Tyson VS Kai (2000, First Battle)
This battle showed Tyson that he was weak, and didn't know how to blade well just yet. It's an amazingly short battle. Definitely a statement.

Tyson VS Daichi (G-Revolution, First Battle)
This battle is important. It showed Tyson that he wasn't the strongest still. Even though Tyson won; he learned that the world wasn't done with him.

Tyson VS Ozuma (Final Battle, 2002)
It all comes up to this point. This is the battle to impress Ozuma enough to let the BladeBreakers keep their bits. It's one of Tyson's hardest battles; yet fun to watch!

Tyson VS Kai (G-Revolution)
While they didn't get to clash their G Blades, they certainly had a fun time using the GT Series Beyblades against each other. The battle is amazing....ya know.

Tyson VS Yuriy (2000, Final Battle)
It all comes down to THIS battle. Trapped in a ice dome, Tyson is defeated...but in the next match...he wins the World Championship!

Easily ignored by many but honestly, this battle highlights something that isn't present a lot in V-Force and that being a competent blader who doesn't use a Bit-Beast and Tyson playing on par with Kane doesn't summon Dragoon, it's a rather respectable match, it's quality is shown at the half way point of the match when Kane shows off that he can completely be on the same level as Tyson and at some cases out maneuver him.

While previously shown in the battle with Johnny, Kai can be defeated. When Spencer came to the plate it wasn't completely certain if Kai could beat him. Though the battle was far more than what most expected for Spencer to pull off considering that Spencer completely controlled the match from the get-go. Though personally this battle shines the most in the episode title "Victory in Defeat" as it does show that Kai can handle such a critical defeat.[spoiler]

3 - Rick vs Claude (G-Revolution)
[spoiler]While short and easily forgotten this match highlights Ricks background as well as highlights how far Barthez will go to ruin the image of his opponets. While the match itself was rather interesting to say the least it's also the last time the song "Underdog" is heard. Which does as usual, once again show off how underplayed the Barthez Battalions pure strength was represented.[spoiler]

2 - Ray vs Bryan (2000)
[spoiler]The one thing that made this match so tragic is the soundtrack isn't really lightning, in fact this is one of the few matches where it's morbid at the moment of launch. No lyric needed songs, not much feeling of fortune in the eyes of the enemy. Bryan was (in my opinion) one of the most brutal opponents in the series and the determination of Ray made it hard to watch against a force he can't if at first, even begin to fathom how powerful Bryan was.

While Dungas defeat to Gordo was expected, this match was far more intense then it called for. Since the build up of Zeo training and the sheer victories Ozuma had over Tyson made the odds in favor of Ozuma. Once the battle began to heat up, there was little room for friendly talk. Ozuma was pushed back, the same guy who beat Tyson 3 times, tied to him 1 time, and lost to him once. Was actually forced into a corner. The attitude Zeo possessed made him a threat. The power Ozuma had was enough to make the battle entertaining. The highlight of this match, besides the defeat. Is well all the minor characters discussing it. Most of them can't even begin to fathom how much power either of them possess.

While I do feel Jack is a more lighter version of Rejii replace his sadistic attitude with an obsession with Art. Klaus is ugh. This match while opening up for the American team is rather interesting I do enjoy the slow introduction actually. It's rather nice. Though how desperate Klaus begins to get is where the battle is at it's tragic moment since up to this point, Klaus seemed rather competent and was rather a force to be reconned with (The only member on Ex-Caliber who actually seemed likable in my opinion). Though the clash of Special moves is honestly the most interesting to look at in the series.

The only match with the Brazillian Team I found to be interesting though it's interesting for a different reason and that is how Tsubasas big time to shine for Gan-Gan Galaxy has come. Since the opponents strategy is rather the complete opponent of Tsubasa clean battling. This battles rather good because it's a pure dirty battler vs a purely clean battler.

The struggle here is rather interesting since the build up is rather beautiful since Rejii at this point is rather unknown, how he played is rather unimportant until he used his Dark Move which caught everyone by surprise and for one of Hyomas final battles, it's a rather excellent one since Rejii used time to his advantage as to Hyoma underestimating Rejii.

Bizarre considering we don't see many of the bad guys actually battling it out. While we were cheated out of seeing another excellent battle this set up did show that Ryutaros special move could be ripped apart as well Tobio does have a decent chance of actually being on the same level as Ryuga(At the time) since Ryuga did have to use his special move.

The moment Doji changed the rouster I was cheated from seeing the ONLY battle in Battle Bladers that seemed interesting or that didn't happen after it. So instead of him facing Tsubasa(Which Tsubasa would've lost) he was set up to face Gingka. Though this match up had to much at steak on both ends, if Gingka loses he can no longer play beyblade if Ryutaro loses he will have to face Ryuga and be drained of his power. As the battle heated on it was a head on clash on both ends. Since they both had to give it there all. To me this was the only battle bladers match(Prior to episode 42) that a lot of background and weight to it. While we know who will win. It's a lot to handle since if either one of them lose, they will lose everything.
