I think that while Drum and Lui are very strong and generally better bladers than Silas in the context of beyblade, we should still keep an open mind. Rantaro managed to burst Valkyrie the one episode where he went all out so it wouldn’t be too far fetched to assume that they could give a boost like that to Silas 🤷‍♂️

That was plot armor at its finest.

In who’s favour?

And are you saying that Triple Twister won't work against metal? Pretty sure free spin works well against anything in the anime context unless you could power through it, probably meaning that Lui would have to use his special move or even combine with Drum, but that may not work either.
The Storm plate magically drained all of Satomb’s stamina? No, Super Tornado did. Anyways Lui can easily power through hurricane with just a raging upper.
So Ragnurak didn't lose all it's stamina either? Satan had the advantage but the storm plate helped Ragnurak survive a tad bit longer, plain and simple. And yes, I'm not saying that Raging Upper can't power through Triple Twister. I'm saying that it may not be that easy.
I hope we see more of a focus on Dragon's bound mode and possibly Free's absorb mode (though probably not in this battle). After that first advertisement for Dragon, bound mode has just been there for a setup which is true, but annoying when he could still use Bound Wing or Double Bound.

Rantaro’s.
Remember how Triple Twister can defect any attacks but if Valt had done Brave Sword on top of Satan's rollers then it would have lost so what chance does Lui have of making Satan burst?

But it wasn’t really plot armour as Valt was the one who was protected by plot in order for him to progress to the semis. It was more like a dramatic effect. Kinda there to shift the focus onto Free and Silas.

A bit of quick thinking saved him which is good on Ranjiro's part. And yeah, Sisco COULD defend against Drum and Lui in some way, but we'll have to see how far the take this. If it's another Sisco focused episode then I have a little bit of hope.
It’s almost like he purposely lined up the attack so after he finished he would hit the Storm plate.
Nah, it's because he was holding Satan back from the storm plate. He didn't line up nothing. But I digress, this will get us nowhere. Again.
ON the topic of this possible battle, what about Free and Drum? Are they just gonna chill off to the side and wait to strike?

Ignoring the fact that Satomb had no stamina yet again.
Rantaro had a huge amount of power to take out Valkyrie it aint plot armour

If he was holding Satomb back from the plate he would be closer to the plate, making for an easy stamina regain. It’s literally that simple.
What was that thing Longinus did on its destroy driver that knocked away Helios and Hyperion?

The fact that Roktavor did that amount of damage is still bs.

Give Rantaro a pass on that one lol. You gotta admit that it wasn’t too bad seeing him finally do something.

Most likely just a simple speed up, but that could become a special move.

Not saying that Satan didn't lose its stamina, I'm saying that Ragnurak had lost its first. The storm plate gave him a boost to overpower Satan. I'm just gonna leave that there.
Carp I totally forgot Satomb could use its Universe driver to drift away

He did the same thing in evolution. It’s a speed up technique that uses the driver gimmick.

I guess but cmon. The only time he bursted Valtryek was manga only lmao.
Longinus bursting is big no no! Fafnir bursting is a big yes yes!

Sort of like drifting on the free-spinning plate on Destroy to speed up and change trajectory.

The boost to overpower Satomb? It didn’t come in contact with Satomb after the Tornado.
How are all of you typing so fast lol

Satomb only got one hit in after that and it had no stamina though. Roktavor lined itself up so it was closer to the plate.
