I honestly could have seen his character dev more than Silas

Kurt was not a main character while Silas was which automatically makes Silas a lot better initially.
Honestly what a surprise! I never expected all these characters return! Let’s take a time to thank Mr. Morita for finally listening to our wishes. Now the big question is do they get evolutions?

I have a feeling (I hope I'm wrong) that we will not be seeing most of them..simple logic is that they would not have enough time imo to incorporate all these characters in the anime as 12 mins is not enough.. again I hope I'm wrong but ig we need to be prepared for the worst

I think Sisco developed more to be honest, mainly owed to his much longer screen time. While I won't deny Kurtz had a role in God, it's not nearly as much as any of the Top 15 bladers, who have more screen time or prominence in their seasons.

Kurtz is unfortunately a supporting cast character, where as everyone else on the top 15 list has much more prominence in their own seasons or have appeared longer. Even Zac is more prominent in his season than Kurtz (though he's still kind of an odd choice IMO). Yeah Kurtz has a major role in the last few episodes of God, but it's still not a lot in the grand scheme of things.

A supporting character almost never ever return, or if they do, it's a small scene and that's it, it's sadly a "You've fulfilled your purpose in your season, now go away.", which is sadly how the Burst anime/manga works most of the time.
I hope at least the top 10 get evolutions, ideally all of them, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high. Then again I have a feeling this is the last season of burst so...

Yes that too. If it truly is the last we deserve a large cast.
If they include all these bladers it's going to result in the most rushed season of burst but I would take a rushed season just to see all these characters battle again.

I could see it to work if they executed the idea better

Depending on if Hiro Morita can cram in those beys into the manga (which he can do) and if Takara Tomy can make a good release schedule that not just shoving a ton of beys into a ton of months cause they gotta get the beys out somehow. These are the only beys that we need/ are prob coming (besides Lucifer and Uranus)

Dragon, Achilles, Spriggan
Hyperion and Helios evolution
Lucifer evolution
Valt evolution 

It may seem like a bit, they have plenty of time to add in a ton of new beys, just look at all the single and dual layers as an example. So they can, but its if they will. If sparking really is the final season, we will prob get them as a last big hurrah. If not, Hiro Morita can prob wait to make new evolutions in other seasons.

Would make sense for the protagonists and the villain and the number 1 blader to get evolutions.

could certainly replace those random combos from the random boosters and replace some of them with like deathsyther, wyvern, xcalibur yk...We have 4 more random boosters (following GT's plot for Random Boosters) for this season (July, October, January, February)<- Perhaps this is what it followed according to the recent season. 

I mean we can't speculate already that Lane will get an evolution the fact he has two beys is eh. I would rather have the old characters own new beys than new characters own an evolved bey in the other half of the series but that is just me.

He only has two beys in the manga, not the anime. First Uranus is a B-00 bey. For all we know, there could be another July release

Well if that is the case, then there will be a random booster. (Spriggan, most likely since Lane is appearing as well as Shu) but we don't have any news for Spriggan atm. Uncertain
Why is there siblings as the protagonist for sparking I think there running out of ideas

Thats why beyblade is dying slowly because of that lol

Makes no sense, Beyblade isn’t slowly dying at all🤨

It’s doing great in Japan, the only thing that is bad about it is the direction hasbro went

I mean, it might not be as popular as it was back in metal fight, but it would get boring if we got metal fight version 2. If so it would’ve really died imo

Honestly based on how stock at my local Dollarama and Walmart stores is always out and the existence of the previous burst championships, I can definitely say that beyblade is still popular in North America. Not nearly as much as it is in Japan or as much as metal fight(hasbro) was as you said, but it’s definitely up there. Personally, I think that as long as beyblade in Japan is doing good beyblade will always be alive but that’s just me. I mean look at the old Bakugan, it was hardly popular in Asia but was insanely popular in North America but due to its lack of popularity in Japan it ended after its final spinoff despite spin masters massive success. It really depends on Japan.
Tbh if beyblade is dead/ dying I doubt a majority of us would even be here
Beyblade Burst wouldve been a lot more popular if the English dub didnt censor and change names and all, which ends up making things sound weird/narmy/off/whatever you like to call it. I get that they want to make it kid-friendly in the US. Still, Burst’s entirety seems lighter in comparison to the previous Beyblade incarnations

Im down for a more serious Beyblade show, though seriousness doesnt automatically mean good. I kinda feel like Burst gives non-fans the impression that its really for kids (whereas previous incarnations were a lil more darker)

I agree for the most part, but if they kept in names like Lucifer (which is the devils name in christianity and prob some other religions) some parents (mostly karens) would prob email and call Hasbro, spamming them with stuff like "This is demonic propaganda" And I wouldn't want to deal with that. This being said, they do censor way to much things though.  I think the overall cheesiness of the dubs voices also contribute to making beyblade seem like "just a stupid kid show".


Edit: well that Lucifer argument I made just like saying "Doom is bad cause it has demons" when they're the villains that you're ripping and tearing through. Think of something more like Satan/Satomb.
Adding onto snoc, and maybe this is just me, but I feel like the color schemes and character designs also make Burst seem kiddish to the general public. Heck, don’t get me wrong, anime viewers are familiar with the weird anime hair and designs, but something about Burst strikes to me as kiddish and a little over-the-top distracting. Just take a look at Kurtz and Ranjiro, etc

I noticed that the previous shows had more plausible colors (that look great together) and the color schemes werent as bright as the Burst characters’. The hairstyles were also somewhat logical

its anime hair, its at least gonna be somewhat over the top (whether its short but to crazy for real life, or big hair like ranjiro's). Color schemes dont matter much imo, and more darker colors wouldn't really fit the characters in the series. I can see older Valt and Shu wearing more dark colors, but people like Burst season 1 Valt and someone like Drum from GT, that would feel out of place.

edit: this could be avoiding by having more teens, but the beyblade manga runs in the main CoroCoro magazine, which is targeting towards elementary schoolers. Kids seeing themselves in the characters and liking them will only raise the popularity. I mean, to be fair they are on the older side of elementary school, but technically its for the better. Being the same age as a protag you like (or near the age) and growing up with them with every season will keep kids watching.
