Matter of fact, I didn’t know that. Sounds pretty awesome. I guess that’s why he appeared on the first burst manga cover.

Agreed, but he has his opinion and his profile picture kind of says why.

Of course, but I'm just wondering what's the reason? Also, what are you talking about?

Because that was the episode Aiga beat Valt and became champion and by his profile picture we can probably guess Valt is his favorite character

That episode was absolutely abysmal. Aiger defeated Valt and destroyed his bey all through contrived deus ex machina foolishness. He plot armored (a term I don't use often but is totally accurate here) his way to his win. An episode that was a product of lazy writing and inchoerent plotting, not to mention they threw Valt under the bus big time. Such a disrespectful showing to the character. They took all that work Valt did to become World Champion and stomped all over It. It was horrible what they did to him, and I'll forever hate that episode for the all the above reasons.

in fact that is exactly why he was on the first cover.  Zac wasn't planed at all . but seems like something happen an sisco was move to burst god . lowkey after I heard that I was like you I know what a supreme 4 with lui,  shu,  xac and this might surprise you I would've switch sisco for xhaka instead.  keep him for burst god instead establish him as a big 5 prior god like the rest of the 4 I think this would've made his battle with valt even more intense & better plus that also would've made red eye even more of a monster beating xhaka adding the fact all 3 are childhood friends .

For the original series, I'm also going to go with a V-force episode. Episode 16; Tragedy of the Cyber Blader. It’s the pointless ending to a pointless character, pointless rivalry and pointless resentment. It also doubles as the beginning of an even dumber motivation. Wyatt alongside his cringe-inducing and ultimately insignificant relationship with Kai were some of the worst that V-force had to offer. The fact that they use such a poorly written motivation for Kai’s progression and development directly based on this episode doesn’t help either.

For Metal fight, it’s was a tough decision between metal masters ep 39; “The guard dog of Hades: Kerbecs” and metal fury ep 15; “destroyer done.” At the end, I went with ep 15, destroyer dome. I loved the concept of the destroyer dome but my god, the characters in the episode were just so awful. The Garcia’s, and that too, they’re constantly fake arguing, Tobio and lastly Zeo. Don’t get me wrong, I like Zeo as a character but from the way he was performing you would think he was someone else.

For Burst, I gotta say that I really hated that first Bc Sol filler episode; beyblade burst god ep 6 “Severe earthquake! BC Sol.” Didn’t have an issue with ALL of that seasons filler, but that particular episode could bore me to sleep. It’s basically like the other filler episodes in the season but you take away the drama that’s actually interesting and leave the characters idly doing nothing.

NO FLIPPING WAY! YOU LIKE SISCO/SILAS!?
Silas is one of my favorite characters. His character arc in Evolution is one of the things, among the many many others, that I love most about the season. He's a prime example of the excellent character work those first two seasons did. So well done.

Yeah I definitely do. Generally, I like all the legendary bladers other than Free and Shu. I used to love Shu but as time passed he got really boring and repetitive. One could say Sparking ruined his character for me.

Basically:
Favs:
Valt, Lui, Rantaro, Silas and Wakiya

Like:
Aiga, Ranjiro and Drum

Dislike:
Free and Shu.

I KNOW RIGHT!? SILAS IS FLIPPING AWESOME! KINETIC SATOMB WAS THE 3RD BEY I GOT EVER AND WHEN I SAW IT, IT WAS FLIPPING AWESOME! SILAS IS SUCH AN AMAZING CHARACTER! HE IS MY 2ND FAV CHARACTER. ONLY TOPPED BY THE KING OF THE CASTLE MY NUMBER 1 FAV CHARACTER, RANTARO KIYAMA!

Ah yes, the infamous Burst. I will focus on this one for now.
I guess I'll start from the latest season and go down.

SPARKING
1. Episode 45 - A clear product of why Beyblade episode should NOT be only 10 minutes long. Trying to force exposition and three tag battles into one episode made the entire thing look choppy. The only decent battle was the one that was shown in entirety (Valt & Rantaro VS Aiga & Ranjiro). Other bladers (mainly Free and Sisco) got shifted to the side because of how little time the got to shine, as if it wasn't already low enough. Hyuga and Hikaru VS Lui and Drum also could have been a lot better, but that was just an annoying medium that existed. Best thing I can say about this episode was that it was a great excuse to make the rest of the tournament well paced, with each battle after getting 1 or 2 episodes to itself.
2. Episode 44 - Best part, Wakiya came back. Worst part, annoying filler episode that had little to no significant value to the rest of the plot, and undoubtedly one of the reason episode 45 got squashed into a pile of disappointment. Again, not hating on Wakiya, just hating on the fact on how they showed him off. Might as well have not put Jet Wyvern in the anime at all if that's all he was gonna get.
3. Episode 28 - Very choppy exposition based on.. eating food? One second the bros and Mr. Akaba are eating spaghetti and the Asahis and then they're at the Akabas eating sandwiches. Kinda random. The battle was even worse. Cool, Aiga showing off default balance mode and using it in a smart way. What does Lean do? Yell Variant Wall after using the bs centrifugal force to crater conveniently provided for him. Also, what about Aiga's sky attacks that he's performed many times in the past? This is one example of an underlying problem in Sparking: taking away the older characters' past battle experiences at their own expense. At least TRY to make it look like a fight.
4. Episode 16 - For Lui to be made out as a new big obstacle and the become a plushy compared to Lean two seconds later just doesn't sit right in my mind. I know Lui was fighting a new opponent and all that, trained under Shu, and the old words of "it's not who started first". HOWEVER, that does NOT excuse the way Lean won. Just yelled Variant Wall after Lui tried to use his raw power in a more strategic way to win by a Burst. Well, in my heart, I know who I think deserved to win that one.
5. Episode 21 - Lean, Lean, Lean. Oh yeah, cool re-introduction to the legends ig. But why does Lean get to defeat FOUR PEOPLE using just VARIANT WALL?! I rest my case.

While I know others will hate episodes 22 and 27 for Hyuga shenanigans, I feel like those are fair enough to bypass my radar. I KNOW they exist, and they were somewhat bs, but it actually made some sense, especially when put next to LEAN.
Probably already stated this before, but here’s my top 5 (in order best to worst)

MFB:
Gingka, Ryuga, Kyoya, Julian, and King

Burst:
Aiga, Ranjiro, Fubuki, Phi, and Suoh.

Top 5 anime beys:
MFB:
Big Bang, Variares, Diablo Nemesis, Phantom Orion, Death Quetzalcoatl

Burst:
Infinite Achilles, Variant Lucifer, Spriggan Requiem, cho-z Achilles, Geist Fafnir

Worst 5 characters for me (best to worst):
Burst:
Arthur, Red Eye/Shu (season 2), Silas, Wakiya (season 1), Valt (hate this character so much)

I had a cool idea for a driver concept but had no idea where to put it so I’m putting it here, Driver: Omega, Defense class, the driver has tabs that expand making a wide circle at high speeds to increase OWD but at slower speeds the tabs retract and the driver tip descends a bit(drift levels of height) to increase defense and LAD, the tip would have a shape similar to twin ball’s tip.

It wouldn’t work. What would happen is that the blades would get stuck because there’s nothing to propel it.

I was thinking they would be like the tabs on the Reboot and Tower drivers just a bit bigger

It would most likely snap. Also if that happened then that would mean that the driver would be pushed in wards like ultimate reboot.
