Wow so this is one that hits heavy with the Nostalgia, I recently got a unopened Griffolyon 2. Had a lot of fun assembling it. Robert Jurgens is my favourite Majestics member and I really love this purple recolour!

Included a comparison with my anime accurate Griffolyon custom.

First of all, it’s reassuring for me to hear him refer specifically to his “philosophy” because I pulled “battle of philosophies” out of my ass years ago and didn’t think the show would ever back me up. (I learned about it from somewhere, probably TVtropes, but I can’t find a source anymore.)

Anyway, Ralf reiterates that he thought of his holy beast as a tool, so:

and becasuse of that

Halleluja! Concrete in-universe reason for loss. I had honestly forgotten this and was super happy to see it. I’ve said before that when you introduce antagonists that are vastly more powerful than the heroes, to make it believable that the heroes catch up with and defeat them in a short amont of time, you have to give them a concrete chink in the armour to be exploited so that the heroes don’t just win because they are the heroes. And we get that here. Good writing!

Day 4 of 10 days of beyblade Challenge: Favourite character My first anime crush, even though in the anime they depicted him as the boastful, boring old inside and physically unappealing guy in order to exalt Tyson's all colourful and positive attitude. I will always be #TeamRobert 💜 (on the cruise ship the problems were mainly caused by Tyson/Takao's rudeness and unrequited stubbornness)

WHAM BAM just like in the battle against Giancarlo, we remember the theme about using holy beasts as tools.

Takao has ANOTHER flashback to Griffolyon and at this point I want to sit this kid down with a therapist to treat his obvious PTSD.
