Like someone mentioned, the battle in episode 43 was awesome. In Metal Fusion, he's okay, I didn't mind him there.

In Season 2, he was pretty funny, I didn't mind that he never got an upgrade too much since Kenta and Kyoya never did anyway. Not to mention he was cool and even got to be a World Champion representative, and was a total boss against the annoying as all hell Garcia twins.

Season 3 was probably my least favourite version if only because I hated how unfocused he was compared to the rest of the cast... including former newcomer Masamune. And this is something I hated in Sagas after the classic ones, is that original main characters either get noticeably less focus like Benkei or just disappear later on mostly like Wakiya, Daina and especially Kensuke. I also never liked that Benkei never got a 4D beyblade, I mean you don't need him to be a legendary blader, I don't expect that to happen (even if it does suck all four original main characters except Benkei got to be a Four Season blader), I would've loved a Bull 4D upgrade, even if it wasn't a legendary blader, something like Blitz Unicorno proves that. There was no Aquila or Libra upgrade either which also sucks.

I liked that Benkei got a more prominent role in Zero G, I wish he had a Zero G Bull beyblade of his own to perhaps train with Zero (which I did a concept on), but I do like his more mentor role here, as well as acting as a decent comic relief. This was probably my favourite Benkei, it's just a shame Zero G never lasted as long to enjoy it more.

So I think Benkei is alright overall, I don't listen to the general consensus if I don't agree, TV Tropes isn't gospel after all. That said, I find the Garcias, especially Enzo and Selen FAR worse than Benkei could ever be.

I thought he was great in season 1 and fine in season 2. Its season 3 where he was just kinda there as backup. Not entirely useless since Johannes had a tone of backup, but still.

I actually dont like him. He takes toxic to another level in my opinion

He barely won any games for BC Sol, got Valt and Rantaro in major trouble without getting the facts straight, and after the Royals battle, he does jack. Everyone gets stronger instead of him, Cuza joins, and now he's upset for not being chosen on the main roster, and he still throws a pitter patty instead of asking him whether or not he screwed up. Sure he has that final battle with Valt, but never flat out apologizes to him. Then when he leaves, he beats Jango and boasts he's gonna win just cuz of Xhaka and Ruwei. And he still lost to Rickson, proving all his bravado false. He ended the way he start, a prideful hamburger no one wanted to eat but thought everyone wanted to buy, and stayed rotten battle wise while barely changing his personality meat.

Weird thought. What character in any saga of Beyblade has been criminally underutilized?  I say Sora.

Some are well thought out, like Spryzen and Valtryek, but I feel as if Beys like Noctemis and Yegdrion ended up horribly designed

I like Y2's avatar...btw,you're talking about the anime's tN or the avatar that appears in the BeyTerminal and in Hasbro's app? if it's the one in the anime,I agree,it looks very weird

Yes, some of the anime avatars look a little off?? Honestly Yegdrion isnt 100% terrible, but I noticed that the animators didnt seem to have a lot of ideas (I ran into people who say that Yegdrion looks like Torterra from Pokémon)

Yegdrion's fine. It looks like Torterra, but I never saw that as a bad thing and I love the lasers it employs. I just wish it had a damn special move! Nemesis is fine, but I'm not sure what the beast is originating from.

Nemesis is based on the Greek Goddess of Revenge (named Nemesis), although Im not sure why the BitBeast resembles a reptilian/dragon-like creature

yea nemesis is a goddess from Greek mythology i don't understan what the did with its avatar/bitbeast an the anime,  even the game has a different version of it which is a black knight/demon with a hammer.

Aw, that seems better to be honest. I really like Twin Noctemis as a Bey in its entirety, but I cant treat it 100% seriously because of the BitBeasts. Wished the anime used the alternate version

I agreed at 100 % the black knight version actually looks cool meanwhile the lizard whatever it's supposed to be sucks.

Yeah, it does look pretty sucky. Even as I found the full content of what its supposed to be, I cant seem to treat it seriously. I know they tried, but I think we have enough reptilian-like BitBeasts

Not gonna lie; I actually laughed at your response. I am not downright bashing in any way, but Im just gonna say Id give kudos for the color scheme. I just really like Twin Noctemis’s colors
