Phi

Phi (ファイ, Fai) is the main antagonist of the anime and manga series, Beyblade Burst Turbo. He fights with his Beyblade, Revive Phoenix 10 Friction. He is the elder twin brother of Hyde. After defeating his brother and consuming Dread Hades' power, Phi transformed his Beyblade into Dread Phoenix 10 Friction.

Appearance
Phi is a tall, fair skinned man with long white hair and two differently colored eyes: a blue right eye and a red left eye. His attire consists of a space-cadet blue sweatshirt with white borders on the sleeves and a red symbol, a crimson coat with a three-pronged tail and a shade of yellow borders and stripes, a white belt with indigo studs and buckles with an orange-red border, indigo diamond-shaped earrings, and burgundy pants fused with a pair of shoes.

After obtaining Dread Phoenix, Phi changed his attire to a black-gloved bodysuit similar to his younger brother's, but with dark-red lines on the torso, arm sleeves, and legs. The suit also sports a silver full-connected pauldron with three hexagons, a sleeveless black coat connected underneath it with a white border and interior, a three-pronged tail with red tips and flames at the base, and a two-segmented silver belt that doesn't connect with a dark-red hexagon on each tip.

When he uses his dark power, his eyes' sclerae turn black, his voice becomes distorted, and his aura changes from its fiery red-orange colour to a dark purple.

Personality
Phi presented himself as a calm, composed, nice and gentle individual upon introduction. However, he slowly revealed his true self: a dangerous, immature, ruthless, sadistic, power-hungry person who wants to become the strongest.

Phi is completely obsessed with destroying powerful Bladers thanks to a strong, evil connection between him and his Bey, Phoenix. Calling himself the 'Lord of Destruction', he has destroyed 5 beys in total and burst all the Beys in the Battle Royale. During this season, he coveted the resonance of Aiger Akabane and waited for when he would become an opponent worthy of destruction. During the Battleship Cruise, he also watched the battles to see who a worthy opponent would be to destroy. And when he upgraded his bey, he still sought to destroy Beys simply because he wanted to.

His ruthless behaviour was first shown when he destroyed Laban's Vise Leopard and Kyle's phone after they tried to read his true nature.

Phi's dark nature stemmed from his youth when his brother Hyde claimed the Bey that he had originally wanted (which was Dread Hades). This led to him holding a years-long grudge against Hyde, which ultimately culminated in him both breaking and stealing Hades for himself, which he later used to upgrade his Revive Phoenix into Dread Phoenix. When he was finally defeated for good in the season three penultimate episode, he acted like a sore loser by taking his anger at his loss out on his Bey, refusing to understand why he lost.

Phi is a sadist who likes to toy with his opponents and seems to have the mentality of a spoiled child referring to Aiger and other people as his "toys" and saying how he wants to "play" with them to see their despair. So, he promised Valt he would save his Beyblade for the last while also destroying the Beys of his closest friends Free and Shu in order to indirectly torment him. During his and Aiger's final battle, Phi made incredibly creepy faces, laughing maniacally, whispering to him in an evil way, and using deadly new moves in an attempt to trap him in a dark void and break him.

Phi has the ability to corrupt his opponents, as he was responsible for causing Aiger's dark power. He attempted to corrupt Shu during their battle, but failed because Shu was able to break free from corruption in the past and knew how to resist it. He later tried to corrupt Aiger again because he ironically cured Aiger's dark power.

Phi starts boasting about being a "god" and think he can control fate and would not loose after obtained Dread Phoenix. But when he loss to Aiger in the final battle, he gets into an argument with Hyde because he feels insulted. Luckily, he admitted that he was wrong about some things afterwards.

Background
In the past, Phi and his brother, Hyde were raised in Dread Tower and were of noble birth, but when their butler presented them with Dread Hades and Revive Phoenix, Hyde claimed Hades first, which angered Phi as he originally wanted Hades. Phi demanded Hyde to give Hades to him, but his brother adamantly refused, which made him choose Phoenix instead. This put a severe strain on the brothers' relationship in the present.

Beyblades

 * Revive Phoenix 10 Friction: Phi's primary Beyblade in Turbo.
 * Dread Phoenix 10 Friction: Phi's upgraded Beyblade in Turbo, which he made using a fragment of Hyde's Dread Hades 11Turn Zephyr'.

Special Moves

 * Phoenix Break: Phoenix's Friction Performance Tip's rubber edge grinds against the stadium and gains a huge speed and power boost to deal massive damage.
 * Revive Impact: Phoenix jumps into the air using gravity to further increase the speed and power of its fall to crash into the opponent's Bey with amazing force.
 * Revive Crush: After a big impact, Phoenix's armor ring gets knocked off. It then crashes down on the Bey while Phoenix smashes into the Bey at the same time, causing serious damage.
 * Dread Crush: A stronger version of Revive Crush where, after Phoenix absorbs a big attack its Dread Armor flies off then falls back down on the opponent as Phoenix crashes into the opponent causing massive damage.
 * Dread Cannon: When Phoenix's Dread Armor falls on the stadium floor, it can hit it to send it flying at the opponent for a powerful attack. This move also has a variant similar to Dread Gravity in episode 47, where Phoenix rapidly circles around the opponent and traps them in the centre by continuously launching its armour at them.
 * Dread Cannon Crush: Phoenix uses its Dread Cannon technique to send the Dread Armor flying at the wall; it then ricochets, and hits the opponent at the same time as Phoenix, dealing massive damage.
 * Dread Break: A stronger, more powerful version of Phoenix Break.
 * Double Dread Cannon: Phoenix knocks the Dread Armor at the opponent, then after it rebounds it knocks it at the opponent a second time, for a double attack.
 * Diving Dread Cannon Crush: Phoenix and the Dread Armor hit the wall to skyrocket into the air to hit the opponent with its powerful pincer attack in midair.
 * Final Dread Impact: Phoenix uses the wall to fly into the air, then falls back down, using gravity to increase its speed and fall on the opponent like a meteor to do massive damage. It is similar to Revive Impact.

Beyblade Burst Turbo
One of the Turbo 4, the greatest newcomers to the Blading World, Phi is undefeated and said to possess powers that rival even those of the Champion. It’s rumored that he appeared from the burning heart of a fallen star, but whatever the truth, it’s shrouded in mystery. Phi’s power is unearthly, his cruelty is legendary, and he is feared because his greatest pleasure lies in destruction.

Aiger Akabane
Phi took an interest in Aiger during the Luinor Cup, because of the latter's strong bond with Achilles, and begun waiting for when he would become an opponent worthy to destroy. Phi then corrupted Aiger with his dark resonance while destroying Laban's Vise Leopard, however he broke Achilles by accident in Episode 37. In the penultimate episode of Turbo, Phi called for a Burst-only match and tries to break Aiger's soul, by using different scary strategies, but it was no use and he was defeated.

Laban Vanot
Phi destroyed Laban's Vise Leopard after Laban tried to read his future.

Kyle Hakim
Phi destroyed Kyle's phone when he tried to cheat. Phi also taunted Kyle many times on the Battleship Cruise.

Hyde
Hyde is Phi's younger twin brother and both share a condition called Heterochromia iridum. While the two initially had little interaction at first, flashbacks of their past revealed that when the brothers were first presented with Revive Phoenix and Dread Hades, Phi originally wanted Dread Hades, but Hyde claimed it first. When he demanded that Hyde give the bey to him, he refused and kept Hades to himself which left their relationship severely strained. This was even more so confirmed after Phi broke Hyde's Dread Hades and used a fragment from its layer to transform Revive Phoenix into Dread Phoenix. They make up the final two episodes.

Evel Oxford
Evel helped to create Phi's new Beyblade and continually shows interest in collecting data on Phoenix.

Valt Aoi
Throughout the Turbo season, Phi seeks to destroy the strongest opponents, including Valt himself. When Phi later upgraded his Revive Phoenix into Dread Phoenix, Phi began targeting Valt's closest friends, Free and Shu being among them, hoping to cause indirect suffering and despair to Valt. After Geist Fafnir was shattered, Valt challenged Phi to a battle to avenge his friends. However, Phi turned him down, as he planned to save him for last. Then, after Turbo Spryzen was destroyed, Valt challenged Phi again to a battle. This time, he accepted it but Aiger also challenged him. Valt let Aiger fight Phi first. Fortunately, Aiger defeated Phi in the Turbo penultimate episode, thus sparing Valtryek from destruction.
