Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts

It might not be the best choice of words but it's certainly not wrong nor right to call the old gen as such as it's opinion based.
Who was the better idol character, Zac or Ming-Ming?

I'm fine with both.

I know a lot of people would choose Zac in a heartbeat as Ming-Ming is one of the most hated Beyblade characters... period, but I liked her just as much as Zac just because she riled everything up for the main protagonists and added more pressure to their team whilst I like Zac for being a nice guy who just wants to have fun.

I don't think calling it "crappy" was really that offensive, it just means he/she personally didn't like it. It's just the level of dislike he/she may have towards it is why the word "crappy" was used.

Like, there are episodes I absolutely hate like "The Power Half Hour" from V-Force and I've probably called the episode a lot of unpleasant things.

Now that I think about it, you guys are right. Everyone has their own way of expressing their thoughts and have their own tastes, but I don't know why, in that moment, the word triggered me, but I apologise. Sorry.

I prefer Zac. Ming-Ming was a strong character, no doubt in that, but I felt she was a little self absorbed, but it was good to see a female character adding pressure onto the main gang. On the other hand, Zac has an outgoing personality, and is genuine and caring at the same time. So I prefer him. On a side note, we haven't seen either of them sing xD. I don't remember, but I guess Ming Ming used to do something during her battles, her outfit used to change and she sang(?)..
sorry for being a bit off topic but imagine the composer for MHA composes beyblade burst gt and makes the osts for battles. that would be insane
I just noticed a roadblock in GT that Can screw Hasbro really badly unless they request minor changes to the dub. Before Drum and Amane fought, they said the names of all three of their layers' parts. This makes me assume that every new Bey and/or layer configuration will be introduced this way. If this is true, Hasbro's safest decisions would be to replicate the GT Beys with slopes or cut out every Bey introduction and shorten the animation that builds Ace Dragon in the Beyblade world introduction so they can make one piece layers. Honestly, I would say that Hasbro is most likely not going to request any changes and still not allow layer customization.

They had use the TT names for parts even in the dub in season 1
Like when Ukyo was talking about his move in his first battle he mentioned needle

That is never going to happen 
They won't continue the old crappy plastic gen anime

Lol but in my opinion it's not trash, it is the anime that began the rest of the series, give it some respect atleast.

Can we spark a discussion between here. Ginka Vs Tyson. Personally I prefer Tyson as a charcter and powerwise. But Ginka is DEFINITLY not weak.

I prefer Tyson as a protagonist, I like his depth compared to Ginga and how he feels more relatable. I get that Ginga is supposed to be like a fantasy series hero type character, it's fine but I prefer Tyson, being both goofy and someone who genuinely feels passionate, he genuinely felt like he picked himself up from his low point. Episode 21 of G-Revolution, we can all relate to Tyson in some way.

Now, as for who is more powerful, I don't know, they've both demonstrated rather impressive feats no doubt so it's hard to tell. On one hand, Ginga defeated what I think is the most powerful blader in the franchise, Rago. On the other hand, Ginga needed far more resources (all legend blader powers + the entire worlds blader spirit) to beat him. Tyson also relied on his friends to beat (at least I think) Brooklyn, it seemed like he was able to hold his own against Brooklyn, and at that time I think Brooklyn was definitely a major threat in the franchise only second to Rago, so Tyson has also demonstrated some impressive feats. A tough choice and while not really conclusive for me, I'll go for Tyson.
I like how it's subtly implied that Free was the strongest blader in Cho-Z before Dead Phoenix and the Cho-Z Beyblades came into play.

Free was able to defeat Phi's Dead Armour Press which was implied to be as strong as or just a little stronger than the Revive Armour Press which broke Z Achilles and Dead Hades.
It's also implied that Valt and Aiga couldn't defeat Hearts without their Cho-Z upgrades due to the animation of the Burst stoppers working as intended on the final impact and the fact that Aiga couldn't overpower Hearts in Attack when he could do so against Valt.
Furthermore, when Valt first got Cho-Z Valkyrie, Valt only won due to the Burst stopper (again, the animation of it working on Free's last attack) and he would have lost by Burst even with the greater launch strength if the gimmick wasn't there

Hmm, but this doesn't include Shu who seems to have had Cho-Z Spriggan long before Valt made Cho-Z Valkyrie...

It's probably why Phi never battled Free while he had Revive Phoenix, well, other than because it makes complete sense for the plot. They wanted Phi to avoid losing as much as possible so he normally picked off stronger bladers who aren't quite top tier, like Laban or Xhan. Hearts... you could say was a top tier blader but honestly, the usual case of any strong RBV prize beys, once they've outlived their usefulness, they hardly ever win again and become irrelevant, something that Dead Hades, Beat Kukulcan, Shelter Regulus and Quad Quetzalcoatl seem to suffer from, though bK was necessary, and I guess dH breaking was as well. Anyway I'm going on a little tangent here I apologise.

Free was also the first blader that Kyle took his battle seriously in, and while it was because Free pretty much taunted him, they really wanted to demonstrate Free by having him the one who earned Kyle taking his mask off in front of him, then beating it right after, to the point where Kyle shrieked when he was about to lose.

Admittedly, the Revive Armour Press is a bit inconsistent, because it broke Dead Hades and Z Achilles but failed to break Buster Xcalibur for some reason, and it wouldn't have really effected the plot if it did break, because all Xhan did was be Aiga's practice buddy and granted Xhakas rather pointless appearance. My assumption is that Xcalibur should be on par with Hades at least (but then again Xcalibur could beat Cho Z Achilles 2 points whereas Hades couldn't so... I really don't know), so I really never got why it was spared from Phoenix. BUT I suppose it did lose to it anyway, while Free didn't.

Probably because it's Xcalibur, a popular main stay Beyblade (same reason why Cho-Z Spriggan was repaired in just one episode after plot demanded that Phi break it)

It was definitely the reason why honestly, TT really loves Xcalibur and fake hyping it. But for the plot, it's a fair bit inconsistent, I mean he could've repaired it later on but oh well I'm making a big deal out of nothing now so I'll stop there.

It's odd that Spriggan got repaired presumably because it was a main stay yet Fafnir didn't, I mean Fafnir probably has nearly as much relevance and popularity as Spriggan and it was a main single release, but I suppose there is no reason for TT to backpedal on keeping Fafnir broken anyway, especially since we're getting a new Fafnir soon.

It seemed like they destroyed Leopard because Laban tried to look at Phi’s fortune so I honestly do not think it is because if Xcalibur’s status.
I read someone saying GT has a fresh vibe likewise 1st season and I totally agree although it's a bit early to judge. Looking at Valt's new color scheme I have the feeling he'll be using orange cosmo base at some point. My guess is GT gonna have less bladers (season poster has less characters then usual) in the show and instead of total new beys and new owner every random booster, creators will use them to release new parts for existing beys (es. Cosmo Valkyrie). It's just speculation based on my feelings but I'd like your opinion on that...

While Shelter was a bit obvious, I don't think the rest are fair assumptions. Hearts was still a strong blader, its just Aiga, Valt, and Phi got stronger,
Kurtz despite being out of retirement was the sixth strongest blader by the end of the God Blader's Cup, survived Sprrigan Requiem, and beat everyone in his block but Valt in round 2 and Cuza in round 2.
Does Quetzalcoatl really count since only two of his matches were serious battles against Valt?

Think about it like this, Buster Xcalibur's raw massive attack power. It should be able to power through Revive Impact, but Revive Armor attacks from two directions. Buster was probably able to survive because its power alone countered the force required to destroy the bey from Phoenix, while Bursting from the armor attack.

Geez, cut Xhan some slack, he did more than that and was a fun character. Don't forget Xhan and Hearts are considered one of the four strongest bladers so they're someone in the same power range (and Xhan had more offscreen training time since Hades broke).
Some battles I wish we got in Beyblade Burst God are Gazmen (idk how you spell it) vs Joshua, Cilo vs Joshua, Lui vs Rantaro, Red Eye vs Joshua which did happen in the manga
I still wish Zac and Ken could have battled in God with Galaxy Zeus and Guardian Kerbeus.

I mean, Zac vs Joshua. Battle of the Super Stars

I'd love to see it. If Joshua's bey is all around crushing those that are inferior to him with Cyclone Counter, Zac's special move could be an uppercut with the metal balls in attack balls countering attacks from above (special move: Rising Galaxy?)

Does anyone else want to see Shu become champion in GT? Even if it’s just for a while and then someone else takes it. Shu’s never been champ.
