Damian from Teamstar breaker. Despite his lack of screen time overall in the Metal series, he has left quite an impression amongst fans, with people believing he should’ve become a legendary blader in Metal fury. I’ll speak more on that later but I do believe Damian is one of the best antagonists introduced in the series and despite his shortly lived appearance, without a doubt he was one of the biggest menaces in the metal series. Damian’s introduction would be around half way through the masters series, when Tsubasa and Yu just get done recovering and are doing some friendly sparring before Damian comes up to them and flexes an explosion that would put Yu and Tsubasa right back into the hospital. This would be just a taste of what's to come as we get to see just how terrifying Damian is against Julian. Now Julian Konzern did NOT deserve the treatment he got during this fight. Especially given that he was the biggest challenge Gingka had faced up to that point in the tournament, and to have everything taken away from him with just this one match is actually insane. Like bro Damian with every hit to gravity destroyer, destroys the future Julian worked himself so hard to get. We learned through this fight that Damian is so strong because of Zigarots arrangements, which is a system that specific bladers can go through to reach their max potential. Damian was fortunate enough to be one of the few who can get results beyond expectation. Leading into him thinking that he’s “chosen” to be the strongest. He battles other people not because he likes strong opponents , but rather it’s because it was something he was meant to do. He battles because he was specifically chosen for it and so he will do what he needs to in order to fulfill this role. Everyone mentions how bro summons gates to hades or how he ruined a man's career with a spinning top, but under the surface level Damian vs Julian is a battle between two people who strive to be the strongest for very similar reasons. Damian is chosen to be the best, so he believes he has to be, while Julian’s family is always the best in every field, so he has to be at the top of Beyblade. The difference between these two being the work ethic and the fact that one of them had a genuine spirit for Beyblade. Damian is literally just Julian if his family offrip was at the top and he never had to put in the work, which may be a reason why Damian was able to live rent free inside of Julian’s mind, destroying Excalibur’s chances at victory in one special move. After this fight as we know he’d go on to fight Gingka where we get one of the best fights and dynamics in the entire series. As we’ve established Julian and Damian’s similar natures, we get to see how Damian interacts with someone who has the opposite nature as himself. Gingka is someone who had to legitimately rediscover his own strength and ensure hope into the future even when the odds were stacked against him. Even when his future or destiny told him otherwise, he always prevailed and chose a destiny he wanted rather than deciding one already chosen. And even when Damian tried doing everything to stripe his hope away, Gingka stayed locked in and gave Damian the biggest humbling in his life by this point. He would get kicked out of his own special move and then knocked back into it before then having to go through another arrangement to fight Gingka again. This is when he’s met with Kyoya who out of any character in the series, represents what it means to choose your own path the best as we’ve seen him legit go from a street thug to one of the most respectable bladers on the planet. And he’d suffer an even bigger humbling than the last fight, with the realm in his own gate being blown up from the inside, and he himself screaming like a baby as he’s getting bullied.
