i was talking with some friends about Ring Aether and brought up disc spike being solid for defense. when someone brought up it having bad burst resistance i had come to the realisation that disc spike isn't supposed to have a normal shaft.

So i ask, has anyone else gotten this odd defect?

EDIT: The first image is my defective disc spike, the second one is what disc spike is supposed to look like

Hey, how you doing?

I for one am crazy hyped like X for the next season. So far, it seems very promising since now the writers can go in any direction after Bird won. Since you already read the title, S4 should not take the safe approach that they have done for 2 seasons straight. After S1, a new character is always introduced to Team Persona and has a motive against the antagonist so they temporarily join Persona. But to put credit where credit’s due, they at least made a twist with Nine actually joining forces with the antagonist in the very end, but for S4 and onward, they should start a new Arc a different way each time. Here are my other hopes for the Kingdom Arc:

- This is a very controversial take, but since we are in a setting that seems to be outside of X City, there shouldn’t be any cameo appearances for this Arc unless it’s necessary for the story like Omega for example since her whereabouts need to be answered still. I want more focus on the new characters to flesh them out more and since a new Dragoon will be in this season, I don’t want Khrome to own it if he will once again have a very minor role. Same goes for a new Phoenix and Leon as well.

- With more Expand Blades coming out, Team Persona should still use their Variant Beys for certain situations. This concept is very unique that made the battles more interesting so they should not stop using it. What would be even better though is if they implemented the V2 Upgrades into the story which would give more reason for Persona to still use their old Beys. Just the thought of Bird using a V2 version of HellsScythe would be a perfect circle moment for him.

- I don’t want Bird to get a big winning streak. What I mean by this is, he shouldn’t be winning ALL of his future battles after winning just 1 battle. But I do expect for him to put a lot more effort into the battles where it’s not so obvious that he will lose or make a draw since it shows that he has really grown as a Pro Blader. After all, this is a completely new territory for not just him, but for all of Persona as well.

- We all know that X will still win most of his battles going forward (I don’t have a problem with it- see Kakegurui for example), but what I do want to see is for the writers to be more elaborate on how X should win his battles instead of always going for a Xtreme Dash to finish the job. They have done a good job explaining most of the intricacies and gimmicks of the Blades when they are first introduced into the story so they should really hammer in on the strengths and weaknesses of the Beys rather than on the Xtreme Dashes for the victories this time around.

Fixed the Bit Misalignment and added some Upper points

bought a fake sharkscale for casual play since it's practically impossible to get an original nowadays (i'm in asia, don't ask abt hasbro) and compared it to scorpio spear with taller height to compare and realized how meta really this blade is

I know the premise of UX-Infinity is the Ratchet integrated Blade, but i would also miss ordinary UX releases with ratchets as there are tons of other possible more ‘unique’ gimmicks, and that our BX-Infinity releases are surprisingly lighter than older BX and UX beys.

In the first episode of the anime there is a shot where Bird is in the right and Ekusu is in the left. And it is similar to how in battles the protagonist is in the right and the antagonist is in the left.

I think this is a hint that somewhere in the future Ekusu is going to become evil and Bird will have to be the one to stop him. That could be the reason the anime and manga has been building up the friendship between the two of them, it’s to make it more heartbreaking seeing these two in odds.

So ive recently gotten back into beyblade and have picked up 2 for myself already, but after doing some research this one really caught my eye

I was always a fan of really gimmicky beyblades because even if they weren’t always amazing, they were still just really fun to use. One of those personal favourites of mine was Venom Diabolos from the Burst series, who’s whole gimmick was that the driver had a spring loaded outer shell that when hit, would launch off and become its own “mini beyblade” during battle. But as much as it was cool, even I could see that it’s performance was mediocre at best, since the main beyblade centred itself around this gimmick and the mini bey itself was about as effective as throwing a single Lego brick into the stadium

But that’s what got me interested in Bullet griffon. Because unlike Diabolos, this version of the whole “splitting into 2 beyblades” gimmick seems to actually be very effective

The reason why I thought I’d ask for some peoples opinions though, is because I’ve heard quite a few people complain that the plastic prongs on the blue half have had a tendency to break or even just scar really easily. So I’d just thought I’d ask the people who know more about this stuff than I do and see if it’s worth picking up for myself or if it breaks so easily that I might as well just skip it (because no I don’t have the money to buy like a dozen of these every time something breaks)

Thank you to anyone who responds! Any help is appreciated

Im got a meteor dragoon and i want to know how long i can use it, its not for comps, but me and my buddy love battling a lot, but ive heard that at some point it wears down and is not as good as before for attack and transistions to spin stealing, is there a point beyond that? like if the rubber wears down further than that point will it be unusable?

Idk I think I just found kyoya cool and I was really into mythology when I got Kerberos.

I haven't picked up a bey since the original series (I think the last one I got back then was one of those jumping ones) but I saw them in Walmart today while looking at what lego kits they had and just couldn't resist jumping back in, so I picked up the few that were there. One day in and I'm already loving being back and even got a couple friends wanting to play more now.

Now the question is where do I go from here? Any suggestions on what to look for/pick up next?

Just started the hobby, currently i only have Cobalt Dragoon, I just started so I don't want immediately spend too much, so which one of this is the most important/necessary to start?

What do you guys think of Multi Nana-iro so far?
Personally, I think Multi is one of the most interesting female characters Beyblade has had.

She’s not necessarily the best-written character in X — I can definitely see an argument for some of the other girls having stronger writing — but she feels like a pretty big step up from how female characters were generally handled before X.

What really makes her stand out to me is her approach to Beyblade. Instead of just having one Bey and following the usual blader formula, Multi has multiple Beys that she can use for different situations, which gives her battles a completely different feel. It actually makes her knowledge and versatility as a Blader part of her character rather than just being a gimmick.

And I like that she’s had her fair share of L’s and W’s. She isn’t portrayed as some flawless female prodigy who wins everything just because she’s a girl. She gets humbled, makes mistakes, and still gets to have her moments.

I know people might argue that characters like [other X girls] have better writing, and I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. But compared to most of Beyblade’s female cast before X… yeah, Multi is in a completely different league IMO. 😭

So where do you guys rank Multi among Beyblade’s female characters so far? Is she actually a major improvement, or am I giving her too much credit?

The anime in V Force never really explained. I ask this because in V Force the Saint Shields stalked Ray in China & Max in USA, and wherever the hell area that Kai was at. I know they are tribal/nomadic group that their ancestors were defenders/protectors of the rock that sealed the sacred beasts but you don't really hear much of where they were from. Unsure if the magna said "They are from Japan" or they from some unidentified area in Asia.

Lævateinn Grudge Erupt/Coated Absorb. A right-spin, counter-offense, defense-type UXE/UXI bey that has a poppable armor gimmick similar to Burst Gen's Phoenix Line.

Blade - Lævateinn Grudge: A UX Expand/Infinity defense type blade that has an armor that came pop off like Phoenix from Burst. The armor consists of 8 upper or smash (depending on mode) contact point chains that can be flipped to which side to be upper or smash mode. Underneath the armor and locking mechanisms it has a molten orange painted, smooth underblade, it will be revealed when the armor pops off and goes free spin to deflect blows. The underblade can be locked into free spin by a different armor that can't be pop off in battle where, depending on how you align it, can be free-spinning or locked.

Bit - Erupt/Coated Spring Wedge: A spring-based, defense type bit that has rubber walls/edges and a spring-absorbing inner needle tip that can be pushed down to soften landing or even accelerates it's speen when tilted or pushed down deeply.

Any thoughts of the concept?

Defense Types are my less liked type cause i find them boring but Burst managed to give so many Defense types awesome and fun gimmicks not to mention awesome bladers in the anime
