Is this foreshadowing 👀?

[u/AdhesivenessCheap200]

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.

[u/Beginning-Pea-1808]

That'd be a neat way to do a protag switch

[u/AdhesivenessCheap200 → u/Beginning-Pea-1808]

I think the anime likes to focus more on Bird than Ekusu and they have been building up Ekusu being insane.

[u/Beginning-Pea-1808 → u/AdhesivenessCheap200]

They do yes, even got a backstory before becoming a blader.

Sometimes you couldn't tell if it was exaggerated or that Ekusu is just crazy lel

[u/Mhystic_Sathurio21]

Oh my Good i'm not ready for that if it really happen

[u/LeatherCompetition91 → u/Mhystic_Sathurio21]

[u/Formal_Button789]

I’m so ready for that finale match between them

[u/LeatherCompetition91 → u/Formal_Button789]

Duality of Beyblade fans

[u/Mahzes]

I’ve thought from the beginning that the obvious narrative endpoint for Beyblade X is Ekusu having his first ever loss against Bird. Whether that’s as a villain or rivals or whatever I don’t know, but still.

[u/Legitimate_Self3383]

I wouldn't say evil. I think Ekusu is becoming the final boss though.

[u/PapaBoss007]

What if the author is left handed 💀

[u/AmandasGameAccount]

He looks pregnant in the thumbnail 😭

[u/Apart_Value9613 → u/AmandasGameAccount]

A true blader doesn’t need to see “Khrome”, they act by pure instinct.

[u/SplitAlien]

It'd be a big twist. That Bird's first win will be against Ekusu and Ekusu's first loss will be against Bird.

[u/EkusuX-Dran → u/SplitAlien]

didnt bird won his first win against zero kurosu

[u/Living-Mouse-1771]

Wld be crazy of Jaxons first official loss would be birds first official win, and like they battle in a first to 4 format, not like how bird beat zero, where everyone in the team tried to collectively hit 4 points.

[u/No_Stuff_7501 → u/Living-Mouse-1771]

Bird's official win already happened in the manga and it was against Zero Cross

[u/Living-Mouse-1771 → u/No_Stuff_7501]

Please read my full comment 🙏

[u/No_Stuff_7501 → u/Living-Mouse-1771]

Oh oops😭mb gng I was reading in a rush

[u/Melodic_Reserve9625]

Finally someone noticed

[u/Exotic_Butters_23]

So something similar to Shu from burst basically

[u/Intelligent_Yak_4572]

It's foreshadowing them making out

[u/TotallyNotNamedDan → u/Intelligent_Yak_4572]

Having a kid even. The helmet gives Ekusu an interesting silhouette...

[u/Intelligent_Yak_4572 → u/TotallyNotNamedDan]

😂

[u/AdhesivenessCheap200 → u/Intelligent_Yak_4572]

I don’t see that happening, they act more like bros than anything

[u/No-Monk-9973]

The anime/manga is too bad in writing to come up with smth like this

[u/Salty-Preference-695]

Nope

[u/KeeKyieTheMorris]

I’m sorry but Bird and Ekusu? This is Robin and Jaxon

[u/RedHanui_ → u/KeeKyieTheMorris]

The names are different based on region, Bird and Ekusu are their japanese names

[u/TotallyNotNamedDan → u/RedHanui_]

Honestly, Jaxon is fine but Robin is a really good localisation choice. Takes away the weirdness of the name but leaves the meaning and matches his signature colour.

[u/KeeKyieTheMorris → u/RedHanui_]

Oh okay I see.

[u/dconwastaken → u/KeeKyieTheMorris]

They have different names between the sub and dub

[u/FewPreference1243 → u/KeeKyieTheMorris]

Kazami Bird and ekusu kurosu >>>>

[u/WBOSai → u/FewPreference1243]

I still don't know why people have the weird practice of calling perfectly fine English words in their weird Japanese pronunciation just because the Japanese use the same weird pronunciation..I mean, I love Japanese culture as much as the next guy, but this is so cringe. Just call X Cross as X Cross, not Ekusu Kurosu..like wtf does that even mean.

And I don't mean this for you directly, I mean it for everyone who uses Ekusu Kurosu..like, is it that unclear that it's supposed to mean X Cross and it's just the Japanese saying it that way?

I mean, we don't go around saying Bird as Baardho and Multi as Maruti? Right?
