Metal Fight Beyblade - Chapter 16

Gingka and Phoenix continue their training battle, which Phoenix wins, restoring Gingka's smile despite his earlier loss of Blader spirit to L-Drago. After nearly a week of failed attempts to learn Galaxy Nova, Doji ambushes them with Dark Wolf, revealing that Phoenix is secretly Gingka's father, Ryo. Ryo explains he survived his fall by developing Galaxy Nova during recovery while hiding from Dark Nebula. Gingka then defeats Doji and finally masters Galaxy Nova ahead of the tournament.
