lol hope you like reading walls of text by me!
Been feeling rather good today really so I might as well open up and actually converse on this subject. Since the anime is always bashed for being for "kids" and is attacked for reasons that have gone easily forgotten. Allow me to say that there ARE messages in this series, some of them are actually pretty heavy and play off of the characters' personality and them falling into it is all justified and you could expect them to be in that situation. Not to mention that there is a huge level of symbolism that is represented in the bey battles (Mostly in the first season really) which makes the charm of the bey battles be as they are. Not to mention this is actually weight in some battles when there is a lot on the line a perfect example is Gingka vs Rytaro during battle bladers.
Since before hand Gingka made a promise to his father that if he loses before he faces ryuga he will quit beyblading while believe it or not he was fighting Dark nebula puppets along the way which honestly did enforce his battle spirit so if he couldn't beat them. His promise comes off as empty, not only that beyblading IS his identity which that lost would completely destroy him. Ryutaro on the other hand after witnessing the defeat of the kumasukae brothers, Tetsuya, and tobio (Assuming he didn't watch Dan and Raikis battle) as well as realizing that he is only a pawn he has come to this nasty reality that in order to save his skin and to change the future he has to defeat Gingka. This not only gives us background on both characters but there reasons for battling actually has something called 'weight' to it. Making both sides having a solid reason to battle.
Another look of messaging in the series of course is the ideal of "blader spirit" to promote the heroic message of the series, sadly Hyoma the one who pretty much bet his spirit on his match is rather....ignored for that reason. Since lolblader spirit is the only message. though considering hyoma was the character who actually acted more on the cautious side this places him in a zone of his bet feeling legitimate since his battle with Rejii not only did he place his blader spirit on the line he was also of course going against the message the series enforced so critically. Showing off that eventually our spirit can be put out and when we enforce it for our victory only to end up in an embarrassing defeat it puts a lot more thought on Hyoma. also considering he shows up again a few times and he doesn't say a word about blader spirit it's of course shown that he himself pretty much loyal to that bet....Wait a minuteIi talked about this before....oh, oh well. nothing wrong with repeating I suppose...
symbolism is shown mostly in the first season, I ain't talkin bout the facebolt creatures or there special moves but actually the combination of how the creature as well as the beyblade work as one. A prime example is the opening shot of the battle between Storm Pegasis and Storm Capricorn and as Blader DJ said. "Two bursts of wind, two storms clashing" almost as if the fusion wheels had a ability taken into consideration.
Don't really need to discuss how dark bull is shown off as it is, same as killer gemious and gravity pursues, and killer befawl. It's rather interesting since the combos and how they are set up are taken into deeper thought and you can actually see the understanding of how they are. While you can make the argument of how the designs reflect off of the design off the character such as Gingka, Chi-yun , Masamuna, etc... As of course those are simple looks to the character and easy to read off of.
So I honestly don't understand how this series gets so much dislike when there are things like stated previously that of course aren't to bad really, though I think of it as a rather interesting anime...can't say the same for Metal Fury ....found that to be boring honestly.
