I've not really watched much new Burst episodes lately, but I decided to watch this one because it had the new intro, and the title sounded interesting. The new blader has a yellow Wave driver. The layer is hard to tell (sorta like a mix of Dynamite or Vanish?) and the disk looks new.
The new intro looks pretty good, the part with Free, Lui and Shu look pretty cool especially, and the clips here are a bit better than the last intro, which had good clips as well.
The beginning part doesn't have too much besides Bell using Wakiya's virtual machine and hilariously breaking it, Wakiya's reaction is pretty funny. There's also a nice flashback to Episode 14 of Burst, and it's always nice to have references of the past that isn't just Red Eye or BC Sol related.
The actual battle between Valt and Bell does showcase what the new V Gear can do, the first round showing the gear tightens the lock by letting Belial resist the special attack from Valkyrie, and the second round showing how it boosts the beyblade's speed, sorta like Destroy, in a sense that it uses a large ridge to speed around.
Oh right, the rest of the battle? Valt actually lost 2 - 1, yep. It's fine, but kinda odd considering Bell still lost to Free despite wielding the F Gear, but Valt did have to face both geared Belial anyway. The issue I have is that the battles are too short, considering this is Valt, and only lasts a couple of hits at most.
Still, it is pretty cool to see Rashad seemingly pissed that Valt lost, either because his idol Valt lost and he looked up to Valt, or because he wanted to be the one to beat Valt first, but never did. The ending with Bell flashing his grin is cool, I'm assuming this'll signify how the victory will go to his head. But yeah it's not a bad episode overall.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
