Description
Thirteen-year-old Hajime Hinobori sports upward-spiked brown hair held by a red headband, typically clad in a red shirt, light blue jacket, blue pants, and gloves. His name, meaning "begin," signifies his role as the inaugural test battler for his parents' experimental battle system, created to physically manifest Battle Spirits cards and fulfill his dream of interacting with the spirits directly.
He exhibits intense enthusiasm for Battle Spirits, favoring red cards for their perceived coolness. Battles ignite his hot-blooded spirit, often prompting exclamations like "I’m heating up!" An eccentric culinary quirk sees him mixing unconventional seasonings into his rice. Initially focused on personal achievement, his motivations gradually shift toward battling for others' dreams. Romantic advances hold little interest compared to card battles.
His journey starts with a loss against the disguised champion Arata Yakushiji ("Afrone"), who guides him to choose his destined cornerstone spirit, The HeroDragon Lord-Dragon. Early victories include defeating Kimari Tatsumi and members of Tegamaru Tanashi’s team (Kobushi Nigiri and Chihiro Kusaka). Despite a loss to Tegamaru in the Heroes Championship, he trains under the Battle Spirits Sage and secures a national tournament spot via the High Ranker League.
He acquires new X-rare spirits: The ExplosionHero Lord-Dragon-Bazzel after nationals, The GlacialHero Lord-Dragon-Glazar from a Battle Spirits tower (initially struggling with its white attributes), and The SuperHero Lord-Dragon-Saviour from a pack gifted by Galaxy Watanabe. Participating internationally, he battles opponents like Renard William Ardley and Abura Katabura during a submarine expedition, defeating American representative Freddy Jason with Lord-Dragon-Saviour. Though reaching the world finals, he loses to Tegamaru but inspires a rematch to reignite Tegamaru's passion. This culminates in a symbolic victory at Hero Stadium, overcoming Amaterasu-Dragon and earning Tegamaru’s respect.
His deck primarily utilizes red and white burst cards, featuring spirits like Salamantle, TwinBlade-Dragon, and Ikazuchi-Wurm alongside magics such as Burst Draw and Burst Flame. Key nexuses include The HeroEmperor DeitySword and The Divine Flame Takamagahara. The deck evolves throughout the series, incorporating new X-rares and adapting dual-color strategies.
Post-tournament, he supports Kataru Ooizumi’s student council campaign and encounters Arata again for an undecided battle. An epilogue confirms his continued engagement with Battle Spirits, including a final challenge against Arata in his Afrone disguise.
