Description
Packun, also rendered Pakkun, is a supporting character in the anime Beyblade X. He is a Beycrafter who also works as a popular BeyTuber, running a channel with tens of millions of subscribers. He first appears during the All-Stars Beybattle event, where he competes as a member of Team Dreams.
His background centers on his career as a Beycrafter turned online content creator. He is known for producing near-identical copies of Beyblades used by Pro Bladers, and he is able to reproduce their performance with high accuracy. To achieve this, he acquires the blueprint data of existing Beys through methods that are often unethical and outside official channels. He is recognizable by his asymmetrical yellow hair, which covers his left eye, and he typically carries broadcasting equipment such as VR goggles along with a bag.
In public, Packun presents himself as a kind and generous person who is friendly toward his audience and fellow Bladers. In reality, he does not trust anyone and is primarily concerned with protecting his image and growing his follower count. His motivations are driven by a desire for fame, attention, and continued relevance in the Blading world, and he sees battles mainly as a platform to boost his own popularity. He shows little regard for fair play and tends to treat other Bladers as means to his own ends, frequently directing insults at his rivals, especially Robin Kazami.
His role in the story places him as a recurring obstacle and an untrustworthy figure among the Pro Blader community. He defeats Robin in the first round of the All-Star Battle, and later receives visits from Robin and Blader X, who seek his help with training. When the cameras are off, he shares information with them about a rumor with major implications for the Blading world. Shortly afterward, he is kidnapped, and a video posted to his channel threatens the B4 organization with a demand that certain Beyblueprints be released within a set time or Packun will be forced to retire. Earlier, when the Beycrafter Multi Nana-iro approaches him for help as a fellow craftsman, he dismisses her. After his practice of copying Beys is exposed, he attempts to discredit the evidence by claiming it was fabricated using artificial intelligence in an effort to escape consequences.
Packun's key relationships are defined by self-interest. He clashes with and belittles Robin Kazami, who is often on the receiving end of his taunts, while maintaining a cooperative surface with Blader X when it suits him. His relationship with Multi Nana-iro turns adversarial when he tries to blame her for the evidence against him. He also becomes connected to the Shadow Pros, a group known for producing replica Beys, and works alongside them because it allows him to continue copying existing Beys with less personal risk. The Beycrafter Yoko Kyubi eventually persuades him to use his skills for an original creation, leading to the Bey known as Brush Fox.
In terms of development, Packun claims at one point to be a changed person who has reinvented himself, but his actions show that his methods and priorities remain largely the same. He admits that he is capable of crafting original Beys but insists that doing so is not his specialty, preferring instead to rely on copies of other Bladers' designs. His abusive behavior toward rivals, his unsportsmanlike conduct, and his reliance on duplicated data do not lead to permanent change, although his reputation does suffer and his channel's popularity declines after his practices are made public.
His most notable abilities are his skills as a Beycrafter and his talent for duplicating Beys with remarkable fidelity, allowing him to battle using the same equipment as top-tier Pro Bladers. He is also a capable Blader in his own right, able to win official matches with the copied Beys he produces. Despite his focus on replication, he demonstrates that he possesses genuine crafting talent that he rarely chooses to apply to original designs.
