Tsubasa Otori

is a character from the Metal Fight Beyblade anime, and manga series.

Appearance
Tsubasa has long silver hair which is tied into a ponytail by using a clip with bangs that hang over his eyes. His eyes are a golden brown color. Tsubasa wears a sleeveless brown shirt with a blue trim around the shoulders. He also wears a pair of white loose fitting trousers with a pair of brown boots. Tsubasa also wears a pair of brown gloves which are up to his wrists. He also stores his Beyblade Earth Aquila (Earth Eagle in the english dub) in a bey storage box kept on his right forearm. His skin is a brownish colour and he is taller than Gingka. He looks to be about 14-16 years old.

Personality
Tsubasa is very strange because, at first sight, he seems like a nomad willing to help anyone. For example, he helped Ginga beat a group of Bladers, assisted him with catching fish and also gave advice to Gingka about beyblading. But he has other goals as well. After helping Gingka to defeat the gang of bladers, he showed Ginga his beypointer and stated: "I've got what I was after." Also, he pretended to sleep when Gingka asked him what he meant by that. To top things up, he even joined the Dark Nebula stating that he wanted the Dark Nebula to buy his skills for as high a price as possible and said that he was someone who was only interested in the power of beys and the power that he was seeking seemed to be in the Dark Nebula. However, it is shown later that he is actually a spy for the WBBA and that he was on a mission to inflitrate their headquarters to find out what they were really up to.

In season 2, it appears that Tsubasa has a dark side with a will to destroy anything around, similar to Ryuga, caused by the after effects of his devastating loss against Ryuga in the first season (see the anime sypnosis)

Anime
Tsubasa makes his first appearance in episode 24 as a coolm calm and collected blader who aided Ginga when a group of bladers ganged up on him. He traveled with Ginga for a short amount of time, and gave him various pieces of advice on beyblading which Ginga was able to use in a small tournament in which the two were finalists.

Doji takes an interest in Tsubasa and orders an investigation on him. Meanwhile, Tsubasa has infiltrated the Dark Nebula headquarters. He convinces them to hire him and is sent on various missions against Ginga and his friends, who are shocked after finding out that Tsubasa joined the Dark Nebula. However, it is later revealed in episode 39 that Tsubasa was actually working as a WBBA spy to find a way to destroy L-Drago.

In episode 45, Tsubasa battles against Ryuga and is brutally beaten. He ends up in the hospital with Hikaru and later, Kyoya.

In episode 56 he battled Kyouya and began showing signs of heightened aggression and insanity which was heavily indicated by the dark purple aura that surrounds his body while he was battling, likely due to his devastating lose to Ryuga earlier. The same thing happens in episode 61 but he collapses after the battle. Later in episode 73 he battled Benkei and Damure alongside Yuu. He goes berserk during this battle as well, and ends up being hospitalized due to mental and physical trauma.

In episode 79 his dark side takes over again, but this is the first time in which Tsubasa actually converses with it. Ryuusei was planning on taking Tsubasa off the team because of the desructive power of his dark side. However, everyone else, especially Yu, disagreed and decided to try and find a solution for Tsubasa's dark side. He then escapses from hospital after watching Li Chi Yun battle against Georg. Tsubasa appears to battle Caesar but Sophie gets in the way. Ryuuga then appears and knocks both beys out of the battle. Ryuuga eventually finds the rest of Gan Gan Galaxy and dumps an unconscious Tsubasa on the floor by their feet. After his encounter with Ryuga he returned to battle with Yu against Wells and Sophie. Unfortunately his dark side rises up again. Yu tries to help Tsubasa come to his sense but nothing seems to be working. Tsubasa is eventually able to overcome his dark side and win the battle against both his dark side and Sophie and Wells. Tsubasa is shown to be a very skilled blader, but his dark side causes him to be crazy and out of control, something that greatly affects his performance. Tsubasa has a pet eagle friend, whom is very loyal to him, the eagle follows him around and helps Tsubasa when he needs it. It is revealed in episode 79 that Tsubasa met the eagle when he was a child and the eagle was just a baby that had fallen out of a nest. With no mother around, Tsubasa took the baby and cared for it. After the eagle learned to fly, Tsubasa learned that his Aquila could likely fly too.
