Beyblade characters as Ancient Egyptian Gods
(In this chapter, I will only state characters that can actually fit in with the ancient Egyptian gods. Sorry for any inconvenience!)
Shu: Shu-No joke there really was an ancient Egyptian god called Shu. He was the god of air. Shu was not usually pictured because he was invisible like the wind.
Daigo: Bastet-Now before you scream at me that Bastet is a goddess, I'm aware. Bastet was a goddess with the head of a cat, and since Daigo loves cats, this goddess is perfect for him. Cats were extremely popular in Egypt because they could kill snakes, scorpions, and other nasty creatures. They also symbolized Bastet. Bastet, the goddess of cats, was just as popular. Bastet was a protective goddess, and people would wear amulets with her likeness for good luck, especially during the bad luck Demon Days at the end of each year. In cat form, Bastet is often pictured with a knife, fighting the chaos serpent Apep.
Lui: Babi-Babi was the god of wild baboons, especially alpha males. He was aggressive and bloodthirsty and was given the job of eating the wicked dead in the Underworld. He especially loved entrails. Yuck! Babi is definitely not a primate you want to fight.
Evel: Thoth-Thoth is the god of wisdom. An arbitrator who settled the disputes between good and evil, Thoth is considered as a self-created god. He maintained the universe by his mastery of calculations. The ancient Egyptians acknowledged him as an author of science, philosophy, and magic. This ibis deity was considered to be the most learned god in ancient history. Also regarded as the moon god for keeping count of time even when the sun was not there, Thoth is recognized as the one who created the 365-day calendar.
Kyle: Anubis-Anubis the god of funerals was one of the most important gods because he helped prepare the soul for the Afterlife and escorted the dead to the hall of judgment. The Egyptians noticed jackals hanging around their graveyards, so they decided jackals must be Anubis's sacred animals. Priests even wore jackal masks when they made the pharaoh's body into a mummy. Anubis helped Isis make Osiris into the first mummy. Anubis is usually pictured as a man with a jackal's head, making him the perfect god for Kyle.
Phi: Seth-The god of the desert, storms, and evil, Seth was one mean dude. His color was red, the color of sterile soil and the desert. Seth was one of the strongest of the gods, and very tricky. He became pharaoh of Egypt after killing his brother but was later overthrown by his nephew Horus. After that, Seth fled into the desert, where he controlled all the evil harsh lands outside the Nile Valley. Seth wasn't all bad, however. In the old days, he sailed on Ra's boat and helped defend the sun god from the armies of the chaos serpent Apep. Seth is usually pictured with red skin and the head of an unknown animal demon – part dog, part anteater, all ugly.
