Description
Jinemon Daizora, known as Jinemon Daikokuten in the original Japanese version, is a supporting character in the Beyblade Burst QuadDrive and QuadStrike anime series, where he is best known as the grandfather of the main protagonist, Bel Daizora. His role is primarily that of a caretaker and a source of warmth and stability for the younger Bladers who frequently gather at his home, a place known as Phantom's Gate.
In terms of personality, Jinemon is depicted as a joyful and kind-hearted elder who carries an optimistic outlook on life. He is often seen laughing heartily at the antics of Bel and his friends, demonstrating a patient and amused tolerance for their often chaotic energy. His kindness is shown through practical actions, such as allowing the Blader Ranzo Kiyama to use his workshop to forge a new Beyblade after it was destroyed, and purchasing plane tickets for the group to travel for important battles. A notable aspect of his character is his culinary skill; he is a great cook who regularly prepares large, delicious meals for everyone at Phantom's Gate, using food as a way to nurture and bring the group together. His optimistic nature is a constant, as he firmly believes that no matter the difficulty, things will work themselves out and that his grandson, Bel, will ultimately overcome any obstacle he faces. Despite his age, Jinemon shares a playful and mischievous streak with his grandson, frequently attempting to prank Bel and his friends by wearing monster masks or gloves, though his efforts are not always successful, especially when Bel is feeling downcast.
Within the story, Jinemon serves as the anchor of Phantom's Gate, providing a stable and welcoming home environment that serves as the group's base of operations. His role is not that of a coach or a powerful Blader, but rather as a supportive guardian figure. His most significant relationship is, of course, with his grandson, Bel Daizora. He offers Bel unconditional support and a place to return to after battles and training. He also extends his hospitality to Bel's friends and allies, including Ranzo Kiyama, Hanna Suiro, and Bashara Suiro, who come to live at or frequently visit Phantom's Gate, treating them as part of his extended family. His role extends into the QuadStrike season, where his cooking becomes a point of high value. In one instance, the legendary Blader Xander Shakadera is so impressed by Jinemon's signature feast that he challenges Bel to a battle with the prize being the right to have Jinemon come and live with him. This event highlights how Jinemon's non-battling skill is highly prized within the Blading community.
Regarding his development, Jinemon remains a consistent and unwavering figure throughout the series. He does not undergo a significant personal transformation, as his narrative function is to provide continuity, support, and a sense of home for the younger, evolving characters. His background as Bel's grandfather is his defining trait, but the series does not delve into his own past as a Blader or any other career. As for notable abilities, Jinemon does not participate in Beyblade battles. His talents lie entirely outside the stadium; he is recognized for two primary skills: his exceptional cooking and his joyful, prank-loving personality. These abilities, while not competitive, are central to his identity and his value to the other characters in the series.
