WARNING: I AM NOT THE KING OF WRITING STORIES. DON'T EXPECT ALL MY POINTS TO BE SPOT ON
I will return over long periods of time to post these, cause I like doing them
(I'm temporarily returning to post this because this is a large majority of the beyblade fandom so other places would be less seen)
(this is based off the anime)
Aiga, or Aiger Akabane has too be one of the most loved characters: for all the wrong reasons. However how bad was his character development really? lets go over some well known facts first.
1.Aiga uses dark resonance as plot armor to win a VERY wide majority of his battles
2.He starts off with a shaky relationship with Achilles, but soon they improve, a little bit.
3.Chouzetsu has some of the worst power scaling in general based on Aiga alone, other series have been almost perfect. (with a few exceptions for each one)
First I'd like to examine the second point: He does not gain a true bond with Achilles after turbo. In GT when Aiga was beaten ONCE he got angry and activated his full power/resonance. This is bad for 2 reasons: If he really had good development 1 loss shouldn't effect him much, and if Achilles wasn't as strong attack with the amount of power Aiga used could've resulted in cracks, or Achilles Breaking. The other reason ties into my first one: even if Achilles was strong it would've still had some resistance to follow Aiga. But that wouldn't be convenient to the plot would it? We can't waste our time on a Aiga subplot that would've really helped his character in general right?
Another point I want to examine is his likeability. When Turbo started Aiga alone brought in a ton of fans. (and turbo specifically) But why? Why do people like such a flawed character that is unlikeable, due to constant use of plot armor? First would be his hair. When Aiga and Achilles "bond" to go all out (Aiga just pushes Achilles for the most part) his hair stands up and glows red. While that is just a small reason, it looks a dragonball. Lots of kids that like dragonball have a dragon ball character, which is usually goku with his super saiyan hair. I believe this is because the audience likes Large explosions of power, that is used to crush its opponent. And hey, Aiga does that with his plot armor! So Aiga never fails to bring a stupid flashy move before wrecking his opponent with the help of plot armor, And lots of people like that and don't focus on his obviously
flawed character. But if you know he's gonna win 99% of the time where's the fun in that? Another point I'd like to bring up is Aiga clothing and aesthetics. Aiga has a similar look to Valt, with his hair in a bun. However his main color is red, which would usually pop out more that blue (depending on the type of red of course, however red is usually just more eye catching general). A final point would be Achilles, Its a cool guy with a cool sword
that can cause big cracks in the ground, and that's cool.

A final point would be Achilles, Its a cool guy with a cool sword
that can cause big cracks in the ground, and that's cool.
A final smaller point would be other characters. Let's say Aiga was fighting Phi. Phi has broken previous beys, making him out to be a bad character. And with Aiga's other "charms" that I've listed (if you can call them that) along with just wanting the hero to triumph over the villain, lots of people would root for Aiga. And then lets say we face someone like Fubuki. Fubuki doesn't pop out all that much, and defense is boring cause he doesn't move around, So I root for Aiga. And with a returning character like Valt or Free, it would be like well These guys are cool and powerful, however based on Aiga's previous exploitings of plot armor, he will crush them making him more cool
by default. Therefore I will root for Aiga. Stuff like that would just quickly go through an Aiga fans mind, leading them to root for him alot. (besides the exploiting of plot armor part).In conclusion, Aiga is cool and does cool things, and is really strong so he's likeable. And with a lot of kids being brought into Turbo, they wouldn't examine the "finer" parts of his character (look at his flawed character) and Say "hey, Aiga is cool and all but has a pretty bad character" which would lead them to question hey: is Aiga really that good?
ALSO: If you like Aiga that's fine. If you don't like Aiga: that's also ok. this is what I believe, which is that Aiga is a very flawed character. and sorry for bad formating of sentences, notepad doesn't translate too well into a post. and I say a lot of things which would be in the perspective of a Aiga fan without quotations, sorry :P
