Hi! I have a question for you. When did you become a KyoGin shipper and what is your favorite KyoGin moment? 💚💙

Hello! Thanks for the question.

Well! It goes back to the first time I watched MFB… in 2012. I caught an episode of Metal Masters on TV, fell in love with Kyouy and binge watched Metal Fusion. And I saw how KyoGin are together and about each other. How they're just… their very own category. I just added it to the anime informations. For me, MFB: they're bladers, they use their beys to save the world, also Kyouya and Ginga are in love XD.

For the first re-watch, I was like "Maybe my imagination got the best of me"… but I didn't remember half of it 🤣 And I noticed new things. I actually notice new things with every rewatch, it's so funny.

There are so many good moments between Kyouya and Ginga!!! That's like… 50% of the anime (I'm only half-kidding). Kyouya spending his time helping Ginga, Ginga treating him so differently from his friends, their rivalry, their battles…

It's difficult to choose one moment, but I'll try.

*intense thinking*

It's really difficult.

I was going to choose episode 103 (for the whole Kyouya drama, for Ginga not seeing it and their amusement during their beybattle), then episode 108 (for how Ginga calms Kyouya with a few words and how they crush Yuuki XD) but I'm finally choosing when Kyouya battles Damian (Episode 100 of MFB / 49 of Metal Masters) because Kyouya decides to stay behind to help Ginga, and allow him to succeed his mission (he does so often, I know), because Ginga trusts him (like everytime)...

More precisely, the moment Ginga hears Kyouya's pain.

Kyouya: [screams in pain] Scene cutting to Ginga, who immediately stops running and turns around. Ginga: Kyouya?

It's highlighting how special is their relationship. For good measure, there's Masamune around and he doesn't hear Kyouya. But Ginga does. He doesn't doubt it one second. He looks the way he knows Kyouya is, hesitates, and then moves on again. Because he trusts Kyouya to win. And he encourages him inwardly:

Kyouya. You've got to win. I believe in you.

This moment is so special 💙💚

And you? When did you start shipping them and what is your favorite moment?

A special bond

Episode 100

Kyouya: *screams*

Ginga: Kyouya?

Masamune: What is it Ginga?

Ginga: I thought I heard Kyouya's voice.

Masamune: Ah? Say what?

Ginga: Nothing. Don't worry about it. Let's go Masamune.

Masamune: What was that about?!

Ginga, thinking: Kyouya. You've got to win. I believe in you.

THIS scene 💙💚

Do I have to specify I loved it (except the part when Kyouya is literally burning of course :/)? With Masamune who is basically talking to highlight how special is the bond between Ginga and Kyouya. Ginga hears him while it’s not physically possible (Masamune is right here to proove it) and, despite what he says to keep them going and reaching their goal, he knows he wasn’t hallucinating it and he sends his support to Kyouya. He thinks encouraging words, talking directly to Kyouya and not about him, knowing it will reach him some way.

(It’s a part of my presentation with 78 slides - some of you know what I’m talking about xD)

"If Ginga can win against you, there's no way I would lose to you. (…) As long as you're at the end of a leash, you won't get it. Right Leone?"

– Kyouya Tategami, episode 100

Kyouya: character’s development in two quotes (part 5)

Beyblade Metal Fusion

“It was terrible. (...) Even now I can still hear it, the sound of the wind blowing up from the bottom of the valley, the growls of those worthless hungry wolves. You can't even imagine this. The most horrifying place on earth. But I saw it, I lived it!”

- to Benkei, episode 9

“What does someone like you understand about me?”

- to Ginga, episode 10

Beyblade Metal Masters

“This is nothing compared to the special training I went through in order to battle Ginga.”

- to Damian, episode 100

Kyouya learned a valuable and too rare abillity: putting things into perspectives.

He grew up so much since the beginning of the first season, when he was just a bored and spoiled brat, who thinks he was the centre of the universe and that his trials (like losing against Ginga and jumping voluntarily into the Wolf Canyon) were the worst things that could happen in the whole world. Then he saw that some people have real problems (*cough* Ginga *cough*).

“It was terrible. (...) Even now I can still hear it, the sound of the wind blowing up into the valley, the growls and these worthless wolves... You can't even imagine this. The most horrifying place on earth but I saw it, I lived it!”

Episode 100 (Metal Masters)

“This is the power of the wild. There is no one to help you out here in the wild. The only thing you can rely on is your own power. You win or you lose, that's the only law of nature. The only way to survive is to become stronger and you have to do it on your own, alone.”
