Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts

I feel like they’re going to do something with Silas because he never went to BC Sol with Valt and Rantaro.
You know, I really wonder what Lane is saying in the last way manga chapter. It could give us a glimpse of his persona and what not.

He's sorta cocky, but he can back up his words due to his strength. Pretty much goes into battles with absolute confidence he can win, and doesn't have time for weaklings. Pretty sure him losing would be a big blow to his ego.

Really cool, thanks for telling me. By the way what does he say when introducing Lucifer, like, does he say “this is my other bey Lucifer” or “this is my weaker bey Lucifer” or something along the lines of that.

Ill check

he says your bey wont be able to touch Lucifer

and side note, he talks alot about battling to fuel his "flare". I guess its a situation where each time he wins he feels complete, and is constantly seeking out strong bladers. I have a theory that Lane used to lose a lot, so he gave into darkness and made Lucifer. Now he goes around beating people to "fuel his fire" and prove to himself that hes strong.

That sounds really awesome thanks again. I’m still wondering about Uranus fate though, he did use it to beat Free after all.

he probably rotates between them depending on the opponent.
Hey have we gotten confirmation where Lane is from? Cuz if I had to guess I'd say Norwegian

probably american since he was trained by Shu, but Norwegian may also be where he's from. I believe its not been confirmed yet.

new volume looks good. Guessing this is the complete hell arc (from drum vs arthur to drum and delta vs gwyn and arthur)
[Image: 5XAmv6O.jpg]
decided to go through each mc's development based on a reply I saw yesterday, I have time to waste anyways.
(to give Aiga a chance, this will be about what they were going for with the characters development, not how well they succeeded in the final product).    

VALT AOI
In season 1, Valt is a pretty cocky immature kid. He has to get stronger physically and mentally, and mature along the way to deal with all his responsibilities and the pains of growing up. While he didn't win the nationals Valt matures and gets a lot stronger,  which goes into season 2. Valt meets new bladers from all over the world that are leagues better than him. Valt has to not give up hope and keep getting stronger though. Then Valt fins Red Eye who has spriggan, and Valt has to try and get Spriggan back. This is a tough challenge because Valt keeps losing and no matter what he does he can't seem to win. Red eye is later revealed to be Shu, who went missing. Shu rejects Valt and constantly harshly attacks and even breaks pieces of Valt's bey. Valt has to get over lots of mental hurdles to get stronger and bring back the Shu we know.

AIGA AKABANE:
Aiga has a pretty big ego and believes he can win all of his battles at first. With a powerful bey he uses
he can, however when he loses things seem to come crashing down. Aiga learns about bonding with his bey which he hasn't been doing, so he tries and fails. Through more loses Aiga realizes he has to get stronger no matter what, or he wont have a chance at beating Valt. Aiga makes an unhealthy bond with his bey through hatred. Fueled even more by Phi's temptations, Aiga pushes Achilles to the limit. Eventually Valt realizes whats going on with Aiga, and breaks his bey to put it out of its misery and bring AIga back to reality. After this Aiga realizes what went wrong and tries to be a better person. He makes a new Achilles however given he practically abused it with his previous evolution, Aiga builds trust through having a true bond with his bey. He and his bey grow together and get strong. Aiga eventually achieves his goals and becomes world champion.

DRUM KORYU:
Drum has always been a nice kid. No darkness temptation or any big hurdles in his life, he just wants to be a strong blader and make friends. He makes Dragon and promises to take it to the top, but is quickly shut down. Drum feels like he failed as a blader by lying to his bey, but his bey tells him that everything will still be alright, and he can come back stronger. Drum trains and gets stronger with his bey, and looks to meet new bladers and make new friends. He meets Delta who he though was his friend, but Delta rejects him, and only battles Drum to feed his bey (feed diabolos its gold turbo, or whatever delta meant by that). Drum has to face the reality and notice that Delta may not be a friend, but he can still try to help him. Drum and Dragon grow stronger as a team, but things go south when strong bladers come in and destroy dragon and delta's bey. Delta realizes he was being used by Diabolos and makes  a new bey he can bond with. Drum evolves Dragon but is struggling, but Delta and his other friends come to his aid. Drum has to mature and realize that he has to rise to the occasion, and brings out his full strength and shows the true bond with his bey, and just how far he's come.

Knowing where they were trying to go with Aiga's character makes the result hit even worse, Chouzetsu still wouldn't be my favorite (that goes to GT, specifically the manga) but It would still be really good :(. Tbh If they just fixed Aiga's character a lot of the story would've also been fixed, due to how much the story revolves around Aiga and his development. Besides for a few moments like Valt not breaking Z Achilles in the anime, Cho-Z would've honestly been a lot better.
After rewatching the whole series of burst so far i like to share my Opinion for each season of burst

My rankings cause it’s nighttime and I’m bored

Season 1- pretty perfectly captures the fun side of burst. Besides a bit too much filler it’s a really fun watch and all of the main cast has good development | 8/10

Season 2-really good, the world building is great. The characters and beys are also great and introduces new gimmicks and walls for valt to get over. I enjoyed the god bladers cup, it had great battles and the ending is amazing. About what need for speed said,I don’t remember much if any of the “this bey is invincible”. I think it’s that god Valkyrie just hit fast and powerful, so for a lot of beys there really wasn’t an obvious way to beat it. And the invincible part is just over exaggerating to show strength | 9/10

Season 3-meh, it’s not good tbh. It starts of good with introducing each character, but it gets really boring after they introduce dark resonance and the battles carried the series so much at the end. They beys are cool but that’s it | 6/10

Season 4- this is lots of people’s least favorite season cause drum didn’t get much development (he did get lots of development that I talk about in a post above tho, it’s just not very obvious since he doesn’t change to much on the outside). There wasn’t really a big challenge for most of it, which is why I like it so much. Just fun beys and battles. I think a big problem present is that drum used various strategies to win his battles, but most if not all of them were from the anime and just replaced with clashing. This season didn’t handle Aiga well tbh, I mean I don’t like him anyways but cmon. It ramps up in seriousness near the end, and the hell arc is one of the best in the series | 8/10

Season 5 so far- I like the manga, anime not so much. Anime has characters a lot more serious which is fine, but kills hyugas character development (at least the start for it). Still gotta see how this plays out tho.

Shelter regulus was the bey lol i had high expectations for rewei tho haha
I don't really like sparking guess they killed off some characters that the fanbase wants for example we want some characters like gwyn and they don't add them so the people who make the anime don't listen to the fan base. #bring delta back and old characters.

Not every character that people want to come back can. Perhaps Gwyn and Delta simply didn't fit into the story they're telling. Truth be told, they've brought back a lot of classic characters back. They can't bring back everyone. They brought back the main ones which is good.

Delta does fit tho cause of they add drum where his rival?

I made a similar comment about this at the introduction of sparking but my opinion changed after some consideration. If we remember the earlier events of s4 The whole Arthur, Delta, Gwynn and Drum arc actually started in ep 15 (Arthur was introduced in 14 though) which means the anime wasted 36 episodes on that whole stupid arc. What’s interesting is that we only got 3 beys during that entire arc those being the evolutions to Diabolos, Dragon and Genesis. This makes me think that the sparking anime can definitely have more beys if the anime writers actually try to make the season arcs smaller because then, more characters can come into play.

Thats not going to happen cause the writer are lazy why can't the fans decide what happens for once.

No, they plan in advance and already have the story written. They are not FanFic writers. This is part of their job.

uh no, they plan everything out. The manga is made, then the anime writers take each chapter and make an arc.

edit: If anything letting random people decide what happens is lazy
The story line they write is bad plus fan fics are better cause they make sense

the story in the anime/manga also makes sense lol. And which is better is up to your opinion, but they aren't just gonna let random fans write beyblade for them.
