Characters that SHOULD HAVE been LEGENDARY BLADERS (Beyblade Metal series)

[anchorsaway]

Damion is a strange case cause his shadow was scene when they showed the shadows of the ten legendary bladers so he clearly was considered by the writers early on

[neonthunder]

IMO Tsubasa and Yu not getting evolutions is actually insane. Both carried the same beys as they did since Fusion and while they're really powerful, yeah, they eventually kinda got powercrept.

I wish Nile got more screen time. He was such an interesting character with a lot of potential. Not to mention he was strong as hell

[godders]

Madoka was the only real choice for legendary blader

[jaxingoff]

Unrelated but Masamune's two friends losing their Masters beys in Fury is the biggest robbery I've ever seen

[picassojulien]

YES FOR NILE. Nile is one of the most underrated characters in the series. His special move is literally a ONE SHOT. He one shotted lynx and hades crown in metal fury. Masamune to me was just not it for me as a blader. Damian just disappeared so im fine with him not coming back. I rather yuki be replaced by someone.

Tsubasa should definitely be a legendary blader. He achieved a lot by freeing himself from the dark power. Moreover, he is talented, intelligent and it's hard not to like him.
Nile is incredibly strong. Horuseus is a unique bey and has very strong attacks. If the anime creators didn't want to push him into the background, he could really be one of the best bladers, because he clearly still has a lot of hidden potential. It's sad that such a mental weakling as Yuki is among the legends, and Nile has already been pushed aside. After all, Anubis and Horuseus complement each other in Egyptian mythology.

I think tsubasa could maybe have been one sense that could also explain why the dark power chose him after ryoga instead of someone else

I think a lot of people underestimate Masamune because of how many loses he has, but they forget how mucht characters like Gingka and Kyoya improved during metal fusion when they started facing strong opponents.

This is relevant in the case of Masamune because he lived in the US which seemed to weaker competition, since Japan is by far the best beyblade country. For example, Japan's top 3 are Ryuga, Gingka and Kyoya, while the US has Damian, Jack and Zeo, who have all gone through arrangements.

This means that Masamune probably hadn't faced a lot of strong opponents before coming to Japan, which means he had a lot of room for improvement during Metal Masters, like Gingka and Kyoya during Metal Fusion. That means Masamune improved a lot with every battle during the world championships, and ultimately became one of the strongest non legendary bladers by the time of Metal Fury.

Imo Tsubasa should've been one, I know they didn't really use him later on but he had tons of potential! Instead they make Kenta who didn't even earn it, he got it handed to him by a dying Ryuga.

[jonathansen]

Sora and cyber Pegasus were very underrated. He started like a weakling but became stronger over time and a hero later on and he vowed to surpass gingka with more training and development. But he never got a chance again except a sideline regional qualifier where he was placed 7th.

[ashhabimran]

I'd also give Dashian a shoutout here, him beating Julian cemented him as one of the strongest bladers in Metal Masters

[lastace]

That should have been a reason to introduce Helios and Sol Blaze

[Chippin]

I agree tbh a lot of these legendary bladers were new characters introduced just for the purpose of being that legendary blader. It would have been better if a lot of the old characters turned out to be legendary bladers

[jxrrxd]

Nile also intercepted and stopped Kyoya's special move in metal fury in the battle with Dynamis, Gingka, Aguma, and Bao. That's a really cool underrated feat. I think he's absolutely on that level

[progameroshawott]

I think they could have pulled off a really cool plot line by making Damian a legendary blader. Dude wasn’t really pure evil he was groomed by Dr Ziggurat as a child knowing basically nothing in his life other than being a glorified lab rat. His whole life basically crumbles in the end of masters and they hadn’t given him a proper satisfying conclusion so I am sure they could have done the “bad guy turned good” trope with him much better than they did with Chris since there was prior build up in metal masters. They did it in the manga after all so why not in the anime as well?

[yatagarasu]

Yuki was by far the most boring character. Giving him the legendary status over Tsubasa is at the top of fictional crimes

[ednamodee]

Dashan was definitely robbed idc what anyone says

[minhnguyenquang]

My boy Masamune was done dirty so many times 😢 Exist only to hype up Ginga, King and ultimately Chris.

[troba]

Tsubasa and Masamune deserved to be legendary bladers
