Takara Tomy Beyblade Burst - Upcoming Release & Rumor Thread

I really dig the idea of attachments for belial based off each bey. Can't help but think belial is gonna look like a mess with all of them attached but hey it might be a really good bey.

Final thing: It looks like there's a straight up picture of Fafnir on the picture we have but I haven't seen a spread of Fafnir itself yet which is really weird. Maybe we'll just have to wait until TT themselves show off Fafnir

Well, I did see the leak and from what we can tell, it looks almost exactly like Bahamut. Also, in modern times Bahamut is actually depicted as a bipedal dragon unlike its previous depiction as a mash up so it does make sense. Arabian mythology also sometimes refers to Bahamut as a dragon. It’s another one of those things that varies in context like the appearance of the devil or angels and such.

There is no straight up picture of Fafnir. It is also in a silhouette. The bey that is on that page is actually belial with all the upgrade parts. Fafnir will be shown in next months corocoro
Can someone tell the haters the reason why is Bahamut

Because... TT felt like it? And Basara starts with a B? Not really something to be so hung up on.
Also, there are some very unclear pictures of the new Fafnir in the CoroCoro, just to touch on what Vtryuga said
I find it petty people are against Bahamut/ Balkesh being the bey. I mean when was the last time a good guy even had one? Oh wait never, this makes it even more unique

People are against it because we (I would include myself amongst these people) are sick of old beys constantly getting evolutions all while taking away chances at new, or at the very least, uncommon motifs. The beys are losing their excitement factor and it’s starting to get really boring. Another Ragnaruk, Fafnir and Bahamut wow, I wonder what they’ll do 😐
Here’s my thoughts. The motif doesn’t really matter (except for Achilles) because in the end it’s going to be a bey and the icon shouldn’t really matter (again unless it’s Achilles)

Yeah, it should be and other and the colour is not purple, Bahamut is in purple colour.
All I have to say is that BAHAMUT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BEYS AND I AM SO EXCITED AND IT IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST EVER ENTIRE RANDOM BOOSTER I BUY! In all serious though, we should be happy about getting bahamut because that means we will get a gimmick. hopefully...

Lucky for you, people mad at taking away chances at new, or at the very least, uncommon motifs and lose their excitement factor and it’s starting to get really boring.
Okay Basaras bey looks just like bahamut
Y'know, thinking back to that Beyblade Election from the tail end of last year, why include Valkyrie, Spriggan, Loginus and Fafnir in the poll if they were going to make their DB upgrades anyway? I mean besides to generate more hype. To be fair, I suppose it would avoid spoiling what's going to be released in DB but it just feels a bit misleading in hindsight now haha.

Were kids scared that they'll never see Valt or Valkyrie again? Because they're not going away until Burst ends, Valt is the title character after all and would never leave the series unless Burst gets cancelled as a whole.

I think if they had excluded those four beys from the poll (the beys that will get evolutions anyway), then we might've received a new Xcalibur this season as that came 2nd place (behind Valkyrie).
CONFIRMED RELEASE SCHEDULE
May - Fafnir
June - Basara’s Bey (Counter Clockwise Defense) (Bahamut is 99% likely)
July - Valkyrie
August - Spriggan
September - Longinus
Honestly  if basara gets bahamut it ls what it is althought i thought they would actually giving something new bahamut doesnt look like it fit him, some People complains about wanting new motif well i'll give you the unfortunate reality of business even if theirs was a new motif it would ve slap an old gimmick on the bey And called it a Day the manage to have core gimmicks that always work their not going to throw it away anytime soon .   I'm use to those things beyblade isnt my only hobby i have other hobby that the keep spammimg the same until the get tired of it. Thats this doesn’t surprise me its called business. I said before as long as its burst era they beys will keep coming back with or without their original owner
It feels really weird that Bahamut would get a potential third release, but Satan only gets two. From how I see it, Satan is a more prominent line, or should be based on the anime. Boa isn't that major of a character in God, and most certainly not Blind either. Bahamut has never had a solo release for it's stock combo. It's an interesting choice, and the Bahamut silhouette looks very cool. Again, assuming this is Bahamut at all, as so many signs point that it is.

I really hope Fafnir actually has something NEW. My issue with the Fafnir line after Geist Fafnir (which actually had a new idea for it's spin steal gimmick) is that it feels like it's just the exact same rubber gimmick with no other innovations. It feels like TT's mentality was "We'll just recycle the same gimmicks, but make them in new, non cross-compatible layer system so people still need to buy the new one" lately. And don't give me the excuse that "The layer rings are toooooo small for more gimmicks", the 'World' sparking ring, 'Dread' and 'Heaven' GT base would like a word with you. Address the issue of Fafnir having trouble against other left spinners by having it free spin against left spin, like the Ratchet disk, or the Jet ring (reverse at least).

I'm guessing Fafnir will use that DB system which switches upper and lower mode to do that "spin steal" and "non spin steal" mode change.
I legit cannot see how Fafnir has a non spin steal mode when the silhouetted Blade evolution piece is clearly very exposed.

I think he’s referring to the high and low mid changes.

Yeah, that's the one I mean haha. I assume TT wants to take advantage of the new system to incorporate that mode switch, somehow.

Making a gimmick something for Fafnir is a little hard to manage due to spin steal. If you make something like Jet for Fafnir there’s a decent chance that it will be free spin on both right and left (in fact even Jet has difficulty with seeing fixed blade against right spin) and this is just due to the nature of such gimmicks (also ratchet works because it isn’t a contact point). As for something like Geist I could see that happening if they are willing to cut on rubber (in fact anything’s possible if they cut on rubber, but let’s face it TT’s not going to do that especially with Mirage). Drivers gimmicks are up for grabs though.

I hope that everything after Longinus turns out to be new. Was anticipating a mostly new line but was kinda bummed to find out about all the returning beys tbh. Lack of new motifs is really underwhelming and I just can’t help but get sick with the never ending return of all these Longinus and Ragnaruk beys etc.  I guess an old bey getting some attention wouldn’t be as bad though.
Bro, I am on your side, screw that Bahamut.

Another Longinus spear and other Spriggan.
So, Belial's DLC has officially been confirmed to be Belial stealing what was left of Brave Valkyrie, Mirage Fafnir, Rage Longinus and World Spriggan after they were destroyed. 

At this rate I'm officially convinced that Season 6 is officially gonna be the end of Beyblade Burst, with Belial being the "Ultimate Challenge" who will go up against those who have survived until the very end (Valkyrie, Spriggan, Ragnaruk, Longinus, Fafnir, Bahamut).

If it's stealing parts from beys that we've already seen, then it's possible that we could make relatively accurate guesses as to what the different upgrade pieces will be.

Here's the thing, it appears that the attachments for Belial are part of the stock DB combos of Fafnir, Valkyrie, Spriggan, and Longinus respectively, so this part of your post doesn't quite check out.

I suppose I should note that I'm not against the idea of Bahamut. Dread Bahamut was one of my favorite GT releases, I just think that a new character part of the main crew would have a bey that's also new. Now clearly there's some arguments against that because Ragnaruk has 3 users but I just don't think Bahamut fits Basara. I guess it doesn't matter, though. I just hope it's gimmick is interesting
