What type of Boa fan would I be if I DIDN'T make an in depth character analysis?
1. The beginning
First Boa appearance, he's some random NPC used as a plot device. He's just one of many others, working themselves to brink. We thought "Oh, guess we're never seeing him again" WRONG!
He works his way up the ranks of the Snake Pit and makes his way back into plot relevancy through sheer willpower. Bravo!!And that's not it, he's apparently Red Eye's number one fan at this point. So, when Red Eye leaves, he follows suit.
He doesn't believe in the Snake Pit, he believes in Red Eye. Boa follows Red Eye around, trying to prove himself as worthy to be Red Eyes protoge. But he's not looking at the right person. He should be trying to prove himself to himself first.
Boa works hard and it pays off! He defeats Ren Wu and gains admiration from his IDOL. On a lighter note, Boa seems like a puppy following his owner (who less than loves him but uhhih).
2. Character development begins
After Red Eye's loss to Lui, Boa was confused. The narrative of Red Eye being the strongest Blader in the world, a narrative that he followed almost RELIGIOUSLY just.. Shattered. Gone. He feels lied to, by Red Eye and Ashtem. (What Shu/Red eye feels here is a rant for another dayyy)
During the World Cup, Boa confronted Ashtem. He's not dumb after all. He saw through it. He knows about the Snake Pit operation, the intentions and how harmful it is.
"I really hate you, you know that?"
(Boa to Valt)
Whether Boa wanted to or not, he learned friendship is meaningless, from Red Eye and the Snake Pit. In a dog eat dog world, why make a pact when you can dominate?
Red Eye and Boa didn't have much of a friendship. It was closer to Boa taking notes from Red Eye and then implementing it into his own work.
3. Red Eye/Boa parallel, where they split.
Eventually, he loses. His self worth is already that of a dead rat. Boa never could live up to Red Eyes reputation. Loosing after all that hard work. He's just angry. At the world, at himself.
Much like Red Eye.
He almost destroyed his bey, just like Red Eye. Key difference is that he accepted Valts help.
(THIS SCENE MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONS AUGHS MY SON)
Hes still a bit of a tsundere but he understands that power isn't everything. Boa now understands what it means to Beyblade. Boa finally accepts himself.
4. His inner conflict
Boa is constantly fighting his inner demons. The ones that tell him he's not good enough. He has a.. Less than desirable relationship with Bahamut, the only scene we see of them communicating (outside of battle) is Bahamut making Boa prove his worth.
Boa doesn't even feel worthy of his Beyblade. Finally, he learns to listen to his bey. They learn to become real partners.
5. Overall character traits
Boa is fairly intelligent, yet easily guided. If he falls under bad influences then he's cooked but if picks the right people to follow then he's all good. He's also just talented and strong in general. Unlike most he's not completely power hungry,,,,
I'm not sure if there's anything else left to say uhhhuhhhhh.. My brain is fried.
Hope I've justified why boa is so awesome imo! (ノ^_^)ノ
Boa Alcazaba n1 fan OUT!! 💪
