Well i haven't seen the episode yet maybe because of late but i watch the op from youtube(p.s i know how it feels)
One thing that I found particularly hilarious about the Beyblade Burst Sparking opening theme is that during that segment near the end, where we see all the veteran bladers who have returned for this season, Ranjiro was nowhere to be found. Now, it's likely because it would be redundant to show him, when we already have Rantaro anyway but it just further proves and goes to show how worthless he is, that even the opening doesn't want to show him lol.
I saw something darkness in the opening, it seems it is the Codename L bey AND THE USER, and look at the appeared sequence of the Leagendary bladers, Drum then Aiga then Shu, that maybe Dragon come in Augest
The ending was flipping amazing, and the opening was pretty good. It was nice to see old characters return (with a purpose) and how Sisco and Rantaro still kept their personalities straight. I'm waiting to see all the memes about how that short side character with the yellow hair.

And some secrets like hyuga being the last one to caches up with the gang is he the main villan who knows
Personally, I think of it as a foreshadowing that out of Hikaru and Hyuga. Hyuga is more of the main character. I don’t think he’s the villain as he has the classic anime smile. Probably is supposed to just be for added affect to set the tone for the ending
Also seems as for now, Hikaru is stronger than Hyuga. Hikaru made valt bring out his Valkyrie bit beast, although valt wasn’t going full power, seems as valt put more power into beating Hikaru than Hyuga. Valt Just one hit Hyuga. I’m positive Hyuga will catch up in power. And he’s my fav out the 2.
01) Beyblade Revolution!!
ベイブレード革命!!
Beiburēdo Kakumei!!
April 3, 2020
"A Beyblade revolution will happen!" Said the strongest Legendary Blader, Valt Aoi. Valt hosts a "Sparking Bey" legendary battle match with Rantaro Kiyama and Sisco Karlisle! In that match, two brothers watch on with burning passion in their eyes. They are Hikaru Asahi and Hyuga Asahi, two Bladers from the local Bey Club "Bombers". The two throw down their written challenge to Valt, with their two Sparking Beys in hand!

02) Beys of the Sun! Hyperion & Helios!!
太陽のベイ!ハイペリオン&ヘリオス!!
Taiyō no Bei! Haiperion & Heriosu!!
April 3, 2020
Hyuga and Hikaru, who made Super Hyperion and King Helios by themselves, quickly choose to challenge Valt. In front of the legends Rantaro and Sisco and with their friends in "Bombers" watching over them, the brothers get one battle each with the Blader they look up to, Valt. Hyuga's strategy against the Attack Type Valkyrie is... no plan at all!? Meanwhile after calmly analyzing the battle, Hikaru declares that he has a way to capture Valkyrie with Helios' "special feature"!!

Yes i agreed maybe hyuga is the one who beat this "L" bey and i think that for this season first 2 episode my impression are the phasing is fixed and the visuals are better than the other season and unlike gt where they used too many bank animation in the first two episode
For me this season might be my favorite if the development for the two brother exists so this episode is a 9/10 great start and unlike gt it has more feel for the theme of the season
The first episode was... basic. And I don't mean that in a bad way, just that it's your standard "introduce main characters who discover new system and want to make their own" type first episode" so you won't be blown back by it. I do like seeing the relationship between the two main characters who are brothers, with Hikaru always looking out for Hyuga to the point of having to carry him when he almost wakes up late to watch a tournament. Unfortunately, the pacing (even with both the episodes together) is pretty bad as everything feels so rushed, scenes get skimmed over so quickly and the new main characters meeting Valt and his friends feels a bit too instant personally. Yes, this season is shortened just like GT so they have to rush it but still a bit too fast for me.
The battles are actually really good this season, it really does feel like the new system has stepped up evidenced by how intense and fast-paced it was combined with some really good animation. My favourite battle between the two episodes has to be the fight between the first three veterans, it's probably one of my favourite battles in the Burst franchise as it feels like the three are actually almost evenly matched (even Rantaro) so it makes the battle more interesting to watch and combined with them all dishing out their special moves and countering each other from every corner, it was a sight to see. The fight between Valt and Hikaru is pretty cool too.
As for the new characters:
- I actually really like Hikaru so far. He's the first Beyblade Burst protagonist who isn't an idiot as he's always prepared, analytical in battles, studies the system in order to create his own based on it and isn't reckless. I really like that rather than jumping into action straight away like his brother, he plays it more safe and tries to study his opponents and their moves. His personality is kind of like a mix of Aiga's determination and Tokonatsu's analytical skills. Another cool aspect about him is how he looks out for his brother, whenever he does something stupid or jumps into action without a plan.
- Hyuga is okay but he's not quite as cool as Hikaru. He does have funny moments such as waking up late, rubbing into is brother's face when he won a game of rock-paper-scissors and when he got pretty mad after losing to Valt, thanks to his recklessness. He can also be unpredictable as he can be lazy at times and completely energetic at other times. He does get a bit grating at times, which is why I think Hikaru is better and doesn't stand out as much, but he's fine, just nothing amazing though maybe things will change. What I like about them both is that their beys fit with their personalities, Hyuga's bey focuses on speed and power which reflects on Hyuga's hyperactive personality and his habit of jumping into action first. Hikaru's bey having variety reflects on how prepared he is, like if one mode doesn't work then he'll have a back up mode and having a variety means he can choose which mode suits best against his opponents.
- I'm unfortunately not a big fan of the trio sidekicks for the main characters so far. The geeky-looking kid is alright but is just kinda there, the camera girl is just another Momoko (and sadly, I don't care for Momoko so she doesn't leave a good impression so far) and ugh... we have another pointless mini-moe character with a grating voice, though he's not nearly as annoying as Takane so far, so that's a plus. Still, it appears they will be like Ichika and Takane where despite looking like side-characters, they will be one of the main characters.
Overall, the episode is fine but as I've said, it's basic. The battles are the highlights of the episode and is definitely worth a watch just to see them.
Honestly, these episodes just made me want to be in the Hikaru gang even more. It's not that I don't like Hyuga, it's just that Hikaru appeals to me a bit more.
Ranjiro isn’t even in the intro, I guess he really doesn’t count as a legendary blader - or perhaps it’s because he is basically just rantaro. Either way he does appear in the ending (outro) which is NOT beypop by the way. The intro, blurb and episode also seem to strongly imply that Valt is most definitely the strongest blader in existence at the moment which I think is where he rightfully belongs and it’s definitely nice to see Rantaro (who can now bench press lmao) and Sisco back. The new protagonists “Hyuga” and “Hikaru” seem to be pretty cool themselves and they really do fill the younger and older brother relationship and characteristics. Hyuga is depicted as the hyperactive childish and highly spirited loving younger brother which is very fitting since he uses an attack type. Hikaru is the responsible more mature and generally more skillful elder brother. He is very calm and aware as opposed to Hyuga while still being kind and nicely spirited (although not as much as Hyuga of course) which screams balance type, doesn’t it ? Their beys additionally match the colours of their attire and differ in spin direction alongside their bladers dominant hand in order to further distinguish between the two. The episode(s) overall were really great in my opinion ! It introduced us to the main character(s) like always and depicted them witnessing a really enjoyable and epic battle between the legendary bladers Valt, Sisco and Rantaro and I love how the result of the battle is unknown leaving it up to the viewers interpretation. The protagonists later challenge Valt while Rantaro and Sisco keenly observe (Another thing I love). Clueless Hyuga gets finished by Valt with one blow but the more mature Hikaru develops a strategy to defensively beat Valt and fares much better than Hyuga lasting a while and even surpassing Hyuga’s launch. The side characters are kinda meh as expected but at least they’re more entertaining than the last. The season is looking really good and the only fear I particularly have is the antagonist being some overpowered poorly written character with a less than adequate backstory who goes on a rampage destroying beys. I would much rather have him as a minor obstacle in the face of Hyuga and Hilaru while the legends are the true challenge but I doubt that will happen

Definitely, I have a feeling it may be more grand than other burst seasons if it truly is the final season of burst.
