Anyone upset by Virgo's "spirit" is dumb.
Virgo is the Virgin/Maiden, Whatever it was going to be, it was going to be a female representing purity and grace.
It's not like you were going to get an armor clad Amazon hunter.

Oops sorry about that. >.< Takara only produces the beyblades... nvm.
I just went a little rage, because most star signs look cool, and I'm stuck with a ballerina...
Sorry, once again.

what's wrong with ballerinas?

And as for what's wrong with ballerinas, pretty much everything.
Ballet completely and utterly destroys the body, most ballerinas don't have any kind of reproductive cycle due to the amount of damage that it does to their bodies, and tend to retire by the age of 30 due to a physical inability to perform after that point.
Hip replacements and knee operations are also common place because of the strain ballet has on joints.
Not to mention that it's one of the highest known causes of anorexia, since an incredibly thin and shapeless form is expected of ballet dancers in particular.

My cousin also teaches dance, and has had many joint and muscle problems from ballet herself.

athletic performers sustain physical injuries. shocking
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - bey tempest - Nov. 17, 2009
this is going totally off-topic i mena virgo may be a ballerina but talking about there injuries and what not is not what this thread is meant for
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - Bey Brad - Nov. 17, 2009
To be fair, when I said "what's wrong with ballerinas", I did not expect anyone to turn it into a moralistic argument, unless ellz honestly thinks that this is setting a bad example for kids ...
Virgo is literally "virgin lady." There are very few symbols appropriate to convey this, but I think this one works well.
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - theflightyellz - Nov. 17, 2009
I just don't agree with the aesthetic expectations of ballet dancers that the first article detailed, but tempest is right, I might have gone a little too far off topic.
Virgo is also considered as an earth sign, maybe a 'mother earth' type spirit would have been fitting?
Not that it makes a difference, since this is what they've gone with.
It'll be interesting to see in the anime either way.
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - Guardian Odin - Nov. 18, 2009
I don't know. I like the ballerina. A mother earth spirit is a little more cliche than that.

amen!
thats exactly what i say when people complain how unrealistic Beyblade Seasons 1-3 was...
and believe me, virgo being a ballerina isnt as extreme as Kai's Dranzer being able to burn trails of blue fire...

RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - theflightyellz - Nov. 20, 2009
From what I can see of the Gravity bowl track, those angled spokes must be intended to work in the same way as DF145 and T125.
Can't they come up with anything original anymore?
(On the upside, the virgo clear wheel is really nice)
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - Bey Brad - Nov. 20, 2009
Yeah, Gravity Bowl is basically D125 + DF145
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - Benkei - Nov. 20, 2009
I have to say that I love the look of the clear wheel though
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - Kai-V - Nov. 22, 2009
We really have to stop making assumptions now ...

I did not take this screenshot yet.
So, it seems GB145 has the balls. If they are made of metal, then it is possible I originally took that information as that of the Bottom and that we now have no real idea of what Mirage Virgo's Bottom will be, unless they indeed take BS again.
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - bey tempest - Nov. 22, 2009
ha it will be total bs get it
oh wait on that picture http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/Kai-V/EarthVirgo_Anime2.jpg it says bottom:BG145A whatever that may be
mirage virgo may be better for defense because of the metal balls in track adding weight to it dont really know about effectiveness of mirage

Just something you should not consider serious right now, in my opinion. For some reason I doubt the Bottom will be called A or something.
RE: BB-60 Random Booster Vol. 4 Mirage Virgo - Kei - Nov. 22, 2009
I quit Beyblade if those aren't metal balls.
OK, probably not, but I would be shocked if they weren't.
