RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Phantom legend - Oct. 25, 2022 (Welp 4 day late reply on lane but eh) Imo i feel like Lane wasn't handled the best here and there. Like he had a pretty solid set up (base foundation) with his high potential from his flare and Shu wanting to train him because of this. Lane definitely had a good start up as we see him training with Shu (aka the second best/strongest blader in the world) learning how to hone his skills to become a better and stronger blader that can go toe to toe with legends. But the thing i really don’t like about lane is how it doesn't feel like he’s strategically planning out what he wants to do or has a game plan. When lane battles it usually feels one sided as Variant wall or LBTE usually gives him a automatic win and even when hes backed against the wall for the majority of a battle he somehow finds a way to win by just using one of those 2 moves (ex: Lui vs lane. Lui was crushing lucifer against the wall with its full force and was pushing it around the entire stadium). Lane does feel powerful but powerful in the wrong way (hopefully that makes sense) like some to most of his wins just dont feel earned as he either gets caught in the corner for a majority of the battle and just wins or just one-siding the whole battle and the thing is for most of the time we dont see him train just sit there looking down on others. Do i dislike lane? No hes a pretty decent antagonist imo thats just me view on lane though.

Would you agree that some of the battles Lain wins are just because he's stronger than his opponent?

Yes yes i can, but against the legends no. They are called legends because they are the strongest bladers in the world and lane was swatting them like flies and even when he was backed against the wall he would just scream Variant wall or LBTE and win despite having the odds against him. Yes i know comebacks exist but lanes comebacks dont feel clever or earned it just feels like they need to make him win.(Oct. 25, 2022 3:04 AM)Phantom legend Wrote: (Welp 4 day late reply on lane but eh) Examples Lui vs lane: Lui had the upper hand the entire battle as he was pushing lucifer around the entire stadium and crushed them between Longinus and the wall with extreme force yet lucifer wins with a burst because variant wall. Battle royal A: Lane literally tanked the power of 4 bladers (3 being legends and hikaru) and simply won by screaming variant wall knocking out all 4 without a challenge. Valt vs Lane: throughout the entire series up to that point the entire goal was to remove the barrier from lucifer because when the barrier was removed they became “Defenseless” as the barrier was its greatest strength and Valkyrie did just that as they sent Lucifer flying in 1 hit breaking the barrier. But nope Lucifer is still strong as ever and is somehow even stronger despite having lost the barrier and it's stamina and wins with Variant disaster. These were were the best 3 i could remember atm. Lanes wins really don't feel earned to me really but that's just me. I know (think) you have a different outlook on him.

Even i'll say that's a botched battle. The rest are okay imo. Also Lain is stronger than some of them like Silas. RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - God Dragruler - Oct. 26, 2022 The Lui vs Lain and the battle Royal was bad that i agree. i think the Valt vs Lain was actually ok cause the keep focusing in the barrier is Lucifer strenght once its down urs defenless but thats the thing the Legends and us just assune Lain would be defenless we never asume Lain also knew that weaknness an simply trained to cover that weakness i mean shu give Valt the weakness and lui knew it after a few blow from him but lain most likely cover that weakness prior which came up as a surprised to everyone look what happen when after Lain showed variant disaster he was Now truely defenless cause Now the know he got to forms. Its like when The focus on Phi everyone was like its armor is what makes him a threat (which was true) but it turns out he can still fight without to much of an issue you know why cause he knew that one day someone Would breakthrough. The only bladers that had a weakness that lost was both Arthur and Gwynn their weaknness was lethal to the point Gwynn made that armor (which Again had a fatal weakness cause their was almost no way to stop it) RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Phantom legend - Oct. 26, 2022 (Oct. 26, 2022 4:14 PM)God Dragruler Wrote: The Lui vs Lain and the battle Royal was bad that i agree. i think the Valt vs Lain was actually ok cause the keep focusing in the barrier is Lucifer strenght once its down urs defenless but thats the thing the Legends and us just assune Lain would be defenless we never asume Lain also knew that weaknness an simply trained to cover that weakness i mean shu give Valt the weakness and lui knew it after a few blow from him but lain most likely cover that weakness prior which came up as a surprised to everyone look what happen when after Lain showed variant disaster he was Now truely defenless cause Now the know he got to forms.

I'm not going to say Valt vs Lane was all that bad(since it was still a good battle) but it still bugs me. Like Phi with the armor is a good example but the thing about phi was that it was shown pretty early (all the way back in its debut battle against aiga) that it could battle even without the use of the armor so we had some idea of what it was capable of with and without the armor. But lane just feels a bit different ya know? Lane throughout the entire season up to that point Only depended on the barrier and there was never any indication that it could battle without the barrier or not be in the danger zone when its down. (unlike Phi which again was shown in his debut battle and other battles) One example being the battle against Aiga and Hikaru, When lucifer was destabilized and losing stamina Aiga with enough force was able to take Lucifer out, Yet in the battle with Valt: Lucifer without the barrier (defenseless) and huge loss of stamina (because the barrier depends on stamina) was going head to head with Valkyrie with zero issue and was somehow even stronger. That part just doesn't make the most sense to me especially since the round before Lane clearly looked stressed/worried when Valkyrie was directly aiming lucifer for the final clash. I completely agree that lane could have taken notice and trained to work on this weakness but the thing is we never see him train (after his lessons with shu) and we've see him quite a bit. Anytime we see lane (at least in the first half) he's usually just standing alone with harry or mocking and threatening other bladers. we dont see him trying to improve or anything hes usually just there watching and silently judging. But again this is my opinion no arguing here this is just my outlook on lane.

The only bladers that had a weakness that lost was both Arthur and Gwynn their weaknness was lethal to the point Gwynn made that armor (which Again had a fatal weakness cause their was almost no way to stop it) Not going to lie, Lui vs Lain was a prime example of one person knowing all the strength's and weaknesses of the other person. But the other person didn't know anything about the other person. Lain had a lot of information about Lui before the battle. Whereas for Lui not only did he not know about Lain's existence but he also never knew about Lain's bey. In fact other than Shu, no one has ever seen a bey like Lain's in the history of well..Beyblade. I'm pretty sure if anyone had to battle Lain at that time they would most likely get defeated and unfortunately Lui was that one guy. This is what Lain said before the last round against Lui: "Strategy, technique, analysis, and sheer Blading ability. I'm superior to you in all aspects and I'll make that perfectly clear!"

You can see after Lain went coo-coo in the third round that his Flare grew to the point where it was physically pushing Valt back. His Flare most likely powered him up big time, that's why he kept going toe to toe against Valt. Also about the Variant Disaster do you think he planned on using that move before the battle? Isn't that how it works in Beyblade unless your Bey awakens mid battle.

I'm not going to say Valt vs Lane was all that bad(since it was still a good battle) but it still bugs me. Like Phi with the armor is a good example but the thing about phi was that it was shown pretty early (all the way back in its debut battle against aiga) that it could battle even without the use of the armor so we had some idea of what it was capable of with and without the armor.

In later episodes the blades were at full length as soon as Valt called for the move, I'm thinking (this is purely head canon) that perhaps the difference in power output was a result of Valt and Ultimate's growing strength. ![]() RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Phantom legend - Nov. 05, 2022 (Nov. 05, 2022 4:53 PM)Admiral W Wrote:Tbh I do think thats the case. Because again when Valt used USV for the first time the blades where pretty small but when they clashed the blades grew bigger as Valt used more power, and over time the blades only grew bigger so i think it did symbolize Valt’s and Valkyrie’s growing strength. Plus i believe From what Hiro mentioned Valt does represent infinite potential so it makes sense he would only grow stronger and the blades seem to be visual evidence of that growing potential.(Nov. 05, 2022 12:48 AM)Phantom legend Wrote: There's a cool detail I noticed about Ultimate Valkyrie.

RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - TeamRocketDJJ - Nov. 06, 2022 It looks like the final four episodes of Beyblade Burst QuadDrive will be showing! RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Phantom legend - Nov. 07, 2022 Considering burst is over when I re-read and rewatch it there are a couple details that i actually didn’t noticed and originally overlooked. Some might be fun little details that might be a “oh cool i didnt notice” and “well already knew but still cool” And one of those details come from 2 of the antagonist themselves taught by the top 2 legends (bladers) Rashad and Lane alomg with Valt and Shu themselves with a couple extra (possibly). 1. Valt and Shu both have a similar character arc in sparking and DB As in Sparking Shu wanted to help and teach lane with the assistance of Valt and in DB Valt wanted to help and teach rashad with the assistance of Shu. Both Legends wanted to teach their students their true way of Blading and were both there for each other when the other needed it. 2. Rashad and Lane were both Valt and Shu’s top students and through their training both students claimed the rankings of their mentors. As Rashad became Rank 1 replacing Valt and Lane became Rank 2 replacing Shu. Also Valt with Rashad and Shu with Lane both held the respective Ranks of the teams they represented As Bc sol is Rank 1 (Valt and Rashad) while the raging bulls is rank 2 (Shu and Lane) 3. Both students lost their ranks through their mentors. As both Valt and Shu reclaimed their spots as the No.1 And No.2 rank. But if Valt and Shu never reclaimed their rankings then Rashad and Lane would be the worlds top 2 bladers replacing their teachers. 4. Despite both losing to their mentors it took the protagonist to make them realize that their ways of blading was a negative influence on them and the people around them. 5. This one is more opposite Lane at the beginning never fully respected Shu until the end of Sparking where he finally understands him. While Rashad at the start respected Valt but slowly lost that respect for him as he becomes the High king. Also how Lane was only about himself at the start but slowly opened up While Rashad was open at the start but slowly became more self centered. I just find it interesting how both Rashad and Lane are similar to each other and their mentors and how they also differ from each other as well.

Will repost] RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Admiral W - Nov. 10, 2022 Shu Kurenai: Character Arc Breakdown: The Double Edged Sword of Perfectionism ![]() Perfectionism is defined as a refusal to accept any standard short of perfection. This quality can be both an alley and an unseen enemy and more often than not it proves to be the latter, and in the case of Shu Kurenai, it proved to be both. ![]() We see Shu's clear ambition and desire for perfection as early as S1. He trained tirelessly, worked at his blading almost endlessly, a lot of his work done in solitude. While this constant drive for perfection helped him enormously in really progressing him in his blading, it also proved to be a trap. Several characters commented on Shu's obsession with growing stronger, Valt, Wakiya, Rantaro etc....He even expressed that it was his life's mission to grow stronger truly revealing his all encompassing desire for strength, for perfection. This obsession moved him to continue battling even while injured, to return even stronger after his defeat at Lui's hands in their first battle, and it helped to move him onto the international stage. It's also unfortunately positioned him to be manipulated. ![]() His loss to Free De La Hoya, who was at the time, the world's top blader, his second loss to Lui, both these humbling defeats acted almost like a mirror to Shu, revealing his imperfections as a blader. ![]() It was at this time of maximum vulnerability that he received an offer, a chance to grow to the level of strength, of perfection that he always sought. It came at a cost, it required him to leave the life he led before behind. ![]() It was Shu's desire for perfection in blading that led him to this choice, to accept the offer, to walk right into Ashtem's arms and later the requiem project. ![]() While his ambition and perfectionism brought him to almost unbelievable levels of prowess, it also led him down truly darker paths. One of season 2's major themes dealt with how one chooses to go about reaching their goals, the path they choose to take towards the end result. When heedless ambitions drives how we reach our desired destination, our pursuits can easily become joyless. Season 2 reminds us that it is possible to be driven and yet not loose ourselves to our goals. It also cautions us about what seeking perfection, and giving into unchecked ambition can lead to as seen through Shu's character arc. ![]() We see in Turbo and beyond that Shu has come to know all to well the ultimate futility in seeking something to an all consuming degree. He even mentioned to Valt in QuadDrive that before, he believed that rest and anytime spent renewing was wasting precious time a thought process he has since abandoned. Since Season 2 he's come to realise the deficiency in such a tireless pursuit of perfection. Perfectionism is a double edged sword, one Shu learned to abandon. As a result he achieved true power and learned the joy of balance in embracing one's passion in a healthy fashion.

And it's finally here. BEYBLADE. BURST. QuadStrike. This forum ain't dying anytime soon 😤 Real talk now: 1. Bell's back ofc because yk divine Belial.. But I'M SUPER GLAD TO SEE VALT! I MISSED HIM SO MUCH AND I'M PRETTY SURE Y'ALL DID TOO! 2. If the animation follows the toyline, then we'll most definitely see all the protagonists back in action but unfortunately there may not be any Lui or Free. We're also gonna see Lane and Shu the iconic duo (aside from valt and Shu) towards the end. 3. There probably won't be any japanese dub version but that's fine. I'm pretty sure we all want anything that's new at this point. This is the last last season of Burst. So let us enjoy every bit of it untlil the end. And I'm back ✌️ RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Phantom legend - Dec. 01, 2022 (Dec. 01, 2022 8:27 PM)Cath Wrote: https://youtu.be/xjFQsmXbed0It is a dub version though?

RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Admiral W - Dec. 01, 2022 I'm honestly floored but excited at the same time. Perhaps this go around they can really wrap Burst on a high note and of course I'm over the moon to see Valt back in action again. I'm looking forward to this. This will also be the first time since Valt that a Burst protagonist has gotten a second season. |
