He wears a plain t-shirt under his short-sleeved jacket while a scarf is wrapped around his neck. He wears skinny jeans held by his belt that is met by a second belt which holds Gingka's equipment. Gingka wears fingerless gloves on his hands and unique shoes on both his feet.
Personality
Gingka is a calm, friendly and optimistic person who looks to the brightside of everything. Although he had to deal with the trauma of watching his father "die", he has never blamed anyone but Ryuga and Doji and is always looking to move forward.
Gingka's friends are his power!
Although Gingka is very confident in his abilities, he is never cocky and shows and extreme amount of good sportsmanship. Gingka has always offered his opponents a gesture of friendship after victory (with the exception of Ryuga and Reiji). Gingka lives for the excitement of battle, to hear the symphony of two powerful Beyblades clashing. Gingka loves to battle strong opponents which is why he'll never waver or back down from battle.
Despite his positive outlook, Gingka does not stand for the use of Beyblades to abuse others and can become very fiercely serious when his friends are put in harm's way because of it. The source of Gingka's strength in battle is everyone who supports him, the bonds he's made with everyone through his friendship gives him strength!
History
Gingka grew up with his father in Koma Village with a dog named Hokuto. Gingka's father Ryo Hagane raised Gingka to love Beyblade and groomed him to become the future owner of his Pegasus 105F. Gingka lived a happy life until one day suspicious activity occurred at a nearby mountain where Ryo decided to investigate. Gingka was notified by Hokuto and rushed to the scene to find his father battling the owner of Pegasus' brother Beyblade; L-Drago 105F and Ryuga.
Ryo passes Pegasus down to Gingka before his "death"
Gingka was shocked to watch as his father's Pegasus was outmatched by the sinister L-Drago. Ryuga gains the upper hand and begins to crush the interior of the mountain, collapsing debris on top of Ryo. Ryo sends out Pegasus to Gingka and tells him that it's time for him to become Pegasus' owner.
The launch allowed Gingka and escape while the rest of the mountain collapsed atop Ryo, sealing his fate. On the outside Gingka picks up his birthright Pegasus and Hokuto convinces Gingka to fight for his father's wishes. Gingka embarked on a journey to become a stronger Beyblader with his Pegasus and left Koma Village for the city.
Plot
While in the city Gingka met Kenta Yumiya after he accidentally lost Pegasus, he finds Kenta being bullied by a bigger blader named Benkei Hanawa. Gingka gives Kenta tips and helps him defeat Benkei, making him retreat. Gingka says goodbye to Kenta and plans to move on but stopped when he reads a notice that tells him that Kenta has been kidnapped by the Facehunters gang and Gingka would need to hand over his Beyblade to save him.
Gingka went to the designated point and was surrounded by one hundred Face Hunters, Benkei and their leader Kyoya who demanded Gingka surrender. When Gingka refuses he is struck by a Beyblade, injuring him but Gingka does not stress and instead he takes their challenge head on. Gingka battles all one hundred at the same time and defeats them in a matter of seconds using Pegasus.
Gingka battles the fachunters leader; Kyoya Tategami!
By defeating all one hundred Gingka had impressed Kyoya enough to be challenged to a one-on-one match on top of the Face Hunter's hideout. Gingka accepts and follows Kyoya in order to save Kenta.
They battle on top of the windy roof which gives Kyoya's Leone 145D added abilities and attack power, enough to outdo Pegasus in a power struggle. Gingka realized that the key to winning was to exploit Pegasus' true nature in flight. He allowed Pegasus to soar and unlocked it's special move; Shooting Star Attack!
Pegasus dove down and crashed atop Leone, defeating it by sending out of the stadium. Kyoya is shocked and distraught by his defeat, but Gingka reassures him it was a battle well fought. Kyoya accepts his gesture which marks the beginning of their friendly rivalry. It's not long after that the two are confronted by a mysterious man who attacks them with his Wolf Beyblade and destroys the platform underneath them, causing the entire building to collapse.
Gingka recognizes the man as Doji who was with Ryuga when his father was killed and realizes he is after Pegasus. Gingka uses Pegasus to knock himself, Kenta and Kyoya to safety but exhausts himself and faints. Gingka wakes up to find that he had been found by Hokuto who had been attacked by one of the Dark Nebula, an evil organization that Doji and Ryuga rule.
Ryuga defeats Gingka and destroys Pegasus
Now at full strength, Gingka easily defeats Busujima right out of the launch. Busujima tries to retreat but is stepped on by none other than the evil Ryuga, who came personally to defeat Gingka and destroy Pegasus once and for all. Gingka has been preparing for this moment and is ready to face Ryuga with Pegasus and Launcher in hands, their battle begins.
Ryuga is far too overconfident that Gingka will be weak like his father, but Gingka battles ferociously for his father and with murder in his eyes Gingka gains the upper hand on Ryuga. Gingka's burning passion passed down from Ryo is enough to blast L-Drago further and further back into a corner, stunning Ryuga to silence.
After a striking blow to Ryuga's pride, Ryuga becomes furious and uses L-Drago's full power to strike down Pegasus, destroying it in a single blow. Ryuga leaves Gingka crushed by defeat, feeling as he has failed his father. Hokuto reunites with Gingka and gives him a note that his father left him which gives the location of the Beyblade Deity; Mawashi who can help to make Pegasus stronger.
Gingka receives his new reborn Pegasus; Storm Pegasus 105RF
Hoping to revive Pegasus, Gingka joined by Hokuto, Kyoya and Kenta head into the Beyblade Forest to find him. They spot a beyblading Monkey who taunts and defeats Kyoya, leading Gingka to face him with a wooden make version of Pegasus. Kyoya was defeated because he tried to take a stone Beyblade head-on, but Gingka knows better and out blades it into a stadium out, causing the monkey to reveal himself as Mawashi.
Mawashi sends Gingka on a trial to Pegasus' and L-Drago's birthplace where Pegasus can be reborn. Gingka heads into a frozen mountain where he is battered by the wind and snow. Gingka does not waiver and continues to the top.
Gingka finds his way to the top of the mountain but collapses due to him nearly being frozen. Before Gingka gives up, he remembers his father's sacrifice that gives Gingka enough drive to Launch his Wooden Pegasus with Pegasus' facebolt into the frozen water through the ice.
Gingka, Kenta and Kyoya decide to enter Battle Bladers
Pegasus is enchanted by the water of its birthplace and is reborn anew, into Storm Pegasus 105RF. He is amazed by the beauty of his new Pegasus and prepares to battle Kyoya until Doji locates them in his helicopter and challenges Gingka to finish what Ryuga started.
Gingka struggles to control Pegasus but learns that it has incredible attack and endurance as Doji's Wolf D125B begins to break itself by attacking. Gingka realizes that he and Pegasus bond has never been stronger and deals the finishing blow, destroying Wolf and defeating Doji.
Doji congratulates Gingka on victory and gives him an invitation to a tournament known as Battle Bladers where the Dark Nebula plans to take over the Beyblade World. Hoping to stand in their way Gingka, Kenta and Kyoya promise to enter and help defeat the Dark Nebula to save what they love.
Battle Bladers
Ready to challenge the Dark Nebula's Beybladers, Gingka and Kenta head to the Battle Bladers tournament where they are met by a reformed Kyoya and Benkei along with their Beyblades. Gingka is excited to battle alongside them against the Nebula.
Gingka congratulates Ryutaro on a match well fought
Benkei and his Bull 125SF battle in the first round against Ryuga. Benkei fights hard but is overwhelmed when Ryuga evolves his Beyblade into Lightning L-Drago 100HF causing Benkei to lose the match, severely injuring him. Gingka watches as Kyoya vows revenge and dominates The Dark Nebula's Tetsuya in their match.
Gingka is surprised to watch the next few matches as Kenta and Hikaru are defeated by two mysterious bladers while Gingka must also face a rather unknown blader named Ryutaro. Ryutaro's Beyblade Thermal Pisces T125ES has the ability to distort Gingka's view on the stadium making it difficult for him to battle. It doesn't take long for Gingka to find that it's the bey's tip that allows it to do so and lifts Pisces off the ground allowing Gingka a clear shot for victory. Ryutaro is distraught by being defeated by Gingka, but Gingka reassures him by showcasing his good sportsmanship.
This leaves only three members to combat the three members of the Dark Nebula, but too soon Kenta is defeated by yet another unknown Beyblader who turns out to be a member of the Dark Nebula. In the next round, Gingka would partner with Kyoya and his new Rock Leone 145WB to face Tsubasa and Earth Eagle 145WD, who defeated Hikaru and Yu and his Flame Libra T125ES, who defeated Kenta. Gingka and Kyoya only got a glimpse of their power, they somewhat underestimate how dangerous their opponents can be.
Yu and Tsubasa counterattack fiercely, pushing Gingka and Kyoya against each other due to the rotating stadium. They are nearly knocked out with a surprise attack but are saved by another mechanism within the stadium; a retractable wall that prevents stadium outs.
Gingka and Kyoya get there first big win over the Dark Nebula
Tsubasa takes the lead and displays amazing speed and attack power while he knocks Gingka across the stadium. Before Kyoya can support Gingka he is cut off by Yu, Gingka is unable to gain any momentum to counterattack Tsubasa's powerful Aquila.
But after being pushed back, Gingka begins to use Pegasus' power to collect wind around itself and is boosted by Kyoya's Windstorm Wall to send Pegasus flying into Aquila, finally smashing it back.
Yu moves in to strike Kyoya's blind spot, but Gingka supports him by spinning Pegasus around Leone to create an even larger tornado that is enough to best Libra's insane amount of endurance and send it out of the arena. Tsubasa tries to take then on with his Aquila's incredible abilities but when Gingka and Kyoya work together, nothing can stand in their way.
They disperse the tornado to send Gingka's Pegasus into the air and use Kyoya's Leone to hold Aquila in place while Pegasus crashes back down with its special move. The shock of the impact sends both Leone and Aquila out of the stadium, but because Pegasus remains, Kyoya's sacrifice allowed them a solid victory of the Dark Nebula's finest.
Gingka congratulates Sora for trying against Ryuga
After winning, Gingka is confronted by "his biggest fan" Sora Akatsuki who also possesses a Pegasus beyblade: Cyber Pegasus 100HF. He congratulates Gingka and hopes to face him in the next round. Gingka watches as the Dark Nebula's remaining members all surround Sora as he's tagged with Tobio Oike with Storm Capricorn M145Q to face Ryuga with Lightning L-Drago 100HF and Reiji with Poison Serpent SW145SD. Tobio is quickly eliminated by Reiji who destroys his beyblade, Gingka is surprised to see that Reiji would do that to another Nebula blader.
Sora battles valiantly and gets the upper hand on Reiji but is blindsided by Ryuga and eventually shot out of the stadium, and through the "no outs" blocker. Sora is injured from the experience and Gingka promises that he will stop Ryuga's tyranny for his number one fan.
Ryuga leaves the arena after destroying the roof, dispersing all the bladers and spectators. Gingka is alone until he confronted by the mysterious Phoenix who challenges him with his bey: Burn Fireblaze 135MS. Gingka accepts and they battle in the abandoned arena but is quickly defeated by the mysterious man. Phoenix suddenly has a large personality change when he teases Gingka by pulling on his face and walks away after congratulating him. This sparks suspicion within Gingka about Pheonix.
Gingka is reunited with his father
He follows Phoenix to receive training on Storm Pegasus' abilities. He finds that Pegasus can use its performance tip to spin around itself to increase speed dramatically and produce enough power to blast Phoenix's Fireblaze out of the arena. After completing his training, Gingka is assaulted by Doji who sends his Wolf flying at his blindside, Phoenix intercepts and protects Gingka.
The attack blasts Phoenix's clothes off revealing that it is in fact Gingka's father Ryo under the disguise. Gingka is relieved to find that his father is alive after all this time but turns his attention to Doji, who approaches. He launches his Pegasus and uses his father's technique to blast Doji away with its power.
Gingka takes on Kyoya's vow to defeat Ryuga
Gingka returns to the battle bladers tournament as one of the final four including the others as Ryuga, Reiji and Kyoya. As destiny would set it, Kyoya would face Ryuga in the first match of the semifinals. Gingka hoped not for revenge and would rather Kyoya defeat him. But Kyoya struggles to deal with L-Drago's power as Gingka did, but Kyoya tries to collapse four walls around the stage atop both his Leone and Ryuga's L-Drago.
The stadium collapses on top of both Leone and Ryuga, Kyoya sacrificing himself to avenge their fallen friends. But Ryuga's L-Drago emerges from the rubble and claims victory. Kyoya was excessively injured by Ryuga's brutality and Gingka was very displeased by the outcome, becoming increasingly serious and throwing his pleasant demeanor to the wind. He saw that Kyoya was cared to by the medic and promised to him that he would defeat Ryuga once and for all.
Deadset on facing Ryuga, Gingka defeats Reiji with ease
Gingka is set to face Reiji but is only focused on Ryuga. Gingka turns away from battle to tell him off, to tell Ryuga that the brutality will not stand and that the Dark Nebula will fall by Gingka's hand. When Reiji tries to get Gingka's attention his Beyblade is shattered by Pegasus, easily sealing Gingka's victory.
Gingka leaves the stage to confront Ryuga head on to tell him he is not afraid, that Ryo is alive and everyone behind Gingka supports him with every breath. Gingka has never been more ready to take on Ryuga.
Gingka and Ryuga move to the final stage, set in the outdoors with everyone watching. Their destined battle finally begins, Ryuga expects to bully and overpower Gingka as he's done to everyone else, but Gingka blasts him back with Storm Pegasus. Gingka knows that Pegasus has enough power as long as Gingka uses his father's technique.
But Ryuga has power instore of his own, able to blast back at Pegasus even when using its ability to rotate to increase power. Gingka begins to waiver as Ryuga continues to brutalize Pegasus until from the sidelines, everyone Gingka promised reminds him that they are there every step of the way. Ready to take on that responsibility, Gingka battles knowing that his friends are his power!
Obviously outmatching Ryuga, Gingka begins to push him into a corner. Ryuga becomes furious and releases his mental stability to L-Drago, allowing its Dark Power to control his mind to give him power. Ryuga unleashes a powerful attack from the sky that engulfs everything in darkness and destroys the entire stadium. Gingka awakes in a pile of rubber to view Pegasus still spinning in shambles.
All the Beybladers support Gingka in his final battle with Ryuga
His father Ryo helps him up and advises him to stay strong for what comes next, Ryuga stands tall above the rubble, driven insane by the darkness of L-Drago. Gingka's friends are injured by the collapsing stadium once again showcasing Ryuga's mercilessness that Gingka won't stand for. Gingka becomes furious and tries to attack, only to be outmatched by the Dark Power of Ryuga.
Gingka and his new friends are victorious!
Ryuga unleashes his finishing move that covers L-Drago in a spinning wheel of darkness that would cut Gingka and Pegasus to pieces if it were to connect. Gingka refuses to back down and prepares to take this threat head on, but as he said, the power of his friends is there for him.
Kenta, Sora, Ryutaro and Kyoya use their Beyblades to halt the attack. Ryuga blasts all of them away and prepares to finish off Gingka, but Kyoya rallies all the Beybladers there into supporting Gingka, believing that all bladers must help to defeat the Dark Nebula!
The power of all his friends, and all the bladers who support him at all enchant Pegasus with a new power; Pegasus evolves into Galaxy Pegasus W105R2F! This new Pegasus is able to take L-Drago head on and send it back with incredible power, defeating L-Drago once and for all.
Ryuga regains his mind and is met by a friendly smile from Gingka, but he leaves without a word. With the Dark Nebula officially defeated, Gingka and all the friends he's made celebrate with one final fantastic bey battle.
Big Bang Bladers
After defeating the Dark Nebula, Gingka returns to his normal life and is soon surprised to hear that the world championships are approaching. He travels to the Japanese Selection matches to decide Team Japan to find that many of his fiends including old enemies are participating.
Gingka struggles to control Galaxy Pegasus, luckily defeating Sora
Gingka battles first against Sora, Tobio and Ryutaro where he easily defeats Ryutaro while Sora dominates Tobio. Gingka then battles against Sora alone but finds that his Galaxy Pegasus is difficult to control and nearly loses because of it, but he is able to knock Sora's Pegasus from the ring.
Gingka realizes that he's lucked out and goes to his father for advice, Ryo tells him that Galaxy Pegasus has a large amount of raw energy that Gingka will learn to control. Gingka notices almost directly afterwards that Benkei and Kenta have been defeated by a newcomer but before Gingka can act, the newcomer is challenged by Gingka whom he also defeats and secures his spot next to Gingka on team Japan.
When Gingka congratulates this newcomer, he claims to be the real number one rather than Gingka and reveals himself to be Masamune Kadoya. Masamune gloats about being stronger then Gingka, leading Gingka's friends to cheer him into battling Masamune. Gingka worries about controlling Pegasus but decides to battle Masamune and his Ray Striker D125CS. Directly off the start, Gingka struggles to control Pegasus new power allowing Masamune to attack and capitalize on him.
Gingka and his new friend/rival Masamune form Team Japan
Gingka is stunned by Masamune's cunning while Masamune is disappointed in Gingka's blading, leading Gingka to try harder and become frustrated with himself. Masamune continues to push Gingka to the edge of his own self-confidence, but it does not take long before Gingka remembers all the bladers who look up to him, and with trust like that there is nothing Gingka cannot overcome.
Rather than trying to force Pegasus, Gingka allows it to soar, unlocking its potential as a Winged Horse. Pegasus soars into the sky and crashes down upon the stadium using Gingka's new finishing move; Star Gazer!
Masamune's chances of winning were doused by the attack as his Unicorno is sent flying out of the stadium, sealing Gingka's victory. Even after being defeated, Masamune respects Gingka's victory and agrees to work together as teammates, creating Japan's very own Team GanGan Galaxy.
The new team travels with allies; Kyoya, Kenta, Sora and Benkei to China to face there first opponents. They are met by two mysterious figures who turn out to be China's team Wang Hu Zhong. Chi-yun revealed himself first to face Masamune. During the match Masamune was in trouble due to Chi-yun's Thermal Lacerta's Wing Attack Spin Track which cut the air into blades and slashes up Masamune's Unicorno.
Gingka and Kenta accidentally dropped Masamune's chips onto the stadium where Masamune can see the pattern of the air is helping his Unicorno. With that aid, Masamune defeats Chi-yun and they are on to face the next member. Chi-yun is punished physically and verbally by the second member, displeasing Gingka who reencourages Chi-yun to not fret defeat. The second member is Dashan Wang who feels Chi-yun failed China through failure and took on Masamune and defeated him in a matter of seconds.
Gingka battles Dashan in the deciding final match-up
Because Masamune was so rash and didn't visualize Dashan's abilities he was defeated so easily, Gingka went into his battle with Dashan, knowing this in mind. Gingka has trouble dealing with Dashan's Rock Giraffe's Rubber Wings which we used to defeat Masamune. The Wings repel each of Pegasus attacks, absorbing the shock and sending Pegasus back with less and less Stamina every contact. Because Gingka is attacking so bluntly without aim, his attacks have no effect on Giraffe.
Dashan permanently switches to defense mode and begins to gloat about his Giraffe's overwhelming power, during this time Gingka finds the weak point in the space between each rubber wing and begins to use precise attacks. Because Dashan is not paying much attention to the precision of each strike while Giraffe is not moving, the rubber wings suffer severe damage.
Dashan plans to easily counter Gingka's next attack and is shocked when his Giraffe's rubber wings are shattered, leaving it defenseless. With the last ounce of his power, Gingka unleashes his final attack and knocks Giraffe from the stadium, winning the match. Gingka celebrates and is surprised to see that Dashan and Chi-yun congratulate GanGan Galaxy's victory.
Gingka and Masamune move on to Europe where they easily defeat Aleksey and Dora of Russia's Team, meanwhile Korea's Team is dominated by Julius Caesar of Europe's Team Excalibur. Gingka's Team are up next to face him; Masamune confronts him but is stopped by his mate; Klaus. Although Gingka wishes to defeat Julian first, Masamune ties Gingka's scarf to the stands so Masamune can settle the score.
Gingka battles Julius in Masamune's honor
Masamune doesn't do well against Julian's dual rotation Beyblade that overpowers him in reverse rotation. When Masamune finds a way around it, he is outmatched once again by his Perseus' ability to freeze it in place using the Head of Medusa. Masamune is ultimately brutalized and dominated by Julius and his Gravity Perseus who show no mercy. Gingka does not take this well and becomes furious with Julius, ready to avenge his fallen teammate in their next match.
Gingka starts off very strong by pushing Perseus back even though it is in reverse rotation. Julius tries to use the power of medusa on Pegasus early, but Gingka is able to break through with pure force. Gingka's fury is unleashed on Julius Beyblade and causes him to become nervous because his father is watching.
Although Julius becomes very angry, Gingka begins to lighten up, only making him more furious. Gingka is able to mimic Masamune's technique to outmatch the reverse rotation, by using his Unicorno's Coated Sharp performance tip to gain extreme speed to lap and outpace Perseus' wide defense. With the power of Pegasus and Unicorno, Masamune's technique works for Gingka and slams Perseus out of the stadium, defeating Julius.
Gingka suffers from his injuries and loses to Argo
Now Team Japan would have to face Team Brazil. With Masamune injured by Julius, Gingka plans to move on by winning all by himself. He promises Masamune that he'll win and while on his way via boat, he is sabotaged and nearly blown to death by his opponent Argo, who rigged his ship with a bomb.
Gingka survives the ordeal and suffers serious injuries. Even so Gingka does no give in and decides to move on with the battle, to fight for all those he left back in Japan. Despite his determination, Gingka's injuries are too great and causes him to collapse at the very start of the battle, losing the match.
Although it seems over for Team Japan, Team Japan can still continue if they substitute for Gingka. As destiny would have it, Ryuga would arrive in the nick of time in challenge Argo in the name of Japan.
From the very start of the battle, Argo does display some amount of skill, able to dominate Ryuga's new Meteo L-Drago. But after all, Ryuga was toying with him by literally absorbing his attacks in one final attack defeats Argo in a single blow. The fright of Ryuga strikes Argo's brother Ian who immediately forfeits.
Now Japan would have only one opponent to officially win Big Bang Bladers; Team USA. While arriving in America, Gingka and Masamune are welcomed by all their old opponents and friends including Kyoya, Kenta, Benkei, Dashan, Julius and many more. While celebrating Gingka, Kenta and Masamune decide to get more food, and in their absence, Team America arrives and attacks their friends, stealing their consciousness with their evil Beyblade; Hell Kerbecs.
Gingka returned to find that all his friends were soulless and furiously attacked the perpetrator, Damian Hart. Gingka is easily overpowered and nearly defeated but is saved by Masamune. Masamune takes a fatal blow with his Unicorno in order to save Gingka and his consciousness is taken by the evil Beyblade. Gingka swears revenge for all his friends in one final battle with Damian.
Gingka and Ryuga agree to work together to avenge those taken by Hades Inc
After dropping his friends off at the hospital, Gingka is confronted by Ryuga who demands to test Gingka's power. Gingka accepts and loses sight of the notion that he should be by his friend's side until the final round against Damian. He battles Ryuga fiercely but is reminded by Kenta from the hospital window that his place is with the friends who lost their minds to protect him.
Ryuga was impressed to see Gingka's drive as the match ended in a draw after Gingka unleashed an attack to try and end the match. Ryuga respected Gingka's passion to fight for something he believes in and warns Gingka that Hades Inc is behind the creation of Hell Kerbecs, a Beyblade that can absorb someone's consciousness/mind in order to become stronger and stronger to the point where it can dominate the world. The two agree to fight together for the first time in order to take down Hades Incorporated.
Gingka battles Team America's first; Zeo Abyss
Gingka would now go it alone against Team America and would have to win against both Zeo Abyss and Damian Hart to win for everyone. Gingka would have to face the mysterious Zeo first and is surprised to see that his Flame Byxis is a skyscraper like beyblade. It stands high above Pegasus with a 230 Track which neutralizes most of Gingka's efforts to gain and offensive lead.
The track itself is invulnerable to all of Pegasus' attacks and with its wheel it can send Pegasus flying back. Gingka figures that it's upper parts should be more vulnerable but fails to damage it until he finds out that its only weak point is its face bolt. The only way to attack that is using Pegasus' Star Gazer to attack from above. It seems like the attack doesn't work at first, but it is successful and slashes Flame Byxis in half shocking Zeo and winning the match for Japan.
Even in the darkness of Hades, Gingka's friends are there to save him
Now Gingka would finally get his shot at Damian Hart, but before they could officially battle, Damian's leader Faust ordered him to destroy the stadium and drown Gingka in the ocean below. Damian tried to do just that with his Hell Kerbecs but Gingka was saved by his father. Ryo encouraged Gingka to stop Damian and gave him his dual wing Pegasus headband to prove how proud he was.
Gingka accepted his new rank as the owner of Pegasus and relaunched his attack on Damian. He fights Damian fiercely but is ultimately swallowed by his dark gate into Hades, where has trapped the minds of all Gingka's friends. While drowning in the darkness, Gingka is found by Kyoya and his other friends who help him out of Hades Darkness and back into the battle with Damian.
After winning it all, Gingka's true prize is being reunited with his friends
Because of all the spirits that are with Gingka, they enchant his beyblade into evolving once again into Cosmic Pegasus F:D! Big Bang Pegasus has enough attack power to overpower the Evil Kerbecs who's stolen souls can no longer power it as they are with Pegasus and of their own free will at that. Damian becomes Furious and unleashes all his reserves to attack Gingka, but Gingka stands tall after all is said and done.
Gingka realizes in that moment that Big Bang and himself have enough power after all to overcome Damian. Gingka unlocks the power of Pegasus and uses his new special move; Big Bang Tornado! The attack gives Pegasus enough of a boost to slam Kerbecs into infinity; freeing all the capturing souls to return back to their respective hosts.
This free's Damian's own mind from its control and now that Gingka can see who he truly is, Gingka decides to befriend Damian. In that moment everything lights up, as Gingka's friends return to congratulate and embrace him. Everything returns to peace as Gingka would always and forever want.
Ultimate Bladers
Gingka battles Yuki Mizusawa
Gingka, after successfully defeating Hades Inc and freeing the minds of his friends, has settled down back to his normal life. Gingka took part in a minor tournament where he dominated, soon after Gingka was confronted and challenged by an unknown blader. The Blader is named Yuki Mizusawa and with his Mercury Anubis Beyblade, he was able to provide Gingka's first challenge since defeating Damian.
This challenge was short lived, Gingka was able to defeat Yuki simply by switching Big Bang Pegasus into Final Drive mode. After his defeat, Yuki reveals that he is with the newly established "WBBA" (World Beyblade Association) and has invited Gingka to participate in the Ultimate Bladers Tournament.
Gingka agrees to join and qualifies with 12000 Beypoints, Gingka figures that no one else could have racked up as many Beypoints as himself and feels as if he'll breeze through the first round. To his surprise he is matched up with another individual with 12000 BP, none other than his rival Kyoya Tategami!
Gingka takes on Kyoya in the first round of Ultimate Bladers
He greets Kyoya but is rejected, Kyoya feeling as if Gingka has overshadowed him for too long and is ready to battle him as an opponent rather than a friend. Gingka reflects Kyoya's attitude and prepares to take on a reborn Kyoya and his new Fang Leone Beyblade.
The battle begins as Gingka's surprised by Kyoya's newfound powers. Pegasus is constantly pressed by the New Leone. Now on equal standards, Kyoya proves to be a true challenge for Gingka to overcome. By using special moves such as his Windstorm Wall, Kyoya would try to keep his hold on the match. Gingka reads through his attack and uses Pegasus ability to take flight to use Leone's own power against it. Pegasus uses the strangth of the tornado to propel itself into the air and then came down crashing with its own power to defeat Leone and win the match.
Soul Burst
Following the Nemesis Crisis, the WBBA designed the BURST (Burst Under Resisting Serious Trouble) system to limit the bey's destruction potential. This change led to every blader converting their current bey into the BURST system. 6 months later, Gingka, Kyoya and Kenta participated in the World Championships hosted in Macau. Kyoya defeated an unknown blader while Gingka defeated Kenta in the semi-finals.
As the final match between Gingka and Kyoya was about to start, they were interrupted by one of the representatives of the tournament's sponsor from TERA Sports Co. known as, Big Lord. Big Lord challenges Gingka and Kyoya to battle his Grisalis GOD Absorb, the company's new Bey in which the duo accepted the challenge. As the match started, Kyoya and Leone attacked Big Lord's Grisalis but was defeated after Grisalis stopped Leone's Lion Gale Force Wall and won with an Over Finish.
As Big Lord was distracted by Kyoya, Gingka unleashed his special move on Grisalis, Shooting Star Attack, destroying it in the process. However, Grisalis reassembled itself into Neo Wolf GOD Absorb, revealing Big Lord as the infamous, Doji. Doji explained his plans to Gingka on using Beyblades as weapons and absorbing other blader's beys through the stadium that is being used for the tournament for his newly evolved Wolf.
Doji defeated Gingka's Storm Pegasis with ease, but his plans were backfired as Gingka's gang infiltrated the basement that is controlling the stadium and converted the energy given to Wolf to Pegasis, making it reassemble itself. Not only Gingka has the energy given to Wolf, but he also received help from his friends and spectators all over the world through their blader's spirit and bey power. After receiving all the help he needs, Gingka unleashes Burst Soul and defeated Wolf, claiming the victor of the World Championships and saved the world from domination once again.
Zero G
After the events of Soul Burst, Gingka travels overseas to stop Doji and Dark Nebula to uncover their plans and to prevent another world domination by them. During this time, Kyoya sometimes assisted him to uncover their plans as well while he inherited his father's industrial business. 7 years later after the Nemesis Crisis, Gingka saves Shinobu Hiryuin with his newly evolved Samurai Pegasus W105R2F during the finals of the Neo Battle Bladers before the roof falls onto him. Zyro Kurogane takes his place on battling Kira Hayama while he battles the now cyborg, Doji once again with his remodeled Wolf. After Kira's defeat in the hands of Zyro, Doji stopped his battle against Gingka and fled away from the scene.
One year later, he and Kyoya were both seen to be spectators of the finals match between Zyro and Shinobu of a tournament while talking about Doji's whereabouts and the next generation of bladers.
Beyblades
Gingka and his birth right beyblade; Pegasus!
- Training Pegasus 105F: Gingka's first Beyblade, it was a variant of Pegasis 105F. The wheel is based on the prototype for the Pegasis Wheel where the wheel is made out of wood. It was used in his childhood, and later used after Pegasis 105F was destroyed.
- Pegasus 105F: After his father's "death", Gingka received Pegasus as his birthright and grew up to become its perfect match. It is a powerful four-layer attack type Beyblade with great speed and attack power, able to defeat a hundred beys in no time at all. During Gingka's first battle with Ryuga it was destroyed by its brother Beyblade; L-Drago. Gingka made a wood mâché version of it using Pegasus template, it would later be reborn as Storm Pegasus 105RF.
- Storm Pegasus 105RF: After making a paper mâché replica of Pegasus, Gingka traveled into the BeyForest to find Mawashi, the great Beyblade Deity. Mawashi led Gingka to the birthplace of Pegasus where he would have it reborn as the new Storm Pegasus. Storm Pegasus is an attack type Beyblade that possess incredible power and speed which Gingka learned to utilize from his father; Ryu Hagane. During Gingka's final battle with Ryuga, it evolved further into Galaxy Pegasus W105R2F.
- Galaxy Pegasus W105R2F: Storm Pegasus evolved during Gingka's battle with Ryuga to become Galaxy Pegasus. He initially struggled to control its power but gained control during his battle with Masamune Kadoya. It has incredible speed and attack power due to the combination of its track and tip which simultaneously allow it to soar into the air.
- Cosmic Pegasus F:D: Galaxy Pegasus Evolved during its battle with Damian and his evil Hell Kerbecs. Big Bang had enough power to defeat Kerbecs with his new special move Big Bang Tornado.

Finishing Moves
- Shooting Star Attack (Japanese: シューティングスター\攻撃): Gingka always struggled to understand Pegasus abilities but finally discovered Pegasus' power to soar in his battle with Kyoya. Pegasus can soar into the air and crash down upon the opponent with great force to send them flying. After being reborn into Storm Pegasus, Pegasus retains this incredible ability.
- Star Gazer (Japanese: スターゲイザー): Gingka created this move with Galaxy Pegasus when he realized its ability to soar into the sky using its speed from its tip and grip on its wheel. Pegasus soars into the stars itself, causing its opponent to gaze at it as it crashes down on top of them and crushes them into stardust.
