27 and 28 are done for "Let it rip!"

Seriously! a Beyblade! I haven't made up my mind on whether that's ridiculous or ridiculously awesome :lol

More Meteor is always a good thing, we see some more of tachibana's personality and Gentaro's background.

But Meteor Storm... wtf were they thinking?

Meteor Storm is probably my least favourite upgrade after Beast Hyper.

Beast Hyper wasn't bad. The tassles on his forearms has weapons were a little silly. But Meteor Storm.. As awesome as Meteor was that's exactly how lame Meteor Storm was. Him and his Beyblade.

Hyper isn't as bad as Storm. At least imo.

Okay, the fight with Ryuki and Zolda was pretty great, but highlights the "problem" with this show. The rider stuff, i.e. the actual suit fights, are the best part. But they're BARELY in it. The suit actor for Ryuki has way more personality and energy than Kido, and seeing him and Zolda work together to compensate for Zolda's arm was brilliant, especially Ryuki using Zold's cards and getting his hopes for big guns dashed when they still go to Zolda. I especially love the incredibly small but funny slapstick of Zolda knocking Ryuki in the face with his guns. It wasn't overdone, there were no cartoon sound effects. He hit him by accident and it was funny. And Ryuki using Magnugiga as a sheild to use his strike vent was funny with his Jesus "no, YOU'RE awesome" pose.

I need to get Zolda. I mean, I need to get Zolda and Magnugiga, but Magnugiga is expensive. (Also he's a pretty chill guy, just kind of stands there and shoots. Maybe he's a dumb monster? Huh? You're not to smart, are you boy? Yeah, who's a big dummy? I'm gonna mush up his face and roll him around)

Also, I guess I knew it from Dragredder not getting beheaded each time Strike is used, but Riders wepons are made of parts of their monsters, but their monsters can still show up intact? Interesting, makes me wish the Figuarts did this so Dragredder doesn't lose his tail when I give Ryuki his sword.

But Hyper did the same, it took a base form with an imaginative and fun fighting style and replaced it with a singular and boring weapon. Storm got a beyblade and a curtain rail and Hyper got a makeup mirror and nerf gun.

Again, that's why I like Trial. Accel was strickly a sword fighter, but Trial didn't use the sword all that often (if at all) so he was strickling martial arts and 500-kicks-per-second. Slashing a big "A" into an enemy is cool and all, but nothing beats super-speed kicking them over and over until you've literally kicked a giant "T" onto their body before doing the always awesome "attack name AFTER the fact" move.

Is it just me or am I obsessed with Mirror Monsters despite not having watched Ryuki?

They're pretty cool. The rules to them are quite unique, even if the show kind of ignores them and the rules most of the time.

I find it hard to take Accel seriously. The suggestive driver, the fact he gets riden. It just.. it's just to.. that.
