Biography
Busujima is a minor recurring antagonist across the Metal Saga, leading a local gang that steals Beypoints and crushes opponents' Beys much like the Face Hunters. Ruthless with his Rock Scorpio T125JB, he seizes a stadium from local kids, kidnaps a child to ransom Kenta Yumiya's points, and rigs a stadium against Sora Akatsuki — only to be defeated fair and square once his tricks fail. He resurfaces harmlessly in later seasons, competing in (and losing) national qualifiers, and even cameoing to lend Gingka strength for the final battle against Nemesis.
Appearance and personality
What They Look Like, and How They Behave
Busujima is thin and medium-skinned, often wearing an unsettling smile. His dark blue hair is spiked with yellow in a pattern echoing a scorpion's shell, gathered into a ponytail that stands in for the stinger. He dresses in a brick-red jumpsuit under a short, open purple jacket with oversized green pockets and torn sleeves, large spiked rings on his shoulders and matching spiked bracelets on his wrists, plus brown fingerless gloves. A grey belt with a yellow crescent buckle carries his launcher and Bey holster. Grey protrusions run down the sides of his jumpsuit legs, his knees are covered by purple guards edged in grey, and his boots have metal reinforcing the sole, toe and heel.
As a gang leader, Busujima carries a genuinely evil streak, fixated on crushing opponents and proving his dominance over everyone else in Beyblade. His Rock Scorpio is a powerful Bey, yet he still loses more battles than he wins, and on the rare occasions he does whatever it takes to come out on top, the sheer obsession with winning shows through.
