Description
Ranzo Kiyama emerges as a character in the Beyblade Burst QuadDrive and QuadStrike anime series. Hailing from Brazil, he first made his mark as a formidable Blader in the South American league. Intrigued by rumors of Phantom's Gate and its leader, Bel Daizora, he journeyed to Japan. He shares familial ties as the cousin of Rantaro and Ranjiro Kiyama.
Ranzo possesses a tall stature with tanned skin, striking orange eyes, and distinctive blonde hair styled in an upward spiral. His face features three bandage strips: a tan one across his nose and white ones on each cheek. His signature outfit includes an orange T-shirt emblazoned with a white "R" outlined in red, a green bandana, orange sunglasses often perched on his forehead, a red sleeveless jacket, light-blue shorts accented with black triangular sections, and red-and-yellow high-top shoes. Mirroring his cousins, he habitually enjoys a blue-and-yellow lollipop.
His personality radiates high energy, characterized by innate friendliness and infectious enthusiasm, especially for Beyblade battles. This communicative style sometimes leads others to perceive him as annoying. Ranzo expresses emotions dramatically during wins or losses, often spinning or dancing. He demonstrates fierce loyalty to friends like Bel Daizora and Bashara Suiro, actively supporting them during challenges, voicing concern in their struggles, and seeking them out for practice.
His initial Beyblade was Glide Roktavor Wheel Revolve 1S. During his first encounter with Bel Daizora in Japan, Bel accidentally destroyed this Beyblade using Destruction Belfyre's Destruction Wrecker move. As compensation, Bel aided Ranzo in evolving his Beyblade into Cyclone Roktavor Giga Never-6, which became his primary Beyblade throughout both QuadDrive and QuadStrike. His combat repertoire features special moves like Double Winged Cyclone and its enhanced form Double Winged Cyclone Grande, utilizing Cyclone Roktavor's stamina wings to create defensive cyclones.
Ranzo's narrative unfolds upon challenging Bel in Japan, an event that led to his Beyblade's destruction and evolution. Following this, he became Bel's steadfast companion. Throughout QuadDrive, he battled numerous top Bladers including Bashara Suiro, Free De La Hoya, Valt Aoi, and Rashad Goodman, achieving occasional victories amidst frequent losses. He participated in team events, notably assisting Bel in a tri-Blader tournament alongside Valt and Rashad.
In QuadStrike, Ranzo continued as a tritagonist, wielding Cyclone Roktavor. His battle record remained mixed; he secured a temporary win against Bel in their second match but suffered consistent losses afterward. He engaged in multi-Blader contests, partnering with Valt Aoi for a victory against Hikaru and Hyuga Hizashi, yet faced defeats against opponents like Aiger Akabane, Xander Shakadera, and Kit Lopez.
As a Brazilian character, Ranzo speaks Portuguese, marking him as the first character in the Beyblade Burst series known to be multilingual. His name follows Western order (first name then surname) in Japanese pronunciation, unlike his cousins. He frequently peppers his speech with the Portuguese word "amigo" (friend) as a signature catchphrase.
