Biography

Melos Nekota is a minor, hot-tempered opponent who faces Daigo Kurogami in the early episodes of Beyblade Burst. Confident because of a type advantage, he gets baited into anger when Daigo boasts he'll win in five seconds, and true to the taunt, loses almost immediately. His brief appearance mostly serves to showcase Daigo's brashness rather than develop Melos himself.

Appearance and personality

What They Look Like, and How They Behave

Melos has brown hair and blue eyes, and wears a white sweater with red sleeves whose collar flares out to resemble a lion's mane. He pairs it with plain black shorts and a pair of yellow sneakers, keeping the rest of the outfit simple.

Melos runs short-tempered, growing visibly frustrated when Daigo Kurogami predicted he'd beat him in five seconds flat. He carries a certain cockiness into battle too, banking on the type advantage between their beys to guarantee him the win.
