Alright time to review the episode:

Alright so round 2 starts and Drum actually uses the Gran layer. Fumiya starts the battle with an aggressive launch using the Rise's ring driver for attack, I guess this is their answer to create the new Nothing/Absorb Breaker, making Rise a giant Fusion, it's pretty neat. Since he did, Fafnir smashes into Dragon pretty hard and knocks it around. Eventually Dragon is able to recover and gives Fafnir a lot of hits, there's this really cool moment where Dragon smashes into Fafnir rapidly, clips of it hitting each other rapidly cycling through and it's awesome! Both knock each other back and crash against the wall, the Gran layer sliding safety from bursting since it's... well rounded, but Fafnir on the other hand has it's rubber rub against the wall and bursts itself, which is awesome since I've always wanted them to address this weakness of the Fafnir series (besides maybe Geist Fafnir). So yeah, Fumiya loses, sheesh, only like three episodes after his debut (short episodes too by the way) and Fafnir already loses, he didn't even get to burst anyone else yet.

Drum wins and as a result and makes his club a lot more popular, with people crowding outside the clubhouse. Oh and by the way, when Valt checks out the news of Drum winning, Drums face on the photo was absolutely hilarious! Amane trains alone until he is helped by the uncle. Amane later comes back looking worn out wanting to battle Drum and their battle ends in a cliffhanger.

Overall I enjoyed this episode a lot more than the last one as it was just more interesting to me. I think this episode along with the last one really shows that the lower duration doesn't do it much favours though, the two episodes actually just feel like one regular burst episode. Still, it was an enjoyable one and I would definitely give it a watch.

It's not that bad though fumiya isn't showcase invincible like the shu , free ,lui and phi type of characters so it's fine , plus fumiya was overconfident kind which got the better of himself. Now some people may be a bit irritated that fafnir got that early L specially knowing it's history.

100% this.

And I think I was correct when I stated that people weren't happy about Fafnir's loss because some still relate it to Free, as if Drum actually beat Free, he didn't. He just beat a Fafnir beyblade, that's it.

Exactly I don't see why some people have a problem with it like you said drum beat fumiya who happen to have a fafnir not free even fafnir got an excuse since it's not the fafnir we know but a completelydifferent one. Even if some get mad that fafnir lost its not like this is the same fafnir that free owns In fact so far it's not the same wF isn't an evolution of Geist but instead just another fafnir like buster xcalibur (from the anime perspective). So both free and original fafnir didn't get an L at all lol. Fumiya and his fafnir got that L

The episodes are subbed. Just check them out on watchcartoononline or download them. You can literally watch all the episodes in 6 minutes. You can be used to one character and appreciate another. Ever heard of legacy characters: Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

LIke I said earlier, I don't watch GT because I feel it's a boring series at it's current arc. I might hop in the next episode where Valt  introduces the 1st arc.

You mean second arc....right? We're in the first arc.

Correct, I usually skip the 1st arc every series.

Why? You have to learn about the characters, battles and hints of future storylines. Shows need a pilot in order to be convinced to be greenlit.

Because I don't want to spend 1-7 episodes of characters introduction I can watch the yt vid of recapping easily. Instead of watching a 12 min anime.

(May. 12, 2019  4:49 PM)Jinbee Wrote: Watching earlier episodes, especially the first episodes are normally there so you don't get confused about certain plot details in later episodes and sets the series for you. The first episodes are normally the more important ones as they introduce certain plot elements that'll be explored further later on. Yeah, you could just watch recaps but recaps might not always cut it, some recap videos could very well miss out on certain details too.

Sure, it's no Muteki Blader (which is a badass song that, if you removed the chants of beyblade, burst, go shoot and spinning metaphors you'd have a song that capture the essence of all ranked play for anything. But where's the fun in that?) or Evolution Burst! (Which is just a straight-up feel good song) but it's just too fun.
Also the part with Valt is like "What's a World Champion before a god? But enough of all that, let's have some fun!"

As for the episodes: Fumiya is a jerk straight-up. Hoping to demoralize Victories and utterly humiliate Drum (while indirectly damaging the image of BC Sol) because of his tryhard beliefs on blading is the act of real scum. I was as pissed as Ichiko was. Episode 5 was alright otherwise and had some good humor moments.

Episode 6: Not totally sure what Drum was thinking by using the Ace Base (makes sense as he's most comfortable with it and Fumiya never fought him seriously that time but given what was at stake, that wasn't the best time "to see what works") and I can't entirely say I liked how Grand drummed up that win even though it was well explained but I'm glad they won.
Also, as of this episode, Dragon is probably my favorite character. He's always pretty chill during his convos with Drum but this ep gave him a more calm-sage feel in their discussion. He wants to win and be strong too but he also wants Drum to figure it out naturally.

Next episode: Valt hype.
