I know Ragnuruk says “just for jokes” but I happen to think that it’s evolution line is pretty good. Now I am a bit biased since Rantaro is king in my world and rising roktavor was my first bey ever, but let me explain.
The first version, I think of dual layers as the blueprints of Beyblade since they had no actual abilities, but were a fresh start to the beys we know today, really shows what ragnaruk parts were meant for later on. The layer nailed the design, just not so much of a circle rather than a big 2 flaming blades. The disc, heavy, was one of the best stamina discs and discs overall for dual layers and single layers and survive had the signature cone shape of a driver that ragnaruk has always had. The best stamina drivers ever are coned shaped: never, bearing, revolve, eternal, Xtend+…
The 1st evolution had the amazing driver revolve along with an insane stamina disc that was compact gravity and the layer was nice as well.
Berserk Ragnarok came with the cool driver flugel, the 4 disc which can be used on attack combos struggling with burst resistance at the time since there were no dash drivers, the infamous cross frame, and the good layer.
The 3rd evolution, like many in turbo like winning Valkryie and bloody Longinus, was severely disappointing. Crash ragnaruk struggled with burst resistance, and at the time dash drivers were extremely hard to come by. The disc was useless, reach was decent, and the driver wedge had some mixed opinions. I hate this evo the most since it is the evolution that really brought Ragnarok the hate it has today and doesn’t deserve, and the King Rantaro got ripped off. Ranjiro’s fine and all, but I liked him better in sparking where he had his own bey and didnt completely replace the king when doing so.
Gt we don’t talk about…
Sparking came with the infamous revolve driver, the cool chip, the insane 1S and wheel combo, the glide ring that works insanely well and Paris up with 2A or 2S. I liked sparking for the anime more than turbo, but obviously less than the first 2 seasons because it actually featured rantaro while having ranjiro in the back. Practically everyone was cursing on how bad glide as, but everyone bought the bey cause of its competetive value. Who’s saying glides bad now when wheel and 1S is practically in every 1 of 3 sparking combos that are good?
6th season was really good for the bey since the disc was really competitive as was the driver. The stock combo is basically unbeatable against the dB releases as of now. This evolution should remind people that ragnaruk doesn’t derisive it’s hate, and now that the stock is basically the best in the dB line up, it beats guilty roar and astral by LAD, beats up savior and astral by same spin, and even perfect belial with all those upgrades loses to it via stamina, people show how down to rantaro as I do.
RANTARO AND RAGNAROK FOREVER!
