Another thing that I didn't realize till yesterday is that Ultimate Valtryek never burst.

This Manga was so good. It was not as good like other Shounen Mangas I've read but nevertheless, it was really good, way better than the Original Manga. The Beginning was set up really well with Basara being bullied out of his Solomon and Bell battling the person who stole it from him instead of Basara like in the Anime in the First Episode, Bell is also pretty similar to his Anime Counterpart. He's Goofy and kinda dumb but yet as that same charm that we all either hate or love. Ranzo was also just a Rival in the Manga that Bell constantly argues with and Glide also broke in the Manga and they made Cyclone the same way as the Anime did. I love the fact that instead of Lui challenging Bell and immediately losing its actually Free who challenges Bell with Vanish and mops the floor with him. It was really funny how Bell just stole Vanish so he could try figuring out its weaknesses and then eventually decided to make F Gear. I liked how the Manga did it was better because it was funnier and made Bell a more interesting character, kinda like a bratty boy who does whatever he pleases. He makes F Gear and beats Free and then Free's Role is pretty much over in the Manga lol. Bell literally goes to Basara's School and decides that he's better than everyone so he walks in in the middle of class and I think he heard about Basara making a DB Bey? (I can't read Japanese) and he literally argues with his teacher and forces him to let him battle Basara and starts a whole fricking protest at School (That Part was so funny I decided to mention it). Basara and Bell battle with Basara's New Roar Bahamut and Basara leads off with the First Point but Bell "Devastates" him by Bursting him with a Slow Launch causing Basara to cry which was sad ig. Valt and Rashad go wanting to challenge Bell next and I swear Bell makes them do the Kid Ninja Challenge, it was funny and goofy all in one and I loved it. Rashad was introduced punching a man, that's literally all I have to say. Anyways, instead of Valt challenging Bell for the first time, Rashad challenges him first and Bell gets an Over Finish but then Rashad uses his Badman Powers to Burst him. Rashad really hates Bell lol, just loves trashing him. Basara left with them to get stronger . Rashad and Valt battle in a title match and I'm pretty sure this is where Valt gets his #1 Title back because he obliterates Rashad by Awakening the Savior Blade and beating it up. Bell makes the V Gear and Ranzo wants to see but no, Bell is a brat and doesn't let him see, they get in an argument and Bell runs off and meets Shu. They go back to the Gates of Hell and battle. Shu gets the first point but then Bell wins with this Amazing Shot Upper type of move. Basically, Belial was pushed to the stadium rim and when the V Gear goes in the Spring compresses making the Burst Resistance on the Venture Driver so Belial pushed down on the Venture+V Driver adding more compression and countering with a Shot Upper of his own. Bell lets Ranzo see the V Gear and then they are friends again. Bell and Ranzo do some Trials to get the Devil Blade and then beat up a Statue Blader (Didn't pay much attention on this part tbh) Bell goes to Onigashima and battles Lui a bunch of times (Forgot to mention but Bell also mad the S Gear at this time after battling Shu from inspiration) and on the last time Bell activates his "Demon King Form" where he gets really angry and his Resonance surrounds him and he bursts Longinus this time and when he does Lui gives him L Gear as a present. Bell challenges Rashad to a battle after battling Lui and everybody is booing him and at this point Rashad's made Greatest Raphael and this battle is really good I really liked it, it goes further into Rashad's hate for Bell and Bell's Desperation to win causing him to forget that [S]Beyblade is just a game call yourself down[/s[ that he isn't having fun anymore and even though he got the first point, Raphael's Halo Activated and Rashad shatter Belial. This Break was so much better and hard-hitting in the Manga and I genuinely felt bad for Bell and this wasn't played out for an annoyingly long time like the Anime. Bell remembers when he first made Belial (Which was needed more in this time then at the end like in the Anime) Bell makes Dangerous Belial and challenges Rashad again, people are still booing him like last time but Bell doesn't care, he's just here to beat Rashad up and I wish this battle was Animated because it would be so good, Rashad starts off by one-shotting Bell with a Burst Finish and it was so clean and so good, the next Battle, Bell masters the Driver Gimmick and Burst Stopper Gimmick and Belial just keeps beating it up and bursts it. In the Final Battle, Rashad is serious and Bell puts all the Gears on Belial and Bell goes all out with Belial and Rashad kinda gets slapped around, he starts getting really serious and breaking the Gears one by one and one slashed him across his face (Uh Oh, Blood in Beyblade is a No No) but Bell comes through with just L Gear (Finally something believable) and wins with a Burst, again I so wished the battle exactly like this one was animated, it was really fun and good. Basara got mad at Rashad before for just playing to win and forgetting everything but now Basara is asking if Rashad had fun. Now, Final Battle, Valt has made Ultimate Valkyrie and battles his friends and family and this is really nice to see, this is the ending to Burst we should've gotten. Anyways, Bell and Valt battle in a Title Match and Bell goes in with No Gears since they were all destroyed in the battle with Rashad and I also wished this was Animated because it was amazing. The Driver Awakens in the middle of the battle and both Bell and Valt have racked up some points and are tied and it was really fun and cool to watch but Bell barely pulls through in the end with a Burst Finish and his friends congratulate him. All the Past Protagonists cheer Bell on which was really cool to see. This was a really good Manga and if the Anime did what the Manga did it would've been a way better Anime and probably would've been the best Anime. I wish BU got a Manga at the least it would've been so amazing to see but in the end I rate this Manga a 9/10

Valt is the only mc to have his bey given to him. Everyone else made their own. But despite that Valt made Valkyrie his own and evolved her way past expectations (im pretty sure valkyrie is a girl). Completely creating the strongest bond of any blader and constantly evolving with them to grow stronger together.

Shu even touched on this in QuadDrive/DB. He mentioned that's Valt's incredible passion for blading is what keeps Valtryek on the cutting edge, constantly pushing forward.

Yea who ever made Valkyrie and spriggan must be extremely amazed and proud of Valt and Shu for constantly evolving and bonding with them. Ultimately Rising up in the world as the worlds top 2 bladers with them as partners. I dont think they could have ever imagined that those beys would have evolved as much as they did.

Who would everyone say is the strongest blader for every burst generation (burst-DB) and who is possibly the strongest blader overall?

(Sep. 04, 2022  10:45 PM)Admiral W Wrote: Burst-DB is one generation (Burst Gen) Are you asking for the strongest Blader in each Burst season or the strongest blader from each Beyblade Gen (OG, MFB, and Burst)?

BC Sol:

The Influence of A Powerhouse Team

Across The Beyblade franchise there's been a variety of powerful teams; Gan Gan Galaxy from Metal Fight, Bladebreakers from OG and the list goes on. But of all the teams we've been introduced to, BC Sol is my favorite. Why? There are a number of things that make BC Sol a wonderful team, from the members, to the team's journey, to their overall influence on the blading world. I'm going to break these down.

______________________________

Members

I think it's pretty clear from my pfp that Valt Aoi is my favorite beyblade character, not just in Burst, but period. But he's the not the only reason BC Sol is my favorite team. There are various really great characters that make up this team and so many of them experienced there own fleshed out character arcs across season 2. Silas for example undergoes one of the best character arcs in the franchise. He went from being a blader completely interested in only his own prestige and power, but by the end of the world league final we see that he's come to really care about and rely on the other members of the team. He tells Kris near the end of season 2 that he wants to make BC Sol, not himself, a household name. In the beginning he spent his time wandering with nowhere to call his own. When he joined BC Sol he finally found a place to belong. He isn't the only one, Free, Rixion, and of course Valt, among others, all grow at BC Sol. The members of the team have unique character designs and interesting characterizations.

Not to mention the fact that BC Sol also has a very impressive line up; You have four Blading Legends, one of which, Valt, the team Captain, is the World Champion and Number 1 Blader in the World, the World's Strongest Blader, the Legend of Legends, who, along with Free, are members of the Big Five. In addition we have Silas and Rantaro both of whom are Blading Legends plus other strong bladers like Kit and Cuza. There really isn't a team in the world who can take on this lineup. For all the above reasons I love these members.

______________________________

The Journey

To say in the beginning BC Sol was burdened with difficulties would be an understatement. Early on bladers were departing the team left and right and others were jockeying for positions all of this the produced an atmosphere of tension and disunity, next they lost their top blader, and as a result they lost match after match, and even more team members left. During those beginning stages the team struggled just to scrap by. Why mention this? Because it was this dysfunction that made their eventual cohesion and teamwork all the more satisfying.

The team really had to struggle to find their balance. It was during this time of stabilization that more team members joined. BC Sol fell into their initial desperate state due to over reliance on Free, but eventually they pulled themselves up and turned the team around, making it an all around better team. In the words of Shasa, "We had to push ourselves to the limit to make it this far." It took time, but they finally became the team Kris always thought they could be.

______________________________

Influence On the Blading World

This is one of the things that sets BC Sol apart from other teams in the franchise. From the very beginning Kris knew BC Sol had the potential to influence and inspire an entire generation of Bladers and BC Sol ended up doing just that. Several of the world's best newer bladers came from where? BC Sol. Dante and Delta for example learned so much from their time at BC Sol, they grew up as bladers there and then took what they learned there and revived the Victories and made it a top tier team. Both Dante and Delta then went on to become Blading Legends.

Kit as well went on to become a very powerful blader In addition to both Rashad Goodman and IIya Mao. All of this is a result of BC Sol. As of DB BC Sol is still the world's top blading team, and people the world over still look to BC Sol as a beacon of top level blading. So many powerful bladers have come out of BC Sol, entire generations of bladers have trained there. We see in Turbo and beyond how many more members have come aboard. All of this is possible because of the journey the team underwent in season 2.

______________________________

BC Sol is made up of a variety of interesting and powerful members. The team has influenced and inspired legions of new bladers all over the world and still stands as the best team in the world. It's more than just a group of bladers. When we examine it, we see that BC Sol has moved the blading forward. BC Sol is truly a unique team; one I truly think is the best in the franchise for all the above reasons.

Another 10/10 Bey analysis! No that doesnt do it justice. 12/10 work very nice. BC Sol the best blading team in the world.

Thanks a bunch. There are so many things those first two seasons of Burst do right that make them my favorite in the entire Beyblade franchise one of them being the inclusion of BC Sol and the journey the team goes on. BC Sol is an interesting piece of connective tissue through the Burst Gen. It really did affect the Blading World in so many ways.

The team really had to struggle to find their balance. It was during this time of stabilization that more team members joined. BC Sol fell into their initial desperate state due to over reliance on Free, but eventually they pulled themselves up and turned the team around, making it an all around better team. In the words of Shasa, "We had to push ourselves to the limit to make it this far." It took time, but they finally became the team Kris always thought they could be.

Influence On the Blading World

This is one of the things that sets BC Sol apart from other teams in the franchise. From the very beginning Kris knew BC Sol had the potential to influence and inspire an entire generation of Bladers and BC Sol ended up doing just that. Several of the world's best newer bladers came from where? BC Sol. Dante and Delta for example learned so much from their time at BC Sol, they grew up as bladers there and then took what they learned there and revived the Victories and made it a top tier team. Both Dante and Delta then went on to become Blading Legends.

Kit as well went on to become a very powerful blader In addition to both Rashad Goodman and IIya Mao. All of this is a result of BC Sol. As of DB BC Sol is still the world's top blading team, and people the world over still look to BC Sol as a beacon of top level blading. So many powerful bladers have come out of BC Sol, entire generations of bladers have trained there. We see in Turbo and beyond how many more members have come aboard. All of this is possible because of the journey the team underwent in season 2.

BC Sol is made up of a variety of interesting and powerful members. The team has influenced and inspired legions of new bladers all over the world and still stands as the best team in the world. It's more than just a group of bladers. When we examine it, we see that BC Sol has moved the blading forward. BC Sol is truly a unique team; one I truly think is the best in the franchise for all the above reasons.

After Valt reclaims the No.1 rank from Rashad the manga would Show Valt sitting on a throne as the challenger deciding match between Rashad and Bell was about to start. Really portraying Valt as the king of legends.
