Description
Titus Manju, known as King Manju in Japan, is a prominent character in the Beyblade X anime and manga, leading Team Zooganic and battling with Leon-series Beyblades. His Japanese name, "Manjū Kingu," meaning "King of Ten Thousand Beasts," reflects his lion motif and self-proclaimed regal status.
Visually, Titus possesses a short stature with distinctive brown, orange, and yellow spiky hair styled like a lion's mane. His features include feline-like brown pupils, long nails, whisker tattoos, and prominent fangs. His attire typically consists of a brown sleeveless fur-trimmed jacket over a black shirt, a fang necklace, black and yellow wristbands, brown shorts, a belt with a lion crest, and black boots with grey soles.
Despite his royal title, Titus exhibits a kind and loyal personality. He deeply trusts teammates Toguro Okunaga and Jian Strong, actively supporting their Blading abilities. He also demonstrates care for animals, particularly Shishimaru the lion at his family's Lion's Jungle facility. His leadership emphasizes mutual respect and teamwork.
Titus hails from the Manju family, with several generations involved in Beyblading. His maternal grandmother, legendary Blader Quinn Manju, taught him to wield Claw Leon offensively and defensively during his childhood, instilling the philosophy that a true king grows stronger through losses. His mother, Joka Manju, is a former Beycrafter who crafted Zooganic's Basic Line Beyblades and Quinn's Knife Shinobi. Other family members include great-grandmother Sue Manju, father Jaku Manju, younger brother Pris Manju, and younger sister Prisse Manju. The family resides at Animal Castle, where Multi Nana-iro refines her Beycrafting under their guidance.
As a Blader, Titus primarily uses two Beyblades:
- **Claw Leon 5-60P (Balance Type):** Features claw-like blades. Its "Xtreme Dash: King of the Beasts" special move delivers an uppercut strike for knockouts. It also uses "Beast Guard," a defensive technique spinning flat to parry attacks and counter.
- **Crest Leon 7-60GN (Defense Type):** Uses wall-like blades. Its "Xtreme Dash: Crest of the King" move leverages opponent momentum for counterattacks.
Titus was the first character in Beyblade X to wield multiple types (Balance and Defense) for the same motif. His manga Shoot Power is documented as 9000.
His Beybattle record includes:
- Wins against Takumi Ishiyama (Episode 5), unknown Bladers (Episodes 19, 28, 31), Jian Strong (Episode 53), Rex Jura (Episode 53), and Robin Kazami (Episode 53).
- Losses to Jaxon Cross (Episode 8), Quinn Manju (Episode 39 flashback, Episode 79), and an unknown Blader (implied Episode 39 flashback).
- Draws against Blaze Fujiwara (Episode 28) and Khrome Ryugu (Episode 40).
Titus formed Team Zooganic after rejecting initial tryouts. He accepted Toguro after evaluating his launch form and recruited Jian upon recognizing her raw launch power despite initial losses, emphasizing selection based on potential and skill. Titus holds profound respect for his grandmother Quinn, whose wisdom significantly shaped his Blading approach, a bond highlighted in their battles where her teachings influence his strategies.
A recurring theme is his growth through defeat, embodying Quinn's lesson that true strength comes from overcoming losses. This resilience is evident after battles against opponents like Jaxon and Quinn, illustrating a balance of regal confidence and humility as he hones his skills while maintaining loyalty to his team and family.
Trivia notes include his use of a recolored Winder Launcher (White Ver.) and the linguistic link between his name and lions being called "King of the Beasts" (百獣の王) in Japanese. His Beyblade Claw Leon's "Xtreme Dash" suffix directly references this title.
