After letting it sit I don't think I like the direction Khrome is taking all that much. Doesn't meaningfully connect to his progression in season 1 imo. Though on the other hand, I am genuinely interested in a Bird backstory. Since I think his battle with Tsubasa is a flashback from when he was in his hometown, maybe he'll win for once.

SPARKING SWEEP

Im not denying the fact that Aoga trained but it was nothimg compared to valt who in the manga acctually did some insane things like winning a battle with a 50 kg wheel on his back and not realisising that it was even on his back. And I guess Aiga either has plot armor or natural talent compared to Valts inhuman efforts.

Aiga's been described as a natural talent around the time of his debut. Additionally, Aiga was a metal worker before he started beyblading, and metal working is a profession that requires alot of strength and that's in addition to his insane athleticism and endurance. He demonstrated these qualities at the start of his season as we saw him using the forest and the high trees he swang from as a jungle gym, something that Valt was shown struggling with as opposed to Aiga. Valt is obviously still stronger and the number 1 blader in the world and all that but it was clear from his start that Aiga was going to be a strong blader with respectable talent.

Both Valt and Shu were described as natural talents and they both had to train, and train hard to reach the heights they did.
