Echizen

Tetsuya Watarigani and him used to be very good friends: they looked after each other, they greatly respected each other and they had fun together. However, one day, Echizen had apparently gotten in trouble and a big, black boy came looking for him. He immediately started shaking like a leaf and hid behind Tetsuya. Once Tetsuya had fought for his friend's name in a beybattle, Ichizen had already left the area a long time ago. In other words, Ichizen had built a proud fade behind which he was just a fragile, easily-intimidated boy. He was the reason why Tetsuya became a crab-freak, and the latter made him pay using his favourite animals. Considering the setting of the scene, it is probable that Echizen was severely attacked by those crabs...
