after reading the translated beyblade x chapter 14 i think i that they have written themselves into a corner

1. im still salty that multi was robbed but thst has a whole new problem as since mumti who was dedicated and constantly striding to be better lost, and now in chrome vs kamen x chrome has been working to get stronger and better if he loses to kamen x then what does that say about hard work especially since the anime has shown that kamen x basically does no training

now bird winning in round 3 would speak to the benefits of effort and kamen and bird winning would send the message that the motivation that wins is blading for fun not to beat someone but at least for me a multi and bird win wouldve been more satisfying.

also sidenotw i was wrong about kamen z. i was expecting a funny haha silly guy but no hes actually a cool dude, first seeing his fully body i love the outfit, second he has a chill vibe i like how hes like il show u why im here and how he seems to be a strategy guy when he comments on chrome going second, idk he has a vibe i like

also the new chapter raises some ge questions like i kinda assumed all the characters were 15-17 15 for most characters and 17 for some exceptions namely burn (in charge of a company), shiguru (older sibling), and maybe chrome (tall) but like the new chapter makes me think the gap is wider with how ex is portrayed in the flashback or chrome sees ex as a hyperactive child which i like

i already tackled the persona vs pendragon match from the perspective of multi but now i want to do it from the perspective of kamen x as i have realised he has also been screwed over but rather than in universe its out of universe.

the score is 1-0 pendragons favour now if kamen x wins it is instantly less interesting as kamen x has won every match so far. the more interesting outcome is for him to lose to chrome, pretend that multi won and then kamen x loses that puts something interesting on the board the 2 characters who have won are motivated by desire to win against a specific person this calls the battle for fun mindset into question for a second until kamen looks up starts laughing and saying that he and chrome need to battle again some time this would prove that blading for fun is better because kamen x still got a happy ending and now we move into birds match.

but instead kamen needs to win against chrome or persona loses and i cant see him losing as that deprive bird of his match and that doesnt feel likely considering the build up of bird eventually winning.

actually while im here im gonna talk about bird aswell. asuming kamen x wins, bird is going 3rd against kamen z a relative unknown now bird has lost every battle so far so it feels like he should win and i think the way to do it is with the unseen x.

chrome has been looking for the unseen x for the whole story he thinks kamen x has it and so is trying to replicate it by copying kamen x BUT BIRD LITERALLY HAS THE X IN HIS EYES if they dont reveal bird the blader who has insurmountable will power the one who got up after every loss, the blader who always comes back to beyblade despite being better suited to other things because he loves the game that much. if bird kazami is jot fge one with the unseen x i will be shocked hell it even works in the sense of unseen as both birds skill is unseen as he hasnt realised himself but also people look over bird. imagine if chrome sees the x when bird battles kamen z

i just thought of this as writing but imagine if bird and kamen z draw and chrome sees the x and asks kamen z to step down so he can battle bird and then he loses to bird. that would be so cool. but at the same time i think 2 losses in a row might devalue chrome.

i also have a sense for how long and focussed a pist should be sp im gonna save the vermillion bird tyrade for another time
