Can't we have a fanservice at least for the guys to have an attractive yet strong female lead? I mean, in other anime they have MASSIVE HUGE BOUN- (ehem) fanservice that kept the people come back for more. Burst God and Chouzetsu already had a darker theme, so why not add some fanservice on GT (which seemed to only rehash the darkness plot from the two): Shu --> Aiga/Phi/Hearts/ --> Delta
Forgot two things: Don't even hate Zac's fangirls, they know to support an underrated and amazing person like Zac. And Pot's trainees are pretty damn funny for what he puts them through.
I mean it is a kids show at the end of the day. I just want female bladers who are just as well written as everyone else. Plus if you really want female fanservice, just watch Valkyire winning every intense battle its in lol. That being said, having female characters exist for the sake of fanservice is tasteless: people like characters with personality, depth, fun dynamics, and intrigue, just having it is basically an excuse to only see them for nothing more then their body when we're supposed to be interested in them as a person. For example, Xhaka has a six pack but he earned that through hard core training and exercise, showing that his physical power is great, but he's the type to put effort to be a better blader. And people like Sasha since she's nice person in a sea of judgmental hypocrites who supports her team and friends and is willing to get stronger even if she's outmatched. Making a female character's chest big adds little.
Good and valid points. I guess I really can't expect much from a kid's anime, but y'know, anime ti-*shot*
In all seriousness, I could've appreciated Chouzetsu and GT (add God while we're at it) if they had at least one female lead support (those who actually would get a Beyblade release too) that can stand against numerous male Bladers. We only see the females in each series "fight" but not necessarily showcase anything rad. Nika, Sasha, and Ichika were all given carp Beys with carp combos (so how would they even win against a carp stock say, Blast Jinnius), heck, they fight the current Layer System with an outdated Layer System. I'm not sure if you even understand what I mean, but basically everything on the Burst seasons scream "patriarchy" and don't really give the female population a bite of the cake.
In reality, tournaments garner a handful of female Bladers at least, but the anime and manga (probably, since I can't really read Japanese stuff for now) only put the gals either as bench warmers or spectators or cannon fodder.
