>>11059820I mean...it pretty obviously is.
I've heard a theory that each season/arc will focus on a different previous era. The previous gen had the "rebirth" beys for Driger, Dragoon, and Draciel, and the new arc seems to be doing the same with MFB. So with Pegasus I imagine the next ones will be L Drago and Rock Leone getting X equivalents.
>>11060102I actually have a bit of a schizo theory about Bird. The basic is that "Bird hasn't been using HIS beyblade since the start of the series.
Like the other anon said, he's not a shitty blader. Before mister nutcracker decided to pub-stomp, Bird was on a steady increase in strength. But he was doing so with his own bird beyblade that got literally crushed in the first chapter. Then Multi gives him the HellsScythe beyblade with the express purpose of beating him. It's been a second since reading the manga, but wasn't HellsScythe also someone else's bey before multi gave it to Bird? Either way, Bird doesn't have any big backstory or bonding with his Hells bey, it was literally given to him in bad faith. And multi is the one who's making his current line, as well. So Bird's current set is just, more or less, Multi's set on loan.
Now here's where the schizo part starts. We've got a "reincarnation" for Dragoon, Driger, and Draciel in Cobalt Dragoon, Weiss Tiger, and Black Shell. But we don't have a firebird beyblade with the Bakuten Shoot logo tucked away in its design. So there's no Dranzer...yet!
I think that's going to be Bird's beyblade.
I think, from a narrative standpoint, bird's beyblade could be seen as having "died" in Ch1, and his Hells line is supposed to show that his real beyblade is "in hell", and he'll eventually realize that his shit's not working and build his own beyblade. I believe that bey will be a Vermillion Bird. I'll add to this that Bird's main color is Red, and vermilion is a shade of red as well.
So basically Bird gets his shit together when he "gets out of hell".
