I wouldn't count out Gingka, he needed work to defeat half of his opponents.
Tsubasa was handled well.
Yeah, what bothered me about Yu is that he never used Last Judgement Inferno after losing to Masamune. Weird right?
Masamune tried, plus he beat Chi yun and Nile in the rematch. Klaus was a tough opponent and Zeo drugged on Arangement so I won't hold those against him.

Yes I agree about hyoma he could've been use more one of the thing that I would've done is after reiji had destroy and rekt rock Aries I think it giving burn fireblaze I mean after that performance of that bey with Ryo it would've been a good apportuniry to past it to him and let burn fireblaze to still run wild such a shame. Yes ginkga wasnt always almighty which is a thing I like about him. Yea yu never use last judgment inferno for some reason remember when his special moves were almost busted and was a threat. You have a fair point with masamune. But yea the defently could've done a bit more for some of them.
What if they made Burn Aries. Though Burn Fireblaze would be a good upgrade for him after going to a (supposed) ice themed area.
At least they brought back Last Judgement Inferno in Fury.

Go to a character page on the wiki, click their special moves, and on that page, they should have the japanese kanji/hirogana/katakana. Copy the Japanese text, go to google translate, go for Japanese to English and you should be set.
I would do that normally, but some of the special moves in the Wiki don't have the kanji/hirogani/katakana/romaji (King Lion Furious Blast Shot, Dragon Emperor Supreme Flight, Crushing Blast, and more moves) and it just frustrates me whenever the move in English doesn't sound the same in Japanese (for example, I gave Chris and his Banard's Loop special move a pass, because in Japanese it sounds similar enough for me). Google Translate has.... a bit of a knack for mistranslating to an almost funny degree too.
I wonder if slash valkriye combined with ace dragon
Hyde/Hearts didn't really seem like a bad guy to me, Sure he lived in an evil castle but he didn't really do anything wrong, Sure he has the Power with his bey where he can feel the hits, also I think Hearts' name did make sense to me because he was like the Heart of his bey I guess? Okay so now that I'm reading that I kinda sound dumb but it's whatever
Hearts was never a bad guy he was like lui type of blader, talk smack and wants to get stronger and beat everyone thats not malice at all , that's call being competitive, phi was the one with malice attentions and deliver.

Well Lui was more of a jerk about it but Hearts I thought was a great character and his ability was pretty unique
Im just going to say that some Bladers end up getting really jerk-ish for some reason. In a funny way because on the surface level, there are kids going competitive and evil from a spinning top. Nevertheless, I dislike Lui for his attitude but think hes a fine character as a whole

I feel like he was the Kurtz Of S1.

I like Gabe because he was kinda like the glue of Rideout. Without him, Lui would have been a little too loose — and would probably harass or bully the members, if Gabe hadnt existed to tense him down. His existence also makes Lui less Gary Stu/Mary Sue, since “hating everyone and acting like an edge” contributes to such status. He shows that people like Lui can have friends, and that they dont hate everyone

Just saying this are not mine I just ran into them and I know some people have been waiting for these so I thought I would share them, kinda disappointed in Phi's and Agia's dark voices
I just realized.

Ryuga and the Russian announcer dude have the same voice.
I noticed this while reading a little manga before bed last night.  In a short mini-comic in Volume 11, Aiga and Ranjiro are in awe of Phi’s many hobbies and interests that paint him as a man of refinement.  Apparently he’s quite the bibliophile.  

[Image: 10fb3g4.jpg]
Phi:    “How unique…”
Ranjiro:     “He’s a super bookworm.”
Aiga:    “Uh….”

The spine of Phi’s book says “Hyperio-“ with last character covered up.  I venture to guess that it’s Hyperion, a Hugo Award-winning 1989 science fiction novel by American author Dan Simmons.

What’s the significance of this?  Eschatology is a big theme of the Hyperion series… Death, judgement day, the final end of humanity and such.  At the center of the story is a supernatural being called the Shrike, an immensely powerful death god of uncertain origins and motives, who impales people in especially brutal fashion.  Sound like anybody we know?  I found it interesting.
I like Metal Masters, easily a top 5 Beyblade season. However, I got some tiny picnics here and there. So for my b-day hilarious, pointless, nitpick rant. Can’t believe I did this with Fusion and Fury before I got to Masters.

Sophie and Wles are Konzern’s twin jewels…pffft
Why the hell is Mei-Mei with a pre HWS bey except in the games? At least Hikaru got the Storm fusion wheel.
And Mei-Mei, it took you four special moves to finally have a Water attack for Aquario! Playing as them in the DS game is rough.
So Selen and Enzo both how Slumdog Driver, a wind special move….from Gasher. The hell does that make sense, Cancer’s a water themed bey. Unless they were going for cancer as in the Garcias are the cancers of the Metal Saga and human decency but its still weird.
Kinda wish Team Louvuska would’ve taken part in Beyblade World War 3 but I can’t tell which side would they be on.
Why was Demure’s gender changed? Not all girls have big chests ya know and people dress differently!
On the subject of Wild Fang, why the hell didn’t Benkei use Maximum Stampede again! Would’ve definitely KOed Yu and it could’ve gave Tsubasa Kyoya PTSD flashbacks and Ryuga flashbacks too.
Glad Gaser’s playable in the DS game but why didn’t they let him use his special move in the anime!
Team Chandora. They’re serviceable fodder but given how one had a Storm Serpent and the other had a Rock Serpent, their strategies and tactics could’ve been better handled…at least so Wild Fang could just no sell them all.
Why didn’t Reiji participate in the Area Selection Tournament. The other season 1 bladers did, Sora even got 7th place.
Yu….should’ve used Last Judgement Inferno a more.
Masamune only having one special move kinda hurt him in a long run. Didn’t mind his battles though, he gave his all.
Lera could’ve done more. At least let her fight Tsubasa and use her disturbtion attacks to cancel out his attacks.
Aleksei…you’re battle could’ve been better without cheating, his special move in the game is pretty wild.
Zeo’s Magnetic Needle Storm is all kinds of broken. No wonder he only used it once.
Gingka’s battle with Kyoya was a bit one sided so unless I consider power scaling, which does make more sense now, it did feel like Kyoya was going to win.
It would’ve been hard, but if Argo can negate attacks from above, Yu or Masamune probably could’ve beaten him.
Yu deserved a proper final opponent he could beat.

Anyone else find it funny Tsubasa lost to Chi Yun who lost to Klaus who lost to Jack who Tsubasa eventually beat.

Then allow me to give you your birthday gift by answering these as best as I can haha.

Yeah unfortunately the whole Twin Jewels thing is an unfortunately accidental innuendo, I mean what was wrong with "Twin Guard" or "Twin Shield"?

Mei Mei is a minor supporting character after all, although I do wish she had a HWS, I heard she had Flame Aquario or something somewhere.

I assume you're referring to Mei Mei in the games? Then it's probably how the game is, I think in the anime she's capable of fighting goons with one or two special moves.

It's odd but I was assuming it's their beys rapidly spinning and becoming a tornado. I don't know if the beys all have a consistent element AFAIK. Although yes they do suck, except Argo in my opinion. But the whole Gasher clear wheel thing is that they generally belong to cheaters, with the exception of Madoka and that one dude who fought Ryuga in Metal Fury for a wheelbarrel of salt.

I assume you mean the Gan Gan, Wild Fang, Wang Hu Zhong and Excalibur VS Starbreaker + Julian? I suppose it would be interesting but none really show a lot of malice towards the main characters, and they got redeemed pretty soon. But it is weird Louvushka did NOTHING after their tournament until Sphere 360.

I was confused whether Demure was male or female actually, but most sources referred to him as male, and he's also voiced by Kensukes JP VA I think? Anyway reasoning will unfortunately most likely be because he doesn't "look" like a female. Unfortunate I know.

I would've have loved to see it, instead of the same move over and over. At least when Kenta got a second special move he used it a lot.

No clue as to why, maybe it looked too awesome compared to Perseus? I forgot what the ingame move was like.

Chandora was simply fodder in the end, no need to put effort for all I guess was their thought, but it would be cool. We never saw Rock Serpent fight though so that remains to be seen.

Reiji was turned to stone and I guess people considered him irredeemable.

Yu... I mean, you... mean he didn't? I always thought it was the same through and through. But he apparently had an improved Judgement Inferno during Metal Masters. I think Final Judgement Inferno was a thing in 4D but I forget.

Yeah that was odd, especially since everyone else in his team had more. Even Wang Hu Zhongs members had at least two each.

I agree with this too, but at the same time would it have actually stopped his moves? Either way Tsubasa is still far superior in skill.

Aleksei's move in the game was likely a filler move as he had none in the anime. His floating move couldn't be used otherwise since it technically doesn't count.

That move was pretty strong, and I so wished he used it against Ryuga. I also wish his Byxis didn't in some dumb luck wobble before potentially finishing off L-Drago.

While that's true, Ginga's battles are normally, new blader does well and does a bunch of awesome moves almost about to win, then Ginga pulls a win last minute. But in this case it's a tie.

Yu for sure, his Judgement Inferno move actually uppercutted Gil in Episode 97 and could neutralise his dive. Masamune could strike him and win as long as he hits Gil as it's diving and avoid Gil crushing it from above. But I'll admit if he hit the clear wheel, Unicorno would sustain a lot of damage even if it won.

I agree, Yu's last world champion battle sucked, worse since it was against the worst character in the franchise.

That whole cycle is odd, but I'd like to think Tsubasa grew much stronger as the series progressed, since he overcame his darkness, got a new special move, showed his improvement where he went from losing to Chi Yun to drawing against him. It's explainable for sure.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Metal Fusion is messed up. Let’s count them shall we? Ryuga getting possessed by L Drago, Reiji turning to stone, Doji making Kenta, A 10 YEAR OLD, battle against Reiji, who just destroys him. And to top it off: The “death” of Doji.

Reiji doesn't actually turn to stone, it's probably just a metaphor on his loss because in the final frame of Metal Fusion, we see him (albeit not very clearly).
ALRIGHT, after Storm Pegasis what is your guys's predictions what TT will make after Pegasis?

My Predictions:
Rock Leone, Flame Sagittario, Dark Bull, Lightning LDrago (Those have to be in the must section like cmon.) If we demand more of these they might release Eagle, Aquario, Libra n yeah.
phi lauging in choz ep 50 reminded me of kira from deathnote

and hearts always reminds me of hidan from naruto
What's Storm Spriggan//Spryzen (huh, Spriggan's are ugly fairies, good foreshadowing) stats anyways?
Happy Birthday Cuza!
