Overanalyzing Ryuga and Kenta’s Travel Path in Metal Fury

So I’ve been wondering about this for a while. In episode 7, Ryuga and Kenta are in a place that I could tell was supposed to be in the Middle East considering the desert landscape and the look of the city and people:

And the fact that they named a blader “King Indus.” Of course, I don’t know how accurately they’re presenting the Middle East (since I’ve never been there), I could just tell it was what they were trying to present. However, I didn’t know where exactly in the Middle East this was until my friend @kaihitawari5977​ informed me in a chat that they’re in Mohenjo-Daro, a historical site is in Pakistan. The resemblance is there and rewatching the episode, they also say “Mohenjo village” at one point so it’s safe to assume that it’s canon that that’s where they are during the tournament in the first half of this episode.

The second half is where things get tricky. Ryuga and Kenta remain in a desert for the most part but there are a few points in the episode where they’re suddenly in a forest/jungle.

Pakistan is only about 2% jungle. I’d be willing to let this slide if these two didn’t end up in jungles every other jump cut. There’s also the fact that while in one of these jungles, they of course see a tiger so we can have this famous scene:

However, there are no tigers in Pakistan, they’re extinct in the wild. This could be the creators just not knowing jack about Pakistan and just including a tiger so Ryuga can look like a badass scaring one off. However, this show was created during the age of the Internet where stuff like this could easily be Googled. Plus, I’d like to give the show the benefit of the doubt so my guess is that in the second half of this episode, Ryuga and Kenta are in India. It shares a border with Pakistan and Mohenjo-Daro isn’t too terribly far from that border:

It also just makes more sense for this part of the episode. India has much more jungle than Pakistan (about 20% more), still has deserts, and tigers are endangered there so while encountering one might be rare, it’s not impossible and Ryuga and Kenta were in a very wild looking area. On top of that, mangoes grow there :

Yeah they grow in Pakistan too but they grow more in India. Plus I just wanted to show this picture of Ryuga eating a mango. It’s cute :)

Now onto the next episode: Showdown at The Tower of Babel! This episode for sure takes place in Iraq, as that’s where the Tower of Babel is. However, that does present a bit of a problem:

As you can see, Iraq is quite a ways away from India and Pakistan, especially considering Ryuga and Kenta were travelling on foot. It would take weeks. Beyblade is pretty vague about the passage of time and Ryuga is kind of insane so it’s not impossible. Plus, Ryuga can debatably teleport.

Speaking of which, the next time we see Ryuga and Kenta is in the Beyster Island tournament. Beyster Island is clearly based on Easter Island and… well…

Yeah, Ryuga being able to teleport isn’t completely canon. It’s never directly stated how Ryuga is able to disappear and reappear in flashes of lightning the way he does and sure, it’s silly and you can come up with explanations that aren’t teleportation. In my opinion however, it is the only explanation for how he and Kenta went from the Middle East to Easter Island, which is pretty much on the other side of the world. They were not seen taking the boat like the others were and there didn’t seem to be any other way to get there. Plus, this is how they appear there:

Unlike some of the other times Ryuga teleports, this doesn’t seem like it can be a trick. So Ryuga somehow knew about the Beyster Island tournament and decided to go there on his search for the Legendary Bladers. It’s ridiculous but it makes more sense than Ryuga and Kenta crossing an ocean on foot.

Then finally, we see Ryuga and Kenta in The God of Destruction’s Revival, seemingly in walking distance from the Mayan Temple where Nemesis is revived as they get there only an episode after the others do. That temple is in Mexico meaning after the Beyster Island tournament, Ryuga and Kenta went to the mainland and ended up in Mexico.

So in conclusion, Ryuga and Kenta’s travel path looks something like this:

With the red lines being walked distance and the black lines being teleported distance. Obviously these locations are approximate and doesn’t account for anywhere they might have gone off-screen. This combined with the fact that in Masters, Ryuga visited Italy and the United States makes me think Ryuga either abuses his semi-canon teleporting skills or Doji’s credit card had a crap ton of money on it. Either way, he’s cheating at life.

I love him <3
