Tsubasa Akaushi

**Tsubasa Akaushi** (赤牛ツバサ) is an ally in Cap Revolution Bottleman DX. He is voiced by Subaru Kimura.

## Description

Tsubasa is one of the Bottle Star Three Champions, together with Leo Kinjishi and Haku Kurenai. They are the world's top three Bottle Battlers second to the Bottle King. He has a cheerful, belligerent, and refreshing personality, and is like a big brother that many Bottle Battlers look up to.

He was originally raised in his family's farm. One day, he had a fateful encounter with Io Hocari, who saved him from a bear. Since then he had become determined to reach the caliber of Bottle King.

After suffering from a humiliating defeat in Leo's hands when he Bottle Battled against B-DACT, Tsubasa feels he has let everybody down, so he decides to quit Bottle Battling. But after Cota motivates him with a causal Bottle Battle, he rekindles his passion, and resumes supporting BMA's side against B-DACT. He also joins in the movement against AI Citrus' Reburst project.

He gets to have a conclusive match with Cota in Episode 45, after receiving wing upgrade for Raidbrave DX from Kaori Hakase, and he is proud of Cota's victory as their match concludes.

Tsubasa, along with Haku and Leo, later have a battle with Ponta Hayari, who triumphs against them. He is last seen cheering for Cota and Ryo with their friends and rivals after the AI crisis is over.
