Biography

Gantetsu Kijima is a manga-exclusive Beyblade Burst character who challenges Xander Shakadera to a revenge match at the Shakadera Dojo after an earlier humiliating Burst Finish loss in front of female students. Fighting with Kerbeus Central Defense, he loses again once Xander has upgraded to his Xeno Xcalius Beyblade, cementing his role as a one-off rival used to showcase Xander's growing power rather than a recurring figure in the story.
