## Blue BeetSuper Blue Beet

*"Blue Beet!"*
-His catchphrase after his transformation.
**Takuya Kai** (甲斐 拓也, *Kai Takuya*?)/**Blue Beet** (ブルービート, *Burū Bīto*?) is 23-year old insect researcher at the Earth Academia. He is the first to meet Guru in the South American rainforest, he was also the first to gain a B-Commander and use his suit. As Blue Beet and leader of the team, his armor was modeled after a Kabutomushi (helmet beetle). A blood sample from Kai was used by the evil sorcerer Jagul in the creation of his evil clone Shadow with the help of a Kamikirimushi (long-horned beetle). Blue Beet's Beet Machine is the Beetluder.

In episode 36, Blue Beet gained the ability to evolve into Super Blue Beet, with four metallic insectoid wings extending from his back and Plasma Dischargers, growing from his wrists and ankles. He transforms to Super Blue Beet with the command "Metal-Phose!" (メタルフォーゼ *Metarufooze*), and in this mode he can employ the full power of the Beet Ingram. Energy is collected in his wings and is then transferred to the Beet Ingram Final Mode, releasing the Super Final Blow.

After Guru died protecting the insects from Dargriffon, and their B-Commanders disappeared, He buried Guru in the cave where he first found him.
