怪物 (Kaibutsu) = Monster

The monster appears, lol.

Let's get it. Does anybody know what the name of Fafnir is.

Oh no it looks that El santo is a ghost town just like in Cho-z. Does anyone actually live there? From where do they even get spectators for the battles there? Scary.

No hate on Fumiya, but finally a Fafnir moment from its better owner. Lets be honest this episode will be a killer. I wanna see the mains reaction on Fafnir spin stealing IF they battle. I doubt it, I think they are just gonna showcase Free and keep the battle in ep 9.

Nope you wrong it is lui cause longinus is set to come in june soooo yeah thats the evidence

Hmmm where do you think Lui will be anyways at this point?
But since valt was talking about shu it looks like it could come very soon

Shu is probably coming right after Lui

Brave Valkyrie is my favorite bey, and Valt is my favorite character even if he's a bit overrated.

It seems they are actually moving in the order from the opening theme save for Valt. I know Valt appears at the end of the opening but that’s pretty much just to make him stand out as more important from the other bladers. Rantaro, Sisco and Free seem to have followed the pattern. I could be wrong though, they could still follow the ending or a completely different order so take what I’m saying with some doubt.

Not bad eh?

If thats the case, its Rantaro Sisco, Free and Lui which is the correct pattern since Fafnir is coming in May and Longinus in June. So that means that Drum and Dragon are next.

Yeah, Hopin for Diabolos around the time dragon comes. And also I hope they give justice to Longinus, because sometime down the line, an attack type blade will come with a single chassis, hopefully Longinus doesn’t come with a single, or else I will be disappointed. Imo just save single chassis for defense and stamina, but it’s inevitable that we might get an attack single

Champion! Javari Carr.

I have a feeling Free won't get beaten almost instantly like the other two legendary bladers but I might be wrong (hopefully not)

"The mark of my dignity shall scar thy DNA!" Gill, Street Fighter. Sub to Nitrogenic! Nitro is the heat and Nitrogen the cold. 

Yeah, I won’t think that either, I’m thinking the higher tier bladers will not be beaten until around episode 35-52. I don’t see lui, Free, or shu, or valt, obeing beaten until around there. I do see possibly drum, and maybe if they make delta a legend blader, And Aiga being beaten tho.

Champion! Javari Carr.

Lol rip Hikaru and hyuga free is going do it isn't he the troll hand spin . But yea I don't see the high tier bladers like free , lui , shu ,aiga or valt losing as quick as Sisco and Rantaro did . Drum Is 50/50 and of delta comes around he might be in the same boat as drum 50/50. I kind of wish the anime give sisco and Rantaro their rank at least the manga did it .

the opening show us the returns of the characters in chronological order. So after Free, the next is Lùi.

Yeah, I won’t think that either, I’m thinking the higher tier bladers will not be beaten until around episode 35-52. I don’t see lui, Free, or shu, or valt, obeing beaten until around there. I do see possibly drum, and maybe if they make delta a legend blader, And Aiga being beaten tho.

Honestly, we still have 5 legendary bladers to go including Free, I doubt they will have enough time to hold themout until ep 35 and have a proper story with only 12 min episodes, we have to remember that Lane is also going to be making an appearance and it seems like he’s right after Longinus. Also Lui and Free are probably kinda meh at this point, Lui tied with Valt and Lost to Aiga which makes him seem really underwhelming to me tbh.

How is Free “meh”. Lui you can kind of say that because he lost to Asiago in the very beginning. But Free is one of the best bladers (best in my opinion). But if Lui is “Meh“ than Valt is too, because Valt never beat Lui and he lost to Aiga twice.

Yeah, I doubt that's the pattern. Free is supposed to turn up so early in episode 8. By this time, if Free is appearing so should Fafnir. But no, we don't even know Fafnir's name. Taking this into consideration, right now, every move taken by them is unpredictable, I believe Shu is gonna turn up first cuz Valt spoke about him. The only evidence we have is not the product line, but what the anime is taking into consideration, which states Shu, so Shu's gonna turn up and then by June end, we'll get Lui.
No matter what, It's gonna be fun. Plus

This also shows us who will be the best among the big 3 (Shu, Lui, Free). If Free turns up early, then obvsly Free will be the weakest. Now u ask how?
The answer is,
The Twins are first gonna lose to Free and then come up with a way to beat him. Then we move ahead to Shu or Lui, who will defeat that version of the twins who just beat Free, so obvsly, they'll be stronger than Free. That way we can come up with who's the best blader outta them. (NOTE: This method can be wrong in some cases)

Spoiler (Click to View)

 Well here’s the thing, Valt was pretty much the second strongest Blader by the end of cho z and Lui was just a regional champion because he had fallen out of favour to the new generation of bladers (Xhan, Phi). I will admit that calling Free a “meh” was a bit of an accident and I was definitely wrong there but I definitely wouldn’t call him the best, the competition has definitely risen to his level since evolution. The thing about this is, Lui and Free both have left rotating dragon beys and we’re at one point crazy powerful and because of that they are horribly overrated. Ever since the beginning of beyblade left rotating dragon beys have been extremely popular because of their introduction of left spin to the season and their extremely powerful owners. While Tyson was the first, I would say the trend started with Ryuga who was near invincible and as a result gained a massive fanbase. This carried on to Sakyo and then to Lui and Free. Fafnir and Longinus are bestselling beys and only for those reasons which is why they got beys in gt even after Bl and Gf were both poor releases, but if you noticed since Fumiya and Lodin didn’t have the initial reigning streaks nobody liked them. Since Lui and Free own reverse rotation dragon beys and had reigning streaks like Ryuga, people believe they are invincible but let’s be honest, they aren’t. I’m sure there are plenty of right spin bladers a whole lot better than them. Comparing Valt to Lui at this point is unthinkable- he created the gt and super king systems, discovered gold turbo, was a reigning world champion and was outright stated to be the strongest legendary Blader of this season and those accomplishments definitely outshine Lui. Because of the left spin dragon bladers people have become blinded to the good right spin bladers.

On a more on topic note, I wonder if Drum will make an appearance in this episode since he is a member of BC Sol and the cast is going to Spain.

Not bad eh?

does anyone know when this will be in dub, cause i'm a coward who enjoys listening to things and not reading. is it when all the episodes are done, then they go back and do it again dubbed, or do they do them both but dub is a little bit behind? just curious.
