Alright I finally got to watch this episode, oh boy...
So let's get what I like about the episode out the way, I do like that we got to see a team battle between something that isn't BC Sol vs, having some returning characters are cool albeit they do nothing, I'll get to that later. I also like that Wakiya has a newish special launch. I also like the longer extended version of the S1 Burst BG music where they get ready to launch.
Knowing that this is a god series episode, you know that I'm going to find stuff I didn't like, what in the hell were we doing making the team battle a measly 1/3rd of the episodes length? Like okay, I get it, I heccing get it! sX is amazing and you should buy it, I would really like the episode to ease off shining it's boots, it just makes the German team (I think) look like garbage, but this is Wakiya leading it I guess. So we can have Valt's stupid tiring gags? And what was the point of having Jenga back? He was totally useless here, his leaving ending paid off nothing at all, was this supposed to be the twist? That was kind of lame. I mentioned that while it was nice to have the extra characters, but at the same time, they're a reminder of what they regressed to, the worst being Kensuke. Kensuke looks like he's been lowered down in terms of roles, now he's just a cheerleader, after al that development we had with him, but let non-developing stupid gag characters like Rantaro have a larger role. I also find the tW vs sX battle a lamer version go X2 vs W2 battle tbh, that's a battle I like by the way, this one was too quick and simple for my tastes.
This episode is really just your average God series episode... mediocre. I guess at least it's going somewhere. Oh yeah and the ending is weird, why does it have a glowing beast of Bahamut in the end? You could argue that it's not really there and it's metaphorical, but the dude sees it and gets scared of it, unless he got scared of a plastic spinning top, it's not like it's for a cool effect like where you normally see the motifs slash during battle.. However, whether it's metaphorical or not does not explain the door breaks as the kid who owns aB gets out of there. Did he smash it open? Did he launch his beyblade at it? For goodness sakes we don't need to make the series as unrealistic as it already is since Red Eyes, that is really inconsistent to what Burst was meant to be. I don't care if it looks cool, it just doesn't belong.

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