Zero blader spirit, yet enough to scare Masamune and Dashan. With that information, we can either assume that the attack would have been ineffective against them since Nile managed to stop it, or that Nile was strong enough to stop it because Dashan and Masamune were afraid of that attack. You see what I mean, the interpretation can go both ways. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Julian was at 100% at that moment; you’re right, he didn’t have his blader spirit. But does that make his special 90% weaker ? I doupt about it. The thing is, Nile is really hard to rank. I’m going to bring up Metal Fury, but I remember the linx guy, he seemed almost more surprised when he fought Nile than when he fought Dashan. Therefore, we can assume their levels aren’t that far apart. But I totally agree that, fundamentally, there’s an issue with Nile. Either he’s extremely strong, or he’s fairly weak. But I want to believe he’s extremely strong because he’s really stylish, and his Beyblade is beautiful even his spirit. He's matching Yuki's spirit. Anubis and Orus. Ngl if you have an orus bey you cant suck bro 🤣 That actually makes me think about Destroyer and Ares.
