Beyblade -> Date A Live
Here is another of my random rambles from the cold darkness that is my spirit. The last word of that sentence is apt, this Beyblade Burst and Beyblade: Metal Saga recast is based on Date A Live. Once again, the main OC of mine will be included, this time on both sides, as I have a Beyblade variant and a Date A Live variant of said OC. There's also a small list of what their abilities would be, if the intersex thing were to become a Spirit. Because all the positions of the Sefirot and Qliphoth are filled in by canon people, I had to look through the many Abrahamic angels to locate those that fit with Sahaidachny's character that were not in said respective structures of the Kabbalah. Though supposedly Uriel was the guardian of the Sefirot of Kabbalah as well as the Gatekeeper of Eden. I also looked to the Book of Revelations and the Book of Genesis and stumbled upon something called Demonolatry which seems interesting.
I thought I'd combine two of my favourite series into a post. It seems ridiculous, but I couldn't care less.
Once again, not all people from each series is included. Closest match based on MBTI and Enneagram used. A list of Spirits in each AU is supplied, in which the Angel is instead based on the person's Beyblade.

--------------------------------------------------
C.J.S. is intersex, and the closest thing humans can get to being a biological hermaphrodite. In their hypothetical arc, Furutani Youkai -> Furutani Imperfect, their Angel would only be revealed near the end, and they would mostly be seen with their Demon King.
The concepts of subconscious loneliness, self-worth, getting them to open their heart again, wanting someone to understand them, finding the truth of one's self and being able to be one's self are the core tenets of their story. After realising that last part, they spontaneously broke into silent sobbing for the first time in their life. Being mentally and emotionally bullied for 10-11 years of your life purely for personality and conditions/disabilities does that (They have Autism, Epilepsy, Todd's Paralysis, Psoriasis, Narcolepsy, Hypersensitivity, a genetic fault that results in a lack of body temperature regulation).
They often wear a lavender purple kimono as their casual outfit, and otherwise will wear an ice-blue shirt with a snowstorm-esque pattern alongside loose ice-white trousers and a thin but large lavender/soft dark purple jacket resembling a lab coat or dressing gown.* When attending Raizen, they wear the school uniform. Both variants, due to being intersex.
They are naturally lacking in emotional expression. To them, a small smile means they are extremely happy and a minuscule frown means they are incredibly unhappy. They are seemingly cold/emotionless on the surface and acted cold-hearted/emotionless to the point where they were convinced its who they were, but a slowly re-emerging emotion both confused and plagued them until they freaked out and finally revealed - shoddily at first until they suddenly shouted in confusion and despair "I don't know what's wrong with me!" - what they thought of themselves to a group that always thought they didn't care about the group before the final battle. Furu has gone suicidal and was at a mental point where the slightest thing could tip them one way or the other. They had turned out to be someone who saw themselves as some worthless cripple who had lost all use to themselves or Shido and couldn't break or change themselves for their art or for his sake. Needless to say he wasn't impressed with this revelation (I don't regret the reference). Most noticeably, they had an unexplainable intellectual and emotional obsession (read: romantic love - only fully realised in the middle of the final battle of their arc when they were told by Itsuka that they're allowed to be themselves. Cue subsequent curling up and denial with the sealed Spirits helping them realise the truth of their subconscious, which finally made them admit their inner feelings and how they came to be. Come the transition from Inverse to Normal including Uriel appearing for the first time and their subsequent defeat finally able to move on from their past, they thank Itsuka for everything and say they're ready to find out what a date is. Weirdly, they use El Elyon as a makeshift outfit for the date, because the only Spirit with less shame than Furutani is Tobiichi. It's the autism. After said date involving utilising Michael to go to a science museum, an art museum and an Italian restaurant, they willingly allow themselves to be sealed.) with the one that seals Spirits who had successfully befriended them despite previous life experiences within their subconscious. In reality, their true personality is apathetic to everyone except those they bond with, with whom they are really shy on the inside, which their lack of expression fails to show to others. They can't even start a conversation on their own. Also slightly creepy due to a natural talent for appearing out of nowhere and for casual stalking of person/people they become really romantically close to. Their emotional intelligence is absurdly low and they do not understand exactly what bonds are, only that they enjoy them. An individual with almost absurd levels of typical intelligence through prodigal talent/hard effort who had gone emotionally despondent and isolated themselves completely due to events in their life. Couple that with having been betrayed by so-called friends who turned into bullies and you have someone who simply is desperate to be understood. Prior to sealing, they saw themselves as beyond worthless and had a history of being used purely for their talents particularly in art - being an artist is their hobby and one of their passions - and intellectually. Since being sealed and joining the main group, they have become much happier upon accepting that it's alright to be themselves. They are also asexual, and demiromantic, meaning only close friends have a chance of ending up in a love-based relationship.
The theme of C. Sahaidachny is searching for the truth (after 10-11 years of mental & emotional torment & bullying for who they were desensitized them to almost everything/wrecked their emotional capacity/made them inwardly terrified of opening up to anyone) about who they are, and ultimately realizing they're allowed to be themselves and learning that they are not less than worthless. Learning not to be over-defensive around everyone and being able to trust others again are also key facets in the development towards that.
The Angel takes the form of a Shimenawa inspired by the same structure on Regnar** with colour alterations - Red -> Lavender Purple, Light Gold -> Dark Purple, White -> Black. It is engraved with various formulae and equations on the back, as well as what appears to be a painting of cold air and dandelions. The Shimenawa can also be wielded as a weapon in its own right.
The Demon King takes the form of an ethereal compass sigil**** coloured in ice-blue and ice-white. The Roman Numerals inscribed on the compass are a purposeful falsehood linking back to the motif of truth and the destruction of the barriers that stand in the way of discovering the truth, the answer so to speak.
The Astral Dress is based on Regnar** of Beyblade Burst, besides the head and the Shimenawa-esque structure which is what the Angel is based on, with the following colour alterations - White -> Ice-White, Red -> Lavender Purple, Light Gold -> Royal Purple, Blue -> Ice-Blue, Dark Grey -> Black. A halo that somewhat resembles the accretion disk of a black hole (or the hypothetical gravastar) forms above the head. The concepts of the celestial universe - and art - itself are the motif of that which essentially combines the scientific and the occult into one collection of abilities. El Elyon possesses a high durability bested only by Adonai Melek. However it is also one of the slowest, which is its one weakness, and Furutani can easily be caught in sensory overload rendering them vulnerable, particularly against multiple opponents.
In the Inverse form, the Astral Dress is more based on Genesis rather ironically, minus the head part and the lower half which is based on the image that isn't Genesis. The colour scheme is altered from the basis as the following - White -> Ice-White, Light Pink -> Ice-Blue, Gold -> Black, Red -> Dark Gold, Dark Grey -> White, Purple -> Lavender Purple. A spiked halo forms above the head and various distorted formulae and equations circle the user.
The Astral Dress is vastly different to the general norm of these clothing items in style. The Inverse Form is no more powerful than the main form, the difference is fighting style. Except for one technique in which the Angel version is weirdly more powerful than the Demon King version if only by slightly.
Clarkov's/Furu's Angel is known as Uriel - based on the being known as the Archangel of Salvation among other titles - representing the angel of wisdom and truth who guides people to answers they seek. Uriel is said to be the gatekeeper of Eden, the one who acts as bodyguard to the Kabbalah and by extension the Sefirot, the one who warned Noah of the biblical flood and one of the four angels - alongside Raphael, Michael and Gabriel - who protected the four corners of Earth.
Furu's Demon King is known as Abaddon - otherwise known as The Destroyer - representing the fallen angel of destruction and the abyss. Abaddon is said to be the embodiment of God's wrath who keeps existence in balance, unleashing their power on anything that may greatly disturb it. Essentially the enforcer of the angels. They are also regarded as playing a vital role in the Apocalypse itself, casting divine judgement on those who do not believe as well as those who fake their belief with their locust-derived plagues born from the depths of Hell.
As mentioned earlier, in the Book of Enoch, Uriel is described as the guardian of the Tree of Life (the Kabbalah, which bares the Sefirot that the main 10 Spirits are based on). As such, Furutani's Uriel would be the complete all-rounder. Their battle capabilities are roughly on par with Metatron, it has similar divination powers to Rasiel though it can't make stuff reality, and its strongest move Regalia is pretty much a better version of Eden and would override Paradise Lost if activated inside it. Which, they would do, because Furu utterly despises the entire concept of Eden as a whole. Uriel would effectively be a Story-Breaker Power like Rasiel, Michael, Eden and Ain Soph Aur.
The database would rank Furutani as an SS-Class Spirit, on the same level as Rinne and then above her too. The only reason Furutani wouldn't class as an SSS-Class Spirit is because that spot is reserved purely for Mio who is just far ahead of absolutely every other Spirit, naturally as the Spirit of Origin. Besides Mio who could still curb-stomp them despite all this, Furutani would almost certainly be the most powerful Spirit of all unless Mukuro had anything to say about it. However due to their inexperience in battle and disabilities, they would also likely be defeated by fused Yamai while being level both with Origami and Tohka due to their Fecto Elfilis-esque fighting style. Since their personality resembles (and their powers are based on) Faust and Gwyn Ronny who are at or near the top and both beyond overpowered in their respective series/verses, this absurd level of overpowered-ness would fit. Though frankly, Furu's personality resembles Rin Tezuka's more than anything. It also resembles to various extents the personalities of Mizore Shirayuki and Naho Saenoki. Furu seems confusing, but they aren't. Furu will tell you that.
In this version of the verse, the Main Spirit power ranking would go like this, along with their assigned classes for my version (equivalent to canon, except for alterations based on grading that goes from SSS to A with anything from A to C and below utilised for AST or others*):
Mio Takamiya - SSS-Class (Ain/Ain Soph/Ain Soph Aur)
Isaac Westcott - SSS-Class (Qemetiel/Belial/Athiel)
Shido Itsuka - SSS-Class (All main Angels + Uriel)
Mukuro Hoshimiya - SS-Class (Michael)
Yamai Kazamachi - SS-Class (Raphael [Fused])
Tohka Yatogami - SS-Class (Sandalphon)
Clarkov Furutani - SS-Class (Uriel)
Origami Tobiichi - SS-Class (Metatron)
Kurumi Tokisaki - SS-Class (Zaphkiel)
Nia Honjou - SS-Class (Rasiel)
Rinne Sonogami - SS-Class (Eden)
Miku Izayoi - S-Class (Gabriel)
Kotori Itsuka - S-Class (Camael)
Kaguya/Yuzuru Yamai - S-Class (Raphael)
Mayuri - S-Class (Kerubiel)
Ren - AAA-Class (Samael)
Marina Arusu - AAA-Class (???)
Rio Sonogami - AA-Class (Eden [Incomplete])
Yoshino Himekawa - AA-Class (Zadkiel)
Natsumi Kyouno - AA-Class (Haniel)
Maria Arusu - A-Class (???)
*And an extra upgrade to Miku based on the biblical idea of Michael, Uriel, Gabriel and Raphael protecting the four corners of the globe. Nia gets the extra upgrade too as I see Rasiel as better than it gets credit for, along with a slight downgrade to Rinne when scaling is taken into account. Ren and Mayuri are given a class too. The Inverse variants are the same class as the normal variants in this version, but are still generally better in combat.
Weirdly, the many yandere Spirits would include Rinne, Mukuro, Furutani and Mio, potentially even Origami and Kurumi. In essence, Furutani would be equivalent to Rin Tezuka or even Mizore Shirayuki.
The attacks are partially based on those used by Gwyn Ronny and extra info about their power is also based on Gwyn and his canon battles. They are also partially inspired by Faust and Twisted Tempo. Their main arc and recovery is also inspired by the story of Gwyn Ronny in Beyblade Burst as is the case for all variants of the OC.
Hebrew translations done online, expect wrongness.
Name: Clarkov Sahaidachny/Furutani
Qlipha Crystal: Apocalypse
Sephira Crystal: Genesis
Astral Dress: El Elyon
Angel: Uriel
Demon King: Abaddon
Codename: Sage
Angel Title: Celestial Monarch
Demon King Title: Truth In Abyss
Spirit Rank: SS-class
Inverse Rank: SS-class
Attacks of Uriel/Abaddon:
Onbashira [טוריי (Turre) -> Torii] -> A vaguely lavender purple band traces itself and expands into an ethereal barrier that looks like a celestial paintbrush stroke. It contracts upon contact and then pushes out to deflect incoming attacks. It is capable to deflecting Lahathelev (Kerubiel) and Shemesh (Metatron) at once with great effort. It is also capable of withstanding a meteor summoned by Lataib (Michael) when working together with other defensive techniques. A blast from Megiddo (Camael) or the effects of Solo (Gabriel) are enough to break Onbashira.
Veritas [אשת שלג (Esht Shelag) -> Yuki-Onna] -> A lavender purple pocket draws surrounding residue mana into the arm which forms a large ethereal blade which then back-slashes against the opponent. This move is able to defeat Zadkiel. It can also severely damage Zaphkiel. When enhanced by March (Gabriel), Veritas (Uriel) can take down Zadkiel and Haniel in one go after being momentarily pushed back. The move is sent packing by Symphony (Gabriel) if the latter is amplified by enough soundwaves.
Spectrum [מארח שמימי (Mareh Shamimi) -> Heavenly Host] -> A celestial fog that looks a bit like intergalactic space and is absurdly cold like intergalactic space appears and slowly spreads around the area surrounding Furutani, who then slowly brings their hand which is glowing lavender purple through the fog. Once fully outstretched in front of them, they then close their hand while at the same time bringing their arm still straightened from in front of them to as far behind them as it will reasonably go, causing the celestial fog to disperse. At the fog's sudden fading, the Shimenawa fades and transfers its energy in the form of equations and formulae to the user giving them a boost in power. In the Inverse Form, the wings fade instead. This move allows Uriel to hold its own against a fused Yamai's Raphael, and can be used to sustain El Elyon after Jerez (Michael) initially dismantles it. The hair turns lavender in this state.
Eclipse [רוח רפאים (Roah Refaim) -> Youkai] -> {Demon King Version} -> The corrupted form of the ultimate move of Uriel/Abaddon, used by Abaddon. The compass glows violently in an ice-blue colouring with the needles rotating counter-clockwise at breakneck speed, and the wings shift to where their end points are separated by a small gap in front of the user and emit a colossal shockwave which retracts in on itself and then gather residue mana in that gap before the energy is grabbed and thrown into the sky where it expands outwards in a bright ball of lavender purple light. Within it is a dense celestial fog within which the user forms a scissor-esque weapon***** in one hand and a Gohei/paintbrush thing in the other hand and charges towards the opponent. Eclipse (Abaddon) is capable of matching Artelif (Metatron).
Parity [סופת שלגים (Sufat Shlagim) -> Snowstorm] -> {Angel Version} -> The true nature of the ultimate move of Uriel/Abaddon, used by Uriel and unlocked after Clarkov finally realises they're allowed to be themselves, stops being Inverse and uses their Angel Uriel for the first time near the end of the hypothetical final battle between Clarkov and Shido in the fan-made arc Furutani Beginning. The Shimenawa emits a colossal shockwave and the user holds their hands to their heart and releases them. The user then holds both hands around the ball of energy and gently releases it as if they were reaching out to hug someone, upon which it forms an aura on El Elyon (similar in appearance to Eclipse Genesis's Superior-Flux) that gathers mana from the surrounding area and draws it towards below where the user is standing in the form of black-ish jagged streaks of light. Upon contact with an opposing force, the ball spreads out in a small space containing a celestial scene with ghostly structures resembling nebulae, star systems and more. The space subsequently fades as the origin point explodes and forms into the shape of a royal purple & lavender purple galaxy with quasars of the same colour erupting from the centre where Uriel's user and the opponent have collided. There's also a lot of dandelions present. The Angel equivalent is more powerful than the Demon King equivalent, a rarity for Uriel and in general. Parity (Uriel) can match and even surpass Artelif (Metatron) in direct combat.
Revelation [אמן (Amen) -> Artist] -> The natural ability of Uriel to quantify and produce a solution for any subjective problem that comes to the user's mind, no matter how difficult. It manifests in the form of equations and formulae flowing from the Shimenawa into the head. However it is ineffective when confronted with objective problems. The Inverse Form does not have this ability as it is clouded by vast negative emotions. Think of it like this, Rasiel excels at objective information while Uriel excels at subjective information.
Regalia [עיוות/מושלם (Katawa/Amants) -> Imperfect] -> Uriel's final and most powerful ability after having it's hidden power hypothetically unlocked by Shifuru (Michael). The Shimenawa moves from behind the user to the front and emits a shockwave even greater than that from Parity, powerful enough to shake the entire vicinity for miles around and partially shred Astral Dresses caught within the blast. From the focal point of the shockwave, a barrier similar to that of Parity expands outward that contains its own reality which Uriel has total control of via a shrine complete with a torii and onbashira in the epicentre of a field covered in snow and dandelions. It is extremely similar to Paradise Lost (Eden) and is effectively a superior version of Eden in terms of power and capabilities but is vastly outclassed by Ain Soph because of course it is. It can also act as a defensive barrier capable of withstanding attacks from both Halvanhelev (Sandalphon) and El Kanaph (Raphael) at the same time.
The Limited form, after being sealed, has access to vastly weakened variants of its abilities. Shifuru (Michael) is capable of awakening Uriel's hidden power. With the fading of Genesis alongside the other Sephira Crystals, El Elyon and Uriel disappeared with them.
Uriel is virtually powerless against Ain Soph Aur, Ain Soph and Ain. The likes of Henet and Anaph crush Onbashira, Veritas, Lustrous and Parity into fine dust. However Revelation can help hold back the effects of Ain Soph briefly. Even Regalia is completely rended by Ain Soph and Ain, mainly because while Regalia is superior to Eden, Ain Soph is vastly superior to Regalia. The barrier form of Regalia is also overpowered.
**Images of Regnar. Try and imagine it as an Astral Dress called El Elyon and omit the parts that wouldn't work in one.
***Images of Genesis. Try imagine it as an Inverse form of an Astral Dress called El Elyon and omit the parts that wouldn't work in one. Also another image. The lower section of their clothing is what the lower section of Inverse El Elyon looks like.

What do you think about Dino? His relationship with Tsuna and his guardians and his home tutor reborn. Do you think dino was like tsuna once before reborn came into his life. Lastly, who do you personally think reborn has more of a connection with Tsuna or Dino I obviously think canonically he was more impacted by Tsuna since obviously who dosen't he is the protagnist lol? I think he does care for them both but only because he trained them himself.
hi nonny, thank you for the ask!
oh i love dino so much, he's one of my favs. but now i realize there's actually not much to say about him? not in a "he was poorly written" way, but in a "he wasn't written to be a memorable, impactful character in the story" way, if you get what i mean. it's like, he's meant to be a parallel to tsuna and an idea of what he could become post reborn tutoring, and an example of what a good mafia and good mafiosi/bosses (could) looks like, and a tutor and someone who helps raise the next generation here and now, but then... nothing's ever really done with any of it?
i'll say again i'm not saying here dino is a one dimensional character. the things we know about him and that were shown about him are more than enough to infer more about him even if it's never really shown on pages, but at the same time the thing is that it is never really shown on pages. i'm thinking for example when he shows up to stop squalo when squalo attacks the tenth gen, and squalo doesn't back down, but definitely acknowledges dino as a threat and more trouble than it might be worth it right away. or one of my fav scenes of dino, when after the rain battle he thinks "they're just kids" with that expression on his face as they all think squalo was just eaten by a shark in front of them (wait, he knows better at that time actually lol). and moments like these really say interesting things about him, but we're always left to think about them and figuring them out ourselves.
so what i think about his relationship with tsuna and his guardians and reborn is pretty much something like "well, he has them i guess *shrug*" lol. and i'm not trying to say they aren't meaningful, don't get me wrong, but it's like. we never actually see him being tsuna older brother and listening to his worries about being made to become vongola decimo against his will, and advising/comforting him and sharing his similar experience with him on the matter. and we never see what he thinks about reborn not being his home tutor anymore even if he says there was still much more he wanted to learn from him when he left him to go tutor tsuna. actually, i think he fakes some kind of resentment towards tsuna about that when he first meets him? but whether that actually happened or not, wouldn't that have been interesting to first have some kind of conflict between him and tsuna about the matter before he self-proclaimed himself tsuan's big brother? and as for his guardians, well. not even sure what to say here, because even if he's almost always shown with them, they're just there to love him and show what a good boss he is and nothing more lol.
also tyl!dino too, you know? who's pretty much just like present!dino even if it was the opportunity to do something different, especially when the future was the way it was. now of course dino isn't among the khr characters who still need to go on a growing journey, he already did that pre-canon so of course he stays consistent throughout the whole manga. couldn't do what he's in the story to do otherwise, but still. tyl!dino still could have been the opportunity to show us something new about him.
but it didn't happen and it's fine!! or, for me at least. like, dino is in the story just to be likeable and be part of the good guys and part of the supportive cast to the main cast, and he does that just fine without having been reduced to a one dimensional character in the process, and he doesn't really do anything more than that, but that's fine, that's the point of him as a character, that’s enough in and of itself. and it's fine by me as far as i'm concerned.
and yeah, i do think he was like tsuna before reborn came in his life because it’s explicitly said in the manga he was haha! it’s the whole basis of him proclaiming himself as tsuna’s big brother to begin with. and actually, did you read the secret bullet novel about him translated by @ 10th-vongola? because it really makes it clear he wanted nothing to do with the mafia too at first, but then came around for the sake of his family, which is very tsuna-like. oh wait, it’s actually kind of fun how dino is the og tsuna in a way lol.
as for who reborn is more connected with, i think too it’s just gotta be tsuna. and though i don’t want to undermine his bond with dino which is also a meaningful one (like, if you read the novel reborn actually helps him get through the death of his father among other things), maybe i’d even say there’s really no comparison to be made here at all. and the reason i think that way is because, when it comes down to it, tsuna and reborn (come to) have a much more of an equal relationship than reborn and dino ever had. as far as we can tell anyway, because re: amano never digging deeper into dino, meaning we got little about him and reborn, and i think whenever they interacted it actually never was about them as former tutor and student, but yeah, unlike tsuna and rebon, i don’t think dino and reborn ever got the opportunity to be more than student and tutor (which is no fault of dino, of course).
that, plus the fact that not only reborn turned tsuna’s life upside down, in a way he couldn’t have done with dino who was mafia born and mafia raised, and deep down must have known him becoming boss was always going to happen, but like you said, tsuna impacted reborn’s life too just as much. he literally saved his life and gave him back a future to look forwards to, standing up against him in the process, because reborn didn’t want to let him try and didn’t believe he was going to survive trying.
and not only reborn turned tsuna’s life upside down mafia wise, but also, like. ah, i’m not sure how to put it lol. like, personality wise too? like, tsuna went through so much growth and became the best version of himself thanks to and because of reborn staying by his side and seeing to it he did, and not just as vongola decimo to be. in fact, if it was (only) that, he’d have stopped tsuna or changed the course of his growth, but instead he allowed him and helped him and encouraged him into growing as a person first and foremost, which of course means a lot. (hope all of this just made sense lol.)
i do think he cares about them too, but i think it’s making reborn more cold and uncaring than he is to say he does so just because they were his pet projects lol. i mean, at first, yeah, for sure, but then he came around, and i for one believe he came around to genuinely and meaningfully and personally care for them. or for tsuna at the very least, but for me dino too, no doubt. for me he cares about them less in a “look at the successful result of a job well-done” way (though i wouldn’t necessarily bet he doesn’t and wouldn’t be surprised if he does, it would be in character for him), and more in a “look at the successful and good men i helped raised and put a bit of myself in them which makes me even prouder and protective of them” way.
