Bladers in the anime really love their Beyblades, but when they break they just throw them away!!
Every time bladers evolve a Beyblade they are left with broken pieces to mend. and we've
only really seen Phi and Lain take a Beyblade and incorporate materials from another Bey
into an evolution (as we see with Perfect Phoenix and Hades and Lucius End Bringer from
Vex Lucius).
The main characters usually 3D print their layers, drivers and forge disks and we know
for a fact that most main characters re make their Beyblades after breaking them (usually
though battle), I've theorized in a previous video that they
may even sell their creations too, potentially make them rich by using patent and copyright
laws, check in the description to find out more at the end of this video
but this would, you know...give them the means and a reason to have their own secret stash
of layers.
The only character confirmed to have a collection is count nightfell, and they're recolors of
various beys as we see in this shot from Beyblade Burst Evolution.
I can totally imagine them also 3D printing extra layers when they originally made their
beyblades, but by making extra Beyblades, does that mean all main characters MUST have
a stash of all their previous generation beys?...
POTENTIALLY in a display case in their room, next to any potential trophies they may own?
I'm not convinced..
To be clear I'm going to be taking focus on the main characters, and that's because we
HAVE seen their rooms, and even other rooms in their homes throughout the Beyblade series,
and we dont have any evidence for them having an extensive collection of Beyblades; I do
remember Dante's uncle that had trophies, but there's no Beyblade collection in sight.
I always wonder who's gear Aiger received, because you may think it was his dad's.. but
the way she looked at the case and the red color motif she has at the time compared to
Taiga's blue.
In the manga we get to see Wakiya looking at older generation Beyblades in a display
case so there may be a possibility that they purchase extra beys, but I don't see Valt
or Aiger lining up to do the same, and buy another Beyblade that they didn't make...
like many Beyblade Youtubers would in real life, having multiple generations of different
Beyblade types.
Granted, that people like Wakiya, who in Beyblade Burst Surge made a Virtual Reality Beyblade
game, or training app that takes up a whole room, Lui Shirosagi and Bell Daizora all have
their own mansions too, or in Luis case a whole island with beystadiums and private
gym equipment.
In Beyblade Burst Dynamite, Lui can be seen training with his Guilty Longinus, vs other
Beyblades in said island..
there are no other bladers around, as Beyblades get launched by a machine; now it stands to
reason he's bought them all, (or at least 3D printed them).
still no distinct Beyblade collection in sight.
As one would imagine though, after making an evolution what would be the point of having
older generations?
Nostalgia?
I've been wondering about this topic for a while, and well since they are top tier athletes,
Beyblades are the tools they use (like the launcher, and Beyblade it self HAVE to be
well maintained), or i guess what I'm trying to say is that they may need to have the beyblades
continuously replaced anyways.
as a matter of fact, there's something you can't do in real life without potentially
damaging your bey, that we see some characters do nonchalantly.
guess in the comments below what it is and I'll tell you, coming up...
BECAUSE as most competitive players do in real life;
continuously replacing equipment is normal, like in Tennis.
Professional tennis players have variations of rackets in order to be in full control
of their hits, in any weather or terrain (let's face it, we don't really know what the beystadiums
are made of in the anime).
If we contrast this to Beyblade, bladers would have not only one launcher, but several different
types--and this is very much the case, as you can see this in the anime as bladers progress
through the storylines, and some change launchers, or upgrade them too!!
IM LOOKING AT YOU BELL!!.. actually..
(kind of like we do with a string and rip cord launcher, I do have a preference when
launching; I like to use a rip cord with attack types for extra torque, whereas I like a string
launcher for others types of beys to have control of the tilt or angle of the launcher)
not only that though, professional tennis players have particular rackets restrung before
a match.. but this is unheard of in the world of Beyblade... as having a new string for
your beylauncher before a match wouldn't account for any power difference, or in its performance
overall (i think), in any case, launcher modifications are not permitted in WBO tournaments.
Now, for it's THESE few reasons that I venture to say they don't hesitate to throw the Beyblades
away - for them it's a sport
-they don't have a visible display case -and (mostly because it seems like it's a
normal thing, specially if they're broken).
Just as Shu did, with Legend Spriggan, Valt with Victory Valkyrie, Delta with Diabolos,
and many other main and side characters (brake sounds).
But wait, did you notice Raul Comas kept Victory Valkyrie in Beyblade Burst Evolution?
Yup!
After completing Genesis's Valkyries' evolution, Valt didn't even acknowledge his older bey,
notably so by calling this evolution its genesis or in other words, Valkyries origin.
Yes, Raul helped evolve Valtryek in the first episode of Beyblade Burst Evolution, but towards
the end of that episode, he WAS in a rush to leave, he was happy to help, but remember
he was looking for a bey too, he had been looking for a bey with potential, and to this
day i do think he may still own Valt's Victory Valtryek, not Valt.
Raul made a second God Valkyrie- as well as the god chip, reboot driver and more upgrades
to help Valkyrie evolve.
-but then again, if they didn't throw them away, why would Beyblade characters IN THE
ANIME collect Beyblades like we do?
I can see an older gentleman like Raul Comas, or Taiga Akabane having a nostalgia trip over
a bey as they were bladers too!
and most bladers hold on to their very first Beyblade, just like Ghasum and his Kerbeu's
There could be one more insidious reason that bladers may collect them, and that's to acquire
power.
The snake pit was built on this idea, of the perfect Beyblade, and Phi was consumed by
and corrupted Aiger -plus, there are bladers in the anime know
for taking other people's Beyblades, either after battle as with Kurt Burtere and his
sac of beys or by stealing them like count Nightfell does in Beyblade Burst Turbo. (and
personally i don't think its a good idea to be walking around with the beys like that)..
he has all the Beyblade assembled in his pockets; always carrying a bunch parts with him, but
I figure the full combos would be so noisy disassembled though, so there would be no
way he could sneak around!! and even in Beyblade Burst Quad drive we see that bladers have
left their beyblades at Bells house, and as I mentioned Lui Shirosagi's too, so in my
opinion they've already proven to have a Beyblade collection to some extent, albeit incurred
through questionable means.
but if we think back to our main characters, for the most part they make a new Beyblade
when their original design breaks or is not efficient (as with Dante Koriyu), and they
all use the same program or something like a public server.
in Beyblade Burst dynamite It did seem like Valt had to login to a program or server to
downloads existing files to incorporate his old designs into the ultimate Valkyrie.
and I mean, it's evident they love their Beyblade and have an emotional bond with with their
bey partner.
As we see in many of the seasons as the characters confide secret battle strategies, and future
goals while talking to the beyblades by anthropomorphizing the Beyblade avatar from time to time.
This bond is carried over from generation to generation, and helps them win battles.
I'm not sure if they can still resonate with their previous beys, but it stands to reason
that they would.
And as far as a personal collection, all the main characters and even side characters like
honcho do own at least two generations of beyblades.
I've made a short list for the bladers and their collection as I believe it would be
in the anime, and assuming that they haven't made extra copies of broken layers.
Valt would have the most beyblades in his Valtryek collection; having at least 5 generations
of Valtryek's, Dante Lui and Shu would have 4 beyblades in their respective collections,
and Aiger would have two as of making this video.
Honcho Is particular in the way he obtains his Beyblades, as the beyblade research center
is the manufacturer of Roktavor as shown in Beyblade Burst Evolution, and only now in
Beyblade burst dynamite the Beyblade research center was not involved in making or evolving
Roktavor to Cyclone.
I figure bladers like the asahi brothers, lain and bell would have only one Beyblade
in their collection.
But as far as owning other Beyblades like we do, Valt along with the main characters
and side bladers are likely not collectors like you
and me, is that good or bad i don't know.
The on thing i do know is that with more options, one can be struck with option paralysis meaning
you're more likely not to Beyblade the more beys you have, which is also known as the
choice paradox, i wont get into explaining that because i frankly can't in the end of
this video.. the one thing I wanted to leave you with was
this.. every blader does in the anime and we can't
really do is clean the Beyblade layer.
I mean i get it, clean off the scratches (but in my opinion its more important to clean
the Beyblade drivers)... and its because for the most part a Takara Tomy Beyblades and
pro series Beys have stickers on the layer, and even a Hasbro Beyblades have paint that
can be rubbed off with excessive or daily rubbing.
for the serious bladers if you want to make Beyblades without a 3d printer, from a practical
point of view, its best to do what lain and Phin did, by merging Beyblades.
This is mostly due to the fact Beyblade Burst series beys are made of mostly metal in the
anime.
We see how Lain melted Vex Lucius in a metal smelting place, also when Valt Aoi and Aiger
Akabane made their Beyblades, using metal and a forge... and if you want to know more,
there are beytuber doing this in real life too!
Making molds of existing Beyblades to have a metal counter part, by melting down casting
metal.
I have seen metal smelting kits on amazon, you can find them in the description below,
and in this way have metal Burst series Beyblades in real life.
thanks for watching, and let it trip!
