This show is a sequel to Beywheelz. Sho, Jin, and Leon return. No other season 1 character returns or is even mentioned.
Characters: Beywheelz didn't have the best characters. So instead of bringing back those who were interesting, the show brought back our three main heroes, who also happen to be the main flaw of the previous season. Sho gets even less characterization than before. Leon's existence is irrelevant. Jin's personality went from barely existent to nonexistent. Our new characters are only a bit better. Rachel only serves to provide exposition. Jimmy exists for no reason. Most one-off characters also don't have a reason to exist nor do they bring anything to the show. Ricky, Armes, Task, and Kaiser are the only ones worth talking about. Ricky stated that he came from another world, much like Sho, but that is never expanded upon. Armes wants to prove that he is the strongest battler, and actually hasn't character development. Task serves Kaiser and is willing to go through with Kaiser's plan even when it harms him. Then he joins the heroes for no reason. Kaiser tried protecting the world but realized that the only way to do so was through a totalitarian regime, where threats to the people could not arise. Overall, Armes' plan was intriguing, but that the highlight.
Plot: Once upon a time, six mythic beasts brought prosperity to the land. A villain by the name of Tempest tried using them for his own selfish goals, but the hero Flame managed to stop him, costing his life. Then the six beasts disappeared, and drought came upon the world. Now the six chosen battlers must help each beast regain energy so they can rise again. The main plot is uninteresting. The side plot of Armes helping Task revive Flame as Kaiser Grey to then defeat him and prove that he is the best battler was stupid, but also entertaining. But because that plot happens so late in the season, it can't save this show
Action: by far the worst of any Beyblade season. Each blader in the other seasons has some sort of unique ability, but here everyone's battle styles are the same. It took me a while to realize why, but then I noticed there were no special moves. If you're familiar with other Beyblade series, you probably remember some special moves, like Starblast Attack or Galaxy Twister. Each move gave a sense of uniqueness to the characters, even if they had little screen time. Here, everyone battles the same way. And it's not even in an exciting manner
Music: again comparing it to other Beyblade series, I usually remember it. Whether it be songs that played during battle or a particular character's theme. Here, I don't. The fact that I can remember that Ryan's theme in Beywheelz is based off of Damian's theme from Metal Masters but can't remember any music from this show says enough about it
Overall: I finished the series, so it can't be that bad. It's not unbearable, but it certainly isn't enjoyable either
