Phoenix (フェニックス, Fenikkusu) is a recurring character in the Metal Saga, making his debut in Beyblade: Metal Fusion.
He is the mysterious alter ego of Ryo Hagane, who watched over Gingka's gang. Even so, Phoenix is a powerful Beyblader who turns his enemies into ashes with his Burn Fireblaze 135MS.
Phoenix is always dressed in a red coat that reaches down to his knees. He also constantly wore a metal mask and wig that appears to symbolize a phoenix, to hide his identity. He wears a black/brown shirt and long pants for the time being and carries Burn Fireblaze on his belt. He wears black boots with red designs on them.
He is the tallest character in the show, even among the adults as he towers over Benkei Hanawa.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion
Phoenix appears out of nowhere to Gingka and his friends, thoroughly as he watched the battle royal in MF032. He later appears conforting Tetsuya Watarigani and giving Gingka the pointer the crab blader stole. Phoenix and Gingka have a battle and Phoenix crushes Gingka's Beypointer after beating him. He later saved Tsubasa Otori from Ryuga when the latter was going to beat Tsubasa. He then talks with him, becoming his ally. He tells Tsubasa to get to know Gingka's friends. After Tsubasa beats Hyoma, Kenta, Benkei, and Hikaru Hasama, he tells Tsubasa he won't understand and beats him. Phoenix battles Gingka, who managed to win with his growing strength. Phoenix is impressed with Gingka and returns his Beypoints. Nearing the Finale, Phoenix is shown to be Gingka's father when he saved Hyoma and Kenta from chandelier shards and one of the shards chipped off his mask.
Beyblade: Metal Masters
Phoenix makes a short appearance in Metal Masters when Team Wang Hu Zhong were battling members of GanGan Galaxy to be a member. Phoenix interrupts the battle with his Burn Fireblaze and easily wins.
