Tsubasa Ootori

Оригінальне ім’я: 大鳥翼

A mysterious, mostly calm character who first appeared in ep. 24 of Metal Fusion. He is always accompanied by his feathered eagle-friend. Tsubasa first meets Gingka in a forest where he defeats a group of bladers who were ganging up on him with ease. Gingka and Tsubasa join the next tournament together and he is the opponent for the episode. His beyblade is Aquila, also known as Earth Eagle. __Season 1, Beyblade Metal Fusion:__ ~! Right after Gingka won the tournament, he noticed that Tsubasa had given him hints on how to win before and throughout the battle. Tsubasa never confirms whether or not he was just testing his skills and they part their ways after this fight. From ep. 26 to ep. 37, Tsubasa got involved with Doji's company 'Dark Nebula' to investigate their true goals behind organising Battle Bladers and Ryuga's forbidden beyblade L-Drago. He works as an undercover agent of the WBBA and his goal is to defeat Ryuga, who is the strongest blader of the season until he is defeated by Gingka. In ep. 35, he began to move around inside the company to find out information about Ryuga's beyblade and how to win against it. While doing that, he found one of the battles he had against Gingka and the truth about Ryuga's beyblade. After learning all that, he's no longer a part of Doji's company (according to ep. 38). On the rooftop of the Dark Nebula building, he is cornered by Doji, Yu, Ryuga and other members of the organisation before he gets saved by Phoenix. In ep. 39, he finally introduces himself as a member of WBBA to Gingka and his group. He also became one of his friends and rivals. He lost to Ryuga in the second round of the Battle Blader tournament. Because of this battle, he's hurt badly (and unconscious) from getting his beyblade energy stolen by Ryuga. Fortunately for Tsubasa, Hikaru, Kyoya and other victims of L-Drago, their beyblade energy was released again after Gingka defeated Ryuga in the final battle. According to Japanese wiki, he appeared as one of 3 knights of Doji's company in the manga and his outfits, eyes, etc. were different from the Anime. His eyes were closed often in manga. He is part of Dark Nebula's Dark Trident group, consisting of also Yu and Reiji. They also all have Dark Moves in the manga.!~ __Season 2, Beyblade Metal Masters (Baku/Explosion):__ ~!In the beginning of season 2, he develops a great fear of losing in the battle since his loss to Ryuga in season 1 and L-Drago infecting him with the dark power during Battle Blader. His dark side gets triggered during the World tournament qualification battle against Kyoya, which would determine if he was to get a spot in the team or not. Kyoya won, but decides not to join the team, so both Yu and Tsubasa have another chance to join the team. When the dark power awakened inside of Tsubasa, he started to become afraid of battling because he would often change to his dark personality. As a member of Japan's team Gangan Galaxy, he lost his first battle against Chiyun and continues to go berserk during his battles. As time went on, he even ends up in the hospital due to his dark side taking control over him. The dark Tsubasa would tell him to stop being a good boy and show his true colors and that it was him who even called him to become stronger to begin with. He breaks out of the hospital and once more goes berserk in Team Excalibur's member Julian Konzern's garden until Ryuga tells him to become one with the darkness and to stop fighting it. Thanks to that and the support of his friends, he soon ends up overcoming it. He also remembers that as a kid, he lost against in a beyblade battle against a cheater and he developed so much hatred that he almost fought back with the same methods. However, what also helps him overcome the darkness is the fact that he also remembers that he actually ended up winning over the cheater in a fair battle. After the fight against the Garcias, Tsubasa and Yu get knocked out by Damian Hart and can't participate in the final battle against the American team. After Gangan Galaxy wins, the HD Academy's true goals get revealed and both Yu and Tsubasa join the team again to stop them from destroying the world with the Spiral power.!~ __Season 3, Beyblade Metal Fury (4D):__ ~!Even though he's not a legend blader, he supports the legend bladers in fighting against Nemesis at the end of the series as a member of WBBA (order of Ginga's father). During the season, he participates in the Tower of Babel tournament, as well as the Destroyer Dome battles. He doesn't however participate in the tournament that Gingka and his friends are hosting to awaken Masamune's Ray Striker.!~ __Zero-G:__ ~!Tsubasa is now grown-up and is supporting the new generation of bladers as a director of WBBA after Gingka's father. After the Nemesis crisis, people only started to slowly gain back interest in beyblading and the cast from the first three seasons set it as their goal to bring beyblading back to its former glory. Their goal is to start a new World tournament.!~
