Ok @meowstix I know I’m probably not who this was meant for, but I’ll do it. Also it’s not an essay but but ramblings that I divided into sections. None of these are really worthy of an analysis post on their own so I took the opportunity to put them all here together Also, I misread the tag and thought it said 3000 word essay. I was approaching 2k words when I saw that. Oops Kai wanted to destroy his opponent Kai, at first, wishes to utterly destroy opponents. A character like Reiji embodies this to the extreme, feeling physical pain if his opponent doesn’t suffer. Kai’s sadism doesn’t come ..read more

sky-of-dusk: You and Ginga may just have been beybattling the other but you two turned the Mist Island into a mess. Don’t you two think you have a responsability to help with the investigation into what caused the damage to happen? -Ryuusei, episode 104 Bold of Ryuusei to get all moralizing. I saw most of the damages occurring BEFORE Pegasus and Leone evolved thanks to the star fragment’s power. What happened in episode 103: -Rock Leone throwing rocks -Rock Leone throwing Galaxy Pegasus on a rock -Galaxy Pegasus making a tree fall on Rock Leone -Rock Leone destroying rocks (again) to cr ..read more

wyborg: Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if 4Kids did Beyblade’s english dub instead of Nelvana. I just know that they would have given the Majestics and Demolition Boys the most over the top awful accents. At least one of the All Starz would be Southern or from Jersey. Max would talk like Joey Wheeler ..read more

Link to the masterpost. It’s been a while since the last time I did one of these, so let’s get to it Starting with the hair, Orochi has dreads. Yamata no Orochi is a multi-headed and multi-tailed serpent/dragon in Japanese mythology. Each one of Orochi’s dreads resembles a serpent Orochi wears headphones. It fits with his whole hearing gimmick. I imagine sensitive hearing can be a bit annoying and headphones (especially noise-cancelling) would be helpful His jacket has piano keys. He has a musical background and hearing = sound = music. Plus of all the instruments, it’s a piano. It’s a percus ..read more

How I feel about them: He's alright. There's nothing about him I dislike, but the things I like are all very superficial (cool design and bey). He feels like a filler character added in just because BEGA needed an extra blader Something I find interesting: his 4-eyed mask design. Someone had to make the deliberate decision to give it extra eyes and I love purposeful impracticality in character designs Something I think could've been done better: He's just there and doesn't really have a dynamic with the rest of his team nor with his opponents. Giving him a meaningful rivalry with Ray or friend ..read more

I found it. Between this, Beywarriors Cyborg, and Hang On the last few years have been great for Beyblade lost media The song's great, but I'm honestly perplexed by its existence being seemingly limited to a Beyblade CD despite never being featured in the anime ..read more

Turns out I’ve been gone for a while. A combination of lack of time, health issues, and general life bullshit decided to happen all at once. I have some asks in my inbox and I promise I’ll get to those. I’m turning the sideblog-experiment thing (@mach-speed-extra) into my main blog where I’ll post whatever, and keep this as the Beyblade-related now-sideblog And just in case anyone wants details, I will not be answering questions. I’ll say I’m doing mostly fine now regarding my health Welcome back, me ..read more

I assume you mean this ask One of my favorite characters in God. Despite his minimal screentime they managed to do a lot with him I really like how they handled his conflict with Silas. While Beyblade has had more nuanced conflicts in the past, they usually have a clear villain pulling the strings (see: BEGA and Starbreaker). Here, they had it be just between the two. It creates a very personal conflict for a side character that doesn't have much stake in the main story otherwise I like his design, but it's too similar to Kurt. I know Kurt was introduced later, but I think the design works be ..read more

g0reoz: sorry guys i have one (1) joke rn Reminder that Bakuten Shoot acknowledged that 9/11 happened in-universe. I assume it also happened in the X universe, which means someone who knew about 9/11 made the conscious decision to build the X Tower like that ..read more
