What are you talking about? It does have plot, it's just not associated with the main character. DB only progressed with Valt and Rashad's relationship/rivalry and that was the only good thing about it. There's a reason why you see them both on top of DB's poster. They "are" the attractions of the season.
And then, Bell's just there to prove that he's the best of the best even tho he starts getting absolutely destroyed by everyone after the first 6/7 episodes of the season. We all know that the DB tour was arbitrary and literally didn't contribute anything to the plot. The characters truly needed for DB were Valt and Rashad. There's a reason as to why they brought in the legends for this series even tho they were absolutely trash this season. It was to bring in views. They put Lui, Free and Shu on the poster so many people would watch it because they're fan favorites. They learned that from GT. Removing the most popular characters this late into Beyblade Burst Gen where it's starting to die slowly means it's going to flop hard. That's DB in a big nutshell lol.
Good post, and I agree that Rashad and Valt were supposed to be the focus of this season - and I was actually looking forward to it. The problem is, I don't feel like they managed to characterise them very well. I expected some sort of a conflict, some trouble that the characters have to go through in order to grow. But the only dilemma that they've experienced so far was debating whether they should upgrade their beys, something I'd consider to be boring at best and insulting to the fans who actually buy the product at worst.
Then Phenomeno appeared, and it's actually the type of conflict and "something happening" I've been longing for. But I'm still dissapointed lol. First - it came way too late. Second - it's stupid. Phenomeno being super edgy and hating Rashad because he said battling him is boring is kinda... meh? My reaction was exactly the same as Bell's - "Wait.. that's it? Uh..."
Third - and I still hope we might see an explanation for this - it's really out of character for Rashad. Why would he say that? This doesn't make much sense.
