when someone is completely fucking wrong about your blorbo but you don't want to argue about what basically boils down to opinions about shit that doesn't matter so you just sit there like
This episode honestly broke my heart. It saddens me to see Takao. He is such a sunny and friendly guy. Always sees good in others, gives in 100% to every friend he makes but is still betrayed.
From an emotional point of view , this is saddening. Takao doesn't get back as much as he gives. There is limited number of friends Takao has who are genuinely invested .
Though looking at it from a cool headed approach they aren't wrong but still.
Tyson has his flaws but his abandonment issues do quite a number on him. Rei and him have always had this tension (and ngl, people call tyson a dick in both vforce and g rev but Kai and Rei are as much to blame, or probably worse). plus he does give more, he always has. that's just who he is.
i doubt they were all even that close after grev. things did drastically change. and that's a sad fact. glad that kenny and hilary are there for him.
I might do the white tigers or some of the metal saga characters for head canons next if I can get some good ideas in, I wasn't able to brainstorm another fic but I'd love to hear any recs so I can use them as a jumping off point
Head canons under the cut :3
Tyson Granger/Takao Kinomiya:
He likely only started catching feelings for you after the world championships; while everyone would tell him to get off his high horse you would help him talk through the things that brohtered him and encourage him by saying "it's nothing the world champion can't handle, you just need to try a different approach."
You’re the first person he goes to when he wants to rant or complain about something and the only one he would actually listen to
Doesn't matter what his mood is, anytime he tastes good food his first thought is "oh wow y/n should try this!"
He’s the jealous type, doesn’t help that most people around you guys say you could do better than him
He likes picking you up and spinning you around when he’s exited
It looks like it annoys him that his grandpa and you are so close, but he’s just nervous that his grandpa’s gonna embarras him somehow
He's definitely more of a night-owl than a morning person, so late night hangouts are the norm with him
Works out too since he's a diner-date person and his favorite diner happens to close late
Will want to share a milkshake with you, like large milkshake with whipped cream, two straws and a cherry on top. It's been his dream since he first started catching feelings for you
He starts taking his lessons with his grandpa more seriously too, mostly because he wants to show off for you
Max Tate/Mizuhara:
Absolutely adores you
Pretty big on pda, he wants everyone to know you’re dating so he’s usually holding your hand or has an arm around your shoulder
Talks about you to his parents a lot, specifically his mom. He tells you a lot about them too, he’s definitely a family man
He loves cuddling with you, letting him be little spoon makes him feel so relaxed and when he’s big spoon he loves nuzzling his cheek into your back or against yours
Has a few cat plushies on his bed that you gifted him and doesn't catch on to the fact they all have a :3 face
He calls them your children and gets upset if he wakes up to see they've fallen off the bed
Surprisingly, when he started teaching you English he started with swears
You once had a conversation consisting of only the word "fuck"
Doesn't get jealous, not easily at least. He's comfortable in his relationship with you and wouldn't dare think to not trust you
Definitely tries to put you on to adding mustard to every meal. He's not too pushy on it but he'll suggest it every few meals even if the answer is no
Ray/Rei Kon:
Oh the duality of him-
Ray's such a gentlemen and loves doing things for you
Giving-wise, acts of service is his love language
He holds doors open for you and pays for things you like without a second thought
He'll usually have his hand on your waist while you two walk if he's not holding your hand
Even if he knows you're fully capable of taking care of yourself, his instinct is to protect you over himself
He also likes teasing you or making you cringe though, he can't get enough of your reactions
You once made the mistake of explaining what an e-kitten was and now it's your contact name on his phone
He'll call you his kitten mostly when its just you two but every now and then he'll say it when you guys are in public, only when he's sure no one's listening to what he's saying though
It's not that you hate it per se it's just kind of embarrassing and he respects that, he enjoys how pouty it makes you though
This man also likes biting you for some reason; Shoulder, arm, neck, ear, fingers and hand
Tickling you is another way he likes teasing you
Kai Hiwatari:
You’re very likely his first relationship
He’s not good at communicating but he definitely tries to make an effort with you, so some of the things he says may sound short and to the point
He’s very protective of you, he was def paranoid for awhile that you would be attacked because of how much you meant to him
He also loves cuddling, specifically being big spoon; having you between his arms comforts him of his fears of losing you somehow
He gets jealous easily but doesn’t show it much aside from glaring, the most he’d do is probably go up and put an arm around you unless they’re outright flirting with you
His love language is quality-time, whether you're doing something with each other or parallel-play he's happy just being in your presence
He'll deny it but he likes showing off to you too, physically and monetarily
He doesn't really flex his money at least until you guys are 18 or so, he's just smart with what he wants to invest in
Of course he'd buy you gifts and plan really nice dates, but on your 18th birthday he surprised you with a car, your favorite model and in your favorite color
He greatly thanks his position to inherit the Hiwatari military enterprise, and really tries to work to make the company grow so that you would never have to work a day in your life.
You know, we never did get clarification in the anime if Kai always dresses the way he does or if its like a blader persona. We saw a glimpse of him dressed more "normal" in vforce when he was at school. But its usually assumed he was just being forced to follow a dresscode (tho the piercing would probably break that if he was still in Japan LOL Kai pls)
I love that Rising showed him actually dressing like a regular teenager when he wasn't blading. I love that he's eccentric enough to have a whole persona and outfit just for blading and he'll change into it beforehand.
Reminds me of what the Euro team does LOL and I bet he would hate that comparison.
Every time Mayblade comes around, I end up rewatching so much Beyblade and I genuinely can’t fathom how anyone can call Takao weak or pathetic.
Keeping his beyblading skills aside, like physically he is so strong. In V-force, he matches up with the driving speed of cars on a bicycle TWICE, he literally runs the length of half a town within minutes.
Even with Kendo, his grandfather is a Kendo master (you can’t get the license to teach or run a dojo unless you get to a certain level, trust me I’ve done plenty research) and Takao is often shown to outsmart him during training, landing direct hits on him. This also proves that he definitely knows how to strategise, to land a hit on your opponent in kendo, takes not just strength but concentration and quick thinking.
During the abducted island part, his ankle breaks pretty early on in the arc but he actually does suppress all of that pain and is hyperactive and goes on to battle through all of it AND WIN mind you 😤 He also has to be held back so many times when he gets angry, like everyone just knows he’d throw a few punches and start a fight (that he will 100% finish).
And I was just watching the first episode of Grev yesterday and I realised that when Daichi shows up with his unconventional way of battling outside of the Beystadium, there are two moments that make Kai smile. First is when Daichi taunts Takao about not wanting to step outside his comfort zone, Takao immediately takes up his challenge and commands Dragoon to follow Gaia Dragoon up the hill. Kai sees this and smirks at how easily Takao has kept up with Daichi. Next when Takao is struggling against Gaia Dragoon’s attack, Kai advises him to focus on the beyblade itself - and sure it’s Kai who points him in the right direction, but the one who comes up with the strategy to use Daichi’s own play against him and totally destroy him in the match is Takao. That’s why Kai smiled when Takao wins because he knows that Takao is just that strong, and can’t be done in with new tricks so easily.
And this is just one example, there are sooo many more.
Like does nobody ever stop to think that maybe the reason half the plot of Grev is everyone wanting to compete against Tyson and beat him to prove their own worth is because they all think Tyson is just that strong?
The only thing that actually weakens him is when his mental health takes a hit after his friends abandon him, literally the only time he hasn’t been able to battle at full strength in any of the seasons is when he the opponent in front of him was someone he considered a friend or an ally.
Literally one of the most well rounded protagonists in shonen/sports anime and people like to downplay his character as “plot armour” just because they actually refuse to watch all the scenes that clearly showcase his various strengths (and weaknesses).
Can confirm, this is true. (Also in the Manga, he does occasionally throw actual punches lol)
This also isn't to mention how he pretty seamlessly adapts to beybladers literally warping reality around him, like Tala and especially Brooklyn. One of the things I actually really appreciate a lot about Classic Beyblade is the way a lot of the themes run through a whole season, I think G-Revolution is a perfect example of this. OP mentioned the scene in episode 1 where Daichi's Gaia Dragoon is knocked out of the stadium, but he insists on continuing to battle, stating that "Where I come from, the whole world is our stadium!" and Tyson, of course has to adapt to this. But that doesn't stop after the first episode, it's a running theme throughout the whole season, with many of the stadiums they battle in during the tournament taking on the form of large and open outdoor spaces rather than standard issue dishes or even the more enclosed special stadiums in the first season. This all ends up culminating in Tyson literally having to beybattle in the sky of Brooklyn's New World where there is no ground let alone a stadium, and at that point...he just kinda does it.
Tyson's charisma levels are also off the charts if you want to get even more technical. Maybe it's more "persuasion" I'm not sure, but it's worth noting that he pretty much single handedly reformed several otherwise evil or shady beybladers, convincing them to stop cheating, often times while mid-battle with him, and always resulting in him winning.
This is technically a separate topic, but it's worth noting, too - if we considering the Manga continuity as canon in place of Anime Seasons that don't exist, Tyson is also the most versatile protagonist, with experience in every generation of Beyblade (Prior to X) as per the Beyblade Rising Manga where he and the OG's experience Beyblade Burst, and the Metal Fight system wouldn't have existed without the HMS. But I digress, I'm really just geeking out here because I have a deep appreciation for OG.
He's not my favorite Beyblade Character, but he's certainly still my favorite of the protagonists.
Yuriy knew about Volkov's plans and so Neoborg entered into the World Championships in order to stop Volkov. Yuriy's goal was to become champion so that he could interfere with BEGA before it even got started...
In order to ensure his victory, Yuriy reached out to Kai to join them so they could use his strength and guarantee they'd make it to the top.
All this right after Kai had said:
No matter what Kai does, no matter what path he travels, even when he thinks he's in control (in this case using Yuriy to get to Takao) Kai's decisions have NEVER been his own.
In the moment Kai joins with BEGA, Kai is MAD, and I think the choice comes as completely irrational. But he's so SICK of everyone using him.
Okay, so after a decent amount of time searching the web, I have finally found an official Japanese website where you can legally read the Beyblade Rising manga.
https://www.corocoro.jp/title/383
Most chapters you can read for free. However, the last chapter is, unfortunately, paywalled.
Does anybody know what happens in the last chapter? I can only use Google translate for Japanese, and I have no clue if they accept PayPal and really don't wanna give any out payment information on websites where I don't speak the language.
