History

Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G

As Neo Battle Bladers was just beginning for tournament play and for Bladers to enter, Genjūro Kamegaki oversaw Crimson Challenger, Ren Kurenai in her immense and swift defeat of multiple Bladers. Unintimidated yet impressed, he challenged Ren to a battle for the placing of Neo Battle Bladers and with Ren's zealous attitude, she accepted without a doubt.

With his Beyblade Bandid Genbull F230TB against Ren's Thief Phoenic E230GCF, the two Beys clashed in an epic battle as Ren commanded Phoenic to issue hits while Genjūro just had his Genbull dodge every single hit, in a defensive manner. Yet, even with Phoenic's beast roaring in glory as the firebird had, she had no way of knowing that the tables would turn when he let out Bandid Genbull's beast of the Black Tortoise and with a Special Move, threw Thief Phoenic out of the BeyStadium with Ren out of the competition.

He soon receives a call from the heads of DNA, asking him how the battle ended up and assured them that he won and that everything was going as they had precisely planned to.

He then battles Sakyo for a place in the Final Eight, and still had a chance to win. But the Dragon Emperor defeats him and knocks his Genbull out, eliminating him from the tournament causing Sakyo to move on to be one of the final eight.

Trivia

• Genjūro Kamekaki was deliberately designed to pay homage to one of the four protagonists of the Original Series, Max Tate.
  • Their respective Beyblades are also based on the same mythological creature, the Black Tortoise of the North.
    • The Black Tortoise was one of the Four Symbols of Chinese astronomy whom was represented as a black tortoise with a snake coiling around it. It was known as "Xuanwu" in Chinese and in Japanese: "Genbu".
• His surname, Kamegaki (亀垣) is Japanese for "turtle fence", referring to the source material of his Beyblade and how it defends itself in battle.
• Genjūro means "mystic tenth son" in Japanese.
  • Interestingly though, is that he shares his given name with Genjuro Kibagami, a character from The King of Fighters video-game franchise. His surname even seems to be malformation of the latter's. i.e. Kamekaki vs. Kibagami
    • This is a similar case in how Sakyo Kurayami shared appearance-wise traits with Iori Yagami, also appearing in The King of Fighters.
