The ULTIMATE Beyblade ICEBERG (Beyblade Metal series)

[denzyl]

So, a couple points from me-

1st, One theory I had that you could maybe add is that Cyber Pegasus was actually one of the prototypes that Gingka’s dad mentions in Metal Masters, it’s fusion wheel bears a resemblance to galaxy pegasus after all, and maybe since Sora wasn’t destined to wield Pegasus, there is no avatar that comes from his bey when he battles since as we know the same Pegasus exited from Storm Pegasus and possessed the dormant Galaxy Pegasus once Gingka awakened it, all that’s left is the overwhelming power that Sora can’t fully control as we see with the massive blast of energy he creates during his last battle in his debut episode.

2nd, I think maybe Ryuga was exiled from the Dragon Clan, as we saw in metal fusion, he wasn’t exactly the most stable individual even before getting his hands on L-Drago. He also gets consumed by a lust for power often, so that could be another reason why he was kicked out. Maybe at that point Doji found him when Ryuga was desperate and alone with the promise of wielding the strongest bey L-Drago, and Ryuga accepted without a second thought, which is why he’s so pissed off at the mention in Metal Masters and when he shows up in Fury, he realized Doji’s manipulation and strived to beat the dark power while still strengthening L-Drago due to his previously mentioned desire to be the strongest.

I think alot of dialogue in the anime pointed to Doji believing ryuga with ldrago would take the place of nemesis if it's not said outright .

3:36 my own headcanon for Reiji is that he underwent an early version of the arrangment. This would explain his power and sadistic nature. We saw in masters that some test subjects couldn't handle it and broke down emotionally, this could be what happened to Reiji when he lost to Gingka.

Also to add to this comment, I’d like to compare the moments between Zeo and Reiji, where Zeo pressed the button, I think Reiji’s was activated remotely, maybe by Doji, maybe just automatically. Either way they were both clearly in pain when their full power was being drawn out.

Yeah I'm 99 percent sure I read in the manga that kyoya got his scars protecting his brother

[He-Man]

This is how I think each season is connected.

Yuki said that it was spiral force that made it possible for the new star fragment to arrive.

This is my theory.
L'drago holds a piece of the same power that Nemesis has. The star fragment carrying L'drago moved past the black sun.

Pluto and Doji wanted to use L'drago (and Ryuga) to power the spiral core. This explains why Ziggurat wanted him. He hoped that Ryuga could unlock his full potential with L'DRAGO (just like Faust)

This ritual would take place in the Mayan temple.
Remember that Madoka said that the temple had a near identical system to the spiral core. Not a coincidence. So basically.

L'drago was needed to either awaken nemesis, or send enough energy into space to call the new star fragment.

Man it's still sad how they let this great series die.
It is by far the most popular beyblade series to the point where it has us people who watched it as kids come back to revisit it. I mean of course that is because of our emotional attachment, we would never watch it if we hadn't watched it to begin with. My dream would be the release of the next chapter of metal fight, but it not being a kids show. Like it makes sense, the only ones who are still invested in it are us who watched it as kids, the kids nowadays definitely don't watch it. But I don't know what even became of the studio who originally created it, so in the words of a very wise man, 'Keep dreaming bud, keep dreaming..'

Great video, it was worth waiting for it.

Takafumi Adachi, the manga author of the Metal Saga, made a short comic showing Kyoya protecting his brother from something, which is how he got his scars.


If I remember correctly, he also stated that Ryo and Gingka’s mother were separated. We don’t get much insight into Gingka’s childhood aside from flashbacks and his relationship with Hyoma, whereas in the manga, this is explored in more detail (and his mother doesn’t appear at all). So it’s not surprising that she never shows up or gets mentioned in the anime.

In the manga, Damian literally stole the souls of Gingka’s friends like Ryuga, and they all temporarily died to help Gingka resurrect. So this isn’t really shocking that they re-adapted that in the anime, especially considering MFB emulates shonen manga even more than Bakuten. As a result, we get a clear opposition between good and evil.
Aside from that, like many other anime, MFB has a lot of Christian symbolism in it.

The writers didn’t plan on making other characters Legendary Bladers—it was already decided in the manga and based on products. That picture was probably just a way to promote the Legendary Bladers, kind of like the commercial breaks in Masters. Plus, there’s another similar picture with different silhouettes.

I think Medusa is so important because, in mythology, Pegasus was born from her blood—and Gingka owns a Pegasus Bey.

Your dragon clan theory is interesting! I also really like the idea that Ryuga was some ancient king of his clan that Doji found thanks to Ryuto, like in the manga.

Didn’t expect you to bring up the test-tube baby theory! I mean, Damian was brainwashed by the arrangement, so he does have some extenuating circumstances


As for the Nemesis plan, I think Pluto either had the ability to see the future, or they just tried using L-Drago as a substitute. Though Ziggurat and Doji—being corrupt men who wanted to use the power of Beys for themselves (which has been brought up numerous times)—are probably the ones who deviated from the original plan.

Also, fun fact: Damian and Rago both have golden launchers.

The real question is: Why is no one going to school or to work in this universe ? What are they doing to living ?

[APhantomEX-]

We gotta stop pretending like Shogun Steel didn’t flat out say “oh yeah there’s like a 99% chance Ryuga is alive”

[mathieuhenocq]

a question I haven't found the answer is what was Doji planning to do with Reiji after his battle against Gingka?
because if Reiji won against Gingka, I don't think they would have ended the battle blader, Ryuga and Reiji would have battled each other in the finals
but as Doji said to Yu, Reiji is the number two of the dark nebula
so Reiji knew that at the end, even if continued to win, if would have faced Ryuga (this was the conclusion Ryutaro found)
So for me, Reiji was just a way to make Gingka stronger, and that would explain why Ryuga was satisfied when Gingka defeated Reiji

[supersonicstyleatsonicspeed]

We really need a Nile backstory and future story expansion on him. He has SO much potential just like Sora.

[Richxwolf]

Reiji was crazyyyy but when i found out he is the same voice actor as harold from total drama i can't take him serious at times man🤣

[ashhabimran]

Forgot to mention a few things:
- the strange lack of pandas in China
- who and what is Motti
- the salt Ryuga won but turned down,
- Taka the giant spider crab
- Doji’s obsession with orange juice and cacti

[imaginerejector]

There actually are explanations for how Doji and Dr. Ziggurat (or at least a plausible one in the latter's case) fit into the Nemesis Plan:

*Doji - When Ryuga and Doji encounter in Metal Fury or during Ryuga's fight eith Rago, Doji mocks Ryuga and says that he couldn't believe he thought Ryuga could replace Rago. So perhaps before finding Rago, he was aiming to achieve the Hades cult's goal with Ryuga. We also know that Dark Nebula collected data on L Drago for Hades Inc.

*Dr. Ziggurat - When explaining the prophecy of the new Star Fragment, it's suggested that the light that guided the Star Fragment to Earth was Gingka releasing the Spiral Force energy into space. So perhaps Dr. Ziggurat was pursuing his own financial goals, but that Pluto, as the one behind Hades Inc. was using that to draw the Star Fragment to Earth to restore Nemesis. Maybe not in the way it happened, but still.

11:52 i think doji himself went to the dragon clan and searched for a worthy blader that could wield L-Drago

[NaughtWalter]

I had never given any sort of thought as to "who sent the star fragment" until this video, so it's definitely some kind of iceberg

I guess what it makes me think about more is not necessarily that someone or something is sending these star fragments but that they're just out there floating in space. I wonder in the MFB world is there potential for like a future subplot where the Russian team or someone becomes a new antagonist by traveling into space and creating some super Bey out of a star fragment they get from there

[FatimaZahraElbrini]

how about the total absence of parents in the world of beyblede? (exept for gingka's dad and hikaru's mom) and kids that have jobs? and how did ryuga met doji? and what happened to the villagers of the kuma village? and what about the dragon clan?

[KKTHDL]

I remember a comic of Kyoya saving his brother from a falling building, I still have a photo of it

[tjkane]

I love the beyblade metal fight content

[alexandervelaortiz]

Tsubasa has so much potential especially with the Dark Power and I feel like he could've easily been a legendary blader
