Beyblade Burst God Episode #36 (December 4th, 2017)

Holy jeezus... this is now at a point where everything just stopped giving a damn, to the point where we just have to shut up, sit back and just enjoy the insanity that was this episode.

Dear god this episode was so trippy! It is INSANE! Let's get the normal stuff out the way first.

So the Lui vs Red Eye battle was pretty cool, it was fun and epic and feels a lot like the manga battle, minus Spriggan breaking. Then Red Eye was revealed to be Shu (No duh... honestly, if you were surprised, how?), and Valt has a rather understandable reaction, I did expect Valt to react badly to it, but you can see he was confused and probably tried to ignore Shu lying to his friends and tried to friend him, which She seems to reject. Valt vs Lui fight and Lui wins of course in a spectacular finish, leaving Valt really bummed out.

Now... at this point, all we see left is She and his flashbacks, which are nothing short of just complete craziness. If the final part of the episode was a person, they'd need to be restrained in a straightjacket. Well, first of, Shu reminiscent about the times he lost, which included Free (and TBH I expected She to actually beat him, maybe with sR who knows). Then She has really angry fantasies in a similar fashion to Tsubusa, where the opponent is big and is taunting him and She screams and gets pissed off. The colors are so bright and vibrant and all over your face, and that red reflected water he's in is really colourful and almost lava like. Shu meets the masked leader and throws his lS out of anger, bursting it, though I expected it to break lol, considering he smashed it against some rocks.

When the masked leader invites Shu back to this really unrealistic lab (Yeah don't question it, Burst has already switched the direction so radically as it is) with lights and generators which look like they belong in HD Academy or BioVolt,. Shu is in some glass tube attached with some wires and then I guess imagines his perfect beyblade, something which can conquer Longinus and Fafnir in some weird typical fighting monster anime sort of way where he uses a giant axe to slay both the beasts. Then... they show him this giant mirror thing, which shows an even more insane Shu and a Spriggan beast that um... talks... (BSB ep 51 flashbacks anyone). They both metaphorically merge and Shu screams loudly with this weird and kinda creepy squiggly silhouette, it's like Tala's special move pose in G-Rev, only really creepy.

Now that is all and said and done, I thought this episode was HIGHLY entertaining, it is pure insanity and it's just a joy ride, this is also the darkest I've seen a Burst episode so far and I think it's done quite well. It's one of my favorite episodes in the entire Burst franchise, possibly even topping the previous episode... however I don't know if I can recommend this to all Burst fans, the reason being is that Burst was primarily known for being a down to earth and more realistic series, which for the most part this is FAR FAR from. However, if you're willing to ignore that and shut your brain off to enjoy the craziness of this episode, or love the God series regardless, then yeah this episode will be awesome for you! I know it was for me, and I didn't even like the Red Eye arc before.

As for the trailer, HELL YES FREE VS LUI THIS WILL BE AWESOME! Free looks a bit shocked and concerned so hopefully it'll be close! I can see either Lui wins or there is no winner.
