*G A S P*

Hi. I finished something :D

This was actually supposed to be Mayblade 2024 but I got busy and completely forgot about it. I started working on it again in Sept slowly... and then I got covid in Oct and lost motivation. Finally finished in Nov lmao

Knight Kai and knight Yuriy/Tala. I've been wanting to dress them up in fantasy clothes.

Naah but the TyKa and SasuNaru are so freaking similar I can't —

When Kai went rogue in Beyblade and G-Revolutions, Tyson was like, "No, he's not bad. I know him." And in G-Rev he was just SURE that Kai will return and he will get him back (we can see it!)

When Sasuke goes rogue Naruto is hell bent on bringing him back (even at the cost of his life).

Sasuke and Kai both have mentioned it many times that how Naruto and Tyson (Takao in Original dub) are the one they can't lose.

Sasuke and Kai are emos.

Tyson and Naruto are their sunshines.

Idk what to say more hehe-

Also funny sasunaru coz why not

I was very lucky to be able to get time off work to fly to Japan and go to every single beyblade bar that was held this summer! ✨️

There were 3 locations: Ikebukuro, Nagoya and Osaka!

It also held a lotto system to be in for the super rare chance to win a very limited Black Dranzer made for BeybladeX that I won!! 💖

"Show me what you've got, Kinomiya!"

Recently I finished rewatching Beyblade and was remembered on how influential the show was on me. Not only personally but also artistically. I vividly remember how I ran home from school in order to watch Beyblade at 3'o Clock, not to miss a single episode. There was something about this show that just hooked me. The battles, the music. The characters. After G-Revolution I drew my own comics with the characters. Of their own battles, their own interpersonal struggles and it was my very first AU. (lets say I wasn't too happy with Dranzers Faith in G-Revolution and I wanted to draw a happier ending). It also brought me and the neighbourkids together , as they were obsessed with Beyblade as well and we replayed the episodes on the playground while we argued who will be Kai in the end. (we did the same with Digimon, especially with Digimon Frontier, but that's a story for another day.) In Winter I tried to wear my scarf like Kai and I looked ridiculous but personally I related to him the most as a kid. I still do as an adult. I burn for art in a similar way as Kai and Tyson burn for Beyblade. But like Kai, I'm also a person who does not speak much and is rather on the introverted and calmer side. I rather like my work to speak for myself rather than the words that come out of my mouth. (but if you speak about art around me, make sure I won't shut up about it )

Anyway. In order to show my love, I decided to draw this Fanart. I chose that very iconic place from episode one, where Kai and Tyson meet for the very first time. However, except of drawing all the other Kids, I decided to draw the Bladebreakerz. I tried to capture the anticipation before the battle, the tension, the excitment. Almost a similar feeling I have whenever I start a new artwork.

What was your favorite show while growing up? And if it's also Beyblade, who is your favorite character :)?

My objective here was to draw Kai in one of my main styles, but it kinda just looks like season 1 Kai in the V Force style.

HALLOWEEN 2024

[maukiki1]

i mean, his name IS kai so...

Kai Hiwatari

Max probably looked at his scarf and thought "how warm it must be", because that ALB material was so thin and he's already shivering like crazy...

Kai probably wanted to avoid future problems, like a cold Max. Since his nose looked so red and his skin so pale.

Note¹: It's not essentially stolen, but I thought a scene like that after reading this 🍊

Note²: Forgive me for the cliché (⁠๑⁠¯-¯⁠๑⁠)...

Note³: I thought about doing a domestic scene. Maybe at another time...

It takes Kai’s friends the entire first season to break through his walls and allow him to trust them. It takes the entire season for him to be able to call them his friends and let his guard down. Even in the first few episodes of season three he seems to have a semi normal relationship with them. He spends time with them, they do normal teenager shit together even if Kai’s version of that is chewing on a piece of straw while Tyson teaches kids how to beybattle. In his own way, he’s developed that bond. It isn’t until Max and Ray decide to leave that he starts getting into old habits again.

While its true that Kai left because he wanted the ability to battle Tyson and couldn’t do so if they were going to be a part of the same team, it’s definitely hard not to question whether or not there was more to it than that. Season one in particular goes out of its way to show that Kai has significant trauma and possibly PTSD, meaning it’s very possible he left for reasons other than wanting to prove something. People with trauma tend to latch strongly to the ones they’ve bonded to but also have a tendency to really struggle with trust depending on what’s caused their trauma in the first place. It really seems like Ray and Max leaving had a significant impact on his progress, tapping into his trust issues and basically ‘proving’ that he was right not to let people in. He felt abandoned and retaliated, putting his walls back up once again. Even Hiro states that Yuri was using him in order to get himself into the finals (don’t even get my started on Hiro, I’m not entirely convinced that he didn’t go out of his way to brainwash Kai into leaving, but that’s neither here nor there).

Honestly, I’m not even really trying to prove any sort of point in saying any of this other than to acknowledge that Kai is trauma baby who must be protected at all costs and that there’s a reason he’s the fan favorite for those of us who are also trauma babies.

It feels a little bit like sending these into the void, is anyone even there anymore?

Getting back into art cause as usual I’m garbage and haven’t done any art for ages. Redrawing a picture I drew yeeeears ago on pen and paper.
