Hey guys, saw this on some website about the CX line & a theory by someone:
Since Arc 2 is leaning more on the elements of MFB such as:
The Star Chips representing Beypoints which could potentially lead to a “Battle Bladers”-like arc at the end.
A 4-person team (only Team Persona so far) that references the 4-person teams from MFB Explosion.
The Constellation of Pegasus that was shown in the teaser chapter for Arc 2 and Team Zodiac referencing the constellations.
ED 2 “Cosmic Treat” emphasizing the space theme for Arc 2.
I predict that the writers will use the idea of successorship for Arc 2. Back in MFB, one of the themes that was presented in the anime was successorship.
Here are some examples:
Storm Pegasus being based on the original design of Galaxy Pegasus.
Gravity Perseus being based on the original design of Variares.
By applying that same successorship to Dran and Hawk specifically:
Dran Sword (Cobalt Ver.) is based on Cobalt Drake.
Strike Hawk is based on Crimson Garuda.
Notice that there is a pattern with these 4 beys in particular. Dran Sword and Strike Hawk are both 3-shaped blades while Cobalt Drake and Crimson Garuda are both 4-shaped blades in their design. Not only that, Dran and Drake are both blue dragons while Hawk and Garuda are birds with different shades of red- enforcing the idea of successorship. Phoenix could be a separate successor to Garuda as well.
In the beginning of Arc 2, there was a teaser of this mysterious dragon that looked very mythical but he believe that it’s the Dran avatar which leads to the next point.
With CX beys being the next line for Beyblade X, so he theorize that Team Persona’s CX beys won’t be just mere variants, these beys will have an avatar transformation to reflect a higher level of successorship- still maintaining the idea of Variants that Beyblade X has established. Some avatars will be fused while some aren’t. The naming convention for the CX beys should be “Avatar/Title” to connect the idea of successorship and the CX system will be somewhat similar to the Synchrome System from Zero-G by changing Gear Chips. Burn will also play a huge role in helping creating the CX system with Multi since he did envision the mysterious dragon and the unknown “X” (as evident in episode 55) that could be linked to the next evolution of Bey Time Shift.
Here are the potential names for the Persona CX beys:
- Dran Emperor (will be based on BX-39’s Gaia Dragoon homage bey this time).
- Hawk Reaper (a fusion of the Hells avatar and Hawk).
- Mage Battler (a fusion of Wizard and Knight based on these 2 beys’ designs).
- Samurai Warrior
With the introduction of Tenka Shiroboshi as the 4th member of Team Persona, some Persona beys had to be fused (as in the case of Multi’s beys) to make room for her line of Samurai beys in the future. Bird’s CX bey is fused because it maintains the identity of Hells through the aesthetic of the blade and the title being “Reaper” while Hawk is the new and reborn avatar shown in the Gear Chip to keep its successorship with Garuda.
To go even deeper with Hells and Hawk: in accordance with mythology and symbolism, a Hawk is generally associated with the Grim Reaper of Death due to having some similarities with the mythological figure such as having a very sharp eyesight, a predatory nature, and the connection to the Earth’s sky that can be symbolized as the afterlife which is then personified by the Grim Reaper. This could hint that Hawk will be reborn with the help of Hells (Incendio) by taking its place as the new avatar and receiving the title of “Reaper” as the successor to Hells as well as Garuda.
Some other names he have came up with for the other CX beys are:
- Shark Predator
- Leon King
- Wyvern Guard
- Phoenix Immortal
- Tyranno Rex
- Shinobi Assassin
- Ghost Phantom
For the Burst homage CX beys:
- Heroic Valkyr (Valkyrie)
- Notorious Spriggan
- Dangerous Ragnarok (Ragnaruk)
- Tenacious Cerberus (Kerbeus)
- Righteous Longinus
he decided to go with adjectives for the Burst homage beys because when switching the Gear Chip from Heroic Valkyr to Dran Emperor, it will become “Heroic Emperor” and when switching the Gear Chip from Dran Emperor to Heroic Valkyr, it will become “Dran Valkyr”- as reference to the Synchrome System.
Plus Team Persona’s CX beys aren’t just Variants- they are the true successors of what came before as a prediction, but since there are no BX line Beys that still continue or finish, we don't know, if Takara Tomy or Hasbro are going to make the homage bey of the Golden Yellow Dragon like Gaia (Strata) Dragoon & Thief Zirago (Girago) maybe someone might make it in the future?
