Zeo Abyss

Not to be confused with Zeo Zagart from the original Beyblade series.

Zeo Abyss is a former member of Team Star Breaker, representing America in Beyblade: Metal Masters. He currently battles with his Spiral Fox TR145W²D.

Appearance

Zeo has long spiky hair pulled back into a short ponytail with beige highlights and blue eyes. He wears a black suit with metal pads, a purple collar, with purple highlights and a red shirt underneath. In Metal Fury, he gets a new average look which is a red jacket with a white shirt and black pants, similar to his previous outfit prior to joining HD Academy.

Personaility

Zeo is a very friendly and respectful Beyblader. He was a large part of Team Star Breaker and their second most powerful beyblader. Zeo makes friends very easily, due to his open and cheerful personality, although in the beginning, he was envious of Masamune and Toby because they were much better at Beyblade than him. Zeo respects all of his opponents and uplifts them to do the best they can; this is the same case with everyone else he battles, except his enemies (such as Dr. Ziggurat and Nemesis).

Beyblade: Metal Masters

Background History

Zeo was born in America. After taking up a love for Beyblade, he joined the Dungeon Gym and made a new friend, Toby. The two trained together, studying each other like Teacher and Student. At some point, Masamune Kadoya, a boy from Japan, arrived. The three became the best of friends and trained at the Gym everyday. However, Masamune left to Japan with the desire to become the "Number One Blader in the World" and help afford Toby's treatment. Zeo, however, did not know this and thought that Masamune had betrayed them.

Big Bang Bladers

Zeo makes his first appearance in the episode "Midday Street Battle", when he defeats Ian Garcia on a live WBBA Telecast. He is described by Masamune as an old friend who had drive, but no real blader spirit and could never have made the American team.

He makes his first real appearance in "The Friend's Name is Zeo". Zeo debuts when he re-encountered Masamune, who was in America for the World Championships with Team Gan Gan Galaxy. He acted as if he was happy to see Masamune and revealed that he had attended HD Academy in order to improve his beyblading skills, and obtained his new bey, Flame Byxis 230WD. He and Masamune have a friendly match that ends in a no contest because they both recalled their beyblades so they could finish it during the world championship final round.

After he leaves Masamune and his friends he goes back to HD Academy and trains by defeating several bladers. He then challenges Ryuga who was been brought in for testing by Jack. He is defeated by Ryuga and then genetically engineered by the "Arrange System" to become more agressive in order to become a stronger beyblader.

Zeo searches out Masamune and challenges him to another battle in belief that Masamune betrayed him and Toby due to the Arranged System's enhanced agression. He nearly defeats Masamune until Gingka gets in the way, but Zeo was nearly able to defeat them both, even with Gingka's efforts.

Zeo Full Arrange — Zeo at 100% Arrangement

In the first match of Team Starbreakers vs Team Gan Gan Galaxy, Zeo battled Masamune with his Arranged Levels on the rise. Zeo and Masamune continue to argue about Masamune's relationship with Zeo and Toby, Zeo believing that he betrayed he and Toby. Once Masamune gains the upper hand over Zeo's Destiny Needle, Zeo's arrange system hits 100% allowing Zeo to unleash another special move which defeats Masamune.

Zeo is taken back to HD Academy for debriefing. but returns to normal after viewing the new and improved Toby. Zeo is locked away in HD Academy during the launch of Hades City, but escapes. During his escape he realizes his true path and finds Masamune fighting against Faust (Toby). He joins the battle, allowing them to defeat Faust and return him to normal.

Trivia

Zeo and Byxis' special move is very similar to Ryutaro's Distortion Drive, however, unlike Distortion Drive, Byxis can move the opposing bey and toss it, etc.
It is unknown what happened to Flame Byxis after Metal Masters, because in Metal Fury, Zeo now uses Screw Fox.
It is possible he might have left it to get destroyed along with Hades City.
He's similar to Screw Fox because his hair is similar to Fox's hair.
He has the same first name as Zeo Zagart in the original series.
Zeo last name Abyss, is also a bottomless pit sometimes connected to the underworld or hell, which may be a reference to Hades Kerbecs, the top bey on Team Star Breaker.
After he was affected by the Arrange System, he appeared more aggressive and evil.
He was the only member of the team who didn't want to rely on the Arrange System because he believed he could win without it.
He was the only member on Team Star Breakers who seemed to be hurt by the Arrangement System.
All of the beys he owned are all Balance-Type Beyblades.
Zeo seems taller in Beyblade: Metal Masters compared to Beyblade: Metal Fury. This may be because he owns a taller bey in Metal Masters (Flame Byxis 230WD) than in Metal Fury (Sprial Fox TR145W2D) and the fact that he had used the arrange system only in Metal Masters.
He is one of the few bladers that has 3 beyblades through out the Metal Saga. Some include Gingka (Storm, Galaxy, and Cosmic), Ryuga (Lightning, Meteo, Destructor) and Toby ( Rock Aries 145WD, Twisted Tempo 145WD and Spiral Lyre ED145MF).
His hair also resembles Yu Tendo's hair.
Zeo was not Masamune's friend in Metal Masters.
In Metal Fury, Zeo hasn't fought one complete beybattle without tag-teaming with Toby .
