They say the best offense is a good defense, and Satomb and I know just when to turn the tables.
— Silas Karlisle, Beyblade Burst Evolution - Episode 01

Silas Karlisle, known as Sisco Karlisle (シスコ・カーライル, Shisuko Kārairu; Sisco Karlisle) in the Japanese version, is a character appearing in the anime/manga series, Beyblade Burst Evolution and later appears in Turbo and Surge. He is a member of BC Sol and was briefly a member of Sunbat United. His current Beyblade is Curse Satomb Hurricane Universe 1D.

Appearance

Silas is a tall teenage boy with blue eyes, messy green hair with a yellow lightning-shaped streak bang, purple-tinted triangular glasses, and sharp teeth, like Xander Shakadera and Lui Shirosagi. He also has a purple circle tattoo with a black Beyblade symbol on his left shoulder.

In Evolution, Silas wears a sleeveless black fur-trimmed green jacket over a black shirt, with a rip that goes across the bottom of it, exposing his midriff, a brown studded belt with a purple "S" design in the center, long black gloves, brown boots, and dark brown pants.

In Turbo, Silas retains his green jacket and a brown belt with the purple "S" buckle, but now wears a medium-aquamarine turtle-neck shirt, black gloves with a lime stripe from the middle and ring finger sleeves and extending up to the v-shaped cuff, brown pants with two diagonal lime stripes on each thigh area, and dark-gray boots with knee pads.

In Surge, Silas wears a black fur-trimmed green jacket with white vertical stripes without a shirt underneath, dark-green pants, a brown belt with studs, and he adorns his black gloves and brown boots from Evolution, and his purple "S" buckle.

Personality

Silas is quite rude and arrogant. He is a confident Blader that doesn't care about other's Beys as seen when his Bey, Kinetic Satomb, flings Valt's Victory Valtryek into a pillar, cracking its Layer. Silas only truly tries his hardest against opponents that he believes are strong, as when he faces Valt Aoi for the first time and other Bladers he usually disrespects their abilities or doesn't see them as true opponents.

Silas also has a habit of getting the cricks out of his neck when he is trying to intimidate the Bladers that he is facing or when he is sure that he will triumph over them. When he is bothered, Silas becomes much more rude and snappish, and doesn't answer any questions.

Silas also is known across the world as a powerful Blader, as before he joined BC Sol, he visited many dojos and battled to improve his skills. There, he met and defeated scores of Bladers, not caring about how they were hurt or if he burst their Beys.

Silas's downfall is his cockiness. His arrogance is almost as high as Lui's and has cost him important matches. One good example of this is during the World League, where Silas battled Free De La Hoya and lost simply because of his overconfidence, becoming blind that when he used Cyclone Loop his rollers nullified Drain Fafnir's Drain Spin but moved his Layer causing Satomb to Burst.

However, over the course of the series, Silas eventually mellows out and becomes kinder towards his peers, especially towards Valt Aoi, though he still retains some of his original arrogance at times such as when he faced Lui in the International Blader's Cup.

Silas also has trouble fitting in and making friends due to his arrogance. He sometimes is annoyed when his teammates are cheering for him, but not always. He also keeps his distance from others with for example crossing his arms, which can be whether seen as him being disrespectful or even as a secret insecurity, since he has trouble getting along with others and he doesn't seem to like nice talk and body contact. Later in Evolution though, he starts getting along more with his peers, giving Valt advice and indirectly supporting his teammates.

In Surge, Silas became friendlier and started to accept battles from his friends with polite behavior.

Biography

Beyblade Burst (Manga)

Dante Arc

Silas, along with Kristina Kuroda, Trad Vasquez, Free De La Hoya and Rantaro Kiyama only appeared as a cameo in Dante VS Delta! The Birth of Destined Rivals!! where he was shown confused on who is Drum and asked if he is a newbie. He would later scold Dante for not keeping the "san" in their name which he would be interrupted by Rantaro on telling him not to scare Dante.

Beyblade Burst Evolution

Silas is introduced in the first episode of Beyblade Burst Evolution. He’s first seen challenging one of the strongest Bladers in the neighborhood, Pablo, while Valt and Kit watch. After easily winning the match with a Burst Finish, he is challenged by Valt. Just like the battle against Pablo, Silas manages to beat Valt with a Burst Finish as well. The Burst Finish causes Valtryek to go flying into a nearby pillar, cracking it. Silas taunts Valt and leaves shortly after. Silas is approached by Valt later on in the episode who demands a rematch after evolving his Bey into Genesis Valtryek. During the rematch, Valt beats Silas with a Burst Finish, making Silas genuinely surprised at his loss. Silas leaves the stadium claiming that he’ll remember the match.

Silas is next seen when BC Sol goes against Sunbat United. He loses a round and gets scolded by Wakiya who says that his team has no room for losers. This prompts Silas to leave Sunbat United to join BC Sol when the friendly exhibition matches are over. When he requested to be part of BC Sol, knowing the members in the club will complain about him, he decided to prove his strength against Rantaro Kiyama. However before the battle can begin, Django Del Toro steps in saying Rantaro isn't the front line blader for the club and challenges him to battle, which Silas accepts. Silas then won both Django and Rantaro with a burst finish in their respective matches and making him a member of BC Sol as a substitute blader.

After being part of BC Sol, Silas, Shasa Guten, Stan Hamburg, Rickson Clay, Ivan, Anton, Honey Guten, Kit Lopez and some bladers from BC Sol can be seen spectating the club's match against Top Wand. During the tiebreaker between the 2 clubs, the bladers from BC Sol started to be anxious with the final match which leads to Silas questioning them about the possibility of Free won't battle for the final match. Silas then realised that it depends on Free's mood and according to Ivan, he picked a substitute to take over his place on some occasions. Silas then asked Sasha to confirm if substitutes are allowed to battle which the latter said yes. Silas would then leave his seat and went down to convince Free on letting him battle Cuza. However, Free picked Valt to battle for the final match against Cuza with Valt winning Cuza with a burst finish, Rantaro and Silas can be seen cheering for the club's victory.

He is the one who wins the last battle of the finals against the Raging Bulls and Joshua Burns, thus launching his club to the podium.

He is later chosen to participate in the International Bladers' Cup, and ends up winning fifth place.

Beyblade Burst Turbo

Although not playing a major role in Turbo, Silas only appears in Episode 13 where he makes a cameo appearance and is seen challenging his friend Valt Aoi for the World Champion title but loses to him with a score of 2-3.

Beyblade Burst Surge

He makes his first appears battling against Valt and Rantaro with his evolved Bey Curse Satomb Hurricane Universe 1D; the outcome of that battle is unknown, however. Later on, he witnesses Hyuga Hizashi and Hikaru Hizashi's battle against Valt Aoi. He starts taking interest in the brothers, especially Hyuga, and challenges them to a series of matches. He is joined by Rantaro, and the two end up winning 333 times and not losing once against the Hizashi brothers. After that point, he is usually seen training at the National Training Center in the Rainbow Tree Arena. He does several intense exercises, and when Hyuga joins him in training, he starts to speed up, causing the young Blader to also pick up the pace and fall. Hyuga later challenges Silas to a battle, with the former Blader winning. This causes Silas to see him as a formidable rival instead of a newbie Blader. Later in Surge, Silas participates in the Legend Festival and is teamed up with Rantaro Kiyama and Dante Koryu. While he works well with them, he is still eliminated from the festival. He teamed up with Free De La Hoya for the Ultimate Tag Series. However, during the events of the Ultimate Tag Series, he becomes warmer to Free, despite their rivalry.

Beyblade(s)

Launch Styles

  • Right-handed Launch: Similar to Shu, Silas holds his launcher in his domiant hand, being his left hand. This allows Satomb to have a more stable and controlled spin.
  • Left-handed Launch: With Silas' launcher in his non-domiant hand, being his right hand, Satomb spins at a faster speed and gains more power.
  • Light Launch: When Silas faced Free in the International Blader's Cup, he used this launch style to try and defeat Free.
  • Lightning Launch: When a Blader has achieved complete synchronization with his Beyblade, the Launcher will illuminate and sparkle, granting the bey a temporary increase in speed and power.

Special Moves

  • Roller Defense: Both Kinetic Satomb and Curse Satomb use the rollers on their Layers to deflect incoming attacks.
  • Roller Drift: Satomb falls on the curved edge rollers on its Loop Performance Tip after losing balance from an opponents’ attack, allowing it to drift back around lopsided and unleash a serious counterattack.
  • Cyclone Loop: Satomb uses the curved edges on its Loop Performance Tip to drift in a circle around the stadium, gaining speed and power, and then it attacks.
  • Universe Drift: Curse Satomb falls on the rim of the Universe Driver after losing balance from an opponent‘s attack to allow it to drift around and unleash a serious counterattack.
  • Triple Spin: Satomb uses the rollers on the Curse Ring, the Hurricane Disc's free-spinning feature and the curved edge of the Universe Driver to create three layers of Rings capable of deflecting opposing Beyblades.

Official Descriptions

Beyblade Burst Evolution

Hailed as a Beyblade genius, Silas seeks out strong Bladers to battle because he believes this to be the best way to improve his skills. Silas is an arrogant Blader who thinks the world revolves around him—let’s just say the word ‘sorry’ is not in his vocabulary.

Beyblade Burst Surge

Another Blading legend from the illustrious BC Sol, the powerhouse known as Silas Karlisle has dominated countless tournaments. Years ago, he helped bring the club to prominence alongside Valt Aoi and Rantaro Kiyama. Insolent and unapologetic, Silas believes the world revolves around him.

Relationships

Valt Aoi

Silas and Valt's relationship first started out a rocky one, as Silas damaged Victory Valtryek. He got shocked, however, when Valt burst his Satomb with his newly upgraded Genesis Valtryek. After Sunbat United and BC Sol's friendly match, Silas joined BC Sol, and while he got along well with Valt for the most part, there were moments where the two had disagreements. However, by the time of the World League, Silas eventually came to accept Valt's leadership, especially after borrowing Valt's Vortex Frame for his final battle against Joshua Burns.

During the International Blader's Cup, Silas told Valt he would win his matches, and wanted the both of them to reach the finals. Silas even advised Valt to remove the Strike God Chip for his match against Boa Alcazaba.

In Surge, they're still are on good terms with each other and he even looks up to Valt as his formidable rival and good friend.

Free De La Hoya

Silas has respect for Free De La Hoya's skills, being the best Blader in the World, and fights hard to beat him, thinking of him as one of the only worthy opponents. But, he hates how Valt Aoi, Rantaro Kiyama, and BC Sol as a whole depend on him for his skills so often, and after Free's transfer to the Raging Bulls, Silas takes leadership of the team and works to make it better. Silas also has more urge than anyone to defeat Free, as seen when he used his Roller Defense in the World League to prevent Fafnir's Drain Spin and went as far as to reverse spin steal from Fafnir in the International Blader's Cup.

They still get along in Surge, as Silas was willing to work along with him in the Ultimate Tag Series despite their rivalry.

Ghasem Madal

Silas does not think much of Ghasem at first. During their first encounter, Ghasem was desperate to defeat Silas for humiliating his friends in a battle, despite not knowing much about Beyblade himself. After Silas Burst and destroyed his Bey, Ghasem became bent on revenge, due to the fact that the Bey was given to him by his late father.

During their first battle in the European League, Silas launched with his right hand because of his lack of respect for Ghasem. After he lost, he gained some respect for Ghasem and decided to go all out and battle against him with a left-handed launch. Silas eventually won in the battle and got BC Sol into the World League.

Wakiya Murasaki

Silas and Wakiya were both briefly teammates for Sunbat United. However, Silas was shown to disapprove of Wakiya's bossiness, calling him a 'spoiled brat' and saying that he hates how Sunbat United is a team for losers. Despite there being friction between the two, Wakiya at one point helped convince Silas to return to BC Sol after the latter couldn't find any opponents who could challenge him. Wakiya later helps Silas train to win against Xander in the International Blader's Cup.

Reina

Reina is said to be a big fan of Silas, similar to how Fumiya Kindo looks up to Free De La Hoya, and appears to have a crush on him.

Hyuga Hizashi

At first Silas regards Hyuga as a rookie Blader not worthy of his time, but when Hyuga tried to keep up with him during their training and later is able to beat him, Silas slowly becomes nice to him and starts to him as a worthy rival, even congratulating him for winning the the second Battle Royale of the Legend Festival. He is also shown to ask Hyuga to train with him, and he looks for the young Blader when he doesn't show up to the National Training Center. Despite, their improving relationship, Silas continues to ignore Hyuga and not show his feelings towards him in front of others.
