Several face designs were outright butchered, names of constellations were censored and stickers on the inner wheel with interesting patterns were changed to be bland. And many of the disks were changed to awful colors like that snot-green Pegasus.

Do they still do that with Burst?

Now imagine that they've been doing that since Season 3 of the anime (we're on, what, season 6 or 7 now?) and also adding in generally unhelpful gimmicks into the tips that (short of Slingshock, the first of those gimmicks) have made them either worse or totally unlike the TT releases.

Wait, they changed the entire structure and they're not compatible? At that point it's not even the same product. Man, I really can't understand Hasbro.

Welcome to the fold. This has been most of us since 2016 when we saw the first releases of Hasbro Burst.

2016 is when I dropped out of the hobby. I moved to Japan at that time, I bought a few releases after arriving, but I was unable to find a community to play with so I dropped off. I ended up joining a beigoma community a few months later though, and I have been actively playing with them ever since. Although I haven't played in quite some time due to having a baby and then the pandemic hitting, I'll be going back for sure once this is all over.

Any ideas before I decide to recycle them?

Idk any ideas. I made a little beyblade fortress in my room where I can have some me time. I started a tradition where I keep the broken box of the most recent bey I got just cause I feel like it. I’ll send a pic when I get home if you want. 
Maybe take a last look at the gimmicks or something in case you forget them?

Well, 2016 is when Hasbro's Burst landed, and started confusing the masses with their incompatibility. Some parts were a far cry from their TT counterparts, especially layers like Valtryek (Valkyrie was top-tier as a burst attacker, but the Hasbro version was a bursting hazard), Unicrest (which was strictly better than the TT version of Unicorn, with far better burst resistance and good Stamina), and Nepstrius (Neptune was a good staller layer, Nepstrius was shaped slightly more aggressively and became much easier to burst through its worse shape).

And now that everything's so different, with two different chip systems, no chassis on Sparking system beys, e.t.c... it's not the same thing. It's not as bad as I think some believe, there's plenty of merit in simply playing casually, but that's just what Hasbro blading has become: Almost strictly a casual event. Pro Series exists solely to give it a competitive foothold, but it's 2 seasons behind the TT mainline and a far cry away in power level because of it despite being nearly identical otherwise.

I saw somewhere (can’t remember the specific thread) that Hiro Morita made a Twitter post or something about starting a new manga. I think burst has had its run and that it’s an amazing story (for 3 seasons at least) but at this point they’re running out of ideas and going back to smaller beys and starting a new system would be good for everyone. That way we can start simple and grow through the next system as a more United community of bladers! Plus a hiatus wouldn’t hurt so we can enjoy burst, catch up on releases and stuff as well.

If it is the final burst season, THANK GOODNESS it is because I remember when we assumed Sparking would be the last one.

Burst is like MLP: FIM: A popular generation that lasted for so many years we didn't know how hasbro would end it. Burst has been on the scene for 6 years now. I think it's about time for TT to breathe some fresh air. Though the question is, I don't know how they will make their next system.

I'm worried. I've heard about the Metal-Burst hiatus and it sounds pretty brutal. While overall it's healthy, there are some people that I can't imagine leaving forever. The WBO will lose traction without new releases and I feel like this could leave us in a pretty bad place. Between no more releases and people not likeing the community, I can see a great deal of members leaving. On the flip side, once the new series starts I can see a lot of member joining. I feel like I got into beyblade at the wrong time. I started just before the vicious cycle of season-hiatus began. As soon I get used to everything... it's gone. No more releases, no new beyblades, people leaving due to boardom. It's gonna be hard on me.

For me personally it's gonna be overwhelming - i joined this community in September 2019 and that was the GT Season i believe and i've become more and more excited towards Beyblade Burst since then (considering it's what got me into Beyblade in the first place). If DB is the last season then i really don't know what i'll do, i do know that my activity here on WBO will decrease drastically once burst ends because i will eventually run out of things to talk about and i will definitely run out of original content for fanfictions so i think once i've run out of steam for burst, i might just leave until a new series gets announced.

That doesn't mean i'll stop loving Beyblade, i love Beyblade just as much as the next person but if we have no content for a few years then it might be best to take a little break. I'll still watch the animes and i'll try to write new fanfictions when i can but i think it is safe to say that Burst while it had its ups and downs in both Products and Anime/Manga, it was definitely something that united the fanbase to talk about these amazing spin tops that hit each other to death and to finally say goodbye after 6 seasons might just be for the best

Overall, while it will be difficult to say goodbye. All good things must come to an end at some point and i'm excited to see what will come in the next series (if there is one)


                         Thank You, Hiro Morita for giving us an amazing series loved by bladers of all ages!
