So, I wanted to ask, does anyone else in the Beyblade community agree with him? Do you agree about Burst, instead of MFB? Or do you think it doesn't work for either? I'm not sure about how I feel, since I suppose I agree with the principal concept, that everyone could beat someone at least once if they battled infinitely, or something, but I also feel like that doesn't necessarily exclude power scaling still? Like, if someone beats someone nine times out of ten, that one doesn't make them any less stronger than the person they're battling.

But, anyways, let me know what you think.

I absolutely agree with this. Fresh from watching G-Rev it's clear they're rather close in power. Max, Ray and Kai all came extremely close to beating him. I was especially impressed by Max with how close he came to defeating Tyson. He did really well in that match. He proved himself to be the Great Wall of the Sea.



Great Wall of the Sea indeed.

So someone isn't a true beyblade fan because they don't agree with you're opinion on Turbo? That a form of gatekeeping which isn't good for any fan community.

No. Anybody would not put Turbo at dead last. That’s honestly a bad look on you. When someone watches Turbo no one could care less about the “writing”. When they watch it they rank it high on entertainment not writing.

It's one of the worst in my opinion but seriously you shouldn't force people to agree with your opinion. Just because someone believes that Cho Z is the worst Burst Season doesn't make them a "Non True Bey Fan" it's just their opinion and if they don't like it then that's okay. I'm not trying to argue with you or anything but this seems extremely unnecessary and something that'll just start fights for no reason at all. Remember to think before you post, think about if your post is worth posting and if it is friendly and respects everyone in the community. Overall this Post was kinda pointless to be honest and it feels like this post is just going to start fights for no reason.

"My whole life I've been surrounded by numbers."

When we first meet Gwyn he's very much living a sheltered life steeped in his very mechanical view of the world. After meeting Dante however, this perfect order begins to unravel. When they battle, instead of shattering as he predicted it would, Dragon came out of the battle intact. It survived. This frustrated the carefully calculated outcome Gwyn envisioned. For the first time his calculations didn't provide the perfectly predictable answer born from the razor sharp precision he was used to achieving. From then on we see the carefully structured shell of predictability he constructed around himself continue to unravel. And he spends the majority of the season trying to maintain it. Maintain his grip on what he believes the world to be.



"Everything in the world can be explained by numbers." 

Again and again the friendship between Dante, Delta and Arman defy this idea. The way they increase each other's strength in battle and the way their support pushes each other forward. The idea that friendship between people can empower them is something that can't be measured or calculated which is something that is non-existent in the perfectly manicured world of numbers and equations that Gwyn created for himself. Which they did a great job visualizing.



When this fundamental aspect to his thought process was challenged, it threw his understanding of the world into chaos. He thought things like friends were a waste of time. Dante was the focal point for this frustration of his worldview and it's for this reason he declared his hatred Dante.



It was only once he understands there is more to the world and to life than the equations he wrapped himself in was he able to find joy in something beyond the mathematical.



He finally understood their was more to life than what he'd been surrounded by in his sheltered existence. Gwyn's arc is a lesson in expanding one's horizons beyond what they're surrounded by. There's much to know beyond what we're accustomed to. Gwyn is a unique antagonist among the pantheon of Beyblade adversaries and a welcome one with clear characterization and depth.

I really enjoyed your breakdown/review for Gywn. I already knew part of this but its good to actually get a deeper understanding of his actual character. Gywn is a very interesting character. I always liked him but i like him even more now that i understand his character more. You did a great job with his character arc. Looking forward to who you do next.
