Yeah, so Shu lost today. I know it sucks, but this is the main antagonist to be fair, not to mention an upgrade meant to be more powerful than the last.

And you know, I don't get when people say Lean has "plot armour", honestly it's not like his wins aren't plausible, he is established to be a very talented blader from the start. It's not like Lean was a total newbie when he's first seen and instantly became talented.

Shu in Season 1 basically won all the time until Lui, where was the people complaining about Shu having plot armour there? Oh that's right, because Shu is the fan favourite he tends to be overlooked. Yes, I know Shu has had many seasons to establish himself as a very talented blader, but remember that in Season 1, he didn't have all those seasons to build up how strong he was. Lane isn't all that different. Both Shu and Lane start their own debut seasons as, not only super talented, but as part of some high rank.

I'm aware that Lean is basically beating a bunch of legendary bladers, and while I don't exactly appreciate them becoming fodder, these bladers are not unbeatable either. At least they were beaten by a purportedly super talented and experienced blader, trained by Shu no less.

Also, Shu never once uses left spin in this match, I'm guessing they're saving that for later since it's clearly the stronger mode.

I expect them to make a comeback. They have too.

The problem with Lane is that he's the most boring character in the show right now. He's strong. He likes to scream about his flare, a lot. And.. that's it. What else can you say about him?

I really hope so. I think that would be a great way of getting this train back on the track.

I don't see any of the legends beating lean right now because it will just make the tension goes out or disappear

I mean, it would be great but I doubt they really can. There’s just not much time left.

True, but only a main character can legitimately beat Lane by burst anime logic and it’s been true for all burst seasons. I know Aiga beat Lane but the anime already established it was a fluke since Lucifer was accidentally knocked off balance by Hyperion. The main characters of this seasons are The Asahi bros, Rantaro, Shu and Valt. We can pretty much cross Rantaro out as he isn’t really playing a heroic role like the other main cast members. The bros (or a single brother) will definitely beat him but that leaves us with Valt and Shu. I don’t think they can have the bros and Valt/Shu all beat Lane within the remaining 10 episodes of the sparking anime.

Didn't say I liked it lol. He did break their beys though so they at least deserve to get some payback.

Yeah, but the legends were training for 5 seasons. They deserve to beat him, cuz they've worked way harder.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the legends taking Lane to town. Just don't think it going to happen.
