Are they actually back, or are they on the poster just for the 7-year celebration thing...?

As I somewhat explored on the WBO server, Im sorta into the idea that Bell is the decoy protagonist — or if that isnt the case — leaning towards a “villain protagonist.” The viewers are roped into following Bell’s lead, but then its actually Rashad’s whose story and motive is being told in DB. In my opinion, its somewhat of a huge move for Morita to say that Rashad is the real hero

Somewhat like how Jojo’s creator Araki claims that the villain, Dio, is the protagonist of the series despite the title. Or how Dr. Stone fans initially thought Taiju would be the main character for the entire series

Its honestly pretty interesting for Burst to be creative with their protagonist use. Im just really used to Beyblade protagonists being one way — “the protagonist will keep their role for an entire season/series” and “our protagonist is on the good side” type of tropes. Im excited to see more of Rashad — either Bell is a decoy protagonist or a villain our “hero” Rashad has to beat. Ill have to wait and see, because Morita’s description of Rashad is quite vague atm

I think that may have just been a rumor. I'm glad they didn't go the fantasy route honestly.

Dang, I should've known that Burst wouldn't go down the MFB route but it would've been interesting if it did though.

Spoiler (Click to View)

We start with Rashad eating food at an outside dining area. He asks for some more food, but a commotion stars. A guy on a motorcycle stole someone’s purse. He says that he can’t forgive bad things, and punches the stealer in the face, sending him flying off the motorcycle. Everyone applauds Rashad as he returns the purse to the woman. Rashad smiles and says if they have any problems to tell them. A bunch of children cheer, and Valt appears to greet him.

Valt says stopping bad guys is cool, but isn’t punching someone off their motorcycle a little overkill? Rashad gets creepy and says the bad guys deserve to feel pain, it’s humanities right. You would be a bad guy for not agreeing he then tells Valt to return to BC Sol and train hard. We get a cool double spread of Radhad that introduces him. The new hero of the Beyblade world, currently ranked number one. Rashad Goodman.

At BC Sol, some kids run to Valt and Rashad, saying there’s a prank. Valt runs toward it excitedly, and it’s an American Ninja Warrior style obstacle course. The kid says he was told that if you don’t get through it, you can’t be in BC Sol. Valt fails and is greeted by Bell. Valt is surprised that the guy who does the live streams is here, and Bell comments on how Valt likes mischief, as he was smiling and running towards the prank.

Rashad is angry, saying a Demon King who does pranks is a bad guy. He clears the course with ease and gets to the end, where Bell, Basara, and Ranzo are. He tells Bell he’s cleared the course and that his mischief doesn’t work on him. Bell asks who he is, and Rashad says his name, and that he’s Valt’s successor. He came to Spain to visit Valt, and eliminates the bad guys. Bell calls him cheeky, and Rashad says that that’s a villain like thing to say. If he gets hurt, he shouldn’t complain.

They go to the Gym to have a match. Free, Valt, Ranzo, and Basara along with some other kids are watching. Rashad the hero, the new main character in the Beyblade world. Vs Bell the Demon King, the new villain in the Beyblade world. Good and evil, light and darkness. A clash between the two begins now. Bell says that he’ll let the cheeky guy advance first. Bell’s gang sees that Rashad has Valkyrie, Valts  he, Free and Valt silently watch on. F Gear Belial is knocked into the air. Using Valkyrie’s momentum against it, it hits the wall and rebounds, ringing out Valkyrie. Rashad says the stronger the enemy is, the stronger he gets. The second round starts, and
Belial clashes into the walls.

It rebounds off the walls, and Bell calls it the Demon King’s Super Speed Death Attack. Rashad gets mad and Valkyrie withstands the blow. He says the Valkyrie can withstand a strong blow, that’s the whole point of a Valkyrie. That’s what he wants to be like. He says that everyone that blades wants to be like him, that’s their hope. Valkyrie then jumps up, bringing Belial into the air with it. The children and cheer and Bell is surprised, along with his friends. Rashad says that the Demon King can’t beat him, and Valkyrie bursts through Belial. BC Sol cheers, and Bell’s friends are surprised.

Bell is flabbergasted, and Basara goes up to Rashad. He seriously tells Rashad that he was impressed by the blader, and he wants to be a blader like him. He asks. Rashad to let him practice with him. Rashad asks him if that’s okay. Are you practicing with Bell? Basara still angry says it’s okay. Rashad simply responds with really, and then leaves. Bell says what he told Free. This wasn’t a loss, just a  preparation to win. However this time he’s not nearly as confident in his words.

Rashad calls him out, saying he’s not really the Demon King, just someone that insists he is. Basara is walking away with Rashad, Bell and Ranzo are alone. Bell insists that next time, the Demon King will win. Rashad just smiles back.

There is no way he's the strongest, get Free and he's losing in 5.2 seconds

No, he is the number 1 blader. That came form the Narrator, not him. Same thing with the speech about light and darkness clashing.
