Description
Bel Daizora, known as Bell Daikokuten in the original Japanese version, is the main protagonist of the anime Beyblade Burst QuadStrike, a role he continues from the previous season, Beyblade Burst QuadDrive. He resides in and operates out of a mansion called Phantom's Gate, which he deliberately presents as a haunted location to lure challengers for Beyblade battles. Physically, Bel is a short boy with pale skin, turquoise eyes, and black eyeliner. His most distinctive feature is his multicolored hair, consisting of a red mohawk and dark-purple hair accented with magenta rhombus-shaped highlights. When Bel resonates strongly with his Beyblade, these highlights glow. His attire is theatrical, typically including a gray shirt, a black Dracula-style cape with a red interior, dark-gray pants with straps, white boots, and a fingerless glove on his left hand.
Bel styles himself as the Dark Prince, or the Demon King, but this title is more a reflection of his eccentric and theatrical nature than any genuine malice. He is a proud, mischievous, and somewhat socially awkward boy who enjoys portraying an intimidating persona. This confidence, combined with his natural blading talent and a fierce thirst for victory, allows him to live up to his self-appointed moniker. Bel has a well-documented love for pranks, which he frequently plays on friends and visitors to Phantom's Gate, though he often finds himself on the receiving end of similar tricks from his grandfather. His behavior can be impulsive and self-centered; he tends to do whatever he pleases, even if it means disobeying rules or interrupting formal matches. Despite this, he holds deep respect for strong Bladers such as Valt Aoi, Free De La Hoya, and Shu Kurenai, seeing them as inspirations to push his own limits. Bel hates losing and becomes visibly upset after defeats, though he often rationalizes them as a preparation for victory. He shares a powerful, almost telepathic, bond with his Beyblade, Belfyre, and can sense its feelings and thoughts as if they were his own.
Bel's primary motivation is to prove his strength as a blader and to live up to his self-proclaimed title. He is driven by a desire to win and to constantly evolve, both as a competitor and as an inventor. His journey in QuadStrike follows his loss of the World Champion title to Aiger Akabane, which compels him to further upgrade his Beyblade and face a new set of powerful rivals. He is an inventor and engineer who created the Dynamite Battle Layer System and is constantly seeking to improve his Beyblade and launcher technology to gain an edge in battle. His creative energy is not limited to blading; he also channels it into devising elaborate pranks and booby traps, which serve as both entertainment and a means to test unwary challengers.
In the story of QuadStrike, Bel continues as the central figure, now battling alongside his new Beyblade, Divine Belfyre Squadron-Q Guard-Q+Adventure-3. After his defeat by Aiger, he evolves this Bey further into Destined Belfyre D Gear-Q Gyro-Q+VS Gear-2'. The season sees him face off with returning legendary bladers, including a significant rivalry with Xander Shakadera. He also becomes entangled in the mystery of the Grand Masquerade Bey Tournament, where he confronts a masked blader named Quadra. Throughout these events, Bel remains a character defined by his recklessness and stubbornness, often failing to learn from his mistakes, but his passion for blading and his bond with Belfyre remain his defining strengths.
Key relationships shape Bel's journey. He lives with his grandfather, Jinemon Daizora, who shares his prankster inclinations and provides crucial emotional support, especially after crushing defeats. His most significant rival is Rashad Goodman, the blader who shattered his original Beyblade, Destruction Belfyre, an act that sent Bel into a period of deep depression. Their rivalry is intense and personal. Another notable relationship is with Phelix Payne, who initially defeats Bel as part of a vendetta against Rashad, but Bel pursues him and the two eventually forge an unexpected friendship. He also maintains alliances with bladers like Ranzo Kiyama and Bashara Suiro, who have been his companions since his days at Phantom's Gate. His interactions with legendary bladers like Valt Aoi serve as both inspiration and benchmarks for his own growth.
Bel Daizora shows notable development from his first appearance. Initially introduced as a somewhat arrogant and isolated boy who used a ghostly facade to draw opponents, he evolves through the pain of significant loss. The destruction of Destruction Belfyre by Rashad is a pivotal moment, leading to a period of despair followed by a resilient comeback where he rebuilds his Bey into Devastate Belfyre. His rivalry with Phelix Payne, which transitions from animosity to friendship, further softens his edges and allows him to openly support another blader. By the time of QuadStrike, he is still the confident and mischievous Dark Prince, but his experiences have given him a deeper understanding of both victory and defeat.
Bel's notable abilities are a combination of his natural talent, his strong resonance with his Beyblade, and his technical ingenuity. His special moves are aggressive and powerful, often involving high-speed dashes and devastating strikes. These include the Destruction Wrecker and Devastate Wrecker, where Belfyre strikes the opponent with full force, and the Devastate Dive, where Belfyre launches into the air and uses gravity to increase the power of its descent. Other techniques include the Venture Flash and Devastate Flash, which involve building up speed along the stadium rim to deliver a powerful ram. Bel is also a skilled inventor and engineer. His ability to create and install Evolution Gears and design custom launchers like the Full Custom BeyLauncher LR is a core part of his blading style, allowing him to push his Beyblade beyond its normal limits through technological innovation rather than purely physical training.
