The pay off with Shu and Lane winning teh first round was great and Shu throwing his jacket off was really good (Should've abandoned it and have his DB character not wear any Jackets but I digress). However simple fixes could have made a better overall season. Here they are in my opinion.

1. Lane Motivation
Just take the time to explain his motivation in whatever episode. I would have done it when he was making Lucifer The End. It just makes the character more interesting.

2. Equal Screen time
Give screen time to characters who didn't get much instead of waiting to make them interesting late in the show. (Examples: Drum and Sisco).

3. Consistent Power Scaling
I can forgive a battle or 2 with somewhat meh power scaling, they wouldn't have to redo every single faulty battle. However some stuff chould probably be fixed. For example have Lane hold is own during the Group A Battle Royale against all the beys but not win. Him holding on so long in a big onslaught shows how strong he is, while not making it to unbelievable.

4. Character Growth
They don't have to put in the protagonists character arcs, but I at least wanted some character growth for Hyuga starting around mid season. Hikaru had some starting their as well, but it took a bit for Hyuga.

I can only hope we get a Beyblade Burst Kai so they can do these fixes. It doesn't have to follow the manga step by step to be enjoyable imo, and ChoZ through Sparking isn't even that bad. But simple fixes would certainly accelerate the entire Series to new heights.

---

Just cause it's interesting to think about it, this would probably be my tier list if they remade ChoZ through Sparking and made them the best they could be.

1. Chozetsu
2. God
3. Sparking
4. Gachi
5. Burst

Is he even going to be the antagonist though? He seems more like the role Lui played in Cho Z to me, just an early obstacle for Bell to overcome
