Kenta Yumiya Beyblade: Metal Fury - Episode 32

Kenta Yumiya (湯宮ケンタ / 湯宮健太, Yumiya Kenta) is one of the main characters of the Metal Saga anime and manga series and arguably the tritagonist of the saga overall.

He is one of Gingka Hagane's friends and goes to many lengths to support him. He is also friends with Madoka Amano, Benkei Hanawa, Yu Tendo, Tsubasa Otori, Kyoya Tategami and Ryuga. Kenta was formerly the owner of Flame Sagittario C145S and currently owns Flash Sagittario 230WD.

Intially poorly skilled in battle, as the series progressed, he gained confidence and become a very strong and competent blader. Through his continuous effort, he even earned the respect of the Legendary Blader Ryuga, who later passed his Star Fragment to Kenta, evolving his Bey.

In the Beyblade: Shogun Steel manga, Kenta is shown to be the store manager of B-Pit. This is due to Madoka Amano not appearing in the manga.

Beyblade: Metal Fury

RYUGA FOLLOWED BY KENTA

Kenta trying to persuade Ryuga

Kenta joins Gingka, Kyoya, Yuki and the others on their search to find the Legendary Bladers. Kenta is eager to help and is much more mature than the previous seasons. After they land on the island, he battles with Sala many times, teaching her how to become stronger.

After Gingka, Kyoya and Yuki lose to Ryuga, who refuses to join them, Kenta decides to go after Ryuga himself and make him listen and join them. He follows him to many tournaments, and is determined to make him listen. For this, he trains hard day-and-night and learns how to survive in the wild.

KentaGinga

Kenta battling Gingka

In the Beyster Island tournament, Kenta follows Ryuga, but comes across Gingka at one point of time. He battles him fiercely, but since he has not perfected his special move, he loses.

After days of training, Kenta finally challenges Ryuga again after perfecting his new special move, Diving Claw. Ryuga crushes this with his Dragon Emperor Supreme Flight, but learns that this has cracked his face bolt. This makes him take Kenta seriously, and even though he doesn't listen to him, he starts to respect him as a Blader.

After Ryuga loses to Nemesis and falls unconscious, Kenta is angered and attacks Nemesis and refuses to give up. Nemesis breaks Flame Sagittario's claws, but suddenly, Ryuga emerges and gives Kenta his star fragment's power. Kenta's Bey evolves into Flash Sagittario 230WD.

RagoVSKenta

Kenta and his new Sagittario attacking Nemesis

Pluto is not ready to accept this, and as Rago creates a barrier around his bey, Diablo Nemesis, Pluto engages Kenta with his Firefuse Darkhelm. Kenta masters the new power of his bey during this, and uses his new special move, Diving Arrow to defeat him. He helps the Bladers of the 4 Seasons form Zeus' Barrier, as the ruins collapse.

It is revealed that Nemesis survived (since a section of Fusion Hades AD145SWD landed in the barrier), and as the Bladers launch their beys against it, they are stopped and broken one-by-one. Kenta is one of the last ones to survive, but Nemesis uses Ryuga's power to destroy Kenta's Flash Sagittario. In the end, Kenta lends his power to Gingka who defeats Nemesis on his and the Legendary Bladers' behalf.

Beyblade Shogun Steel

Kenta is mentioned by Benkei when he tells Zyro Kurogane about how Kenta was a weak kid until Benkei himself trained him. Zero becomes amazed upon hearing this.

Relationships

Gingka Hagane

Kenta's relationship with Gingka is ever-growing because of the fact that Gingka has been always there whenever he needed him, in fact in the first time they met, Gingka saved Kenta from the Face Hunters which showed how much Kenta owes Gingka. It was because of Gingka, that Kenta became such a strong Beyblader. When Gingka arrived in Metal Bey City, Kenta was his immediate friend. Gingka gave much advice to Kenta about Beyblading and this is the main reason why Kenta has become so strong through out the Metal Saga.

Ryuga

Although Kenta and Ryuga did not have much of a relationship in either Metal Fusion or Metal Masters. In Metal Fury, Kenta, who was determined to become a Legendary Blader, left Gingka and Co. and went to Ryuga to ask him to come and help Gingka and his friends find the Legendary Bladers. At first, Ryuga disagrees but due to Kenta's strong determination which showed Ryuga how much Kenta cared about his friends, he accepts.

During their travels, Ryuga has helped Kenta to become stronger by breaking big boulders along with other exercises. Throughout, their relationship increases as they have begun to understand each other better. With this, Ryuga has started to help Kenta, to become a Legendary Blader.

Kenta also cares about Ryuga just like how he does with Gingka. This is evident in Sagittario's Blow, in which he relentlessly battled Ryuga in order to ensure, Ryuga would not be corrupted by Nemesis' power as he was with Lightning L-Drago 100HF. Despite losing and L-Drago Destroy's Face Bolt being cracked as a result, Kenta was successful. He cared alot about Ryuga in Metal Fury.

This is further seen in 4D039, in which after Nemesis' "Armageddon" Special Spin Move was activated, Kenta clinged to Ryuga to have Ryuga come with him and the others to escape the destruction of the temple. Ryuga refused and Gingka grabbed Kenta to safety. Ryuga was trapped in the temple's rubble as a result.In Episode 40 of Metal Fury, it was seen that Ryuga was alive but angry and wanted revenge. Later, on Nemesis vs L-Drago, Ryuga loses against Rago and Nemesis and L-Drago seems to be badly damaged . Also Ryuga is knocked unconscious groaning in pain. On An Inherited Light , after L-Drago and Ryuga disintegrate after giving Kenta and Flame Sagittario the star fragment , Kenta bursted into tears and sorrow , telling Rago he will not go down again. And so, Kenta Got A New Bey: Flash Sagittario 230WD.

Beyblades

Sagittario
MFB Archer

Flame Sagittario C145SFlameSagittario: Kenta's Primary Beyblade in Beyblade: Metal Fusion & Beyblade: Metal Masters, his first Beyblade in Beyblade: Metal Fury. It is a stamina type Beyblade that Kenta exploits as an Attack type by using its Claws.

Flash Sagittario 230WDAtack mode: Kenta's second Beyblade in Beyblade: Metal Fury. It is a stamina type Beyblade that evolved from Flame Sagittario when Ryuga enchanted his Star Fragment within it, giving it the power of L-Drago Destructor. It has incredibly powerful attack power with great endurance and speed as well.

Special Moves

Flame Sagittario

Flame Claw: Sagittario extends it's Claws on it's spin track as they ignite to engulf Sagittario in flames and slam into the opponent. While training with Ryuga, Kenta improved this technique to work in mid air and eventually developed it into Diving Claw.

Diving Claw: Derived from Sagittario's Flame Claw, Sagittario extends it's Claws and wraps itself in flames while in mid air, using the air resistance to fuel it's fire. It was difficult to control due to the content of the air and its overwhelming power, which cost Kenta his match with Gingka.

Flash Sagittario

Diving Arrow: With control of the diving claw added with Ryuga's Star Fragment, Flash Sagittario could easily manipulate flames and heat while in mid air, covering itself in a glowing ball of fire. As if an archer were firing it, Saggitario flies at the opponent, diving down and exploding the field into flames.

Beybattles

Initially, Kenta was a blader with very poor skills. However through training with Gingka and Benkei, Kenta managed to reach a high state of power and eventually managed to draw out the potential of Flame Sagittario's claws to make his own special move, which had enabled him to defeat the likes of Hikaru and her Aquario. He participated in many tournaments, even if he did not win, like in a survival battle. In Stormy Battle Royale, he makes it to second place, outlasting other opponents, including Gingka, even though Kenta was defeated by Kyoya, who called him too slow to win. Kenta had earnt 50,000 points to get into the Battle Bladers, where he had easily defeated Tetsuya, but loses in a tough fight with Reiji, who broke his bey. Despite the defeat, Kenta fought considerably very well, being the first one to bring out Reiji's full power, after bringing the latter to a hysterical state using his power.

Kenta later tried to get into the Team GanGan Galaxy, however he had finished in sixth place during the nomination tournament, due to losing against Masamune, making him ineligible to join the the World Championships. However after hearing the plans about Nemesis' revival, Kenta had trained extremely hard, reaching to absolutely high levels of through training with Ryuga. In attempts to force Ryuga to take him seriously so he would go with them to fight Nemesis. Kenta had reached such a high level of sheer power that he was even able to keep up with the likes of Gingka and his Cosmic Pegasus, which forced forced him to use all of his power to defeat Kenta. Although Kenta never won a match against Ryuga, during the battle he broke his L-Drago's facebolt, which no one had done before. During the battle with Nemesis, Ryuga gives him a star fragment and Kenta becomes the new Legendary Blader of the summer season.
