Description
Cuza Ackermann is a character from the second season of the Beyblade Burst series, known in Japan as Beyblade Burst God. He is a talented Blader who initially represents the German team Top Wand before later transferring to the renowned BC Sol team.
In terms of background, Cuza was born on May 5th and has O blood type. He grew up traveling the world because his parents worked in the circus, and he developed impressive acrobatic skills from a young age. This upbringing is central to his identity, as he incorporates performance and agility into both his daily life and his battling style. He is never seen without his pet cockatoo, named Carl, who is his best friend and constant companion.
Personality-wise, Cuza is generally very cheerful, upbeat, and easygoing, much like the protagonist Valt Aoi. He enjoys entertaining audiences, a trait he developed from his life as a performer. He is also shown to have a fondness for animals, a good-natured demeanor, and impressive artistic skills. However, he displays a remarkable and drastic shift in character when he enters the beystadium. In a battle, his friendly personality vanishes, and he becomes extremely serious, cold, and calculating, acting as if he barely knows people he was just laughing with. This dual nature, which even his friends find surprising, mirrors the two distinct modes of his Beyblade.
Cuza's motivation is primarily driven by his passion for performance and his desire to grow stronger as a Blader. His acrobatic skills are not just for show; he uses them to perform unique and powerful launches. He can execute backflips, walk on tightropes, and even hang upside down from spikes to launch his Beyblade in ways that give it speed and momentum advantages. His special moves, such as Backflip Boost and Gravity Boost, rely on his physical agility to enhance his Beyblade's attacks.
His role in the story is that of a rival, friend, and later a teammate to the main characters. He first encounters Valt Aoi when Carl steals Valt's Beyblade, but the two quickly become friends, with Cuza even teaching Valt some acrobatic tricks. Their relationship is tested when they face each other as opponents, as Cuza's cold battle demeanor confuses Valt. Despite this, their friendship endures and strengthens after Cuza leaves Top Wand to join Valt on the BC Sol team.
Cuza has several key relationships that shape his character. His bond with his cockatoo, Carl, is one of deep loyalty; Carl often mimics Cuza and has even been used to help friends in dangerous situations. He shares a friendly rivalry and camaraderie with his BC Sol teammates. Another significant relationship is with Clio Delon, a magician Blader from his past. They have known each other since childhood, but Cuza is genuinely afraid of Clio, believing him to be a vampire after a traumatizing experience as a volunteer for one of Clio's magic tricks.
Development-wise, Cuza's journey involves moving from a secondary team to a major one and learning to balance his showman's spirit with his competitive drive. While he starts as a formidable opponent, his performance becomes inconsistent as the series progresses, though he shows moments of great potential and creativity, especially when developing new techniques. Notably, his family name is originally spelled "Ackermann" with two n's, which is the traditional German spelling meaning "farmer," though it is often anglicized as "Ackerman".
Cuza's notable abilities are intrinsically linked to his physical prowess as an acrobat. His launching techniques are his signature, including the Backflip Boost, where he launches mid-backflip, and the Gravity Boost, where he drops from a height to add falling momentum to his launch. His Beyblade, Cognite C3 or Alter Cognite, has special moves that complement his style, such as the Tightrope Dive, which uses the stadium's edge to build speed, and the Eternity Launch, a stamina-based move where the Beyblade moves slowly along the stadium's rim to drain the opponent's spin.
