Biography

Lupinex is the Dark Bladers' werewolf and Sanguinex's younger brother, a snarling attacker whose wolf bit-beast Lycanlor hunts in tandem with Draculor. He is the group's muscle and its loudest voice, more interested in frightening an opponent than out-thinking one, and he is short-tempered and sharp-tongued in exactly the way Johnny McGregor is — which is pointed, since losing to Johnny is what cursed him into this shape. He and Sanguinex take Tyson and Max two-on-two in the dark of the tunnel between England and France, and the four of them fight the whole team again under the Eiffel Tower. His name comes from lupine, for wolf.

Personality

How They Behave

Short-tempered and sharp-tongued, which — given the history between their teams — makes him very much Johnny's opposite number.

Story by season

Where the seasons take them

Beyblade (2001)

Dark Bladers

A loss to Johnny McGregor is what left Lupinex snarling and four-legged, and the temper he shares with the boy who beat him never lets him forget it. He and Sanguinex corner Tyson and Max together in the pitch dark of the Channel Tunnel, Lycanlor hunting alongside Draculor while Lupinex does most of the shouting and none of the thinking. He wants opponents rattled more than out-maneuvered, and it costs him the fight. Weeks later he lines up with the other three Dark Bladers under the Eiffel Tower for one last try at the whole Bladebreakers roster, and loses that battle too, the curse still unbroken when the pursuit ends.
