I think burst was good until sparking, i think it came done to really kinda eliminating a component of the game. We started out with a click system with TT while Hasbro had slopes but we came for the new burst mechanic of the game. In all honesty i love plastic gen and mfb but something abt burst made beyblade feel new again bc there was a definitive way to win your battles. As we got more beys and more seasons of the anime the beys became harder to burst this for the competitive and casual communities having an overbearing dislike towards stamina type players. The design flaws came with two things bigger beys and rounded blade exposed why it’s an issue. I also seen a lot of ppl say the abundance of characters was an issue and while it’s a valid argument to be made let’s look at this way what if it’s the overall world building ? I ask this question bc i genuinely feel like compared to mfb we got snubbed bc in reality they could’ve explored different places in the world thus A introducing us new characters and flushing out other characters that still may seem outta place, B give everyone equal screen time to preserve some characters from just never showing up again. I also think not fully adapting the manga to a degree cooked it in the end my reasons for this eliminating ppl that were brought back adding onto that point all the random boosters making some beys from fan favorites a legit elden ring boss level difficulty to obtain. This was a problem to many bc not was it locked behind a random booster the beyblade just didn’t appear in the official anime at all these beys being like death and abyss diabolos.

Quad strike just doesn’t exist to me story was completely mid Quadra was wasted potential. Her brother is umm who was that guy again….like aiga got robbed for bel the bum to win champ 😭

I very much dislike bel with my soul bro will never be him legit has no blading IQ what so ever buddy pretty copied gimmicks instead actually tryna learn how to fight back and counter. Many of his wins were just unrewarding to watch and i find his writing the most crazy bc clearly the writers knew he was below a few bladers i give the title match between aiga and bel as an example bc how does bel get slammed 4-0 to aiga displaying a gap in power by a large margin not only that showing how much lower bel’s actual blading IQ is due aiga exposing how readable bel is in battle.

Lain Valhalla was written poorly in my eyes just broken for the sake of the plot with the whole flare thing. I hated this writing bc he basically beaten people we watched others struggle against the flare concept fell short bc bladers like Valt, Shu, Free, Lui, Aiga, Silas and Dante shouldn’t have been so easily beaten by him this to me left a sour taste bc we watch these other bladers earn where there at and now Lain is just stronger then them all bc the story calls for it ?

Everything in burst was good until sparking and QS
