I don't know about you, but if I had this power, in order to win every battle I would
just do this all the time.
Free de la Hoya's special move "the spin revival".
Instead of using his hand (or launcher) to make Fafnir spin, Free places Fafnir in the
middle of the stadium and uses a right spin Beyblade to "jump start" Fafnir's spin.
But Why isn't Free de la Hoya doing this every single time?
Well, I think it's because he can't, let me explain what I mean.
Free de la Hoya, once the number one blader in the world,
Valt: "you recognize that guy?" Honcho: "the world's top blader?
Of course I do" a very confident blader that uses his bey's
ability of spin stealing, in particular having a soft launch, a hand launch and the epic
jump start you're seeing on the screen right now.
Known for using Fafnir, and it's many evolutions- hold on wait a minute.
That's of course without Wizard Fafnir.
In Beyblade Burst Dynamite Battle we see him do an epic jump start with his Beyblade, it's
a very simple move where you just leave the Beyblade in the middle of the stadium and
wait for your opponents inertia to steal their spin, ultimately winning the battle, but one
thing was very peculiar about Free de la Hoya throughout the whole series, and that's the
fact that he's only done this once.
I don't know about you, but if I had this power, in order to win every battle I would
just do this all the time.
but why isn't Free de la Hoya doing this all the time; remember that Fafnir, it's special
ability relies upon having rubber.
There are three types of rubber: natural, synthetic and vulcanized.
Natural rubber comes from the rubber tree, and usually called latex, whereas synthetic
rubber is made, or synthesized from petroleum by products...
But why am I saying he can't do this anymore?
What I'm really trying to say is, that the situations where just perfect for him to actually
do this, we do begin the episode by seeing Free de la Hoya training in the desert.
Now that's a big hint towards it very hot and heat is a very big factor for rubber.
So what does this all mean?
Well, the facts is, Free de la Hoya was testing out his Beyblade.
He really did want to know the capabilities of the new Dynamite Beyblade.
Having rubber all the way around may seem like a good idea, but Free de la Hoya does
what any champ does best; and that is test himself.
Time will tell if we see him do this technique again, of leaving the Beyblade in the middle
of the stadium, but I am willing to bet he wont...
Unless the battle is outside!
In case you get any ideas of trying this yourself, well I had to do it first.
Guys, please make sure you don't try this at home.
I want to heat up my Vanish Fafnir, I don't live anywhere near a desert I'm here in Canada.
So the way I'm going to do it, is well- don't tell the wife (hair dryer noises).
So the big question is, did tit work? did it not (work)?
Well, take a look for yourself.
For the most part, it does not work.
The rubber from Fafnir does become a little bit softer when you press on it, but the heat
doesn't ultimately have a positive effect on battle.
I do wonder if it would be different had I been in the desert.
That's because deserts can reach an average temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, which is
a little over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
So maybe the better thing to do is simulate the environment of a desert, so what I'm going
to do is leave it in the car.
I'm going to leave Fafnir in the hot car, hey Google set a 2 hour timer.
Okay 2 hours starting now.
It is well known that a parked car outside on a hot summer day can turn into a scorching
oven, and it can only take one hour for a car to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 38
degrees Celsius.
So was Free de la Hoya cheating by using the heat to his advantage?
Why would he choose to only do this once?
I think that he knew that the heat would have an effect on Fafnir, and I also think he did
this to show Bell and Valt his bey's potential.
Granted, I don't know what they're saying, but Free didn't warn them before hand that
he may have an advantage in the desert, and an omission of truth is still a lie.
In my opinion the heat did give him an advantage, let's get back to the van and see if this
theory holds up in real life.
Today is a pretty hot day too, it's 21 degrees Celsius and it does feel pretty humid.
Inside of the van the layer is warm to the touch and the dragon heads can be pressed
quite easily.
I've set myself up inside the van for a few battles, the only other person in the Beyblade
Burst universe that I remember doing this is Fumiya Kindo, and his Wizard Fafnir which
is the inspiration for the Vanish layer.
I must admit it's alot easier to make Wizard Fafnir do a jump start, and I think its due
to the rubber, as they both feel different to the touch.
In my opinion Vanish Fafnir is getting more spin from each hit when its hot, as opposed
to the normal temperature.
But I'm not done yet because the kick driver has low stamina to begin with, the Beyblade
Burst Dynamite stadium dome is oddly shaped, unlike the standard beystadium, and with the
addition of the huge brink you can see that Cyclone Ragnaruk tends to stall.
My hope if I am to show you a perfect jump start is to change stadiums, and the Vanish
Fafnir stock combo.
Using Vanish Fafnir Oval Drift and changing our opponent to Slash Valkyrie to help us
rotate our bey.
I'm also using one of my anime Beyblade stadiums from Pro Spin Stadiums, one of my favorites.
You can see that Vanish Fafnir gets the burst, I love it!
At the end of the day this is an anime only move, as it's still hard to burst your opponent
from a jump start.
Slash Valkyrie is one of the easiest beys to burst and it was still hard to do.
Using Cyclone Ragnaruk and its 7 clicks, it feels nearly impossible to burst this way.
I admit that Free de la Hoya is an extremely strong blader, with a strong bond with his
Beyblade; I cannot hope to compare my strength and skill to his but I do hope that these
test gave you an idea as to how to do the jump start effectively.
I guess that's pretty much using the combo that I used, and the fact that you can't really
do a jump start at a tournament, as it's not guaranteed to be successful.
Maybe that's the reason that Free de la Hoya did the jump start to begin with, because
in the desert there was no rules.
There is no point system in which he would be judged on, he was having some fun showing
his new Beyblade to his friends.
Perhaps the real reason Free has never done this at a tournament is because he knows that
this will not work every time.
I know for sure I'm not going to try this at a tournament, whether that be a WBO tournament
or any other kind of Beyblade tournament that I can attend.
But would you that yourself?
Would you try a jump start at a real tournament?
That is the question of the day, write in the comments below and you might get featured
in an upcoming video.
Do you want to see Fumiya Kindo back, and which Fafnir Layer is your favorite?
For me it does have to be the Drain Fafnir and Wizard Fafnir layers, between those two
that have the best rubber.
So for me those are the best ones.
Thank you for watching I will leave you with the Burst of the day at the end of the video,
have some fun out there.
Be The Best, and Be Yourself.
As Always let it rip.
