It's all in how it's executed. I actually never found Gwyn particularly compelling. Truthfully, it was Gwyn's introduction that made any meaningful work that could have been done with Arthur cut off at the knees. Why did he want to replace the blading league with a new order? What was the rationale? What questions could this have raised as to what blading is actually about? What effect could all of this have had on the wider blading world? All of these are interesting questions that could have been explored In depth if Gwyn wasn't introduced. Because he was, the potential for a truly compelling final arc was unfortunately wasted.

I'ma have to disagree. I like how they went deep into Gwyn's mental state and I've said it before but this scene is excellent.

It was too a degree interesting but I don't think the trade off for what we could have gotten was worth it imo.

Arthur’s motives are way too repetitive. Time and time again we’ve seen Arthur (the generic antagonist who just wants to rule over the world), this personality type is just boring after some time. There’s just nothing to be done with Arthur as he is just too arrogant to change and there wasn’t a lot of time to just flesh out his character in 8 minute episodes to flesh out and solidify his character (heck even Gwyn didn’t change all that much).

There are so many possibilities with Arthur when you think about it. Once again it's all in how it's executed. The depth that's taken with it. We could have had a truly epic final arc. Imagine half of the world's bladers rising up to Arthur's side, imagine the paradigm shift that would have caused in the blading world. In addition they could have gotten into the roots as to the why. Drum would have truly been the Wbba's savior by bringing the blading world back from the brink of that. So much potential.

Basically leading Beyblade into Naruto. What you’ve described there is a shounen anime in which the protagonist takes down the antagonist. Not to mention that’s a literal summary of Zero-g.

They already had introduced this idea with the introduction of Arthur, this is taking what was given and acutally deepening it.

Remember zero-g? That’s basically what you’ve described.

I remember Zero G. It's all in how you handle the concept. The concept isn't inherently bad. It's all about what you do with it.

There’s no way to do it originally.

It's a common conceit that everything has been as far as writing is concerned. What sets one piece apart from another it's how the writers makes their mark on it. So to say there's no way to make it different isn't actually true. There are multiple directions that could be taken in. So I don't subscribe to that idea.

Not really. Any such plot has already been done too many times hence why this kind of plots remain rather unpopular. There’s not too much originality in Arthur which leads to a bland non-action packed show.
