Jinbee don't forget the previous arcs that are very reminiscent of Chouzetsu.
1st arc - BeyCarnival let's be honest that Valt in GT is basically Lui in Cho-Z. He disappears and never battles like over 40 episodes but I want him to battle more. Enough with that, the point was the winner of the BeyCarnival gets to battle Valt just like what the situation was in Longinus Cup. Seems familiar...hmm.
2nd arc - I don't know the name I forgot, but I think the point was whoever has the highest "points" wins and gets to battle Aiga aka the World Champion. In comparison to Battleship Cruise hmmm. The point was the winner gets to take on Valt in Cho-Z. Already familiar.
Now that you and Limetka pointed out the Hell Arc similar to Dead Castle and all the bladers similar to last season.
I can for sure state indirectly that the final arc will be Gwyn vs Everyone in GT. By Everyone, I mean role models. Like Shu and Free's destruction, it might be Valt and Aiga's. Like you said. Yeah, I can definitely see that the finale will be Delta vs Drum resulting in Drum's victory and Delta sees how good Drum is.
Amane>Rantaro/Ranjiro
Lodin>Houi
Pot>Laban ish
Fumiya>Wakiya
Joe is original I don't see his character being a copy of previous burst series.
I mean Blind's character has Jack's traits yk Jack from Metal Fight. He has his traits different from Kyle.
Gwyn has his fusion of Naoiki, Evel and Phi.
Yup Apocalypse breaks next episode.
you better watch this if you want nostalgia over these years. MEP Legendary:
