Valt Aoi: Character Arc Breakdown: To Reach Infinity...



Arc Breakdown Part 1: To Reach Infinity...Conquer Doubt.

Obstacles are often likened to mountains for a number of reasons; the problems in front of us seem impossible to scale or extraordinarily difficult to get to the other side of, just as it's hard to pass through a mountain with no opening, or scale over one that dwarfs even skyscrapers. Both obstacles are external, but one of the most challenging obstacles to overcome lies not just without but also within. For Valt, that obstacle was self doubt. It was the conquest of this mountain, among other major hurdles, that led him to become the blader that now sits atop the Blading World.



Valt's character theme is potential, the ability to become all manner of things in the future. In order to reach infinity. The only way forward to fulfill his seemingly limitless potential, was to scale his doubt. 



On his journey to the top of the Blading world, Valt often found himself measured as less than capable by his competition. They underestimated him. Sadly this external output caused an internal struggle, and this is something Valt deals with across his two seasons as the MC in a variety of scenarios.



Time after time he kept running into this obstacle and time after time it really took hold of him and impeded his progress. He faced this from one of his earlier competitors, Wakiya who callously stated his opinion that Valt didn't have what it took to become a great blader. Words that Valt took to heart. It blinded his vision and halted his progress.

"Sad but true not everybody is cut out to be a great blader."



This had a real world effect on his ability to blade. His self doubt, triggered by this external source caused a problem within that shifted things without. 



During the team battle arc he again began to question his ability and worth. This was further compounded by Lui, Japan's No. 1 Blader, when he made clear his belief that Valt was a terrible blader.



We see this in S2 during the shake up at BC Sol and their mounting losses.



You're a terrible blader, you're not cut out for this, you're out of your league. All that constant noise left Valt deaf to what was actually important, his goals, his ambitions, his relationship with Valtreyk and blind to his own value and abilities.



By the time he reached the end of the International Bladers Cup, All the noise has fallen away, and the only thing he hears is Valtreyk. That ringing in his ear that he was out of place had been silenced as he stood before Shu at the finals, one step away from his goal. 



Even as Shu tells him to give in, that it's already decided, Valt stands resolute, no longer a victim of doubt, but standing on real confidence that he acquired over the course of his journey. He wasn't the same boy who crumbled, lost himself when people fanned the flames of doubt in his head or when others watered the seeds of misgivings growing in his mind. 



To think, that this boy, who had been crippled by self doubt would become a legit Legend in the Blading world, the Legend of Legends. He worked hard for each milestone, earned every single victory on his way to becoming the strongest blader in the world.



It was only through refocusing his vision on what was actually important, by building real confidence not only in himself, but in his own abilities, by letting the noise fall away, was he able to move forward. Only through conquering doubt could he reach infinity.

Character Arc Breakdown: Part 2: To Reach Infinity...Walk Your Chosen Road.



Throughout Burst we've come across many powerful characters; Lui, Free, other members of the Big Five and Shu being prime examples. Each of these bladers made their own choices on how they were going to go about achieving their goals and each of them achieved a great deal of blading prowess in return. And it was in that mass of competing ideals that Valt struggled.



After witnessing Shu, and then Free's losses to Lui Shirosagi and experiencing the same loss himself, Valt began to question the direction he was taking to reach his goals. In essence he was in conflict with himself as to whether he should walk his own road or that of the others who had grown so powerful through their own style of blading, through their chosen road.



Raul remarked that the only way forward to greater power, to true dominance in the Blading world required one to give up the things one used to think we're important, to put emotions away, even if that meant seeming cold-hearted and distant, that it was the only way.



It wasn't the only way, that was Shu's way. That's what he decided to do when he threw away the joy he got from Blading to gain greater power, to reach this level of perfectionism he established for himself.



In order to reach the level of Blading people like Shu had achieved, Valt began shifting his approach to Blading out of a frustrated desire to be a challenge to Shu. This attempt untimely didn't yield results and affected his Blading negatively. Why? Because it was the polar opposite of Valt's nature and his natural path.



Valt came to realize he didn't have to pursue that path, that he had all the tools to decide for himself how he was going to move forward as a person to achieve his goals. He didn't need to mimic anyone else's way.



Kris puts it perfectly. "Over the course of this tournament I've reflected on who Valt really is inside. He's truly one of a kind, that's the tyoe of blader I want to put my hopes in. I always learn new things from him. When he beat Cuza he showed us that winning isn't everything. Having fun with your friends is important. With his enthusiasm, good sportsmanship and free spirit he's taught me that the journey to becoming the best is about more than skill and strength. That's why Valt deserves to go to the final and triumph over Shu."



He could chart his own course, something Free reminded him of. He learned he didn't have to throw away the things that made him who he was in order to achieve his goals and dreams, that he could achieve real power, free from corruption or doubt. He didn't have to rely on the opinions and ways of others to determine who he was going to be. He could decide for himself.



He could continue to be who he was, to continue to draw on everything he learned, every obstacle inside and out he overcame to reach his potential.



Valt's character theme is potential, and he had to overcome his own self doubt, and win his battle with his own identity to reach the top of the blading world, to fulfill his seemingly limitless potential, to finally reach infinity.

Nice character breakdown! Valt is such an iconic character. Even though Valt did let people bring him down, he rose out of it. I think it would be cool if we had a Beyblade protagonist who straight up ignores people who ridicules or doubt him from the very beginning.

A perfect breakdown for Valt. Thats what I like about him, he was a blader who would never give up and would constantly push forward to achieve his goals. And through those efforts Valt now stands at the top of the blading world as the “Legend of Legends”and strongest in the world.

Note: also in the corocoro they do give Valt an alternative title being “the King of legends”. Which fits perfectly especially when Valt sits at the top of the legend rankings and was sitting on a throne in the manga.

Iconic is the perfect word. He truly is. I love how that's treated in the Blading World. He's not only the strongest blader on the planet, but he's also the most admired and respected, and none of it would have happened had he not conquered his doubt and decided for himself who he was going to be.

Can't wait to see new anime dawg. finna be dope I hope

Xander one shotted Bell. Lane bursts Belial and Pandora simultaneously just by Lucifer’s air pressure alone. Flare bursts from a distance.

Let's talk about something positive; So would anyone like to share their favorite Beyblade memory or moment? For me personally(even tho it's kinda morbid)Ryuga death is still one of my top 5 or 3 Beyblade moments. And Yu beating Gingka, Yu was one of if not my favorite Metal characters so it was nice to see him beat Gingka.

Easily Aiga vs Phi. That battle was immaculate.

Valt's victory over Shu at the international bladers cup. It was the culmination of everything the show had been building to since S1 E1. Valt became the strongest blader in the world by conquering his greatest rival. Such an awesome moment.

Honorable mentions:

Hikaru & Rantaro vs Lui and Drum
Lain vs Hikaru and Hyuga
Bell vs Rashad(this battle was still kinda "meh" overall)

Turbo had so many battles with godly animation. Aiga vs Hyde and Shu vs Phi were bangers too.

I would Say....Valt Vs Shu in the Finals of Burst God. It was an amazing battle between two of the best characters in the series. Like this battle was set up all the way back in season 1. So seeing the rivalry between Valt and Shu have an epic conclusion was amazing. Especially since this was the last challenge for Valt to become the best Blader in the world and having it be against Shu made it even better.

Another one is Valt/Rantaro VS Shu/Lane, this battle was another great one. This battle gives the same/similar vibes from the finals in Burst God. Plus it was so good to see Valt beat lane and show everyone why he's the "Legend of legends".

I was glad when we got Valt/Rantaro VS Shu/Lane, it wasn't a 1 v 1 so Valt could properly avenge the prior loss but Valt still came out on top and finally got to put Lane in his place.

Another one is Valt/Rantaro VS Shu/Lane, this battle was another great one. This battle gives the same/similar vibes from the finals in Burst God. Plus it was so good to see Valt beat lane and show everyone why he's the "Legend of legends".

I was glad when we got Valt/Rantaro VS Shu/Lane, it wasn't a 1 v 1 so Valt could properly avenge the prior loss but Valt still came out on top and finally got to put Lane in his place.

If Valt and Lane had another 1 vs 1 Valt would most likely win.

Let's talk about something positive; So would anyone like to share their favorite Beyblade memory or moment? For me personally(even tho it's kinda morbid)Ryuga death is still one of my top 5 or 3 Beyblade moments. And Yu beating Gingka, Yu was one of if not my favorite Metal characters so it was nice to see him beat Gingka.

This isn't my absolute favorite beyblade battle.. or moment even, but I do remember it vividly because I watched the battle when the episode aired; Ken vs Lui in episode 45 of Burst. Ken fought his heart out in that one and it was admirable as heck. I knew he wasn't gonna win but you gotta respect his determination and spirit in that fight. Sometimes it's the smaller more overlooked battles that shine the brightest and I feel like this is definitely one of them.

Agreed.

I would Say....Valt Vs Shu in the Finals of Burst God. It was an amazing battle between two of the best characters in the series. Like this battle was set up all the way back in season 1. So seeing the rivalry between Valt and Shu have an epic conclusion was amazing. Especially since this was the last challenge for Valt to become the best Blader in the world and having it be against Shu made it even better.

Yea,it was so good to finally see lane getting taken down especially by Valt. Also when Rantaro called for Valt, the look on lane's face, he knew he was done for.

My thoughts on every season of burst:
Beyblade Burst (Season 1)

Spoiler (Click to View)

This was the season that started it all and even though I can see some people saying the season is too simple that what I enjoy about it the most. It was back when Burst was simple just kids blading and having fun. Introduce us to Valt, Shu, Lui, and etc. The beys were iconic with Victory Valkyrie, Wild Wyvern, Storm Spriggan and etc. It was a good start and even though the pacing and season can sometimes be boring overall it was a really good start.

Beyblade Burst God/Evolution (Season 2)

Spoiler (Click to View)

This imo is the best season of burst. It had the best beys arguably the best story and introduced more popular characters: Free, Silas, and etc. Valt arc throughout this season was fantastic and Shu dark arc was truly iconic and made the season memorable. The beys were also fantastic from Nightmare Longinus to Spriggan Requiem it was overall great. The god beys gimmicks were super cool and even though not all were good they were creative. I’ll admit some episodes were kinda mid and some characters were pretty annoying (Jousha) but it was overall the strongest season of burst if you ask me.

Beyblade Burst Cho Z/Turbo (Season 3)

Spoiler (Click to View)

This is a season that divided a lot of people but I actually thought this season was a good mess. Aiga was a character that I originally hated and for good reason (He was kinda of a a-hole). But it was all part of his  arc and I liked the idea of dark resonance. Valt was in this season and to be honest wasn’t in it a whole lot still I did like what they tried to do with the story. I was also a big fan of how there were a lot of new characters but a lot of them were wasted. And for returning characters once again most of them were wasted. The Cho Z beys were fantastic tho from Cho Z Valkyrie to Revive Phoenix this season rocked and the beys having metal was a good next step for burst. Overall a season with a lot of problems but despite the criticism I still liked it (plus some of my favorite burst beys came from this season).

Beyblade Burst GT/Rise (Season 4)

Spoiler (Click to View)

This season was honestly not as bad as I thought it used to be.
Granted a lot of the story and some parts feel lazy and just copies off Cho Z, but I think there was some great character development. Delta character change I thought was done pretty good and especially Amane that was some good development. I also liked the whole message about working together but the villains really took me out of this one. Gwyn and Arthur were boring as hell villains that didn’t do much for me at all as characters and just as villains in general. The beys were also kinda of mixed for me. Gt started with beys like Slash Valkyrie and Wizard Fafnir and I didn’t like them that much. But then the beys got better with releases like Judgement Joker and Lord Spriggan. But then to me the beys got too bulky with Imperial Dragon and Master Diabolos. So this season had some ups and some downs.

Beyblade Burst Sparking/SuperKing (Season 5)

Spoiler (Click to View)

Garbage just absolute garbage (at least in terms of anime).
The anime was just terrible the protags Hyuga and Hikaru were horrible didn’t get any development and the legends were treated like trash. Lain is the most annoying a** character in this history of Beyblade always screaming “Take on my flare!”. The beys  were an entire different story though. There were so many good releases in sparking like Super Hyperion, Brave Valkyrie, Rage Longinus it was great. Granted there were some mid releases like Lucifer The End but overall as for the beys one of my favorite seasons but for the anime “ugh”.

Beyblade Burst DB/Quad Drive (Season 6)

Spoiler (Click to View)

Anime is a mess felt like the writers had no idea what they wanted to do. Legends here were all bad except for Valt who was actually used in the season the rest were nothing. The new characters here were okay but only some really were nice like Basara. Bell as the Mc was alright but to be entirely honest felt kinda the same with some new flare. Way better the the two stupid twins tho. The beys this season were good but a downgrade from Sparking despite this there were still good beys like Ultimate Valkyrie, Astral Spriggan, and Guilty Longinus. Overall a good season for products. Anime wise a step up from Sparking but not by much.

Beyblade Burst QuadStrike (Season 7)

Spoiler (Click to View)

So far this season has been alright. The beys are hasbro beys and I really dislike that as all the gimmick from BU beys were taken away (uhgggg). Still though the actual anime is okay but      
at this point Burst is past it’s prime and the heart of the original season for the most part is kinda dead. Every episode feels the same with things barely progressing and the elemental story has not reached its full potential. To be fair tho the season isn’t over yet so things will most likely get more interesting (hopefully). Maybe once the season ends my opinion will change but  so far not looking good…

That’s a wrap.

Though not my absolute favorite battle, Dante vs Arthur's rematch is one of the best battles in Beyblade. The directing, the animation, and the stakes. All great. Really underrated.

I know this definitely won’t happen but imagine after Quadstrike out of nowhere Hasbro reveals a season 8 of burst lol

I could see some fans letting out a collective groan if that were to happen lol. I love Burst so I wouldn't be complaining.

To me it would depend on the story and beys. If it were a complete new system and not just the Qs system again and the beys actually looked good plus the story is good then I wouldn’t mind
