I'm gonna smash your dreams to bits!
— Lui Shirosagi, Beyblade Burst

Lui Shirosagi, known as Lui Shirasagijo (白鷺城ルイ, Shirasagijo Rui) in Japan, is a character appearing in the anime and manga series, Beyblade Burst. He was also the main antagonist of the first season.

He is one of the most skilled Bladers in the series, and as of now has won 5 National Championships in a row after defeating his two greatest opponents, Valt Aoi and Shu Kurenai. He is also the best of the Supreme Four and was the second best of the Big Five, and a member of Rideout. He is now the fifth best in the Big Five.

In Beyblade Burst Turbo, Lui returned with his new Turbo Beyblade, Brutal Lúinor 13 Jolt, for a title match against Valt and later to battle the champion of the Luinor Cup.

In Beyblade Burst Surge, Lui returned with the rank of S-Tier #5 with his new Lightning Beyblade, Raid Lúinor Destroy' 3A, as a competitor in the Legend Festival and the Ultimate Tag Series tournaments.

In Beyblade Burst QuadDrive, Lui returned and evolved his Raid Lúinor into his own Quad Beyblade, Guilty Lúinor Karma Metal Destroy-2.

Appearance

Lui is a pale-skinned boy with light-blue and white hair, violet eyes with a ring around them, and sharp teeth.

In Burst and Evolution, Lui's attire consists of a white feather boa which reaches down to his knees, a sky-blue dress shirt with breeches, a dark-purple tie, blue pants with black stripes, and white boots. When training, Lui wears white sneakers, a white sleeveless t-shirt with the Rideout team logo, and navy blue track pants with two white stripes. Lui was also short for the first two seasons.

In Turbo, Lui has grown taller and now and wears a sky-blue shirt with breeches and violet diamond markings and boarders, dark-blue, pants, a black elastic band slung twice around his waist and over his left shoulder, white boots with violet markings and black diamond patterns, and a long white winter coat in place of his feather boa.

In Surge, Lui wears a teal-blue shirt with breeches, violet boarders and a violet interior, blue loose pants, white boots with a violet cuff around each ankle area, a violet band on his left bicep, and a thinner white feather boa. His hair has also grown in length.

In QuadDrive, Lui wears a modified version of his Surge attire: a dark-purple shirt with breeches, red borders and interior, black loose pants, and white boots with a dark-purple ankle cuffs and caps. The violet band that was originally on his left bicep is now on his right and he now wears a yellow earring on his left ear.

When Lui resonates with his Beyblade, his hair lights up and moves in a fire-like manner.

Personality

Lui is aggressive and intense. He also may be a sadist as he is seen to inflict harm onto Shu Kurenai multiple times by creating the scar on his face, broke Spryzen, and damaging his recovering shoulder. This resulted in Shu having a deep hatred for him. Like the other members of the Supreme Four, Lui has been shown to possess some intelligence, as demonstrated when he battled Red Eye and destroyed his mask, stating afterwards that he knew it was Shu the whole time.

As shown several times throughout the series, Lui only battles opponents that he deems worthy and is not afraid to voice his opinions on others, especially if they fail to live up to his standards. However, it is hinted that he is able to tell whether or not a Blader is in sync with their bey. For example, he commended Gabe Brunai for having connected with Gaianon and this could be the reason why Lui called Valt a terrible Blader; he was able to see something that Valt couldn't. Which was that Valtryek had not yet at the time unlocked its true strength.

Lui does not like being cheered on by his peers (which was stated by Gabe and Katana when Kyo tried to do so), and initially did not believe in good sportsmanship. This is demonstrated when he criticized Shinki Mikuni for admiring Shu's skills, and later Gabe on congratulating Zac for beating him. In addition, he only wants to win with his own skill, as shown when he wins the final match against Valt Aoi, the other finalist in the Individual Tournament, due to Valtyrek accidentally bursting by itself and demands Valt to have a rematch, which Valt politely refuses. He does have a sense of honor though, stating that he does not battle against injured opponents (though ironically, he injured Shu in their first battle prior to the series).

In Beyblade Burst Turbo, he seems to have developed an interest in Aiger Akabane most likely due to his similarities to Valt. By this time, it also seems as though he's not as rude as he was in the previous two seasons.

In Beyblade Burst Surge, Lui has become much kinder & friendlier than in the first three seasons & much more caring. This is due to forming a bond with Dante Koryu to make him friendlier. He is also seen to be more heroic, as he grabbed Hyuga Hizashi to prevent him from falling to the bottom of the mountain.

Biography

Beyblade Burst

Lui is a member of Rideout, led by his friend Gabe Brunai and is one of the Supreme Four. According to Gabe's memories, Lui was a transfer student and attended the same class as Gabe. Despite usually keeping to himself, he often went to observe Gabe while he was Beyblade training and developed an interest on him and later joining the Bey Club.

He is first introduced at Zac's party as a "special guest". Upon his arrival, he shrugs off Valt's compliments towards him and gives a handshake to the other members of the Supreme Four. Later, he watches Zac and Valt's battle. After Valt loses the fight, he calls him a terrible Blader. He respects skilled and talented Bladers, but he is quite rude as he injured Shu on his right eye in the championship battle by knocking out his Bey and sent it flying right into Shu's eye. He won his 4th championship very easily by defeating Shu without any loss.

In the Finals of the Team Battle Tournament, Lui finally makes an appearance, which he never did in the past. He would later go up against Valt and win, with one instance involving Valt managing to tie in a match against him (something that no one had ever achieved before).

Later in the Individual Tournament, Lui easily defeats all of his opponents, including Ken, without any ties or losses in his battles. He also takes an interest in seeing Valt's battles, realizing that his skills are getting better. Lui once again faces Shu in the semi-finals, and wins when Shu's Storm Spryzen breaks a split second before Lost Lúinor stops spinning. Lui eventually faces Valt in the finals, but is angered and disappointed when he emerged victorious after Victory Valtryek burst upon landing on a stadium dent it had created at the start of the battle. Ultimately he acknowledges Valt's skills, in his way, showing some character growth since his debut.

Beyblade Burst Evolution

Lui first appeared doing intense training with 7 unknown Bladers. He then appeared during the match between the Raging Bulls and BC Sol, where he observed Free De La Hoya (to challenge him later on) and became impressed with Valt's growing strength. He later challenged Red Eye (who is revealed to be Shu Kurenai) to a battle. He completely crushed him with a Burst Finish. It was during this battle that Red Eye's identity was revealed, which Lui knew all along. Irritated by this, Valt Aoi challenged Lui, but he was also defeated by him as well.

Later he challenged Free, the World's Number 1 Blader. After several ties, he defeated Free with a Burst Finish as well. He is the first Blader in the series to defeat the reigning champion Free. Shu Kurenai and his new Bey, Spryzen Requiem 0 Zeta battled a hologram of him, ending with Shu's new Spryzen Bursting hologram Nightmare Lúinor Destroy. Lui competes in the International Blader's Cup with Silas Karlisle and the rest of the Big Five, beating everyone except Free. In episode 46 and 47, he was defeated by Free De La Hoya, giving him his first loss in the anime. He was then beaten by Shu Kurenai, who destroyed Nightmare Lúinor. After this loss, Lui began to laugh with joy, having received a new perspective on Beyblading.

Beyblade Burst Turbo

Lui first appeared in the ending of the fourth episode doing intense training in an isolated, icy region. He then appears in the fifth episode to challenge Valt to a title match. He defeated Aiger Akabane easily with a Burst Finish when the latter came to challenge him. However, with Valt Aoi, the score was tied with both Bladers getting a Burst Finish over each other, and with the stadium destroyed in the third round, he was unable to snatch the title of World Champion from Valt. When Suoh took Fubuki to visit Lui, Aiger and Ranjiro caught wind of this, resulting in a one on three match. Lui easily defeated all three of them with Burst finishes. Lui then announced the Lúinor Cup, where the winner would get to challenge him to a battle. In this, it is seen that Lui thinks that the weak should go home, and then states that the rest would just be amusement. Lui eventually had another battle with Aiger in the Lúinor Cup. Aiger ended up defeating him, which lead to Aiger earning Lui's respect. Lui then congratulated Aiger and gave him a Level Chip for him to use in the future.

Beyblades

Launch Style

  • Nightmare Boost: In Beyblade Burst, Lui takes a small jump and spins around and launches. While in Beyblade Burst Evolution, Lui turns around and then launches. This move gives Luinor a boost in speed and power.
  • Lightning Launch: When a Blader has achieved complete synchronization with his Beyblade, the Launcher will illuminate and sparkle, granting the bey a temporary increase in speed and power.

Special Moves

  • Lost Spiral: Lúinor speeds up with its Spiral Performance Tip and collides head-on with any opposing Bey for serious damage.
  • Dragon Crash: Luinor's metal dragon heads rotate a total of 3 times after being hit with a powerful attack. Each time a dragon head is moved, it gives Luinor a power boost but increases its Burst rate.
  • Dragon Scream: Luinor charges the opponent head-on, spinning around to allow all four of its dragon heads to strike. The heads slip underneath the opponent's Energy Layer for uppercut attacks, avoiding points of contact and dealing increased damage.
  • Brutal Squall: After being attacked, Luinor is launched into the air and hits one of the stadium walls, flipping off it and into the air. It then dives down to increase its momentum and power, allowing it to deal massive damage and often burst the opposing Bey.
  • Raid Upper: Lúinor uses the blades on the Raid Ring and 3A Chassis to attack the opposing Beyblade with a powerful uppercut.
  • Triumphant Raid:
  • Guilty Upper: Lúinor utilizes the dragon blades on the Guilty Blade to attack the opposing Beyblade with a powerful uppercut.
  • Guilty Smash: Utilizing the downward force created by the Karma Disc, Lúinor jumps into the air and dives down to increase its momentum and power, allowing it to deal massive damage caused by the metal dragon of the Guilty Blade and often burst the opposing Bey.

Official Descriptions

Beyblade Burst

Lui is an aloof genius, whose overwhelming power has led him to victory in four consecutive National Tournament championships. His disregard for the feelings of other Bladers creates friction with even his own teammates. As the strongest of the Supreme Four, he only battles opponents he thinks are worthy. If a battle isn’t a challenge, Lui wants no part in it.

Beyblade Burst Evolution

One of the Big 5, Lui’s mix of natural talent and persistence make him a nightmare to opponents. The only Blader Lui sees as a worthy rival is World Number 1 Free De La Hoya.

Beyblade Burst Turbo

Lui is one of the most feared Bladers in the world and considers Valt one of his rivals. He’s arrogant, with a mysterious personality, only battling those whom he deems as worthy opponents. There is no doubt in Lui’s mind that he is the strongest Blader in the world.

Beyblade Burst Surge

Combining overwhelming power with iron will, Lui Shirosagi is nothing but pure battle instinct. This mysterious Blading legend hones his skills day and night in his own specialized training facility atop a twisted spire of stone. He only battles against those he deems worthy, and they’d best watch out! Because when Lui enters the fray, he doesn’t hold back.

Beyblade Burst QuadDrive

Boasting overwhelming physical power and sheer force of will, Lui Shirosagi is the definition of pure battle instinct. He only faces those he deems worthy and when he does, he’s vicious and unrelenting.

Relationships

Gabe Brunai

Gabe is one of the few characters whom Lui shows genuine respect towards. As shown in a flashback, upon returning from living overseas, Lui would often observe Gabe while he practiced beyblade training, and the two eventually developed a mutual friendship between them. However, Lui still treats Gabe the same as everyone else, usually criticizing him for showing kindness and praising others.

Shu Kurenai

Lui and Shu have a bitter and intense rivalry that dates back to the previous National Tournament, where it is revealed that Lui was responsible for giving Shu his scar during their battle. Since then, Shu had been training hard to get over the disappointment and humiliation he suffered that day in order to beat Lui. By Beyblade Burst Evolution, Shu succeeded in becoming powerful enough to defeat Lui, destroying his Beyblade in the process, and thereby getting his revenge. In Surge, they seem to be on better terms with each other, as shown when Lui continously thanks Shu for bringing Lain to his island. In the Super Legend Tag League, they even smile at each other once, showing that their mutual bitterness may have lessened.

Valt Aoi

At first, Lui did not see Valt as a worthy opponent, openly calling him a terrible Blader in his introduction and acting very cold and dismissive of him, especially when Valt praised him. However, it can be assumed that, as Valt advanced to the semi-finals, winning each and every one of his matches in the Individual Tournament, Lui eventually came to recognize Valt as a strong Blader. This is confirmed when the two of them fight in the finals where he openly acknowledged Valt for unlocking Valtryek's true strength and expresses joy for able to fight him at his fullest. Though, Valt claims that Valtryek is the one who unlocked his power.

In Beyblade Burst Evolution, Lui appears during the World League Finals between the Raging Bulls and BC Sol. It was during this time that Lui recognized Valt's growing strength when he defeated Joshua Burns with a Burst Finish.

In Beyblade Burst Turbo, Lui had come to terms with the fact that Valt's spirit and strength as a Blader made him the most worthy of his rivals. This became evident when he faced off against Valt in order to take his World Champion title from him, which proved to be in vain when they destroyed the stadium in their battle and the match ended in a stalemate.

Free De La Hoya

They both hold a reverse rotation dragon bey and they know each other well. Both are members of the Big Five and they broke each other's winning streaks. Although both of them hold a rivalry, they are shown to be on better terms as of Surge, teaming together and working well with each other in the tag battle.

Aiger Akabane

Aiger challenged him but lost. Just like Valt, Lui told him that he doesn’t deserve to use the Turbo Bey that he made by himself. Lui eventually became impressed with Aiger, especially after Aiger defeated him.

Suoh Genji

He defeated Suoh in Canada when Suoh was young and he was also a training partner of Lui. In Turbo, he is now on good terms with Suoh and even let him watch him train.

Dante Koryu

At first, Lui didn't like Dante due to him not being a worthy opponent, but after they defeated Hikaru Hizashi and Rantaro Kiyama in the Legend Festival, Lui began to respect Dante as a Blader and a tag-team partner. The two also work very well together as they are seen to make up, practice, and perform near-flawless strategies multiple times, leaving their opponents in very difficult positions.

Bel Daizora

Seeing the power of Bel after he defeated Bashara Suiro, Lui challenged him to a battle, yet losing to him using Raid Lúinor Destroy' 3A.
