| ~ Ryuga to Gingka Hagane (Beyblade) |
Summary
Ryuga (竜牙 Ryūga), also known as the Dragon Emperor, was the main deuteragonist in the Beyblade Metal Series, preceding Sakyo Kurayami as the previous Dragon Emperor and is one of Gingka Hagane's greatest rivals. He is also one of the Legendary Bladers of the 4 Seasons, formerly being the Summer Constellation Legendary Blader before being replaced by Kenta Yumiya. Ryuga was also not only a former member of the Dark Nebula organization, but was also controlled by the Dark Power before defeating it through extenisve training that makes him one of the most powerful bladers in Beyblade. While not seen again after Metal Fury, he's strongly believed to be alive when claimed to have given Sakyo Kurayami his beyblade, Ronin Dragoon, at the time of Shogun Steel. Ryuga's partner beyblade is the unique Left-Rotating Lightning L-Drago, who evolves later in the series to become more powerful.

Also, given Ryuga wasn't worried about the abilities of Julian Konzern's Gravity Destroyer and Damaian's Hades Kerbecs in the absolute slightest, L-Drago also possibly has Resistance to Gravity Manipulation, Petrification, and BFR | All previous abilities at much higher levels, plus Fear Inducement (Ryuga can scare a tiger just by staring at it), Electricity Manipulation, Transmutation and Limited Teleportation (Ryuga and L-Drago can appear place to place near instantly in the form of red lightning), Limited Transformation via Mode Changing, Sealing (Is one of the 4 season legendary beys, who can use Gaia's power to form Zeus's barrier when together), Can use Gaia's power to wield the power of the earth, and Resistance to Fire Manipulation (L-Drago can overcome Nemesis's attacks, which can burn and destroy a bey's spirit form)
Attack Potency: Multi-Solar System level (Lightning L-Drago is just as powerful as Storm Pegasus and nearly defeated it) | Varies from Multi-Solar System level to Universe level+ at full power (Meteo L-Drago is at least equal to Galaxy Pegasus; Far surpassed the power of beys such as Dark Wolf, who's spirit form contains an entire universe inside itself; L-Drago seemingly can create a universe like Galaxy Pegasus did when it was sealed away) | At least Universe level+ (Became much stronger when evolving into L-Drago Destructor; Fought Nemesis, the God of Destruction, by itself and forced Nemesis to use a signifigant amount of power to defeat it; Is at least comparable to Cosmic Pegasus)

Range: Galactic (Lightning L-Drago fought and nearly defeated Storm Pegasus, who traveled to another galaxy in seconds) | Universal+ (Meteo L-Drago seemingly created a universe for itself like Galaxy Pegasus did) | Universal+
Standard Equipment: Lightning L-Drago, Meteo L-Drago, L-Drago Destructor, Beylauncher
Intelligence: Ryuga is an incredibly experienced Blader as he is not only known for being World-Class like Gingka and several others, but he also constantly travels the world in tough environments day by day to improve his blading skills and become the best he can be. He's also naturally gifted at battle as he learned to control L-Drago to an incredible extent, and defeat experienced bladers like Ryo Hagane and his Storm Pegasus, just literally seconds after obtaining it. Added with Gingka and Rago being the only bladers to ever defeat him in battle, Ryuga is depicted as nearly being the most powerful blader in Beyblade. L-Drago, while technically not living, is also sentient itself and can understand human speech when fighting alongside Ryuga and by possessing Ryuga it can communicate with others.
Weaknesses: Ryuga can be incredibly arrogant, cocky, and overestimate his own abilities, as well as underestimate the abilities of others like Kenta. Ryuga can also be very stubborn and ignorant at times, such as fighting Rago and Nemesis until he was beaten and not agreeing to help the Legendary Bladers in the beginning and Ryuga can't control the full extent of the Dark Power without L-Drago possessing him (though this weakness disappears in Metal Masters) | Sealing is useless in combat without all 4 Season Legendary Blader Beys and L-Drago cannot absorb power from beys who also use Reverse-Rotation like it can.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Dragon Emperor Soaring Bite Strike: Activated when the 3 dragon carvings on Lightning L-Drago's fusion wheel shift positions. Ryuga first gathers a strong amount of dark energy and fires it as a beam, either into the sky to come back down at L-Drago to absorb it, or directly at L-Drago itself. When that happens, L-Drago manifests its dragon spirit form into 3 dragons, empowered by dark energy, to either directly attack and devour the opponent or become an energy beam to finish them off.
- Dragon Emperor Soaring Destruction: A move surpassing Dragon Emperor Soaring Bite Strike. In its darker powerful spirit form, L-Drago generates even more dark power, and turns itself into a spiraling energy blast to fire at the opponent at high speeds, rivaling that of Pegasus Galaxy Nova.
- Dragon Emperor Supreme Flight: Done by the newly reborn Meteo L-Drago. L-Drago manifests into its firery dragon spirit form to directly attack the opponent, wrapped in powerful flames, and then finish them off with a powerful energy blast of fire. This move can also be performed by L-Drago Destructor, even in its Survive Mode.
- Dragon Emperor Life Destructor: L-Drago's most powerful special move, done by L-Drago Destructor. A far stronger version of Dragon Emperor Supreme Flight, even being able to do well against the God of Destruction, Nemesis.
