i don't even think pain is going to be the last boss in db since the new merch shows rashad being on the top but anyways he's VA just got confirmed like yesterday i think so it safe to assume he's coming within the next few episodes prob in the range of this month at min because the last time they announced a new character coming (ilya) to the anime within a few weeks she comes
Which one of these battles do you think are likely to happen?
1. Valt vs Rashad rematch 3
2. Shu vs Bell rematch
3. Shu vs Rashad

I think a Valt vs Rashad rematch. Then perhaps Pain vs Rashad.

valt vs rashad is the most likely to happened amongst that you've listed imo it could happened twice because 1 i feel like valt needs to beat rashad with ultimate it just the usual revenge trend that burst like to do and 2 rashad hasn't truly beat valt yet which i think he will somewhere near the end since his whole motivation is to surpass him. a shu vs bell rematch i think is one of that match that might happened and not because the anime writer could easily do a lean and free situation and if bell in the next episode doesn't show an interest in shu then ig they will just skipped it.
About Pain I can only say wait december 9th anime leaks

Name changes:
Death Solomon has been changed to Demise Spellscraper
Dynamite Bomber has been changed to Destruction Wrecker

Wow, those names are are actually ugly 😂. Like, I know Hasbro and the dub writers are known for making these particularly rediculous name changes every now and then but this is just saddening. "Destruction Wrecker" sounds like something a 5 year old kid would shout while playing with beyblades as if it were a special move performed by their bey. And Demise Spellscraper... I get the Spellscraper would technically work based on Solomon's mythical abilities but my god, if it wasn't the ugliest thing ever.
I agree, the names just get worse and worse. It comes across Narm territory at this point — names that are meant to be treated seriously, only to get laughter from the audience because of the funny diction. “Destruction Wrecker,” seriously?
I watched the episode today and Demise Spellscraper is literally the worst name since the "Bringers" and Orb Engaard, like who at ADK Emotions came up with this name?! I will admit tho, Destruction Wrecker sounds kinda cool but it's definitely not what i had in mind.

I think we shouldn't be so hard on ADK Emotions since Beyblade Burst is really designed for around 6 to 8-Year-Olds so of course, they'd name it something kids these days would find "cool" or "Awesome" I mean we're just Teenagers who like watching Spinning Tops Pulerize battle each other so of course we'd think this stuff is childish or some of the Move Names are bad but don't forget that Beyblade's meant for a Young Audience, that's why the censor out stuff like Belial or Savior Valkyrie or else some parents will literally pounce on ADK Emotions

Welcome to the world of marketing — people are going to criticize companies 

One criticism I have about kids’ companies nowadays is their lack of effort (as well as the implication that “kids arent smart/opinionated enough.”). Just because kids are young, people assume that they can put poor effort and thought into things. And they think itll pass because kids wont notice. Everything nowadays seems “slapped together” under the excuse that it is for kids

Its not hard to pull out a dictionary or put a little more brainpower into things. There are fanfiction writers who can rewrite the whole plot of something they didnt like. Im sure the censoring board could come up with something just as thought-out

One reason My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic did super well is because of the effort put into it. The show and toys ran for around 9 years strong because of the memorable names, worldbuilding and lore, and effort put into the franchise. It was so thought-out that it appealed to older audiences while still being entertaining and easy for younger folks to understand. The people behind MLP:FiM took advantage of the peripheral demographic fandom, and they kept up with making the franchise interesting and fresh

Im wondering wheres the same energy with Beyblade Burst. It seems like companies havent taken notes yet

I 100% Agree with this. Kids are smart some are very smart for their age and sometimes know more than adults do. And also the Censoring and Dialogue could use some work and more effort. We've all noticed the effort ADK Emotions and Hasbro is giving is starting to fall a lot and they can't just get away with it just because kids are watching. But we also need to keep in mind that they are trying to appeal to a Younger Audience and will sometimes use moves that sound "Awesome" or whatever. Destruction Wrecker isn't the best move name but some people like it some people don't. It's really a matter of opinion. Overall what you said pretty much sums it up but what I'm saying is sometimes Hasbro will use names or moves that try to appeal to Younger Kids. I admit they could use work and way more effort but some people like it some don't. And it's okay to criticize anything that you think needs improvement also I feel like I'm learning a lot about Marketing from the WBO.
I think ADK Emotions just don't care besides it's a kids toy company, as long as the kids like it. It'll sell good. But I'm sad how low Hasbro has gone.

Hi, Buddy. Just a reminder you should go to the Recent Purchases if you're talking about Beyblades you just bought. This is for discussion or thoughts about the Anime. No problem at all I'm just giving you a little reminder! Smile

Ohh Alright then I’ll try and go share the photos there the next time I buy my fourth one because my goal is to get up to five of them! Thanks pal! Wink
Well I decided to watch season 2 of Beyblade burst, and it’s a mixed bag for me. I think it’s safe to say that Beyblade will never reach the highs of say The Dark Knight or Infinity War, but nonetheless I’m giving it the same sort of grading scale as other movies. So let’s start off with my problems. My problem comes from the villain shu. He’s just not enough of a threat until the later episodes, sure he beats people with legend, but the problem is that he doesn’t defeat enough to where we think of him as a threat (of course it’s fixed with requiem, but even then it takes too long for him to become menacing). My next problem is that they have the weird bey spirit thing, and while it’s a good concept they don’t expand on it any further. An explanation as to why they exsist would be nice because we are left with a sense of what’s going on whenever we see them. My final problem is the character development of some of the characters. Take Valt for example, he’s a happy to go lucky kid at the start and he stays like that till the end. Now I’m not trying to say that Valt has to be edgy or anything by the end, but they should at least show how the events impacted him in the end (something handled well with Shu and Free). Well that’s enough on the negative, let’s talk about the pros. This Beyblade has a very strong reoccurring theme of friendship that carries the plot forward. Another pro is that there’s enough character dynamics to make it interesting. Anyways let’s put it into a grading scale. I’m giving it a 50% seeing as there’s pros and cons and the cons really ruined it for me. You may agree or disagree with it, but next review I’m doing is Cho-z.
Some interesting facts about Lui from Hiro Morita's recent Q&A:
-Lui was born into a famous family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and his parents are in high status positions. 
-Lui cultivated his self reliance as early as possible
-Although he appeared in special training scenes on the island, he did not live on that island. That island was bought for special training for tops.
-Lui also recieved investment education related to equity investment from his parents and he has mastered the financial strength to live independently.

wow I love your pics
More from Hiro Morita's Q&A:
Q: How did Beyblade Burst change the protagonist every time?

A: Because I think it’s more interesting to replace the protagonist with a new role every season.

I think that adult readers and children readers of Corocoro have different ways and feelings, and the new things that children feel are circulated faster. I think changing the protagonist every year can make readers feel bored and enjoy the work for a longer period of time.

Q:In Beyblade Burst God, the decisive battle between Valt and Free. The comics and animations are not about Valt winning Free and surpassing the world's number one.

A: This kind of sports and combat works must be composed of stories that the protagonist must defeat and surpass him when a strong enemy appears, but I don't want to take this development for granted. According to the strength setting of Free at the time, he does not It is not an existence that Valt can easily surpass, so it was written like that.

Q: Are Free and Chris family members? Or childhood sweethearts? Please tell me how they met?

A: Free was born in Chris’ family to contribute to society and the orphanage opened. Chrissy has often interacted with the children in the orphanage since she was a child, and she met Free at that time. Free’s character is not good at making friends and is often alone, so Chris took the initiative to talk to Free. For Free, the first friend he made was Chrissy, and the two of them were the so-called childhood sweethearts.

Q:If possible, can you talk about the reasons for Suoh's dual personality, where did that personality come from, and what experience has he had?

A: Suoh's family is an orthodox and noble famous family, Childhood habits and etiquette discipline were very strict. It is precisely because of this childhood experience that I created another personality in my heart.

your pictures looked awesome
So lui and shu are basically semi rich huh. No wonder shu got the bulls and lui got a whole Island or the fact that he has stadium for himself. Their way of Dressing also kind of reflects their noble famous family and being this discipline. Free also has an interesting childhood also a bit on christina. Glad we get yo know more about these 3 considering how they were built to be the face of burst along side Valt. They really remind me of the bladebreakers quattro

Oh that Part was answer by Hiro a while I after god. A fan asked him what you're wondering. He said that the reason why shu appeared to live alone is cause his mother gets home really really late she isnt available duirng the days. Which is why shu can do anything domistically and he also Cook for his Mom when she comes home at Night. Now with that info i guess we know why she works so late Now and also why shu lives alone (kind of)
