#beyblade Theory

[vogel-lynne]

Beyblade Theory:

Johnny's meeting with the Queen of England could be a lie told in an attempt to gain respect from Ralf or rise above Gian and Olivier (since in both the anime and manga his house is not seen and there is it is a huge discrepancy between his behaviour and his social class). The relationships of the Majestics, at least at the beginning, are rather unbalanced and the dynamics of power concentrated in Ralf's hands (who, having little social experience himself, believes that being the strongest makes him the undisputed leader/boss*. Gian and Olivier** don't argue because they have a more gregarious nature while Johnny is in a situation between "I want his respect/consideration"/envy because he is in a higher position than me)

*if Ralf is REALLY coherent, having already defeated Johnny at the European championships, he should no longer grant him rematches

**we don't even see Olivier's house, but he is already more believable as a noble/rich man

***and Gian also has "friends" (the two girls he is seen with)

Why did Damian attack Tsubasa and Yu?

Before we dive into the hypothesis, let's quickly recap what happened. During episode 88, Tsubasa and Yu are testing their Beys after they were repaired due to the battle against Team Garcia. Gingka and Masamune were battling Zeo at the same time, while Damian, searching for Ryuga, arrived at the scene. He interrupted Libra and Eagle's course while he wasn't looking (reminiscent of how Masamune interrupted Yu and Tsubasa's duel at the beginning of the season). Damian recognized them and asked to help him "test" his new Bey. Immediately after, a giant blast appeared followed by a mushroom cloud resembling Kerbecs.

Many people seem to think Yu and Tsubasa had a battle with Damian, but it seems unlikely. Madoka and Kenta told Gingka that everything happened extremely fast. And Madoka would never have allowed Tsubasa or Yu, let alone both, to battle this strange-looking kid they don't know (since the repair needed time to last). In fact, they didn't pick up their Beys after Damian arrived, so Damian could very well have done the same thing Ryuga did earlier in the same episode with Hades Inc.'s Bladers.

As to why I'm questioning Damian's motives, it's because Team Starbreaker could very well have been eliminated from the championship. Gingka wanted to take revenge in a fair fight, which is why Ryusei agreed not to report the incident. Damian at the time wasn't as chaotic as he was during the street battle in episode 96 or during his fight with Kyoya. It seems strange that he risked Ziggurat's plan just to test his Bey when we know he is extremely loyal to the doctor.

My first guess is that he didn't know Eagle and Libra had been damaged and just intended to intimidate them by knocking them out briefly, rather than putting them into a coma. What is more interesting is that during the final, Damian didn't mention what he did to Tsubasa and Yu a single time. He didn't taunt Gingka about it (when Jack and even Zeo did it). Maybe it is because Gingka took control of the conversation by calling Damian out on the arrangement. It could also be because Damian himself saw it as a mistake, not because he necessarily regrets it, but because it could have, as previously mentioned, impacted the plan to gather data.

Damian might have simply not cared about the consequences. Maybe Ziggurat could have bribed a few people to let it slide (he was made manager of the US team after all, so he must have some connections). Since Damian sees himself as the chosen one, for him, everything he does is justified by this fact. Furthermore, Ziggurat seemed to encourage this kind of behavior.

I do believe Damian wanted to test his power; however, whether he intended to do what he did to Yu and Tsubasa is not clear. I can see him not caring about the consequences since he is often validated by Ziggurat for the awfull things he does, and the fact his personality is influenced by the arrangement.

Bonus:

The Kerbecs cloud is reminiscent of a mushroom cloud made by an atomic bomb. At the end of World War II, the USA bombed Japan twice at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Likewise, at the end of the World Championship, Damian put two members of the Japanese team into a coma and destroyed their beys.

King's real name

Ok so hear me out. I've had this theory about King from Beyblade Metal Fury for a while now.

We all know King is Greek—that's canon. And we also know that in the English dub, there's this running gag where every time he introduces himself as "King," people are like, "Wait, that's your real name?" Like, honestly, who would name their kid King?

But here’s where it gets interesting: in Greece, the name "Vasilis" is actually super common, and guess what it means? King. It’s literally the Greek word for king.

So what if King's real name is actually Vasilis, and he just prefers to go by the English translation—“King”—because it’s easier for non-Greek speakers to pronounce and remember?

Plus, it fits with his personality SO well. King is this larger-than-life, super confident guy who absolutely has the vibe of someone who'd go around calling himself "King" without a hint of irony. It even aligns with that classic anime trope where a character has a “real” name but goes by a nickname that reflects their personality or background.

So yeah, no official confirmation, but I’m calling it: King’s real name is probably Vasilis 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[tangerine-and-ventus]

I'm so sure that Ginga isn't human and came from outer space

My evidence:

His name means galaxy in Japanese

In Episode 1, Ginga said this to Kenta: "As if all the power in the cosmos was being poured into it. You must put your heart that is as big as the starry sky into it. "

Note: I'm still new to this show, so no spoilers please!

Believe it or not, I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT

I had a dream when I watching beyblade x on youtube and I found a random jurassic world chaos theory video about the best moments of the series. I never watched this show, but I found it interesting so I clicked on it. The first clip wasn't quite good, so I scrolled all the way to the middle, where I found some sort of chinese-themed (Not very scary) lost episode and I clicked on it. The clip begins with Darius (I don't know a lot about jurassic park) nearby a chinese shrine and one of his friends warning him that going close to the lanterns with dark purple light makes the victim go slower and the ones with blue lights make the person faster. Then, Darius and his friends go inside the shrine, and inside it was like an old house with nothing but carpet floor. They escape the house and at the end and found a compsognathus. The compsognathus licked on Darius's face and just before I thought this was the end of the clip believe it or not, BIRD AND EKUSU CAME. When Bird and Ekusu came, I was like "Bird kazami, Ekusu kurosu, what are you guys doing here!?!?!?!?!!?" Because this is JURASSIC WORLD CHAOS THEORY!!! Soon, the team went back via the chinese shrine again and they faced some obstacles (Not like the last time) and there were bats all around and blah, blah, blah. I woke up and my mind was like "Erm, what the sigma?"

I just realized - the Launcher Hooks could serve as an in-universe indicator of which Beycrafter made which Bey.

Think about it - the series states that Beycrafting is an extremely specialized profession that takes a lot of effort to get into in the first place - and as a result, some Beycrafters may have some fame in that circle, and could be sought out by some teams for their Beys, with their "signature" in a sense being the launcher hooks.

The reason I say the launcher hooks can identify who made what is due to the fact that beys that share launcher hook stylings tend to have similar themes in naming.

So far, I can identify four major crafters:

Team Zooganic's Beycrafter - Launcher hooks are shaped like bolts, names their Beys after real-life animals. Leon Claw, Viper Tail, and Rhino Horn would have been a commission from Zooganic, with Shark Edge being an independent release.

Yggdrasil Pharmaceuticals - Launcher hooks are shaped like feathertips, names their Beys after mythical beasts. We know that they've put a bey to market before: Phoenix Feather. It's not too much of a stretch to say they've done this in the past as well, likely having done the same for beys such as Wyvern Gale and Sphinx Cowl.

Team Pendragon's Beycrafter - Launcher hooks are shaped like aircraft fins, names their Beys after the Four Auspicious Beasts. Cobalt Drake/Dragoon and Weiss Tiger fill the roles of the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger respectively, while Ekusu's replacement uses the Black Tortoise-themed Black Shell. The Vermilion Bird's slot has already been taken by Phoenix Feather.

Multi Nanairo - Launcher hooks are triangular with a line through the middle, names her Beys after fantasy jobs. This style of launcher hook has only ever appeared on the Beys used by Team Persona (No, Stone Mont Blanc and Strike Hawk do not count - they're generic beys). Knight and Wizard is fairly obvious; Hells/Incendio is less so, but keep in mind that the 4X avatar resembles a traditional Necromancer/Lich. Dran Sword is the major exception here, being dragon-themed as well as originally being a Team Pendragon Bey - but it could be the case that Shiguru could have commissioned it for Ekusu's use. Before you point out their strained relationship - in chapter 9 of the Manga, Shiguru never actually attacks Multi's skill as a Beycrafter, and even offers a bit of praise towards Hells Scythe's quality.

OKAY SO THE RANSOU TEASER CAME OUT

And as cool as seeing the Kiyama and Bel is, I'm more focus on this scene:

Basically Bel interupts Ransou's diary to say "What are you doing Ransou? Pri is almost here and she--" and then proceeds to demand to see the diary.

However this raises multiple questions

1) Why did Bel call her Pri? Is that a nickname? Is that maybe her real name? If it's her real name, then I guess the siglings would be Pax and Pri which sorta matches a little

2) If it's her real name, why does Bel know it? If it's a nickname, why that of all things?

3) The way Bel speaks sounds less like a "My next opponent is here to battle!" And more like a casual "The person I was expecting to visit is here". And that coupled with the fact that Pri has a backpack is making me suspect she might be staying with Bel.

Either way, I'm still very excited for this!!!

The Time Setting of Damian's Flashback

Some time ago, I encountered a discussion about Damian's uncertain age (a point I concur with), suggesting he might indeed be a child. This is a subject that seems to spark some debate (some websites state he is 16), so I wanted to try to sort this out. We know very little about Damian himself and even less about the true ages of the characters (though some can more easily be guesse). However, we have some material to work with. In episode 95, we saw a younger version of Damian with Ziggurat, who gave him a bey. This moment symbolized Damian's entry into the world of Beyblade. However, due to certain informations, the time setting might be much closer than we thought.

The Creation of the Arrangement System

"After studying those events, I decided to employ a more scientific approach when analyzing the power of Beys and perfected a method to maximize a Bey's potential through science: the arrangement system."

Dr. Ziggurat in Episode 87 (The Plot Thickens)

The events Ziggurat is referring to are mostly Ryuga's loss of control during the end of Battle Blader, as well as Doji "losing sight of the true goal." He clearly states to Ryuga that he created the arrangement system after Battle Blader. Some might argue that he was lying, but he previously stated his true goal (which would be verified later) to Ryuga, so he had no reason to lie about that.

This element doesn't outright give us the moment the flashback happened. However, it's possible to theorize that Damian didn't undergo the arrangement system before Battle Blader. This tournament is at most a year before the World Championship (although it's not precisely stated), but there's a window of time between Ginga's victory and Masamune's arrival in Japan. So, during Metal Fusion, he still had a normal appearance.

Damian's Physical Appearance

Although Damian's portrayal exhibits minor inconsistencies, fluctuating between childlike and late teenage appearances, his stature remains consistent. In the reminiscence, he appears significantly shorter than Ziggurat, aligning with his elbow. This proportion seems unchanged during the Spiral Force showcase, indicating minimal growth. Also, Damian has long legs (not visible in the flashback) compared to his body, which contribute to his diminished stature. This could indicate that he didn't age much between the two events and that they could be close in time.

Depending on the shot during the flashback, his features aren't as soft, and he doesn't seem so dissimilar from his past self (except for longer hair and more frowned eyes).

Another point I wanted to add is that the arrangement system (for the most compatible Blader like Faust and Damian at least) has a drastic effect on one's appearance: Toby's features become much harder, and his hair grew noticeably in a short amount of time (between the end of the World Championship and the Spiral Force event). Knowing that, it should be no surprise that Damian's appearance also underwent a similar impact because of the arrangement system.

Links with the plot.

To summarize: The arrangement system's creation occurred after Fusion, Damian's height remained constant from the flashback to the present, and the system has the capacity to modify physical features.

In addition, it is said multiple times that Damian only played Beyblade because of Ziggurat telling him to do it and his compatibility with the arrangement. According to what Ginga says (and sometimes Ginga understands people better than they understand themselves), Damian was asked to do Beyblade and then became a test subject for the arrangement.

"I see you really are just a victim in all of this. You did as you were told and took up Beyblade. Did as you were told and became some kind of lab rat test subject."

Ginga Hagane in episode 95 (Showdown! Gingka vs. Damian)

Damian only cared about Beyblade so long as he was the "chosen one," and that was what Ziggurat wanted. His mindset of playing and torturing people might have come from the fact that he gained seemingly unlimited power easily and rapidly. He never aimed at making an effort to become strong, so his only distraction in a fight is to put the opponent down while establishing a natural order: He is strong; the others are weak.

This mindset could hint that he never trained in a traditional sense, nor ever used his own strength alone. It is very well possible that after this scene, he went straight to the arrangement. Meaning that the Damian we see in the flashback could very well be Metal Fusion or even early Metal Masters Damian.

[mattithecatti]

my friend and i were watching the beyblade metal fusion movie the other day, it was their first time and for me i hadn’t watched it in quite a few years. it is very very ridiculous and very very nonsensical and very very fun, please watch it because it’s free on youtube, my theory is that bladed dj is a malicious demigod and madoka is also a demigod but she was given mega obliviousness because the greek pantheon were too worried of what she’d do/how powerful she’d become if they let her run around unchecked <3

[daydream-comet]

Something something takao's aura? Spirit? Whatever you call it is red instead of blue, this was when takao was failing to summon dragoon/seiryu during his first battle with ozuma

[letstalkaboutbeyblade]

Omg. It a makes sense now. Love the creative way way they snuck it past the censors! At some point Tyson even inseminates Kai's love cocoon. Let the imagery speak for itself.

Why is it now in 2024 I am now finding out about the Phoenix and the Dragon love story. I'm saying it now, Tyson and Kai didn't have wives because they were in love but couldn't be together due to Kai's family and when they meet again, that's when they try to be together

"According to some myths, the dragon and phoenix are celestial beings that fall deeply in love. Their union is said to bring about prosperity, good fortune, and the creation of a balanced and harmonious world"

"they signify the harmonious union of opposites."

you cannot convince me that the scene wasn't based off that- rewatch this episode and you'll see what I mean

[ironbonds]

Not to mention the science of "spin stealing" beyblades.

" Yeah! While in theory any of them can do it, it takes a very specific design to do it correctly. Because the rings of the Beyblade aren't smooth, you can actually have one with larger grooves taking momentum from another. It looks like it's stealing, but in reality it's the Theory of Conservation of Momentum. All momentum is moved from place to place, because it cannot be destroyed. So while one strikes the other and loses it's momentum, the other is being given it due to how the teeth of the top catches the other! "
