As for the Fubuki part I do understand why you disagree with him losing after he just beat ranjiro I've been saying aiga is not a bad character the idea of making him strong and have talented from the beginning is a good idea, like this we don't have to go with the flow of I have to mastered my bey BS again , now the downfall of aiga character is that he didn't no anything about blade until he meet valt which Is not good, I mean an only months he managed to reach people that has been training for years but if he knew and play beyblade it would not be a problem. I don't think Fubuki was really nerfed I think the fixed him cause think about it having op characters makes it hard to make them lose take shu ,lui and free for example this guys was introduced to be op from the beginning their super genius with major talent . but because of that it's very hard to make them lose it was so hard the beat each other to have a lost valt was the only person to beat 2 out of these 3 which some people are not quite fond of regardless this how hard it is to have op bladers . So that's why keeping the new cast more or less equal is a good thing because some time the can win or sometimes the can lose
This is a sentiment that I could not understand. What do you mean by Fubuki's not supposed to be OP? He's the regional champion, and he actually trained with Shu, one of the strongest bladers in the world, so it's not exactly a stretch to say that he's supposed to be powerful by default, is it? If he wasn't the regional champion and didn't train with Shu, your argument would be somewhat more valid, but this isn't the case.
As for Aiga, I'd still regard him as a typical Gary Sue. He's a farm-boy nobody, only trained with regulars for a few months, then proceeds to curb-stomp everyone. Aiga's first loss was against Valt, where he lost because of bad luck, and his second loss was against Fubuki, and the loss was his own fault when he changed the height of the Xtend driver, thus allowing Fubuki to gain the upper hand when Aiga realizes that his tactic failed against the guarded Yard driver. Aiga is in complete control in both matches against Fubuki. Even Luke Skywalker needs to train with Yoda and Ben Kenobi for two decades, and he lost once against Vader, fair and square. I just don't understand why this anime refutes basic video game logic at this point. Of course, it might be very tempting to ignore the "mastering my beyblade" part, but it's an essential progress of growth for any character, regardless if it's in a short flashback, or just ending up as a brief remark, but we didn't even get a footnote mentioning this. This results in a fundamental disconnect between the audience and the character.
To be honest, I'd much rather the MC of the anime be Fubuki instead of Aiga, because this ends up being a more coherent story than what we are offered. If Aiga ends up being an antagonist, I wouldn't question how is he so strong, the writers could just say that it's in his genes and his father taught him beyblade or something, and I'd be completely fine with it. It seems to me that Fubuki should be the MC of the anime, because he lost against Ranjiro, then trained for some time and defeated him, then Aiga, a supposed prodigy, just randomly shows up to challenge him, and ends up winning, thus driving Fubuki to train even harder. But nope, we're stuck with Aiga with no concrete explanation to his powers, leaving the audience in a state of confusion and disconnect.
