Description
Anton, known in the original Japanese version as Puten, serves as the manager of the Russian team, Team Lovushka, in the anime Beyblade: Metal Masters. Beyond his role with the team, he also holds the position of commander of the Russian Space Endeavour. His personal Beyblade is Evil Wolf DF145FS.
In terms of personality, Anton is a calculated and deceptive individual who presents himself with the air of a gentleman. Despite this polished exterior, his primary method for achieving victory relies on elaborate cheating and manipulation rather than fair competition. His motivations are centered on winning at all costs, and he believes that success justifies any underhanded tactic he can devise. He is driven by a desire to secure victory for his team, but his methods ultimately serve his own agenda.
Anton's role in the story is as an antagonist and a secondary villain who creates engineered obstacles for the protagonist team, GanGan Galaxy. He first appears analyzing intelligence on GanGan Galaxy gathered by his team member, Aleksei. His most notable contributions to the plot involve designing specialized stadiums rigged to give Team Lovushka an unfair advantage. He created a cage stadium specifically to prevent Gingka Hagane from being able to use his powerful special move. Later, he designed a different stadium for a battle between Yu Tendo and Aleksei, this one built to allow Aleksei's Beyblade to float while simultaneously neutralizing the vibrations that Yu's special moves require to function. His plans are exposed when Masamune Kadoya discovers the truth. Masamune confronts Anton directly in a Beybattle, which Anton loses, putting an end to his schemes.
Anton's key relationship is with his own team. While he is their manager, his actions bring them dishonor. After his cheating is exposed, Team Lovushka fires him, leaving his ultimate fate unknown. His development is brief but conclusive; he begins as a confident and manipulative strategist but ends his tenure humiliated and dismissed for the very tactics he believed would lead to success.
Regarding notable abilities, Anton is not primarily a powerful blader but a cunning engineer and strategist. His true skill lies in designing and modifying stadiums with hidden "added effects" to control the conditions of a match and cripple specific opponents. When he does engage in a fair battle, he proves to be less capable, suffering a direct loss to Masamune Kadoya. He is also frequently seen with a black rose, which is a recognizable part of his character design.
