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 people’s posts in hopes that someone that knows anything about Cyborg sees this

fun fact it’s called beyblade because

Sola-BeyWarriors Cyborg

She is the main female in this series, I’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.

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, it’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 Lightning’s national ideology is (expand into the surrounding land that nobody else seems to want), it kind of hammers home that they’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 aren’t the Bladebreakers Lite Lightning Crew.  Heck, even initially it seems that Sola and Al have more (albeit pigeonholed) character depth. Apparently, Al is the Tyson of this group, Sola’s the gadgeteer genius and practically Dr. Prost’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 around specifically because he is level-headed from the get-go. 

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, it’d be fair to say that he thinks the humans are squatters that must be evicted. I stand corrected. The villains are planet-jackers.

7.) *Yeah, I’m starting to think the single-mindedness bit is genetic to the Prost family.

8.) They were savvy enough to suggest that the merchandise “may just be children’s toys” on the onset.

Gere - Beywarriors cyborg

[thefinalcinderella]

I just remembered Beywarriors Cyborg existed last night and now I want to watch it but I can’t find all the episodes

I know that someone uploaded all the episodes in japanese on youtube but they’ve deleted them???

And now I’m sad because it doesn’t likely I’ll be able to watch it unless I live in asia *cries*

Lesson: download stuff as soon as they get out because they’re not going to be there forever

Now does anyone know where I’ll be able to watch it???

This October, catch the latest series of the Beyblade saga, BeyWarriors Cyborg, featuring warriors who resemble half-creatures and half-machines. The warriors battle against each other in Teslandia, an abandoned planet ignored due to its harsh environment.   The discovery of Sanctuaries, power-spots containing high levels of energy, attracted mysterious vehicle-shaped items called Beyraiderz to…

Beywarriors Cyborg?

Adding for today, thank you!

Rewatching Beywarriors Cyborg (link here and everyone should watch it) I noticed parallels between Gai and Flame’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 didn’t like. With Lightning, the battlers liked their leader, and Sunburst’s king was also their main battler. But with Stone and Flame, the battlers went against their leaders’ wishes

Both Vargas nor Elder Stone (we don’t get his name in the series, but that’s what he’s called in casting) lose the loyalty of their battlers. In the case of Gai, this is a mistake on Gai’s part. Elder Stone didn’t do him any favors, but he made it clear from the start that Stone didn’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 could’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 a “final” battle, knowing he was risking Flame’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 it’d also weaken Sunburst. He’s up there with Bran in terms of villainy, but without any of Bran’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. Flame’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. There’s an entire nation there for him. Gai loses? Nobody’s there for him, and when he goes back to Stone, they tell him to give up. In addition, Gai knows he’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. Sunburst’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 wasn’t there for Gai’s battles, so if Gai loses his support, there’s no difference. With Flame, it’s similar. They don’t need Vargas to support them, but in their case, it’s not that their leader isn’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 Flame’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 app’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 thoughts on it. I’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 don’t give couple energy (and much less divorced energy)

Considering Nico’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 can’t find them

King August’s ship is a Lucius class. His full name is August Claudius Lucius. Man’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 mfb’s

Vargas really thought that publicly stating his plan involves making half of his own country uninhabitable wouldn’t be a highly unpopular thing

I want Homura’s earrings

Sunburst’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 Sunburst’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 Flame’s new ruler. But we get the name of the 2 recurring extras on Flame’s ship

We never get the name of August’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 didn’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, I’d have 2 nickels

I’m trying to make a detailed analysis on Beywarriors Cyborg but I keep getting distracted by Commander Homura giving me gender envy

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
