did i re-analyze beyblade with my over-complication-ness? yes. I don't know how to stress this enough but Phi is the best villain burst has ever had, and it's pretty obvious why. (without doing illegal activities btw.... theadore... im looking at u.)
To start off, i LOVED phi's character so fucking much !! he's just so?? GODD his pathetic NEED to rule over a silly game and gain powers as if he'll die is so poetically pathetic. it's beautiful.
Phi is definitely not a "complicated" character since everything about him is already set in stone, it's pretty bland and boring since he was just portrayed as "the guy who wanted to rule the beyblading world" but it isn't his goal that made him interesting, it was the way he did it AND his thought process.
He's a terrible person, abusing his brother for years only to leave him in the end, cutting all contact without any explanation and then just coming back?? oh, not to mention he definitely has scarred many of the characters throughout the series and thought absolutely nothing of it.
It's the way they didn't even write him feeling mass guilt and/or apologizing at all is such a reckless take for his character by the authors but honestly.... him silently (emphasis on silent) realizing that what he was doing was silly and that he wanted a change was the BEST route they could've gotten for him, honestly.
It really shows how his character is so disconnected to the world and that he just simply doesn't care about what other people think of his actions. it's selfish, it's terrible, it's on-character.
it really makes me think that his actions and blunt disconnection is some sort of parallel to the fact he's described as "other-worldly" (by various characters) in an "ET" way.
Anyways, here's a doodle of him.... my favorite motherfucker <33 WHO DESERVES SOOO MUCH MORE ATTENTION IN THIS DEAD FANDOM.
the first cunty manipulator i ever fell inlove w btw..... hez so aroace coded u cannot argue w me on tjis
