People really need to start remembering when they're in a thread for a specific quadstrike episode and not the normal quadstrike thread or random anime thoughts.

Hyuga stomped them.
That's not accurate
Bruh why are people posting on this thread so much? We still have episode 10 and 11 to go.

Barely knocking them out while using Valt’s power while also being completely exhausted after isnt a stomp. Plus Free and Lui would still beat Hyuga more times than not (no hyuga hate). On top of that Both Free and Lui have increased their training since their last encounter with Bell. So they are way stronger than before.
Yeah, I guess you're right.

I take Illya and Bashara.
The episode should debut on Hulu this Monday (May 8th).
Will Bel, Pri, & Hyuga will have a battle royale somewhere in Battle Island?
Episode was released early episode 11 too.
This is where the plot gets intense. Pax begins his move to the battle island, and great to see his past of his injured arm, he seems angry Valt didn't know him. Wakiya has suspicions about Pax. The funny moments of Bel and with Hizashi brothers, Cool to see Bell beat Hyuga. But damn, Quadra summons a typhoon kind of Jutsu on Hikaru and Helios with Twister Pandora.
From the episode 13 preview, it's pretty clear Bel teamed up with Quadra. I feel worried for the fate of Valt and Ranzo if the two team up in the tag team...
10/10 for Episode 12.
Finally Qudra/Pri gets a win for the first time in a long while. Glad that she and Hikaru are even with each having bursted the other, Bel and Hyuga continuing their own lil rivalry is nice to watch too, I had a feeling those two red heads would compete with each other.
It's nice to know what Elemental Power actually does now and even better to know Pax's backstory as that implies his motivations in the present.
Unexpected double episode. That means my Saturday is gonna be empty...
Anyway, it's great to see Hikaru again. watching him in action again reminded me just how dirty they did him in Sparking. They seem to be overplaying his love for heroes though but that's okay.
I also like Wakiya actually TRYING to put some reigns on Bell this time because seriously, enough of his antics. His whole beef with Rashad only really became a thing because he has no respect for the rules placed. This is putting the whole fact that Rashad was kind of an elitist jerk when plot demanded it aside.
And the most pleasant surprise was Pax having some actual depth aside from being obviously shady. That momentary backstory drop was brief but the table that has been setup brings some heavy impact.
Episode 12 Review
This episode was pretty decent, still liked the episode though. So this Episode continues with the Battle Camp from the previous episode, and the bladers on the island are still doing events to train themselves and battle. Hyuga and Bell still continue their rivalry which is entertaining to see and Pri is still a bit down from her previous lose to Hikaru. Overall the episode has a similar premise to the previous episode as its mainly filled with small challenges and races that lead up to other bladers challenging each other. But what adds to the episode and makes it interesting is Pax finally showing himself to the rest of the cast and this is where we get a bit of history on him. Pax is a bit of a fan of Valt as he watched him vs Shu all the way back in burst God, but not only that Pax also tried to enter the God Bladers Cup (international bladers cup) but couldn't due to his arm injury (why do all the bladers in God injure there arms) but even then i dont think he could have especially when looking at the competition being the Top 10 bladers in the world at that point. He also believes he could have been Valts rival and a Legend.
Now for the battles, just like last episode Hyuga and Bell were basically evenly matched for the entire battle going head to head but unlike last time Bell takes the win with a burst winning 2-0. I kind of hope this continues with Hyuga and Bell both getting wins every time they battle because of their rivalry and how they are mainly evenly matched. This is also the Debut for Twister Pandora and the battle where Pri almost effortlessly defeats Hikaru. But im hoping Hyuga and Hikaru can make a come back either in teams or singles.
Overall a pretty solid episode
One of the better episodes so far, the training scenes were nice, Bel getting left on an island as punishment was hilarious but his escape was something else lol(team rocket vibes).
I gotta get it off my chest that I was totally annoyed with Hannah's rudeness towards Bel when explaining why Pax came to the battle camp, it was brief but completely uncalled for and she needs to stop getting on Bel's case every 3 seconds like she's his nanny. Honestly wish Hannah wasn't in QuadStrike along with her brother because Hannah really isn't serving any good purpose being here, she's just annoying.
Apart from that the plot is cooking with a bit Pax's backstory shown, guessing he wanted to be in the finals against Shu or Valt but his injury prevented that, wonder if this will manifest into some sort of animosity towards Valt and the others.. the battles where neat and Bel and Pri got great wins over the Brothers which they definitely needed after getting wrecked at the dojo by Xander for the last 3 episodes.
Pri looked like she was honestly having fun blading, even chuckling positively towards Bel when he wanted to battle twister pandora next, I hope this is incorporated into the plot in a way where it's Pri learning to have fun blading while her brother tries to streer her away from that by reminding her of their goal and it can possibly divide them over it but I won't speculate to crazily about where the plot might go, I'm just glad Pri is enjoying herslef more while blading with Bel and company.
Overall not a bad episode at all. 8.5 or 9 out of 10.
Guess we could say that Bell and Pri are(barely) Legend level considering their feats against the Asahi brothers.

Bell... is debatable, Pri is still coming up so not yet. By the end of DB Bell wasn't really a legend/legend level if we're being honest. He just finally beat Rashad in a solo battle, all the major events in DB that shape and define the MC's journey were failed efforts on Bel's part; he lost in the airship tour and got his bey destroyed, he sat out the world youth tournament letting Rashad Basara and Ilya climb the blading ranks, wasn't able to lead his team against Rashad's in the last match of that competition with his team losing it as well. He only really succeeded in the end of his season when he finally dethroned the high king(which imo isn't a legend making feat). Maybe by the end of QuadStrike he'll have some respectable accomplishments worthy of making him a legend.

I get what you mean w/Bell, but we should remember just how easily Pri dropped Hikaru. She effortlessly takes the center, holds it even when Helios uses it's Stellar Launch, tanks Komet Strike, Counters w/Twister Break, which knocks the resonance out of Helios and leaves it wavering, and then one shots it with Twister Whip.And she managed to summon a tornado mid battle which is a strong Resonance feat. Pri won with mid, if not low difficulty against someone w/Legendary feats, which is why I'd say she's a bottom of the barrel Legend lvl blader.
