Meanwhile, he is challenged to a reckless 1 vs 100 bey battle with the evil group "Face Hunters" led by Kyoya. This battle is the trigger for Ginga to meet Kenta Yumiya. Kenta looks up to Ginga like an older brother, and Ginga is impressed by Kenta's sincere approach to bey battles, and they begin to act together.

Ginga has a strong heart that never gives up in battle, and outside of battle he is a caring boy who cares for his friends. He grows through various bey battles, experiencing encounters with new rivals, friendships, and partings.
