Biography

Crusher — Moses in Japan — is BEGA's giant, tattooed and armed with a gun-shaped launcher, whose bit-beast Gigars hits as hard as the name suggests. He is also the league's most sympathetic member: he blades professionally to pay for his little sister Monica's medical treatment, and Boris's money is the only reason he tolerates Boris. He hands Tyson an early lesson in what BEGA's professionals can do, then meets Ray in the Justice 5 in a match that destroys his own Beyblade and has Monica at ringside for the whole of it. Blackmailed into sabotaging Tyson before the finale, he refuses, and ends up standing with the others against Boris.

Appearance and personality

What They Look Like, and How They Behave

A large young man, he carries a tribal tattoo on the right side of his face. His orange-and-black hoodie, marked with yellow straps, has its sleeves rolled up over a teal tank top, and he pairs it with beige shorts, teal shoes and white fingerless gloves finished with a brown cuff.

The intimidating build and oversized gun launcher mask a genuinely decent person: he refuses Boris's instruction to sabotage Tyson's bey before the Brooklyn match rather than win by cheating, and holds back from a planned attack on Tyson and Dragoon ahead of the final Justice 5 battle. He plays every match straight, going back to his very first bout with Tyson. Underneath the muscle he's remarkably soft-hearted, moved to tears more than once by thoughts of his ailing sister Monica — including when she hands him a doll she made of him, prompting him to vow he'll win his match against Ray for her — and again when he can't bring himself to finish a mission he and Ming Ming were blackmailed into, because he knows deep down it's wrong.

Story by season

Where the seasons take them

Beyblade G-Revolution (2003)

BEGA League / Justice Five

Crusher blades professionally for one reason: Boris is paying for his little sister Monica's operation, and that debt is the only leash Boris needs. He throws down against Tyson the first time the G Revolutions visit BEGA's building, cracking Dragoon's attack ring before losing to a late comeback. His Justice 5 match against Ray means more to him than any tournament ever has — it lands the same day as Monica's surgery — and he wins it, wrecking his own Beyblade in the process, then breaks down crying and hugging Ray once it's over. The night before the tiebreaker, Boris blackmails him with Monica's medical bills to sabotage Tyson's Dragoon; Crusher goes through with the setup but stops himself at the last second, choosing his own honor over Boris's threat.
