Spryzen, known as Spriggan (スプリガン, Supurigan) in Japan, is a character in the anime/manga series Beyblade Burst, and was the main antagonist in Beyblade Burst Evolution.
Appearance
Storm Spryzen
Spryzen's avatar appears as a hulking orc/oni creature with yellow eyes, red skin with yellow markings, two horns with red tips on his forehead, a bushy blond mane, two tusks on the mandible, orange armor, a pink gem on the tunic, gauntlets with claws, dark-red talons on the hands, white talons on the feet, a long black kilt, a clubbed tail with five spikes on it, and a shield on the left gauntlet.
Spryzen wields a double-sided red ax blade, which is stylized as an "S", and an orange base rod.
Legend Spryzen
Spryzen's body losses his hulking muscles and morphs into a more slender form with spiky blonde hair. He gains a pair of wings, a larger tail, and is clad in orange-framed black body armor. His upper arms, hands and inner thighs lack armor. The armor set consists of a horn-style crown, spiked pauldrons, a crested tunic, armor kilt, phalange armor, gloved vambraces and shin guards. The tunic crest sports a gold medallion with Spryzen's "S" symbol.
Spryzen's ax is replaced with a gold ax-style halberd with a silver rod and silver medallion with Spryzen's "S" symbol.
Spryzen Requiem
The avatar's appearance is exactly the same, but the black armor is colored white, the orange-framed is now gold, the vambraces are gloveless, and the gold and silver medallions with Spryzen's "S" symbol is now a shade of light sea-green.
Turbo Spryzen
Spryzen regains his hulking appearance, full orange body armor, silver phalange armor with two pink gemstones on each, dirty-blonde hair, and light-blue eyes. The armor set consists of a five-horned crown and visor, huge pauldrons with red gems, a silver/red/yellow tunic and silver torso armor, sleek armor kilt, both the vambraces and shin guards have two sections with pink gemstones, armored fingers, outer feet and toes, and an orange medallion with Spryzen's "S" symbol. The wings are now have dark-red patagia and finger-like structures. And, like Shu, Spryzen also sports a scar over the right eye.
Spryzen's weapon is an ax-style halberd with a crimson-framed metallic-white ax blade with gold-framed dark-red parts placed in an "S"-style manner, a silver rod base, and crimson portions and end tip. The ax blade's base also sports a gold-framed dark-red circle with an orange medallion with Spryzen's "S" symbol and five prongs.
Personality
The personality of Spryzen is unknown, but can probably be seen through Shu Kurenai when he is possessed by his Spriggan Requiem: power hungry, aggressive and overall hostile, the polar opposite of his blader’s personality. When Shu was freed from his Bey's control and returned to his normal self, it can be assumed that Spryzen became more benevolent afterwards as well, especially after being upgraded to Turbo Spryzen.
Biography
Background
Before Evolution, Spryzen was an unsentient avatar. After Shu's (as Red Eye) battle with Lui, Shu underwent the Requiem Project where he saw his opponents before meeting Spryzen who promised to help him attain power and created the "Ultimate Beyblade": Spryzen Requiem.
Relationships
Shu Kurenai
Spryzen Requiem was a Beyblade that formerly belonged to Shu Kurenai. It overwhelmed Shu Kurenai with its power and thus brainwashed him into becoming a power-hungry and ruthless blader.
