I'm really happy with how this episode turned out. It was obvious that savior would break but at least it didn't go without putting up a fight. Rashad probably has the record now for most special moves used for a single bey In Burst. Who else thought of Ranzo's hair after Rashad unleashed his new special move, Greatest Spear I think what it was. Kinda weird that an angel beyblade is going around breaking beys. You could see the frustration in Valt's face after the match. He probably realized that he pushed Valkyrie way too hard and thus got his bey broken. Rashad felt the same way too. He was sad and angry at Valt because he still looks up to Valt and Valt's battling style is bad. (Not my words, it's his) Bell was obviously very worried for Valt and wanted to get revenge for him but the referee called it a match. He'll soon realize that he'll need the gears to beat Rashad.
Like I said Valt needed Shu the most at a time like this and he sure enough came back. I was so happy to see Valt and Shu sitting in their old training camp.

Now I wanted to talk more about next week's preview because there's a lot going on in that short 25 second preview. We finally get a Valt vs Shu 1v1. Man it's been so long, I think the last time we got a 1v1 with them was back in Evolution. The sparking one doesn't count Because that whole battle was all about sheer power which was also cool in its own rights. But this time, we're getting an actual battle with strategy and all that stuff. I hope it's not like boom boom boom and Ultimate Valkyrie wins within 1 minute for it's debut match. I still want Shu to have the 3rd overdrive bey. Anyways that little preview is basically telling us to get ready for a lot of nostalgia. Rashad also looks happy for some reason and here's my take on it. The battle between Valt and Shu was broadcasted and Rashad saw it and it made him so happy that Valt is back on track and battling it out like he should be. He's just glad to see Valt stand up again.

Rashad still doesn't seem like a full villain at all to me and you get it why. It could have been that Rashad was trying to help Valt snap out of it by breaking his bey. It could've been so many different things. You could clearly see that there was no joy in his face even after he won. Anyway, great episode. I wanted to see the reaction on Bell's face when he saw shu again because last time Shu left an impression in Bell's heart. But we'll probably get that next week.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention that after a millennium we're finally getting a new launch form of Valt. I hope it's a combination of all of his previous launch forms. Nevertheless Beyblade Burst is blessing us with a hype episode next week after such an devastating ending with this one.

Also Rashad wasn't trying to break Valtryek. He acutally wishes Valt battled him with Valtryek undamaged.

I'll just leave Rashad's actual dialogue to build up on your point. 

" This is not the Victory I wanted"
"You are responsible for the breaking of Valkyrie "
"Is this your way of beyblade?!"

I have to agree with Rashad here. Valt pushed Valkyrie despite knowing that Valkryie was damaged. I think that those words really reminded Valt of what he had done i.e neglected his bey in order to win against Rashad. That is the reason why Valt was so distraught with his loss. ( unlike when he battled Aiga)

At the end of Rashad's tirade against Valt ( when he says "Is this your way of beyblade?!"), I noticed that the voice actor has portrayed the emotion of Rashad very subtly. From the dialogue I shared above as well as listening to his words carefully, I noticed that Rashad's tone in the last statement is that of hurt and disappointment in his Idol.

I just noticed this cool thing, and I decided to share it.

Agreed. VAs are top notch. But still I cannot figure out if Rashad is voiced by THE DAISUKE ONO because Daisuki Ono is not listed anywhere. Or is it Daisuke Ono? Can someone confirm?
