Biography

Daichi Sumeragi is the wild mountain boy who crashes into G-Revolution demanding a match with the world champion and never really leaves. Loud, greedy, airsick and prone to fistfights with Tyson, he is the show's comic relief and also fearless in the dish, driving his earth dragon Strata Dragoon — his father's gift, and originally Gaia Dragoon — into opponents with twice his experience. The cutting-tool moves are a inheritance too: his father was a logger who died saving his crew from a falling load. When the tag format splits the Bladebreakers he becomes Tyson's reluctant partner, and the bickering slowly turns into a real partnership on the way to a world title. He opens the Justice 5 against Ming-Ming and is on the floor for the final battle with Brooklyn. He first turns up, outside the story proper, in the V-Force film.

Appearance and personality

What They Look Like, and How They Behave

Short, with spiky dark red hair, heavy eyebrows, green eyes and an X-shaped scar in the middle of his forehead. He wears a torn sleeveless blue shirt, wristbands close to his hair colour, and pale jeans ripped on the left leg over a black belt with a bronze buckle. The film cuts the sleeves off entirely and crops the long trouser leg; G-Revolution tidies him up, rolling the sleeves and leaving the leg intact.

Young, loud and permanently at full speed. He never concedes a match and trains harder than anyone, and he is also the comic relief — airsick, always eating, always needling Tyson. The confidence is a real weakness: he loses battles he should win by overplaying them. Where he grew up there were no stadiums, so he learned on water, on mountains and in forests, and the outdoor style stayed with him.

Story by season

Where the seasons take them

Beyblade G-Revolution (2003)

BBA Revolution / G Revolutions

Crashing into the story demanding a match with the world champion, Daichi corners Tyson before he has even earned the right to be taken seriously, and the fistfights that follow settle almost nothing between two equally stubborn bladers. The new tag format forces them together anyway once the rest of the Bladebreakers scatter, and their bickering slowly, grudgingly, cooks into a working partnership strong enough to carry them through the round-robin toward a world title. He opens the Justice 5 against Ming-Ming to get the rebel alliance's campaign against BEGA started, and by the time Brooklyn's final battle with Kai arrives, Daichi is on the floor of the stadium rather than the sidelines, watching the fight his own path made possible.

Rivals & bonds

Known associates

  • Tyson Granger partner and rival
  • Kai Hiwatari beats him in the Japanese qualifier
  • Tala Facing an abbey-trained veteran early in the tag tournament gives Daichi one of his toughest tests, a fight that pushes his raw talent hard against real experience.
  • Rick Anderson Round-robin play throws Daichi against Rick's All Starz roster, a rivalry built more on competitive friction than any real animosity between them.
  • Ming-Ming Opening the Justice 5 against BEGA's pop-idol blader Ming-Ming lands Daichi the first blow struck in the rebel alliance's campaign against the new league.
  • Hilary Tachibana Hilary's exasperation with Daichi's insults is basically constant, though the nicknames and shouting matches read more like a sibling routine than any real hostility.
