Reiji Mizuchi

is a character in the Metal Fight Beyblade Anime and Manga.

Appearance
He has red hair with a blonde streak running through the front of his fringe. He has eyes which are a bright yellow just like the eyes of a serpent that hide underneath his hair. He wears a long light purple shirt with a snake scale pattern across the bottom of his shirt and on the cuffs of his shirt. He also wears a pair of black, tight, leather jeans, black leather boots and has within his hair a pair of what appear to be clips with the look of snake's eyes. He often walks as though he's drunk, wavering and never actually walking straight and he tends to point a lot as well.

Personality
Mizuchi has a rather dark and cold personality. He usually keeps silent during his bey battles except for when he will speak to strike fear in his opponents heart. Mizuchi has a rather sadistic side to him such as when he was battling against Hyouma. When Mizuchi started to unleash several serpents from his beyblade and they started to attack Hyouma's Aries. Hyouma started to beg Mizuchi to stop.

But this results in no effect due to Mizuchi then laughing sadisticly and then unleashing his dark move, serpent venom strike. After Aries was severely damaged and Hyouma was screaming. Poison Serpent returned to Mizuchi's hand and he walked with a smirk on his face.

It is also clear that when Mizuchi was facing Kenta that he did not understand that Beyblade was fought using the bladers feeling and heart. This caused him to go insane and then unleashed his dark move again which destroyed Flame Saggittario.

Overall Mizuchi is a character with a cold, super insane and sadistic personality who enjoys to destroy his opponents Beyblade without any regard for their feelings. Reiji seems to hate happiness and other feelings that are supposed to be use in a beybattle cause when he fought Ginga he was afraid of Ginga's happiness and exciment. After Reji lost the battle to Ginga Hagane (he lost because of Ginga's spirit and Ginga copied Reji's moves like Perceous killing Medusa by holding up his shield and medusa seeing herself, turns herself into stone.) The poison he absorbed turned him to stone He gets fun out of battles by driving fear and darkness into his opponent. He loves to crush beys.

History
Mizuchi seems to be brought up by Dark Nebula, in a room with big screens watching all of Ginga's battles.

Quotes
Chapter 14

Sora, who is convinced of winning and shows no fear for Ryuga. He's sure, he's going to win this with his Cyber Pegasis. The battle will be Sora Atasuki and Tobio Ooike Vs. Ryuga and Mizuchi Reiji. They all fires their beyblades after the sign and the battle starts. Mizuchi's Poison Serpent quickly destroys Tobio's Storm Capricorn, only leaving a cylinder around the face bolt. When Sora sees Mizuchi is unfocused and he strikes back with his Cyber Pegasis. When Poison Serpent almost bounced out of the stadium, Mizuchi got a sort of insane and attacked Cyber Pegasis, but he got stopped by Ryuga who felt unimportant in the battle.

Chapter 16

Trivia
Sometimes the beast in his bey is Medusa, which explains why Ginga looked like he was turning into stone. A reason why in defense mode it is Serpent, and when it is in attack mode it is Medusa.

He doesn't understand a blader's spirit.
