Description
Queen Manju, also romanized as Quinn Manju, is an elderly professional blader who appears in the anime and manga Beyblade X. She is widely regarded as a living legend of the sport, having competed at the professional level since the founding era of Beyblade itself. Her lifetime competitive record stands at 9,999 wins against only 9 losses, an achievement that has made her one of the most celebrated figures in the history of the game. In her own words, it is impossible to discuss Beyblade without mentioning her, and her impact on the blading world is said to span generations.
She was originally a member of the team known as Team Conquest. When the teammates of her era retired because of their age, she chose to remain active, continuing her career as a one-person team. Because of her enduring popularity and reputation, she was later selected to join the specially assembled team Dreams for the All-Star Battle event, where she acts as the team leader alongside bladers such as Jura Rex and Pakkun.
In appearance, Queen Manju is a tall, elderly woman with curly gray and orange hair that she wears in a gray, orange, and purple mohawk. During her younger years, she wore her hair down and sported a T-shirt bearing the word Manju. She is also the grandmother of the pro blader Manju King, known as Titus Manju in some versions, who leads the team Zooganic. She comes from a large family that includes her mother, her daughter, who is Manju King's mother, and several younger grandchildren.
Her personality is marked by fearlessness, self-assurance, and a strong sense of pride in her legacy. She carries herself with the authority of a champion and confronts challenges with a fearless smile. She regards battles as memorable experiences rather than simple victories, and she has never forgotten the nine opponents who managed to defeat her. During the All-Star Battle, she faced the masked blader known as Masked X and provocatively asked whether he had the capacity to become the tenth memory she would carry with her, baiting him into serving as the path to her ten-thousandth win. Masked X replied that he would instead make her forget those nine losses. The episode centered on her appearance is framed around the return of a legendary figure to the competitive stage, and she accepts Masked X's declaration of victory with a fearless smile as the crowd cheers.
Her role in the story is that of a prominent supporting figure who represents the founding generation of professional blading. By returning to competition for the All-Star Battle, she demonstrates that the legends of the past still carry influence in the modern scene, while her status as Manju King's grandmother also connects her to the sport's rising generation. Later in the story, she continues to shape the Beyblade world from behind the scenes, discussing major changes and trends in the sport and making suggestions to other figures, indicating that her influence extends beyond her own matches.
In terms of development, Queen Manju's arc centers on reaffirming her legacy rather than fading into retirement. She proves that age does not diminish her competitive spirit, and her willingness to face a new generation of challengers reinforces her standing as a living legend. Her notable ability is her extraordinary level of skill, attested by a career of nearly ten thousand victories, and she battles using the Beyblade Shadow Shinobi 1-80MN.
