1A collaboration ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'' FanFiction by french tropers Tropers/KeitaroHirochi and Tropers/{{Wax}}.\
2\
3Beyblade has become a mainstream sport since the recent rise and reign of domination of Erik Bernstein. The story follows two beginners, Virgil and Mnemosyne, and their path to success. However, their debut in the World Tournament is marred in controversy, with the parts manufacturer Neoblade being suspected of underhandedly influencing events to some nefarious aims, especially when Virgil and Mnemosyne become the tournament's finalists despite being completely new to Beyblading. In light of those events, Moby, the World Beyblade Federation's chairman, has the finalists sorted into two teams: Unica and the Light Stones. Those teams' mission is to investigate tournaments for possible influences from Heinrich Häuser, Neoblade's CEO, and his partner in crime, Zin.\
4The arcs alternate in focus between the Light Stones and Unica, each arc focusing on one member of the team, as the teams are sent in their Bladers' home countries.
5----
6!Tropes that apply to the whole cast or to the series:
7* AdultsAreUseless: Most of the bladers are around 20 years old, so there's much less expectation for parental presence than in Beyblade animes. The only actual parent we see in the first season is Johann, Erik's AbusiveDad.
8* AerithAndBob: Most characters have normal names, even if uncommon for some cases. The Greek and Vaticanese teams, however, feature utter oddball names. [[spoiler:Moby forges identities for the Greek Team, who had the most peculiar names, just so they stand out less.]]
9** Exemplified by the two main characters: Mnemosyne and Virgil.
10%%* BattleTops: This is Beyblade.
11* BroughtDownToNormal / BroughtDownToBadass: Season 3 inflicts one of the two to '''EVERYONE except the new antagonists.''' [[spoiler:Neoblade material is banned from use, as part of the WBF's ban on all but the new WBF-sanctioned BF Blade parts. Most of the antagonists from Season 2 are the first (having trained to fight with the C-Square) but the main characters can still use their signature attacks, like Erik's ''Death Star'', making them the second.]]
12* DemotedToExtra:
13** Since Season 1 alternates focus between Unica and the Light Stones, the team not in focus at the moment is subjected to this.
14** Most of the characters introduced in Season 2 are subjected to this in Season 3, being reduced to a supporting role.
15* FollowTheLeader: The formulaic TournamentArc premise for Seasons 1 and 3 is copied from the original anime. Otherwise defied, as no anime further than the original series was taken into account.
16* GrandTheftPrototype: In episode 24, the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade raids a Neoblade lab, stealing Cells and Cores in the process.
17* HeroicBSOD: Each of the Light Stones and Unica, during their dedicated arc in Season 1, often starting with the ArcVillain's first appearance and ending just before the finals. The impact is varied in severity too, from Virgil nearly giving up on his life and Mnemosyne nearly running away and doing a FaceHeelTurn to Raimund having a conflict of interest between his desire to make up lost time with his friends and his job of beating them at the tournament and Vlad being slightly less responsive than usual and displeased with the WBF's communication policies. Erik is the exception, as his run with the trope starts with his loss to Mnemosyne and ends in Episode 18, when he starts working to figure out Virgil's Cell.
18* HourglassPlot: [[spoiler:Season 3 flips the morality of Season 2 after its last episode being a WhamEpisode. For Season 3, Heinrich and Zin are placed as mentor figures against the increasingly desperate WBF trying to get rid of Neoblade by all means.]]
19* {{Jobber}}: Many examples, from Qing Long early on to [[spoiler:the Neoblade teams in Season 3. A few do put up a fight, but are still victim to TheWorfEffect.]]
20* LoopholeAbuse: Defied. There's a rule saying that one can't attack the opposing Blader directly. A few characters ignore the rule and try, but the WBF punishes every such instance with a fine.
21** Exaggerated in Germany, where the Panzers attack each other, and are fined for it by the World Federation after the tournament anyway.
22* MeaningfulName: Too many to count.
23* MultinationalTeam: Unica and the Light Stones are made up of people with different nationalities, even though they are citizens of their respective countries from the moment they form the teams, thanks to Moby [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections pulling some strings]]. Non-national teams do have the liberty of having bladers from several countries, but this is mostly seen with the less important teams.
24* PowersInTheFirstEpisode: Virgil and Mnemosyne start the series with their respective GameBreaker. Played with in Virgil's case, as [[HowDoIShotWeb he does not know how to use his]].
25* RenegadeSplinterFaction: Neoblade can be taken as this to the WBF, given it's directed by Heinrich who used to work for the WBF 15 years ago. [[spoiler:Eventually subverted when Heinrich is revealed to not be the "terrorist" he was branded as and the WBF pulls a face-heel turn.]]
26* SeriousBusiness: Less so than the original series, but still:
27** The opening [[TournamentArc World Tournament]] stadium isn't full, but it's far from empty.
28** There is a Beyblade coaching school, meaning some people '''learn how to coach Beybladers'''.
29** WBF head Moby has a strong influence everywhere due to his Beyblade LivingLegend status. Similarly, Erik and Marco are renowned just like a well-known soccer player would be in RealLife.
30** The WBF has the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade, a private army to check up whatever disturbs Moby. While the sport does not seem serious here, it still earned Moby enough money to make it.
31** [[BigBadDuumvirate Heinrich and Zin]] create Beyblade technology which is able to create unlimited energy.
32* StealthPun: WBF heads Moby and Dick, most notably.
33* TheFellowshipHasEnded: At the end of Season 1, the Light Stones and Unica disband. Naturally, during Season 2, they reunite.
34----
35[[foldercontrol]]
36----
37!!New gear:
38!!!Neoblade:
39[[folder:'''Chip Cell''']]
40-> The accessories devised by Heinrich, those replace Bit Beasts by using the blader's energy to perform feats beyond what normal control chips allow.
41!!!Tropes that apply to the Chip Cells:
42* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome
43* AwesomeButImpractical: By comparison to the Core. It requires knowledge of it (or a lot of brute emotion) to activate plus it can cause blackouts from the wielder, but a Cell easily beats the Core in short-term power output.
44* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: What the Cell does is entirely dependent on the wielder.
45* MadeOfIndestructium: The Cell is shown several times to be much tougher than the rest of the blade. Though it's also not completely indestructible. [[spoiler:Bryan's blade exploding destroyed his Cell.]]
46* MagicFromTechnology: With enough energy, the Cell can make a blade fly, shoot fireballs, project mirror images, and other supernatural feats.
47* PowerStrainBlackout: The Cell's drawback is that it draws on the user's energy, and excessive use causes a blackout. Though this is also demonstrated earlier than the Cell, since Erik blacks out using normal control chips.
48* PsychoactivePowers
49* {{Technopath}}: Inverted: the bladers cannot interact with all technology, it's just that the Cell, like a control chip, reacts to brain waves.
50[[/folder]]
51[[folder:'''Centrum Core''']]
52-> [[MadScientist Zin]]'s creation, the Core multiplies the performance of a Beyblade, generating power from its rotation and resonating with the adrenaline of its user.
53!!!Tropes associated with the Centrum Core:
54* AmplifierArtifact: The basic utility of the Core. It powers up the blade constantly.
55* BoringButPractical: When compared to the Cells, the Cores' lack of flash is what comes to mind first. However, Core users do much better than Cell users early on, which is lampshaded as early as Episode 2.
56* BreakablePowerUp: Averted. Cores are [[MadeOfIndestructium a lot tougher than Beyblades]], and its effect only stops with its rotation.
57* PowerCrutch
58* PowerHigh: While little on its own, the Core does induce adrenaline rushes in its users to power itself up.
59* UpgradeArtifact: Subverted. While the Core gives bladers an easier time using special attacks, as demonstrated by the Norwegians, this is only due to the massive increase in performance it gives.
60[[/folder]]
61[[folder:'''The C-Square''']]
62-> The titular mechanic, [[SetBonus utilizing both Cell and Core]] to maximum effect: using the Cell to power up the Core, that naturally powers up the Cell.
63!!!Tropes that apply to the C-Square:
64* DrunkWithPower: A side-effect it had on its early users, due to the combination of Cell and Core being exponentially more powerful than even both on their own.
65* FlyingBrick: Evident result of pairing the [[AmplifierArtifact Core]] with the [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower Cell]].
66* PowerHigh: The Cell and Core, when powered up by each other, do not stop at taking feed from the C-Square user. The Core gives an adrenaline rush, and the Cell causes heightened brain activity and endorphin production. Both combined result in this trope.
67* SuperpowerMeltdown: Building up too much energy with the C-Square can cause a blade to blow up as it eventually becomes unable to hold it. [[spoiler:This is demonstrated by Bryan in the French Arc.]]
68* TitleDrop: The fiction is named after it.
69[[/folder]]
70[[folder:'''Double-Gear Launcher''']]
71--> As the name says, this brand-new Neoblade launcher uses a double-gear system, launching at incredible speed.
72!!!Tropes associated with the Double-Gear Launcher:
73* GameBreaker: Being so state-of-the-art, it's largely superior to the usual launchers. Compared to the Cell and the Core, the launcher remains relatively unnoticed and escapes the cheat-checks during the World Tournament.
74* SmallRoleBigImpact: Many attribute Erik's loss to Mnemosyne to the Core alone. The fact that the Core functions better when spinning means that Mnemosyne's blade rotation rate was the very reason the Core was this powerful.
75[[/folder]]
76!!!BF Blade: '''''Season 3 SPOILERS!!!'''''
77[[folder:[[spoiler:'''Power Ring''']]]]
78-> This new part introduced in Season 3 is a ring installed under the attack ring, and releases it on contact, or upon receiving feed from the control chip.
79!!!Tropes associated with the Ring:
80* BreakablePowerup: To a degree. A big enough shock can force the release of the energy stored in the Power Ring, but this merely forces an early release of the power rather than just cause it to be let out harmlessly.
81* ChargedAttack: The Ring passively charges a Beyblade's next attack. With enough energy built, it becomes possible to attack from a distance by expelling it raw.
82* MagikarpPower: To a degree, but it is powered up by spinning and charges power over the length of the game.
83* PureEnergy: Contrary to the Cell, it can only use this as a form of ranged attack.
84[[/folder]]
85[[folder:[[spoiler:'''Spin Drive''']]]]
86-> This new part introduced in Season 3 is an engine installed just atop the tip of the base, and boosts the spin of the blade upon hitting a certain spin rate. It is configurable before a match.
87!!!Tropes associated with the Drive:
88* ComebackMechanic: When set to Final Clutch, the Spin Drive kicks in when the blade reaches a low rotation speed. Middle Clutch Drives kick in sooner, but can also be this against First Clutch Drives.
89* CurbStompBattle: First Clutch Drives offer an advantage right at the start of a battle, and most users aim at one of these right off the bat.
90* SerialNumbersFiledOff: It is functionally identical the the Engine Gears of the original anime, except the release isn't dependent on the blade base, rather being dependent on its own motor and spin detector.
91[[/folder]]
92[[folder:[[spoiler:'''Shotgun Launcher''']]]]
93-> An electronics-based launcher that spins the blade so that the user just has to shoot it via the trigger. It uses string technology to light up the engine, which spins the blade faster than any regular launcher.
94!!!Tropes associated with the Shotgun Launcher:
95* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught: Moby and Dick did ban electronic launchers, but they easily come around their own rule and hide the nature of the launcher by repurposing the string. [[CrazyPrepared The inspections are rigged anyway, just in case.]]
96* StoryBreakerPower: With its guaranteed high-spin launches, this is the WBF's version of this trope.
97* UnderestimatingBadassery: The Power Ring and Spin Drive are seen as underpowered versions of the Cell and Core, but the Shotgun Launcher allows consistent perfect launches, meaning BF Blade outdid Neoblade at one thing. The WBF teams, just with this accessory, go FromNobodyToNightmare.
98[[/folder]]
99----
100!Tropes that apply to the characters:
101!!Introduced in Season 1:
102[[folder:''The Light Stones''\
103'''Team Liechtenstein''']]
104-> Composed after the world championship, the team was formed with the four semifinalists that Moby didn't select, with them being assigned Gerhard as a coach.
105!!Tropes applying to the team:
106* AntiHeroTeam: At the very beginning. Virgil is a ClassicalAntiHero, Erik is a SociopathicHero, Min is a KnightInSourArmor and a StepfordSmiler, and Vlad is [[GoodIsNotNice not nice]].
107* CombinationAttack: ''Super Nova'', a super-upgraded ''Death Star'' where Virgil, Vlad and Erik all team up to do the ''Death Star'', putting their energy into a single Blade, with all three of them feeding the same C-Square. It's by far the most powerful attack used at this point in the series, destroying the dish and causing damage to the stadium as well as knocking out all but one of the Bladers in the match, with the Light Stones relying on [[TheBigGuy Vlad]]'s physical sturdiness in order to win the match.
108* MultinationalTeam: Played with. The team is based in Liechtenstein, but only the coach Gerhard is native of that country. Everyone does become a citizen of Liechtenstein though, as part of the team formation.
109!!'''Virgil Smith [[spoiler:''(birth name Gaius Vergilius Octavianus)'']]'''
110-> TheHero. Born in an isolated community of Vatican, he was introduced to Beyblade via his [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday 18th birthday gift]]. [[spoiler:He evaded a forced marriage attempt by fleeing across the Swiss border.]] He ended up at the finals in the WBF Tournament, defeating [[AlwaysSecondBest eternal n°2 Marco]] in the way. Isolating himself from his teammates at the start, [[CharacterDevelopment he gets to open to others and radically change after his victory in Vatican]], becoming far more confident and open-minded, though he does have a brief curious and aggressive streak. Due to his [[{{Omniglot}} wide knowledge of languages]], he is [[TranslatorBuddy the only one able to talk to Mnemosyne (namely, in Ancient Greek)]].
111
112!!!Tropes that apply to Virgil:
113%%* AccidentalHero
114* ArcWords: For a while in the end and aftermath of the Vatican Arc, his are "I did it all myself.".
115* AudienceSurrogate: It's much easier to identify to him than to Mnemosyne.
116* AwesomenessByAnalysis: It takes him only five days to reach tournament-level ability, by watching Erik's matches.
117* BadassBookworm: Becomes this after he grows out of his turmoil.
118* CastingAShadow: His show element for a little time in the German Arc after abandoning his CreepyCrosses.
119* ClassicalAntiHero: Virgil starts out as a [[LoserProtagonist stiff, uninstinctual blader who's overly reliant on his Cell to win]] and has deep self-esteem issues. He grows out of it.
120* {{Determinator}}: He gave up his whole life to go to the World Tournament. [[spoiler:Also, his refusal to marry Iulia was the reason he wouldn't give up against her during their rematch.]]
121* DieOrFly: In the first World Tournament, Raimund and Marco's intimidating playstyles worked against them since they pressured Virgil into using the Cell, even without knowing it was there, popping up a ''Miracle Shot'' for the former, and a ''Death Star'' for the latter. Many weak but intimidating Bladers instantly lose to Virgil, simply because while he isn't under a real threat, he believes he is. Averted against Mnemosyne, whom he had just seen beating Erik's ''Death Star'', he thought [[SelfFulfillingProphecy he was helpless]].
122* [[DoNotCallMePaul Do Not Call Me Vergilius]]: During the Vatican Arc, as he became known as Virgil, and feels much more associated with this name. In the break before Season 2, he legally renames himself.
123* DontThinkFeel: This is Virgil's main weakness: he is genuinely great at theory but struggles in the heat of battle. He learns throughout Season 1.
124* FlatEarthAtheist: Inverted: Virgil vehemently refuses to acknowledge his Cell-induced victories were not miracles bestowed upon him by God until Episode 33, despite being proven wrong at least twice before that point.
125%%* TheHero
126* InstantExpert: Virgil learns Beyblade so fast, he gets through the World Tournament pools, his very first match, through theory alone, fits with pros within two months of that, and is a top contender just one year later.
127* LightEmUp: His theme at first. Even through his darker phases, he retains his ''[[DeusExMachina Miracle Shot]]'' attack (even though the name was coined by Marco).
128* MagicFeather: Inverted. He thought his beyblade was nothing special, but it was the Cell within it that granted him his ''Miracle Shots''.
129* MegaManning: He uses Erik's ''Death Star'' on the odd occasion.
130* {{Omniglot}}: He is able to speak Ancient Latin and Greek, Italian, Modern Greek, German, French, Spanish, and that's only the beginning. This is the reason he is the only person able to talk to Mnemosyne.
131* PaintItBlack: [[spoiler:Against Iulia. His visuals changed colors from white and gold to dark tones of gray with occasional white; and he changed his visual element from light to darkness. In Germany, he keeps the dark visuals until Erik works with the team.]]
132* ThePresentsWereNeverFromSanta: He spent arcs persuading himself that his Cell-powered Miracle Shots and numerous [[HeroicSecondWind comeback victories]] are miracles bestowed upon him by God. Learning the truth kind of breaks him.
133* ReadTheFreakingManual: In Episode 2, Heinrich remarks that Virgil is unable to use his Cell at will, but he can't figure out why. [[spoiler:It's because Appius took Heinrich's note for himself.]]
134* ScrewLearningIHavePhlebotinum: Averted. Though his arrival and sudden victories came out of the blue, Virgil is by far the most eager of the Light Stones to take lessons. [[JustifiedTrope He is a beginner after all.]]
135* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Money interests are his pet peeve. [[spoiler:His parents wanted him to get married to Iulia for his family to gain status and money. Iulia is 13 years his senior, and their relationship isn't a MayDecemberRomance. He doesn't want to be married, and one of his birthday gifts is the marriage contract. His way of responding to that was running away from his life with everything he still had: the Beyblade that was his other birthday gift.]]
136* SignatureMove: Associated with the ''Miracle Shot'' attack, the short-ranged PureEnergy blast he used against Raimund. Even though it was never used willingly until the German tournament.
137* SoWhatDoWeDoNow: [[spoiler:Has a brief loss of identity after defeating Iulia, because the only thing that makes him who he is is that he's a member of the Light Stones. Running with it caused him to open up and actually befriend the team in a comparatively extroverted phase.]]
138* SuperLoser: Early on. He is a rather weak Blader except for his [[DieOrFly fear-enabled]] Cell [[DeusExMachina match steals]]. Every time he feels strong, he ironically becomes weaker because he refuses to acknowledge his Cell. In China and Russia, he keeps getting put on the ropes by (or even losing to) weaker opponents. He fully grows out of this by end of the Vatican arc.
139* VictoryByEndurance: While his first blade was a combat build, Virgil has a preference for stamina builds. On Gerhard's recommendation, after his first beyblade is destroyed, Virgil switches to a stamina style.
140!!'''Erik Bernstein'''
141-> [[WorldsStrongestMan The current best Beyblader in the world.]] [[TheAce A prodigious 22-year-old blader with unrivaled fame and talent]], [[BrokenAce and a sad]] [[TrainingFromHell justification for those]]. The inventor and pioneer of special attacks in Beyblade. Largely apathetic to the rest of the team at the beginning, but once he comes to terms with his loss, he becomes a CynicalMentor AloofAlly to his teammates.
142!!!Tropes associated with Erik:
143* AbusiveParents: His father put him through [[TrainingFromHell very intense training]] starting at age 6, to the point he ran away 10 years later. Then he was scouted by the WBF and trained by Dick, who served as a surrogate parental figure and was arguably worse. Johann's abusive behaviour returns in Germany, where he tries to get Erik shaken by picking at his nerves.
144* TheAce: Erik is the undefeated number 1 at Beyblading. He made the sport more entertaining than Moby ever hoped to, and he's better than almost everyone in every aspect of the game. He uses a balanced blade with no clear weakness. He decimated entire crowds by using ''Triangle Assault'' (a very fast triple dash), then invented the ''Death Star'' (that's 6 {{Flash Step}}s with one circling around the entire arena), and he was able to use it without Heinrich's Cell. Everyone who ever beat him had an advantage of some sorts: be it technological (Mnemosyne), mental (Jun) or tactical (Marco).
145** BrokenAce: Between Johann's harsh training sessions that are borderline child abuse, to his lack of social life, to Dick's own attempt at sabotaging his character and career, Erik's childhood isn't an enviable one. Behind the façade of the World Champion lies an immature kid with a major InferioritySuperiorityComplex.
146* AwesomeButImpractical: The ''Death Star''. It's an incredibly-fast, far-reaching, instant [[OneHitKill match-winner]] [[TotalPartyKill no matter how many bladers Erik is against]]. Though, using it takes a toll on him, and there are some blind spots that small blades could exploit if they could see it coming. Most gimmick stadiums even disable his use of the attack entirely.
147* ChallengeSeeker: In the World Cup, it is all but said he tried to train [[AlwaysSecondBest Marco]] the hard way, because he thought he had found [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the one who would come to defeat him]]. Then Mnemosyne showed up and beat him without even him posing much of a challenge, and he almost stopped Beyblading forever.
148* CharacterDevelopment: Erik is the only one to get two rounds of it.
149** After his issues are forced to the front by his first loss, he has to learn to cope with defeat and learn some social skills.
150** And in Germany, he gets his second round, with him outgrowing his {{Jerkass}} behaviour, becoming a team player, and avoiding engaging in junk-measuring contests with the villains.
151* DeathOrGloryAttack: The ''Death Star'' is extremely powerful, but also extremely taxing to use: the strain it takes on Erik makes him unable to use it twice within a day without becoming tired. Dick supposes that's why Mnemosyne actually survived it: her blade was spinning at least twice as fast as his, allowing her to tank it. The second ''Death Star'' in a row.
152* GenerationXerox: Averted. While he was raised and trained by Johann, [[SubvertedTrope those who expected him to be a second-rate blader like Johann were surprised when Erik came out better than Dick, who had never lost to Johann.]]
153* GoMadFromTheIsolation: He was trained under Johann and Dick, with both training regimens being abusive to some degree. Added with the absence of social life and the pressure from expectations, Erik is more winning machine than human, which is why he takes losing so badly.
154* HardWorkHardlyWorks: His belief after being defeated easily by Mnemosyne. She was a newbie, and he had trained since his youngest days. [[spoiler:He lampshades the trope when he finds out that he effectively got beat by a baby-aged girl.]]
155* HatesSmallTalk: At the start. Through his friendship with Marco, he learns to fool around sometimes.
156* HeterosexualLifePartners: Eventually, with Marco. They can be thousands of kilometers apart, but only a HeroicBSOD can keep them away from chatting with each other, be it by phone or anything. Even though Erik only really opened up after his defeat to Mnemosyne on the grounds that they both were cheated out of winning the tournament.
157* IneffectualLoner: Whenever he goes it alone, it goes wrong in some form. He's so poor a team blader that it causes problems in Germany, the first arc in which he doesn't serve as the replacement Blader by his own insistence.
158* {{Irony}}: The team's Balance blader is anything but balanced as a person.
159* IrrationalHatred: His callousness towards Virgil and Mnemosyne for allegedly cheating him out of the world tournament is insane early on. It's exacerbated by his theory that Dick is enabling them solely to push Erik out of the spotlight out of pure jealousy. He gets chewed out appropriately for his behavior.
160* {{Jerkass}}: His antisocial behavior directly causes Siegfried's FaceHeelTurn and Gretchen's VillainousBreakdown at least. He treats Marco as his OnlyFriend, and exempts him from this treatment.
161** JerkassToOne: Even after Season 1, he is still an asshole... to Dick, who is a cause of his social issues and a nuisance to the team.
162* LargeHam: When using his ''Death Star'' attack and any upgrades of it doesn't tire him out or injure him, he calls them out loud.
163* LonelyAtTheTop: Erik has no social life and is the n°1 Beyblader.
164* LonersAreFreaks: A core aspect of his character, at least earlier on. Erik's absence of social life, with the abuse taken in training and pressure from expectations has turned Erik off-kilter if not insane. His friendship with Marco and later the Light Stones fixes that.
165* MegaManning: While generally a target, he uses Marco's ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'' against Mnemosyne in a one-off training match in Episode 18.
166* MookHorrorShow: In his pool at the first WBF Tournament Arc, he hit '''30 blades out of the arena in one shot''' with the ''Death Star''. And in Episode 1, in the first Beyblade match on-screen, he takes on 100 beybladers by himself and wins. [[spoiler:The trope gets turned on its head when the fight itself is actually studied - several of the top Bladers were not here and multiple others threw the fight, were severely held back by the crowd, or were targeted by Erik from the get-go.]]
167* OnlyInItForTheMoney: How he was first persuaded to join the Light Stones.
168* PragmaticHero
169* TheRival: He's really fixated on Marco, even though until the plot starts he's [[PrivilegedRival by far Marco's superior]]. Even though he bonded with Marco for all the [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou wrong]] [[RageQuit reasons]], their friendship was the best thing that happened to him.
170** RivalsTeamUp: [[spoiler:When 2v2 Beyblade starts, Erik seeks out Marco, not the Light Stones.]]
171* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: He could've been even more of a terror than he already is, were he trained to take on one opponent at a time instead of designing all his special attacks to take out several opponents at once, which in a one-on-one battle makes his attacks very much flailing around until one part of the attack connects. While ''Death Star'' still hits and usually for the win, it eats his energy like popcorn, with three in a day making him faint.
172* SignatureMove: Despite his first attack being ''Triangle Assault'', Erik is more frequently associated with his far more impactful ''Death Star''.
173* SoreLoser: Erik is generally a poor sportsman, but it is demonstrated when he loses. He refuses to shake Ryunosuke's hand because Ryunosuke took a round off of him and forced him to use a ''Death Star'' to beat him. His first match loss, to Mnemosyne, makes him nearly RageQuit the premises.
174* TeethClenchedTeamwork: After he accepts that he's a member of the team. [[spoiler:He gets better when his team gets him out of acting as bad as the Panzers in Germany.]]
175!!'''Min Guo'''
176-> A 20-year-old Chinese girl. Though she looks like she's [[TheDitz the stupid member of the team]], she was a high rank blader in her own right and a surprisingly reliable contestant. She entered the world tournament after having been expelled from the Forbidden City Clan, but was eventually defeated by Marco. The fight she put up against him made her a nice choice to fill the Light Stones. Less showy than the rest of the team, but that's because she is a Defense blader.
177!!!Tropes that apply to Min:
178* ActionFashionista: Changes outfits almost [[UnlimitedWardrobe once each match]].
179* BadassAdorable: She is the first one to pose an obstacle to Marco in the first TournamentArc.
180* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Jin's Cain.
181%%* CaptainEthnic: The only non-European member of the team.
182%%* CheerfulChild: Her facade early on.
183* ConfusionFu: The cornerstone of her offense is just being unexpected due to being a defense build and catching the opponent off-guard.
184* CoolBigSis: For Virgil, once she's done with her own problems until he gets over his own.
185* DarkMagicalGirl: She begins [[StepfordSmiler behaving like one]], and even pulls out the look once. She only gets a Cell (and thus any of her "magic") once she's done with her problems, though.
186* DissonantSerenity: She hides her issues and her depression well, but it gets more obvious with time. [[spoiler:None of her teammates moves a finger, and even Gerhard, despite trying, doesn't manage to get through to her: it's [[FriendlyEnemy Jun]] who reassures her.]]
187* DrunkenMaster: Sometimes Beyblades while not sober. It earns her a compliment from the Supa Hot Fighters, but it doesn't work out against Lan, as Min's spirit is down in the dumps during that match, leaving her unable to work as that.
188* HomeRunHitter: Her contact ring, outside of defense, is geared towards ringing out the opponent.
189* MaskOfSanity: In China, it's excessively clear that she puts on a face. The first crack shows when she herself notices she's out of her wits in her match against [[{{Jobber}} O'Bey]].
190* MegaManning: She incorporates Ryunosuke's ''gattai'' strike into her arsenal pretty early on, and in general is pretty good at doing that on an opponent. She even mimics the ''Basara KO''.
191** Before that, it is turned against her: while not thinking straight, she mimicked the ''[[UselessUsefulSpell Bruce Liu Kick]]'', an attack that exposes her to a OneHitKill.
192* ObfuscatingStupidity: She fakes being a CloudCuckooLander. The Forbidden City Clan doesn't buy it. In Season 2, the rogue attacks don't let her play this game, and in Season 3, she doesn't try because she knows she isn't going to fool anyone anymore.
193* OlderThanTheyLook: A mild example. She's small because she's an Asian girl, so she looks like she's the youngest, but she's two years Virgil's senior.
194* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Her issues in China are made obvious when she doesn't do any of her whimsy playstyle-switching antics, shutting down into her base defense game for her matches against O'Bey and Bruce. She recognizes this during her match against Lan, but, due to not thinking straight, starts making stupid moves.
195* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: It's evident she's not TheHeart when she starts out unable to form bonds with her team.
196* {{Troll}}: She looks like this during a portion of the World Tournament, since her blade is a defensive build and she keeps her entire offense under wraps. She more or less voluntarily delayed the end to the pool stage of the WBF tournament and caused [[EarlyBirdCameo Flavia's]] RageQuit, all because she felt the competition didn't warrant the effort.
197* WillfullyWeak: In the early parts of the World Tournament, she holds back and keeps to defense until the opponent proves threatening [[InstantWinCondition or has greater stamina]].
198!!'''Vladimir "Vlad" Kowalsky'''
199-> A no-nonsense 24-year-old [[HuskyRusskie Russian]] soldier-like blader. His straight-to-the-point personality contrasts with his teammates'. He provides needed consistency to the team.
200!!!Tropes that apply to Vlad:
201* AntiMagic: What he does most with his Cell is protect his blade from an enemy Cell's energy attacks.
202* AttackAttackAttack: Vlad's strategy is in the vein of Marco's, all-out attack and put the opponent under pressure with no chance to think.
203* BadassNormal: Even with the Cell, Vlad uses very little flash, preferring by far ramming the opponent as fast as possible.
204* TheBigGuy: Early on, he was TheLancer because Erik just didn't care. When Erik finally took his responsibilities, Vlad was content with just being his team's beat-stick.
205* BoringButPractical: His Beyblading style is simply AttackAttackAttack. He generally doesn't espouse special attacks. It works very well for him, as he has the best win rate of the Light Stones during the entire Season 1. Zin even ranks him World's third-best blader no later than the Asian arc, and Vlad goes on to justify this ranking.
206* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:When Alyona uses her Cell against him, he asks to borrow Virgil's Cell and use it against her, going as far as breaking character to do so.]]
207* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Vlad's winning streak is lampshaded in Germany, with him "not having a single clean tournament loss" since his loss in the World Cup, itself tainted by the cheating accusations on her, and his loss to Lev was because Lev had a Cell while Vlad didn't. His only clean loss is to Jin, and the Chinese tournament did not make the WBF records, as China was not part of the WBF.
208* GlassCannon: Vlad is the attack build of the Light Stones, and his build, unlike the rest of the team's, is very specialized.
209* HuskyRusskie: Though he's more stoic than dumb.
210* KnuckleCracking: Frequently.
211* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Subverted against Alyona. She tried to injure him by attacking his blade full-power with her Cell post-knockout, shooting it straight to his knee. Vlad's blade came out unscathed, and him too since the blade hit his kneeguard.]]
212* MoreDakka: What he does when he does engage in ranged attack.
213* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: He's clearly patriotic and likes his country, even though he ran away from his training center and became a Liechtenstein citizen. It's made clear in the Russian arc that he only stays in Liechtenstein or Switzerland during breaks because he is forced to.
214* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: How he manipulated Virgil into lending him his Cell. Virgil falls for his "I want to believe" speech, but everyone else can see this is just a means to get his hands on the Cell. Vlad admits this to Virgil's face later on, though Virgil denies that.
215* TheQuietOne
216* PerpetualFrowner: He never smiles if unless in the presence of [[OnlyFriend Raimund]]. And [[FaceOfAThug he looks angrier than he is]].
217* TheReliableOne: He provides the Light Stones with a much needed consistent winner.
218* RousingSpeech: [[spoiler:In one of Vlad's rare encouraging moments, he actually goes to Virgil after his match against Iulia, and sparks his slow return to normal with his usual humor. "In Soviet Russia, God believes in you!".]]
219* RussianReversal: His only tone of humor is pulling that off. He also has a fondness for subverting the trope.
220* TheStoic: So stoic, he remains composed even through his HeroicBSOD. His self-control is unrivaled in the series, and even the aforementioned HeroicBSOD is only spotted by Gerhard, and Vlad keeps it entirely in check.
221* TrainingFromHell: He puts himself through intense physical training when given the tools to do so.
222!!Coach '''Gerhard Häuser'''
223-> The coach of the team. Despite being 34, he still chooses to act more like a BigBrotherMentor to his trainees. Works the same for Team Liechtenstein. [[spoiler:He leads them all the way and does not join Paul in infiltrating the WBF during Season 3.]]
224!!!Tropes that apply to Gerhard:
225* BrilliantButLazy: Subverted. He does look lazy, but this is just a matter of attitude.
226* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He leads his team to a success [[spoiler:in Vatican]] by disobeying [[BigGood Moby and Dick]]'s orders.
227* EccentricMentor: He clowns around a lot, so nobody takes him seriously. Nonetheless, he is very perspicacious and aware of people around himself.
228* HappilyMarried: With coach-in-training Sara.
229* OlderAndWiser: Few notice it, though. Erik even labels him a freak during almost all of Season 1.
230* PsychologistTeacher
231* TeamDad: Makes efforts to become one, and those are recognized and pay off early, except in the case of [[{{Jerkass}} Erik]].
232* TrashOfTheTitans: What his room looks like, to compare with the organized and tidy [[{{Foil}} Paul]].
233[[/folder]]
234
235[[folder:''Unica''\
236'''Team Monaco''']]
237-> One of TheHero teams. It gets formed after [[BigGood Moby]]'s [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections relations]] have four of the quarter-finalists adopt Monaco's nationality, allowing them to basically represent him around the world.
238!Tropes that apply to the team:
239* MultinationalTeam: They're all officially from Monaco thanks to Moby, but the team contains a Greek girl, and guys who are respectively Norwegian, French and Japanese.
240!!'''Mnemosyne[[spoiler: (Season 2 name: Zoe Kallis)]]'''
241--> "I don't even know why I am here. I feel... lost. Out of place."
242---> Mnemosyne, to [[TranslatorBuddy Virgil]]
243-> The heroine of the series. Originally dropped by [[BigBad Zin]] on top of a flat with Neoblade's highly-advanced technology to see how it stands, she ended up (still thanks to Zin) easily winning the incoming World Championship, even defeating [[TheAce Erik, the current undefeatable world champion]], without much effort. The formation of Team Monaco by [[BigGood Moby]] ruins Zin's plans for her as she's forced into different tournaments. Her main problems are the language barrier with the rest of her team, her mechanical behavior, and later her discovery of her link with Zin.
244!!!Tropes associated with Mnemosyne:
245* {{Amnesiac Hero}}ine
246** AmnesiacsAreInnocent
247** [[YouWakeUpInARoom You Wake Up On A Flat Roof]]: Her introduction.
248* AttackReflector: From Season 2.
249* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Zin left her as a BlankSlate, but also a very fast learner. Almost every time she loses, she instantly picks up why and acts accordingly. It shows when she TookALevelInBadass to end the Ancient Europe Arc, and when she learns to speak English very fast before Season 2.
250* BadassAdorable
251* BewareTheQuietOnes
252* ClassicalAntiHero: At the beginning, she's more of a PlotDevice than an actual protagonist.
253* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Silver hair, silver eyes.
254* CuteMute: Not actually mute, but [[TheQuietOne quiet]] and unable to get herself understood or to understand others. It is fixed when Moby (with the help of Virgil) puts her through English class from late Season 1 to the beginning of Season 2.
255* FlashbackNightmare: Gets some of these during the Greek Arc.
256* FragileSpeedster: Her Beyblade build is an all-around build with a mild bend towards this.
257* HatesBeingTouched
258* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Occasionally, due to her [[NoNudityTaboo lack of social consciousness]].
259* LoserProtagonist: Mnemosyne rarely plays official matches from her World Championship victory to the end of the Greek Arc. Her only victories are due to the Norway Tournament's 2v2 format forcing her to be fielded (and Paul has Marco destroy the opposition by himself for the most part). [[spoiler:Then, at the beginning of Season 2, the guy who defeats her isn't the team leader, he's the weakest.]]
260* MysteriousWaif: We start with no knowledge of her backstory, only learning about her as the plot progresses.
261* NoSocialSkills
262* ParentalAbandonment: Involuntarily. Zin, her father figure, can't get her back to him no matter how much he tries.
263* PowerCopying: Before getting the Cell, she gets by with this as her only actual offense.
264* TheQuietOne: Even to [[TranslatorBuddy Virgil]], she doesn't talk much.
265* [[spoiler:ReallyWasBornYesterday: As revealed in Greece, she was a few days old at the beginning of the story.]]
266* TheSilentBob: For the words she doesn't speak, she communicates well with her body.
267* SociallyAwkwardHero
268* TheStoic: She's the center of all kinds of unwanted attention in Season 1 and she understands most of it is negative, but she is never truly fazed.
269* WhenSheSmiles: It only happens in the presence of Virgil.
270!!'''Marc "Marco" Lefèbre'''
271--> "Why do I keep training? I have yet to beat [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou Erik]], and if I'm ever gonna be the best, I have to beat him. It's that simple."
272---> Marco, to Ryunosuke, before running through Japanese mountains at night.
273->[[AlwaysSecondBest World's eternal n°2]] and unlikely friend of [[TheAce Erik]], Marco enters the tournament to finally beat him after taking a year off to train. Gets eventually beaten by Virgil, despite the fact that even Erik recognized Marco's massive improvement. His defining trait is his HotBlooded cheerful disposition and his showmanship, which makes him extremely popular.
274!!!Tropes associated with Marco:
275* AlwaysSecondBest / AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Erik is always better than him in the rankings, and Marco never beats him 1-on-1.
276* AttackAttackAttack: His basic "strategy" is going straight on the offensive with his strong and fast Beyblade, and leave the opponent with as little breathing room as possible.
277* BadassNormal: Marco is the only consistent challenger to Erik before the plot starts. After training alone for a single year, he rivaled Erik's childhood TrainingFromHell. Besides Erik, he was the only one to perform a FlashStep OneHitKill special attack (the ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'' in his case) without Heinrich's Cell.
278* BigBrotherInstinct: Of the three male members of Unica, he is closest, most protective of Mnemosyne.
279* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair, brown eyes.
280* {{Foil}}: He contrasts with Mnemosyne in many ways, and the two are the main focus of Unica chapters.
281* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. He puts himself through intense physical training, and while he is AlwaysSecondBest to Erik, he makes short work of the vast majority of his opponents in often [[CurbStompBattle very short matches]].
282* HeyYouHaymaker: Gives one to one of Zin's employees that was tracking Mnemosyne in Japan.
283* ImprovisedTraining: Put himself through one before the plot that could almost qualify as TrainingFromHell. [[spoiler:In Japan, he runs through the mountains. In Norway, he climbs to the top of a small mountain. In Greece, he makes a round-trip across a river. He doesn't do anything in France, and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness everyone knows there's a problem]].]]
284* LargeHam
285* LightningBruiser: His Beyblade is a very fast attack build. It loses spin rather quickly though.
286* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He cleans up his pools in the World Tournament faster than Erik, who is shown decimating his own pool and finishing it with a ''Death Star''.
287* PopularityPower: The crowd reactions he gets and his impressive physique tend to intimidate his opponents.
288* RideTheLightning: When he gets the Cell, the lightning speed of the ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'' gets literal.
289* SignatureMove: His ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'', essentially a FlashStep into the opponent.
290!!'''Ryunosuke Fudo'''
291--> "What I intend to do now... Have fun watching the matches and see what happens, I suppose. That's the most we can make of our time here, isn't it?"
292---> Ryunosuke, to Min, before the World Tournament semi-finals.
293-> Coming from Japan to make a surprise rise in the ranks after being one of the 100 bladers defeated by Erik, his plans end up completely spoiled by his close defeat at the hands of Vlad. Often benefits from surprise effects for being fairly normal compared to the other two juggernauts or the controversial Mnemosyne, and proves himself an excellent all-around beyblader.
294!!!Tropes associated with Ryunosuke:
295* AnimalMotifs: Dragons. [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine Golden]] [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]].
296* AwesomeButImpractical: He notes that while he is able to make his Beyblade jump, he does it rarely because the precision needed for diving or jumping attacks makes it difficult and risky.
297* DeathFromAbove: The mark of his skill, Ryunosuke is the local ''gattai'' expert. He starts the series with GoombaStomp as his SignatureMove and with the C-Square, turns it into meteor falls.
298* JackOfAllTrades: With a mild bend towards [[VictoryByEndurance Stamina]].
299* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He's the sensitive guy to either Marco or Raimund's manly man.
300* TheSmartGuy: Occasionally. He's the most composed blader of the team.
301* {{Shoryuken}}: His second most favourite attack.
302* WeakButSkilled: In comparison to the rest of Unica, who usually dominate combat, Ryunosuke often has to outmaneuver his opponents. He is still skilled enough to gattai Erik.
303
304!!'''Raimund Gundersen'''
305--> "Here in Monaco, blades block the rivers. [[RussianReversal In Soviet Russia, the rivers block blades...]] [[BadassBoast but not mine!]]"
306---> Raimund, while having a match with Marco in Monaco.
307-> A former Top 10 beyblader, coming back from a two-year break in Russia. He hopes to regain his rank, but faces future finalist Virgil during the quarter-finals. A solid teammate that is a juggernaut to most opponents.
308!!!Tropes associated with Raimund:
309* AnIcePerson: With the Cell, he represents his unbreakable defense with ice.
310* GracefulLoser: He admits his defeat to Virgil, complimenting his good defensive work despite the suspicious circumstances.
311* HeroicBuild: It's [[MusclesAreMeaningless useless]] because it's Beyblade, but it's there.
312* IcyBlueEyes
313* TheJuggernaut: His Beyblade dominated the competition in the first World Tournament.
314* MightyGlacier
315* MrFanservice: A muscular, towering {{Hunk}} with a tight-fitting [[SleevesAreForWimps sleeveless top]] to show off his muscles.
316* RussianReversal: When he's joking around with Vlad, both will use those whenever they can.
317!!Coach '''Paul Goupil'''
318--> "We have a free week, so you have the day off while I take care of paperwork. Do what you want, but keep eyes on [Mnemosyne], ok?"
319---> Paul, to the team, at the beginning of the Asian Arc.
320-> Hand-picked out of the coaching school prematurely by Moby to be the coach of Unica at only 25, Paul spends most of his time on his computer trying to figure out the mysteries of Mnemosyne and her Beyblade. Despite his reserved attitude, he grows friendly very fast to the rest of the team, since they're all responsible enough to take care of Mnemosyne.
321!!!Tropes associated with Coach Paul:
322* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He catches on quickly to beybladers' styles and habits in the stadium. He also figures out something's up in Episode 18 almost before Erik even uses the ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'', and from getting the Cell figured out, he soon identifies the Core.
323* CoolTeacher: Paul works more like [[TeamDad an older brother to the team]] than an actual coach during training hours.
324* ImprobableAge: At 25 years old, he is the youngest coach to come out of the WBF's coaching school.
325* ImprovisedTraining: Pulls this off sometimes, usually early in each arc.
326* LivingWithTheVillain[[spoiler:: In his hopes to get closer to help Moby, Paul invokes this trope and becomes a [[TheMole mole]] by coming back to the WBF for Season 3.]]
327* OfficialCouple: With Maria[[spoiler:, whom he sends himself to coach Unica in his stead for Season 3]].
328* {{Workaholic}}: It's VERY difficult to get him off his work.
329[[/folder]]
330
331[[folder:'''WBF''']]
332!!'''Tobias "Moby" Livaudais''' and '''Dick Kreitzer'''
333-> The highest ranking officers in the World Beyblade Federation.\
334Moby is a LivingLegend due to his unequaled undefeated streak. Bored of the uninteresting matches, he trained his faithful follower, then-newcomer Dick and became chairman of the WBF, promoting Beyblade around the world. Dick went on to have an unchallenged n°1 place for the entirety of his career, following in Moby's footsteps.\
335Following the rise of Neoblade, Moby created the World Beyblade Federation Enforcement Brigade to defend against terrorism and industrial espionage, and got it directed by Dick, who grew more accustomed to weapons than to Beyblades.
336!!!Tropes associated with both:
337* ArmiesAreEvil: The World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade is led by Moby and spearheaded by Dick, and each intervention is treated as [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill an abuse of power]] by anyone but Moby and Dick themselves. [[spoiler:It foreshadows Moby and Dick's eventual heel turn.]]
338* BigGood: Moby is the figure who founded Unica and the Light Stones, and Dick is his direct subordinate, tasked with management of the Light Stones. [[spoiler:Eventually, they become the villains in Season 3.]]
339* [[CantCatchUp Can't Catch Back Up]]: [[spoiler:When Moby plans to take on Zin and Heinrich in a Beybattle and trains with Dick, he barely even can control his blade correctly due to being inept at using the current day's control cells. Even Dick, who realized his own horrid performance, defeated Moby with ease.]]
340* [[spoiler:DrivenToSuicide: Their ultimate fate.]]
341** [[spoiler:Moby, after having a HeelRealization about how the world is moving on without him, [[DestinationDefenestration jumps out the window of his office]].]]
342** [[spoiler:Dick, stuck in fanatical despair upon seeing Moby died, and refusing to get caught, [[BoomHeadshot shoots himself in the temple]].]]
343* HeWhoFightsMonsters: They're [[KnightTemplar so intent on getting Heinrich and Zin out of the Beyblade scene]] that they command military operations for it. [[spoiler:They go fully insane in the final part.]]
344* InsaneEqualsViolent: Dick is a Moby fanatic and shoots before asking questions. [[spoiler:Completely averted in Moby's case, as even at his worst, he never even considers the use of direct violence.]]
345* JerkassToOne: They don't like Neoblade at all.
346!!!Tropes associated with Moby:
347* CoolOldGuy[[spoiler:: He seems like it, but he quickly fades away into cameo status and he's unseen through Season 2. Season 3 shows what he has turned into.]]
348* [[spoiler:InsaneTrollLogic: Early in Season 3, Moby thinks that beating Heinrich and Zin in a beybattle would put them out of business. [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame He did intend to put his own business on the line too, but that's still pretty ridiculous.]]]]
349* LivingLegend: Moby went through his 25-year career undefeated, and then went on to train Dick, who would also come out undisputed n°1 through his own 20-year career.
350* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Moby regularly makes decisions that hinder Unica or the Light Stones more than anything else.
351* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Moby is so influential by his status in the Beyblade industry that he can do whatever he wants, even outside of the arenas. Like putting together a military force under his orders. [[spoiler:He bans Neoblade material from use in his last tournament, menacing to put them instantly out of business, and never faces consequences for that move.]]
352!!!Tropes associated with Dick:
353* ADickInName: Dick is C-Square's worst {{Jerkass}}, and means immediate trouble whenever he shows up.
354* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:During the ending, as Moby's legendary legacy would cause dangerous backlash for Beyblade, Dick is portrayed as this.]]
355* GeneralRipper
356* GoodIsNotNice: Dick has been a horrible tutor for Erik. Even in-universe, it's widely believed that he was ''worse than [[AbusiveParents Johann]]''. [[spoiler:Then Season 3 shows Dick was never quite good.]]
357* GreenEyedMonster: Dick hated the idea that Erik's record could be superior to his own. Add the fact that Erik aimed at beating Moby's own record, and Dick decided to put more hell in his TrainingFromHell.
358* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Dick is an extremely dedicated Moby fanatic. He never questions Moby's orders, and does everything he does in Moby's name. Sometimes he ends up [[WithFriendsLikeThese being a burden]], but one Moby is fine with keeping.
359* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Dick gets away with everything he does because he is Moby's disciple, and noone dares to challenge him.
360[[/folder]]
361
362[[folder:'''Individual Antagonists''']]
363!!'''Heinrich Häuser''' and '''Zinedine "Zin" Rainier'''
364-->'''Heinrich''': "The Cell still hasn't shown one sign of activity... What's with the subject?"\
365'''Zin''': "The Core worked fine, so I guess I win. Prepare the money for my next bill."
366---> - Heinrich and Zin discussing their creations during the World Tour arc.
367-> '''Heinrich:''' Formerly an extremely zealous developer of Beyblade-related technology, he was fired from the WBF because of his research that would have made Beyblade far too dangerous. Not deterred by this in the least, he founded Neoblade, an enterprise that sells Beyblade material. His experiments that were infamous before were conducted behind everyone's back, as he still strove to make Beyblade an entertaining sport. He created the Cells, and takes several aspects through the plot, since his head is wanted by Moby.
368-> '''Zin:''' A MadScientist, specialized in [[LegoGenetics genetics]]. He's Mnemosyne's father figure, and the man behind her appearance and victory at the first World Championship, having given her the Core that put her Beyblade's power over Erik's. Working in secret for Neoblade, he provides Heinrich everything he needs and lives out of this work. Mostly seen behind the scenes, he tries to get Mnemosyne back.
369!!!Tropes associated with Heinrich and Zin:
370* [[spoiler:AffablyEvil: They are occasionally seen onscreen in Season 1, and appear to be decent people despite their schemes. In the last episode of Season 2, it's revealed they weren't quite this, as the heroes' HeelRealization turns them both face.]]
371* [[NonActionBigBad Non-Action]] BigBadDuumvirate: Heinrich and Zin have incredible [[VillainousValor talents]] and [[VillainousFriendship personal chemistry]], keeping each other out of reach of authorities for years. And even when they were sent to jail, they managed to evade, all while never seeing physical action of any kind themselves.
372** RedOniBlueOni: Heinrich is the Red Oni to Zin's Blue.
373* EvenEvilHasStandards: They have to be pushed very far by the WBF to entrust Calixte and Soma a pair of handguns for the former and a pair of gatling guns for the latter. And they did so only to stall for time. Also, [[ThouShaltNotKill no casualties]].
374* HijackedByGanon: Season 2. Soma and Calixte are pictured to be the two {{Big Bad}}s leading the teams that rampage on the WBF teams around the world. Then it's figured Heinrich and Zin are [[TheManBehindTheMan behind them]], though leading them from a distance most of the time.
375* ImprobableAge: Heinrich's 38, but his most infamous deeds date from his time as an engineer in the WBF at age 23.\
376Zin also went from grieving father and husband at 22 to [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate doctorate]] genetics expert at 24.
377* LastVillainStand: [[spoiler:The end of Season 2.]]
378* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler:The discovery of this starts Season 3.]]
379* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Subverted: they're only ''made up'' to be politically incorrect by the WBF.
380* ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:Averted. In the ending, they show immediate proof of their genuine intent to be accepted back into society. Despite volunteering to be sent back to jail, they are cleared by court when it's recognized most of their actions were forced by the WBF's own crimes.]]
381* ScrewYourUltimatum: [[spoiler:When the WBF has caught up to the fact their evasion is true, and the WBF's national teams are getting their asses kicked and their beyblades either stolen or destroyed, they gang up on the Neoblade teams by engaging in the same tactics, but taking them on 8-on-5. Once Heinrich and Zin are the only ones left, cornered in their base, Dick sends out an ultimatum to Heinrich and asks him to surrender, threatening him with a military attack if he doesn't. Heinrich and Zin took a third option and had Soma and Calixte go against the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade, while Heinrich himself invited the Light Stones and Unica to his lab.]]
382* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Averted: Both of them are so wanted that despite Zin's relatively normal appearance, anybody in the WBF could recognize him. Heinrich gets around it by getting genetically modified by Zin thrice throughout the series.
383* VillainousFriendship: Despite being [[{{Expy}} A CHAR]], Heinrich never betrays Zin, and Zin's loyalty is never a question.
384* VisionaryVillain: Heinrich's goal is to make Beyblade much more flashy and sport-like, and to this end he created the local AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome.\
385Zin, aside from his will to bring back his daughter to life, wants to push the limits of humanity. He ends up creating the local AmplifierArtifact after years of work with Neoblade.\
386Merit goes to them for creating motors of infinite energy that fits in a pocket, and [[EvenEvilHasStandards refusing to weaponize it, even when their enemies start doing it]].
387!!!Tropes associated with Heinrich:
388* BitchInSheepsClothing: He uses his Neoblade company to hide his absurd and dangerous Beyblade designs. [[spoiler:Although based on reality, this turns out to be a wild exaggeration by the WBF.]]
389* {{Expy}}: Of Char Aznable.
390** CoolMask: Heinrich is pretending to have undergone massive facial surgery as a pretext to wear it and hide his face during Season 1.
391** CoolPlane: He has a golden ''flying lab'' the shape of a bomber plane (and has made Zin an exact replica). [[spoiler:It is shot down during Dick's ultimatum in the Season 2 climax, with the Light Stones and Unica aboard.]]
392** CoolShades: In Season 2, he wears red-tinted shades.
393** FallenHero: Heinrich used to work in the WBF. In one year, he became their [[PersonaNonGrata most-hated man]].
394** HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Even though he doesn't change much if at all, it's the situation that puts him in a much more positive light.]]
395** LongLostRelative: Heinrich is Gerhard's older brother, and he disappeared 15 years prior to the events.
396** WellIntentionedExtremist: Just to make Beyblade the ultimate sport, Heinrich did some "unexpected" things such as building an arena ''[[RecycledInSpace with machineguns firing at the beyblades]]''. [[spoiler:It is revealed to be an OldShame.]]
397** WhiteHairBlackHeart: In Season 2.
398* MasterOfDisguise: Heinrich had his genetic makeup redone by Zin to change appearance. Thrice.
399* NobleDemon: As deranged as he can be, Heinrich plays by the rules. So much that he has to have his business threatened to even try to mount an alternative to the WBF League.
400* RefugeInAudacity: How does Heinrich deal with being fired from the WBF? He creates his own Beyblade design company. Neoblade's success in the Beyblade industry is based solely on his creativity.
401!!!Tropes associated with Zin:
402%%* BaldOfEvil
403* CoolPlane: His flying lab. [[spoiler:It is shot down by Dick at the end of the Greek Arc.]]
404* CoolShades: The essence of Zin's [[PaperThinDisguise "disguise"]].
405* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Zin's dead daughter Jamillah. And every person he has given life to.
406* MadScientist: Zin deals in cloning and genetic manipulation.
407* WellIntentionedExtremist: Zin wants to bring back his daughter to life, and to do so, doesn't hesitate to break taboos about cloning or death.
408* {{Workaholic}}: Zin's life is filled with his work [[spoiler:since the death of his then-7-year-old daughter]].
409[[/folder]]
410
411[[folder:''The Forbidden City Clan''\
412'''Team China''']]
413-> Min's former team, directed by the very nationalist authorities of China. The team is composed of bladers trained from early childhood at the Forbidden City to become perfect bladers. They have a huge training center, and hard training regimens.
414!!Tropes that apply to the team:
415* BadassNormal: The only team not to use a Cell or a Core against the Light Stones, they still give them a very hard time.
416* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting
417* MeaningfulRename: When the team is kicked out of the Forbidden City and loses national support, they are forced to rename the team. From Germany onwards, they're now known as the Wuxing Clan.
418* TheWorfEffect: When they show up in Germany, the Panzers absolutely trash them. The fall is foreshadowed and justified by the consequences of their loss in China: the team has been kicked out of the Forbidden City and Beyblade in China has lost a lot of traction due to the Emperor losing interest. As a result, the team are already said to be washed out before their match with the Panzers.
419!!'''Jin Guo'''
420-> Min's [[AloofBigBrother aloof twin brother]], and captain of the team. He mostly acts behind his teammates, doing reconnaissance job so they can do the fighting part. He is often seen in Jun's shadow, a fact that his opponents get to regret.
421!!!Tropes associated with Jin:
422* ArrogantKungFuGuy
423* AsianAndNerdy: Though less nerdy than Wen, his [[GeekPhysiques thin physique]] and glasses make him look quite nerdy.
424* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Plays being the NumberTwo to [[TheSmartGuy Wen]] and stayed in the back to make everyone think he's scared because of his less-than-stellar record. In the semifinals, he pops up for shock value when he pops up a FlashStep similar to Marco's ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'' and then dissects Min's Blading style to the point that she had to think outside the box by her own standards.
425* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Black hair and black eyes.
426* DragonsUpTheYinYang: His motif, with the dragons on his outfit and the yin-yang-colored Beyblade.
427* GreyscaleOfEvil: His outfit and blade are both black and white.
428* MegaManning: He based his special attack on Marco's, and keeps a similar speed focus.
429* MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: His usual strategy is predicting and countering the opponent's blading style. Even when against Min's ConfusionFu, he pulls this off.
430* StalkerWithoutACrush: Erik suspects he's this to Min when he spies on the Team.
431!!'''Jun Wang'''
432-> Min and Jin's best friend. The charismatic Chinese Ace, ranked 69th best in the world. The most friendly person in the team ([[FriendlyEnemy the only one at that]]). He lost to Erik during the latter's [[EarlyBirdCameo 100-on-one battle]], but he gives a monstrous beating to every single of his opponents during the China Arc, Erik included.
433!!!Tropes associated with Jun:
434* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Delivers one to [[TheAce Erik]]. In China, Falk targets him as a message to Erik.]]
435* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears during Erik's 1-versus-100 bout, which Erik wins.
436* {{Expy}}: He looks like a Chinese [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]].
437** ShotoClone: He uses his blade to perform their most traditional moves.
438*** {{Shoryuken}}: His SignatureMove ''Shenglong''.
439*** EnergyBall: With the Cell, he uses the ''Bodong'', a standard fireball.
440* FriendlyRivalry: With Jin, though it's unmentioned by anyone but Min until the semi-finals in China to hide Jin's skill level.
441* ILetYouWin: Throws this in Erik's face when they battle in China, as he (and many others) willingly threw the fight because 101 blades in the same stadium was simply too impractical.
442* OneHitKill: His ''Shenglong'', and his overall strategy revolves around landing it. Outside matches, he always tries to find ways to keep it a OneHitKill.
443* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:When he charges ''Bodong'', he adds lightning.]]
444* TrainingFromHell: The team's hard Beyblade training regimen is hard enough for the rest of the team not to want any more physical activity. Jun is the only one who takes true martial arts training, meaning he trains much harder than the rest of his team.
445!!'''Lan Chai'''
446-> A young girl fresh out from the Chinese Beyblade Academy. She replaces Min in the team, though her tactics are much more straightforward.
447!!!Tropes associated with Lan:
448%%* AnimeChineseGirl
449* AttackAttackAttack: Her grasp of strategy is poor.
450* DanceBattler: Not exactly but when she hams it up, she makes large gestures akin to dancing.
451* FieryRedhead: She goes as far as coloring her hair.
452* FlowerMotifs: Lotus petals.
453* LargeHam: By far the most lively member of the team.
454* MasterOfNone: Compensated by extreme endurance.
455%%* {{Odango}}: Usually has those.
456* PlayingWithFire: When she gets her Cell, she burns [[PetalPower lotus petals]] as her attack.
457* ReplacementScrappy: In-universe example: Jin doesn't like her because she takes his sister's place.
458* TeamKiller: In Germany, her attack deals more damage to Jin and Jun than to the Panzers.
459* TokenMiniMoe: Of sorts. She is the one who is taken less seriously than Wen or the massive threat of the Jin/Jun duo.
460!!'''Wen Tsu'''
461-> TheSmartGuy of the team. A cold and calculating strategist, and an ''Art of War'' nerd.
462!!!Tropes associated with Wen:
463* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Wen has something of an inferiority complex towards Jin due to never beating him despite being smarter on paper. [[spoiler:This foreshadows his defeat to Virgil, as he loses because Virgil, like Jin, has more practical smarts rather than book smarts.]]
464* AsianAndNerdy
465* BadassBookworm: He reads ''the Art of War'', and is always seen with the book on screen.
466* BlowYouAway: How he uses his Cell.
467** RazorWind
468* CombatPragmatist: He tries to follow ''the Art of War'' to the letter, honor or anything else be damned.
469* CripplingOverspecialization: He is always thinking about Beyblade, so he has absolutely no social life. [[spoiler:His shock at his defeat at the hands of Virgil is reminiscent of Erik's.]]
470* CulturedBadass
471* DontThinkFeel: Defies this and denounces gut feeling, which bites him in the back when Virgil beats him this way.
472* FragileSpeedster: And he knows all of the facets of being this.
473* InsufferableGenius: He's an introvert, but that trait of his shows whenever he talks.
474* KickTheDog: He condones breaking Min morally before the finals [[ToWinWithoutFighting to force the Light Stones to give them a free win]], to the point of quoting Sun Tzu on the matter.
475* MissionControl: For the Chinese team. From the ringside, he works a lot to get the opponent's weaknesses in the first round before his teammates beat them. And then the second round is often a perfect CurbStompBattle.
476* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Always [[DopeSlap slaps]] Lan with a book when she says something idiotic or too hammy.
477!!Coach '''Fen Han'''
478-> The Clan's {{Miko}}-like coach. Idol of every AnimeChineseGirl blader, especially Min. Despite being outsmarted by Wen, she still is very intelligent, more than she lets on. She also complements Jin and Wen's cold-hearted tactics by being soft-spoken, good-hearted, and more than everything someone who likes fair fights.
479!!!Tropes associated with Fen:
480* TheHeart: She is the major heart of the group. She was the one to ask Jun to help Min. She does not approve of Jin's use of a BreakingSpeech on Min, or of Wen's approval of it.
481--> '''Fen:''' "Beyblade is NOT war!"
482* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: She does want to win, but in a fair fight.
483%%* MotherlySidePlait
484* ObfuscatingStupidity: Not quite to the extent of Min, but she still doesn't look quite as smart as she is.
485* [[OlderThanTheyLook Older Than She Looks]]: She looks in her mid-twenties. She's 31.
486[[/folder]]
487
488[[folder:''The Cardinal Kings''\
489'''Team Japan''']]
490-> The team composed of Ryunosuke's former friends. Upset at his departure, they trained hard to get back at him when he comes back. By the time Unica enters the tournaments, the Cardinal Kings are the best team in Japan.
491!!Tropes associated with the team:
492* TheFourGods: Keijiro is the Byakko, Ren is the Seiryu, Noboru is the Genbu and Kohaku is the Suzaku. Ryunosuke is the Koryu.
493!!'''Keijiro Nakamura'''
494-> Ryunosuke's ex-[[TheRival rival]]. Holds a grudge against him for having left the group and taunts him with his performances, triggering Ryunosuke's HeroicBSOD.
495!!!Tropes associated with Keijiro:
496* BadassNormal: One of the few not to rely on flashy attacks once he got the Core and the Cell.
497* BlindWithoutEm: Downplayed. His case isn't nearly as bad as Akira's, so he doesn't hesitate to lend her his glasses.
498* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: Barring Virgil's ''[[DeusExMachina Miracle Shot]]'' and [[TheAce Erik]], Keijiro is the first beyblader to beat Marco.
499* FragileSpeedster: Downplayed. He's not this fragile, but neither is he as fast as the likes of Marco.
500* GeniusBruiser: He is surprisingly aggressive in the arena, and he is the one playing mind games in the team.
501* TheGlassesGottaGo: Defied: He openly prefers to wear his glasses. The only time he takes them off, it's because he has to.
502* HotBlooded: Ryunosuke notes that Keijiro is putting on a show to make a point to him.
503* RealMenWearPink: Right before the finals, as Akira gets dressed for her exorcism dance, Keijiro is combing her hair.
504* ScaryShinyGlasses: Gives Ryunosuke one of these at the beginning.
505* StoicSpectacles: Apart from the displays of power and skill in the stadiums, he's a rather calm person.
506* SpecsOfAwesome
507* TigerVersusDragon: The Tiger to Ryunosuke and/or Ren's Dragon.
508!!'''Ren Hiwatari'''
509-> Ryunosuke's ex-girlfriend, who can't decide either she can forgive him for leaving or not.
510!!!Tropes associated with Ren:
511* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Averted. She doesn't get back with Ryunosuke following their meeting.
512* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Light blue hair, and beautiful InnocentBlueEyes to match.
513* OldFlameFizzle: The last time she sees Ryunosuke before the finals, she [[LetsJustBeFriends friendzones him]] and sets the tone for their confrontation in the stadium.
514* StoneWall: Her Beyblade is a defense-stamina hybrid build.
515* TigerVersusDragon: The Dragon to Keijiro's Tiger. And she's also TheDragon to Keijiro being the japanese arc's BigBad.
516
517!!'''Noboru Kinomiya'''
518-> [[InSeriesNickname Nicknamed Sho by the other Kings]], the brash Noboru is Ryunosuke's replacement in the team. He is the most hostile member of the team, and uses his matches to show Ryunosuke that the team doesn't need him.
519!!!Tropes associated with Noboru:
520* BoisterousBruiser: In a way, he's the Kings' equivalent of Marco.
521* InSeriesNickname: Sho. It's a shorter reading of his name's kanji.
522* HomeRunHitter: Spends all of his matches sending the opponents' blades to the 100-feet-away bench or even in the audience.
523* ShonenHair
524* TagAlongKid: Played with. He is the youngest member of the team and kind of a brat, but he really is quite potent in the stadium, and fundamental to the team's synergy.
525!!'''Kohaku Ninomae'''
526-> A reliable childhood friend to all the Japanese team. She doesn't show much, but she really is a sweet person to her teammates, and a serious threat in the arena.
527!!!Tropes associated with Kohaku:
528* GogglesDoNothing: Unlike Akira or Keijiro, she doesn't need her glasses except for reading.
529* GreenEyedRedhead
530* HoldMyGlasses: When [[TheGlassesComeOff her time comes to battle]], she always nonchalantly holds out her glasses for someone (usually a disgruntled Noboru) to hold them until the match is over.
531* LetsGetDangerous: She's barely noticeable at the beginning, not even looking at Unica or uttering a single line to her own teammates in the little time she appears. In the semifinals, Noboru gets benched and the [[SugarAndIcePersonality socially awkward sweetie]] proceeds to utterly dominate her opponent[[spoiler:, and then beat Raimund in the finals for an undefeated record]].
532* SmartPeopleWearGlasses
533* StoicSpectacles: She's very calm and soft-spoken.
534* StoneWall
535!!Coach '''Akira Matsurida'''
536-> Elite Trainer of Japan, Akira is a 29-year-old {{Bifauxnen}}. As the coach of the team, she is often discussing with Keijiro, usually to plan around the information the team gets on their competition.
537!!!Tropes associated with Akira:
538* {{Bifauxnen}}
539* BlindWithoutEm: Keijiro has to give her his own glasses at one point.
540* {{Miko}}: SheCleansUpNicely while taking this attire and performing a ritual exorcism before the finals.
541* ShipTease: She's got a certain amount with Keijiro. They're talking all the time during the matches, and even outside, they see each other very often.
542[[/folder]]
543
544[[folder:''Yaro's Red Bears''\
545'''Team Russia''']]
546-> Vlad's former team. This team is composed of soldier-like bladers, with fitting training and appearance. They had a deal with Heinrich and tested the Cells too.
547!!Tropes associated with the team:
548* BadassBiker
549* GoodLookingPrivates: Zinaida and Irina much more so than the rugged and messy Lev and the {{Tomboy}} Alyona.
550* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: They even call out Vlad for saying that after leaving Russia.
551!!'''Lev Zaretsky'''
552-> Vlad's friend and former brother-in-arms, he is the leader of the team. A proud soldier and a bad one to get on the wrong side of. His excessive pride causes him to doubt the use of the Cells as he inflicts too much of a CurbStompBattle to his opponents with it.
553!!!Tropes associated with Lev:
554* AnimalMotifs: The lion.
555* BloodKnight: Early on, he's very eager to test the Cell. His pride later causes him to fall out of this.
556* BrilliantButLazy: Subverted. He hates training, so he enters int team in many tournaments just to skip it. It has benefits, given that this much contact with the exterior not only feels better for him, but the team as a whole gains more genuine experience.
557* CurbStompBattle: He destroys Vlad's blade in their first battle.
558* HotBlooded
559* ItAmusedMe: His reason to even use the Cell. [[spoiler:When it becomes boring, he dumps it.]]
560* MessyHair
561* PoorPredictableRock: His choice for the team's lineup — Lev always, '''always''' goes second. [[spoiler:Gerhard attempted to exploit this against him by aligning Virgil to take him on after the bracket reset, as Lev is intimidating enough for Virgil's Cell to start acting up. However, Lev strategizes around this and defeats Virgil.]]
562* RedBaron: He is occasionally called "the Siberian Lion".
563* RedOniBlueOni: He is the Red to Vlad's Blue.
564!!'''Alyona Ivanova'''
565-> A very soldier-like tomboy blader. She is the cool head of the team, as well as carrying the role of TheBigGuy. Maximum battle efficience is her priority since she has often been underestimated. She represses her emotions.
566!!!Tropes associated with Alyona:
567* ActionGirl: She is defined by this trope.
568* CardCarryingVillain: [[spoiler:She admits to cheating by using the Cell against Vlad while he didn't have one.]]
569* CoupDeGrace: Whenever she wins by knockdown, she knocks the opponent's blade out of the stadium "post-death". [[spoiler:She tries to injure Vlad so he can't compete for the third round, but only nails his kneeguard.]]
570* EasilyForgiven: By Vlad for the kneecapping attempt.
571* FlashStep: Her ''Tank Shell'', which is really Marco's ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'' with the SerialNumbersFiledOff.
572* MightyGlacier: Her blade. Herself too, among girls, being more muscular but a slow runner.
573* OfficialCouple: With Vlad. In fact, the reason of her enmity to the Light Stones is isolating Vlad from her attempts to contact him, which is one of the first hints that the WBF isn't just the BigGood it's supposed to be.
574* PowerCopying: On Marco. When she gets her Cell, she uses the ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker''.
575* PragmaticVillain: When the others gave their Cells back to Heinrich, she kept hers, and she used it against Vlad. When confronted, her argument is simply that calling Heinrich back just to shout at him and give him the Cell back was devoid of purpose and a waste of everyone's time.
576* SpamAttack: Spams rushing attacks when she gets her Cell. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, she demonstrates this for a short time, as she gets faced up against the Panzers, and [[FinalBoss Gretchen]] outspeeds and destroys her blade with a ''Death Star''.]]
577* TheStoic: She rarely raises her voice, even at her most frustrated.
578* TankTopTomboy: In Germany, she wears a tank top instead of her military jacket.
579!!'''Zinaida Belkina'''
580-> The spy of the team, and the one to provide the best intel all teams considered. She is more quiet than her teammates, finding calmly the solution to her problems.
581!!!Tropes associated with Zinaida:
582* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Half the time, she's simply called Zina.
583* FragileSpeedster
584* MissionControl: Though she gets her information by spying on the enemy teams.[[spoiler:Asger catches her [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and injures her for her trouble]].]]
585* TheQuietOne
586** BewareTheQuietOnes: While she's harder to annoy than the others, she's more violent when that happens.
587* TheRival: To Alyona. They began rivalling over Vlad, but while the romantic rivalry faded, the blading rivalry stayed.
588* ShockAndAwe
589* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Min taking notice of her being upset at Vlad for leaving (with Alyona just beside her) gives us this exchange.
590-->'''Min:''' "She's your girlfriend?"\
591'''Vlad:''' "No, just a childhood friend. The other one's my girlfriend."
592!!'''Irina Babina'''
593-> A sort of ambassador to her team. Most of her work consists in upholding the reputation of the team, or convincing the ones they [[CurbStompBattle curbstomp]] not to take defeat too bad.
594!!!Tropes associated with Irina:
595* AnIcePerson: Her Cell attacks follow this trend, but she herself is actually pretty nice.
596** AnIceSuit: The exagerratedly furnished clothing. Even in summer, she's dressed more conservatively.
597* BewareTheNiceOnes: Despite being nice and complimenting her opponents, particular frustrations can make her as dangerous as the rest.
598** As early as the second round, she demonstrates her "cold shoulder treatment" to Shannon, dragging out a match she simply cannot win. Lev compares the treatment to torture.
599** When Alyona tries to injure Vlad so her can't compete in their final round, Irina decks her and knocks her to the floor.
600* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Even as an antagonist, she's a FriendlyEnemy.
601* MartialPacifist
602* StoneWall
603!!'''Yaroslav Kozlov'''
604-> Coach of the 1st section of the Red Bladers (in consequence, they're called "Yaroslav's Red Bears"), he is the team's superior, directing the team under his iron fist. Though, he is still proud of his pupils and isn't afraid to boast their abilities.
605!!!Tropes associated with Yaroslav:
606* BoisterousBruiser: During his prime. Still is boisterous when boasting to have the best team.
607* BrutalHonesty
608* TheCaptain
609* RedBaron: Was nicknamed "Captain Blade", when he was a Beyblader. The nickname is still used to this day, though somewhat rarely.
610* TrainingFromHell: His favourite method for training, for his team or for himself. Unlike Johann or Dick, his training is rigorous, but not to an abusive degree.
611[[/folder]]
612
613[[folder:''The Natural Four''\
614'''Team Norway''']]
615-> Old friends of Raimund, who didn't contact them as part of his two-year training in Russia. Out of jealousy, they accepted Zin's Cores to beat him. Coming from the northern mountains just before the tournament, they prove already above-average without the Cores, and overwhelmingly powerful with them. Bored from the semi-finals, they question this choice and prefer not using them for the finals.
616!!Tropes associated with the team:
617* {{Revenge}}: Taking the Cores from Zin is theirs against [[TheBigGuy Raimund]]. They abandon it just before the end.
618
619!!'''Ludolf Kallestad'''
620-> Raimund's former closest friend, and the one who resents him the most for leaving without a thought. Letting go of his frustration on his first opponents in the tournament, he starts to doubt his doing the right thing mid-way and stops using the Core before the finals.
621!!!Tropes associated with Ludolf:
622* GlassCannon: He dishes out quite the amount of damage, but takes just as much.
623* HotBlooded
624* RevengeBeforeReason: His mindset at first.
625!!'''Björn Dahlen'''
626!!!Tropes associated with Björn:
627* BearsAreBadNews: First appearance: he shatters his opponent's blade. Yup, bad news.
628* TheBerserker
629
630!!'''Heinrike Halseth'''
631!!!Tropes associated with Heinrike:
632* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: [[DefeatMeansFriendship More after the Norwegian Arc.]]
633* InnocentBlueEyes
634* TheHeart
635* StoneWall: Her beyblade is a stall build, favoring defense and stamina at the expense of attack.
636
637!!'''Meinhard Grimsrud'''
638!!!Tropes associated with Meinhard:
639* BadassArmfold
640* MightyGlacier
641* OlderSidekick / OlderAndWiser: To Ludolf.
642* TheSmartGuy: Oddly enough, he is this in the team.
643
644!!Coach '''Aina Solheim'''
645-> The coach of the Norwegian team, who has never known Raimund, and therefore tries to temper her students' desire for revenge. She's the one who got Zin's offer for Cores, and ultimately the one to give them back to him.
646!!!Tropes associated with Coach Aina:
647* ConsummateProfessional: Compared to the bladers' ItsPersonal mindset to Raimund, Aina is unexpectedly detached, modest and almost friendly.
648* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: When she returns the Cores.
649--> '''Aina:''' You've already had the money. This is all the publicity you're gonna get.
650[[/folder]]
651
652[[folder:''The New Legion''\
653'''Team Vatican''']]
654-> Virgil's former friends. They are acquainted with Heinrich, and therefore the Light Stones are sent to investigate. It turns out they are guarding Vatican due to a tense situation, and the Light Stones have to act under Gerhard's orders instead of Dick and Moby's in order to manage to enter Vatican. After being discovered inside, the team is not sent back outside, but publicly challenged. By revealing Virgil's past, they also reveal what is at stake[[spoiler:: Virgil's refusal of the marriage proposition from Iulia]].
655!!Tropes associated with the team:
656* AerithAndBob: Their latin names stand out. Lucius and Iulia are comparatively normal.
657* NationalStereotypes: Sort of. They're not exactly Italian, but Virginia does painting as a hobby, and all of them are Roman Catholics to an absurd degree. Then come the Vatican stereotypes: their functioning around a CorruptChurch of sorts is played straight. Though [[TheManBehindTheMan Heinrich is behind them]], inverting a stereotype.
658!!'''Marcus "Aelius" Augustus'''
659-> Highest-graded person in the new Legion, he is set to inherit Appius Caesar's status in the future. Though he prefers being the team captain to sitting behind a desk. A self-professed honorable soldier. [[spoiler:He's being kept in the dark by the bureaucracy, not that he wishes to know anything about it. He was a kind of big brother to Virgil as well as any of his teammates. He establishes himself by defeating Erik and destroying his blade to prevent the Light Stones from disturbing. Though, at the public match, he gets defeated by Erik in return.]]
660!!!Tropes associated with Aelius:
661* CoolBigBro: Was this to Virgil.
662* [[TheCaptain The Dux]]: Even though he's kind of ignored by the bureaucracy, he runs his team, sometimes ignoring the bureaucrats in return.
663* CoolHelmet: It hides his bald head.
664* ThePowerOfTheSun: His visual element.
665* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: Since he is the captain of the team, he negates orders from the bureaucracy when he doesn't agree with them.
666* SiblingYinYang: With his twin Lucius. He's the Yang, Lucius is the Yin.
667* StrongerSibling: Due to training more and Lucius frequently leaving to flirt with the ladies, Aelius is obviously stronger.
668!!'''Publia "Iulia" Caesar'''
669-> A renowned professor. She's also Appius's daughter, which sometimes lets her subvert even Aelius's authority. [[spoiler:She was supposed to marry Virgil before the plot, but marriage for monetary interest disgusted him and he left. After Appius's death to the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade, she took his place in an attempt to [[ClearMyName clear his name]] from the WBF's claim that he protected Heinrich. Once she's defeated, she doesn't try to marry Virgil, instead choosing DefeatMeansFriendship and becoming a mentor figure to help him in leading the team. She's the team coach from Season 2 onwards.]]
670!!!Tropes associated with Iulia:
671* AloofDarkHairedGirl
672* BlueBlood: She's the daughter of Appius Caesar.
673* GoneHorriblyRight: Her first victory against Virgil was absolute to the point that she shattered his blade and with it his motivation. However, not only did this cause him to not go back with her, but by the end of the arc TheDogBitesBack.
674* KickTheDog: In her first match against Virgil, she shatters his blade (that was the symbol of his departure). It would have been excellent had she actually aimed to play mental warfare on him.
675* LadyOfWar: Retires from Season 2 onwards, though she stays in the business, as the director of the Vatican Beyblade Federation.
676* MissionControl: She becomes coach in Season 2, and [[spoiler:watches over Virgil when he's back in Vatican after coming to terms with her.]]
677* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: She's a professor, nationally-certified Beyblade coach, and when she leaves it's to become head of the Vatican federation, a political position she has no problem filling.
678* SweetPollyOliver: Hides her more womanly attributes and poses as male while dealing with bureaucracy from Season 2 onwards.
679
680!!'''"Lucius" Aelius Augustus'''
681-> Aelius's younger twin brother. A pretty boy, especially when compared to his brother, who enjoys popularity with girls. In battle, he doesn't have his brother's strength, but instead uses speed to win. [[spoiler:He takes Vlad on twice, first destroying his blade, and then losing to him.]]
682!!!Tropes associated with Lucius:
683* AssholeVictim: Since he was so much of a SmugSnake, maybe [[spoiler:Appius shooting him in the foot]] is an enjoyable experience.
684* CoolHelmet: Though he doesn't like having it on.
685* DefeatMeansFriendship: He becomes way more friendly to the Light Stones once they win against the Legion [[spoiler:by 3 to 0]].
686* FlashStep: His ''Lightspeed Step'', the main asset of his Blading style.
687* KidAnova
688* LightEmUp: His visual element of choice.
689* TheMole: [[spoiler:Tries to pull this off but fails to meet Heinrich before Appius gets killed in front of him.]]
690* SiblingYinYang
691* SmugSnake: Starts out as a pompous ladies' man who couldn't care less about anything else.
692
693!!'''Tita "Aquila" Caesar'''
694-> Iulia's slave. Though, Iulia considers her more like something between little sister and daughter than anything close to the old idea of it. Aquila herself holds her condition in high regards, and she's also pretty excitable.
695!!!Tropes associated with Aquila:
696* ButtMonkey: Lucius frequently mocks her for having no rank of nobility by birth.
697* ChainedByFashion: She wears a chained collar, mostly for looks. Sometimes used for [[PlayedForLaughs comical effect]].
698* ChildProdigy: Even Virgil wouldn't have had the right to represent Vatican before aging 18, but she can at age 16.
699* GlassCannon / FragileSpeedster
700* HappinessInSlavery: While not textbook slavery, she is extremely happy.
701* HairTriggerTemper: She can flare up easily.
702* PetitePride: Small, and almost no chest. Proud of it almost to SmugSnake levels.
703
704!!'''Virginia Smith ''[[spoiler:(birth name Numeria Vergilia Octavia)]]'''''
705-> Virgil's little sister. She shows up in Season 2 to make up for Iulia's departure. She's pretty shy, but also one of Iulia's greatest pupils. She's also as green as can be in Beyblading, therefore she's taught everything by watching videos of her brother.
706!!!Tropes associated with Virginia:
707* ButtMonkey: Despite training, she doesn't pull her weight as well as the rest of the team, and always loses much harder than the rest.
708* CloudCuckooLander: She's easily distracted: this is her major weakness, especially after she picks up the pace.
709* CoattailRidingRelative: An inversion: she was hand-picked because she is Virgil's younger sister, but she is unqualified to fill in the void Iulia left.
710* DistaffCounterpart: As far as the blading goes, she's one to Virgil. [[JustifiedTrope She's his sister, and she trained by watching him, so this was nigh-inevitable.]]
711* EarlyBirdCameo: Subverted. In Virgil's leaving scene from episode 1, he goes to her room before the night and tells her he's sorry before leaving. While she's the Numeria he's referring to, she's not shown in any way.
712* KickedUpstairs: She's not ready to fill a slot on a national team.
713* MakingASplash: More than water, some of her attacks look like ink of diverse colors, what with being inspired by painting.
714* NonIndicativeName: She's actually not a virgin, courtesy of Lucius.
715* [[PaintItBlack Repaint It White]]: What she did was MegaManning her brother's acts against Iulia in a LighterAndSofter way.
716* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: She is untrained at the basics, due to having to fight using the C-Square.
717* ShrinkingViolet: She is scared when even Aquila mouths off at her. [[spoiler:After losing to Melanie, she's scared shitless of her.]]
718* [[WellDoneSonGuy Well Done Lil'Sis Girl]]: She really longs for recognition from Virgil.
719
720!!Coach '''"Appius" Iulius Caesar'''
721-> Coach of the New Legion during the first part. He was the man in charge of the Vatican Federation of Beyblade, and also the head of the Roman Community. [[spoiler:When he discovered Heinrich was using them to his own ends, he tried to trap him, but when the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade shot at Heinrich to prevent the latter from escaping , he was caught in the fire and injured. Dick finished him afterwards.]]
722!!!Tropes associated with Appius:
723* BlueBlood: He's the head of the Vatican Beyblade Federation, and a powerful political figure.
724* CorruptChurch: Could be thought of the head of something like this, but his wealth comes from his salary as head of the Vatican Beyblade Federation.
725* DragonWithAnAgenda: To Heinrich during the Vatican Arc.
726* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:He is shot by Dick, though no blood is seen.]]
727* HiddenAgendaVillain
728* SinisterMinister
729[[/folder]]
730
731[[folder:''The Glittering Sisters''\
732'''Team Greece''']]
733--> The four new beybladers that took over the Greek tournament scene in two weeks. Their dominance earned them the status of national Greek team, but their strange looks and behaviour puts them under suspicion of being under external orders, prompting the WBF to investigate about them through Unica.
734----
735* AerithAndBob: Hermione and Gaia are existing names, but Aella and Psyche aren't.
736* AmazonBrigade: As close as it can get here. Coach Nikos is TheOneGuy, and often left out of team dynamics.
737* BadassAdorable
738* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler:It is discovered that they're clones near the end of the Greek Arc. It takes an accident and the end of Season 1 for them to grow out of EmotionlessGirl-ness.]]
739* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Hermione has golden hair along with SupernaturalGoldEyes, Aella is the [[MysticalWhiteHair white-haired girl]] with grey eyes. Psyche and Gaia avert it, the former by having jet black hair and purple eyes, the latter by being a blue-eyed blonde.
740* DarkMagicalGirl: They're the first to use the Cell against Unica.
741* EmotionlessGirl: They all start as this. [[spoiler:Season 2 gives them CharacterDevelopment.]]
742* HatesBeingTouched
743* NoSocialSkills: They're never seen in public except during the matches.[[spoiler: In Season 2, each of them becomes fairly outgoing.]]
744* SilentAntagonist
745!!'''Hermione[[spoiler: (Season 2 name: Melina Kallis)]]'''
746!!!Tropes associated with Hermione:
747* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Subverted: She isn't supernatural, but she isn't really natural either.
748!!'''Psyche[[spoiler: (Season 2 name: Eva Kallis)]]'''
749!!!Tropes associated with Psyche:
750* GravityIsPurple
751* RavenHairIvorySkin
752!!'''Aella[[spoiler: (Season 2 name: Anna Kallis)]]'''
753!!!Tropes associated with Aella:
754* EyesAlwaysShut: Emphasizes the fact that she's the wisest. She opens them on any serious matter though.
755* MysticalWhiteHair
756!!'''Gaia[[spoiler: (Season 2 name: Chara Kallis)]]'''
757!!!Tropes associated with Gaia:
758* DumbBlonde: She looks the part.
759* InnocentBlueEyes: Even in Season 1.
760!!'''Nikos Rodia'''
761!!!Tropes associated with Nikos:
762* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Starts out in the dark about who the girls actually are.
763* [[PuppetKing Puppet Coach]]: Zin has more authority over the girls than he does.
764[[/folder]]
765
766[[folder:''The Storm Panzers''\
767'''Team Germany''']]
768-> Erik's former "friends", formed into a team by Johann, Erik's ArchnemesisDad. [[spoiler:Though, it soon appears that Johann is completely unable to control them, and Heinrich's influence is perceived. Gone DrunkWithPower, the members of the team are here to show Erik how they have grown by defeating him. He [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge doesn't take their challenge very well]].]]\
769From Season 2 onwards they are the (doubtedly) Evil Team, but they are [[ToxicFriendInfluence bad friends]] to Erik.
770!!Tropes associated with the team:
771* DrunkWithPower: They're pretty different after they lose, but in the German arc, they range from twisted to AxCrazy. Only Kilian isn't, and his reluctance causes him to be cast out of the matches by Johann.
772* GermanicEfficiency: Inverted for their introductory arc: they are pretty enthusiastic about their C-Square-powered asskicking escapades. Kilian and Johann play this trope straight. Later on, they play the trope much straighter in all but attitude.
773* PowerHigh: In Season 1, they all fall prey to the C-Square power-high, getting worse as the arc goes on, with only Kilian not being affected by it. In the semi-finals round, Falk, Asger and Gretchen shatter their opponents' blades into pieces and pelt each other with the parts, and despite being scratched to blood with one of the pieces, Gretchen doesn't realize she's bleeding even as she leaves the screen.
774!!'''Falk Adler'''
775-> Captain of the Storm Panzers, and [[TheHeart the one holding the team together]]. Despite his charisma, he is an AttentionWhore out to show his greatness.
776!!!Tropes associated with Falk:
777* BigManOnCampus
778* BirdsOfAFeather: He's friends with Gretchen due to their common domineering streak, and with Asger due to both being jocks.
779* BullyingADragon: Subverted. As favourites to win the tournament, the Panzers are frequently seen in interviews, during which Falk {{trashtalk}}s previously-established teams, but he does beat them all, and even in the match he doesn't go to, his team wins.
780* DeathFromAbove: He's fond of diving attacks. In his first match, he dives through Jun's ''Shenglong'' for a OneHitKO. In his second match, he takes Aquila out from above while her blade was up in the air readying for a gattai of her own. During the semi-finals, he knocks [=Stanl337=]'s blade into the air, and then dives him from above.
781* DefeatMeansFriendship: His attitude majorly improves for Season 2.
782* TheHeart: Despite his narcissism, he is this to the team. Showcased far better during Season 2.
783* IShallTauntYou: He frequently taunts before and/or during matches.
784* LovableJock: Oppositely to Asger, his right-hand JerkJock. Gretchen does call him a JerkJock just for hanging out with Asger.
785* OppositesAttract: How the quiet and strict Kilian became his friend is a mystery.
786* ThePowerOfFriendship: Even though he's selfish and all, he holds the team together this way. The reason the team shows cracks is because his arrogance sometimes riles the team up.
787!!'''Gretchen Dunst'''
788-> Wouldn't it for having been a school friend of Erik, she'd be a normal girl. But she fell in love with him, [[{{Yandere}} becoming obsessed with making him fall in love with her, starting Beyblade to connect with him.]]
789!!!Tropes associated with Gretchen:
790* BerserkButton: Erik being belittled. Asger suggests that she used her blade at school to "punish" someone who had said Erik was overrated. [[spoiler:Alyona pushes it and finds this out the hard way, as Gretchen targets her with a ''Death Star''.]]
791* ClassRep
792* DiminishingVillainThreat: Over the course of the finals, her inability to hurt Erik despite her C-Square means that the Panzers become much less dangerous.
793* EntitledToHaveYou: To Erik, as she feels she's the only one who's ever truly loved him. Surprisingly, it's only after this trait wears out that Erik starts opening up to her.
794* GigglingVillain: For most of the German Arc, she has a psychotic chuckle when out there. The more she's agitated, the more she's struggling not to break out into laughter.
795* IfICantHaveYou: She reacts to [[NotGoodWithRejection Erik's rejection of her]] with this:
796--> "If we can't be together, then I just have to destroy the Erik I love. Starting with this blade! If you can't play, then noone will love you! And I will be free!"
797* PsychoticSmirk: Very fond of this during the German arc.
798* StalkerWithACrush: Except that Erik does know her, and does not feel intimidated the slightest bit.
799* {{Yandere}}: So infatuated with Erik that she became an AlphaBitch and started Beyblading. [[spoiler:And in her match against Erik, first she can't really hurt him, and afterwards she goes IfICantHaveYou. Even after getting [[DefeatMeansFriendship "befriended"]], she's still a ClingyJealousGirl.]]
800!!'''Asger Bosch'''
801-> Falk's best friend. He is also the one responsible for the team's nasty DrunkWithPower streak since he embraced craziness just after defeating all of his teammates while trying the C-Square.
802!!!Tropes associated with Asger:
803* AxCrazy: While DrunkWithPower, he's a blatant threat to others. For the most part, he's reined in by Falk.
804* BloodKnight
805* TheBrute: [[spoiler:He goes so far as beating up Zinaida outside a Beyblade match when he finds her too close to his team's quarters.]]
806* DumbMuscle
807* EvilLaugh: In Season 1, he indulges in out-and-out laughter after he beats his opponents, more often than not destroying their blade to the point of unusability or outright disintegrating it.
808* JerkJock: A true-to-form example. According to ''both Falk and Gretchen'', he does more beating up than learning at school.
809* MinMaxing: His beyblade is entirely focused on pure destructive power to the neglect of every other aspect of the game.
810* MundaneUtility: Uses his Cell outside Beyblading to attack Zinaida. Crosses over with CombatPragmatist (and of course TheBrute) since he could have beaten her in the arena.
811* TheNicknamer: He tends to give one-syllable-nicknames to people with longer names.
812* OneHitKO: Does this in Beyblading. He has a tendency to prefer those to several nasty attacks even when those give a safer win.
813** Outside the arena, he breaks two of Zinaida's ribs with one punch.
814* PerpetualFrowner: Barring his PowerHigh state in Season 1, Asger is usually frowning.
815!!'''Kilian Faust'''
816-> The only member of the team who tries to [[GermanicEfficiency quickly beat his opponents]], contrasting his DrunkWithPower teammates. Though, his worries about the team get him to protest against the use of the C-Square[[spoiler:, and ultimately betray his team, by letting Team Liechtenstein know the secret of it]].
817!!!Tropes associated with Kilian:
818* DeadpanSnarker: In Season 1, only to the rest of the Panzers. He's friendlier to the heroes, and more merciful to his opponents in general.
819* EnemyMine: Subverted. [[spoiler:He tells the Light Stones how the C-Square works, but does not join them.]]
820* TheQuietOne
821* TheStoic: Even when the others went DrunkWithPower, he kept his cool.
822** NotSoStoic: He snarks at the rest of his team because of how they got there by cheating and acting like beasts. The night after Asger destroys his blade, he lashes out at Johann for keeping the team up and doing nothing, and then leaves the team in a huff.
823* WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant
824!!'''Johann Bernstein'''
825-> Erik's father, and [[AbusiveParents a terrible one at that]]. A professional blader in an age where it was barely noticed, he resented the world of blading, and tried to take it over by training Erik to have a sort of monopoly of victories.
826!!!Tropes associated with Johann:
827* AdultsAreUseless: One of the biggest victims of this trope. Falk scoffs at his leadership, demonstrating that he is a leader InNameOnly.
828* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: His opinion on the team (except Kilian) during the German Arc. The two reasons he hasn't disbanded the team completely are money and a misguided attempt to get back at Erik, Moby, and Dick.
829* BeleagueredBureaucrat: He tries to keep the team in check, but absolutely fails.
830* CurbStompBattle: He is mostly known for taking those from Dick. He abandoned professional Beyblading when he began training Erik.
831* GermanicDepressives: He's stuck monitoring a team of mad {{Adult Child}}ren to get back at Moby and Dick for stealing Erik's prestige from him.
832* GermanicEfficiency: He lives this trope after the attitude adjustment he gets at the end of season 1.
833* IShallTauntYou: A variant, but Johann's aim in frequently insulting Erik is to throw his focus off. [[spoiler:Once Erik realizes this is Johann's objective, he doesn't let Johann's attitude faze him, and even turns the game back on Johann.]]
834* {{Jerkass}}: He even goes out of his way to be one to Erik whenever he's not on official duty with his team. It doesn't have any real effect aside from making Erik angrier and angrier.
835* ObsoleteMentor: He teaches very outdated tricks, as Falk and Erik attest. He attends coach school and re-educates his team in pure GermanicEfficiency come Season 2.
836* SinkOrSwimMentor: Was one to Erik. His teaching methods were tiring and brutal, as he pushed Erik as much as possible, sometimes until he gave and fainted. Does not apply to the Panzers, as they train on their own.
837* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Heinrich in the Germany Arc. He despises that the C-Square Heinrich brought with him removed all authority Johann had on his team.
838* TrainingFromHell: A trademark of his, as attested by Erik. His training is pushed until whoever he trains can't keep going. Even after in Season 2, he retains his preference for this, but earns his team's respect by following along.
839[[/folder]]
840
841[[folder:''The Parfait Hand''\
842'''Team France''']]
843-> The team formed by [[EvilFormerFriend former friends]] of Marco's. With the C-Square offered by Heinrich, they intend to make Marco pay for [[BreakupBreakout making it to the world scene without waiting for them]].
844!!Tropes associated with the team:
845* DrunkWithPower: All of them perform quite the horrendous displays, systematically destroying their opponents' beyblades, leading to [[AlwaysSecondBest Marco]]'s HeroicBSOD.
846* RivalTurnedEvil
847!!'''Alexandre "Alex" Mailhot'''
848!!!Tropes associated with Alex:
849* [[spoiler:TheAtoner: In Season 2, he's not too fond of his first C-Square run.]]
850* DishingOutDirt: His element of choice.
851* EvilCounterpart: At first, to Marco.
852* GermanicEfficiency: His way of showing off is brutally murdering the competition as fast as possible, compared to Bryan's overusing his power as long as he can.
853!!'''Bryan Parisot'''
854!!!Tropes associated with Bryan:
855* KillItWithFire: First match, he throws a fireball bigger than his opponent's beyblade on it. Second match, [[AlwaysAccurateAttack he sets the entire arena set on fire]]. Third match, a [[UsefulNotes/NuclearWeapons mushroom]].
856* LaughingMad: He gets his EvilLaugh on as soon as his C-Square gets rolling.[[spoiler: When Alex has his realization, he notes that trying out the C-Square has changed him.]]
857* PutTheLaughterInSlaughter: He's always laughing when he goes in the arena, knowing full well that he's gonna annihilate his opponent's beyblade in the process.
858* ToxicFriendInfluence: He's the first to test the C-Square at full power and drags his friends into getting DrunkWithPower.
859!!'''Sacha Gaudreau'''
860!!!Tropes associated with Sacha:
861* BigEater
862* BlowYouAway: Wind is his element of choice.
863* LightEmUp
864* MellowFellow: Outside of the arena, he isn't that HotBlooded.
865* PerpetualSmiler: From genuine smiles to cocky smirks, he's always there aside from the odd serious face.
866* RideTheLightning: When his blade doesn't disappear, it's because it's covered in lightning, and it's very visible.
867* StockShonenHero: Even though he's a villain. [[spoiler:Season 2 makes him closer to this, but he's still not the hero.]]
868* SuperSpeed: His blade can go so fast it's essentially invisible.
869!!'''Sandro Gaudreau'''
870!!!Tropes associated with Sandro:
871* AloofAlly: He looks like it, but it's very clearly averted.
872* CastingAShadow
873* EvilIsHammy: When he hits the arena, he goes from basically silent to yelling a lot.
874* {{Jerkass}}: He's even more of a troublemaker outside the arena than Bryan. Sacha has to prevent him from getting the team into riots with the opposing team on several occasions.
875* PerpetualFrowner
876* ShockAndAwe
877* StockShonenRival: He's got the characterizaion, at least.
878* SuperSpeed: See Sacha.
879!!Coach '''Clement Lafayette'''
880!!!Tropes associated with Clement:
881* ImprobableAge: Paul is remarkably young for a coach at 25. Clement is 3 years younger, at 22.
882* LikeADuckTakesToWater: He adapts quickly enough to his role as the coach and actually stops beyblading to be a good coach, [[ItsPersonal to make sure the team faces Marco]].
883* TakeAThirdOption: The French team had to either get a WBF coach or forfeit their place in the French tournament. Clement took the position of coach since he was the least potent blader. It earned him the ire of Moby.
884[[/folder]]
885----
886!!Recurring teams:
887!!!Tropes associated:
888* {{Jobber}}: They often show up only to serve as example of LookWhatICanDoNow or to show how intimidating the bad guys are.
889[[folder:'''Generación E-GO''']]
890-> The first of those teams to appear, debuting in the China Arc.
891!!Tropes associated with the team:
892* FearlessFool: They never think they have a chance of not winning, even when they are severely outmatched.
893* MultinationalTeam: Generación E-GO has Chinese and Spanish members.
894* RunningGag: Generación E-GO always loses on the first round in any tournament they're featured in. In tournaments with loser brackets, they lose on their first match in those as well.
895* SmallNameBigEgo: All of them.
896* SuicidalOverconfidence: Direct result of the above.
897* TrueCompanions: Surprisingly, their egos, despite all being massive, never cause any friction.
898* UnknownRival: The Forbidden City Clan absolutely hates them, and they have little idea why. An interesting variation is that Generación E-GO is a lot weaker.
899!!'''Meifang Chen'''
900!!!Tropes associated with Meifang:
901* BigBreastPride
902* BrainlessBeauty
903* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Everyone who fights her ignores the sexy.
904* ProudBeauty: Very well aware of her attractive figure, which she never forgets to mention... but being so vain, she ends up [[DistractedByMyOwnSexy more distracted than her opponents]].
905!!'''Qing Long'''
906!!!Tropes associated with Qing:
907* AttackAttackAttack: He always tries to attack and has no other gameplan than attack, attack, ''Ka-Qing'', ''Qing of Qings''.
908** PoorPredictableRock: He frequently gets this attack pattern played around.
909* FakeSpecialAttack: ''Ka-Qing'' is really just a standard charging attack. ''Qing of Qings'' is also the same, only starting from launching his blade vertically on the side of the arena, charging as it comes back down.
910* HopeSpot: For himself, the German arc. Him joining ''Ultimate D-Struction'' causes him to get a few wins under his belt, first of which his own team. He even lands ''the Qing of Qings'', '''twice'''. [[spoiler:And due to not being fielded against the Panzers, '''he never loses'''.]]
911* LostInTranslation: His ''Qing of Qings'' nickname and attack rely on a mispronunciation to even come across as anything.
912* RedBaron: Parodied: he calls himself "the Qing of Qings", which doesn't really mean anything.
913* WarmUpBoss: In his first appearance, he puts up a fight against Virgil, showing that Virgil is a beginner. After that, he always gets dispatched in embarrassingly easy ways.
914!!'''Adora de León'''
915!!!Tropes associated with Adora:
916* AttentionWhore: She demands everyone's attention... which she gets, but she always gets humiliated in the arena, contrary to what she wants.
917* DynamicEntry: Comes out this way.
918* IncomingHam: Always shouts some form of BadassBoast as she walks up to the arena.
919* IShallTauntYou: However, since her taunts are incredibly mild compared to some of the competition, she fails to get a rise out of her opponents.
920* ShamelessSelfPromoter
921!!'''Gerónimo López'''
922!!!Tropes associated with Gerónimo:
923* BattleCry: When his blade takes flight, he shouts [[SayMyName "GERÓNIMO!"]].
924* DeathOrGloryAttack: He attempts a ''[[DeathFromAbove gattai]]'' attack every single match, but spectacularly fails every single time due to his lack of skill.
925!!'''Héctor Velasquez'''
926!!!Tropes associated with Héctor:
927* AttackAttackAttack: Prides himself on his ability to destroy anyone he touches and will only try to attack. Of course, he always loses.
928* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Always punctuates his losses with "Bitch!"
929!!Coach '''Hai Bai'''
930!!!Tropes associated with Hai:
931* StealthHiBye: Frequently. It's fairly easy considering the bladers she's coaching.
932[[/folder]]
933[[folder:'''Team 420''']]
934---> A team of self-styled superstars from America.
935!!!Tropes associated with the team:
936* EagleLand: They look like Type 1, but are actually Type 2. They frequently are compared to {{Jerkass}} American tourists.
937* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Their general disrespectful attitude doesn't endear them to the locals wherever they are.
938* IconicItem: Each member has one: [=Stanl337=]'s [[CoolShades sunglasses]], xX_L11r_Xx's [[SmokingIsCool joint]], O'Bey's cap, Jonny K4$h's jewelry, 2-Payne's headphones, and [=Hollyw33d=]'s airhorns. Though each member uses a few of the other members' items too.
939* SmallNameBigEgo: They think they're superstars. They're anything but.
940!!'''Leo O'Bey'''
941!!!Tropes associated with O'Bey:
942* KnuckleCracking
943* LastNameBasis: He's referred to as O'Bey rather than his first name.
944* MindControl: The Beyblade example. Nothing prevents attempting to control the opponent's Beyblade, and O'Bey '''always''' tries to take control of the opposing Beyblade and cause it to self-ring-out. ItOnlyWorksOnce, on Virgil.
945* PerpetualFrowner: He stands as a contrast to his teammates' SmugSmiler natures by generally looking stern and intimidating.
946* SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp
947!!'''Stanley "[=Stanl337=]" Morton'''
948!!!Tropes associated with [=Stanl337=]:
949* SunglassesAtNight: He will put his sunglasses on while talking trash, even if indoors.
950!!'''Jonathan "Jonny Ka$h" Kaczka'''
951!!!Tropes associated with Jonny Ka$h:
952* BlingOfWar: His blade is majorly blue, with golden accents.
953* OfficialCouple: With 2-Payne.
954!!'''Poppy "2-Payne" Parker'''
955!!!Tropes associated with 2-Payne:
956* CharacterTic: Dabbing.
957* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Played with. Due to her music blasting in her headphones, she's basically deaf to the world around her.
958* OfficialCouple: With Jonny Ka$h.
959!!'''Lyre "xX_L11r_Xx" Gagneux'''
960!!!Tropes associated with Lyre:
961* DrugsAreBad: She's frequently thought to be high, and her habit of smoking can't do good to her blading ability.
962** She was not in China because she was arrested at the airport for being on and carrying drugs.
963* VocalDissonance: She has a very raspy voice.
964!!Coach '''Aldo "[=Hollyw33d=]" Hollywood'''
965!!!Tropes associated with [=Hollyw33d=]:
966* IncomingHam: He always leads Team 420 on stage blaring his airhorns.
967[[/folder]]
968[[folder:'''The Supa Hot Fighters''']]
969-> A team full of "martial artist masters", that are actually complete hacks.
970!!Tropes associated with the team:
971* MultinationalTeam: Li-Deul and Mi-yeong are Korean, Bruce and Kim are American.
972!!'''Bruce Liu'''
973!!!Tropes associated with Bruce:
974* BruceLeeClone: Only his name evocates Bruce Lee, and he fails to evoke the image or enforce any respect.
975* FakeSpecialAttack: Very fond of "jumping attacks". However, as his beyblade is airborne with nearly no vertical movement, this has the only effect of leaving his base open to attacks, usually resulting in a OneHitKill.
976!!'''Kim Starr'''
977!!!Tropes associated with Kim:
978* BadassBoast: Parodied. She brags about being "7th belt of Taek Won Do".
979* BoisterousWeakling: Her seven belts are all white, showing her beginner status. She's just as bad at blading as the belts would indicate she sucks at fighting.
980* FakeSpecialAttack: ''Death Starr'', which counts on the name to intimidate opponent. It's just some weird circular attack, as Kim doesn't understand what's truly going on during ''Death Star'', and thus can't even attempt to really mimic the attack.
981* RedBaron: Parodied with her "Seven-Belts" moniker: they're all white belts.
982* TooManyBelts: She wears the seven belts she brags about.
983!!'''Mi-yeong Gal'''
984!!!Tropes associated with Mi-yeong:
985* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: She looks utterly harmless, but being a Supa Hot Fighter suggests some level of WaifFu... but no, she '''is''' "just a girl".

989* FakeSpecialAttack: The only thing he can manage to do is intimidate opponents.
990* {{Kiai}}: What his "empty force" essentially is.
991* NotSoHarmless: As part of the XBL. His defense ability, while still overstated, is complemented by the rest's firepower in Germany's 3-on-3 matches.
992* SmallNameBigEgo: Claims to be a master of martial arts and beyblading, but fails to deliver.
993!!'''Danny Kang'''
994!!!Tropes associated with Danny:

996!!Coach '''Lida Gang'''
997!!!Tropes associated with Lida:

1002!!!Tropes associated with the Wicked Geniuses:
1003* EvilGenius: They have painted themselves into the trope by referring to themselves as evil because they were taking advanced studies.
1004* MauveShirt: They have somewhat more respectable performances than the other jobber teams, losing for the most part only to the heroes or the {{Arc Villain}}s.
1005* ThenLetMeBeEvil: The reason they're named '''Wicked''' Geniuses can be summed as "They wouldn't like us anyway."

1011* TrueBlueFemininity: Not in her dressing, but her blade is blue.
1012* UselessUsefulSpell: She can make her blade jump, even over an opponent's blade. The angle of the jump makes it unusable for attack and leaves her blade utterly defenseless against counterattacks or interceptions.
1013!!'''Ned Reynolds'''
1014!!!Tropes associated with Ned:
1015* DeathOrGloryAttack: His special attack, the ''[=TNT=] Cannon'', where he just flings his blade at the opponent. It can OneHitKO an opponent by functionally running them over, but Ned destabilizes his blade and throws it off the ground in his lunge to perform the move.

1017* HairTriggerTemper: He gets pissed at the smallest things.

1056* EvilIsPetty
1057* IronicName: Funny that Darius ''White'' is such an asshole.

1060* ASinisterClue: Darius is left-handed and clearly a douche.

1089!!!Tropes associated with Emiah:
1090* AngstDissonance: She regularly complains about irrelevant things. The trope is thrown at her face by Funanya when they battle in the Russian tournament.

1093!!!Tropes associated with Lena:
1094* BrainlessBeauty
1095* DumbBlonde: Not naturally, as her hair is obviously dyed, but she fits the stereotype.
1096* {{Hypocrite}}: She is known for trashing men, and then wonders why she can't get a boyfriend... which leads her right to trashing guys in a vicious cycle that she fails to notice.
1097* IdolSinger: However, she's failing as one because of the [[StrawFeminist anti-men]] vibe of the team contrasts with the love songs she's marketing.
1098* InsufferableImbecile: Whenever she says something stupid for the sake of being a StrawFeminist.
1099* ItsPersonal: In Germany, she took Emiah's departure from ''Girl P♀wer'' to join ''Ultimate D-Struction'' personally.

1101---> The European representative, she's from Germany. A follower who mindlessly follows the rest of the team.
1102!!!Tropes associated with Shannon:
1103* ExtremeDoormat: She's utterly subservient not only to her coach and captain, but to anyone in her team who will give her orders. In her one on-screen match in Germany, she is unable to choose between Lena and Nadia asking her for different choices of action.
1104* TheNicknamer: Calls her opponents by their nationalities as a dehumanizing mannerism.
1105* TheQuietOne: She is usually just wearing a [[PerpetualFrowner scowl]], rarely opening her mouth at all.
1106* ScreamingWarrior: She rarely speaks, but she's very loud when she battles.
1107* ThoseWackyNazis: Plays to a variety of stereotypes, with her loud and aggressive shouting, her playing with her ripcord like a whip, and her mindless subservience to her coach and teammates.

1121* BigEntrance: They spend more time doing entrances than they spend blading.

1133!!!Tropes associated with Bold Greg:
1134* BoisterousWeakling: He's very showy, loud, and intimidating, but those attributes don't help him win.
1135!!'''Tommy "Ballister" Lack'''
1136!!!Tropes associated with Ballister:

1138!!'''Bír Fallon'''
1139!!!Tropes associated with Bír:
1140* DeathFromAbove: Despite being an average Blader, he can pull off a ''gattai''. He's so good at it, he can even ''counter Sabri's Basara KO'' with one.
1141* HellBentForLeather: Enters with a leather jacket.
1142* NotSoHarmless: As part of The Ring, he doesn't pick up a major win. As part of the XBL, his ''gattai'' mows through bladers that would otherwise be better than him.

1145* BadassLongcoat
1146* InTheHood: His longcoat has a hood.

1163* [[StrongerThanTheyLook Stronger Than She Looks]]: She's able to lift Masud off the ground while hugging him [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength without noticing]].
1164* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's only sweet to Masud. Otherwise, she's dismissive and a bit hostile.
1165* TechnicianVsPerformer: She's the performer to Lily's tactician, favoring big flashy moves and yelling.

1180* GracefulLadiesLikePurple
1181* InnocentlyInsensitive: Sometimes she actually gives advice, and she gets called out on being condescending whenever she does.

1183* ParalysisByAnalysis: A frequent effect of her ComplexityAddiction.
1184* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Summer's red.
1185* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's generally talking to the others on the bench, but she doesn't say a word while blading.
1186* TechnicianVsPerformer: She's the tactician to Summer's performer, favoring precise movements and absolute focus.
1187
1188!!'''Nerys Morgan'''
1189!!!Tropes associated with Nerys:
1190* TheAce: She's clearly the more competent beyblader on the team.
1191* AlwaysSecondBest: She's not as cute as Summer, as stacked as Lily, or as friendly as Harmony. She's rather self-conscious about it.
1192* BrainyBrunette: She's more composedly smart in contrast to Lily's complexity-addict overly-thoughtful smart.
1193* CoolBigSis: She even played ShipperOnDeck for all the girls to admit their affections for Masud, complete with MatchmakerCrush.

1195* DullSurprise: She only looks mildly unconvenienced when losing in contrast to her friends' more visible reactions.
1196* GoGetterGirl: While generally a straight-A student and an achiever, her Beyblade record is not so stellar.
1197* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The reason she's perfectly content with sharing Masud is the guy's HaremSeeker nature.
1198* JumpScare: Likes doing it to lighten the mood. Summer always gets scared, even when she's not the target.
1199* MsFanservice: She shows more skin than the other girls for Masud, but he doesn't react to her more than the other girls.
1200* NiceGirl: She's generally calm and polite.
1201* OnlySaneMan: When compared to the rest of Ultimate D-Struction: [=Stanl337=], Emiah, and Qing. Nerys is clearly the only sane one.

1204* CuddleBug: Occasionally glomps her teammates, usually Masud.
1205* CuteClumsyGirl: She botches her first on-screen launch.

1212!!Coach '''Max Carson'''
1213!!!Tropes associated with Max:
1214* BreakTheHaughty: Hinted at only, but his occasional arrogance and DeadpanSnarker tendencies are his old self.
1215* DeadpanSnarker: On the odd occasion, he had a quip towards his team's more outlandish personalities.
1216* ExtremeDoormat: He serves as a coach just because the rest of the team needed one. Deconstructed, as this has lead him to terrible life decisions such as having sex and now having a kid, which he isn't ready for, and not only is he the butt of all the dad jokes, his financial situation is terrible to the point he had to drop out of school and pays a portion of his coach salary for child support to a kid he will never see due to losing custody.
1217* ImprobableAge: Team coach and a father, at age 16. He was forced into both.
1218* InnocentlyInsensitive: While the same age as the rest of the team, his status as a coach makes him unwittingly condescending, which shows up when he tries to give advice.
1219* LawfulPushover: He'll defy authorities before his teammates. Thankfully, Nerys and Masud are normal people and don't get him into trouble.
1220[[/folder]]
1221[[folder:'''Jetslash''']]
1222-> A team full of self-fashioned black-clad edgy teenagers.
1223!!Tropes associated with the team:
1224* TheAllegedExpert: Their grim and serious appearance suggests they're badasses, complete with a strong performance in Russia... which only adds to their relative incompetence.
1225* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: Their general schtick.
1226* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite their all-black wardrobe, they're not evil, simply antagonists.
1227* GrayscaleOfEvil: Their all-black outfits (and Adlynn's white hair) don't help them come off as anything but antagonistic.
1228* NotSoStoic: They always come in looking tough, but their façade instantly breaks when they lose.
1229* PerpetualFrowner: All of the bladers, unless they're wearing a cocky smirk. However, Adlynn and Lucy are exaggerated cases, since they never smile.
1230* PoorPredictableRock: In Russia, they demonstrate a propensity for using their switch on Round 2 to sic Adlynn on whoever they don't like. Nitemare proceeds to out this second-match switch by pulling one himself.
1231!!'''Cristover Cross'''
1232!!!Tropes associated with Cristover:
1233* BadassLongcoat
1234* DiagonalCut: Subverted: His ''Cross Cut'' attack never has the intended effect because it always whiffs.
1235* ThisCannotBe: Always screams "No way!" in a completely incredulous way as he gets destroyed.
1236* YouAreAlreadyDead: After doing his ''Cross Cut'', he always says something to that effect, but every time he either has to finish the job or gets destroyed while speaking.

1243* SunglassesAtNight: Only in the stadium does she take them off.
1244!!'''Adlynn Maddox'''
1245!!!Tropes associated with Adlynn:
1246* DressedLikeADominatrix: Her all black latex attire, complete with thigh-high boots and ZettaiRyouiki being the only skin shown.
1247* TheHeavy: In Russia, she serves as this for the team, being more prominent than Ender and Lucy (who are kept secret for as long as Jetslash can get away with), and Cristover and Keana (who are the frontline of the team).
1248* InTheHood
1249* {{Jerkass}}: She's the speaker of the group, and is dismissive and hostile towards the "normies".
1250* WhiteHairBlackHeart: The "evil" part is debatable, but she bleached her hair.
1251!!'''Ender Styles'''
1252!!!Tropes associated with Ender:
1253* HandwrapsOfAwesome
1254* InTheHood
1255* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Doesn't do him any good in the arena.

1258!!'''Lucy Knott'''
1259!!!Tropes associated with Lucy:
1260* CreepyChild: Alluded to, but her attitude coupled with the fact that she's no longer a child is what makes her creepy.
1261* DullEyesOfUnhappiness

1263* PerpetualFrowner
1264!!Coach '''Pax Maverick'''
1265!!!Tropes associated with Pax:
1266* FurAndLoathing
1267* RebelRelaxation: He never sits on the bench, always resting on the side of the team enclave, [[BadassArmfold arms folded]].
1268* RuleAbidingRebel: Due to his team being a YoungerAndHipper version of edgelords, Pax's portfolio of edge is simply summed up as mild swearing.
1269* SmugSmiler: He's frequently seen with a cocky smirk, especially when he uses his switch.
1270[[/folder]]
1271[[folder:'''The Domi-Nation''']]
1272---> An All-African team.
1273!!'''Calvin Pretorius'''
1274!!!Tropes associated with Calvin:
1275* AttackAttackAttack: He does nothing but attack. He's so insistent and impatient that he always goes first too.
1276* FeelingTheirAge: Calvin's career, like his ability, has taken a nose-dive in recent years. But he would never admit it.
1277* LeeroyJenkins: In Germany, the Domi-Nation is set to fight the XBL, a brand-new team that pulled a win against Jetslash by picking off a lone straggler... and Calvin proceeds to rush in, handing the XBL yet another easy win.
1278* PerilousOldFool: Persists in thinking he can throw down with the best even though he's no longer even in the top 100.

1283!!!Tropes associated with Sabri:
1284* StreetUrchin: Was one, still dresses like one.
1285* UselessUsefulSpell: His special move, the ''[[ShoutOut Basara KO]]''. Sabri knocks the opponent's blade straight upwards and juggles with it for a while before knocking it out. It's a needlessly-flashy move that gives the opponent an opportunity to counter if they manage to rebalance their blade mid-air, and if he can knock the opponent straight up, he could have just ringed them out.
1286!!'''Funanya Okorie'''
1287!!!Tropes associated with Funanya:

1289!!'''Soraya El Maleh'''

1295[[folder:'''The Grenier Front''']]
1296---> A team formed by Casimir Grenier, to take over the world of Beyblade... but they have very limited success.
1297!!!Tropes associated with the Grenier Front:
1298* BreakTheHaughty: The Grenier Front is made of pompous money-grubbers who think they can PayToWin every step of the way to the top of the world. Their relative subpar skill means they always end up losing upon meeting decent opposition.
1299* BribingYourWayToVictory: While they don't bribe the opposition, they '''bought Cores'''. Despite this, they never win a tournament.
1300* IdleRich: They're too busy living lavishly and trying to take over beyblade with their toys.
1301!!'''Jennyfer Jeanes'''

1304* WomanOfWealthAndTaste
1305!!'''Brice Baker'''

1310!!'''Mirka Grenier'''
1311!!!Tropes associated with Mirka:
1312* DaddysLittleVillain
1313* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She's [[BeautyIsBad beautiful]], [[AffablyEvil well-spoken]], [[WickedCultured well-educated]], and also a {{Sadist}} with entitlement issues so bad that whenever she starts losing, her face contorts with rage and she starts threatening her opponents.
1314* MafiaPrincess: Of the uncaring, SpoiledBrat variant.
1315* WomanOfWealthAndTaste
1316!!'''Tiana Hawkins'''
1317!!!Tropes associated with Tiana:
1318* BrainlessBeauty: She's a DumbBlonde who goes blading in extravagant dresses.
1319* PokeThePoodle: She's a bit of a prankster and like poking fun at things.
1320* TokenGoodTeammate: In being ObliviouslyEvil rather than evil up-front like the rest of the team.
1321!!'''Ella Brigham'''
1322!!!Tropes associated with Ella:
1323* AllJewsAreCheapskates: She's also shown to be trying to succeed Casimir as a CorruptCorporateExecutive.
1324* CatchPhrase: Lets out a OhGodWithTheVerbing every time she appears.
1325* GreedyJew
1326* InformedJudaism: She's only confirmed to be Jew by herself, but seems more concerned about filling the evil Jew stereotype than doing anything actually Jew.
1327* JewishAmericanPrincess
1328* ObviouslyEvil: Her claim for her desire to become "the next Casimir Grenier" becomes this in light of [[RetiredMonster Casimir's career]].
1329* SoreLoser: She doesn't like losing and will always find an excuse to absolve herself.
1330!!Coach '''Casimir Grenier'''
1331!!!Tropes associated with Casimir:
1332* BigBadWannabe: He wants to take over the world of Beyblade, but his team never manages to win a tournament.
1333* CorruptCorporateExecutive
1334* EvilOldFolks: He was an absolute monster when he was younger. In fact his track record is a reason that, after he acquires Cores, Heinrich makes sure to not give Cells to anyone that could end up giving them to Casimir.
1335* {{Jerkass}}
1336* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Despite his age, he's SirSwearsALot.
1337[[/folder]]
1338[[folder:'''The Breakbladers''']]
1339-> A parody of the Bladebreakers from [[Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade the original anime]], who fail at emulating the originals.
1340!!Tropes associated with the team:
1341* AffectionateParody: Of the Bladebreakers.
1342* CorruptedCharacterCopy: While the other Breakbladers are just weaker than the originals, Grant and Kuzma are this.
1343** Kuzma is based on Kai, except instead of growing closer to his team, Kuzma temporarily leaves the Breakbladers after their failed outing in Germany.
1344** Grant is based on Tyson, with a massive jealousy streak towards Kuzma's status as captain applied and turned into a sore point, on top of CharacterExaggeration turning him into a dense, boastful jerk.
1345* OppositesAttract: The three official couples in the team.
1346** Kuzma is an arrogant PerpetualFrowner, contrasting with easy-going PerpetualSmiler Thea.
1347** Grant is a scatter-brained loudmouth, contrasting Lai's quietness and focus.
1348** Tate is outgoing and surprisingly street-smart, contrasting with Nicky, who's socially awkward and nerdy.
1349* TheWorfBarrage: All of them have special moves, but they're never really any use against anyone relevant.
1350!!'''Thea Mackson'''
1351!!!Tropes associated with Thea:
1352* DumbBlonde: She's an airhead, and [[KnowNothingKnowItAll despite claiming to be smart, her theory is full of holes, mentioning only the strengths of her build as though there were no such thing as weak points]].
1353* FailedASpotCheck: Thea's blade reaches the upper weight limit. However, so does everyone else's. It is sadly very tall, leading most of the opponent's contact ring to go under hers and knock her blade over due to her ball-tipped base. The weight being focused inward also means that the blade's movement speed is horridly slow, making Thea unable to avoid combat.
1354* MinMaxing: Despite her claims of having the perfect defense build, her blade is actually a Stamina build.
1355* OneHitKill: Despite claiming to have a perfect Defense build, she is a frequent victim of instant knock-outs.
1356* PerpetualSmiler: With an exception that starts with Kuzma's RageQuit of the Breakbladers, and it only ends in France when Grant begs Kuzma to come back.
1357!!'''Tate Mackson'''
1358!!!Tropes associated with Tate:
1359* FailedASpotCheck: Tate never notices that his "defense build" is a lot better at attack than at defense due to his flat base.
1360* {{Keet}}: Downplayed, but he's generally upbeat.
1361* MinMaxing: Tate actually has a min-maxed Defense build. His focus towards defense against ring-out via his flat base ruins his stamina.
1362* PerpetualSmiler: Like his sister, he makes an exception in the French Arc, being justifiably pissed at Grant for causing Kuzma to leave.
1363* TheSmartGuy: Competing with Thea (who really is an airhead) and Nicky (who is a coach and not a beyblader anyway), but he lacks little by comparison.
1364!!'''Lai Qi'''
1365!!!Tropes associated with Lai:
1366* DeathOrGloryAttack: Her ''[[SpeedBlitz Claw Raid]]'' tires her out like it's Erik's ''Death Star''. (Fortunately, she recovers much faster than Erik.) It also [[FakeSpecialAttack consistently fails to adequately damage her opponents]].
1367* MasterOfNone: In contrast to her teammates' min-maxed builds, it looks like she doesn't know how she wants to play.
1368%%* OnlySaneMan
1369* TheStoic: She barely talks, and only ever raises her voice to calm down disputes between Kuzma and Grant.
1370!!'''Kuzma Zima'''
1371!!!Tropes associated with Kuzma:
1372* TheAllegedExpert: Pictured as a total badass with a strong offense blade, but always breaks his beyblades, and not always his opponents'.
1373* GlassCannon: His hyper-offense build's main weakness is that he often takes more damage than the opponent.
1374* GoombaStomp: His [[FakeSpecialAttack ultimate attack]]. Kuzma tends to miss the mark, however, and destroys his own blade in the process often, even when he succeeds.
1375* HaughtyHmph: His response towards the majority of his opponents, and Grant.
1376* MinMaxing: Kuzma plays pure offense, but his Beyblade is a GlassCannon, prone to self-bursting.
1377* RageQuit: In Germany, he leaves the team before the match ends when he is knocked out by Grant.
1378* RedBaron: He is often referred to as Destruction in Human Form.
1379** TakeThat: Donald refers to him as Self-Destruction in Human Form, and it sticks on Pete, who repeats the nickname every time Kuzma destroys his blade.
1380!!'''Grant Tyson'''
1381!!!Tropes associated with Grant:
1382* CharacterExaggeration: Grant is an {{Expy}} of Tyson, with his arrogance and recklessness is also amped up to eleven, resulting in a go-first-figure-out-why-I-lost-later type. Tyson's tendency to SnapBack his CharacterDevelopment is also exaggerated to things being very slow to stick on Grant.
1383* GreenEyedMonster: He's extremely jealous of Kuzma for being the team captain instead of him.
1384* HotBlooded: He's always extremely eager to battle.
1385* HowDoIShotWeb: Played with. Grant has a normal control chip, but he's known for his Sonic Grip ''(with a number that increases with every appearance)'' base, that creates such friction that the blade goes at insane speeds, out of control from Grant most of the time, and the blade has a tendency to throw itself out of arenas. Being unable to control his Blade makes Grant look like he's from 20-30 years in the past.
1386* MinMaxing: Grant, like Kuzma, plays a pure offense-type. However, Grant is focused on speed to the point that his Beyblade has no stamina, and Grant often loses control of it.
1387* MinorInjuryOverreaction: As far as Beyblade can go. His blade goes extremely fast, but each attack he takes (or lands) has an insane recoil effect on him due to his extremely poor choice of contact ring and his extremely fast base.
1388* SmugSnake: He's insanely full of himself for someone whose failure to control his blade makes him look like he's from 20 years in the past.
1389!!Coach '''Nicky Fish'''
1390!!!Tropes associated with Nicky:
1391* GamerChick
1392* LittleMissSnarker: She often points the failings of the bladers when they lose.
1393* NotSoStoic: Usually, she stays quiet, but in France, she is visibly hostile to Grant, who she blames for Kuzma leaving.
1394* OpaqueNerdGlasses
1395[[/folder]]
1396[[folder:'''Others''']]
1397!!Coach '''Sayo Naruto'''
1398---> A coach school reject who thinks she was too cool for normal learning. She attempts to prove it by making an awesome beyblade team, that she calls ''Ultimate D-Struction'', recruiting Qing from Generación E-GO, [=Stanl337=] from Team 420, Emiah from Girl P♀wer, and Nerys from the Lit Club.
1399!!!Tropes associated with Sayo:
1400* BribingYourWayToVictory: While less obvious than others, she bought herself her entry into the WBF coach school, and when that failed, bought Cells from the WBF in an attempt to cut out the middleman and grab success directly.
1401* TheFool: To a degree, but especially in Germany. She picks fights way above her level by entering, yet rolls through the majority of the tournament, as ''Ultimate D-Struction'' only faces off with the teams its members were MVP in beforehand. Adding to that, they now have Cells, so [[CurbStompBattle they win with absolute ease]]... until the face off with the Panzers, who absolutely decimate them.
1402* MauveShirt: While in no way protagonists, they are more notable names than other {{Jobber}} teams, though this applies more to their stint Germany.
1403* NeverGrewUp: Despite being nearly 30, she still acts like a 17-year-old anime girl.
1404* NeverMyFault: When kicked out of the coaching school, her conclusion isn't that she wasn't fit for this, but that the school couldn't handle her talent.
1405* NuSpeling: Played with as the name she chooses for her team is '''Ultimate D-Struction'''.
1406* SchoolIsForLosers: Her opinion on her coach school failure. Seeing how she does, nobody shares it.
1407!!Coach '''Victor [=McNiall=]'''
1408---> A promoter who makes his own special team in an attempt to break into Beyblade. He recruits Darius from Blogo Basement, Bír from The Ring, Richard from the Wicked Geniuses and Li-Deul from the Supa Hot Fighters.
1409!!!Tropes associated with Victor:
1410* ClarkKentOutfit: He's only a promoter, but he's buff under his suit.
1411* LargeHam
1412* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: A hallmark of his character. Since he's a billionaire, he can practically afford to do anything.
1413** He creates not one but two teams: the Ring and later the XBL. Both are given Cells bought from Moby.
1414** In Germany, he tries to [[BribingYourWayToVictory bribe opposing teams off]], and their introduction mentions that maybe their first match was thrown. But it never works after that, each time ending weirder and weirder until he ends up trying to bribe the Light Stones, having to pay a fine. And even then, he bribes Johann out of actually putting that on WBF records.
1415* SharpDressedMan
1416!!Coach '''Bernhard Rubinstein'''
1417---> A cut-throat German businessman. Following Casimir Grenier, he creates his own Beyblade team, the Diamond Cutters, recruiting into it Kuzma of the Breakbladers, Ender from Jetslash, Sabri from The Domi-Nation, and Ella from the Grenier Front.
1418!!!Tropes associated with Bernhard:
1419* AmbiguouslyEvil: He's associated with Casimir Grenier, but how evil Bernhard is himself is unclear.
1420* {{Foreshadowing}}: His team, the ''Diamond Cutters'' gets a moment in Germany, when Bernhard, flanked by Ella, shows up in Germany to recruit Kuzma in the aftermath of the Breakbladers' loss to the XBL.
1421* TheStoic
1422[[/folder]]
1423[[folder:TV Commentators]]
1424--> The TV commentators for Beyblade competition.
1425!!!Tropes associated with both:
1426* CombatCommentator: Of course. It's their job.
1427* HeterosexualLifePartners: To a degree.
1428!!'''Donald "the Don" [=McRae=]'''
1429---> The cool-headed one.
1430!!!Tropes associated with Donald:
1431* CloudcuckoolandersMinder
1432* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: When Pete calls him Don "the Don".
1433* TheStoic
1434* StraightMan
1435!!'''Peter "Salty Pete" Burns'''
1436---> The wacky one.
1437!!!Tropes associated with Peter:
1438* UsefulNotes/BritishAccents: He speaks with a Cockney accent.
1439* CuckoolanderCommentator
1440* InSeriesNickname: Donald always calls him Pete, others occasionally do.
1441* LargeHamAnnouncer: He likes to speak over any team entering to spice up the entrance.
1442* TotallyRadical

1446'''WARNING! Spoilers ahead!'''
1447----
1448!Introduced in Season 2:
1449[[folder:'''Individual Antagonists''']]
1450!!'''Calixte Lamoreaux''' and '''Soma Ueda'''
1451-> '''Calixte:''' Zin's assistant and trusty sidekick. He died while stalling the WBF to help Zin escape them, and the latter took profit of the confusion of his "bomber"'s crash to take his corpse and revive it with Heinrich's machinery. Calixte resurrects as the coach of Zin's SuperTeam in Season 2, and uses his newly acquired skills to the fullest against the WBF's increasingly pushy investigations.
1452-> '''Soma:''' Heinrich's assistant in research by his time in the WBF, and his only supporter. He got laid off several years after Heinrich after being diagnosed with lung cancer. He ran to Heinrich for help, but was sent to a hospital and fell into a coma. Heinrich then found Zin and took back Soma, and Zin saved his life in the nick of time. Though, his body was so weakened that Heinrich had to build a robotic body for Soma to live. Soma returns as the coach of Heinrich's SuperTeam in Season 2, fighting the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade.
1453!!!Tropes associated with Calixte and Soma:
1454* BadassTransplant
1455** Calixte's heart and lungs are high-performance pumps.
1456** Soma had lung cancer, and only survived with the help of Calixte's own lungs.
1457* CameBackStrong: Calixte was dead, Soma almost was as well. Both have come back with superhuman abilities.
1458* DesignatedPointMan: During Season 2, both are point guys, often engaging the WBF directly to ensure their teams' escape from potential capture. Their shootout with the WBF has Soma serve as the point man and Calixte as his assorted TheSneakyGuy.
1459* {{Foil}}: Calixte is a FragileSpeedster BadassTransplant {{Bishonen}} while Soma is a MightyGlacier BrainInAJar.
1460* ImprobableAimingSkills: Both. Soma manages to not hit anything with two gatlings continuously fired for a good dozen minutes, while Calixte manages to fire his handguns with extreme precision while moving at inhuman speeds.
1461* NotQuiteDead:
1462** Calixte died in the end of the Greek Arc. [[BackFromTheDead It didn't last]], thanks to Heinrich.
1463** Soma had lung cancer. Heinrich found Zin just in time to save Soma. Soma still had to go through years of coma.
1464* [[OneManArmy Two-Men Army]]: Calixte and Soma vs 100+ WBE soldiers is the setup of Season 2's LastVillainStand. Calixte and Soma win.
1465* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Calixte as the Sensitive Guy and Soma as the Manly Man, of course.
1466* UndyingLoyalty: Calixte to Zin and Soma to Heinrich, Zin and Heinrich being extremely close makes them a very tightly-knit crew.
1467!!!Tropes associated with Calixte:
1468* AscendedExtra: In-universe. He was "just a henchman with no particularity" in Season 1.
1469** FromNobodyToNightmare: From being viewed as resistance unworthy of mention by Dick to taking on a hundred World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade men and shooting Dick (non-lethally) in the process.
1470* EarlyBirdCameo: Calixte is featured in the first few episodes.
1471* TheFightingNarcissist
1472* ImplacableMan: Calixte is impossible to tire out.
1473* McNinja: Calixte is a French ninja.
1474* SuperSpeed: Calixte runs extremely fast due to his transplants.
1475!!!Tropes associated with Soma:
1476* BrainInAJar: Soma has very few organic components left in his body.
1477* ElectronicEyes: Soma has CoolShades to hide them, taking after Heinrich. While Heinrich drops the Quattro shades, he doesn't.
1478* GatlingGood: During the LastVillainStand that ends Season 2, he picks up a couple of heavy machineguns to stop the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade.
1479* ImplacableMan: Soma easily [[NoSell no-sells]] machinegun fire.
1480* MadeOfIron: Literally.
1481* SuperStrength: Soma. He is basically a cyborg by this point, and his "muscles" are actually hydraulic pumps.
1482* TerminatorImpersonator: A T-800-styled one: Soma is a hulk of a man with GlowingMechanicalEyes hidden by CoolShades. His immense strength is displayed by him DualWielding {{BFG}}s. He even fits most of the plot tropes, serving as TheHeavy for Season 2 (sharing that spot with his partner Calixte), and has a shootout with the World Beyblade Enforcement Brigade (with Calixte providing mostly unseen assistance).
1483[[/folder]]
1484
1485[[folder:''Kaleidoscope''\
1486'''Team Italy''']]
1487-> The Neoblade team that wipes the floor with Team Vatican right at the beginning of Season 2.
1488!!!Tropes associated with the team:
1489* {{Angst}}: They were all picked up from angsty situations.
1490* BadassAdorable: Season 3, most of them.
1491* {{Brainwashed}}: All of them during Season 2.
1492** BrainwashedAndCrazy: Sienna.
1493* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: We have Sienna and Azzurra as the RedOniBlueOni duo, Clara and Melanie for white and black respectively, and Flavia is the yellow.
1494* {{Expy}}: The team is, to a degree, Heinrich's spin on something similar to the Greek Team.
1495* GoodCostumeSwitch: All the members of the team have black parts on their outfits during Season 2, but their secondary color switches to pink for Season 3.
1496* ThreePlusTwo: Barring Cecilia. Clara and Melanie can be considered as a subgroup, while Flavia, Azzurra and Sienna have a BlondeBrunetteRedhead dynamic.
1497!!'''Flavia Agostini'''
1498!!!Tropes associated with Flavia:
1499* DishingOutDirt: Her most-used attack is an earthquake. She learns to use it without a Cell later on, but Finn uses a GoombaStomp, which hard-counters her attack.
1500* DumbBlonde: Downplayed in that she's intelligent enough, but not so much.
1501* EarlyBirdCameo: She makes one in Season 1. After being "made a fool of" by Min, she willingly gave in to Heinrich's experiments in hopes to rebound.
1502* ItsAllMyFault: Self-inflicted: she never got over her loss to Min and defined herself as a loser.
1503* JackOfAllStats: She has an adaptive Blading style.
1504** MasterOfNone: Sadly, she has no specialty, and until joining Neoblade, she was on a major losing streak after her loss to Min.
1505* WhosLaughingNow: Her goal is doing this on Min.
1506
1507!!'''Azzurra Brando'''
1508!!!Tropes associated with Azzurra:
1509%%* BlowYouAway
1510* LonelyRichKid: Her backstory before being taken away from home by Heinrich.
1511* OccultBlueEyes
1512* TheStoic: Very much so. Even though she talks very much for the average example, she has little variation to her voice.
1513* TrueBlueFemininity: For extra contrast with Sienna.
1514
1515!!'''Sienna Liuzzi'''
1516!!!Tropes associated with Sienna:
1517* AxCrazy: Starts as this, only she injures people with Beyblade.
1518* CuteLittleFangs: In Season 3. In Season 2, the fangs only show how crazy she is.
1519* EvilRedhead: Season 2.
1520* FieryRedhead: Her hair is a fiery red, and her attitude is just as fiery.
1521* FireIsRed: Hers is pure red.
1522* HotBlooded: Replaces the AxCrazy attitude with this in Season 3.
1523* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Season 2.
1524* RedFilterOfDoom: Her blade has this aura thanks to her Cell.
1525* StreetUrchin: She was a runaway orphan before being taken in by Heinrich.
1526!!'''Clara Torino'''
1527!!!Tropes associated with Clara:
1528* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: How she defeats Virgil: mimicking the ''Death Star'', just like he did to beat Marco.
1529* MotorMouth
1530* SugaryMalice: Thought to be this by the New Legion, but as it turns out she's just a sweet girl.
1531* TrueCompanions: Her lack of those despite her tons of [[FairWeatherFriend "friends"]] in her former life led her to embrace Heinrich's offer.
1532* VirginInAWhiteDress
1533* VisualPun: Her special attack is putting some flash in FlashStep.
1534* WhiteMage: Her fighting style is mostly defending and using energy to redynamise her spin if necessary.
1535!!'''Melanie Morello'''
1536!!!Tropes associated with Melanie:
1537* {{Adorkable}}: Season 3. When she isn't sarcastic, her social awkwardness results in this trope.
1538* BlackMagicianGirl
1539* DarkIsEvil: Season 2.
1540** DarkIsNotEvil: After her defeat. She keeps wearing black even as a face.
1541* DarkMagicalGirl: Take the colorful Virginia as her MagicalGirl counterpart.
1542* EmoTeen
1543* EvilWearsBlack: Even post-HeelFaceTurn.
1544* OddNameOut: All the other names in her team ends with the letter "a".
1545* TheQuietOne: The shy type.
1546* TheSacredDarkness: The little she speaks is it.
1547!!Coach '''Cecilia Poggi'''
1548!!!Tropes associated with Cecilia:
1549* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: She certainly thinks so, as she has some semblance of sight emulated by machines.
1550* CallBack: Her empty eyes, emotionless attitude and nigh-absence of speaking makes her a huge one to the Season 1 Greek Team.
1551* EmptyEyes: All the time, because she's blind.
1552* FourEyesZeroSoul
1553[[/folder]]
1554[[folder:''The Saint Guardians''\
1555'''Team Israel''']]
1556-> The Neoblade team that confronts the Greek girls in Season 2. For the same reason that the Greek carried a mythologic motif, they have an archangel motif.
1557!!Tropes associated with the team:
1558* ClonesArePeopleToo: They have very distinct personalities.
1559* LightEmUp: All of them use their energy in the form of light.
1560* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The Saint Guardians aren't really angels, only pleasant antagonistic wingless clones.
1561* SiblingTeam: Pose as such.
1562!!'''Gabriel Cohen'''
1563!!!Tropes associated with Gabriel:
1564* AffablyEvil: His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him handily beat Psyche while saying he'd much rather treat the team to a sweet dinner.
1565* ArchangelGabriel
1566* HandsomeLech: Prefers the thought of having dinner with a girl to the thought of dishing a CurbStompBattle to her.
1567!!'''Michael Cohen'''
1568!!!Tropes associated with Michael:
1569* ArchangelMichael
1570* LargeHam: He's easily the loudest member of his team.
1571* SophisticatedAsHell
1572!!'''Raphael Cohen'''
1573!!!Tropes associated with Raphael:
1574* ArchangelRaphael
1575* MakingASplash
1576!!'''Uriel Cohen'''
1577!!!Tropes associated with Uriel:
1578* ArchangelUriel
1579* PlayingWithFire
1580!!'''Salathiel Cohen'''
1581!!!Tropes associated with Salathiel:
1582* OddNameOut: He's the only blader in his team to not have the name of a biblical archangel.
1583* OlderAndWiser: To his team.
1584!!Coach '''Bethel Cohen'''
1585!!!Tropes associated with Bethel:
1586* ElegantGothicLolita: She dresses like one. She's notably the only one in her team to wear black.
1587* TokenMiniMoe: She's significantly smaller than the boys in her team.
1588[[/folder]]
1589
1590[[folder:''The Freed Lances''\
1591'''Team Poland''']]
1592!!'''Siegfried Appelbaum'''
1593!!!Tropes associated with Siegfried:
1594* AscendedFanboy: To Erik, though he vows to be a different person after their duel.
1595* BrokenPedestal: Idolized Erik until they met and Erik violently rejected him, causing his FaceHeelTurn.
1596* LovingAShadow: With awe rather than love, but he thought of Erik as someone different than he actually is.
1597* SpeedBlitz: His ''Wind Cutter'' special attack. This does not apply to the EarlyBirdCameo version, which was slower than ''Triangle Assault''.
1598!!'''Janusz Pietrowicz'''
1599!!!Tropes associated with Janusz:
1600* HandicappedBadass: At the beginning of Season 2, he's still sick, and yet he curbstomps Falk with little effort, like the rest of his team.
1601* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Averted: he is cured by Zin.
1602!!'''Marek Borowski'''
1603!!!Tropes associated with Marek:
1604* BashBrothers: With Siegfried. They cared for Janusz together and trained together so much that their blading styles are similar down to sharing their [[SpeedBlitz ''Wind Cutter'']] attack.
1605* EmotionalBruiser: In contrast to Tomko, and what makes him BashBrothers with Siegfried.
1606* GentleGiant
1607!!'''Longin Tomko'''
1608!!!Tropes associated with Longin:
1609* AloofBigBrother: To the rest of the team. He does care, but he does not show much emotion.
1610* TheBigGuy: Deceptively so since Marek's bigger than him outside the arena, but Longin is the powerhouse.
1611* TheLancer: To Marek. Even when Siegfried is here, Siegfried and Marek are so close that Longin has to act as this to both.
1612* LastNameBasis: He's called by his last name on the blading scene.
1613* TheStoic: He bears the weight of having to calm down Siegfried and Marek whenever they get too much of their revenge plan get to their head.
1614!!'''Ada Wadzinski'''
1615!!!Tropes associated with Ada:
1616* CoolBigSis / TeamMom: She is one of the two to everyone in her team but her coach Aleksy.
1617* DopeSlap: A frequent disher of those, mostly to Siegfried and Marek.
1618* FriendlyEnemy: Which annoys the Panzers to no end.
1619!!Coach '''Aleksy Kosnik'''
1620!!!Tropes associated with Aleksy:
1621* CoolMask: Wears a hockey mask for protection.
1622* NoodleIncident: How his face got mutilated is never explored.
1623* TheVoiceless: He needs a voice box to speak.
1624[[/folder]]
1625[[folder:''The Royal Vanguard''\
1626'''Team England''']]
1627!!'''Cassandra Wright'''
1628!!!Tropes associated with Cassandra:
1629* AttackAttackAttack: Her playstyle is very aggressive.
1630* DemotedToExtra: A meta example. She used to be a main protagonist before C-Square became C-Square.
1631* EarlyBirdCameo: She gets beaten by Marco in the first World Tournament.
1632!!'''Adam Rhodes'''
1633!!!Tropes associated with Adam:

1635!!'''Blair Bonner'''
1636!!!Tropes associated with Blair:

1643*
1644!!''???''\
1645Coach '''Darren Corra'''
1646!!!Tropes associated with Darren:
1647* TurnCoat: He has gotten sick of Moby's hamstringing him, and so he has turned to Heinrich.
1648* VillainousFriendship: He's got one with Heinrich and Soma. [[spoiler:It dates way back from when they worked together in the WBF, and is the genuine article.]]

1653!!'''Amar Dubey'''
1654!!!Tropes associated with Amar:
1655* DarkMessiah: Behaves like some kind of guru.
1656* TheFightingNarcissist
1657* ItsAllAboutMe: His egotistical attitude makes him actually unpopular within his own team.
1658* MotiveRant: He tends to rant about saving the world from the boring WBF in a way that reminds them of Heinrich when he had Amar's age. But this is mostly a lie as all Amar wants is to be on top of the world.
1659* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair bleached, and he is selfish to the point of evil.
1660!!'''Indra Sankar'''
1661!!!Tropes associated with Indra:
1662* BollywoodNerd: Down to the haircut and the glasses.
1663* TheComicallySerious: Generally reacts with bafflement to the rest of the team's odd personalities.
1664* DitzyGenius: At times.
1665* NerdGlasses
1666* TheStoic
1667* TechnicalPacifist
1668!!'''Devi Mitra'''
1669!!!Tropes associated with Devi:
1670* DistaffCounterpart: She's very similar to Amar. Indra and Kavi frequently make the comparisons, and both Devi and Amar hate it.
1671* GreenEyedMonster: To the younger girls who still have their {{Moe}} charm. And she dislikes guys who are into it.
1672* InsufferableGenius: Not only is she egotistical like Amar, she's female and older than him, so she uses [[WomenAreWiser these]] [[OlderAndWiser pretexts]] to ignore him like pretty much everyone else.
1673* VainSorceress: Behaves like one.
1674!!'''Kavi Singh'''
1675!!!Tropes associated with Kavi:
1676* PerpetualPoverty: The only one on the team who isn't wearing at least a golden necklace.
1677* TheSmartGuy: He duels with Wen over who of them is more intelligent. And while Wen is more cultured, Kavi's far [[SimpleMindedWisdom wiser]].
1678!!'''Lalita Patil'''
1679!!!Tropes associated with Lalita:
1680* DanceBattler: Dances while Blading, namely while using special attacks.
1681* FriendToAllLivingThings
1682* GenkiGirl: She fails at standing still, even mid-Beybattle she has to be moving around.
1683* JailbaitTaboo: She's 15, and a HormoneAddledTeenager. Her running to Indra for a hug only to get rejected in some way is something of a RunningGag.
1684!!Coach '''Surendra Sankar'''
1685!!!Tropes associated with Surendra:
1686* BodyPaint: His FacialMarkings.
1687* OnlySaneMan: To his team, shared with faithful son Indra (though Indra is not the sane man all the time).

1694* FieryRedhead
1695* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Subverted: While she is the strongest brazilian beyblader and is on Calixte's super team, that super team isn't very relevant itself.

1714* CombatCommentator: While a blader, she commentates her own matches.
1715* DemotedToExtra: She doesn't blade at all in Season 3, despite being on Souma's "super-team".

1725!!'''Fernando Guzmán'''
1726!!!Tropes associated with Fernando:
1727* PatrioticFervor: His blade is in the colors of his country flag: green, white and red.
1728* PlayingWithFire: His ''El Pimente Mexicano'' SignatureMove goes so fast around the opponent's blade that it creates sparks of fire, melting the opponent's contact ring and damaging it to the point of unusability. His C-Square enables the speed, protects his blade, and accelerates the process of destroying his opponent. Averted in Season 3: but his massively-lowered speed and the Power Ring's lower power render the move unusable.
1729!!'''Violeta Silva'''
1730!!!Tropes associated with Violeta:
1731* ButNotTooForeign: She's a cousin to Millaray, and as such is half-native-American.
1732* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly girl to Millaray's tomboy.
1733!!'''Tomás Hawk'''
1734!!!Tropes associated with Tomás:
1735* BruiserWithASoftCenter
1736* GentleGiant: He towers over the rest of the team at nearly 7 feet, but is also its main voice of reason.
1737* MagicalNativeAmerican: Subverted, while he makes his attacks look like such (arrows of PureEnergy), he admits that it is technology at work and his attacks only reflect his tastes.
1738* MaskedLuchador
1739!!Coach '''Thiago Sanchez'''
1740!!!Tropes associated with Thiago:
1741* AFatherToHisMen: He even consults with Tomás for team decisions.
1742* BadassBiker: Averted: his bike isn't a conventional bike that looks badass, but a cross-country bike, which is much more practical. On top of that, he isn't even a blader so none of his talents are shown.
1743* RedBaron: ''El Sancho''. Though, he's not a Blader.

1747!!'''Kenneth Sorensen'''
1748!!!Tropes associated with Kenneth:
1749* EarlyBirdCameo: Early in Season 1, he's the world's n°3, and Erik purposely targets him in the 1-versus-100 melee at the beginning. He also loses to Ryuunosuke in the World Cup.

1762----
1763!Introduced in Season 3:
1764[[folder:'''Individual Protagonists''']]
1765!!Coach '''Maria Granger'''
1766-> [[OfficialCouple Paul's girlfriend,]] whom he sends to Unica early in Season 3 in order for the team not to fall apart.
1767!!!Tropes associated with Maria:
1768* AdultsAreUseless: She starts way out of place leading the team, considering her attitude and her lack of charisma and competence as a coach. For a time, she follows Unica rather than leading them.
1769* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite looking unfit to lead compared to Paul, she quickly realizes [[TheHeart what type of coach the team needs]] and becomes just that in a couple of weeks.
1770* InnocentBlueEyes
1771* RoseHairedSweetie
1772* WomenAreWiser: Averted in regards to Paul and her. She was always the worst pupil of her coach classes, compared to Paul almost always scoring the best. She even dropped out because of it.
1773!!'''Sara Häuser'''
1774-> Gerhard's wife. She appears only in Season 3, when she helps Paul fit "back" into the WBF. She's a coach in formation at age 29, and one of Gerhard's pupils in psychology and Beyblading. Though she's supposed to be a spy, Dick assigns her to helping Nevaeh and Umberto as training for their teams.
1775!!!Tropes that apply to Sara:
1776* CoolBigSis: In Season 1, she is not seen physically, only through messages she sends to Gerhard; those messages imply she behaves like this to the Light Stones.
1777** TeamMom: To Virgil.
1778* EarlyBirdCameo: She is seen communicating with the team through Gerhard's computer as early as Season 1, but Season 3 marks her first appearance in the flesh.
1779* HitPoints: Beyblade-wise, endurance is her specialty.
1780* TheMole: In Season 3, much like Paul. [[SubvertedTrope The WBF knows that though, making her no more than a distraction...]] [[SilentScapegoat but one that allows Paul himself to be completely unhindered.]]
1781* NiceGirl: She doesn't have a mean bone in her body.
1782* PerpetualSmiler: Even Dick can't wipe the smile off of her face, though by this point the smile is a [[StepfordSmiler façade]] to hide her disappointment in the WBF and also to hide Paul from the radars.
1783* ServileSnarker: To the WBF in Season 3.
1784* SilentScapegoat: She's not open about being a scapegoat, but draws a lot of Moby and Dick's ire towards her to ensure that Paul does go unchecked.
1785* TheatricsOfPain: She oversells the attacks of her opponents against her blade when Dick assigns her as a training partner for the WBF's teams, to the point that Nevaeh quickly abandons the idea of her having some use. Abi and Finn, however, seem fond of picking on her.
1786* WindIsGreen: Her main element is wind, as her color of choice tells.

1790'''Team WBF''']]
1791!!!Tropes associated with the team:
1792* EliteFour: They were handpicked by Moby.
1793!!'''Garrett Miller'''
1794!!!Tropes associated with Garrett:
1795* TheAce: Sort of. He always was behind Erik, then over the duration of the plot Neoblade's material makes him irrelevant. But when the time comes that Neoblade equipment is banned? He shows that he can throw down at the same levels as Erik, complete with similar playstyle, to the point he becomes the figurehead of the Gold Standards.
1796* BrainyBrunette: Despite his massive ego and general apathy, Garrett is surprisingly knowledgeable about Beyblade.
1797* ChildhoodFriends: With Ashton.
1798* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Garrett has reddish-brown hair and green eyes. He's also the last main antagonist.
1799* SoreLoser: His EarlyBirdCameo in the first tournament has him refuse Ashton's defeat by CurbStompBattle and call authorities to disqualify Mnemosyne for cheating.
1800!!'''Malcolm Roddick'''
1801!!!Tropes associated with Malcolm:
1802* BadassBookworm: Malcolm is obviously very intelligent and knows how to apply his knowledge of the game in the stadium.
1803* BrilliantButLazy: As a result of failing to meet society's expectations of him as a genius, he has grown to not even try anymore for others out of spite, making him seem the part.
1804%%* CrazyJealousGuy: At his worst.
1805* DeadpanSnarker: He's often seen criticizing everyone and everything near him.
1806* InnocentlyInsensitive: He always fails to double-check himself whenever he's about to say something out-of-place, resulting in BrutalHonesty.
1807* InsufferableGenius: From his pride in his very high IQ, his academic failure, and his social insecurity, Malcolm is often abrasive and defensive.
1808* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: He has rocky relations with the rest of his team, apart from Cameron.
1809* JackOfAllTrades: Neither his Beyblade nor his beyblading style have any sticking point.
1810* OnlySaneMan: While he pretends to play the part, he's often just another part of the surrounding insanity.
1811* TheSnarkKnight: He constantly fusses over everything.
1812* TeenGenius: He was, but social pressure took its toll on him, so he gave up and turned to Beyblade.
1813!!'''Seong-mi Han'''
1814!!!Tropes associated with Seongmi:
1815* BraidsOfAction: A large ankle-length one.
1816* HonorBeforeReason: In her last fights, she refuses to use the Shotgun Launcher, even tossing it in disgust at Ryunosuke.
1817!!'''Mykola Korol'''
1818!!!Tropes associated with Mykola:
1819* PunchClockVillain: He's described as a Beyblading mercenary by the rest of the Gold Standards.
1820!!Coach '''Umberto Zambrano'''
1821!!!Tropes associated with Umberto:
1822* KarmaHoudini: Most of his bad guy status revolves around things outside Beyblade, but he doesn't even take a slap on the wrist.
1823* NoNonsenseNemesis: Despite his bit of attitude, he wants to put all chances on his side, and as such has little tolerance for complacency.
1824* PointyHairedBoss: Downplayed, to Aisling, being her superior despite being less competent as a coach then even her.
1825* ProfessionalButtKisser: Nevaeh considers him one, for being here due to being one of Moby's friends.
1826* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:When the Gold Standards' match starts going south, he bails immediately.]]
1827!!Coach-Assitant '''Aisling Doran'''
1828!!!Tropes associated with Aisling:
1829* OfficeLady: She's young, attractive, and her job is meant to last very short after which she'll be let go... [[spoiler:The trope ends up being subverted as in the end, she's promoted to Coach of the Gold Standards after Umberto splits.]]
1830* PluckyOfficeGirl: She's stuck doing menial tasks for Umberto. [[spoiler:She gets a promotion in the end.]]
1831* YouGetMeCoffee: A frequent target of this from Umberto.
1832!!Coach-Assitant '''Zephyrine Topper'''
1833!!!Tropes associated with Zephyrine:
1834* BeleagueredAssistant: As the Senior Manager for the WBF, she answers only to Moby, but trying to get him to make a move about Dick ''and'' managing the Gold Standards despite Umberto, on top of her usual duties, is more hassle than she'd like.
1835* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears during Dick's ultimatum as an operation supervisor.
1836* SurroundedByIdiots: She doesn't have a lot of respect for the people working around her.
1837[[/folder]]
1838[[folder:''The Dreambreakers''\
1839'''Team WBF''']]
1840!!!Tropes associated with the team:
1841* EliteFour: Nevaeh tries her best to make them this.
1842* GlorySeeker: All four are at least partly in it for the fame.
1843* MilitaryMaverick: Often compared to this, seeing as they're loose cannons who often disobey and disrespect their superiors.
1844!!'''Elina Ritz'''
1845!!!Tropes associated with Elina:
1846* TheAce: Be it to the Austrian team or the Dreambreakers.
1847* BoringButPractical: She says to Erik's face that she didn't learn the ''Death Star'' because it was far too inefficient and costly to her.
1848** It's actually subverted: her variation of the ''Triangle Assault'' has the same weakness she derides the ''Death Star'' for, just less obvious, which stings her when Erik survives long enough for his Middle Clutch Drive to kick in, lampshades the irony to her face, breaks out of her chokehold with a ''Lightspeed Shellbreaker'' (as a proof of his overcoming that weakness) and finishes her off with the ''Death Star''.
1849* DistaffCounterpart: To Erik, a partially-invoked example.
1850* DivergentCharacterEvolution: She boasts that she expanded upon Erik's ''Triangle Assault'' rather than his ''Death Star'' to become a different and more efficient blader than him.
1851* MegaManning: On Erik's ''Triangle Assault''. She even repurposed it for use it against a single foe, as her blade spins in a triangle around the enemy's own.
1852!!'''Finn Gilbride'''
1853!!!Tropes associated with Finn:
1854* AnAesop: Some time into his stint with the Dreambreakers, he realizes that he misses his friends in Ireland. [[AesopAmnesia But that still doesn't make him even try to]] [[{{Jerkass}} make friends with the Dreambreakers]].
1855* DeadpanSnarker: He's quick to run his mouth on witty one-liners.
1856* DirtyCoward: The reason he plays a defense build is because he refuses to be affected by others.
1857* TheGadfly: He likes annoying other people, especially his opponents.
1858* GoombaStomp: His attack of choice. He uses the Power Ring to cause an explosion that makes his blade jump.
1859* TheHedonist
1860* HotBlooded
1861* {{Jerkass}}: To himself, he's a ComedicSociopath. To others, he's just an asshole.
1862* JiveTurkey: Less so than Dwight, but he still uses YoungerAndHipper lingo than Elina or Abi.
1863* LargeHam: Tends to shout shrill excited cries when he makes his blade go flying.
1864* OnlyInItForTheMoney: After his {{Angst}} over missing his Ireland, he still stays with the Dreambreakers... [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk only because it makes a good buck]].
1865* RichBastard
1866* StoneWall: His usual playstyle, and even when he gets his accessories, his only goal is to avoid fighting for long enough to pull a [[GoombaStomp Spinning]] [[DeathFromAbove Fire]] [[OneHitKill Bomb]].
1867* TokenEvilTeammate: To the Irish team. While they're generally the FriendlyEnemy type, Finn only vaguely approves. In the Dreambreakers, Finn lets out all the TrashTalk he meant to say before.
1868!!'''Abigail Maria'''
1869!!!Tropes associated with Abigail:
1870* BrutalHonesty: She doesn't think twice before talking, so most often she ends up talking out her ass and insulting people.
1871* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Her Abi]]
1872* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Well, at least while she's on the team. Abi is much less abrasive when competition is not involved.
1873* {{Jerkass}}: She is a massive bitch. While cocky as well, Elina is comparatively quiet.
1874!!'''Dwight Metzenbaum'''
1875!!!Tropes associated with Dwight:
1876* BewareTheSillyOnes: He loves to cut raps, but he can throw down in the ring with the best.
1877* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears in early season 1, losing to Virgil in his introductory match.
1878* HotBlooded
1879* TotallyRadical: Punctuates his sentences with "yo".
1880!!Coach '''Nevaeh Landis'''
1881!!!Tropes associated with Nevaeh:
1882* BeleagueredBureaucrat: She's left to do a bunch of WBF dirty work, and when Dick puts her as coach of this team, she's stuck there [[BeleagueredBoss having to unify a team of 4 clashing egos in so little time]].
1883* HotLibrarian: Replace nerdy shyness by cold standoffishness that would make her a ScaryLibrarian if she was a librarian.
1884* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She tries to play the part to, but her superior is [[{{Jerkass}} Dick]], who encourages her team's more cocky and insulting antics as well as their BlackAndWhiteInsanity over her more detached way of handling the problem.
1885* ScaryShinyGlasses
1886* SternTeacher
1887* TheStoic: She remains cool-headed in her attempts to unite her team in spite of their sticking it to her constantly and refusing to work together.
1888!!Coach-Assitant '''Elva Jaun'''
1889!!!Tropes associated with Elva:
1890* AmbitionIsEvil: Elva's goal is to gain political power in the WBF by training the Dreambreakers to be the greatest team, and taking credit by any means necessary. She has no problem playing to the ambient MoralMyopia even though she doesn't think half of it — she just wants to get ahead. She is also portrayed as the most evil character introduced this season.
1891* CommanderContrarian: While not defying Nevaeh outright, her way of coaching the team when Nevaeh's not here clearly runs in the opposite directions.
1892* FollowTheLeader: In-universe, she's also out of the training school with a certification at 25 years old, making her something of a second Paul. [[SmallNameBigEgo She's nowhere near as humble as he is.]]
1893* LaserGuidedKarma: Her plan was to rise above and beyond being coach to the Dreambreakers. [[spoiler:In the end, her position is "just" coach of the Dreambreakers.]]
1894* SassySecretary: While an assistant, she's also full of sarcasm to Nevaeh and Nick.
1895* SmallNameBigEgo: She's a coach-assistant, but thinks herself far more important than Nevaeh or Nick.
1896* SmugSnake
1897!!Coach-Assitant '''Nick Best'''
1898!!!Tropes associated with Nick:
1899* AbsentMindedProfessor: He looks the part, but he knows what he's doing, even though he has to remind everyone that he's still very competent.
1900* CoolOldGuy
1901* EinsteinHair: For the part where he isn't bald.
1902* HerrDoktor: He's Swiss, but of Germanic descent.
1903* HypercompetentSidekick: While stuck as an assistant to Nevaeh, he is the WBF's chief engineer and the designer of all BF Blade products.
1904* MyGreatestFailure: The entire conflict between the WBF and Neoblade is a result of his firing Heinrich 15 years ago, which he labels a hot-headed, regrettable decision.
1905* NiceGuy: He stands as a contrast to the Dreambreakers' {{Jerkass}} tendencies, Elva's selfish ambition, and Nevaeh's absolute coldness.

1913--> [[LargeHam "HAAAAMMMM!"]]
1914* BigEater
1915* DumbMuscle: He's the captain not for his intelligence, but because he's the more sociable, by far.
1916* FieryRedhead: The only guy on the team to be a redhead.
1917* LargeHam: See BattleCry.
1918* TheIrishMob: Inspired by those at least in appearance.
1919* NoIndoorVoice
1920!!'''Maeve Fitzpatrick'''
1921!!!Tropes associated with Maeve:
1922* DrunkenMaster: She doesn't drink mid-battle, but she basically blades like one, just overall doing generic, unpredictable movements. Of course, this comes with the flaw that she never observes her opponent during the battle.
1923* EmotionalBruiser: She's very emotional and her approach to Beyblade is just fighting.
1924* HardDrinkingPartyGirl
1925* HotBlooded
1926!!'''Sinead O'Grady'''
1927!!!Tropes associated with Sinead:
1928* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Inverted, while she's a green-eyed redhead, her subdued personality and status as bottom of the barrel in the team make her anything but the most significant team member.
1929* TechnicalPacifist: She tries to avoid violence and attempts to calm the rest of the excitable team down.
1930* UnkemptBeauty: She is referred to as such by her teammates, mostly referring to her [[WhatBeautifulEyes green eyes]].
1931!!'''Murdock Pierce'''
1932!!!Tropes associated with Murdock:
1933* FightingIrish: Stereotypically so.
1934* GeniusBruiser: Mildly, but he is far more precise with his attacks than Shay, being a boxer. Doesn't stop the man from having a...
1935* HairTriggerTemper
1936* IKnowMaddenKombat: Downplayed, as underground boxing is still a fighting sport (which surprisingly is much less the case for Beyblade).
1937* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Doesn't have any special move. He just finds good timing to attack, and then he hits hard.
1938!!Coach '''Slaine [=McMahon=]'''
1939!!!Tropes associated with Slaine:
1940* EccentricMentor: She's one of the most loudmouthed coaches, and she looks more like a cheerleader squad's front figure.

1954* RedBaron: Brock "the Rock" Jackson, referring to his defensive blade. He called his Blade "the Rock", but the name stuck on him instead.
1955!!Coach '''Samuel Miller'''
1956!!!Tropes associated with Samuel:
1957* OlderAndWiser: Even among the coaches, his age and experience are rare.
1958* RetiredBadass: Averted, he was one of Moby's numerous stepping stones. He was in the top 10, but back then it just didn't mean all that much.

1966* MysticalWhiteHair: Her platinum blonde hair makes her appear as this, but she's also the first one to debunk any supernatural notion about herself.
1967* TheQuietOne: Has to do with her serious, focused nature.

1973* TheOneGuy: Except the team's coach, the team is full of girls, which makes him rather uncomfortable.

1993!!!Tropes associated with Cameron:
1994* SchoolIdol: How she got with Malcolm.
1995* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Mysie's Tomboy.
1996!!'''Duncan Buchanan'''
1997!!!Tropes associated with Duncan:
1998* TheBully: Implied. Malcolm's smartass mouth got him into trouble many times, but Duncan [[HypocriticalHeartwarming is the only one who gets to pick on him.]] He behaves the same way with anyone else in the team.
1999* DumbMuscle: Whether in the stadium or outside.
2000!!'''Mysie [=McPherson=]'''

2005!!'''Graeme Lay'''
2006!!!Tropes associated with Graeme:
2007* LeanAndMean
2008* NeatFreak: Hinted at, since he is always squeaky-clean.

2013
2014[[folder:''The Survivors''\
2015'''Team Philippines''']]
2016!!'''Zinnia Beato'''
2017!!!Tropes associated with Zinnia:
2018* BadassCape
2019* JerkassToOne: She despises Abi for being the new hotness and keeping her horrible attitude at that level. While Zinnia acknowledges she's kind of unruly, she's always more presentable than Abi.
2020* OlderAndWiser: An inversion: she's wiser than Abi for sure, but she's 4 years her junior.
2021!!'''Vidal Diaz'''
2022!!!Tropes associated with Vidal:
2023* CowardlyLion: He hates tensing up during fights as this tends not to look pretty.
2024* DudeLooksLikeALady
2025* LetsGetDangerous: There's two sides to Vidal: the pretty boy who doesn't like fighting, and an intense and focused fighter behind that.
2026* LongHairedPrettyBoy
2027* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Behavior-wise, to Abi and Zinnia. There's a side of him manlier than them.
2028!!'''Mario Mancilla'''
2029!!!Tropes associated with Mario:
2030* BigFun: He's slightly rotund and enjoys his share of beyblading, as well as just about everything in life.
2031* BrainsAndBrawn: Mario's the brawn to Luigi's brains.
2032* GoombaStomp: His standard mode of attack, though he only gets to use it with a Power Ring.
2033* {{Kamehamehadoken}}: His main advantage over Luigi is his attack power and this.
2034* NiceGuy
2035* OlderThanHeLooks: Mario is extremely small, but he's 23. Compared to his younger brother who is more normal in height, he seems a lot younger.
2036* TheQuietOne: Surprisingly, he's both this and somewhat HotBlooded.
2037!!'''Luigi Mancilla'''
2038!!!Tropes associated with Luigi:
2039* AlmightyJanitor: He is the only one who had the talent to make it to the World Tournament in Season One.
2040* BigLittleBrother
2041* BrainsAndBrawn: Mario's the brawn to Luigi's brains.
2042* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears in the World Cup in early Season 1, causing much outrage over the time he took to win (slower than Min, who dragged out her match on purpose), and then losing to Vlad.
2043* LazyBum: He only bothers to do few things, and in battle he relies on his defensive stamina build to keep himself in the match, tank enemy assault and outlive his opponent.
2044* SpringJump: His SignatureMove emulates one. Not used for a GoombaStomp, simply to reduce ground friction and stay mid-air for as long as possible, saving as much time as possible.
2045* {{Troll}}: In the Beyblade arena. His tactics simply revolve around winning by doing absolutely nothing.
2046!!Coach '''Jose Ortiz'''
2047!!!Tropes associated with Jose:
2048* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He does not like to see infighting within the team, and therefore has to tend to the various disputes Abi gets into, as well as Zinnia and Mario's occasional heads-butting.
2049[[/folder]]
2050[[folder:''The Frameseekers''\
2051'''Team Korea''']]
2052!!!Tropes applying to the entire team:
2053* SuperReflexes: Myeong-suk's brand of training is specifically aimed at teaching this. As a result, while the team looks underwhelming, they can crush any underestimating opposition with ease.
2054!!'''Myeong-hwa Chang'''
2055!!!Tropes associated with Myeong-hwa:
2056* BrilliantButLazy: She dislikes effort due to her constant drowsiness, but not only can she keep herself awake all the way through all of her matches, she's also quite dangerous in the stadium due to her fast blade and quick reflexes.
2057* BoringButPractical: Her blading style is usually passive and revolves around her blade's endurance and mobility to dodge most enemy attacks and outlast her opponent.
2058* EyesAlwaysShut: Almost. When she shuts them in the middle of a Beyblade match, she's getting dangerously defensive.
2059* HeavySleeper: She's got a mild case of narcolepsy.
2060* StrongFamilyResemblance: It's not here anymore, but Myeong-hwa is the spitting image of her mother Myeong-suk when she was young.
2061* SuperSpeed
2062!!'''Seo-yeon Lee'''
2063!!!Tropes associated with Seo-yeon:
2064* JackOfAllTrades: She embraced the fact that while she's not outstanding at anything, she's very decent at anything, and as such adapts her style to her opposition.
2065* SkilledButNaive: So much. Her extremely good reflexes, mobile blade and her ability to do pretty much anything possible put her very high on power rankings, but her lack of foresight or planning ruins her technical prowess.
2066!!'''Jin-su Baek'''
2067!!!Tropes associated with Jin-su:
2068!!'''Ju-won Baek'''
2069!!!Tropes associated with Ju-won:
2070* AttackAttackAttack: His main strategy is to corner his opponent before they get to think.
2071!!Coach '''Myeong-suk Chang'''
2072!!!Tropes associated with Myeong-suk:
2073* IWasQuiteALooker: She's got a few wrinkles and grey hair to her name, but in the past she was the spitting image of her daughter Myeong-hwa.
2074* NeverMessWithGranny: She's not a grandmother yet, but not only is she still doing well, she can also still throw it in the arena and catch her own students off-guard during training.
2075* OlderAndWiser: She's very calm and laid-back, and speaks little, but well.
2076* ReluctantRetiree: When her daughter entered official Beyblade competition 2 years before, she fell subject to this due to [[FeelingTheirAge feeling her age catch up to her]]. She can still boast a 36-years career, much longer than ''Moby'''s own 25.
2077* TeethClenchedTeamwork: She isn't very happy to work with Samuel. Or that the SuperTeam Seong-Mi is in also hosts Garrett, Samuel's protege.
2078* WhenIWasYourAge: She's not afraid to mouth off to others by mentioning she entered Beyblade competition at the age of 16, and remained in the top 10 through the vast majority of her career. Or to dismiss the new technology as simple toys, as she liked it better back [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer when all one had was their Beyblade]].

2081[[folder:''Skillz That Killz''\
2082'''Team Canada''']]
2083!!!Tropes associated with the team:
2084* XtremeKoolLetterz
2085!!'''Carl Metzenbaum'''
2086!!!Tropes associated with Carl:
2087* GreenEyedMonster: To Dwight.
2088* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: He speaks like Dwight, though to a lesser degree than him.
2089* SpamAttack: Nicknamed "angry lil' bro attack" by Frederick and Brittany, he has one where his blade rushes while performing extremely fast successive strikes.
2090* UnrelatedBrothers: Subverted: Carl being white and Dwight being black makes it look like the trope is played straight, but they actually are brothers.
2091* UnstoppableRage: He doesn't have a special attack, he just has this and starts attacking whatever possible.
2092!!'''Frederick Badder'''
2093!!!Tropes associated with Frederick:
2094* BadassArmfold: Fond of having his arms folded when sizing up an opponent or sitting on the bench and waiting for his turn.
2095* BirdsOfAFeather: His general rebellious and disrespectful nature gets him together with Brittany.
2096* FlippingTheBird: He does this to Fernando after [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly defeating him]].
2097* HeroicBuild: But he's an antagonist and muscles serve little purpose in blading.
2098* {{Jerkass}}: In general, to any opponent.
2099* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are a reddish brown, but redder than his hair.
2100* SpikyHair
2101* UnskilledButStrong: He pulls a noticeably less good launch even with the Shotgun Launcher because he is unused to grip launchers, and on top of that he skips on using the Shotgun up until he needs to.
2102!!'''Devon Jones'''
2103!!!Tropes associated with Devon:
2104* ACupAngst: Low-key, but she's a bit jealous of Brittany.
2105* ButNotTooForeign: She's actually half-Japanese, half-American, with her family having moved in Canada.
2106* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Since she's often benched, she ends up sometimes doing the splits on the floor, hanging down from the top of the ceiling, or standing on her hands. [[TheComicallySerious And if addressed she'll talk as though nothing's wrong.]]
2107* RedOniBlueOni: By contrast to Brittany, she's more calm and subdued.
2108!!'''Brittany Higgins'''
2109!!!Tropes associated with Brittany:
2110* BigBreastPride
2111* CatholicSchoolGirlsRule
2112* KnuckleCracking: Sometimes.
2113* RedOniBlueOni: By contrast to Devon, she's clearly more outgoing and fiery.
2114* SirSwearsALot: Not to the degree of Dwight or Cole, but it might be more noticeable coming from a girl.
2115!!Coach '''Cole Treadwell'''
2116!!!Tropes associated with Cole:
2117* CoolTeacher: His hot-headed, disrespectful ways seem to have made him look like this to Dwight and Carl. He's mellowed out a bit, though he's definitely in favor of working the opponents before a match.
2118* SirSwearsALot: In fact, he was briefly blackballed by the WBF for insulting an interviewer while dissing one of his opponents, and punching one of his teammates because he was being switched out by his coach.
2119[[/folder]]
2120[[folder:''The Mainshots''\
2121'''Team Ukraine''']]
2122!!'''Mykyta Korol'''
2123!!!Tropes associated with Mykyta:
2124* ExtremeDoormat: He's widely perceived as one of these, much like his older brother Mykola. He's not.
2125* HypercompetentSidekick: Mykola thinks Mykyta should've been part of the Gold Standards.
2126* NervesOfSteel: He does not lose his composure on screen, or break out of his [[PerpetualFrowner serious expression]].
2127!!'''Borys Dragan'''
2128!!!Tropes associated with Borys:
2129* DiscoDan
2130* EarlyBirdCameo: He gets a bit of the spotlight in the first World Tournament, where he loses to Raimund.
2131!!'''Vasyl Spivak'''
2132!!!Tropes associated with Vasyl:
2133* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly acts bewildered as he's not pleased with the team's situation, and not afraid to tell anyone.
2134!!'''Lyuba Stellmach'''
2135!!!Tropes associated with Lyuba:
2136* PomPomGirl: As a blader, she's usually a backup, so she also serves as a cheerleader for Borys.
2137!!Coach '''Fedyr Krajnik'''
2138!!!Tropes associated with Fedyr:
2139* EveryManHasHisPrice: The main reason for tagging his team with Moby is the financial support for him and the blooming Ukrainian Beyblade Federation.
