Seven Legendary B-Ders (後に7人のビーダー, Seinaru Shichin no Biida) is the collective name for seven special individuals and the main protagonists appearing in the anime series, Crash B-Daman.
Biography[]
Background[]
The Seven Legendary B-Ders are exclusive to the Anime Series of Crash B-Daman. They are seven special individuals each possessing the heart and soul of a true B-Der despite the B-Daman that they are using - be it a generic model or a special customized one. Everyone from the seven possesses a B-Daman that shines a brilliant, beautiful light which embodies their Passionate Soul.
Since times past, the Seven Legendary B-Ders have fought against the evil Saionji Corporation (which later became Saionji Konzern) to prevent the destruction of the world. The original Seven Legendary B-Ders are said to have reincarnated into the main protagonists in the series which are their descendants as well.
Since their legend is usually passed by word of mouth, the members of the Seven Legendary B-Ders differ from each individual retelling the story.
Crash B-Daman[]
Hayato Tamaga would always tell stories of the Seven Legendary B-Ders to his grandchildren, Hitto Tamaga and Nana Sendo. Nana had dreams and fantasies of being a damsel-in-distress that would be rescued by the Seven Legendary B-Ders. The two cousins would eventually grow up to realize their true destiny.
In the second half of the series, is made clear that the Saionji Konzern greatly fears the revival of the Seven Legendary B-Ders, so they create superweapons that will both net them huge profits and income, as well as to destroy the JBA and everything they stand for, as so to break the heart and soul of would-be Legendary B-Ders, rendering them unable to stop them.
In Hell Island's Sanctuary of Wyvern and Pegasus, the strange old man retold the story of the Seven Legendary B-Ders to Kodoh Kuraki. The Seven defeated the Saionji Corporation, which was, at the time, being led by Ikki Kida, the tyrant of Hell Island. Kodoh then realizes that being one of the Seven is his birthright. Later on, Ikki Kida recognizes Kodoh as one of the Seven Legendary B-Ders, much to his horror.
Hitto Tamaga gathers all seven despite the overwhelming odds and near-death of the six others. Before the final battle, Hitto witnessed the ghosts of three of the previous seven Legendary B-Ders. His grandfather, Hayato, encourages him to gather all Seven no matter what the cost.
In the end, they all emerged victorious against Kyousuke Arasaki, who stood as the last testament of the Saionji Konzern. With Kyousuke's defeat, the Saionjis and their evil ambitions are vanquished for good.

Trivia[]
- The Seven Legendary B-Ders, according to Nana's dream in Episode 3, are silhouettes of individuals that appear as Gray Michael Vincent, Liena Grace Vincent, Gunnos, Wen Yong Fa, Li Yong Fa, Enjyu and the last one being Hitto much to Nana's chagrin. Since these Legendary B-Ders appear to be from Battle B-Daman, Nana was probably expecting Yamato Delgado as the last one instead of her cousin.
- In the Manga series by Tomoya Kuratani, the Seven Legendary B-Ders were replaced by the Eight Descendants of the Evil Deity in which Kyousuke Arasaki, Teruma Kamioka, Kodoh Kuraki, Jyuuki plus four unnamed are part of.
