Biography
Rasputin is a minor, anime-only character from the original 2000 Beyblade series, drawing on the name of the real historical mystic. According to Boris Balkov, this evil monk plunged Russia into chaos centuries ago and forged one of the most dangerous Beyblades ever made, Black Dranzer, using black magic — a Beyblade so volatile that no one could master it until it reached Kai Hiwatari. His soul is implied to have been twisted by the same corrupting power Black Dranzer later tries to use against Kai. Every reference to him was cut from the English dub.
No Blader Profile yet: nothing we hold describes how Rasputin actually battles, and we rate from results on screen or on the page, not from a guess.
