something that I like about zyro and his unique way of being able to turn every enemy he makes into a new friend is how it happens, because every single time he does it, it’s at a point when their beybattle just becomes a game. Beyblade is such a unique storytelling device and I think about this A LOT, mainly because there’s a lot of mfb characters where im like, there’s so much shit I’ve just made up about them that I could just turn them into an oc IF NOT FOR THE FACT that beyblade is such a specific medium of showing their character and growth that you cannot remove any of them from beyblade and still have it make sense, and like a lot of that comes from how multifaceted it is as a Thing That Exists in its universe. Beyblade is a sport, it’s a spiritual experience, it’s a means of violence, it’s a way to make connections. Beys are objects, they’re companions, they’re weapons, they’re friends, they’re tools. Beyblade encompasses SO MUCH, but at the end of the day, the core of the themes of the story come from the fact that, ultimately, beyblade is supposed to be fun. What matters is that you enjoy yourself while you’re doing it. And that’s why it’s so interesting where those turning points are for zyro and the antagonists he faces. It exists on a smaller scale with characters like shinobu, where they initially just REALLY piss each other off and their main motivation in their conflict is just how much they piss each other off, but their one-day tournament battle is just so much fun that shinobu can’t help but stick around. Even if it’s not the end of their early conflict, that battle and the fun they have during it is what makes shinobu become Zyro’s friend. With the unabaras, once their and Zyro’s battles stop being about trying to best each other and just become facing each other with everything they’ve got for the love of the game, they too become part of the group. On a larger scale, it makes me really emotional how this happens with Sakyo and kira too. Sakyo is introduced as a dangerous, unpredictable wild card. His first battle with Zyro is filled with so much spite and hate that Zyro resorts to very petty arguments trying to justify his loss, with the promise that they’ll meet again for a rematch later. Zyro’s training for this battle is intense because Sakyo is an intense opponent, but by the time their nbb battle comes around, it serves as such a shift in their relationship and Sakyo’s character. There’s the whole fated rival’s commentary that happens from the sidelines, which is interesting, because they’re meant to specifically parallel gingka and Ryuga, but when gingka and ryuga’s rivalry was always intense and had that undercurrent of violence no matter how much both of them changed, once zyro makes Sakyo realize the truths about the bladers spirit and all that, their battle is no longer a match between enemies, but between two spirited bladers pushing each other to their limits. There’s no good or bad that decides the outcome of the battle, just who wants it more. And it is after this battle that Sakyo resolves himself to change, to truly become better as a blader and as a person, and he is never an antagonist again, and it’s all because he had fun playing a game against someone who opened his eyes to just how fun that game could be.

And all of this is even more so for kira, who is a continued antagonize throughout the season, who openly REJECTS Zyro’s olive branch and deliberately continues to make an enemy out of himself. And for a while, the scope of understanding towards him is narrow. For a while, the perspective really becomes “I hoped you could change, but you haven’t, and I can’t let you keep doing this” but the solution was never to just defeat kira, because kira was never that simple. Zyro’s unrelenting force of friendship and empathy make it impossible for it to just be as easy as defeating kira, and in their final battle, he can’t help but extend a hand to him still, and kira, this time, takes it. Kira is such a layered character which make him as a villain so heartbreaking, so for Zyro to never give up on her and to continue to reach out and SUCCEED and getting through to her makes it all the more satisfying when kira disregards doji, disregards their plan, disregards anything about anything that’s happened between them prior, and just says, “okay Zyro, let’s battle!” with a true, genuine smile across his face. When there’s so much hanging in the balance (haha(unintentional)), what saves the day in the end is having fun playing a game with a new friend, and I just think that’s beautiful and says so much about the kind of character that zyro is

Mayblade 2026, day 24: friendship

[shinystealingbirb]

no, she says. Her blading uniform is too improper for her new role. She will need new clothes.

hikaru does not let the words sink barbs into her throat. they come out unblemised, and the pleading never makes it to Ryo Hagane’s ears.

He agrees heartily, glad she had thought of it. He is also unfamiliar with the buisness world. He is glad to have a clever friend by his side. “Pick whatever you like. Its on me. Buisness expense,” he adds giddily. He should keep her close. She is far better suited for the buisness world than he.

hikaru wishes he would refute her. she wishes he would say that he likes her clothes, metal-studded, leather-bound. That he prefers her sharp as broken glass. She wishes he would say that space can be made for her in a world of men like Doji, or better, that her sharp edge doesnt belong here at all, and send her to watch over the same stadium where she couldnt meet Ryugas eyes. But Ryo wouldnt do that, because he is kind.

she wishes he were not kind, and that she was not wave-worn, and she wishes all the way to the store where she finds a suit with sweet, puffed sleeves and a tailor who takes in the waist too much that she was not seaglass, collected and kept and forgotten.

Hi everyone! I wanted to announce a little in advance that I will open some commission slots again on may 30th! I will have limited slots open for more complicated drawings and might take longer to work on them too due to a combination of things. You can again also order through DMs and ask for an invoice of course.

This time around I removed some commission options, like the anime style screencaps for example. I know it's usually a popular option for clients but it represents a lot of work and extra strain I'm not up to provide for now, I hope you understand! I also added a cheaper smaller chibi option as well that I want to try out.

Thank you so much for everyone's patience and good wishes, I hope you will consider me for future purchases or share my work too 🧡

Mayblade - 1. Good

Shoyo has a lot of complicated and conflicting thoughts about being good. What does it even mean to be good when all your life you were shaped to avoid it. The tiny amount you were allowed to be was never good... so would you even be someone, if you try to change and become better?

Guys I spent so long on the sketching phase because I redrew the expression and pose so many times... The curse of having a very specific vision for this. I'm not even completely satisfied with it but it's good enough, I hope the emotions behind it translate at least a little.. I'm also trying to participate in mayblade this year, after so long.. I'll be slow and late but I hope I can make a couple more drawings this month.

Mayblade Day 28 - Modern

you ever think about how eight unabara is gen alpha

[noximation]

Adult Reiji (Beyblade Beyond)

During the Battle Bladers era, Reiji Mizuchi was released for one simple goal: crush the hearts of weak Bladers and destroy Gingka Hagane. In the many years since that mission failed, he had been growing his strength in the background and cultivating an empire of possessed souls; and with the world still recovering after the devastating Nemesis battle, Reiji slithers through the cracks that the WBBA are still trying to mend, presenting himself as their biggest enemy since.
