I was going to rank them in pairs but I feel like in some certain cases, one blader did more for his pair than the other. I also decided to throw Wakiya into the mix, I know he isn’t participating but he’s the only other recurring character who isn’t participating so he might as well be included, besides his battles have taken place within the arc so it can be considered his current strength. I may make another one once the series ends or all the battles conclude.
1: Lane: Do I even need to explain this? His Flare and resonance are beyond anything exhibited in the history of burst. He has taken on and annihilated the strongest most experienced bladers in burst history throughout this tournament as well as Hyuga and Hikaru. Truth be told his record is extremely impressive and he doesn’t even really need Shu to succeed. Lane has even shown the capability to take on multiple bladers on level ground and still stomp them on his very own. Lane is arguably not only the best blader in this tournament but the best in burst as a whole.
2: Hikaru is more or less the same as Hyuga but he is smarter which I feel is a big factor for this particular duo. The reason for this is because he is a more rational thinker which is what leads him and his brother to victory- for example: at times Hyuga can’t help but attack on his own but Hikaru is the one who primarily encourages Hyuga to work with him which has rocketed their performance in the tournament as it makes them organized and powerful. Like Hyuga he has flare and it seems to have risen to a level closer to Hyuga’s since the tournament started.
3: Hyuga: Hyuga is an absolute beast of an opponent his utilization of flare instantly gives him a boost over the competition. His raw power and resonance are a bit better than Hikaru’s but I feel like he lacks in intelligence which sets him below Hikaru but doesn’t change the fact that he is tough. He and Hikaru may have had the easiest loss to Lane and Shu but everyone loses to those two anyways so the way I see it, it’s not that big of a deal. After they got annihilated by Valt and Rantaro they fortunately seemed to perform far better. They crushed Aiga and Ranjiro with ease and their battle with Lui and Drum ended with the two getting their beys burst in the face of Hyuga and Hikaru. Even Wakiya couldn’t stand up against the move and ended up losing. Their flare combined with their creative usage of limit break power has made them deadly but their usage of the ultimate tag move “twin strike” is what truly sets them apart from the rest.
4: Shu: I would put Shu and Valt on equal footing but his record with Lane has influenced this decision alongside his immense intelligence. Although Shu hasn’t done much, his strategies and intellectual decisions have proven to be the greatest of all in this tournament even if they aren’t absolutely necessary, such as his world slash and limit break slam combination with Lane or his limit break activation (which evidently wasn’t necessary but still made things easier), he was additionally the first blader to effectively utilize the storm plate and he seems to have mastered it. He also eliminated Free but seeing as Free has been getting tossed throughout this tournament, it doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
5: Valt: Now Valt is in interesting case here. He’s is a fair bit higher than Rantaro simply because he always puts up an intense fight. Even when Rantaro was getting knocked around Valt was there to take on the challenge and Lui and Drum have to really drop in some intense effort to beat him and even the Hyper Tornado/Infinite Buster combination was only enough to knock him out. He also seems to have come up with synchro lightning so there’s that. His record in the tournament is also something I factor in which is why I put him above Lui and Wakiya, even though they (Lui and Drum) win their next match, Valt and Rantaro have still taken on Hyuga and Hikaru and won which gives him an edge over Lui and Drum.
6: Lui: Like Drum, Lui has been absolutely dominating his opponents whether he wins or loses and he really has to be drawn out to be defeated. His raw power has been unrivalled and many beys such as Ragnaruk, Spriggan and Valkyrie have been sent flying back when they tried head on contact at the start of the battle. Apart from this, he seems to be the mastermind and brains behind his duo and he is responsible for all the teams powerful strategies and techniques which has proven him as a formidable opponent. Based on the next episode, he is also going to either create, or mutually invent the powerful friendship boosted Raging Tempest with Drum.
7: Wakiya: Now some people may not like me putting him this high or rather this low but I think it’s perfect. We have to understand that although Wakiya was able to continuously dominate multiple legends as well as Hyuga and Hikaru with his overwhelming defensive capabilities and counter techniques this was also his introduction episode hence, why I am not taking these particular feats with as much regard which is why he is as low as he is (plus one of his opponents was Aiga who is absolutely lacking). Now the one thing that really convinced me that this guy was the real deal was that, when he did lose, he lost by a simple over finish to TWIN STRIKE which is pretty much an insta kill against most tags in this tournament. Wakiya has come a long way and we can see that.
8: Drum: Now Drum is a very interesting one. He and Lui may have one of the lower ended records but they are going to win their next battle anyways so I’ll count it based on what we know. Throughout the tournament Drum has always put up an intense fight regardless of if he won the battle or not and his performance was insane. He was additionally able to access a powerful rainbow aura which should count for something.
9: Ranjiro: Okay so Ranjiro is where the bladers start to get a bit better. He actually puts a good amount of efforts into his battles and was responsible for beating Silas who himself kept going with Ranjiro till the end. He was responsible for their first win and shared equal responsibility with Aiga during their second. The Hyper Tornado Achilles strategy seemed to be his own which would also give him so more credibility. Lastly, in the fight with Lane he seemed to do more then Aiga and even saved him from limit break the end which is nice. He’s above Rantaro because he can actually take a loss while putting up a good fight.
10: Rantaro: Was a tough decision between Rantaro and Aiga but since Rantaro played a major part in both of his wins, I’ll put him above Aiga. Rantaro may have one of the better records in this tournament, I’ll give him that. But one thing we have to take into consideration is the fact that when he loses, he loses badly. Aiga and Ranjiro made him look like a joke and Lui and Drum were dominating him throughout that one sided battle. Still, the record still stands and he has fought nicely even managing to beat Hikaru who is one of the best bladers in this tournament. Valt is a fair bit higher then Rantaro seeing as he actually puts up better fights.$
11: Aiga: I think this one is fairly simple. Aiga hasn’t really done much apart from his performance in the latest episode. It doesn’t seem like he puts up as much of a fight as Ranjiro. His performance in the latest episode is what saved him from being at the dead bottom of this list since him and Ranjiro completely destroyed Valt and Rantaro when they used their double attack.
12: Silas: This is a very similar case to Free, the reason why he is higher is because he took on Lucifer the End on his own and only lost by a spin finish AFTER Shu (a blader who is obviously weaker than Lane) eliminated him Free first, which is pretty crazy. He also knocked both Fafnir and Longinus out so I will give him a slight edge for that one.
13: Free: Ok so you might think I’m being biased since most people know that I’m not a Free fan but just hear me out. Him and Silas have one of the worst records in the tournament. Their battles are always short and concise and they’re only notable battle was the one they had with Lui and Drum where I would say they did equal work, maybe Silas a slight bit more since he knocked both beys out. Generally Free has been getting knocked out quite fast and early throughout his battles in the tournament and it just makes him look like a glass cannon.
refer to this for example.
Poor Free. They did that boy no justice.

Agreed, although I’m not a Free fan I truly did make this list based on what I believe I saw (Rantaro my second fav being low on this list is proof). Even Silas didn’t get let down that badly. I honestly feel like the “everyone gets two wins” route was good. There could then be a huge battle royal or something.

I don't see how honestly. I doubt Free and Silas are going to defeat the bros, and if Valt doesn't get his rightful revenge on Lane by the end I'm not going to be pleased. I'm about ready for this season to just be over already. It's been a huge disappointment. Very underwhelming.

It was not the best season but what can we do.Hope Valt gets his revenge and free and Silas win

Too late on that score. They did Free dirty in that last match and the way Lane has swept through these Legends...I want to be done with this season already. Done with Lane and all the ridiculousness he brings and start anew with season 6. Which I hope against all hope will be good.

Sadly. It's not even funny how superior the manga is. Not even a competition.

I don’t know why you’re getting so heated about it. Lane is a new character so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he can do this.

Just because he's a new character doesn't make it reasonable. These are Blading Legends, and for them to get swept aside like rookies is ridiculous now matter how you slice it.
Hopefully free and Silas get a win and Valt gets a revenge

I highly doubt that If free and sisco win meanwhile valt and rantaro win that means the final is valt and rantaro vs lean and shu

Buying stuff? I think there is a place in Beyblade general. Anyways I would suggest just to start off, get a Storm Pegasus and maybe a Flame Saggitario, both with launchers.
Yeah like buying the video games, DVDs, manga and the actual Blades of Beyblade...

Lane is a rookie to the pro league, that doesn’t mean he can’t be stronger than the rest.

That's what makes it's more ridiculous. Several of the Legends are prodigious bladers and still they had to work to the bone to get where they're at. For him to
be sweepingg them aside is ridiculous. That requires a leap that's too much. For a rookie to plow through prodigious Legends who've been blading for so long doesn't make sense. All the experience, skill, power and prodigious ability is just nothing in the face of this rookie, all because of flare, that Deus Ex Machina if I ever did hear it.

I think the problem is that the writers didnt show lean working too hard to achieve where he is. The amount of time doesnt really matter; its about how one portrays the growth.

That's one of the major problems with it, and it's not like these have been close victories for the most part either. He's annihilated these Blading Legends.
do you agree that legendary bladers have to lose from time to time?
