Team Guts

Originally, Team Guts consists of only three members in their first ever JBA tournament, but later on in the story, in order to compete in the competition with other teams from different JBA department, other two members are decided for their new team.
The original members of Team Guts are as follow:

Original Team Members

Tosaka Tamago

Tamago is a young, energetic innocent boy who loves everything about B-daman and B-da Battles. He always recall crash

B-daman as his best friend, and believe in the spirit of B-ders.

Tamago always play his game fairly, and he usually has his own unique style of playing, without logic. He respects the other B-ders the same way he respects everything about B-daman, and he'll never let a single one humiliate the B-da spirit of all B-ders.

Tamago has a total of eight B-damans in the history of Super B-daman series, including his first ever B-daman, White B-daman. All of his B-damans are Power-Type. These are Tamago's B-daman, listed order of B-daman he received.

• White B-daman (Owned at the beginning of the story, supposedly from his father)
• Fighting Phoenix (The first upgraded version of OS B-daman, received after White B-daman is destroyed by Ijuin's drive shot)
• Battle Phoenix (Power-Type PI B-daman, received after Fighting Phoenix is destroyed by Ijuin's Kong Cerberus in the final round of JBA tournament)
• Combat Phoenix (Power-Type PI-EX B-daman, received at the second round of second JBA tournament)
• Guardian Phoenix (Power-Type RE B-daman, received at the final round of second JBA tournament)
• Speed Phoenix (???)
• Vanguard Phoenix(Power-Type E-Unit B-daman, received at the final round of final battle in JBA )
• Smash Phoenix (???)

Although, Tamago can by clumsy and too innocent at time being, while sighting the world at the bright side. He's not the smartest one after all, but his instinct and power is beyond normal.

Nishibe Gunma / Sniper Gunma of the West

Tamago's best friend, and also his long-time rival. Gunma is the most famous B-ders from Kanzai, who is commonly known as "Sniper Gunma" or "Sniper from the West", from his unique accuracy and rapid fire skills.

Gunma is a very strategic and intelligent person. His plan always work as effectively as he planned, and he may even think of some craziest ever tactics to overcome the enemies. He's the main man of Team Guts, and supposedly, the leader of the team.

Although, unlike Tamago, Gunma is more mature and reasoning. He look at both side of the world, to observe the good and bad of the situation. However, after being friend with Tamago, Gunma's mind sometimes becomes out-of-reason, resulting himself trying out many mission-impossible tactics when Tamago is around. Gunma believes that Tamago's spirit and power are beyond normal, and he admitted that when Tamago is around, anything can be possible.

In the history of Super B-daman series, Gunma supposedly has a total of 6 main b-daman (excluding his collections of other B-daman for researching and developing new tactics). All of his B-damans support his rapid fire skills and his accuracy in B-da Battles.

• Magnet Bomber (Owned at the beginning of the story, past about this B-daman is unknown)
• Wild Wyvern (The second upgraded OS B-daman, created after the creation of Fighting Phoenix)
• Valiant Wyvern (Rapid-Fire PI B-daman, created after the creation of Battle Phoenix)
• Spread Wyvern (Rapid-Fire PI-EX B-daman, created after the creation of Combat Phoenix)
• Flash Wyvern (Rapid-Fire RE B-daman, created after the creation of Guardian Phoenix)

Although, Gunma is very short-tempered, and rarely can be as clumsy as Tamago is. Gunma also hates to be humiliated by some B-ders, for being in an infamous unknown team like Team Guts, and for being weak without power. Gunma's only weak point is that he's scared of ghosts.
