I think this battle will be a big shift in story for the Season, just like Lane Vs Lui. I think we will get Rashad solidified as a proper antagonist and have the story focus on him, because up until now he's been more of a background character.

same im looking forward to rashad's development

Here's what I personally think the sequence of events is based off of the preview

Spoiler (Click to View)

Bell walks into the Gym looking for a challenge, but sees Valt and Rashad about to throw down.

Bell declares he will be the referee for this fight, but afterwards the winner will face him.

Both Bladers show off their beys. Rashad has a Savior Valkyrie, just like Valt. Due to this Bell can't decide who he thinks will win.

Rashad looks at Valt angrily and Valt stares back determined. They both go in the zone. The battle starts and they both are equals.

Rashad decides to go straight for an attack so he uses Savior Slash. Valt's Valkyrie is knocked into the air and Rashad's is heading right to it.

Valt counters using Bound Savior, and Rashad's Valkyrie speeds up to counter it. The match ends with a double burst.

Bell is super impressed by the battle and Valt thanks Rashad for the battle, but Rashad is angry.

Rashad says he hoped for Valt to seem that he's also strong, but failed by not winning. Now he wants to be completly stronger than Valt.

Rashad then leaves BC Sol. Bell is confused and Valt says that he will let Rashad go wherever he wants, but his behavior is concerning so he'll be watching out for him.

Bell sees that Valt has more concerning matters so he looks for someone else to battle, and runs into Basara again.

It's not very original but unfortunately that's what they're setting him up to be based on how he's acting and his summary.

That's a good sequence and I agree that is what will happen

Valt and Valkyrie are my favorite
[Video: https://imgflip.com/gif/61frs5://]

I actually don't dislike Rashad. It would just be absolutely ridiculous for him to beat Valt in this match. It would make zero sense. Defeating Valt with his very own bey...good lord. I don't think it's going to happen, but then again, things that don't make sense and are ridiculous have happened before. I'm also hoping this is part of a character arc for Rashad, him learning his needs to walk his own path, him coming to understand he's not Valt and he needs to walk his own road which would result him getting his own bey. If not, then this whole using Valtryek will truly be ridiculous imo.

You seem very on edge. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Rashad having Valkyrie. He should be around Valt's level in certain areas since he has the same bey. These types of complaints are the strangest ones. Who cares if he has Valkyrie? He's not gonna disrespect the Valkyrie name or something lmao.

On edge? No. Just making a point. I don't think you got what I said. Him having Valtryek at this stage isn't the problem, I'm saying him keeping Valtryek is what will be the issue. If it's used as part of Rashad's character arc, then that would be great. But if he has it the whole season that does nothing for his character when he could have actually been taken in an interesting direction by coming to understand the need to walk his own road. In addition, it would be far better for them to introduce new motifs for new bladers instead of re-using old ones for new bladers. As far as being on the same level as Valt, him simply having Valt's bey shouldn't put him on Valt's level, no one's resonance and connection to Valtryek is stronger than Valt's. Rashad doesn't even really have a connection to Valtryek as was mentioned in a previous episode.

lmao valt is bad rashad is god

First of all, you blatantly missed one of my points. I said he should be around Valt's level in certain area. The same Bey means the same speed, power, and stamina. What's gonna change is the power of special moves. Second, reusing Valkyrie isn't a war crime. Nothing about his character indicates he should be carving his own path, that's just an assumption. There's no valid reason for Rashad not having a Valkyrie. There is an actual reason why he does though.

Fair point. Without taking resonance or having an acutal bond with your bey into account then yes the beys themselves would be around the same, but when you add resonance and an acutal connection to the bey, then that's another story. Rashad isn't connected to Valtryek so it shouldn't be nearly as powerful as Valt's. 

Him keeping Valtryek does nothing for his character. Everything we've learned about Rashad tells us that he admires Valt and Valtryek which is great, but he's taken it to the point that he's emulating Valt to such a degree that he's literally copying his bey. He did it by making Brave and he took it further by making Savior. He isn't walking his own path, he's trying to walk Valt's. We see that in the series. 

In addition, I said him learning to walk his own road would be a good character arc for him and would actually make him using Valtryek at this stage part of an interesting direction to take the character. And of course there's a valid reason for him not to use Valtryek; new motifs. It's better to create new motifs for new bladers instead of re-using old ones. That keeps things fresh and adds to the canon of beys we have in-universe.

Rashad's entire character right now is that he wants to be recognized on Valt's level. Using Valkyrie to do that is a very direct way of telling Valt he's on the same level. This implies he can use Valkyrie just as well as Valt can though, and that would be pretty hard to do. Either way not having many new motif's should be expected. I don't support reusing Beys but it happens a lot these days.

I can understand if that's how you view Rashad, but everything we've seen shows us the acutal reason he's emulating Valt and Valtryek is because he admires them both and wants to get stronger by doing it this way, not necessarily trying to prove he's on Valt's level by using Valtryek. He's thinks the only way for him to become strong is by emulating Valt & Valtryek something he actually mentions; again walking Valt's path and not his own. They particularly emphasized that in episode 11. There's nothing really indicating he can use Valtryek as well as Valt. There's nothing forcing them to reuse beys for new characters. It's far better for them to give Rashad his own bey later down the line and therefore add to the canon of beys.

He's using Valtryek because he believes it's the best bey; That's what was stated In his summary. He believes the only way to get strong is by using it which is something he states in episode 11. It's his goal to surpass Valt, but he thinks the only way to become strong is by emulating him and his bey. That's the reason he's doing this, not because he thinks it will prove he's on Valt's level, he thinks it's the only way to get to Valt's level. He's not charting his own course to becoming strong, he's trying to walk Valt's road to get there.

But you can't get to Valt's level by just owning a Valkryie that's like buying Strike God Valkryie and beating everyone you battle oh no Valt's been through a lot with Valtryek and has gone through rigorous training he learned from everyone he battled and understood Valkryie like Valt stated "He's the only one that can connect with Valtrek's true feelings" that is very true because Azure Eye and (Probably) Rashad failed trying to become strong just by owning Valkryie and Ken said something that very well relates to this topic "Beys choose their bladers" That is very true that would explain why Valt is the only one that can tap into Valkryie's true feelings because Valkryie chose Valt. Also, it's almost impossible to go Valt's way to becoming stronger because like I stated before he's resonated with Valtryek and both of them have experienced things nobody else can experience the same so summing it up Rashad is wrong about just having Valkryie and going "Valt's way" to become stronger.

The only way to become stronger is going your own way that's how all the main characters became stronger that's what Rashad needs to learn so that's why Valt needs to beat Rashad in the next episode

They directly stated he aspires to be closer to Valt. He can only use a nickname (Valt brother) because he's not close enough to Valt to call him his first name. To do this he will prove he is on the same level.

But you can't get to Valt's level by just owning a Valkryie that's like buying Strike God Valkryie and beating everyone you battle oh no Valt's been through a lot with Valtryek and has gone through rigorous training he learned from everyone he battled and understood Valkryie like Valt stated "He's the only one that can connect with Valtrek's true feelings" that is very true because Azure Eye and (Probably) Rashad failed trying to become strong just by owning Valkryie and Ken said something that very well relates to this topic "Beys choose their bladers" That is very true that would explain why Valt is the only one that can tap into Valkryie's true feelings because Valkryie chose Valt.

That's not acutally what the bio said. It said that he calls Valt big brother; it's a term of endearment, it's something Kit used to do as well. It said that he wants to overcome Valt and that he believes Valtryek is the best bey, not that he's trying to prove he's on Valt's level by using it. He's trying to get to Valt's level by using Valtryek, he thinks the only way to become strong is by using it. He directly states that in episode 11. He's walking Valt's road instead of his own.

No one ever claimed this lol

My bad it says that he’s actually trying to surpass Valt, however to surpass someone of course you have to be on the same level. That’s common sense. Some random super weak blader can’t beat Valt. However if he has Valkyrie and if he can use it like Valt, he gets to be on the same level, and then would hypothetically use it better and in turn be stronger.

It's his goal. Just because it's his goal doesn't mean he's there yet. Doesn't mean he's on Valt's level. It was Kitt's goal to surpass Valt, but he never reached Valt's level. Rashad is working towards that. He's believes the only way to get there and to get strong is by using Valtryek; he says exactly that in episode 11. He's emulating Valt in order to try and reach and surpass Valt.

Again there's nothing to suggest he can use Valtryek as well as Valt can, and as I stated before, just because he's using Valtryek doesn't mean he's on Valt's level. Rashad doesn't have a connection to Valtryek, especially not one nearly as strong as Valt's connection to Valtryek which is what makes all difference in the end.
