*This story does introduce new ideas.
*The Animation is a big downgrade compared to the previous Beyblade Series before it (Burst Franchise).
*So far my only favorite character is Multi. I do not think the characters are well rounded enough IMO. Bird just loses and X feels like a battle crazed idiot for Beyblade but not in a charming sort of way. Besides Multi the other characters don't feel realistically well rounded enough to my liking, they need big turning point to change my mind.
*I heavily dislike this series as of the moment. Needs a big turning point because 22 episodes in and the supposed main ... character bird hasn't won a battle. To me that is a big turn off otherwise they better give him the biggest character development in the world.

*I get very bored watching it, reminds me of beywheelz. at least shogun steel got me excited but this is snooze fest. Bring back metal and Burst series for this crap. they better have a big turning point otherwise this will be the most hated beyblade series.

****** IMO, lucky im a huge beyblade fan otherwise i would drop this show.

In the shows current state, it is absolutely the worst series this franchise has produced. Bird manages to be a worse main character than Aiga by being so laughably useless. There's zero stakes at all since you know he's always gonna lose, but Multi and X will ALWAYS win. This show took the great formula set up by burst, and completely mangled it. They kept the sports anime angle, but added so much unnecessary filler and social media BS that it's such a slog to sit through. In 9 episodes, this series manages to have less content than every other show before it. I am ... giving it a 1/10 for the time being as the current quality is unacceptable especially following Burst, but I hope that by the end this could AT LEAST be a 4 or a 5. In its current state however, there's just no meat to this.
