16. Wakiya Komurasaki
17. Daina Kurogami
18. Rantaro Kiyama
19. Hyuga Asahi
20. Hikaru Asahi
But in my honest opinion, I think the ranking list should be this: 
1. Valt Aoi
2. Shu Kurenai
3. Bell Daikokuten
4. Rashad Goodman
5. Lean Walhalla
6. Hyuga Asahi
7. Aiga Akaba 
8. Free de la Hoya
9. Lui Shirosagijo
10. Drum Koryu
11. Hikaru Asahi
12. Phi
13. Gwyn Ronny
14. Delta Akane
15. Kaiza Xhakuenji
16. Sisco Karlisle
17. Zenkuro Kurogane
18. Wakiya Komurasaki
19. Daina Kurogami
20. Rantaro Kiyama

I don't care if it's inaccurate since the ranking is kinda eh... And the fact that Hyuga and Hikaru are below Rantaro seems unrealistic since they're way stronger than him (no disrespect to Rantaro btw).

Since it was VA's who mentioned it that means it's referring to the anime and not the manga since the manga doesn't use VA's. So it was basically a Lane situation, where in the anime/manga Rashad was the "Strongest" but only for the time being. So that means Valt is the strongest blader in both the anime and manga then. please correct me if i got any info wrong

That's even if you take the word of VA's as canonical fact (it wasn't even Rashad or Valt's VA). They have no hand in the creation of the characters or the story and it isn't an official statement like a bio for example. Valt's the Strongest Blader in the World when he Savor and Ultimate.
yea i get that. Im just saying that it looks like a lane situation where Rashad in the anime/manga was the strongest but only for the moment. But yea Valt is the Stronger blader between him and Rashad. So in the end: Valt is still the Worlds number 1 blader and the strongest blader in the World. For both the anime and manga.
Theirs one thing i want to clarify Rashad was #1 in the manga at one point but he Seems to have gain via points but he actually never defeated Valt for that spot infact he didnt defeat any of the top 5, but at that time Rashad strenght was above Valt but after while his strenght is around the top 5 which means from shu to lui or free plus Valt of course can beat him. But his the strongest of the new bladers. Him and Bell are the only ones who's strenght rivals the top 5. You Could say at the end Rashad and Bell power was stabilize to Where it suppossed to be. Just like Lane during Sparking his final strenght is being 3rd strongest
Y’all I had a question. Can you list how rich or their net worth these characters are or would be:

Valt Aoi
Shu Kurenai
Phi/Hyde
Lui Shirosagi
Wakiya Murasaki
Theodore Glass/Ashtem
Joshua Burns
Xavier Bogard
Arthur Peregrine

So just asking, still a little out the loop and a bit confused sorry. But in the manga how was Rashad stronger than Valt? Like you said Rashad never defeated any of the top 5 and on top of that he lost to Valt in the title match Which is how Valt reclaimed the Number 1 rank. So when was rashad stronger than Valt? And 2. So basically at the end of the manga Valt is the Strongest blader overall while Rashad the strongest new gen. Why wouldnt bell be the strongest new gen?

If we are trying to "PoWEr ScaLE" then bell should be the strongest. Ususally the manga is strctured like an RPG game sort of style where the last boss is the strongest but this time is a bit different, Bell stated that the perfect gear is his "last resort" thing or thrump card and even with that rashad still can equally fight against him breaking 3 out of 4 gears wheres with valt, bell didn't even use the perfect gear and morita also didnt really focus on the battle with valt and bell but more so with the epilogue. So by that it should be bell>rashad>valt

Well if thats the case then the same can be said with Valt and Valkyrie. Valt just got ultimate and Just awakened it so he wouldn't have complete mastery over its new power as it’s been the same with pretty much every Valkyrie. Like Valt might have some experience due to past Valkyries but that doesnt mean hes mastered it, 2 Valt and Bell would be more even with Valt probably edging out a bit more. And 3 going off Valt’s character and win record, name every time Valt has lost but is ultimately still the strongest blader. Just because bell defeated Valt once doesnt make him the stronger blader. Maybe during the moment but not overall. A great example being Aiga. And lastLy upgrades dont make everything which is shown by rashad and lui annihilating Bell multiple times and flat out breaking them, Valt even knows what each upgrade is capable of due to Battling the beys that the upgrades are based off of. I believe it all depends on circumstances plus they can still rival and beat the top 5.

Rashad was claimed to stronger cause of his accomplishment plus Valt said it too  that Rashad has reach his strenght at the beginning its similar to how Lane was not only was at #2 but #1 strenght he rival both of them and could beat them. If any one no who's stronger at that time it would be Valt, like i said Valt simple caught up to him at the end. As for why Bell isnt consider to be the strongest of his gen its also simple bell never battle in Official matches while Rashad has on top of that he conquered the ones that was suppossed to be able to beat him officially. Bell only enter the discusion after he started to have Official matches so makes sense why Bell wasnt consider at first. After all Bell only has 2 Official match which are against Rashad and Valt.  I also want to respond to another quote of you about who's stronger by the End of the manga it is Bell cause Valt did lose his World title at the end of the manga it was an Official match for the World Title apprently and as for Valt not just mastering valkyrie its false before his match with Bell even if Bell didnt get the #1 (not confirm) he still beat the #1 blader an the World ,  Valt was training to master Ultimate which he did variable awakening was Valt purpose doing his battle with Bell he was confident when it was doing to happen thats why The oanle showing variable losing the rubber teeth to awaken was showed an detail that was Valt at the pinacle of Beyblade that was the legend of legend of hunting bearing his fangs at Bell . He had complety mastery even before that match and control over ultimate he lost fair an square to Bell. At the end Bell ended being the strongest their no if or what cause the manga ended their no re-do for the final match thats how the story ended. The Aiga example isnt also a good one cause cho z wasnt the end of the story if burst had stop at cho z Aiga would've end up as the strongest cause thats how the story ends but it didnt end so he can be surpassed again

 I meant in terms of actual strength between Rashad and Bell. Not status of what the world thinks. 2. Aiga is a ok example again name how many antagonist and protagonist have defeated Valt just for him to come back out on top. If They wanted another new main character to rise they wouldn’t constantly have Valt be the top blader in every season. Valt isnt the main character yet always comes out on top compared to other mains who are always pushed back after no longer being the main. 3. Yes Valt did master the base of Ultimate but did he master the awakening? No. Every time Valt has awakened Valkyrie he never had full control/mastery off the bat. Victory, brave, savior all examples of Valkyrie awakenings that he mastered over time. Yes Valt believed that the increase in power would be enough to defeat belial but belial had a counter. It takes more than raw power to win every time. just going based off his actual character and his own wins to losses. And again just because bell beat Valt doesn’t make him the overall strongest. If thats the case that would be every blader then. Again my opinion thats all. If bell is then good for him hes the strongest. Im just going off what ive read.

Lost against lane, couldn't consistently use the cho z awakening, always had trouble using victory after awakend, was even training with shu to awaken valkyrie and master the awakening creating moves based around its new power, and on the verge of beating rashad and creating stronger moves based around awakened savior. Stuff ya know he didnt master off the bat. But some being plot based so yea. But same can be said with bell. He got washed against lui because he didnt know what to do. Again idc if bell is the strongest if he is then thats good i have NOTHIN against it. Im just going off things i watched and read and is strictly my opinion. Plus nothing is confirmed so everything is LEFT to interpretation as well for both sides.

Like i said he did with ultmate an his battle not only he master the base but also the awakening fully this was not a brave, Victory or Savior situation. Like i said Valt had no disaventage he had completely matar both base and awakening he had everything aiganst Bell. The status reflects Rashad strenght That's why I point it out Bell only became the strongest of the new gen after beating Rashad, because Bell proves he was stronger. Rashad title of strongest new gen is before Bell beats him.  Like i said again valt lost yo Bell cause Bell was stronger that was the point of the battle it was to prove Bell has indeed top the best of the best at his pinacle. Theirs no brave or previous master both bey and awakening he did it completely an that match. Valt being stronger overall is fan thing which story says otherwise the author says otherwise. Thats like debating who's stronger between ryuga and Gingka plus Rago. The story end with Valt being dethrone by the End of burst their no story after that its the end unlike the previous season where Valt comes back an his at the top again thats not the case this time cause theirs no rerurning at the top Valt cant challenge Bell anymore cause its over. Anything after that is simple fans debating on something thats settle.if we go with the anime its a diferent story ending but the manga made it clear and seal it.

Again i really dont care if bell is the strongest no issue with it. Once again my opinion on things ive read. Plus what you said kinda made no sense. Valt had to to master every Valkyrie but this is the one he doesnt have to even though its been consistent with every valkyrie. And 2 “its a fan thing” yet is officially shown in every manga after god. But again if bell is then cool. If you want to hate me for my opinion then ok. Like i said way earlier on i take both sides.

Hate why would i hate you for that their no problem between us were just having a conversation i got nothing against you . You ask a question i just respond you apply valt always need to master valkyrie and I told you it doesnt apply to ultimate this time cause unlike the previous he did it faster this time Nor farther mastery was requiered this time. Its not complicated when its says so. Im not debating with my personal opinion my respons is what the manga answer and give. My personal has no weight what the author went for. Example i don't think Bell is stronger than Rashad infact bell isnt even  in my top 5 list, but thats personal the story said otherwise i cant change that. Its the same for you valt is better but thats not what the story says its personal opinions.

I didn’t necessarily mean hate, just more used to the more toxic side of things when it comes to the fandom. But besides that i agree with you by every means. Its more like nothing has even been officially stated. Which is why i say opinion or up to interpretation. Because sometimes thats how books/movies/other medias sorta leave things off. Just interpretation. Even if something is shown but never exactly stated. Thats why i say i take both sides. Because going off a normal stand point then its one path but interpretation stand point then it can be another path. So i go with both paths and accept both paths. Simply sharing my sides. So i domt disagree with anything you say. I still take it into account. But the hate part is something different, things can get hectic from experiences….but again just sharing opinion while looking at both side. If you dont like it i can easily stop. Which we probably do so regardless.

If you really think valt is the best balder then why ask in the first place. sorry if this is a bit harsh but thats sounds more like you're defending X character other than taking a points from others to examine.

I can see why. And when i say master i dont mean like a complete change from my view it seems like as he slowly masters it as he adds a bit more to his arsenal doing more compared to before the awakening. 2 i asked because I could in terms of the manga things are constantly changing so i just wanted to be in the loop. But no i agree why you think that since well it looks like that and what i said probably does seem stupid. But no, im pretty ok with it. No issues. Guess to interested.

I actually read this over again and i agree with this, We both have our own opinions but they have no actual weight on what the author does with the story. And of course we have no input in what the author does with their story cus its their story and characters. Im not trying to argue against the author. My point was that both sides might just be interpretation equally right and wrong (unless the author himself confirms something). And by sides i mean our sides…ig? Like for example Bell defeated Valt and what does that confirm: Bell is world champion and is the strongest new gen blader. But this is where i say interpretation comes into play. Example: You think Bell is the number 1 but thats not confirmed, thats what you think. I think bell didn’t become number 1 but only the world champion, again not confirmed but thats what i think. Because both ways its not confirmed. Another example is Bell defeated Valt: that shows that Bell was the stronger blader and is a blader that can rival the top 5 like you said earlier. And thats where Interpretation might come in again because You believe Bell is stronger than Valt because he defeated him, while I believe it was that just for that battle and Valt is still stronger (since strongest doesnt equal unbeatable and for the series always portraying Valt as the strongest)or some might think they are just evenly matched. Nothing is actually confirmed we only have an interpretation based off what we read which differs. But what is true: bell was stronger during that battle. So in the end Bell could be stronger and is the number 1 or Valt could still be stronger and is the number 1 its all based on interpretation. Thats why im with both sides and whatever the author confirms as true then im all for it because its his story that he understands better than anyone. But at the end of the day the point of the chapter/battle was meant to represent the rise of a new gen which bell did becoming champion and how the love for blading will pass on. Sorry if didnt convey this the best earlier.
So did Phi corrupt Aiger’s resonance or did Aiger’s resonance get corrupted from fear of being destroyed by Phi?
I finally got around to reading the DB manga, and it truly is superior to the anime. The character development, dialogue, themes, pacing, all just work much better in the manga. The manga does not have the same story length as the anime but it is not to its detriment - Morita paces the story out well. Unlike the anime there is no filler arc that throws off the pacing, and it's short and to the point.

Manga Bell and Rashad are much more defined as their "Demon King" and "Supreme King" roles and Bell has a fantastic character arc where he embraces his "villain" persona and learns to not give up even in the face of the entire Beyblade World being his opposition. Rashad is a threatening force from his introduction and feels much more like Bell's enemy than in the anime, where they never really feel more than just unfriendly at most rather than antagonistic. Basara gets a way more defined role and his own character arc and connects Bell and Rashad in a way that the anime fails to do. Character decisions feel more individually motivated rather than other characters influencing decisions (ex. manga Basara and manga Rashad both choose to replace their Beys on their own, and for their own reasons, rather than being told to. They come to the decision on their own).

The dialogue is a lot more well written, and the characters have actual personalities instead of cheesy cliche Beyblade lines. The absence of Ilya and Phenomeno wasn't really an issue because Ilya serves as part of anime Rashad's development into the Supreme King persona - in the manga he is already established as such, so Ilya only appears in his backstory, which is fine. Phenomeno felt tacked onto the anime and served to make Supreme King Rashad look "bad", but Morita does so without needing an additional character and a filler story arc.

I'm curious where did you read the Manga? Did you buy it or something or is there an Online Website to read the Manga.

I read it in Japanese through the publisher.

As a side note, in regards to if Bell is the title "Champion" or "No.1 Blader" in the manga ending, it is factual that Bell defeats Valt, but it is not specified if this is a title match or not, and I don't think Morita intended it to be something like that. The final battle is to symbolize the "new generation" (Bell) defeating the "old guard" (Valt, the first protagonist), and it is built up through several pages displaying previous characters.

If we are discussing power-wise, I would still argue that 1 loss does not invalidate Valt's spot as the strongest Blader, as consistency in wins is required - both Valt and Rashad in the manga display overwhelming strength and Bell is definitely the underdog in the story.

I think it was a title match. Since when the announcer was introducing both bladers i believe he said “a title match that attracts world wide attention” or “a title match that the world is paying attention to” and “or will bell….. become the champion of the new generation” i could be wrong but thats what i got from it when reading.

Oh, indeed you are correct. Looks like I missed that part entirely - the announcer does in fact state it's a title match.

I also agree with what you said earlier. About how the battle With Bell and Valt was meant to represent the rise of the new generation which happened through Bell defeating Valt and Becoming the new world champion. As well as showing the past generations that came before that all lead up to Bell’s gen. But i do think Bell is only the world champion while Valt is still the number 1 ranked. Considering the title and rank are no longer connected and to represent the legacy of the original and the rise of the new generation.
Valt representing the original generation as “the number 1 ranked” while Bell represents the rise of the new gen as “world champion”

Small side note: i also agree about the Bell vs Valt match. Bell in the end was stronger in that match. But Like you said before, one loss shouldn't invalidate Valt’s spot as the strongest blader. Especially since being the strongest doesn’t equal being unbeatable and for the series constantly portraying Valt as the strongest. So overall Valt should still be the Number 1 ranked and strongest blader. While bell is Champion.
Top 6 Best Battles (In my Opinion) in DB in 10 Words or less.

6. Basara (Roar Bahamut Pink) Vs. Bell (Perfect Gear Dangerous Belial): Decent Way to end Bell/Basara Rivalry. Too short.

5. Rashad (Greatest Raphael) Vs. Valt (Savior Valkyrie) #2: Intense Battle which showed Valt's Perserverience even in a challenge

4. Lui (Guilty Longinus) Vs. Ilya (Magma Ifrit): Kinda Redeemed DB to be honest. Really good. Ifrit Showcase!

3. Valt (Ultimate Valkyrie) Vs. Rashad (Greatest Raphael): Valt Finally got the revenge he deserved to get.

2. Bell (Perfect Gear Dangerous Belial) Vs. Rashad (Greatest Raphael) #1: Really cool Battle. Almost as good as the Final One.

1. Bell (Perfect Gear Dangerous Belial) Vs. Rashad (Greatest Raphael) #2: Amazing Battle to end the Series. Really showed Bell Development.
