Skilled Bladers from all over the globe were chosen to compete in the Champion's Challenge Tournament, including Valt's fellow BC Sol Blader, Kit Lopez.
So Kit appears right after Aiger? I better see Aiger's height is taller than Kit's as years passed now between Turbo and QuadStrike.
A return of Toko and Nika will make sense too as the twins are close with Aiger and Kit. Or maybe Naru and her family at Aiger's house?

One of the visuals of Bell in the music video make me believe that they'll go the Akaba Farm sometime this season, based on the visual's background. It's possible since Xhaka's arc took place at his family's dojo. If we do have an episode where they go to the farm, it's possible that we could see Aiga's family again, though I wouldn't get my hopes up since none of them appeared in the visit in Sparking, and none of the rememberable people from Xhaka's dojo even appeared in his arc this season.
We’re not going to talk about how Pri is using Elemental Power in battle for the first time? And based off the preview, she’s kinda working Kitt.

We don't really get much of sense of who's winning but it's cool that we're getting a glimpse of two wind elemental beys using their element against each other.

Precisely. but I think that Pri is winning because she got both her special moves off of Knight with no punishment and is stopping it’s dive move. Hopefully we get to see the other Pandoras form their own element.

I think Kitt might win, compared to Pri, Kitt has more experience with controlling wind since based on what we've seen before he can use it both defensively, offensively, and with more creativity. Compared to Pri who is just shown generating high winds not really controlling it like Kitt. Plus so far Pri can barely defeat the lower half of the Legend ranks, while Kitt despite not being a legend has trained at bc sol with 5 Different blading legends and was shown to be able to go toe to toe with Valt and Aiga in the past and has only gotten stronger since.
I hope both Bel and Pri beat Kit. Dunno how Bel will accomplish that(Bel might have to outpower him before him before he can go airborn), but with Pri has the better chance.

Considering that ep 18 is titled "Darkness Unleashed! Winds of Change!" I'm gonna guess Pri beat Air Knight somehow. And I agree, Bel won't be able to beat Kit if he gets in the air; he has a history of losing to stamina types(despite him being witty even to play on it's disadvantages to beat Ranzo in the past). So beating him by burst or ringout is Bel's best bet.

Agree. Kit is too good with how he uses wind in battle. He can probably ride the winds of the twister pandora generates as well. Kit may be a side character but he's no slouch. It's part of why Aiger lost the first time he faced him, I sense a similar fate for Bel and Pri.

Fair, but you forgot about base stats. As of now, Twister still has high AP and defense. It also has Twister Break, which could create the high speeds needed to escape and break through Knights attacks and defenses. And Pri is the better strategist and if things get real, she can just switch to Attack type Tidal Pandora which has More speed, power and overall AP than Tidal. now that I think of it, do you think that’s there’s an element counter system, like fire beating wind or lightning beating water, one akin to the type triangle?

True, Kit is really underrated. BC Sol bladers are cut from a different cloth than the rest of the blading world but then again it's literally a club of the world's best bladers. No wonder Valt leads the team.

It's so satisfying to see that given how much they worked to make BC Sol what it is today.

100% Agree, in hindsight it is very satisfying to see Valt go from a beginner to leader of the team of the world's best bladers. You go back to s1 and watch Valt train so hard while keeping his passion and joy for the game and his friends alive and strong. He earned the place and status he holds in the blading world today.

He worked so hard to reach the top of the blading world to become the best blader in the world all the while working with the rest of BC Sol to make BC Sol the best team there is. Seeing the results of all that hard work is just such a good culmination of these characters efforts and determination. Valt and BC Sol deserve to stand at the top of the blading world and it's great to see that is exactly the case.

Im sorry but you are heavily underestimating Kitt here. He is one of the smartest bladers there is and he’s proven it multiple times, he defeated Aiga in a way he had zero ways to counter, was one of the first if not the first blader to figure out the weakness of the choz wings, and almost defeated Valt. So far none of Pri’s strategies have worked and have been countered. Also to add we dont even know what Wind Knight is fully capable of besides its stronger than before. Lastly type match ups aren’t everything as again Kitt was on the verge of beating Valt and did defeat Aiga who was on the offense. Kitt is a smart and powerful blader that should not be underestimated.

Not bad. But what I am saying is that Knight is vulnerable to fast moves as those can ignore the drag of Knight’s whirlwinds. Doing that will win a free hit on Knight and depending on how Pri plays this she can seriously damage Knight as shown in the preview. One thing to also note is that wind dive attacks are especially weak to offensive or defensive resistance. Like Knight bursting to Turbo Valkyrie Slash, Or being knocked away by Cho-z shield. Or Garuda being sent flying by Roller defense. From the preview, we see that Knight is being stopped by Pandora’s own wind. And it’s important to note that Knight has no impressive offense or defense without it’s wind, while Twister stopped Comet Strike head on, and has sent beys flying or has even bursted them with Twister Break. I definitely think Kitt can win if he wastes enough of Pandora’s stamina, but if forced into a head on collision he might really struggle. Just look at the preview. Knight was getting knocked around before the clash.
The Japanese title has been added. The Japanese to English translation is "Knight of the Wind, Wind Knight!!".
Good episode. Kit's meeting with Bel is funny but I can say Dante's meeting with Bel was funnier.
But a bit disappointed Dante and the Hizashi Brothers not participating in the tournament. Valt and Aiger seem like will take part in some courses if look back in the next episode's preview.
Aiger defending Pri from Pax is my favorite part of this episode.
I'll rate this 65/100.
Episode 15 review
overall this episode was pretty decent in my opinion, as it definitely felt….quick like we jumped around way too fast. But i guess that makes sense when the tournament doesn't have that much competition besides kitt. I loved a lot of the characters this episode besides a few being pax and Bell. Bell seemed a bit more annoying than usual but still hes Bell so its kinda expected and pax, he has been annoying me for the last few episodes. Like Pax wants to constantly blame Pri and talk about how good his Creations are (the pandoras) yet like Aiga said hes not the one battling he’s sitting in his chair giving orders, this shows that Pax doesn’t understand blading and what it means to bladers. Plus spoiler his creations haven't been living up to the expectations like hes said, this also shows that he severely underestimates the worlds bladers around him. I like how Aiga stood up for Pri. Now for the battles, not much to really say kitt is still clever as ever with his knight flyer as he easily defeated Bell, but Pri was also cool as well as she stopped Knight flyer by taking its stamina, now thats smart, but it doesn't end there, the moment Kitt powered up he easily defeated Pri which proves that hes gotten way stronger and is High A rank for sure. This battle shows why Kitt is a member of BC Sol and puts his training to the test.
Decent episode but it kinda felt all over the place with he pacing. Bel being as mischevious as ever in this one was kind of annoying tbh, they spend more time making Bell act foolish then they do having him improve his skills or train. Makes him look like a joke compared to the other bladers in this season like Pri whom has been shown as a far more competent and well rounded than Bel whom just dives head first into all his battles with no plan or counter.
Kitt's introduction was kinda funny with how he dragged Bel around but the character interactions overall where meh. The battles as expected were a W for Kitt. I was a bit disappointed in Bel's performance, ngl. But at least he didn't get bursted. Pri on the other hand got bursted but did better than Bel as she was able to edge a point off Kitt with her strategy, however this caused issues between her and Pax when she ultimated lost via burst that Aiga confronted Pax on(best part of the episode might've been Aiga standing up for Pri here).
Bel getting himself disqualified from the tournament due to his shennanigans with Wakiya is unnecessary imo, like I get it's a sideplot or something and Bel's still gonna be in tournament at the end of the day but with that being the case why remove him at all? I'm not interrested in this side plot, means more shenannigans from Bel.. but like I said Bel will still face Aiga and probably Kitt again so it's not that big a deal. All and all I'd give this episode a 6.5 or 7 out of 10.
Not a bad episode but last week's was better. Kitt's return was nice, none of the characters that returned in the prior episodes seem like they'll be in the tournament. Kind of a shame but it is what it is. As for the battles, Bel's was honestly just horrible. They just reused the way Aiga lost to Kitt the first time they battled with Bel, lazy. Made neither of them look good and the battle was a waste. Kitt and Pri was the real fight. One of Pri's strats actual worked here, for the first round. But then Kitt caught her off guard by just straight up going offensive and literally one shot Pri, even I underestimated Kitt if he can just blitz her like that(I wasn't expecting him to go offensive, I Thought he'd just use the wind and some denfensive plays to win most of his battles), Kitt is clearly both brains and brawn. Decent episode but not the best. 5 or 6 out of 10.
This episode wasn't bad but it didn't thrill me either, it really did feel like padding and it seems there's a quite a bit more of this to come. Hopefully the succeeding episodes will be more consequential. I did like seeing Kit again though and I thought Aiger's interaction with Pax and sticking up for Pri on her behalf was great stuff. All around a decent episode but ultimately not much was accomplished when it came to the tournament arc but, depending on what happens next, was a good tent pole for Pri's character arc
We’re got some character interactions this episode, and Pri actually used Elemental Power in a meaningful way this battle. But pacing was too fast as. Pri is still a bit weak to have serious narrative relevance. If she’s getting stomped by Non Legends without a clash then she’s going to need a major power up in this tournament to keep up with the power creep.
