Though I honestly expect Kai-V will immediately debunk this theory, it makes sense to me until then :3

That said, with the huge power creep we're seeing in recent releases (read: round, round and rounder), I do wonder how they are going to keep producing viable new parts, and then how they will keep things balanced

I doubt I understood everything about the article, but it seems that while TAKARA-TOMY is generally suffering losses and that certain international acquisitions failed, Beyblade is still one of their top two toylines along with Transformers and their sales have increased in Asia and in Oceania. Great news for Metal Fight Beyblade, especially when we just got confirmation yesterday that Metal Fight Beyblade officially had more success than Bakuten Shoot Beyblade outside Japan too.

If I can get some accurate translations, I might even bring back BeyNews for this, hah.

They just got more popular due to more public viewing.After all,the old viewers were certainly very anticipated about Metal Fight Series, due to the popularity of Bakuten series. Did anyone noticed, what we felt about MFB earlier and what we feel about it now. The new system was certainly more exciting,and the publicity and ads too made more anticipation.
TAKARA might be having more profits,but only due to the show which we watch. After all, MFB is shown in more countries than the Bakuten used to be.

Hm, why would Rex have metal powder ? It is not a 4D Clear Wheel at all.
