Hopefully he’s done right in…whatever quad-strike is supposed to be. Im looking forward to him and what quad-strike has to bring this will definitely be interesting thats for sure.

I know this might sound silly but im nervous and excited at the same time because i really Don't know what to expect from this. Like im excited to see more burst but nervous on how they will handle this continuation/spin off/or whatever its supposed to be(You get the gist) along with possible returning characters. Like i really dont know what to expect from this. Im just hoping that they are able to do a solid job with this.

We're on the same wavelength. I'm excited for more Burst but also nervous about how they will handle the story and the characters, particularly the returning ones and particularly Valt of course. I'm really really hoping this is good.

I knew they wouldn't end off beyblade burst with that stupid ending. And it's finally here. BEYBLADE. BURST. QUADSTRIKE. This forum ain't dying anytime soon 😤

Real talk now: 1. From the trailer, it looked like they're animating hasbro beyblades like in the beyblade burst game.

2. Were you disappointed in Ilya after what they've done to the only "strong female blader"? Say no more, now you got a real steong female blader and yk she's strong because she's the antagonist (although spoiler alert: Bell will defeat her towards the end). How cool is that??

3. Bell's back ofc because yk divine Belial.. beyblade of mc of QUADSTRIKE.  But I'M SUPER GLAD TO SEE VALT! I MISSED HIM SO MUCH AND I'M PRETTY SURE Y'ALL DID TOO!

4. If the animation follows the toyline, then we'll most definitely see all the protagonists back in action but unfortunately there won't be any Lui or Free. We're also gonna see Lane and Shu the iconic duo (aside from valt and Shu) towards the end.

5. There probably won't be any dub version but that's fine. I'm pretty sure we all just want new episodes of beyblade burst.

6. This is the last last season of Burst. So let us enjoy every bit of it towards the end.

7. And I'm back ✌️
Nani!?!?!? Ain't no way boi! Beyblade Burst having a seventh season?!?!? Let's hope we see Aiga, Drum, Lean, and the Asahi Brothers in this season.

It is a dub version though? They are speaking english and it used quad-strike not BU (unless I misunderstood sorry but not main point) But what is this exactly? A continuation of DB? A none canon side story? What is quad-strike? Im curious on what all of this is like this is something i did not see coming.

My best guess would be this is just a small side quest for Bell and his team which is to find out who this "mysterious blader" really is and defeat her. So I don't see QuadStrike being 26 episodes long or something like that. It's probably gonna be over in a few episodes anyway and 5/10 minute episodes which we would've hated to see before but since it's the only time we get to see our favorite characters once again, we shouldn't even be complaining.

Who knows? You may be right but it's not confirmed so we should just wait until we get an official confirmation.

Since there's no manga as the touchstone for this season, this season is an entirely original story. I'm really curious what direction they take this. I just hope it's good.

Bel's Bio for QuadStrike:

When someone nicknames themselves the "Dark Prince," you know they've got to have both the confidence and the ego to back it up. And with Bel Daizora's willingness to pull out all the stops to bring his ideas to life, perhaps he's earned the name. This Dark Prince lives by his own code of justice, pulling pranks left and right. But given that they fail most of the time, who could really hold that against him?

Yea same boat with you. I just hope the season is good and doesn't mistreat (possibly) returning and newer characters and i hope it uses TT designs, but considering its a hasbro only season (to current knowledge and info) they might be using the weird hasbro models they have now. I really dont know what to expect or to look forward for this season. Other than *cough cough* Valt! *cough* so yea. 
 
And dang did they just flat out say bell is bad or his pranks are because yikes thats a low blow. Also This technically makes Bell the Second Protagonist (outside manga and Possible jp anime) to be the protagonist for Two seasons after Valt.

Valt of course is the thing I'm looking forward to most, I just hope they treat him right. And yeah I mentioned that in a prior post, this is first time in Burst since Valt that a protagonist has gotten a second season. I'm wondering if all the characters whose bey lines got BU evolutions will appear. I'd love to see Ken and Xander return.
Are the ancient elemental ruins and stadium in QuadStrike proof that an ancient Beyblade civilization existed? We've seen this in Metal Fight but it seems that it's the case for Burst as well.
Well this is not much but heres a couple (small) facts and comparisons for each bahamut user. I thought it would be fun.

1. Basara is the only bahamut user to not have a special move for when the shield/barrier/circle activates around bahamut.
Arc: final guard, Dread: dread circle, roar: N/A

2. Boa is the only user who doesnt have a rubber stopper/lock as Blind and Basara both use one

3. Roar bahamut is the only one that uses a non 360 rotation driver (like how orbit and atomic both have actual balls in their drivers)

4. Blind is the user with the most moves with 5, Boa with 2 and Basara with 1 (double windmill does not count since its a team move)

5. Basara is the only one that doesn't Start/debut with Bahamut but a different bey being Death Solomon.

6. All 3 bladers left from the antagonist team in the final arcs. Boa: Snake pit, Blind: Inferno/hell, Basara: Rashad’s team. Also all 3 bladers have competed in events with 2 other members from the same team. gods blader cup: Boa, Norman, and Shu (same team but competed against each other) Wbba vs team hell Hell: Blind, gwyn, and Arthur, and The 3 vs 3 team battles: Basara, Illya, and Rashad.

7. Blind is the only user out the 3 to not battle Valt. Also Both basara and Boa lost to Valt 2-0. Lastly Basara is the only bahamut user to beat Valt (Rashad won the 3 vs 3 which means technically Basara won against Valt)

8. Basara is the only User out the 3 to beat the Protagonist (anime). He also holds the best win record out of all 3 users.

9. Blind has not won a single battle giving him the worst win record out of all 3 users and possibly the entire series.

10. Additional fact: Every Bahamut has only appeared during even numbered seasons.
Season 2: Arc, season 4: Dread, Season 6: Roar

This was just for fun some might be more random than the others but still.
Since the Beyblade Burst series has ended (except for Quadstrike), I would like to list some stupid things I saw people say on this site referring to the Burst anime. Also, don't worry I am not say names since I am not a snitch. Also, I'm not saying that people who said these things are stupid, I just saying the things that they said are. So, here we go:

1. "Fumiya took Fafnir from Free."
Sure, a scrawny Japanese kid would fly to Spain to steal a Beyblade from a Spanish kid who can lift a boulder by himself and scare away a tiger.

2. "Drum, Hyuga, and Hikaru should go die or to h311."
For what? They might be annoying but they don't deserve that. Also, they're kids for crying out loud.

3. "Rashad sucks because he owns Valkyrie."
You know damn well, that Rashad was going to temporarily own Valkyrie until he gets a new Bey. Also, that is one of the things that makes Rashad an interesting antagonist.

4. "Hyuga shouldn't be in the top 10 of the Legend Bladers."
The Legend rank system is BS ngl. So, if Hyuga beat Lean in a battle (manga), he shouldn't be above Lean in the top 10? It's crazy that Hyuga is even below Hikaru. No disrespect to Hikaru, but that dude quit Beyblade for a while (I know Hikaru became a Blader again but still). Also, I know the Legend ranking system is based on points earned which is weird imo.

5. "Lodin sucks."
No, just no. Y'all saying that because he owns Longinus. Sure, Lodin wasn't a complex character but he was still pretty cool. I do wish the writers did more with him.

Lol the first one is just dumb for someone to say. Fumiya was inspired to create Wizard Fafnir from watching Free battle on TV.

You're right about all aside from 4 the point system part its not dumb really we got real life sports that works the same tennis is the prime one you can beat the #1 an the world while not being top 16 at all. Same apply to soccer its a point based system or even chess their many sport an real life thats a point system thats how it work more wins more points more, more lost less points. Even an fiction their loads of anime whos like that beyblade is not the first and the last exception.

Is there any evidence that the Legend ranking is point based or is that head canon? I don't remember anything being mentioned about that.
4. "Blind's special moves are silly."
I'm sorry but whoever says this just dislikes creativity. Dread Vertical and Dread Gyro are such awesome and creative moves. And honestly, that makes Blind one of the greatest bladers I have ever seen in Burst. Sure, Blind got the worse win record out of the rest of the Bahamut users, but that is because he only battled against Delta and Drum, GT's strongest bladers. I felt like if Blind went against bladers like Fumiya, Lodin, Joe, or Pot, he would demolish them.

I think that's just how rankings work in general since that's how it usually is for real sports and other activities. Because he usually refers to different sports such as tennis, soccer and chess when referring to ranks(I think).

In my opinion, the moves are effective, but still silly in terms of what they are.

I'm not sure it's true in this case. For example Lain got up to rank 2 by defeating Shu not due to points if I recall.

I'm not sure it's true in this case. For example Lain got up to rank 2 by defeating Shu not due to points if I recall.
We really don't know what exactly happened during their battle though. Shu could have lost multiple times like In the anime which wracked up points or it could have been a rank up match where if Lane won he took Shu's place. All we know is that they battled. Not much else but I get what you mean though.

The things we actually do know is that it was defeating the 2nd ranked blader that allowed Lain to take Shu's spot. Wracking up a lot of points in multiple battles against Shu I don't think really fits given that Lain was all the way in A rank. I don't it's reasonable that if it was a point system, that he would get enough points to jump 14 ranks up just by battling Shu multiple times back to back. It would have to have been a rank up match, which is what it seems is the way you move up the ranks which is what I was getting across in my previous comment.
