RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Xcess-Z - Feb. 05, 2023 Here’s my favorite part about protagonist: Tyson: I like how they gave Tyson proper character growth without throwing away what made his character good in the first place. Gingka: He easily is the protagonist with the best battles imo. His power growth tying in with his character growth is also pretty neat. Valt: His transformation over the course of the Generation was great. I love how he naturally matured over time.

RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Dark red - Feb. 05, 2023 Also, does anyone think that Chris was an idiot in the 4D/Metal Fury season? Him being like "I don't care what my employer's motive is" when the world was in danger seemed stupid to me. If the world is destroyed or shrouded in darkness, I don't think there will be any more people who will hire you, Chris. As a matter of fact, the whole "blader for hire" stuff seemed corny in my opinion. I liked the manga version of Chris where he was part of the USA army.

Chris' redemption/development in the anime was super rushed imo. Wish they introduced all of the Legendary Blader's in the first episode then as the season goes on we see all of their point of views. Chris did say "why did I ever try to revive this monster" referring to Nemesis.

Kyoya didn’t have any ground breaking development, however he was always a very likable character. Shu had an amazing arc, but afterwards fell out of relevancy for 4 whole seasons (not including Sparking). As far as Burst goes, I like it, but I think it’s the worst Gen for side characters. The only ones that are consistently relevant are the Legends. This may be a bit harsh, but every other character not only has super rushed development, but is almost always forgotten for at least half of their season. Burst’s side characters as noticeably had less of an impact than the ones in previous Generations imo.

Shu was hella relevant in Turbo. And I disagree with the side character statement. I personally think Burst did their side characters better than the last 2 series combined. RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - God Dragruler - Feb. 06, 2023 Nah the last series did their side character plus girls bladers better. Look at zac he was top 4 s1 after that gone, and remenber zeus had in evo during god but nada and before someone pull the while he retired excuse well he unretired himself after like 2 or 3 episode later so no excuse their, others like quon, ben, ibuki, even ken (it took 5 season to.

Burst got nothing on both Mfb or OG with the side character department What are you even talking about. We legit see most of the S1 side characters cameo in S2. And if you must know if you aren't going to use a side character for even a minor role then that character shouldn't have any influence in the story at all other than maybe a cameo. Just saves time for the story and focuses on other more important factors. Plus side characters have closure being the reason we never really see them again, ex. Hearts, Lodin. We see Kurtz in the Sparking manga and Hearts in the anime had closure with his brother. Also people like Zac and Daigo come back in the manga so your point? Metal brings side characters back but does absolutely nothing with them. And even the characters they bring back either have a rushed development or and underutilized. Also I think you're at a misconception about a supporting character and a side characters. Almost all the examples you given like Yu, Madoka, and Tsubasa are wrong. They aren't side character's but they are part of the main cast so are you surprised they came back? Benkei is also part of the main cast. Also you say Benkei got stronger when in Fury he literally got dogged by everyone other than the generic bladers. Blind from GT lost all his battles but he only fought Delta and Dante and put up a fight against them which is valid. I personally don't really care much for the female cast stuff even though we get people like Nika and Kristina back after their debuting seasons. Kiyamas, Amane, and Basara is the surface lol. Lui got development. Boa got development. Fubuki got development. Fumiya got development. I can go on really. I'm not even going to say much about OG since I forgot a lot but I know Metal enough to say something. Your inclined to believe what you say but this is just a rebuttal because I fairly don't agree.

Put an end to Phi's reign of terror. 4. Help Aiga prepare to defeat Phi. I wouldn't say he's a full on main character but he's definitely a main supporting cast member which is relevant enough.

Burst got nothing on both Mfb or OG with the side character department Cameo’s don’t equal actual follow ups. Seeing them is cool, but what we want to see is how they’ve changed over time. I think that’s what’s MFB does better in comparison to Burst. Daina did return and Battle, but Zac only made a cameo. Also, Tsubasa and Yu are only main characters in the second season. So the fact that they not only returned but were given major roles in the next season is actually a testament to MFB’s writing to be honest. As for Benkei, I think you’re confusing power development for character development. Sure, he still isn’t on par with Kyoya, but his character made lots of changes in both departments, ending with him being almost entirely different in Zero G. Rantaro is really the only Kiyama with substantial development, and as I already said Amane got his way too late unfortunately. Boa and Fubuki are really worthless in the grand scheme of things. They have potential to be cool, but they don’t do anything of note all season, especially Boa. He basically only existed as a punching bag to show off how strong Shu is.

Blind and Pot should've at least Bursted a few Beys such as Asura, Fafnir, Dragon, or Longinus. Fumiya should've gotten a character arc where he is doubtful about whether he is worthy of owning Fafnir. He should also be on Drum's team in WBBA vs HELL tournament.

Master's he plays a minor role. Fury is an even more minor role. Boa is definitely well done and I did love him grow to see that you should never give up on your Bey thanks to Valt. I'm also not sold about MFB's writing. Have examined it many times and didn't see anything to appreciate character wise. Plus you say "in the grand scheme of things" when that doesn't even matter. Development is development. Boa and Fubuki have developed in their respective seasons. Remember that development is not about how big of a character you are in the season rather how much your character grows. And Boa and Fubuki have both done that. Amane's development started in the last arc and even earlier in the season we see some foreshadowing of it so it's valid. Also i'm not confusing power development and character development. I can differentiate the two. I'm just refuting what the other person said.

If Sparking were 24 minutes instead of 12, every Legend shown in the manga would have been in the anime. But you have to take the time decrease into account. RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Admiral W - Feb. 06, 2023 A misconception I'm seeing here is mistaking appearances for character work. Yes more of MFB's characters appeared later in the series but that's doesn't equal character work. Though side characters appear less frequently in later seasons in comparison to MFB, the seasons they appear they actually grow through definite character arcs which I can't really say for the most part for MFB. Burst definitely has the better character work.

RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - Xcess-Z - Feb. 06, 2023 Burst doesn’t have great character work either. The characters just appear. The only returning side character with a substantial role in God is Lui. Chozetsu has no one, same for GT and DB. The only exception is Sparking. Valt, Aiga, Free, and Shu reappearing frequently isn’t anything substantial because they’re main characters. I’m talking side characters, like Rantaro and Tsubasa. I don’t get why this is even an argument. People have been begging for side characters to reappear instead of just the same 5 people (Valt, Shu, Aiga, Lui, and Free)for years, and all of a sudden we’re acting like we’re above that? Seems like a nothingburger to me. RE: Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts - God Dragruler - Feb. 06, 2023 (Feb. 06, 2023 8:30 PM)Xcess-Z Wrote: Burst doesn’t have great character work either.

The got better story, better mains and better side characters i'm surprised some don't say it has better female at this point, anything you said wont change their mind. Thats why I mostly stay out of their way when I see its going nowhere when it comes having an opinion about all 3 . Just enjoy burst the way you want and agree to disagree it healthier |
