Beyblade Burst DB Episode #52 (March 18, 2022)

very good battle and a good ending to the burst series
Shame we didn't see Phenomeno or any of the other characters (like in the MFB anime or the Burst manga) but the animation and battle itself was quite nice. Regardless, thankful for Hiro Morita and the anime production team for working hard to produce over six years of content.
Since this is the last episode of Burst, as far as I know at least, I decided to watch and review this one to see how it holds up.

I'm going to be fair and only give my thoughts on it based on being the final DB episode, not based on it being the final Burst episode ever. I expect this to wrap up DB well, not the whole series overall.


It's weird that Burst's anime has ended after so long, six seasons, which is an insane amount, the amount of work put in cannot be denied, and I'm just glad it kept Burst going for so long.

The ending was trash bro, especially for a series.

Even I have to agree
Incredibly disappointing ending, just like the whole season. The extra chapter from the manga showing other characters wasn't adapted, so the WHOLE BURST SERIES ends but only people who appeared in Dynamite get an "ending" (it wasn't any form of conclusion either though so whatever I guess.)

Rashad supposedly finally becomes able to properly connect with Raphael... only to lose to Bell for no reason. There were some signs they were setting up Rashad to be the true "main character" of this season and if he ended up winning it'd have been actually interesting. But oh well, not like this one battle changes anything. Irrelevant tournament and irrelevant battles.

Overall, Burst ended at Cho-Z for me, with GT being a nice OVA-like after story. Now, to forget Dynamite even exists so I can actually enjoy Burst again..
You thought I was going to miss the finale too? Nope and I'm back to give my thoughts on the last episode of DB..ahem- *of Beyblade Burst*.
For the final episode of DB, it's clearly one of the best finales. I'd probably rate it below Cho-Z but to see Lui after so many months was the best part for me.
But as a finale of the entire series, yeah it's kind of disappointing. They could've done and added so much more to bring back all the nostalgia but apparently ADK emotions have forgot about the hundreds of character that made this series what it is today.
Either way, we should appreciate it since it's the last episode and I'm going to miss Beyblade Burst soo much. I was kinda late to the party as I only started watching burst around 2 years ago but it still stings me to the heart to say goodbye to it.
Now let's give you the episode review that absolutely nobody asked for. Rashad has grasped his old persona again and Bell is just the usual Bell. Kinda crazy they've gone from friends to extreme rivals to being friends/rivals again. But I guess that's how every Burst protagonist-antagonist relationship works. This finale was different compared to other finales of Burst. Because this time around, we had two good guys fighting it out rather than one evil guy and one good guy. That's what made this finale very unique. The battle itself was jam-packed and extremely fun and nerve-racking to watch. 1v1 battles have always been the best so this battle tops the sparking one by a wide margin imo. I absolutely loved the color theme they decided to choose for this one too. Bell and Rashad fighting it out in kind of a greenish tint atmosphere was lovely. Although Raphael bursting like that was no fun to watch but we all saw it coming I guess. We got a bunch of scenes of Lui and Free that I'm probably gonna rematch tens of times just because it's about the last time we saw them. They didn't do anything crazy with Shu tho so that's kind of concerning.
Lastly, all good things must come to an end, right? Let's sit back for once and thank Burst for the wonderful 6-7 years they delivered to us. It made most of our childhood. By the time the next series comes, we'll probably all be grown up adults lol. Fun fact: DB was the only season that I watched from the beginning to the end in real time so it will always have a special place in my heart. I'm not even afraid to say that it's the best season for me because I got to watch and experience it in real time. Anyway, that's probably my final review for any episodes and I'm thankful to all the members in the WBO community, y'all are amazing and have a good day. Sayonara>

This has been me Needforspeed and i greatly thank Mr.Morita and the staff for the great series see you until we meet again some day.
i think we can all agree this was a better ending than zero g.
We need more fan fictions from now lol
*Insert Kirby’s Triumphant Return->Milky Way Wishes Credits*
RIP. Now where do we go from here?
Well its une end.  To think this will be my final anime review after 6 yr huh. Now the battle was good with good animation few good Scene,  now the ending was whatever but it fit this season. Now did it fit the entire burst season nah. I said before ill say it again the manga ending is miles away better than the anime ending Where they show what most of the characters abd what their doing. Db anime for me overall is a 3/10., anime overall its a 5/10 while manga is a 7/10, But for the franchise as a whole its 6/10 we had some highs and some lows but overall it was an Amazing ride. My thx goes to Morita for that and it was a Pleasure to have been with all of you guys while being free it was fun being here. Although I wont be here that much anymore (ill drop by when beys get reveals of course as i'm a collactor). So see you around everyone stay safe and enjoy life Peace
if i had to pick between the anime or the manga i would pick the anime. the manga was promising but you could tell that it being monthly was holding it back and there was some big cracks in the db manga. like basara ranzo and ilya being useless and doing nothing to the plot. valt made ultimate only to lose. shu just battled once then left and did nothing to the plot

That's not exactly an accomplishment though. You can say a lot of seasons ended better than Zero G. In my honest opinion, I personally disagree that DB did it better than Zero G, there's probably a good reason why we never got the fabled Season 7. It's fine if people don't agree with me, but let me explain my thoughts:

For me, while DB's has the more entertaining and visually stunning final battle than Zero G, Zero G had the more satisfying final ending scene than DB, it was more respectful to their entire cast, because we at least saw a small picture montage of some of the characters in MFB that didn't appear elsewhere in Zero G (Kenta, Ryu, Hikaru, Sora, Kyoya, Ryuto, Tetsuya, Team Wang Hu Zhong, Team Lovushka, Team Excalibur, Team Dungeon, Aguma, Bao, you get my point). Zero G at least showed us their worldbuilding. I wished DB had a slight picture montage of some past characters, but we never got that sadly. It doesn't even have to be all, but maybe more major characters like Rantaro, Ranjiro, Sisco, Daina, Cuza, Kensuke, Aiga, Drum, Fubuki, Delta, Amane, Asahi Bros, Lean, Phi and all that, and it just had to be a picture montage, no animation needed.

I don't think DB had a particularly bad finale, but I honestly don't think it's better than Zero G's finale, which also isn't that good for me. The DB and Zero G finales both had good and bad qualities.

This

The most someone can argue is maybe DB had a better animated final battle, Zero-G's finale wasn't the best animated nor does it come anywhere near to the prior seasons. But narratively Zero-G does way better, it pays respect to the world and it ends up setting up a new generation of bladers that I always like when they kinda show it off. 

I also prefer Kira's development at the end way more than I do Rashad, like Zero G quite honestly gets overhated it was not as bad as people say it is, it isn't perfect but I much rather rewatch Zero-G than ever rewatch DB. 

At the very least for all the boring that came out of Zero G and DB, Zero-G had more substance to it that allowed to to be somewhat tolerable

Honestly I have to agree. As an entire season, I would much rather watch Zero G than DB. I have enjoyed Zero G a hell of a lot more than DB. Make no mistake, I'm not saying Zero G was good, but I think it becomes the butt of jokes too often (only surpassed by Beywheelz/Beyraiderz) to excuse some mediocre Burst seasons (Sparking/DB), but we shouldn't have such a low standard where we need to resort to saying "at least it's not Zero G". I agree that Zero G gets too hated, despite me also finding it mediocre.

I agree with your points that Zero G had more substance and a more respect to it's whole narrative.

Final battle wise, DB is WAY better when it comes to the actual beyblade battle. Pegasis Bahamdia vs Saramanda Ifrit was very disappointing and forgettable, it was generic and bland. Here's the thing, this final boss sounded so cool because it uses the power of Pegasis, it should be such a cool fight at a high grandeur, and it ended up bleh. I will say, the battle aftermath with Kira nearly falling to his doom was very tense and I liked that.
Since it's the final episode of burst as a while I might as well comment on it. I expected a pretty average db episode that felt a bit nicer than usual, and that's exactly what I got. Not much else to say other than good animation.
Goodbye Burst, Overall burst and metal were both my favorites and I am so happy Mr.Morita brought this to us. thank you and hope to see more in the future.
