From Valt Aoi to Bell Daikokuten, every main character develops new Beyblades, new gimmicks
or even new stadiums; so does that make them all cheaters? Whether or not you think Beyblade is a
sport or a game, either way you could still cheat. There's only very few rules when it comes to an
anime battle. Um... you just launch your bey, and you know, let it spin... I'm just kidding guys;
but one of the basic rules is to make sure that your beyblade is spinning, and is the last one
spinning in the stadium. The proper way to win of course is to get a spin finish, ring out finish,
or more importantly that burst finish! I don't even think the Beyblade has to be from the same
season, heck i don't even know why they put this circle all around the stadium, in every tournament
it's not like Valt, or any of the other characters stay within it. As a matter of fact, why is there
a circle inside of the stadium?!? It's not like we get more points if there's a burst that happens
within that smaller circle, (although that would be cool)! Most of the main characters are treated
like legends, and do come up with a lot of the technology that's involved in Beyblade;
it doesn't seem like any other Beyblade characters have to abide by any standardization of the parts,
and what do i mean by that? Well obviously they do get to modify their Beyblades, "but Beyblade
dad!" I hear you say, "innovating Beyblades, and making their own Beyblade isn't a bad thing,
it's innovation; they're just making new stuff for us to enjoy!", but truth the matter is
both Aiger and Valt added a burst stopper to their layers. That's literally one of
the biggest modifications that you can do, it prevents one of the main functions of winning or
losing a match from happening; that's of course that burst finish. Granted it's not impossible to
burst these kinds of Beyblades, but it does make it tremendously more difficult, and aside from
taking performance enhancement drugs, the use of technology is a way to cheat. That's just one side
of the coin, because as we all know every main character does have their own particular technique
when it comes to launching, from Valt's aerial boost, all the way to Aiger's 360 spin
launch or even when being in tournaments, (remember that) Dante, or Drum Koriyu was
the first to create an electric driver for the Burst series. I don't know about you, but i think
that's like putting a remote control on a soccer ball; that's taking Beyblade and technology,
then meshing it up together to make something unique, new and given the fact that it goes both
left and right spin, this Beyblade driver made Dante and Dragon the most powerful team, and the
fact that he actually used Delta's layer in order to win a tournament back in Beyblade Burst Rise
meaning that all bladers have the choice to do the same thing, but they don't!! Dante became so
strong not only by training... wait
up!! By introducing new parts new, gimmicks
and an ability so powerful that others had to actually adapt with an infinite burst lock system;
not only that Gwyn Reynolds even went so far as to add another layer of anti-burst protection
to those layers, such villainy in Beyblade!! But is it cheating?? Cheating is basically gaining
an unfair advantage over your opponent. Let me explain what i mean, in season 1 of Beyblade
Burst we do get to see Valt experiment with so many different kinds of launches, one of
his most powerful ones which is the aforementioned aerial boost, and it literally gives him a boost;
it gives him increased momentum because of the distance traveled by the Beyblade. This
gave Valt such a dramatic boost, that even Lui decided to do it too! In Beyblade Burst God,
that's when things started to get a lot more heavy when it comes to the gimmicks; starting
from episode 1 Raul made a drastic change to Valkyrie or Valtryek, and i don't think it's what
inspired many others to do the same, but we did see Beyblades go in a direction where a lot more
customization could happen and a lot more gimmicks could be added. Along came the Beyblade Burst
Cho-z or Beyblade Burst Turbo season, in which even Shu had to adapt to all the changes that were
going on; leading him to also add burst stoppers to Spriggan. I've talked about it before in the
channel, the fact that some of these Beyblade battles look like they are fixed, where some of
the Beyblade characters that we know should have won lose, and some of the ones that we know should
have lost won! Not only that, but it's revealed in the manga for Beyblade Burst Sparking or Beyblade
Burst Surge that all the legendary bladers got together and conspired to make a tournament;
a tournament in order to bring down Lain Valhalla, which was climbing the legendary ladder quicker
than anybody ever did! This of course was because of his new Beyblade, First Uranus which was a
whole new blading system, but what did the legends do? That's right, all the main characters ended
up copying his style of Beyblade! That, along with his flair and determination to be the best must be
a great motivation to start evolving the Beyblades as much as he did, with Lucifer. In Beyblade Burst
Dynamite, it does get even worse though, because Bell Daikokuten blatantly copies his opponent's
special ability; whether it was from Fafnir and his spin stealing rubber, Longinus with
its heavy metal dragon blades, and Valkyrie; he copied special attributes in order to make
his Beyblade a lot more powerful. Not only that, with the introduction of the DB system,
that is the Dynamite battle launcher and the Dynamite battle stadium, (which both
are stronger and bigger respectively) gave him a clear edge over the rest of the competition, once
again motivating everybody else to adopt the new Dynamite battle system. Of course we see Rashad
Goodman being the king of copycat himself copying Valt Aoi's Beyblade, (twice) and finally settling
for the Greatest Rafael; and so is it innovation or cheating? I consider Beyblade to be a modern
target sport, akin to archery, bowling and ping pong. When think about Beyblade in these terms,
as a sport, then we can clearly see whether they are actually cheating or not. Take
archery for example, where the archer's score is still dependent on the archer's skill. Each
archer is equipped with their very own bow, and their very own arrows, that are unique to them;
mostly having standards for the arrow length and diameter, which is obviously not like Beyblade,
but if it were treated as such. You could clearly see that by bringing your own Beyblade, or your
own launcher you're just bringing something that's unique to you. So, not necessarily
cheating; whereas if it was treated like ping pong, there would actually be somebody that had
to check everything, (even the consistency of the materials they use) so that everybody is using
basically the same things; whether that is the same rubbers, plastics, metals; and in a sense
they kind of do that, when they let each other see each other's Beyblade in the beginning of every
match. So maybe they're not cheating by making new parts, because as it seems everybody else can too.
There are other side characters who've been along for the ride, and have evolved there Beyblade too,
along with the villains and antagonists of the Beyblade Burst series. Okay, so that's
it? Nobody's cheating? Not quite, because if we push this to the extreme, meaning if
we were to get Bell Daikokuten to travel back in time and go to Beyblade Burst season one,
I'm sure we could all agree that his Beyblade system is far more superior than anything,
and had he brought that to the tournament he would have won it. No questions asked. But,
then at that point in time, i think he would be cheating. I think, (and i may be wrong here)
that the only reason we don't call it cheating, is because we see a progression; whereas if we
see an abrupt change like that, where the Beyblade is bigger, and heavier, well then it's fair to say
then, that that Beyblade has an unfair advantage. A bit like cheating. I guess that's my conclusion,
at the end of the day they're not necessarily cheating. As there's no stated rules as to which
Beyblades must battle which, and what kind of a launch or position you might have while launching.
This it is actually a reason why i believe that we'll never actually see a fair comparison
between all the bladers, and that's because they're not all using the same Beyblade,
and let's remember that in the real world Beyblade tournaments work a little bit differently,
and there are definitely more rules when it comes to a wbo tournament; the way we stand,
the way we launch, and what type of launcher we use. The biggest rules are regarding what kind of
Beyblade you use, and its manufacturer; whether it's a Hasbro, or Takara Tomy, that's okay,
but you cannot use a fake Beyblade to participate in a wbo tournament. I can't say i ever won a wbo
tournament, and that's because the competition is so tough. There could be
smaller kids that are way better than me, but then again they might have watched my video on
the three subtle ways you can cheat in Beyblade. I've linked that down in the description,
and right here on the screen. Let me know what you think i want to thank you for watching, and
i want to thank our Beykatsuki members. Thanks for being there, and i'll see you in the next video.
