his office at hiwatari enterprises there he issued an ultimatum to kai's father abandon his silly love for toys or lose his position as heir to hiwatari enterprises kai's father chose beyblades voicing a desire to make children smile as his reason kai tried to go after his father as he walked away but was held back by his grandfather at the tender age of 10 kai took this to be a rejection by his father and took it upon himself to change his attitude donning face paint kai begins his quest to destroy beyblades the toy that stole his father away his mother was present at the confrontation in the office but she seems to serve no role neither aiding nor trying to prevent this rebellion it's much later during kai and tyson's battle in the regional championships that soichiro turns up demanding that the tournament be stopped because of this kai's father steps in and tells him to leave kai alone in the manga his rivalry with the majestics team member lies with robert rather than johnny although like in the anime he does lose to johnny just before he demands another battle in which robert volunteers the first time kai faces robert he loses horribly the next time he faces robert was in the world tournament which proved to be one of kai's hardest battles at this point though in the second match he defeats robert once again and claims that he can't stand the idea of anyone being better than him in the beyblade epilogue kai has a son named gohiwatari with an unknown wife who's seen blading with makato tyson's son go has an uncanny resemblance to kai and also dreams of defeating tyson beyblade 2000 kai appears at the end of the very first episode of the show kai is the team captain of the blade sharks a group of beybladers that terrorize others who play the game by defeating them and stealing their blades the blade sharks are made up of the following team members carlos stewart and trevor kai is also the beyblade world champion tyson granger the main protagonist of beyblade meets kai after he defeats one of kai's underlings carlos carlos's defeat damages the blade shark's reputation so kai slaps carlos across the face to punish him tyson doesn't like what he sees and challenges kai to a battle kai defeats tyson as easily as tyson did carlos even without the use of his bit beast for victory later at the blade shark's headquarters kai continues his punishment of carlos by commanding other blade sharks to destroy carlos's kid dragoon blade in front of him he also commands them to kidnap kenny a friend of tysons so they can lure tyson to their headquarters kai wants to see if tyson owns the ultimate bit beast they're in search of tyson and andrew appear and tyson challenges kai for kenny's freedom the fierce battle ends in a tie but not before tyson's able to summon his new bit beast dragoon as tyson leaves rescuing kenny kai warns him that the battle isn't over no further confrontation occurs between kai and tyson until the regional tournament in episode 3 it's revealed that kai is entering the beyblade battle tournament and is actually the returning champion while at the blade shark's headquarters he undergoes training by commanding three members to attack his dranzer s blade but he easily wins in episode 4 kai participates in the beyblade main event regional qualifying tournament kai is placed in the c block and as a returning champion he has his work cut out for him with his draws or s blade he easily wipes out most of the competition including kenny's dizzy blade which has its spring mechanism broken after this tyson comes close to assaulting kai for defeating kenny but kenny stops him from doing so instead telling tyson to challenge kai in the next round in the finals kai and tyson battle a close match but tyson wins only in the english dub after the battle the director of the bba mr dickinson offers kai a position as team captain of the blade breakers due to kai's position as the regional champion and his great experience in the sport though kai is unconvinced his pride pushes him into accepting leadership the team goes on to win the asian and american tournaments although with little participation from kai at robert's castle kai is challenged by johnny although seemingly unconvinced at first he decides to challenge him and unexpectedly loses to johnny however kai settles the score with jonny in the european tournament in which he defeats jonny at the world championship however after visiting balkov abbey kai begins acting strangely in a bold step he leaves the blade breakers and joins with his grandfather voltaire which is so ichiro in japanese and his team the demolition boys here kai reunites with a powerful bit beast he had become enraptured with as a child the seemingly perfect black bronzer with his new bit beast kai is able to get the demolition boys all the way to the finals however before these finals commence kai issues a challenge to his former team even sending a helicopter to escort them to the frozen lake by call there kai battles tyson rey and kenny overwhelming them with his power just when tyson's dragoon blade seems to be demolished max arrives on the scene with his brand new much stronger draceal blade tyson takes the opportunity to launch kai's abandoned dronzer blade and draunzer's anger as well as the combined determination of rey tyson and max manages to defeat black bronzer pushing kai to realizing the true power of friendship the ice on the lake they're standing on begins to crack but kai frozen in realization of his pride refuses to move it's only after a few words of support from his team that he sheds a tear and allows them to pull him back onto solid ground after this kai accepts his bronzer beyblade from tyson and heads back to boris's hq unleashing black bronzer and destroying their machines after that he acknowledges his role as the leader of a great team and rejoins the blade breakers for the championships he reveals the profound impact the encounter upon the ice had on him when he loses against spencer of the demolition boys proving his newfound team spirit over the last few episodes of the season kai offers rey the words of advice and support needed to ensure the bladebreakers the win they desperately need before later helping tyson to prepare for his final confrontation with tala along with the other team captains they've met throughout the season kai's beyblades for this season were drawnzer s and dronzer f kai lost stronzer for the first time against spencer but his bit beast was later returned beyblade v-force after the events of beyblade kai decides to retire from beyblading since he already topped the world he goes to a boarding school during his time there he's attacked by a mysterious blader and saves a fellow classmate and fanboy wyatt smith wright in the process the intense fight kai has with this blader rekindles his interest in beyblading and inspires him to return to the blade breakers to his surprise all of his former teammates have been attacked by mysterious bladers too these turn out to be the saint shields a group that wishes to capture the four sacred bit beasts later kai and the team encounter strange cybernetic bit beasts that are exact copies of their own bit beasts one of those to wield a prototype of these beasts is wyatt who challenges kai but is instead fought by dunga the saints shield member who attacked kai earlier wyatt loses falls into madness and later dies note this isn't revealed in the english dub instead he's treated in the hospital kai blames himself for wyatt's suffering since he had previously refused to acknowledge him as worthwhile competition driving the boy to seek other ways of gaining kai's attention afterwards the blade breakers finally fight a team that can survive the awesome power of the cyber bit beasts the psychics they're former friends but their minds are taken over by their bit beasts kai manages to break the bit beast's hold over goki the user of cyberdronzer despite having hallucinations of battling wyatt with team psychic freed from the hold of cyber bit beasts through the efforts of the blade breakers the friendships are restored the next danger is the final confrontation with the saint shield in this kai once again takes on dunga in an effort to return dreiger to rey since he lost it in a previous episode kai and rey fight in a two-on-two battle against dunga and joseph eventually reclaiming drager and defeating half of the saints shields for this season's world championship the tournament is a 2 on 2 tag team style format meaning that the blade breakers have to compete in pairs kai gets paired with rey for the competition and they make it all the way to the championship during kai's battle with zeo his bit beast bronzer was taken this upsets kai greatly and he thinks of quitting beyblading overall in this season kai seems surprisingly at his most mature while still quiet he seems happy to voice his opinion and isn't shy to offer support and even comfort when needed he also seems to develop a lot more in personality kai's beyblades in this season were draunzer f drons or v and dranzer v2 this was the second time kai lost stronzer with both his bit beast and draseal taken away by zeo however when tyson defeats zio dranzer is returned to kai's bay blade alongside jasil who has returned to max's beyblade beyblade g revolution at the start of the season kai competes with daichi for a position on the bba revolution team despite trailing behind in the match on purpose he manages to assert his dominance by claiming victory later he follows rey and max's lead and in an effort to prove to himself that he's a better blader than tyson leaves the team he joins the newly reformed team blitzkrieg boys which is no longer under boris's management his team progresses through the world championships only losing once since kai purposely throws the match he also confronts his former teammates ray and max but this doesn't phase him and he wins the matches for his team afterwards the blitzkrieg boys and bb-a revolution make it to the finals where he faces off against tyson to decide the champion the battle is more fierce more extreme and more intense than any of their past fights and is seemingly the best battle in beyblade history according to the commentators the two are locked in a stalemate mr dickinson asks the two to call it a tie and share the title for their own safety however rey votes for the match to continue quickly joined by max and many other fans and bleeders after some coaxing the two are allowed to finish their battle kai and tyson match each other blow for blow eventually releasing powerful attacks the battle rises to a level never seen before as kai and tyson seem to be able to read each other's minds ultimately kai loses by a very close margin despite this he congratulates tyson on the victory albeit he asks him to wait until next year kai is missing for some time in the anime and doesn't reappear again until the qualifiers for the bega justice 5 team meaning that he won't battle with tyson and the others in order to get rid of the bega league he stays in this tournament until the final round where he goes up against top class blader brooklyn kai does his best at overpowering brooklyn's natural talent but is badly crushed and his beyblade completely destroyed kai goes into hiding once again only to emerge as the g-revolution's fifth member he battles brooklyn using his upgraded dranzer ms blade it's a hard and torturing battle for brooklyn and in the end kai emerges as the winner however the victory doesn't come without a heavy price after the battle kai walks into the hallway and falls to his knees his beyblade shatters and bronzer dies due to his sacrifice to win the battle in the japanese version tala is seen crying in the hospital kai's fate is up to various interpretation by fans there's debate whether he dies from his injuries and only appears in spirit afterwards or that dranzer resurrects itself and kai if he did die regardless he soon returns with his wounds treated to support tyson in his final battle against brooklyn at the end he and tyson battle one last time and release their bit beasts kai's beyblades in this season were drawn's or v2 dronzer g dronzer gt and dronzer ms personality kai is the son of a noble family and heir to the huge japanese military company hiwatari enterprise he's a hard worker who's a cool serious and rather unsociable person but is full of ability in beyblading and is one of the greatest bladers to ever play the sport his most distinguishing trait is his sense of pride and fairness due to his grandfather using him for his own means kai developed a hatred of beyblades like in the manga though for a different reason he doesn't really enjoy the game because of it and it's only because of the events of the first season that he grows into actually enjoying the game kai is a proud and very confident blader who's willing to sacrifice everything to get what he wants which he usually gets through hard work sweat or steel hard determination though he doesn't seem to mind stepping on some toes on his way up he's also a quiet and mysterious person however if he at any time doesn't succeed in what he wants to do he's very likely to feel down and stays down for a while even willing to give up what he holds so dear beyblading however when the time comes he overcomes his defeat and rises stronger and even more determined than before although rather introverted kai is one of the most emotionally driven beybladers in the series and far more emotional when he beyblades depicting the great importance that beyblading holds over his life he always kept a certain distance from his teammates according to emily kai was afraid to get to know them as he might start to like them which eventually happens he has always acted alone without making friends and appears to not know the meaning of friendship after being alone and friendless most of his life only caring for his abusive grandfather who continuously used him but when kai was stuck in the ice at lake baikal and his teammates whom he had betrayed and insulted desperately tried to save him he was appalled to realize that they liked him and never stopped being his friends finally shattering the invisible wall he had created as stated by kenny as the series progresses he matures and becomes more open with his teammates and grows more comfortable around them in the end despite his differences with many of his peers in the beyblade community kai sacrifices a great deal to free the world of the influence of boris and his bega company although a tough guy he's shown to be feeding a cat with milk bringing food for a family of cats sitting with a cat in an alley and whirring over the safety of a cat whilst training near it this indicates he has a soft spot for animals showing the more human side of his nature than the cool collected and silent facade he usually wears even in the ending for the japanese g revolution oh yes he was shown feeding a dog kai actually does care about his teammates despite not showing it very often he saved max from being smashed under a meter thick glass in beyblade bought drager back to rey during a fight with dunga he saved tyson hillary ray and kenny from team psychics headquarters in v-force he saved hillary a couple of times in the island in v-force he saved his teammates from the cage that was falling due to sickle weasel and risked his life to destroy the bega league it's been demonstrated several times throughout the series that kai is very good at deductions involving certain situations and does it quickly with very few clues this includes figuring out that the dark bladers have challenged the rest of the team to a battle after seeing a light show at the top of the eiffel tower another instance from v-force was knowing that tyson dedicates his whole life towards beyblading especially when he battles a team psychic blader despite being injured or when they battle each other a perfect example from g-revolution is when he brings food to a cat and her kittens but upon seeing them eating a plethora of food brought to them he already knows that daichi is responsible for that kai is fond of old legends and prophecies as stated by max in the movie beyblade the movie fierce battle skills kai's reason for beyblading in both manga and anime is born of hatred in the manga his father chose beyblading over his family causing kai to declare war on beyblade this made him much like tyson whose own reason for beyblading was loss of his mother in season 1 of the anime he didn't blade for fun and although a strong fighting spirit he was fueled by the desire to gain power over opponents the result is he willingly stole other bladers and destroyed beyblades and was easily tempted by power preferring this over teammates while he was using black bronzer he took all of the bit beasts of the all-stars and all but gallman from the white tigers he was able to use their special moves to his advantage he didn't actually start enjoying the game until his match with spencer wherein he had rejected the bit for black bronzer in favor of his own bit bronzer this allowed draunzer to materialize with great splendor and beauty despite knowing the potential loss they could face moments later even though he lost bronzer he managed to maintain enough fighting spirit to continue on and train tyson against tala as shown in v-force kai possesses so much skill at blading that he was able to tie against dunga of the saint shields while the others lost their battles he was even able to defeat team psychic bladers without using draunzer in battle kai struggles however with new beyblade systems at times going from his old beyblade and v-force to the new bronzer v beyblade left him like the others unable to control their blades kai was able to set aside his pride and was the first to learn to control the new system blade simply by going back to basics a suggestion by hillary tachibana that tyson had mocked later he also struggled at first to master draun's rms though it turns out that the thing that was preventing control was himself kai also had skills enough to warrant him a chance to become bega league's fifth blader the offer having been given and turned down by rey moments earlier kai just wanted the opportunity to fight tyson again he accepts any challenge against him and has a strong will to see the fight until the end he however fights on his own terms and conditions and chooses who he fights for and against when he fought for the fifth position of bega he came across the naturally gifted brooklyn though kai had met many bladers he had never met anyone with a natural talent and he was caught off guard and lost because of it as shown against his second match with brooklyn he has a strong threshold for pain and heavy willpower he stood back up every time he was knocked down even though he's strong he could only take himself so far as the match drew to a climax and brooklyn looked like he was winning kai heard tyson calling his name in support this gave him the ultimate will power to fight back and win putting the victory down to being a seasoned fighter who had seen many defeats and victories learning and getting stronger noting how the other blader lost due to a lack of strong fighting spirit within him did you enjoy our video be sure to check out these
