Spoiler (Click to View)

I might get a lot of hate for this but... I did not like the first chapter. So Aiga lives and works at a farm, which is cool. But so far, he feels like Valt 2.0, and that's not a good thing in my book. He's a little different, and by that I mean he isn't totally incompetent but the differences are painfully similar, far worse than Ginga to Zero. Heck, even in a front angle, Aiga's hair looked almost like Valts. So far I really don't care for Aiga in the manga.

The way the beyblades were created, well... I'll say that zA's explanation to how it was made was alright, he got an inspiration from some sort of... statue? Display manikin? Well whatever, the idea is that he had designs inspired from parts of it, and the prototype does build the shape well, so in that regard it's not as stupid as the God series anime where Valt had some vague dream about a really detailed new Valkyrie and somehow got it exactly on point with some vague drawing and his imagination. However, unless there's an explanation that I just can't read, how did wV come to be? Why did he need it? From what I saw, gV looked perfectly fine and the only reason they immediately switched it was for advertisement, albeit a rather poor one. Like it was from Valt showing gV, then not even a few panels later you see wV's layer on a pair of tongs, being heated probably. I would've preferred if it was in a lab or somewhere where making detailed plastic and metal tops actually seemed possible, I dunno the whole Metalsmith way of doing it seems a bit odd unless it was for the metal bits only. Whatever. I'd also like to know if: Aiga was a blader before as there was no hint of him being one. What made him want to blade? Assuming he never bladed, how did his match be so close against the WORLD CHAMPION Valt? Are you seriously telling me Valt is once again incompetent? But in his defense it was a new blade. At the same time, Shu was able to adapt to Sr and I would assume Valt is now as skilled. Whatever I guess. The chapter also has that first Burst chapter of the single layer season feel.

So yeah overall, I really don't like this chapter at all, it was incredibly boring and nonsensical so far, at least to me. Maybe a translation or English comic reading will help it though, who knows?

The beyblade manga is always very scrapped/rushed without much details, then the anime usually follows with explanations. Give it time.

It's certainly not Sisco, you can tell by how tiny his arms are. Sisco has a different body build.

gZ is 46g so it's quite a bit heavier

(Mar. 14, 2018  4:31 PM)TrainiacJ Wrote: Well, 0 weighs 24g, so thats an easy 25g between the Layer and Driver. Given the driver is big and plastic, I think it would weigh around Cycle's weight (i think it's like 9g?), maybe a smidge heavier. So i'd expect 15+ grams to be the standard for the ChoZ Layers.
