What are your guys worse/least fav beyblade episodes?
(All three gens)
Ah yes, the infamous Burst. I will focus on this one for now.
I guess I'll start from the latest season and go down.
SPARKING
1. Episode 45 - A clear product of why Beyblade episode should NOT be only 10 minutes long. Trying to force exposition and three tag battles into one episode made the entire thing look choppy. The only decent battle was the one that was shown in entirety (Valt & Rantaro VS Aiga & Ranjiro). Other bladers (mainly Free and Sisco) got shifted to the side because of how little time the got to shine, as if it wasn't already low enough. Hyuga and Hikaru VS Lui and Drum also could have been a lot better, but that was just an annoying medium that existed. Best thing I can say about this episode was that it was a great excuse to make the rest of the tournament well paced, with each battle after getting 1 or 2 episodes to itself.
2. Episode 44 - Best part, Wakiya came back. Worst part, annoying filler episode that had little to no significant value to the rest of the plot, and undoubtedly one of the reason episode 45 got squashed into a pile of disappointment. Again, not hating on Wakiya, just hating on the fact on how they showed him off. Might as well have not put Jet Wyvern in the anime at all if that's all he was gonna get.
3. Episode 28 - Very choppy exposition based on.. eating food? One second the bros and Mr. Akaba are eating spaghetti and the Asahis and then they're at the Akabas eating sandwiches. Kinda random. The battle was even worse. Cool, Aiga showing off default balance mode and using it in a smart way. What does Lean do? Yell Variant Wall after using the bs centrifugal force to crater conveniently provided for him. Also, what about Aiga's sky attacks that he's performed many times in the past? This is one example of an underlying problem in Sparking: taking away the older characters' past battle experiences at their own expense. At least TRY to make it look like a fight.
4. Episode 16 - For Lui to be made out as a new big obstacle and the become a plushy compared to Lean two seconds later just doesn't sit right in my mind. I know Lui was fighting a new opponent and all that, trained under Shu, and the old words of "it's not who started first". HOWEVER, that does NOT excuse the way Lean won. Just yelled Variant Wall after Lui tried to use his raw power in a more strategic way to win by a Burst. Well, in my heart, I know who I think deserved to win that one.
5. Episode 21 - Lean, Lean, Lean. Oh yeah, cool re-introduction to the legends ig. But why does Lean get to defeat FOUR PEOPLE using just VARIANT WALL?! I rest my case.
While I know others will hate episodes 22 and 27 for Hyuga shenanigans, I feel like those are fair enough to bypass my radar. I KNOW they exist, and they were somewhat bs, but it actually made some sense, especially when put next to LEAN.
Brave Valkyrie is my favorite bey, and Valt is my favorite character even if he's a bit overrated.
