Joe Lazure, alias Joe Rurikawa in Japanese media, is a flamboyant blader defined by his theatrical antics and gambling-inspired combat style. His striking appearance features pale skin, vivid red eyes, and light-blue hair accentuated by a painted purple scar over his left eye, paired with a cerulean-and-purple jester costume. He leans on chance-driven strategies, often deciding tactics through ritualistic coin tosses—a method as unreliable as it is integral to his unpredictable nature. His Beyblade, Judgement Joker 00Turn Trick Zan, embodies his chaotic flair as a balance-type system with rubber components for attack deflection and mid-battle shifts between stamina and assault modes. Its avatar mirrors Joe’s scarred visage, while its name nods to gambling motifs. Signature techniques include Fortune’s Trick, which disrupts opponents with erratic speed changes, and Fate’s Judgement, a high-risk strike using rubber blades that risks self-damage from recoil. Competing in the Bey Carnival, Joe clashes with rivals like Arman Kusaba and Dante Koryu. His record shows wins against Taka Kusaba, Ichika Kindo, and Arman, balanced by losses to Dante and Gwyn Reynolds. He adapts dynamically during matches, pivoting strategies via coin flips and capitalizing on enemy vulnerabilities, though his gamble-heavy approach sometimes backfires. Despite this volatility, he maintains sportsmanship, notably gifting Dante a coin post-defeat. Affiliated with the group Inferno, he remains its sole member without a Flux Move. His surname merges “lapis lazuli” and “azure,” reflecting his color palette, while his July 7 birthday aligns with the symbolic number seven. Documented exclusively in *Beyblade Burst Rise* (GT), his narrative focuses on competitive engagements, with no expanded backstory or appearances in films, OVAs, or spin-offs.
