Gingka Hagane

"A Beyblade's true strength doesn't have anything to do with attack power or stamina, it attacks with the feelings of the Blader that's connected with it, as if all the power in the cosmos was being poured into it. You must put your heart that is as big as the starry sky into it."

**Gingka Hagane** (鋼 銀河, **Hagane Ginga**) is a main character of the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**.

Gingka Hagane holds the title of "#1 Blader in the world" and is a **Blader Of The Four Seasons**, representing the season of Autumn. Gingka blades with **Samurai Pegasus**. His best friends are **Kenta Yumiya** and **Madoka Amano**.

## Personality

Gingka is a nice and calm blader, and will do whatever it takes to battle with his Bey, Pegasus, and protect his friends, as well as save the world from danger. Even though he gets a bit worried when losing, he is never frightened and is always ready to battle again. No matter what disadvantages he faces, he never backs down from a challenge. He is always pumped up, ready to battle, never gives up, and fights till the end. "That's what makes a Blader's Spirit!" he says.

## Character Desgin

Gingka has dark red spiky hair. He wears a blue headband with a design of the mythical creature, Pegasus, on it, but it has only one wing, whereas his father's headband had two wings on it. His headband does not get two wings on it until the Metal Fury series.

He also has golden-brown eyes and a broken nose which he may have got from beyblading. His usual outfit consists of a long white scarf around his neck, a short blue short-sleeved jacket, a plain orange shirt, white and blue fingerless gloves, a red and a brown belt around his waist, which has a pouch for his beyblade, black pants,

and red and navy blue colored shoes. The white long scarf represents Pegasus' wings. He keeps his beyblade gear on his belt so that he can quickly use it whenever needed.

Gingka currently uses a String Launcher (Bey Launcher) with a Three Segment Launcher Grip in rig

In Metal Fury, Gingka obtains a new headband that has a Pegasus and 2 wings like his father's headband, but is white and red.

Later in Shogun Steel, Gingka gets a new look. His hair is more shaggier and has taller, spiky hair with the same headband as the previous season. He now wears a black shirt under a short blue jacket with long, rolled-up sleeves, white-and-gold lines, now has brown fingerless gloves, dark-blue pants, and wears black boots under red socks. His white scarf is more longer and has shredded ends.

His materials have also changed- he uses a Zero-G Launcher with the grip part of the Zero-G Launcher Grip connected on it.

## Story

During the start of the anime, Gingka Hagane, is seen walking around the city, not just that but sleeping in unusual places like on top of a water tank. A little after that, he ran into a group of beyblade thugs called the Face Hunters who was bullying someone named Kenta. The five Face Hunters that were there had then challenged Bandage Man to a 5 VS 1 handicap match, which he easily beat them without even trying. Kenta was happy that someone was there to save the day, and even someone to look up to. Not long after that they both became good friends and went to the Bey Park together. During their first conversation alone at the park, Kenta asked Bandage Man where he lives. Bandage Man revealed to Kenta that he has been traveling around the country looking for someone challenging enough to battle him. And later on meets Ryuga and becomes his rival.

One of the Face Hunters, Benkei, had proposed a challenge for Gingka, for him to meet them at a construction site. As soon as Bandage Man got there, one hundred face Hunter thugs were there waiting with their beyblades eager to battle Bandage Man. After one hundred beyblades were launched, Bandage Man remains calm and un-phased by this. Soon after Kenta appears, he notices that one of the beys scratched Bandage Man on the side of his head! He says to him that this isn't a beybattle, and that he should run. Still, Bandage Man isn't afraid; he reassures Kenta that everything will be fine. Bandage Man then decides to get serious and launches Storm Pegasus. Bandage Man unleashes some of the power from Storm Pegasus, knocking away the one hundred beyblades with ease; he even summons his beast Pegasus to finish the job knocking all those blades away. After Bandage Man beat the one hundred Face Hunters who challenged him, their leader, Kyoya challenged him to a battle.

Later that day, at the City Bowl, Bandage Man is seen beyblading against some kids, which he easily defeats their blades in a single swipe. All the kids there got so excited that a strong blader like Bandage Man had challenged them to a beyblade match. Then a girl named Madoka is seen watching from the background, who later accidentally spooked Bandage Man, took both of them to the B-Pit. A Beyblade shop in town (which is also her house) and decided to help them out.

Later that day, the Face Hunters took off with Kenta's Sagittario, telling Bandage Man that if he didn't come to the Metal Tower that something bad will happen to Kenta's bey. After Bandage Man arrived at the Metal Tower, he began his battle with Kyoya. After Bandage Man won the battle, Sagittario was given back to Kenta. Little did Bandage Man know...one of his enemies, Doji from the Dark Nebula Organization has returned and they want him dead. That day, Kenta wanted to prove to Bandage Man to be a worthy opponent in battle so Bandage Man wouldn't leave town to find other strong opponents. Bandage Man accepted Kenta's challenge, decided to beybattle him. Kenta proved to be a worthy opponent, but Bandage Man won the battle using his first finishing move, Shooting Star Attack (Pegasus Starblast Attack). Bandage Man explained to Kenta that he liked the city, so he wasn't going to leave.

After Doji gave Benkei the bey, 'Dark Bull', Benkei goes crazy. Later, Bandage Man sees an enraged Benkei and battles him and won. Not just that, but the next day, some guy named Tetsuya kidnapped Madoka, demanded a battle with him, which Bandage Man won of course.

A female blader named Hikaru shows up in Metal Bey City, and wanted to battle against Bandage Man. Well, it didn't turn out the way she wanted as Kenta battled her in Bandage Man's place since he got sick.
Dark Nebula continues to manipulate Kyoya into thinking that Bandage Man is the bad guy. While that is happening, Doji asks the main computer (Merci) to gather more data on Bandage Man. Merci lured Bandage Man into an outhouse, which then Merci tricks Bandage Man into thinking that he's on TV. After Merci gathered enough data on Bandage Man, he kicked him out then left. The whole time Bandage Man had no idea that it was a trap to gather data on him.
