More thoughts on Beywarriors: Cyborg
1.) I got around to finally watching the first episode. It does kind of make the show more interesting a pitch to watch and clarifies a lot of the extent of the unusual high concepts present in what was ostensibly a Beyblade franchise show. All in all, itā€™s not that different in general feeling from D.I.C.E. another merchandise-driven show with seemingly out of place high concept ideas. Whereas Beywarriors has energy politics, D.I.C.E. had the philosophical implications of physical immortality.
2.) All in all, the pilot was kind of likable and remarkably well-executed, outlining the main motivations of the characters, all while hammering home how most of the Beybattlers are motivated by an overarching ideology. Sunburst and Flame are driven by aspirations of hegemony with claims as rightful rulers of the entire planet. Stone wants to escape its crushing poverty. Lightning wants to expand into the deserts through terraforming.
3.) Given how innocuous the State of Lightningā€™s national ideology is (expand into the surrounding land that nobody else seems to want), it kind of hammers home that theyā€™re clearly meant to be the good guy faction. And they are also farm folk, which explains their down-to-earth aw shucks demeanor.
4.) From the get go, there appears to be plenty of development from the initial set of battlers that arenā€™t the Bladebreakers Lite Lightning Crew. Ā Heck, even initially it seems that Sola and Al have more (albeit pigeonholed) character depth. Apparently, Al is the Tyson of this group, Solaā€™s the gadgeteer genius and practically Dr. Prostā€™s lab assistant, and Nico is a teenage everyman who takes care of his *workaholic grandpa.
5.) There might actually be a plot relevant reason why Nico is both bland and the hero. The Beywarriors (the bit beast thingamabobs) work best when synced, which reaches its optimum when the Beybattler is in an ideal mental state. Nico syncs that well with Dragoon the first time aroundĀ specifically because he is level-headed from the get-go.Ā 
6.) From my understanding, the greater scope villain is a Teslandian native while the human Teslandians are colonists who thought the planet was abandoned. If it were the case, itā€™d be fair to say that he thinksĀ the humans are squattersĀ that must be evicted. I stand corrected. The villains are planet-jackers.
7.) *Yeah, Iā€™m starting to think the single-mindedness bit is genetic to the Prost family.
8.) They were savvy enough to suggest that the merchandiseĀ ā€œmay just be childrenā€™s toysā€ on the onset.Ā

Me when MFB ended. Just do what I did and watch the original series, realize you finished it, give Beywheelz a try, then watch Beyraiderz, then get mad that Beywarriors Cyborg is lost media, then go searching for it for years, lose hope, then start checking for any possible updates on the existence of Cyborg every single day by sorting by new on multiple sites (Tumblr, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube), and then in the last glimmer of hope hijack other peopleā€™s posts in hopes that someone that knows anything about Cyborg sees this
fun fact itā€™s called beyblade because

Sola-BeyWarriors Cyborg
She is the main female in this series, Iā€™m yet to watch the show but I think her design looks cute. I struggled a bit with the the outfit in the half body drawing but then I found a lot easier to draw in the full body style. I plan on watching the show to at least see what the battles are like, I like the character designs but the battles will be the deciding factor for me.

Rewatching Beywarriors Cyborg (link here and everyone should watch it)Ā I noticed parallels between Gai and Flameā€™s battlers. The obvious parallels for both are with August (Gai and August serving Bran, and Sunburst vs Flame being the main conflict for almost half of the series). However, Stone and Flame both had rulers who the battlers didnā€™t like. With Lightning, the battlers liked their leader, and Sunburstā€™s king was also their main battler. But with Stone and Flame, the battlers went against their leadersā€™ wishes
Both Vargas nor Elder Stone (we donā€™t get his name in the series, but thatā€™s what heā€™s called in casting) lose the loyalty of their battlers. In the case of Gai, this is a mistake on Gaiā€™s part. Elder Stone didnā€™t do him any favors, but he made it clear from the start that Stone didnā€™t have the resources to help Gai, so he gave Gai the equivalent of thoughts and prayers and only confronted him when Gai invaded Hydro (which couldā€™ve provoked a war)
With Vargas, the battlers were right to turn on him. General Vargas actively worsened things for Flame when he challenged Sunburst to aĀ ā€œfinalā€ battle, knowing he was risking Flameā€™s tokens. Then he scheduled the battle too soon, even though his battlers had just fought and needed time to recover. When Flame started to lose, he ran away instead of keeping his end of the deal (a terrible deal, but one he insisted on himself), and left the battlers to their own devices. And then when they lost (due to Vargas being shit at planning), he blamed the battlers. And then he decided to flood half of Flame with lava because itā€™d also weaken Sunburst. Heā€™s up there with Bran in terms of villainy, but without any of Branā€™s intelligence (or manipulation skills)
Why did Bran lure Gai first? Because of all the battlers he was at the lowest point. Why was that? Because Gai was alone. When Gai lost, he had no one to help him back up. When any other battler lost, they had a teammate that could fight the next battle while they recovered. Even without the other battlers, everyone had support other than Gai. Flameā€™s battlers lose? Homura stands up for them. Lightning loses? Sora and Dr. Prost are right there to help. Sunburst loses? August is their king. Thereā€™s an entire nation there for him. Gai loses? Nobodyā€™s there for him, and when he goes back to Stone, they tell him to give up. In addition, Gai knows heā€™s at a disadvantage. Flame has military training and a crew right there to provide support. Lightning has Dr. Prost, who, outside of Hydro, has the most knowledge on how the warriors work. Sunburstā€™s battlers have the entire country at their disposal. Gai has himself
Gai saw no reason to listen to Elder Stone. He never did anything for him, and Elder Stone wasnā€™t there for Gaiā€™s battles, so if Gai loses his support, thereā€™s no difference. With Flame, itā€™s similar. They donā€™t need Vargas to support them, but in their case, itā€™s not that their leader isnā€™t there for them. Their leader is Homura. Vargas is the only leader who actively hinders the efforts of his own battlers. The true leader of Flameā€™s battlers, from their very first battle, was Homura

I recently found out that the Beywarriors: Cyborg English dub has surfaced and I urge everyone to watch it. Considering the only other way I found to watch it was with subtitles in Mandarin and Japanese audio, this is much better (I used the Google Translate appā€™s camera feature to translate subtitles and that worked but was less than ideal)
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKlUqanVMOCAbcz8Qv5wUItw70skH2FWg
Now that I can actually understand the dialogue without poor translations, I have more thoughtsĀ on it. Iā€™ll put the well thought out ideas (like the fact that this has an overtly political message about nationalism and climate change) on another post, so here have everything else
Commander Homura gives me gender envy
Boyle and Homura give off a very specific kind of vibe. Like Homura has mom energy and Boyle has dad energy but they donā€™t give couple energy (and much less divorced energy)
Considering Nicoā€™s name references Nikola Tesla, Al references Thomas Alva Edison, and they live on Teslandia, I have reason to believe other characters have similar naming conventions, but I canā€™t find them
King Augustā€™s ship is a Lucius class. His full name is August Claudius Lucius. Manā€™s ship is named after his family (they never say when it was created so it could be named after him, his dad, his grandfather, or any prior ancestor)
The music that plays when August arrives at the final battle is amazing. The whole ost is as good as mfbā€™s
Vargas really thought that publicly stating his plan involves making half of his own country uninhabitable wouldnā€™t be a highly unpopular thing
I want Homuraā€™s earrings
Sunburstā€™s whole thing (when compared to Stone specifically) is that they get to bask in the sun all day while the people of Stone are forced to live underground. And yet Sunburstā€™s ruler is the pastiest mf on the show
Vargas is a piece of shit that everyone hates, but his speech before Sunburst fought Flame the first time was great (this may be an intentional nod to how bad leaders can sway people through their public speaking skills. Or it may be a coincidence)
We never get the name of Flameā€™s new ruler. But we get the name of the 2 recurring extras on Flameā€™s ship
We never get the name of Augustā€™s father or grandfather
Ramon projects the lore to the other characters the same way Dynamis does
Evil Getsu, Taiyo Cyclops, and Henge Gargoyle have fur. It looks uncanny when compared to the completely metal (and whatever material lightsabers are made of) construction of the other warriors
Why didnā€™t Hasbro make toys of this. They did make Beywarriors, but those were a different thing based on Shogun Steel. I mean I want my Torch Fireblaze and Sabre Lion action figures
If I had a nickel for every time that kid from Stone was trapped in a cave in and saved by Gai, Iā€™d have 2 nickels

Hello, I saw your post from like a year ago regarding beyblade soundtracks and how Catch A Cannonball by White Pony is considered lost media. I was looking for the song at the time, which is how I found your post, but I knew I had the original CD it comes from somewhere in my apartment. Long story short, I found it and have uploaded it to youtube. Tumblr hates links but you should be able to search for it. Channel name is KTP. Let me know if you can't find it. Lost no longer!
I found it. Between this, Beywarriors Cyborg, and Hang On the last few years have been great for Beyblade lost media
The song's great, but I'm honestly perplexed by its existence being seemingly limited to a Beyblade CD despite never being featured in the anime

I was thinking about how later Burst seasons being shorter really hurt them until I realized Beywarriors Cyborg is also 26 episodes long (technically 28 with 2 of them being prequel episodes)
Metal Fury being shorter hurt it because it came out of nowhere. The anime staff couldn't plan for it. Sure, the final stretch of Fury may be one of my favorite arcs, but so many characters who felt like they would get more focus towards the end didn't (Tithi, Chris, Bao, the other Nemesis bladers)
Beywheelz and Shogun Steel are both very similar in how they handled being shorter. Beywheelz had a smaller cast (15 named characters only), while Shogun Steel made sure every character was tied to the main plot (unlike previous mfb seasons, where Teru, Sora, Lovushka, and Jigsaw weren't involved with it). I'd say it worked better for Beywheelz, but both still tried to cram too much content in too little runtime
After Beywheelz tried lightning-fast pacing, Beyraiderz decided to make the main cast even smaller: 7 bladers and 3 non-bladers (only 2 of which are important). The problem? It dragged on for longer than it should. Beywheelz wasn't fast because of the number of characters, but because of the number of plot points it has (face Dominators in 2v2, get more members before Judgement Bey, fight at Judgement Bey, stop the portal). Beyraiderz only has 2 of these (revive sacred beasts, defeat Kaiser Grey)
GT's first half presents a unique way of handling the shorter runtime by doing something only longer seasons dared to do: introducing characters and dropping them soon after. Is it a good solution? Not in the slightest. Joe and Lodin should've showed up at Battle Island. Fumiya, Pheng, and Lodin should've been more important after Arthur shows up. The second half is better about this, hyper-focusing on 4 characters (Dante, Arman, Delta, and Gwyn), with a handful of supporting characters who don't get much focus (Blindt, Aiger, and Arthur)
Sparking did the Beyraiderz thing with a larger cast. There are 10 main bladers (Ultimate Tag Series competitors), 4 non-main bladers (Wakiya and the rest of the Comets) and 3 non-bladers (Hanami and the MCs' parents). There are 2 tournaments, the Legend Festival and the Ultimate Tag Series. From the beginning of the season, we know where we're headed (Legend Festival). After that, we have a short time where beys are upgraded and they show off their new abilities before introducing the Ultimate Tag Series, that goes on for the rest of the season. Did this work? Kinda. It prevents the plot from feeling overstuffed and no characters are suddenly dropped, but the plot also has very little depth because of it
DB does something. It presents several barely-connected arcs and we go straight from one to the other. We go from challenging Bell at his house, to Bell meeting BC Sol, to the Great Aerial Tour, to the 3v3 match, to Ultimate Valkyrie, to Phenomeno Payne, to the finale and the transitions are all very jarring. When Cho-Z did this (Luinor Cup to Battleship Cruise to title matches to the Dread Tower), it gave us a narrative throughline for us to follow (corrupted resonance). Despite the transitions being jarring, we still have something showing us the plot progression, while in DB I couldn't tell you what the plot is about if I tried
So that brings me to Beywarrios Cyborg. What did that do? Well, the cast consists of 11 bladers, and 9 non-bladers (not counting the prequels). There are only 2 main plot points on a large scale (get tokens, stop Bran), but on a smaller scale, there is much more going on. Getting tokens is as simple as winning a few battles, but each character has a different reason for doing so, and these conflicting reasons also change character dynamics. Stopping Bran requires getting Gai and August to turn on him, adding 2 smaller steps before reaching the main goal

Mayblade day 10: song (reminder that Nickelback was once featured on officialĀ Beyblade merch)
Nelvana and Hasbro decided they wanted to make Beyblade be more than just spinning tops with a tie-in anime series. After several attempts, I think they kinda gave up because non of them were successful. Beywheelz, Beyraiderz, and Beywarriors all flopped (despite some cool ideas). Their trading card game back in the og series is so obscure that I canā€™t get any info on it besidesĀ ā€œit existedā€ andĀ ā€œit seems poorly thought out.ā€ And at one point they got into music. After finding this YouTube playlist with Beyblade songs (openings, endings, the dub insert songs, etc), I noticed that for some reason it included How You Remind Me by Nickelback, California by Phantom Planet, and an AMV. After some research, I found that those songs were released on official Beyblade CDā€™s back in 2001-2002. So Iā€™m gonna give some thoughts on every single song in that playlist in the context of Beyblade (also to make up for yesterdayā€™s shorter post since I didnā€™t have much time)
Normally I'd add a cut here but my laptop's still broken and I don't know enough about the Tumblr app to use it properly
Catch a Cannonball by White Pony: This song is considered lost media and if anyone can find it please DM me or something
Letā€™s Beyblade by Sick Kid ft Lukas Rossi: The original series English dun opening. Itā€™s very early 2000ā€²s and serves as an opening pretty well. I just wish there was an extended/ full version
Fighting Spirits by System-B: As a standalone opening, itā€™s pretty good. As far as Beyblade goes, itā€™s wildly different than any opening weā€™ve gotten since, which makes it stand out even more
Cheer Song by System-B: Not sure how I feel about the song itself, but if it works for anything, itā€™s as an ED. Also, itā€™s so different from Fighting Sprits that I had a hard time believing they were both made by System-B
Beyblade by Giorgio Vanni: The Italian opening for the first season. The combination of rock with what sounds like bells(?) later in the song create a weird but interesting feel to it. AlsoĀ ā€œBoy-bladeā€ is such a stupid pun that it had to have been made ironically, right. Right?
OFF THE CHAIN by TOSS & TURN: Song is a banger. I have no idea who thought itā€™d fit Beyblade as an opening. Love how itā€™s in ALL CAPS. Also I donā€™t speak a word of Japanese but thereā€™s enough English that I can kinda guess what the song is trying to say
URBAN LOVE by Shiori: Another song in all caps, this time as an ED. While Iā€™m normally not a fan of less energetic songs, this is pretty good
Jet by Fairy Fore: The scream at the beginning of the song makes you think youā€™re gonna get a much harder song than the first verse. And the it slowly ramps up until by the end, youā€™re back to the same energy as the beginning. Brilliant
Whatā€™s the Answer? by Retro G Style: Like OFF THE CHAIN, there is just enough English for me to get a vague idea of what the song is about. I like it, but wish that they had used the song by Retro G Style in G-Revolution for obvious reasons
Beyblade vforce by Giorgio Vanni: IMO a nice improvement over the first Italian opening, but goddamnĀ ā€œBoy-bladeā€ is still here. Why?
Poroporo by Hana Hana: The ED for the V-Force movie. Every other beat is out of tune but itā€™s done on purpose so I canā€™t consider it a flaw. It grew on me over time but the decision to be out of tune on purpose is still weird
Victory by Dynamite SHU: I couldnā€™t find official information on the artist but someone said Victory was performed by Dynamite SHU so Iā€™m rolling with it for now. Also it may be called Victory or Victoria. Itā€™s unclear. Itā€™s also part of the V-Force movie soundtrack and honestly I think itā€™d make a better ED than Poroporo, if only because Poroporo isnā€™t really enjoyable on your first listen (even if it really grown on you later)
Go Ahead by Motoko Kumai: Amazing OP for G-Revolution. Probably my favorite from Bakuten Shoot. It gets you pumped for the episode and it fits the tone of early G-Rev perfectly
Oh Yes!! by Sista with Yuka: As an ED, itā€™s pretty good. Itā€™s also a great way to conclude the early episodes of G-Rev
Kaze no Fuku Basho by Makiyo: Somehow manages to be an improvement over Oh Yes!! while also fitting the middle portion of G-Rev better
Identified by Springs: Finally we learn that the G in G-Revolution stands for Good. Itā€™s also the perfect OP to end the original series on
Sign of Wish by Makiyo: Like Identified is the perfect OP to end on, Sign of Wish is the perfect ED to conclude the original series. I know that the last episode used Kaze no Fuku Basho for the epilogue, but Sign of Wish was perfect for the BEGA arc, itself a great conclusion to the original story
Never Gonna Take Me Down by Anthony Vanderburgh: Iā€™ve been fighting every night an day. Iā€™m gonna do my best to put you away. Itā€™s perfect for more friendly but intense (like most of the minor battles in tournament arcs). Like most of the dub insert songs, theyā€™re bangers but sadly misused
Round After Round by Jason Dean Bennison: Like Never Gonna Take Me Down, itā€™s perfect for battles where both bladers want nothing more than to just fight each other
All Across the Nation by The Black Europeans: The fact that this was used for any battle in the season 1 tournaments (you know, the ones with multiple countries) is weird, but the song itself is still good
Letā€™s Go Beybladers by Krystal Band: The vocals have this strange quality to them, like the musical equivalent of a 2004 homemade video project made by a high school student. Objectively bad but charming in its own way
Swing Low by Jason Dean Bennison: The vocals feel out of place, but damn that bass is epic. Also you can kinda hear samples from Fighting Spirits in the background (thatĀ ā€œDORAIGAā€ scream is hard to miss after a few listens)
Underdog by Mudd: In all honesty itā€™s a shame Mudd didnā€™t go one to have more success after Beyblade. Underdog was great
Always Be In the Game by Jason Dean Bennison: Normally Iā€™m not a fan of rap vocals over rock instrumentation but Jason pulled it off. Not sure how or why, but it works
Switchblade by Lenz: Good song but someone messed up when they rereleased it. Also the contrast between the music and the lyrics in the chorus is fairly specific. Maybe it was written to be a character theme?
Hang On by Chris Szczesniak and Mike Dunca: It took 20 years for this song to be released. Amazing bass, amazing vocals, and I canā€™t think of a song that better fits Kai vs Brooklyn (the time where Kai wins, that is)
Rise Above the Storm by Daniel LeBlanc and Creighton Doane: Oddly uplifting yet very energetic. When I say this is one of the most uplifting songs Iā€™ve ever heard, I am not exaggerating
Iā€™m Not Going Down by Jonathan Evans and Gerard Tevlin: If Hang On fits Kai vs Brooklyn, then Iā€™m Not Going Down fits Tyson vs Brooklyn. Itā€™s just a powerful declaration of victory, being the musical embodiment of that final battle
Start the Circus by Far From Heroes: Good song but I donā€™t see what it has to do with Beyblade. Still a banger
Cinderella by Adam Crossley with 9 Point Landing: Just like Start the Circus, a banger that is completely unrelated to Beyblade
What the Girls Say by Jennesy: For a show with such a skewed gender ratio for characters, this song feels extremely out of place. Itā€™s good, but manages to feel moreĀ ā€œoffā€ than Cinderella
Running Away by Project Wyze: A friend of mine likes to say that early 2000ā€²s music was 80% pop rock and 10% rap metal. Running Away is part of that 10% and it is the perfect example of what rap metal is. If you like rap metal, youā€™ll like this song. If you donā€™t like rap metal, you wonā€™t like this song
Let It Rip by Ego Massive: It truly relates to Beyblade and it isnā€™t an insert song. Iā€™m surprised. The song itself is alright, but pales in comparison to some others
Split the Atom by Edwin and the Pressure: Great song. Unrelated to Beyblade. Iā€™m starting to notice a trend
Pretty Girls by Prozzak: Good song and I have though the glass break sound effect was real and in my house on one occasion
Girls & Boys by Good Charlotte: This song is 50% less out of place than What the Girls Say
Year 3000 by Busted: Possibly a warm take, but the Jonas Brothersā€™ cover of the song was a downgrade
Buck Rogers by Feeder: I first heard this song playing Gran Turismo and forever associate it with that game. I canā€™t judge the song on its own because of that
Movies by Alien Ant Farm: Honestly itā€™s probably the weakest song that released on that CD. Itā€™s not bad per se, but itā€™s less good than the rest
Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus: Hit early 2000ā€²s song that was shoehorned into Beyblade merch and honestly, it wasnā€™t a bad idea
Nothing by A: GoogleĀ ā€œA Nothingā€ and see if you find this song. Other than that, itā€™s great. Love it
How You Remind Me by Nickelback: Itā€™s Nickelback. Thatā€™s all there is to say. Take that how you will
California by Phantom Planet: If only Beyblade saw the US as more than New York and Las Vegas (and later, Moab, Utah). The west coast isnā€™t even acknowledged. Had they made one of the characters be from California (like any of the All-Starz), this wouldā€™ve been more fitting
Metal Saga by Clifton David: While the English OP for mfb isnā€™t bad, it feels like a remix of the Japanese OP, but without being different enough to stand out
Metal Fight Beyblade by YU+KI: YU+KI did an amazing job in every season of mfb, and the first opening is no exception
Boys ~To the Radiant Tomorrow~ by MASH: I thought Boys was the artist for far longer than I should. Itā€™s a great ED, and has IMO some of the strongest visuals for a Beyblade ED even though itā€™s very simple
Beyblade Metal Fusion by unknown artist: I donā€™t know who made the Italian opening for Fusion but it was pretty good
Galaxy Heart by YU+KI: It takes everything that made Metal Fight Beyblade good an multiplies it tenfold. Absolutely amazing
Oozora wo Koete Yuje by Odoriba Soul: Pretty good ED. It kinda gives me similar vibes as Oh Yes!! but Iā€™m not sure why
Beyblade Metal Masters by unknown artist: An improvement over the Italian Fusion opening, taking it from good to great
Spinning the World by Noa: Love it. Great ED for the Sol Blaze movie. Probably on the same tier as Kaze no Fuku Basho for me
Kokoro no Yuki by YU+KI: the 4d opening slaps even harder than Galaxy Heart
Destiny by YCHRO: Just like Kokoro no Yuki managed to outdo Galaxy Heart, Destiny managed to outdo Oozora wo Koete Yuke. God 4d had great music (if only it wasnā€™t a shortened season)
Shine On by unknown artist: Absolute banger. Thatā€™s all I have to say about it besides that the artist deserves to actually be credited
Let It Rip by The Lodge: I did not expect bars of this level from a song made for a toy commercial. Even though the dub adding rap in anime is usually an unpopular decision, this was good
Game Changer by the Lodge: Another banger
To the Extreme by the Lodge: Why couldnā€™t the XTS toyline go as hard as this song?
Deploy and Destroy: This song is great and makes Stealth Battlers seem a lot cooler than they were irl
Own the Dome: Somehow a team of people got Hasbroā€™s worst stadium ever, and made the best commercial out of it. And part of that has to do with this absolute bop of a song
Stunt, Race, Crash by the Lodge: Like To the Extreme, Deploy and Destroy, and Own the Dome, this was a great song that advertised a terrible product
Zero-G Bey! Go! by YU+KI: Iā€™d rank it between Metal Fight Beyblade and Galaxy Heart. Itā€™s good, but not as much as the previous Japanese OPs (granted the bar was pretty damn high)
Looking Up Smiling (We Go!) by YCHRO: It manages to be just barely better than Destiny, which is pretty impressive
Beyblade: Shogun Steel by Sugar High Bunny Punch: Does it fit Beyblade? Not really. Is it good? Maybe not great, but better than Iā€™ve seen people give it credit for
Let the Games Begin by Arunachal: The Beywheelz OP that was used for the English and Japanese versions alike. Like the English OP for Shogun Steel, I think itā€™s better than given credit for. Although like Beywheelz, it pales in comparison to the other seasons
A Better Place by Jonathan Evans: One of the guys behind Iā€™m Not Going Down makes his return. A Better Place is a pretty good ED< even if it doesnā€™t stand out
Beyraiderz Theme by iSH and Nicholas Walsh: Iā€™ll be honest the chorus is the only part I like from this. The rest is serviceable as an opening, but I wouldnā€™t call it good
Come Around by SPACEMAN MUSIC: I like Come Around, and consider it an improvement over A Better Place, but I donā€™t think it fits Beyraiderz as a season
Beywarriors: Cyborg by unknown artist: A better OP than Beyraiderz, but still a tad below Let the Games Begin
Hold Tight by unknown artist: Like anything relating to Beywarriors, the artist name is hard to find. Itā€™s a strange ED, but I canā€™t put my finger on why. Like Poroporo, itā€™s interesting, even if Iā€™m not sure whether I like it
Burst Finish! by Tatsuyuki Kobayashi: A good OP that fits the first season of Burst. Itā€™s great
Believe by SHIKURAMEN: The only Burst ED to get a full version, and itā€™s certainly deserving of it. Like Burst Finish! it fits the first season of Burst perfectly
Our Time by Steven Allerick Chen: A great opening in par with Burst Finish
Battle Above My League by Fenwick & the Futures: The instrumentation is ok I guess. The vocals have this weird feel to them, like lofi but not really. Like Poroporo and Hold Tight, this song interests me because I donā€™t quite understand what Iā€™m hearing
Evolution Burst! by unknown artist: The Beyblade Burst God OP is great. I'd call it the best of Japanese Burst openings but Cho-Z exists, making Evolution Burst! a worthy second
Beyxercise by SeƱor Hanami: If we ignore the visuals in the ED (so no Markiplier dancing), it goes from hilariously good to just regular good. The beat is catchy, but the vocals really make this song. It's performed by Hanami's VA, which makes that last "BASUTO FINISHU" so much better
Beyxercise 2 by SeƱor Hanami: It's Beyxercuse but again. The beat is different, and a bit of a slightly downgrade, but everything else is as good as the original Beyxercise
Evolution by Dave Vives and Steven Pagano: It's a great opening. Not much to say other than it's really good
Made for This by Vaski and Ian Everson: Amazing. Absolutely amazing. It's hard not to sing along and go "We were made for this"
Chouzetsu Muteki Blader by Ryosuke Sasaki: Easily one of my favorite Beyblade openings ever. Everything about it is fantastic
Bey-Pop! by Shun Kusakawa: Catchy and cheery is the best way to describe this. Lovely song
Bey-Pop Swing! by Shun Kusakawa: It's Bey-Pop bit more energetic. Still catchy and cheery, but with a tad bit more excitement
Turbo by Nate Wants to Battle: Best of the English OP's according to many, and a very close second best in my personal ranking. Nathan Sharp has delivered everything one could ask for from an opening
Gatti'n'Roll by unknown artist: I genuinely dkn't know why anyone though this was a good idea. I guess they thought they couldn't beat Chouzetsu Miteki Blader at its win game and went in the opposite direction, being very cheery rather than adrenaline-pumping. For what it's trying to be, it's pretty good. It just doesn't really work as an OP
Rise by Jonathan Young: IMO the best English opening in all of Beyblade. Jonathan Young made a high-energy OP that gets you pumped for the anime. Also his JJBA OP covers are great
Journey Into Tomorrow by Tony Rodini: I have a hard time deciding between this and Made for This for which is the best eyecatcher theme. Journey Into Tomorrow is just as good as Made for This and Made for This was great
Sparking Revolution by unknown artist: Not a bad OP but it doesn't really stand out. It's good, but it's just "there"
We Got the Spin by Konrad OldMoney and Johnny Gr4ves: Like Gatti'n'Roll, they were trying to go in the opposite direction of the previous opening. However, GT was a more lighthearted and comedic season, while Sparking is more serious than its predecessor. This means that to fit the season, we'd need something as intense as Rise, or at least Evolution, and instead we get this. And unlike the original series or mfb using rap on occasions, We Got the Spin lacks the energy present in songs like Shine On and Always Be In the Game
Clash! Dynamite Battle! by NORISTRY: Great opening. Probably my second favorite Japanese Burst OP behind Muteki Blader
We're Your Rebels by Nate Wants to Battle: Massive step up from We Got the Spin, and it's just what we expected from the guy that made Turbo
