's sword gets pushed in once, Apocalypse generates more power into the contact point on its Layer to deal a more devastating blow than Omega Blast.
  • Prime Reboot: The semi-flat tip on Apocalypse's Ultimate Reboot' Driver is retracted and the rubber becomes exposed, resulting in a boost that grants Apocalypse more speed and power as it rushes into its opponent.
  • Eclipse Whip: Genesis and Apocalypse use the two blades of the Eclipse Armor to create a powerful slash attack an opponent.
