its so much better than beyblade shogun steel and its very entertaining all the characters have their own personal story not and follow the path their minds want to take them and not like shogun steel were every character just wants to win all the time. in my opinion i still prefer the metal fusion because its a better story line and the toys and more fun to play with. beyblade burst toys are selling better than shogun steal as well.

For a start Beyblade has been a weak anime that only really made money out of the toys. Metal fusion & Shogun steel have had a major downfall. Beyblade burst has become the most entertaining and for once made more money out of the show than toys.the characters Volt, Shu, Xander etc. all have their own style, appearance will be recognized in the world of anime for a while.....

Gets better the more you watch it

This series is a reboot of Beyblade. Again. This is the fourth "saga" of the franchise. It changes the format to a point based system for battles and now bursting your opponent is a win condition. The plot is also less "save the world/stop evil organization" and more "kid enters tournament. Tries to win"
Characters: some characters are unbeatable while others are great. The protagonist Valt isn't very enjoyable and can be irritating at times. Wakiya and Lui are constantly unbearable. Daigo's characterization is inconsistent. But Shu is very well-written. Zac and Xander always make an episode better. And Rantaro aka Honcho hasn't some very memorable moments ("Man cannot survive in green onion alone") Characters like Ben and Quon can feel underutilized at times but when we do see them they're great. Orochi is by far the most underused character this season despite also having the best voice acting on the show as well as a very interesting ability to hear burst finishes.
Plot: Valt enters the district tournament. There he battled bladers like Honcho, Ken, and Daigo. The winner gets to compete at the nationals. He also starts a Beyblade club at his school, which aforementioned opponents join. After Valt loses to Shu in the finals, he gets an invitation to the regional tournament. Winners of each block at the regionals get to go to the nationals as well. Every member of the beyclub gets an invitation, plus Orochi, Wakiya, Hoji, Yugo, and Ukyo. The latter two are part of Sword Flames. Valt and Wakiya win their blocks and get a spot at the nationals. Each competitor at the nationals can become a team captain for a team tournament being held before the individual matches. Valt forms a team with Honcho, Daigo, Shu, and Wakiya. Other teams include the Superstars, which include Zac and Orochi, Sword Flames, with Xander, Yugo, and Ukyo, Ice Blaze, captained by Quon, Beasts, with Ben and Ken, and Rideout, which include Gabe and Lui. We are also introduced to the supreme four. They are the top 4 ranked bladers in Japan, being Lui, Shu, Zac, and Xander. Valt's team comes in second place to Rideout, and Valt promises to beat Lui in the individual matches. We are introduced to more characters in the individual matches, like Naoki and Jin, but they are mostly irrelevant. Valt beats Xander and Zac if the supreme four on his way to the finals, while Lui beats Shu. Lui takes the win and his 5th consecutive title after what he himself describes as a "freak accident." Valt accepts the loss, and claims that he will beat Lui someday. The plot is alright. However, the final battle was terrible. It was intense and I was invested in it, but then Valt lost to his bey tripping on a crack in the stadium. Valt was going to win, but the stadium damage beat him. Not Lui. Even Lui demands a rematch, but for some reason Valt denies it. Not only is this completely out of character for Valt, it disposes of huge potential for Lui's development.
Action: The CG looks better than it ever has and stands out without feeling out of place. The point system also prevent battles from being too long, a problem previous series had. However, there isn't much variety. Most defense and stamina bladers sill simply take the center and wait. Previous series gave each character a unique style when battling, but in burst Honcho, Ken, Zac, Yugo, and Ukyo all use the exact same strategy, just to name a few. This lack of variety takes away from the action, as attacks like Quake Launch become forgettable because everyone else has something similar.
Music: not the best this franchise has seen, but still very enjoyable. The background music from battles is very intense. But there weren't any particularly memorable moments for music. There was no equivalent of Jack's or Damian's theme from the meta series. Or the battle music from the original. It was good, but not great.
Overall: enjoyable, but with some flaws. If you can look past Valt, this series should be enjoyable

I loved it!! Valt aoi(main character)is a very hyper elementery school student who loves beyblade,he is inspired by his friend shu kurenei who is part of the supreme four.(the best bladers in the country). It's every bladers dream to make it to the national tornament pand valt wants to be the besr blader in the world
Too much yelling
johnnychao-0958914 February 2022
Burst is probably the worst series in the entire beyblade to be honest. The design isn't that amazing, but the worst part of it all is the unnecessary yelling. Sometimes they sound constipated during down time moments for no reason, it's really annoying. I hope they cancel this series. Battle roars is okay but yelling in the middle of the restaurant or something for no reason is so random. Dante, and the brothers are by far the worst characters.
Very good show

One of the best anime's ever

Great Storyline and Fun
chrisbrooks-1925926 August 2021
Fun storyline about the game of Beyblade! This sports based action drama tells a story of a kid learning the game of Beyblade. He makes amazing and great friends along the way while doing everything he can to be best his best in this international game.
It does look like it would be fun to play but now, 2021, seems to be mostly based in Japan which is too bad for the US. I would love to see this on TV!

Nothing but amazing

When the metal saga ( fusion - fury ) ended i was really excited for what more Beyblade has to offer. Shougun steel came in as a huge disappointment. I never thought they could ever top the era of the metal saga but man did they nail it with Beyblade Burst. Every single character has his/her persona that truly impacted me. It wasn't the usual everyone else should follow the protagonist type of thing, everyone had their own path of becoming stronger. The character development throughout the series is just fantastic, the storyline is one of the best. Couldn't put into words how much I loved it. Definitely recommended.
Ps. Shu is the best.

Probably the best beyblade show

Warning: Spoilers
The only one that ever comes close is the metal one. This show right here opened a new door to blading and has amazing plot especially how in the end of the show nothing goes as anyone would have expected (shu loses in the semi finals after making a promise to value to meet in the final + his bey broke and valt lost the final) it had many good fight scenes aswell and the show improves over time + I might aswell yap from now on since I said what I needed to say and sent the message I intended to send and so like this show is great for its characters and fight scenes and the intros are good especially the one in Arabic.
