10 million followers and counting might seem like a lot, but for the mega-famous Blader and influencer Multi Nana-iro, it’s no big deal. Multi’s wide appeal is thanks to an uncanny ability to master absolutely anything, from every kind of Bey to the secret art of the tactical outfit change. Multi’s sarcastic wit is always on hand to offer insight and improvement, which is good because Robin and Jaxon need it more often than not. Multi joined Team Persona at Jaxon’s invitation, but why exactly is this multi-talented Blader aiming for the top of The X?
Beyblade X (Season 2)
