Returning characters run into similar but less problematic problems. Again, does nothing super wrong on her own, but her personality is a black hole of character. Hikaru is somewhat comparable to her, and while not great I can say Hikaru was a character with a personality, something I just can't say for Ren. I honestly feel it's kind of offensive to create a character so bland to represent such a huge demographic. She just shows up to fill in the waman quota with no effort to create an actual girl. And while they could've had an intersting Mentor-Student relationship, nothing is done with them.ДЇInally there is Eight amd Kite, who just exist with nothing memerable about them, aside from them introducing Syncrom Beys, which I will get into later.ДЄs for Ren, I feel they didn't even try with her. Is there a reason why Maru is so young? But more importantly, why replace Madoka? She appears frequently so all Maru does it take time away from a better character. I don't really mind Takanosuke as he represents the barely covered Kenta-Ryuga dynamic that was really interesting in Metal Fury, but like that he barely appears so again, I don't really care for him. Sakyo isn't a villain, but goes through a similar arc of losing to Zero that just feels forced and far less earned. Sakyo is something of a Ryuga to Zero, but they imitate him so much that I just keep on thinking how much better Ryuga was. I don't hate that they did something different, but give us something instead of nothing. He's strong, kinda cocky but not to the level of being a serious rival, he just kinda is Zero's friend with no actual conflict aside from a super friendly rivalry. For Shinobu I have no way to feel about him even even more than Zero. Kyoya was effective at being a fierce rival who is kind of a dick but does change and better himself over time. I don't care about a semi-competent Blader with a half-assed journey. Zero, on the other hand, has no discernible change to his character that I can find, other than the most basic 'I can't believe in myself' mantra that's neither his fault or really a genuine flaw as a person, which just makes me not care for him at all. Again, Gingka isn't the Gold Standard, but he grew from letting the 'loss' of his father dominate him in Metal Fusion and I still felt some changes in Metal Masters and Fury. This isn't terrible on it's own, but I don't automatically take any character beating him seriously as a result, and I can't take Zero seriously either.ДЄnother flaw of Zero is character development. In Metal Fusion the brilliantly showed Gingka defeating 100 Beybaldes in the very first episode, which showed us that he was something speial. He isn't like Yuma from Yugioh Zexal where the pointy of him losing was for him to grow as a duelist, but the characters TELL, not SHOW, me that Zero is super awesome, despite him losing against basically every main catheter for the first 10 episodes. He had a basic reason to arrive on the scene, and more importantly loses way too many times for me to take seriously. Gingka is by no means a ground breaking protagonist, but he was clearly shown to he a super OP guy with a mysterious reason for travelling. Now, this isn't the biggest problem as the old characters weren't great, but they were very good at what they needed to accomplish. And my god did it suck.ДЇirst of all, the characters. It showed a new world where both the old and new characters began to have new stories. On YouTube, I found episodes in a new series, Shogun Steel.

In 2018 I just realized that Beyblade existed and decided to rewatch the series and get into the community. Now around the time of Metal Fury I simply forgot in the series due to other events in my life and me leaving my Beyblades in a different country.

But at it's core, it was still a fun TV show with a good story and characters. One of the main joys of my Childhood was the first 3 Metal Series in Beyblade. Note: This is referring to the Anime Dub, so other versions might be better or worse
