no reason for him to win the tournament. he is already number 1 and is just letting bell and rashad battle becuase thats what they want and valts trying to make rashad enjoy beyblade. valt already defeated both rashad and bell so it doesn't rely matter. so valts making bell have a chance to finally beat Rashad in a 1v1

I don't think it's Valt who'll let Bell and Rashad duke it out. Yes he may be kind, but that doesn't mean he'll automatically feel sympathy towards Bell and be like "oh, you know what I pity you so you go against him". It's not like his character, you know. He may be kind but he'll always try to give his all (specially in a tournament), come out at the top and take the W no matter who it is or what relation you have with him. 
The likely scenario will most likely be Bell requesting Valt to let him battle Rashad because Bell knows he already lost one and he might not get the rematch before the tournament's already over and he may not be able to make Rashad cry in front of millions of people. And then will Valt will smile and say, "okay, you mop the floor with him for me" or some ish. THAT'S like his character.

To further enhance my point, do y'all remember when savior was damaged but Valt still wanted to battle Rashad? Some character (probably Bell) asked him why he still wanted to fight Rashad and Valt said he wanted to give him the respect of the rematch Rashad asked for.

---

Or you're probably right and Valt will realize he has battled both Rashad and Bell a ton and beat them both fair and square but on the other hand Rashad and Bell haven't so he'll probably request Wakiya to make THAT matchup happen since it's the matchup fans wanna see.

true

This doesn't really track. Yes, Valt always gives it his all, but there have been times when Valt has stepped aside from a battle. He did so with Aiger in fact, Valt was going to battle Phi on behalf of what he did to Shu, Aiger wanted to battle Phi and Valt stepped aside and let him do so.

You're right. But that was only because Aiga requested Valt to take on Phi in place of him first. It's not like Valt went up to Aiga and said "you know what, I'll let you handle him" when he himself could totally destroy Phi too (or at least I hope so 🙄) That's exactly what I meant here. It's not like him to go to Bell and give him the honor of battling Rashad instead while he has the potential to wreck both of em and win the tournament. I mean, while he might do that but that's extremely unlikely.

We'll see next week.

Maybe Valt sees Bell’s and Rashad’s conflict and want them to battle it out.

It was on Rawan Wagamy from his Instagram, I do not know why it release out at this moment

I'm actually pretty excited for this episode. I'm hoping this battle is actually a First to Burst Point System Battle so we can actually see the Burst Lock work again because now I just feel like the Animators and Writers have forgotten about the Burst Lock because Belial is always bursting ever since it got Perfect Gear. Can Belial not use the Burst Lock with all the Gears or something? For example, the battle between Rashad and Bell. If the Burst Lock was activated then theoretically Belial should've won against Raphael. If it got hit by the wall that's not really enough direct force to push past Belial's Burst Lock. If Belial were to burst while clashing with Raphael then that might've made a bit more sense but if the Burst Lock actually worked then I don't think Belial would've lost the previous battle but that's just me. Anyways, we see Ilya become sad or mad and I think it will either be for one of these 3 Reasons. 1. Rashad ignored her advice. 2. Ilya realizes that Rashad is going too far and is just pouring his revenge on Bell in this battle. 3. Raphael got burst or something surprising happened. I think the most likely thing to happen is 3. Because Raphael is being damaged right now and we don't know for certain if Rashad was fixing Raphael or what he was doing but it is most likely. Anyways, I really hope this battle will be First to Burst or maybe whoever Bursts Twice. That'd be a really interesting Format Debute. Hopefully, some of these things happen in this episode since this would make DB way more interesting and so far this season has been pretty disappointing. I'm not saying it is bad I'm just saying it could've been way better and maybe it would've been better if Bell was evil at the beginning of the series and Rashad was trying to stop him or something like that. I'm excited and hoping for a lot for this Finale and I really hope I'm not disappointed as DB has already disappointed me quite a bit. Maybe Bell will become World Champion in Episode 52 or something after a Title Match. Only the future will tell.

Some memories of RedEye vs Valt in last episode of God appeared for bonus points in this episode, I have watched the full episode.

Umm, can someone please explain this?
"Valt realized Rashad and Regnar shared a symbiotic bond as the latter spoke to Valt through Rashad."
Is it Requiem all over again or is it more of Ash-Greninja?

So Valt does pick the both of them. The battle was definitely a jam-packed one. Next week is going to get the same kind of animation as last season's finale, I can't wait!

nah no way bell went inside of raphael kinda

Aight gotta give that NBA nomination to rashad mans just pull off the slam dunk move

the scene where wakiya valt and shu were together was a very cute and wholesome

(Lol I forgot RB 28 existed...)
Also who's idea was it to give Raphael teeth? Its too cursed!

---

Also "Greatest Slam"? That's clearly Bowser's Side B!

Bell scares me. What was up with that laughing then falling asleep? I think Bell needs some help.

He's been through a lot for a kid if you look at this history all throughout the season. I mean, he's probably the youngest protagonist we had.

Rashad talking to Raphael is easily the highlight for me in this episode, idk why it just felt like such a good scene. Also Rashad pulling that slam dunk is a huge lol

PFP: Baby picture of me and one of my irl friends / ANY PRONOUNS

The way Rashad took the first round was a really clever way to win and a bit funny as well. Illya back in ep 48 told Rashad that he didnt have to worry about training the Halo because no blader could stop it from forming like payne who was able to with the use of the armor but this episode completely proved her wrong as bell with that crazy play was able to actually lodge Belial between the Halo stopping it from forming. If Rashad actually listened to Illya bell might have won. i like how this battle shows how both bell and rashad both learned from past battles with payne. Bell taking a page from Paynes book with disrupting the halo and rashad actually improving on a original flaw that payne was able to exploit by making a direct counter.

I actually just now realized that Lui and Free made a cameo in this episode after seeing it in a twitter post lol. I was kinda rushing through the episode and completely missed that part and now it had ruined the fun for me cuz if I actually saw them while watching the episode, I would've flipped out.

Also, about that scene. We saw Lui just when Bell was walking out so... does that mean Lui was on Bell's side and Free was on Rashad's? Kinda makes sense if that's the case because Lui is fond of Bell so ofc he would want him to win and you know..Free and Rashad do have a great bond over Bell soooo ofc he would want Rashad to win. Not to mention, Free isn't really on good terms with Bell as much as Lui and others are. I say this because everytime he lost to him, he seemed super pissed off to the point where he might have actually hated Bell on the inside. Either way, the bet's on Lui. No wonder he's rich cuz he places bets on the right person lol. Am I saying he's been betting with Free this entire time? YES I AM.

Rashad talking to Raphael is easily the highlight for me in this episode, idk why it just felt like such a good scene.

That scene actually completes Rashad Whole character arc (that was supposed to be more focus upon) by finally having a resonace or bond with his bey so it being a good scene is not something that comes out of no where.

Bell scares me. What was up with that laughing then falling asleep? I think Bell needs some help.

He's been through a lot for a kid if you look at this history all throughout the season. I mean, he's probably the youngest protagonist we had.

He is 10. Dante was also 10. So I'll say one of the youngest as Hyuga started at 11 and Hikaru was 12

Im actually a bit confused on what wakiya says after Valt’s decision. I could be wrong about what he says but from what i could understand he says “ok then, the one who wins the battle will settle things with Valt” which is sort of confusing since the tournament is only up to 2 wins so if bell wins wouldnt the tournament be over? As bell would already have enough wins

From what I understand, Valt declines anyway when Wakiya brings up that idea. But I do get your confusion since it's first to two points, and a win for either Bell or Rashad would give them enough.

And in terms of episode pacing with only 10 minutes there wouldn't even be enough time for a Bell Vs Valt battle (unless they do a battle that is left on a cliff hanger) and with the final episode even being called “the final battle” it would most likely be referring to final battle of the tournament and DB as a whole being Bell vs Rashad.

Basically the same thoughts I've had. They could really stick the landing here and preserve Valt's good send off.
