[Fan Design] J's Beyblade Burst concepts

Whenever I come up with a Bey concept, I always take into account what type of release it would be so I can gauge how many new parts would be required. This Bey idea specifically came about when I was thinking about what this year's Rare Bey Get Battle prize would be, and since last year's was just a Layer, I felt like it would be likely this year's would be just a Layer too. However, since TT seems to be putting more... spirit (I guess?) into this year's releases, I think a fully unique Layer seems more likely to happen than a repeat of last year's prize being just a tacky gold Valkyrie with a new Weight. So when I was thinking about what a release like that could be, my mind turned to Genesis, since it already has a greek letter in its name to make it appear more special, as well as a... safety precaution? Since using the Gamma letter in the names of the new parts would make it more possible to divide them from any future parts, as well as not conflict with any future names. I also picked Genesis as the avatar because I highly doubt they're going to be reviving Genesis for another iteration this season, so that means if I'm right, this post will remain timeless, haha.

I based the colors of these parts off of Bigbang Genesis, but the shape is more based on Regalia Genesis, which I think combines the best aspects of both versions of Genesis. The Chip Core in Genesis is a holdover from an unfinished concept I was working on before the system was revealed in full, hence why it looks almost nothing like either the Helios/Hyperion Chip Core or the generic Chip Core that the rest of the Beys that we've seen thus far use.

The Gemini Ring is probably the least interesting part of the Beyblade in terms of function, but its shape holds true to Regalia Genesis. The part description I wrote for it and the other parts was my attempt at creating a TT-like description, since one of the things I've been doing since last year is translating the part descriptions they've put on their website, and I wanted to mimic that style for this, haha. IRL though, it would probably function like Flash's Attack Mode. It has no special gimmick compared to the Chassis, but that's kind of the point, since the intention of this Layer is that you can use any Ring with the Genesis Chip and γD Chassis to essentially create as many Infinite Lock Layers as there are unique Rings. I came up with the name "Gemini" when thinking of cool word that start with G but also fit with Genesis' somewhat mystical nature, and since my brain has been stuck in Mega Man mode this past week due to quarantine-induced gameplay bingeing, my mind instantly came up with Gemini, haha.

The γD Chassis was originally meant to be shaped more like the Bigbang Armor, but after the first drafts came out looking awkward underneath the Ring, I altered the design to be less intrusive. It still retains the Bigbang Armor colors, however, with red plastic and golden plating. Since a standard Superking Chip would not be able to function with the Infinite Lock System, given the entire lock mechanism needs to rotate, I included the stipulation that the Genesis Chip has to be used with it, because it would be designed to not intrude on the mechanism. The logistics of this are somewhat shaky, especially considering that unlike my last concepts I didn't use references to create bases for Superking concepts, but since this is just an artwork and not a blueprint (and I don't plan on making any more after this), I think I can let it slide, lol.

I also noticed a couple errors while working on this post, namely that the Genesis chip doesn't follow the two-letter naming scheme for the Superking Chips, but given that its super unlikely there's going to be any more official Chips with a name starting with a gamma any time soon, that's kind of a non-issue. Another non-issue I noticed is that in the section for the Chassis names, I forgot to put "γD" in the field for the Japanese name, since the Japanese names for chassis use numerals and english letters for their names, and only have katakana as a pronunciation guide. But again, since the name is basically the same in Japanese and English due to the aforementioned numerals and english letters thing, it's also a pretty pedantic inconsistency, so I'm not going to bother fixing it.

I don't really have a full combo in mind for this Layer, mostly because for a while in development γD was a Double Chassis instead of the final Single Chassis design. I think Vanguard for the Disc and Quest for the Driver would be best, mostly because I think it's funny, haha.

That's all I have to say about this. Thanks for reading if you got this far!
