Beyblade: Metal Fusion
He made his debut in episode 1, where he arrived in Metal Bey City, ate lunch, and fell asleep on top of a water tower. He then noticed a boy named Kenta being bullied by Benkei and some of the Face Hunters and stepped in to help Kenta, defeating the group with ease. He then traveled to the Face Hunter base, where he triumphed in a 100 vs. 1 battle. The leader, Kyoya, then challenged him to a battle.

In episode 2, He met Madoka Amano, a girl who worked at a Beyblade shop, who insisted he and Kenta come to the shop and have their Beyblades repaired. Kenta's beyblade, Flame Sagittario, was repaired, but was then stolen by Benkei, who would only return it if Gingka would battle Kyoya. Gingka agreed and met Kyoya at the top of the radio tower, where his foe's beyblade had increased power. Despite the disadvantage, he managed to defeat Kyoya and get back Sagittario.

In episode 3, Kenta thought he was going to leave the city for good, so he challenged Gingka to a battle. Gingka won, but it had all been a misunderstanding and he was going to stay after all.

In episode 4, He tried to buy a hamburger, but it was ahotdog instead. He then had a rematch with Benkei, who had been given Dark Bull. Bull held Pegasus on the ropes for a while, but Gingka managed to defeat Benkei in the end. He, Madoka, and Kenta then celebrated with hamburgers.

In episode 5, a mysterious being named Tetsuya was running amok, destroying Gingka's friends' beyblades. Gingka decided to put a stop to this, so he, Kenta, and Madoka started searching for Tetsuya. Kenta was defeated in a battle and Madoka was captured and put in a crab trap. Gingka had to battle Tetsuya to free Madoka, so he won the first round, but lost the second round. Benkei eventually freed Madoka and Gingka won the battle, so all was well.

In episode 6, He was sick and unable to battle for a short while, and a new challenger named Hikaru showed up. Benkei told her about Gingka, but instead Kenta took his place. Kenta ended up battling her again and again until he was all out of Beypoints.

In episode 7, He came across Kenta, who had been injured from Benkei's training. Kenta suspiciously ran off towards the abandoned stadium, but dropped his Beybpointer, which Gingka saw was empty. He and Madoka spied on Kenta and Benkei along with Tetsuya. In the end, he watched Kenta create a special move to defeat Hikaru.

In episode 8, He noticed Hikaru leaving because she thought she was not worthy to fight the real Gingka after losing to Kenta. However, Gingka was still willing to battle and defeated her by seeing the reflection of of Aquario's Fusion Wheel.

In episode 9, he rescued a beaten Benkei and Kenta from Kyoya, who had returned from his Dark Nebula training. He then vowed to defeat Kyoya.

In episode 10, He battled Kyoya, and won by using Kyoya's King Lion Tearing Blast to speed up Pegasus' spin and then finished with Meteor Shower Attack.

In episode 11, Doji appeared after the battle and proceeded to defeat Kyoya in a battle, damaging him and his Rock Leone. Gingka's friends took care of Kyoya, while Gingka went searching for Doji. He would not say why, but the Dark Nebula were his enemies.

In episode 12, He, Kyoya, Kenta, Benkei, and Madoka invaded the Dark Nebula Castle to put a stop to Doji's evil plans. Kenta, Benkei, and Madoka were held up in the control room, while Kyoya was stuck battling Dan and Reiki. Gingka made it to the final room and defeated Doji in a battle. However, his prescence awakened Ryuga. He then battled Ryuga, but was in a furious rage about how Ryuga supposedly killed his father. Lightning L Drago's left spinning powers, combined with it's ability to absorb anger from its opponent, allowed it to recharge to 100% and defeat Gingka with a dark move.

In episode 14, He told Kenta the story about how he and his father lived peacefully in Koma Village until the Dark Nebula appeared. They stole the forbidden bey, Lightning L Drago, from the mountain and Ryuga used it to battle Ryusei Hagane. The power of the battle caused the inner chamber of the mountain to collapse, supposedly killing Ryusei. However, Ryusei gave Gingka his Storm Pegasus and Gingka was able to escape.

In episode 15, Gingka mysteriously vanished. Kenta and the others took a clue that he had returned to Koma Village, his hometown. Indeed, he had, in search of a scroll of power that rested on top of the mountain. He was not seThermal Piscesen again until episode 17, where he braved many dangers, including snowstorms and an illusory Ryuga in order to retrieve the scroll, which in the end only said, that Gingka already posessed the power he needed, he just had to find it within himself. He then met his friends on the way down from the mountain.

Gingka and the others spent the next day participating in several activities in the Beyblade forest, such as river crossing. Hyoma then challenged him to a battle in the Green Hades Stadium. Gingka struggled at first because Pegasus' Performance Tip could not get any friction on the glassy surface. However, He used StarBlast Attack to crack the stadium and trap Hyoma's Aries so he could deal a winning attack.

He cheered Kenta and Benkei on during the Tag-Team Tournament. Madoka suggested he try to team up with Kyoya, but Kyoya declined.

He and many of his friends and acquaintences entered the survival battle on a deserted island. Madoka was accidentally caught up with the group of Bladers and advised him about how to defeat opponents. Gingka won his way to the final three easily, where he had to face Kyoya and a mysterious blader named Yu. Kyoya forfeited the battle after realizing how badly his Leone was damaged, and Gingka was defeated by Yu.

In the aftermath of the Survival Battle, Doji and Ryuga appeared. Gingka clashed with Ryuga until the Dark Nebula left, but only after they declared the start of Battle Bladers, a nationwide tournament held for only the best bladers.

On his quest to obtain 50,000 Beypoints, Gingka met Tsubasa, a blader who used Earth Eagle. Tsubasa taught him to use all of his senses while Beyblading, not just his sight. Gingka used this tactic in their next battle to find out where Eagle would attack from, and won easily. It is later revealed Tsubasa let him win.

He later discovered he and Benkei were entering the same tournament. As the two wished each other luck, Tetsuya appeared, saying he had changed his ways and wanted to turn over a new leaf. However, this was all part of his plot to get Benkei and Gingka to let their guard down. It worked on Benkei, but Gingka defeated him easily.

He was mentioned several times by Sora in Episode 29, as Sora looks up to him.

In episode 30, he met Ryutaro Fukami, a magician blader who had entered the same tournament he was in, a large battle in order to win 10,000 points. Gingka faced Ryutaro in the first round, and was having difficulty attacking Ryutaro's Thermal Pisces, but prevailed by creating a new Special Move.

He won his way to the final round, a six-way Battle Royale between him, Kenta, Tsubasa, Yu, Kyoya, and Hyoma. Hyoma was defeated early by Tsubasa, leaving only Him, Kyoya Kenta Tsubassa and Yu Kyoya and Kenta work together to try to eliminate Yu by using there special moves together, Kenta's special move knocks Libra into the arena but still spinning barely, but is grinding against the arena but they spoke to soon as Libra's Eternal Sharp performance tip to regain balance and speed. Yu tries to go battle Pegasus with Tsubasa but Kyoya attempts to stop him but is stopped by Libra's special move Sonic Wave trapping Leone and Saggitario in sand.

Libra then tries to eliminate everybody by using his special move Inferno Blast, but Tsubasa counters with a special move Counter Stance to stop Libra's shockwave production but Kyoya activates his special move Lion Gale Force Wall. Gingka commands Pegasus to try to create a vacuum to cancel out all the special moves in the arena and succeeds but collides with eagle and Libra causing an explosion that eliminates all 3 of them leaving Kyoya and Kenta left. Kyoya works fast and creates a tornado and eliminates Kenta winning him the battle royal and the tournament.

Not Soon after the devious Tetsuya in attempts to steal Gingka's beypoints disguises himself as a world famous top researcher named Nigel Crabcakes, not knowing anything Gingka and Madoka let him see his beypointer and launcher. When they weren't looking he swapped his pointer for a new beypointer with a sticker on it to make it look like it was Gingka's pointer.

Madoka later noticed when transferring beypoints that he stole his beypointer. They soon track down the mysterious man and find out it was none other than Tetsuya. Gingka tries to get his pointer back but it soon falls out of both their hands and lands into the hands of a mysterious man known as Phoenix. Gingka says that if he defeats him he has to return his pointer, Phoenix accepts and says that his bey Burn Fireblaze 135MS will be Gingka's opponent.

Gingka and Phoenix begin as Pegasus and Firebaze's powers seem even. Gingka and Madoka are shocked at the site, that Fireblaze's tip is creating sparks. Madoka uses her laptop to see that his performance tip is made of metal allowing it to have a lot of resistance friction allowing it to have a lot of power but Gingka tries to defeat him quickly by using his special move Starblast Attack.

Fireblaze is repelled and is falling down to defeat until it begins bouncing off the structure landing it back where it was, Phoenix commands Fireblaze to create its fire stating that it melts everything and is correct as the that part of the metal beam is melting. Gingka is shocked to see that Fireblaze is cutting the metal structure with pure force and notices that he needs to come up with a strategy to defeat it.

Phoenix asks Gingka why he beyblades and says someone who does not fight for purpose should not be able to fight surprising Gingka. Gingka then counters Fireblaze's fire with his new special move Storm Bringer which repels Fireblaze into the sky, but Phoenix commands Fireblaze to use its special move Burning Fire Strike which sends Pegasus crashing into the ground and Defeat.

Phoenix states that his is weakness causes his defeat and crushes Gingkas beypointer in front of him stating that "defeat means losing everything and that his will is weakening" making Gingka accept the fact that he is right. Gingka then realizes that he will start back from scratch and work his way up and will not stop until he wins Battle Bladers and that the next time he loses will be the day he quits beyblading. Phoenix states that is the will power Gingka needs to succeed.

Soon after his defeat Gingka leaves his friend Madoka to journey Japan. He vows to not lose and will make it to Battle Bladers and defeat Ryuga. Gingka not soon after is already battling once more, he states that he needs to perfect the use of his new launcher and his new special move.

Gingka's first battle on his goal of earning 50,000 Beypoints and qualifying for Battle Bladers ends in quick victory as he uses his new launch power. Soon after his victory he sees a battle on a large screen showing Hikaru Hasama battling a strange man.

Gingka sees that Hikaru uses her special move Aquario Infinite Assault to try to earn victory but surprisingly the man's bey breaks through the special move and leaps above the arena crashing Aquario into defeat. The DJ later announces that the blades name is Teru Saotome, while Gingka states that if he keeps on winning he will probably end up facing him.

Gingka in little to know time keeps on winning and is eventually at 15,000 Beypoints and is keeping up his goal of not being defeated until he defeats Ryuga. One night Gingka is walking in a forest when he sees a ballet dancer like figure leap across the sky which puzzles Gingka and makes him check himself to see if he is sleeping but surprisingly wasn't. He approached where the figure came from and was amazed at the site of the beyblade spinning "perfectly" with no wobble what-so-ever, out of the forest comes out the man Gingka saw earlier on TV named Teru.

Teru said that beyblade is his Earth Virgo GB145BS. Teru states that his beyblade will defeat Gingka as he is his "supporter" confusing Gingka, Teru mentions that there is a tournament the next day and that is where they shall battle and Gingka will Lose. Gingka says he looks forward to battling him as Teru leaves into the forest and says that they will battle tomorrow.

The next day at the tournament Gingka and Teru blow through the competition in no time and with ease as they both advance to the finals and meet like they said they would. The battle begins as Gingka tries to attack Virgo with his Pegasus but is repelled and is seen that Virgo is spinning even faster, and comparing its spin to a beautiful ballet dancer.

Teru then reveals how Gingka was his supporter, how he used to be a ballet dancer and one of the greatest in the world, but one day a fateful accident that injured his ankle making him unable to ever become a ballet dancer again. Teru then told of the day he was inspired by Gingka and his Pegasus' were bursting teamwork and that he had bursted with a new hope and was gifted with a beyblade Earth Virgo his prima ballerina but Gingka states that he will not lose, and he will achieve his goal.

Gingka attacks Virgo and succeeds but is then repelled and then Virgo activates its special move Pirouette Tour which makes Virgo gain more speed than before repelling all of Pegasus' attacks even Starblast Attack. Gingka in attempt to win finally attempts at controlling his new special move Storm Bringer allowing Virgo to have a weak opening below allowing Gingka to knock it out of the stadium and victory. Gingka later sees Ryuga beat opponets on tv and gets determnated to catch up to him.

Not soon after his victory against Teru, Gingka is already in the finals of a challenge match in the Alamo Town Stadium, against an opponent known as Django which is said to have a launch as fast as lightning. Gingka is surprised at the speed of Django's launch but is then stunned at the sight of someone launching they're beyblade into the arena and shooting down Djano's Lightning Launch in the process causing Django a quick defeat. The culprit is none other than Tobio Oike who challenges Gingka to a beybattle to prove that he is stronger than him to the Dark Nebula.

Gingka accepts and they quickly battle with ferocity. Gingka says Pegasus will not be defeate on a head on attack but was just a diversion by Tobio as part of a plan. Tobio uses a technique known as Sniper Shot allowing his Storm Capricorn to go through small places and attack pegasus and hide for cover in a quick second. Tobio's Sniper shot repels Pegasus with ease forcing Gingka to retreat for cover.

Gingka taunts Tobio into fighting him head on but falls for Tobio's trap as Pegasus is getting attacked from all directions bouncing off the floor with its performance tip. Tobio states that the only way for him to survive is by defeating Gingka due to the fact that Ryuga can never be defeated shocking Gingka.

Gingka says he will never give up but is then caught in the site of Capricorn's special move Spin Screwdriver. Which forms a tornado falling towards Gingka's Pegasus but then counters with his special move Storm Bringer causing Tobio's Capricorn to fall slowly to the arena and knocked out of the arena by Gingka and defeat.

He later appeared helping Kenta defeat a gang of bullies lead by Busigima and believes in Sora to beat Busimja. He later does earn Ginkas respect.

Soon enough Gingka returns to Metal Bey City and meets his friends and shows that he has not yet reached 50,000 Beypoints and only has 47,000 points needed 3000 more to enter Battle Bladers which shocks his friends. Gingka notices that there are no more challenge matches available and Madoka says that if it weren't for one battle, he would have had 50,000 points ages ago. Gingka says he still has a little time left so he will figure out something. Kenta offers battling him and the other guys saying if he wins, he could use their extra points combined with his in attempt to reach 50,000, Gingka appreciates the offer but denies saying every point counts and he couldn't do that to his friends.

Madoka shows that there is one final Challenge Match that Gingka could enter saying if he wins, he could win and compete in battle Bladers, but in their way is Tsubasa stunning Gingka and co. Madoka states that how he could go so low for the Dark Nebula but is surprised to find out Tsubasa isn't a member of the Dark Nebula anymore and challenges Gingka to a beybattle, but is told that there is no time.

Tsubasa then states his story of how he was saved by Phoenix and told that he could not defeat Ryuga in the state he is now and that the only one who can at the moment is Gingka. A confused Tsubasa is told to get to know Gingka's strength and his friends which makes Gingka realizes that he has unfinished business with Ryuga and his friends stand up for him and challenge Tsubasa to a battle in order to save Gingka time and allow him to enter the challenge match.

Before Gingka can reach the Challenge Match he is redirected by his friends support and returns to the scene. Gingka says its no big deal if he misses the tournament saying he can battle Ryuga another time. and challenges Tsubasa to a beybattle. Tsubasa then states that everything Gingka does is for his friends which puzzles him and tells Gingka to level with him and how is his friends friendship added to his strength.

Phoenix comes out from his location and returns to challenge Gingka to a battle. Tsubasa says he will show Tsubasa what he meant and attacks Pheonix's beyblade. Everyone is surprised by Phoenix's strength as he defeats Tsubasa with ease. Gingka says that he never backs down from any challenge and that he will battle. Madoka tries to convince Gingka not to battle since he is dangerous and what happens if the outcome results the same as it did during their first meeting, revealing Gingka that is the whole point.

Gingka squares off for his rematch against Phoenix and starts with a powerful attack with equal strength as Fireblaze. Gingka's friends say to Gingka to use his special move Storm Bringer to put out Fireblaze's flame and win the battle quickly. Gingka says that was the whole point stunning Phoenix. Gingka commands his Special Move but fails as Phoenix commands Fireblaze to stop it repelling Pegasus and shocking Gingka, but before he realizes it Gingka's Pegasus is hammered with a wall attack by Fireblaze.

Phoenix states that Gingka cannot lose because at their last meeting Gingka stated that he will not lose and the next time he does will be the day he quits beyblade shocking Gingka. Phoenix says men don't go back on their words, Gingka agrees and commands Pegasus to attack but misses and ends up being trapped. Phoenix states that this is the for Gingka and commands his special move Burning Fire Strike.

Gingka is then told by his friends that he promised to meet them at battle Bladers. Everyone is shocked at the site that Gingka says that the battle is not over and will not lose. Gingka states that he made a solemn promise that he will make it to battle Bladers. Gingka is then surprised at the site that Kyoya has arrived and said that he will be the only one to defeat Gingka which encourages Gingka to raise his spirit and say that he will win.

Gingka uses his true strength and uses a move similar to Kyoya's Lion Gale Force Wall to extinguish Fireblaze's flame which surprises Phoenix as his attacks are being evaded. Madoka notices that all of Gingka's tactics are similar the ones his friends use repelling Fireblaze.

Tsubasa then realizes that he has picked up his friends moves and improved his own strength. Gingka then commands a special move Starblast Attack which misses its target of Fireblaze due to it only being a move that works with a target on the floor. Everyone is then surprised at Gingka stating that that was his whole plan and commands Pegasus to use its true special move Storm Bringer to attack a vulnerable Fireblaze and earning Gingka victory over Phoenix surprising everyone and earns respect from Phoenix as proof that he has defeated him by giving Gingka 48,000 Beypoints making Gingka's total 95,000 allowing him to qualify for Battle Bladers much to his friends joy.

Sooner than he believes Battle Bladers begins. Gingka is surprised that the Master of Ceremonies for Battle Bladers is none other than Doji. Gingka sees that his selected opponent for the first round was his opponent for the finals of the Survival Tournament Yu Tendo. Gingka says that him and his friends have an opportunity to defeat all of the Dark Nebula Bladers in one round and should attempt to due so with Benkei and Kenta beating Tobio and Tetstuya, while Ryuto beats Teru.

Gingka tells himself that in order to face Ryuga he must win the battle. Gingka's Pegasus gets attacked by Libra but then counters and gets repelled high into the air. Yu taunts Gingka questioning if its already over but Gingka is determined as always and commands Pegasus with a move Starblast Attack but Yu says that the move will not work on him as it didn't in their first encounter and used a move Sonic Shield repelling Pegasus, but a determined Gingka uses a new move Tornado Wing in order to attack Libra but fails as Libra's power is stronger. Yu uses a move Sonic Wave to shoot out supersonic waves from its vibrations at Pegasus who manages to dodge a couple but leaps into the air. Gingka commands Pegasus attacks Libra and says that he vows to defeat Ryuga and until then will not give up, surprising Yu and angering him to repel Pegasus. An enraged Yu uses Sonic Buster to defeat Gingka and attacks Pegasus and Kyoya notices that Yu is able to see Pegasus' position through the sandstorm he created attacking it with all its strength but Pegasus is still spinning doubting Yu and Doji's thought that he had one. Yu tells Gingka that Libra isn't just balance and stamina that he also has attack and repels Pegasus. Libra activates its special move Inferno Blast in a final attempt to defeat Gingka's Pegasus but fails as Pegasus activates its special move Storm Bringer to attack Libra and destroy his special move repelling Libra out of the arena and Yu's defeat. Gingka teaches Yu the fun in Beyblading with friends.

In the second round, Gingka faces Ryutaro Fukami, a Blader he had faced before, who he learns is a member of the Dark Nebula. Determined on making it to the finals and defeating Ryuga, Gingka faces Ryutaro with his full strength. Gingka and Pegasus start of with some hard attacks but Ryutaro and Pisces immediately counter using his bey's air controlling technique to throw back Pegasus but Pegasus continues to attack. Gingka exclaims that the battle is important and he'll lose everything if he loses and Ryutaro starts to explain how he can't lose the battle either. He starts to tell Gingka of his visions of the future with L-Drago's rein of destruction. Ryutaro calls out his special move,Distortion Drive, that changes the air pressure and starts to give Gingka headache. Gingka tries to break through but Ryutaro counters with another special move, Blazing Inferno. The move creates an allusion that engulfs Gingka in flames but he is able to withstand it. Ryutaro is amazed by the fact that Gingka shouldn't be able to stand because of the allusion. Gingka taunts Ryutaro so he changes his tactics and goes from flames to freezing Gingka in a block of ice. Ryutaro begins to think that the battle is over but Pegasus is shown to still be spinning then Gingka exclaims that it isn't over yet. He slowly breaks through the ice while Ryutaro starts to freak out about the fact that it isn't possible. Gingka breaks through the ice and exclaims how the battle isn't finished yet. Gingka explains that his fiery beyblade spirit and non stop desire to win will never let him give up until the very end of a battle. He explains that he's driving forward with everything he has and wherever he ends up will be his future. Gingka calls out his special move, Storm Bringer, and Pegasus knocks Pisces out of the stadium. He later vows to make Reiji and Ryuga pay after they hurt Kenta and Tsubassa.

In the Semi-Finals, Gingka faces Reiji Mizuchi, a Blader that destroyed Hyoma and Kenta's beyblades in previous rounds. In this fight, it appears as if Reiji is about to defeat Gingka, who's seemingly turned to stone with negative emotion. However, Gingka breaks free and declares that he is still having fun battling Reiji. Reiji can't understand why Gingka is not afraid of him. He starts to lose his composure and attacks again. Gingka finally finds an effective strategy - he blocks Reiji's attacks by mirroring his movements. Reiji finally feels fear himself as he notices Gingka, who is still smiling, is about to win. He is defeated, and has a nervous break down and Gingka wins the battle.

Shortly after winning he learns that Phenox was really his father who took on this identity after he was almost killed by Ryuga. Ryo tells Gingka that he must defeat Ryuga for it is Gingka's destiny to stop Dark Nebula from ruling the world. After hearing his story Ginkga understands why his dad did what he did it was to help him. After Kyoya losses to Ryuga in the semi finals Ginka gets determined to avenge his rival. After Ryuga beats Benkei and tells him it was thanks to him that he grew strong Gingka becomes angry. After hearing his frends will support him Gingka gets into the final battle against Ryuga. It was a hard-fought battle, one that pushed Gingka beyond his limits into new level of strength. But, with the help of his friends, Gingka envokes his Blader Spirit and battles back to overcome the odds and defeat Ryuga, but sacrifices his Beyblade in the process. When his dad tells him Pegsus is resting its wings Gingka becomes happy. Gingka accepts this as all Bladers are happy to know Gingka won. All Bladers say "3, 2, 1, Let it Rip!" as Gingka jumps into the sky!

Beyblade: Metal Masters
One year after his defeat of Ryuga, Gingka returned to Koma Village with Kenta and Madoka in order to meet up with Hyoma. His father had told him about a legendary Beyblade that was a prototype form of Storm Pegasus, but was somehow more powerful. With the help of his friends, he retrieved Pegasus and started to test out its power when a challenger appeared.

The challenger was Masamune Kadoya, a boy who claimed to be the number one blader in the world, and used Ray Striker. Masamune lost to Gingka many times, but never gave up and followed him everywhere for a battle. By practicing with Kenta, Masamune was finally able to win, but refrained from any further battles when Gingka developed a new Special Move, StarBooster Attack.

Gingka and Masamune were soon met with a new challenge by the bladers Chi-Yun Li and Mei Mei. These two were representatives of China in the Beyblade World Championships. They were also formidable bladers in a team battle, and Gingka and Masamune barely overcame them.

He was dismayed to find that since he had won Battle Bladers, he had automatically gotten a spot on the Japanese team, and had to miss out on all the fun battles. He watched as Kyoya and Masamune were selected for the other team members, but Kyoya gave up his spot, which Tsubasa obtained by defeating Yu. With the team complete, they took off for their first match in China.They played against Team Wang Hu Zhang.In the first match Massamune won against Chi-Yun -Lee.In second Tsubassa lost to Mei-Mei.Now this was all set for a tough battle it was Gingka vs Dashang.

Gingka Hagane is considered to be one of the strongest bladers in the entire Metal Saga. Most of the Bladers wanted to fight him, from the minor characters with the generic beys, to Masamune Kadoya, who came from America to fight him. Kyoya even refused to be on Team GanGan Galaxy because he wanted to fight Gingka. Gingka's achievements include winning the Battle Bladers, making him the number 1 blader in Japan, winning the world championship, and obtaining a star fragment that made him a legendary blader to defeat Nemesis and thus save the world.
