LETS GOOO! Legit this episode is where the animation on beyblade is just taken to another level. Like it influences how important fights are in the future, and there is always a moment where you can tell a battle is gonna be hype just from the animation. Edit: Oh you are goated for showing the list of animators that worked on episode! Without them this episode couldn’t have happened
Dude this fight made me absolutely LOVE Cho-Z/Turbo. The animators absolutely COOKED with the animation and choreography. And the voice acting was PHENOMENAL! I felt my hairs stand on end when Naru cheered for Aiga on in the last minute. And the GOD DAMN MUSIC!!
W!!!! Burst definitely worth it, made me think of Burst a lot differently since I grew up with OG and Metal. Aiga vs Phi is phenomenal plus just the hype and intensity the battle has. 10/10 experience glad you enjoyed it too Local 🔥🔥
I think you'll really appreciate Aiga's design in GT. Even when he takes a back seat role he still absolutely steals the show when he's there. Aiga easily went from one of my least favorite to favorite characters and I think the show kinda wants you to do that. Changing the protagonist is something you have to do very carefully. Idk why people hate this man so much, I fuckin love cho z 🤷
For real I LITERALLY HATE IT!!! when people say that aiger is just winning because of plot armor.... Like STOP DIDNT YOU SEE THAT AIGER HAS A STRONG BOND IN THE START IS BECAUSE HE MADE ACHILLES HIMSELF and ALWAYS TALKS TO HIM also he becomes stronger by growing as a person. Learning from his mistakes and trying to make a stronger bond with achilles. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A REAL BOND AND THATS WHY AIGER IS MY FAV PROTAG FOR HE ISNT PERFECT and makes mistakes like everyone
I like how Phi this whole episode was the embodiment of that “Beyblade is not that serious.” trend at the start of the year lol He traded sanity for the animation budget
Something I like about this fight is that the only real stakes are the beys breaking. Every fight from the first Burst and God was just a ring/spin finish first then a burst to let characters like Valt or Shu get the comeback. But we as the audience know that during this fight there is ONLY one way to win, and it’s the way both sides like it. Phi bursts beys to destroy and overpower as Aiger bursts beys not to be stronger anymore, but as his own reward for giving it everything he has. This fight genuinely is my second favourite fight after Valt vs Xander (Quarterfinals).
This fight ALONE, carried turbo for me.. Especially considering the episode buildup from this. I GENUINELY thought Aiga would lose this fight and for the first time ever since watching beyblade. I did not know who would win.
@@ConstantinDOSSOU-vy1zo it makes sense. If aiger lost then Phi would had to 1v1 Valt which makes sense. It wasn't as obvious as the previous season finale
As someone who was in the stream, you made a good choice not looking at chat for ep 50. Also, I didn't even notice some of the small details you mention untill this video. W video as always. ❤
I don't think you've noticed, but another detail, is that after bursting Phoenix, In the scene where Phoenix parts are falling in the ring and Achilles is wobbling, is the exact same scene as when Valt Beat Red Eye in the finale of Evolution, Its an Insane Detail That I've seen few catch it
@@TheLocalW Thank you, you could also say Phi is Zamasu (the hair, the pose, the speech). Also, why are Beyblade villains obsessed with Sephiroth? Brooklyn (the wings), Faust (his design/backstory/powers), Phi (Phi), and one more later on but I won't spoil.
Dude, I appreciate you recognizing this fight for what it is. CHO-Z was so good and it was the first season I watched and boy was it peak. And what I just respect is how despite Aiga defeating the villain, the writers didn't forget his original goal in mind. I haven't exactly watched the first two but man this one made an impression on me. The other seasons...are not as good though bro. Sorry. 😞 But hey! Still check them out though it's just my opinion and I won't stop you. It's just a shame that after how expressive animation is for beyblade and the feats it has accomplished(like this battle and many more) they wan't to do a live action movie.
Another detail and iIguess crazy foreshadowing,In the theme songs of turbo/cho-z aiga launches infront of a moon while in GT/Rise he cuts the moon in half symbolizing his defeat of phi.IDK that just made sense to me as i watched this video
Initially I appreciated the Burst saga going the "Jojo route" and focus on a new character every season while acknowledging the previous one. However, season 4 onward the pacing is atrocious since its only 26 episodes, and doesn't flesh out the story or characters. Not to mention, the mc in season 4 and 6 are Valt copies. Season 5 there are twin mc, but in my opinion I wish they would've just kept the "blue version" (not going to spoil). Nonetheless, I hope you watch and am looking forward to hearing your opinion.
It is really excellent fight ; it balance the supernatural elements and bey mechanics perfectly. The animation was gorgeous. Overall, Cho-Z/Turbo is a pretty good season: memorable fights, a great protagonist, and an iconic, fearsome villain. In my opinion, it is everything Shogun Steel/Zero-G should have been.
The only thing that I can think of that even comes close to the later seasons imo Is what is considered the best double battle ever (during season 4) I forgot everyone's name since it's been a long time, but the animation went crazy with wierd visual effects and some guy dying in the background due to an explosion(for no relevant reason) And then if I remember correctly this was when Dragon unlocked it's special gimmick, the ability to turn it's eletric driver in the other direction to give dragon the motion of a counter clockwise beyblade. A lot of people hate on season 4 and I would consider it the 2nd biggest fall off, but man it had it's moments.
My second fight in Beyblade burst history.And TBH valt vs Shu in Evolution fight is the best fight in the series.And Didn't agree your opinion about evolution.Anyways Very good opinion expressing from your Perspective
W Take and I 100% agree objectively, but in my opinion Shu vs Phi was still peak, The Strongest Beybreaker in history vs The Strongest Beybreaker of today
Great video! Btw the animation in Beyblade X has improved and the season has 2 more episodes left so considering the improvement of the X Anime I think it’s a good idea if you were to continue it
@@TheLocalW the manga is so fast paced and has barely develops their characters well. But the X anime managed to expand the story line of the manga and make it a whole lot more compelling. Trust me once you get to to episode 26 the story is gonna be peak. Bird still hasn’t won at all but the anime develops him a whole lot more and really emphasizes his growth. The manga just treats it like a gag
People fanboy over MFB and Plastic gen due to how crazy and fantasy based they were. But that meant that Burst had to try harder to cook, which they did, especially in the Dual Layers, God, Cho-Z, and Sparking.
Yeah no cap aiger vs phi hands down the best battle in beyblade burst.it's my favourite beyblade burst battle last 2 battles are the one that legit made me choose this fight as my fav battle in burst i will put aiger vs phi in my top 5 or not top 7 in my fav battles list in all of beyblade.cause og slams even with those early 2000 's animation they are heat and so good.
I mean… if we are talking Animation wise then yeah, they are close, but writing wise is not even close, I must say Sparking/Surge was just really weak written compared to the 4 first
@@brunosanz7477 You are absolutely right about the weak part lol after Cho Z/Turbo the series starts to fall off Sparking and Dynamite Battle are known for not being great
So we are just going to skip episode 51? (One of the worst endings in Beyblade burst?) literally ask any Beyblade fan and they will agree that Cho-z should’ve ended at the Phi battle.
How can one have such a good analysis of Characters and Dynamics and STILL CHOOSE TO FUCKING HOE MY BOY MASAMUNE with another FALSE "Fraud" Claim. Opposite opinions on My GOAT aside though. Yeah Aiga Vs Phi was beautiful on all levels. To this day it's my favorite Final Fight In Burst and really Beyblade in General. I feel like every Beyblade series (besides Beyblade X because it's still to early at this point and no battle has honestly gotten to the level of stakes yet). Every Series Has had that definitive just magical showdown final fight. Kai Vs Brooklyn/Tyson Vs Brooklyn which ever you prefer Gingka Vs Damian/Gingka Vs Rago. and Finally Aiga Vs Phi. In my opinion Season 1-3 were the peak of burst because to be completely honest the quality really does kind of drop from S3 onwards. However season 7 I feel does it some justice and wraps up the series nicely. The animation was visually stunning. Phi was THE MOST INTIMIDATING antagonist to date and that's not even up for debate. Man was always on straight DEMON TIME. Like that one part where he uses Diving Dead Stinger Press To try and shatter Achilles in Mid Air and everything just went silent as his face warps into a monstrous sadistic smile of pure evil had me SHOOK the first time I watched it still has me shook to this day. The opposite ideologies was really what made this fight above and beyond for me. The greatest twist of irony is how in the end Phi's Hubris ended up making his defeat so many more times worse. 1. He would have easily won the battle against Aiga had it just been a regular match. 2. He assumed that Aiga could never have enough power to defeat him. That he could never be TAKEN from which in my opinion is a major part of phi's character. Is his obsession with getting and never giving. 3. In all honesty he was most likely stronger that Aiga in that final match. It was just that one round. That one round that made all the difference. It was all him and no one to blame but himself. 4 His ideology completely beaten out. 5. The fact that Aiga still wanted to battle him again even after all of that. AND THEN THEY THROW ALL THAT AWAY BY BRINGING IN ANOTHER FUCKING PHOENIX USER LATER ON THE SERIES WHERE THEY ALL PRETEND THEY'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE HAHAHAHAHAHA. That's all I'll say though trust me this isn't much of a spoiler because you really won't be missing much at that point when you get there. Last but not least I feel like you would also really like to read this deep dive on Phi's character that might even give some new insight. The first time I read it I was blown away about how much more there was beneath the layer that even a view of his charachter I hadn't thought of. RUclips hates link pasting so I'll just put the name down just copy and paste this. [Mystery Bursters!] - Phi's Resonance. The website it's on is the WBO so just let me know if you see it if not let me know and I'll just send it to you in Discord. I always love coming across just more people getting into the series and discussing things and just sharing a love and passion for my favorite show. Despite how SOME OF YOU keep throwing shade at my boy Masamune >:( Anyway sorry for the long comment but hope it reaches you well man I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I agree on everything (Even the Masamune claims Lol), but Phi wasn’t stronger than Aiger at the End of the Series. He won the first two rounds because Aiger was conflicted and scared, and wasn’t drawing the FP from Achilles, the third round Aiger finally locks in and is able to KO Phoenix (When Phi had the Full Intention on destroying his bey in that battle). In the fourth round Phi wins by KO via using a new move that Aiger hadn’t seen. And all of that was Pre True Resonance Aiger, as said per episode and description, Aiger awakens his true resonance and bond with Achilles in the final round, which gives him a massive power boost in Resonance. And he is able to block off Diving Dread Canon Crush (Phoenix’s move with the Most AP), with Turbo Shield, and also tanks Final Dread Impact just by using his Resonance. Shu also outscales Phi, taking into account Phi literally won by Pure Luck in all of the rounds against him. First one by Phoenix bursting a millisecond after hitting the ground, second one by Phoenix hitting the ground and third one by barely being able to deactivate the Turboblades just when Turbo Spryzen Whip was going to take effect. And Shu was the only character in the series to tank a Turbo Sword + Resonance from Aiger (And it wasn’t able to deactivate Spryzen’s Turboblades), while characters like Laban with Leopard got oneshotted, Phi while Resonating got two shotted and even Valt using Awakened Turbo Flash Launch got burst by it. Aiger > Shu ~> Phi ~ Valt
@@brunosanz7477 I've gotta disagree with that. Remember Phi's goal during his battle with Free and Shu were too break their spirits and torment Valt. By the end of the series yeah Aiga is the strongest for sure. I was talking about in the episode itself because Phi literally would've had 3 points against Aiga. In the battle against both Shu and Free it's shown that Phi was quite literally toying with both of them. In his battle with Free he could've instantly Bursted Free's Fafnir with Dead Cannon as was stated. In his battle with Shu his goal was to once again corrupt Shu. He never actually went all out against Free or Shu like he did with Aiga and it shows. Also you can't really use what happened in previous episodes when Aiga would literally be stronger as the episodes went on. So Aiga not being able to burst Shu in a previous episode doesn't mean that end of series Aiga wouldn't be able to do it because Episode 51 Aiga would be stronger than anyone in the verse and his previous selves. This would also extend to Valt for being able to push Aiga the final version of Aiga that far as well. So Shu quite literally CAN'T be stronger then Phi and Valt by end of series due to lack of feats by that time. Plus losing to Phi. My list goes like this. 1. Aiga 2. Valt 3. Phi 4. Shu 5. Free
@@theblitzblader3967 I agree that Phi was much more powerful than Free, and even if it was stated Phi could have bursted Fafnir that was a Fafnir that wasn’t using any moves and when Free didn’t go all out, since in the second round not only wasn’t Free using his Full Power beyond his body’s limits like the last round, but the Absorb Break he used had already gone away when it got hit by Dread Canon. In the last round it’s quite literally seen that Free + Beyond his limits + FP Resonance + Absorb Break ~ Phi + FP Resonance + Dread Canon since they block each other off at the end of the match. I still agree that he wasn’t going all out against Free, and that in part is because he didn’t know all the moves his bey could pull off. Still disagree with Shu tho. Phi is quite literally seen trying to break Spryzen SINCE round ONE, because Spryzen is hitting Phoenix with its Turbo Blades and Phi is just taking it while smiling, which means he had the Full intention of deactivating the T.B. and win in one round. Phi did toy with Free, but not with Shu. It’s shown by Phi’s expressions that he gets thrown off by Shu many times while none by Free. In match two they even settle to end everything in that match, meaning Phi was still wanting to Break Shu’s bey in the previous rounds, not just in the final one. The thing is that Phi never got a chance to use his arsenal because of being outsmarted by Shu many times, which is part of the battle. New moves or not Shu would have won had he known the Turbo Blades could be deactivated, Phi quite literally won by Pure Luck. Power wise Phi has better AP and Hax, but Shu makes up for that with B Iq and Versatility +Phi only used Dread Gravity + Dread Canon on Shu, he never used that on Aiger You can actually scale Shu to Ep 51 Aiger, Ep 51 Valt and Ep 50 Phi, since in Ep 48 Aiger after the last match with Shu and co. Aiger battles the rest of the Beyclub, battles that were stated to not make Achilles stronger. In Episode 49 Aiger only battles Taiga, which as stated by Taiga himself, battling his son wouldn’t make him stronger. And at the End of Ep 50, Aiger is never seen training, which means it directly scales to his Ep 51 version. End of Ep 48 Aiger ~ Ep 51 Aiger The only thing he got out of Phi’s battle is his true resonance. And the only thing to upscale Valt is just that he was battling a True Resonance Aiger. In terms of AP Ep 48 Aiger (Which as I explained directly scales to Ep 51 Aiger) with Turbo Sword Pre True Resonace only KO Shu using Turbo Counterbreak and his Pre FP Resonance (Seen as Shu didn’t have his eyes glowing red as a means that he is going all out like Free). In Ep 51 in the last clash Aiger calls out Turbo Breaker but the animation shows Turbo Sword, so you can scale it both ways: It should be mentioned that Turbo Sword massively outscales Turbo Breaker AP wise Ep 51 Aiger with Turbo Breaker + True Resonance BURSTS Valt with Awakened Flash Launch + FP Resonance (This completely downscales Valt below Shu, since even if you were to say Aiger didn’t have his True Resonance, in this case Aiger only used Turbo Breaker which is ~ Aiger Pre Awakening ~ Phi FP ~ Valt FP
@@brunosanz7477 While I will agree that 1. Shu definitely gave him a tougher time than Free did 2. They were for sure close in power. I still can't really see how Shu would be at all stronger than Phi or Valt by end of series. Aiga would quite literally have to be stronger than Shu going into his battle with Phi. Phi Vs Shu= Phi won. Shu Vs Aiga= Aiga Won. Think about it like this. Aiga had faced off against Shu for the training. In it Aiga was able to win against Shu but not Burst Spriggan. This would put Aiga still over the level of Shu but not quite on the level of Phi. In the start of the battle against Phi what do we initially see. Phi absolutely taking control of the fight in 3 rounds out of 5. Which makes sense because while Aiga would be stronger then Shu he still didn't have a feat that put him on the level of Phi. As Phi was able to not only win against Shu but BREAK Spriggan as well. Not to mention Phi would also be slightly stronger going into his fight against Aiga then he was against Shu. Phi while surprised at times and caught off guard by Shu's power never felt threatened by it. Furthermore, once Phi had decided he was done toying with Aiga and actually went to try and break Achilles he couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried. He couldn't break OR burst Achilles mind you. This wouldn't be possible if Aiga going into his battle with Phi would be weaker than Shu as he had already shown he was stronger by proxy of actually facing off and winning against Shu. Also a Blader's power doesn't stay static during a match not their full power nor their base power. As we literally see Aiga get stronger during the matches and even eventually unlock his TR(True Resonance) Aiga didn't need TR to beat Shu at Full Power. He couldn't Burst Shu like Phi did but he still won. Aiga would quite literally HAVE to be stronger then Shu going into his fight to stand even a lick of a chance to beat Phi. Aiga struggling against an opponent Phi only took seriously at the very end is a testament to how he started out the battle weaker than Phi. Next is how there's no way Phi could be stronger than Valt. Phi in the battle was not only trying to Break Achilles but by proxy Burst it as well. Valt being able to ACTUALLY burst Aiga's Achilles when even Phi couldn't while Aiga was still WEAKER then him (I'm referring to before the final round between the 2) literally puts Valt above Phi. Regardless of whatever special move was used Aiga in both his fights Against Phi and Valt was pushed to his ABSOLUTE LIMIT. Aiga would literally have to be stronger going into his final fight against Valt than he was with when he faced Shu and when he faced Phi. It'd make no sense for Aiga to struggle against an opponent who you think would be weaker than FP Shu when he didn't need TR to actually beat Shu. Any Aiga past his fight with Phi would for sure be able to Burst Shu from that Ep. I gotta say though i'm really happy to be able to discuss in depth something like this with someone and not just thinking it all in my head haha.
@@theblitzblader3967 Shu can be scaled above Valt and Phi But let’s address things Phi only took control of the first two rounds against Aiga because he was scared making him not draw his FP Pre TR. Phi taking control of two rounds against a Nerfed Aiga is kinda fodder. That’s like saying Lane in B.B. Sparking Manga is massively stronger than Hikaru when he only won against a Scared wore Down version of him. On FP conditions for both, the third round went to Aiga while the fourth went to Phi. Making them ~ Phi even if not threatened by Shu’s power literally won by luck. And he didn’t have control of the battle since he was mostly relying on pure luck the whole time, not in his beys capabilities or B Iq like he did against Free. He was SOLELY relying on Shu not knowing that the Turbo Blades could be deactivated. If Shu had known that, his whole strategy of hitting Phoenix with Spryzens turboblades to make it close to burst but not draw out the armor would be radically changed to what Shu told Aiga, to go Defensive until he could go Offensive. And even with that strategy, as I said, Phi won by pure luck. During the two first rounds Shu completely outsmarted and very easily held his own against Phi. Also, when Aiga won against Shu in Ep 48, not only did he BARELY Win by KO, but Shu wasn’t using his FP. His FP Resonance is when he has the animation in which his eyes turn red and draws out his FP. He never had that in training. Plus, in the final clash, he used Turbocounterbreak, instead of Turbo Spryzen Whip, this last one implied as being Shu’s strongest move. That’s why I would put Shu ~> Pre TR Aiger And the thing is that when Phi tries to fully go and break Achilles, Aiger ALWAYS USED a special move, unlike Valt who just bursted a Resonating Achilles via speedblitz (Which is why I said that he could burst Phoenix if Phi doesn’t have time to react) The only time in which Aiger doesn’t use a special move in the final round Is when Phoenix uses Double Dread Canon and sends Achilles Flying. Shu being ~> to Pre TR Aiga doesn’t mean that Aiger can’t tank Phi’s moves, since he constantly showed way more Durab than Spryzen via Special Moves (E.g. Turbo Defense/Shield). The thing is that Spryzen has better AP, Shu is a way better strategist with more experience and versatility. And as I said Shu was stronger than Phi. So it does make sense. Aiger’s Resonance DOES get stronger with each match. But the Base power of the bey does stay static or just variates by a minimum. If Aiger gets strong with each round, then he should have got stronger against the Bey Club or Taiga but is stated multiple times that WON’T make Aiga stronger. Aiga only started the battle weaker than Phi because of being scared/nerfed. It’s is showed Pre TR both at FP they are equal. And Phi doesn’t only take Shu seriously in the final round. Before their first round Phi consistently praises Shu’s power, but thinks he is stronger than him. Before the second round Phi quite literally states that Shu’s destruction value has gone up (And the only other blader he was planning on destroying was Valt, meaning that even Phi just by seeing Shu’s power in the first Round saw him as an equal to Valt) As I said the difference between Aiger vs Phi and Valt vs Aiger is that against Phi Aiga kept SPAMMING Strong Special moves to counter Phoenix’s special moves, compared to Valt that ONLY BURSTED AIGA because of pulling his awakening, and speedblitzing with T. Flash Launch before Aiga could use any move. The special moves used are Really Important Aiga actually didn’t struggle against Valt for most of the rounds. He just used moves that didn’t have the AP to surpass Valt’s, but rather equal him. It’s consistently shown how Valt just has the upper hand on Aiga when 1. He doesn’t use a Special Move 2. Speedblitzes him. In all the Special Move Clashes Aiga constantly wins. Just imagine if he had used Turbo Sword during the second round in their clash. Valt would have been COOKED. That’s just the writers making the fight interesting. The BEST FEAT from Valt is getting bursted by a TR Turbo Achilles that used Turbo Breaker (Valt was at his strongest FP Resonance + Awakened Flash Launch) The BEST FEAT from Shu is getting KO BARELY by a Pre TR Turbo Achilles that Used Turbo Sword (Shu WASN’T at his strongest, he used Turbo Counterbreak, consistently implied as being weaker to T. Spryzen Whip, and didn’t have his animation of FP Resonance) EVEN if we were to go by your logic were TR Aiger >>>> Pre TR Aiger to massively highball Valt, Shu still outscales by a mile Ap and Dura wise. Shu never went all out against Aiga. That’s a big misconception. He never used his FP Resonance nor his strongest move (T. S. Whip) Had Shu used T. S Whip instead of T. Counterbreak, both of them would get KO with Aiger having a high chance of bursting. Had Shu used his FP resonance, Shu would have won by a Burst Finish. If they are both at FP Shu > Valt If you want to stick to your guns I perfectly understand that, I’m kinda tired of debating so this will be my last comment. Nice debating you 👊

Free vs Phi really set the tone for the rest of the battles, easily my favorite battle in the entire series.

Dead Stinger is easily a top 5 special move ever. It has so much potential for choreography, & they keep cooking in the next season with Bullet

Still to this day Aiga vs Phi is still my favorite battle in all of burst.
It's such a great fight!
@@TheLocalWi hope u like some of the gt battles then

Something I like about this fight is that the only real stakes are the beys breaking.

But we as the audience know that during this fight there is ONLY one way to win, and it’s the way both sides like it.

You seriously though than Aiger would lose the fight in ep 50 ? Just before his final fight with Valt ?
@@ConstantinDOSSOU-vy1zo it makes sense. If aiger lost then Phi would had to 1v1 Valt which makes sense. It wasn't as obvious as the previous season finale

I don't think you've noticed, but another detail, is that after bursting Phoenix, In the scene where Phoenix parts are falling in the ring and Achilles is wobbling, is the exact same scene as when Valt Beat Red Eye in the finale of Evolution, Its an Insane Detail That I've seen few catch it

It's always THAT serious.

Great comparison😎🔥

It is really excellent fight ; it balance the supernatural elements and bey mechanics perfectly. The animation was gorgeous. Overall, Cho-Z/Turbo is a pretty good season: memorable fights, a great protagonist, and an iconic, fearsome villain. In my opinion, it is everything Shogun Steel/Zero-G should have been.
It's easily my favourite season of Beyblade so far, for all the reasons you mentioned!
The only thing that I can think of that even comes close to the later seasons imo
Is what is considered the best double battle ever (during season 4)
I forgot everyone's name since it's been a long time, but the animation went crazy with wierd visual effects and some guy dying in the background due to an explosion(for no relevant reason) And then if I remember correctly this was when Dragon unlocked it's special gimmick, the ability to turn it's eletric driver in the other direction to give dragon the motion of a counter clockwise beyblade. A lot of people hate on season 4 and I would consider it the 2nd biggest fall off, but man it had it's moments.
My second fight in Beyblade burst history.And TBH valt vs Shu in Evolution fight is the best fight in the series.And Didn't agree your opinion about evolution.Anyways Very good opinion expressing from your Perspective
Jeez the music you used to describe the fight was so good! May I know what it is?
Phi is the best burst antagonist imo
I still like Hearts more, but I see the vision!🤝🏾
W Take and I 100% agree objectively, but in my opinion Shu vs Phi was still peak, The Strongest Beybreaker in history vs The Strongest Beybreaker of today
Shu vs. Phi is another great pick🔥
Awesome vid as always man love your reviews
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it😁
Goated video. You found a way to say everything ive been thinking about this fight.
Btw, what's the background music on the back half of the video?
Dragon ball dokkan ost don’t remember which one though
Peak review as always 🗣️ but I disagree on this being the greatest fight in all of beyblade still one of the best though that’s for sure 🗣️🔥
What the best fight in your opinion?
Thanks! No worries. Everyone has their own favourites 🙏🏾
@@animeacore9055Kyoya VS Ryuga (my two favourites going at it was so peak 🙏)
@@TheLocalWfr and nb 🔥
I can't wait for you to talk about surge. I think it's the most underrated season in terms of writing
Visually yes, yes it is
yesss i agree...now time to finish burst sparking...what a good beyblade burst all the season are awesome ❤❤
Great video! Btw the animation in Beyblade X has improved and the season has 2 more episodes left so considering the improvement of the X Anime I think it’s a good idea if you were to continue it
Noted🫡 I've been hearing some interesting plotlines regarding Chrome, so I might give it another shot. Or I might just read the manga.
@@TheLocalW the manga is so fast paced and has barely develops their characters well. But the X anime managed to expand the story line of the manga and make it a whole lot more compelling. Trust me once you get to to episode 26 the story is gonna be peak. Bird still hasn’t won at all but the anime develops him a whole lot more and really emphasizes his growth. The manga just treats it like a gag
Aiger vs phi waa low-key kinda better than aiger vs vault
Dokkan ost goes crazy
Still no 1 - Wonder boy vs Red eye
Valid!
IS THAT BRAVELY SECOND MUSIC?
People fanboy over MFB and Plastic gen due to how crazy and fantasy based they were. But that meant that Burst had to try harder to cook, which they did, especially in the Dual Layers, God, Cho-Z, and Sparking.
Sad you didnt save the twitch stream
Yeah that's my bad😅
@@TheLocalW sad life
It's satisfying to see that phi won long ago but due his terms of burst considered as winning he lost
Honestly the only fight that could be considered better is Shu vs Valt

When I realized what this Phi scene meant... 🤯
THATS WHAT I BEEN SAYIN

Yk you cooked with the episode when a RUclips reviewer decides to give a full credit (as in, mentioning all the names of the staff and shit)
It just felt wrong to not credit the people involved.
I like this guy
How about lane vs valt, authur vs dante, rashad vs bel? Or pax vs bel? Or dante vs gwyn they go crazy asl too

I don’t think that phi is older then 18
Shu vs valt for me
Another W
YES🗣🔥
For me it's shu vs valt but aiger vs phi comes second
This Made Me Like Turbo Over Evolution
Same💪🏿
This would be my favorite battle in burst if it weren't for Hikaru and Hyuga vs Lain and Shu that battle is on another level
Oh, that's from Sparking, right? I'm not on that season yet, but this statement has me interested now.
I mean… if we are talking Animation wise then yeah, they are close, but writing wise is not even close, I must say Sparking/Surge was just really weak written compared to the 4 first
@@brunosanz7477 You are absolutely right about the weak part lol after Cho Z/Turbo the series starts to fall off Sparking and Dynamite Battle are known for not being great
@@brunosanz7477 And yes the final battle in sparking looks better but doesn't have the same impact as Aiger/Aiga vs Phi
@@TheLocalW Good luck on GT/Rise
BRO THRHOW THE MOON AT A KID OVER BEYBLADE💀💀💀
Nah you are wrong, it is only one the best fight in Beyblade Burst, Shu vs Phi was better.
Kyoya vs Ryuga and Brooklyn vs Kai still clears.
I don't agree. But I respect these takes🙏🏾
@@TheLocalW Tbh Shu vs Phi had better choreography than Aiga vs Phi.
Beyblade metal fights are outdatded bro

Ugh I’m right AGAIN😔
Burst > metal
valt vs shu is genuinely way better and it´s not close
So we are just going to skip episode 51? (One of the worst endings in Beyblade burst?) literally ask any Beyblade fan and they will agree that Cho-z should’ve ended at the Phi battle.
can safely agree aiger my goat mc
LETS PLAY A LITTLE GAME I MADE.
😂Good just Good❤
I was to crazy I didn’t like it like it’s like a fight tbh 😭
aiga is the second best Beyblade character (besides my pookie bear king)

Also sure has amazing battles in the middle of the series most of them are very unpredictable

How can one have such a good analysis of Characters and Dynamics and STILL CHOOSE TO FUCKING HOE MY BOY MASAMUNE with another FALSE "Fraud" Claim. Opposite opinions on My GOAT aside though.
Yeah Aiga Vs Phi was beautiful on all levels. To this day it's my favorite Final Fight In Burst and really Beyblade in General. I feel like every Beyblade series (besides Beyblade X because it's still to early at this point and no battle has honestly gotten to the level of stakes yet). Every Series Has had that definitive just magical showdown final fight. Kai Vs Brooklyn/Tyson Vs Brooklyn which ever you prefer Gingka Vs Damian/Gingka Vs Rago. and Finally Aiga Vs Phi. In my opinion Season 1-3 were the peak of burst because to be completely honest the quality really does kind of drop from S3 onwards. However season 7 I feel does it some justice and wraps up the series nicely.
The animation was visually stunning. Phi was THE MOST INTIMIDATING antagonist to date and that's not even up for debate. Man was always on straight DEMON TIME. Like that one part where he uses Diving Dead Stinger Press To try and shatter Achilles in Mid Air and everything just went silent as his face warps into a monstrous sadistic smile of pure evil had me SHOOK the first time I watched it still has me shook to this day.
The opposite ideologies was really what made this fight above and beyond for me. The greatest twist of irony is how in the end Phi's Hubris ended up making his defeat so many more times worse.
1. He would have easily won the battle against Aiga had it just been a regular match.
2. He assumed that Aiga could never have enough power to defeat him. That he could never be TAKEN from which in my opinion is a major part of phi's character. Is his obsession with getting and never giving.
3. In all honesty he was most likely stronger that Aiga in that final match. It was just that one round. That one round that made all the difference. It was all him and no one to blame but himself.
4 His ideology completely beaten out.
5. The fact that Aiga still wanted to battle him again even after all of that.
AND THEN THEY THROW ALL THAT AWAY BY BRINGING IN ANOTHER FUCKING PHOENIX USER LATER ON THE SERIES WHERE THEY ALL PRETEND THEY'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE HAHAHAHAHAHA. That's all I'll say though trust me this isn't much of a spoiler because you really won't be missing much at that point when you get there.
Last but not least I feel like you would also really like to read this deep dive on Phi's character that might even give some new insight. The first time I read it I was blown away about how much more there was beneath the layer that even a view of his charachter I hadn't thought of. RUclips hates link pasting so I'll just put the name down just copy and paste this. [Mystery Bursters!] - Phi's Resonance. The website it's on is the WBO so just let me know if you see it if not let me know and I'll just send it to you in Discord. I always love coming across just more people getting into the series and discussing things and just sharing a love and passion for my favorite show. Despite how SOME OF YOU keep throwing shade at my boy Masamune >:(
Anyway sorry for the long comment but hope it reaches you well man I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I agree on everything (Even the Masamune claims Lol), but Phi wasn’t stronger than Aiger at the End of the Series. He won the first two rounds because Aiger was conflicted and scared, and wasn’t drawing the FP from Achilles, the third round Aiger finally locks in and is able to KO Phoenix (When Phi had the Full Intention on destroying his bey in that battle). In the fourth round Phi wins by KO via using a new move that Aiger hadn’t seen.
And all of that was Pre True Resonance Aiger, as said per episode and description, Aiger awakens his true resonance and bond with Achilles in the final round, which gives him a massive power boost in Resonance. And he is able to block off Diving Dread Canon Crush (Phoenix’s move with the Most AP), with Turbo Shield, and also tanks Final Dread Impact just by using his Resonance.
Shu also outscales Phi, taking into account Phi literally won by Pure Luck in all of the rounds against him. First one by Phoenix bursting a millisecond after hitting the ground, second one by Phoenix hitting the ground and third one by barely being able to deactivate the Turboblades just when Turbo Spryzen Whip was going to take effect.
And Shu was the only character in the series to tank a Turbo Sword + Resonance from Aiger (And it wasn’t able to deactivate Spryzen’s Turboblades), while characters like Laban with Leopard got oneshotted, Phi while Resonating got two shotted and even Valt using Awakened Turbo Flash Launch got burst by it.
Aiger > Shu ~> Phi ~ Valt
@@brunosanz7477 I've gotta disagree with that. Remember Phi's goal during his battle with Free and Shu were too break their spirits and torment Valt. By the end of the series yeah Aiga is the strongest for sure. I was talking about in the episode itself because Phi literally would've had 3 points against Aiga. In the battle against both Shu and Free it's shown that Phi was quite literally toying with both of them. In his battle with Free he could've instantly Bursted Free's Fafnir with Dead Cannon as was stated. In his battle with Shu his goal was to once again corrupt Shu. He never actually went all out against Free or Shu like he did with Aiga and it shows. Also you can't really use what happened in previous episodes when Aiga would literally be stronger as the episodes went on. So Aiga not being able to burst Shu in a previous episode doesn't mean that end of series Aiga wouldn't be able to do it because Episode 51 Aiga would be stronger than anyone in the verse and his previous selves. This would also extend to Valt for being able to push Aiga the final version of Aiga that far as well. So Shu quite literally CAN'T be stronger then Phi and Valt by end of series due to lack of feats by that time. Plus losing to Phi.
My list goes like this.
1. Aiga
2. Valt
3. Phi
4. Shu
5. Free
@@theblitzblader3967 I agree that Phi was much more powerful than Free, and even if it was stated Phi could have bursted Fafnir that was a Fafnir that wasn’t using any moves and when Free didn’t go all out, since in the second round not only wasn’t Free using his Full Power beyond his body’s limits like the last round, but the Absorb Break he used had already gone away when it got hit by Dread Canon. In the last round it’s quite literally seen that Free + Beyond his limits + FP Resonance + Absorb Break ~ Phi + FP Resonance + Dread Canon since they block each other off at the end of the match.
I still agree that he wasn’t going all out against Free, and that in part is because he didn’t know all the moves his bey could pull off.
Still disagree with Shu tho. Phi is quite literally seen trying to break Spryzen SINCE round ONE, because Spryzen is hitting Phoenix with its Turbo Blades and Phi is just taking it while smiling, which means he had the Full intention of deactivating the T.B. and win in one round. Phi did toy with Free, but not with Shu. It’s shown by Phi’s expressions that he gets thrown off by Shu many times while none by Free.
In match two they even settle to end everything in that match, meaning Phi was still wanting to Break Shu’s bey in the previous rounds, not just in the final one.
The thing is that Phi never got a chance to use his arsenal because of being outsmarted by Shu many times, which is part of the battle.
New moves or not Shu would have won had he known the Turbo Blades could be deactivated, Phi quite literally won by Pure Luck.
Power wise Phi has better AP and Hax, but Shu makes up for that with B Iq and Versatility
+Phi only used Dread Gravity + Dread Canon on Shu, he never used that on Aiger
You can actually scale Shu to Ep 51 Aiger, Ep 51 Valt and Ep 50 Phi, since in Ep 48 Aiger after the last match with Shu and co. Aiger battles the rest of the Beyclub, battles that were stated to not make Achilles stronger.
In Episode 49 Aiger only battles Taiga, which as stated by Taiga himself, battling his son wouldn’t make him stronger.
And at the End of Ep 50, Aiger is never seen training, which means it directly scales to his Ep 51 version.
End of Ep 48 Aiger ~ Ep 51 Aiger
The only thing he got out of Phi’s battle is his true resonance.
And the only thing to upscale Valt is just that he was battling a True Resonance Aiger.
In terms of AP Ep 48 Aiger (Which as I explained directly scales to Ep 51 Aiger) with Turbo Sword Pre True Resonace only KO Shu using Turbo Counterbreak and his Pre FP Resonance (Seen as Shu didn’t have his eyes glowing red as a means that he is going all out like Free).
In Ep 51 in the last clash Aiger calls out Turbo Breaker but the animation shows Turbo Sword, so you can scale it both ways:
It should be mentioned that Turbo Sword massively outscales Turbo Breaker AP wise
Ep 51 Aiger with Turbo Breaker + True Resonance BURSTS Valt with Awakened Flash Launch + FP Resonance (This completely downscales Valt below Shu, since even if you were to say Aiger didn’t have his True Resonance, in this case Aiger only used Turbo Breaker which is ~ Aiger Pre Awakening ~ Phi FP ~ Valt FP
@@brunosanz7477 While I will agree that 1. Shu definitely gave him a tougher time than Free did 2. They were for sure close in power. I still can't really see how Shu would be at all stronger than Phi or Valt by end of series. Aiga would quite literally have to be stronger than Shu going into his battle with Phi. Phi Vs Shu= Phi won. Shu Vs Aiga= Aiga Won.
Think about it like this. Aiga had faced off against Shu for the training. In it Aiga was able to win against Shu but not Burst Spriggan. This would put Aiga still over the level of Shu but not quite on the level of Phi. In the start of the battle against Phi what do we initially see. Phi absolutely taking control of the fight in 3 rounds out of 5. Which makes sense because while Aiga would be stronger then Shu he still didn't have a feat that put him on the level of Phi. As Phi was able to not only win against Shu but BREAK Spriggan as well. Not to mention Phi would also be slightly stronger going into his fight against Aiga then he was against Shu. Phi while surprised at times and caught off guard by Shu's power never felt threatened by it.
Furthermore, once Phi had decided he was done toying with Aiga and actually went to try and break Achilles he couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried. He couldn't break OR burst Achilles mind you. This wouldn't be possible if Aiga going into his battle with Phi would be weaker than Shu as he had already shown he was stronger by proxy of actually facing off and winning against Shu. Also a Blader's power doesn't stay static during a match not their full power nor their base power. As we literally see Aiga get stronger during the matches and even eventually unlock his TR(True Resonance)
Aiga didn't need TR to beat Shu at Full Power. He couldn't Burst Shu like Phi did but he still won. Aiga would quite literally HAVE to be stronger then Shu going into his fight to stand even a lick of a chance to beat Phi. Aiga struggling against an opponent Phi only took seriously at the very end is a testament to how he started out the battle weaker than Phi.
Next is how there's no way Phi could be stronger than Valt. Phi in the battle was not only trying to Break Achilles but by proxy Burst it as well. Valt being able to ACTUALLY burst Aiga's Achilles when even Phi couldn't while Aiga was still WEAKER then him (I'm referring to before the final round between the 2) literally puts Valt above Phi. Regardless of whatever special move was used Aiga in both his fights Against Phi and Valt was pushed to his ABSOLUTE LIMIT.
Aiga would literally have to be stronger going into his final fight against Valt than he was with when he faced Shu and when he faced Phi. It'd make no sense for Aiga to struggle against an opponent who you think would be weaker than FP Shu when he didn't need TR to actually beat Shu. Any Aiga past his fight with Phi would for sure be able to Burst Shu from that Ep.
I gotta say though i'm really happy to be able to discuss in depth something like this with someone and not just thinking it all in my head haha.
@@theblitzblader3967 Shu can be scaled above Valt and Phi
But let’s address things
Phi only took control of the first two rounds against Aiga because he was scared making him not draw his FP Pre TR. Phi taking control of two rounds against a Nerfed Aiga is kinda fodder. That’s like saying Lane in B.B. Sparking Manga is massively stronger than Hikaru when he only won against a Scared wore Down version of him.
On FP conditions for both, the third round went to Aiga while the fourth went to Phi. Making them ~
Phi even if not threatened by Shu’s power literally won by luck. And he didn’t have control of the battle since he was mostly relying on pure luck the whole time, not in his beys capabilities or B Iq like he did against Free. He was SOLELY relying on Shu not knowing that the Turbo Blades could be deactivated. If Shu had known that, his whole strategy of hitting Phoenix with Spryzens turboblades to make it close to burst but not draw out the armor would be radically changed to what Shu told Aiga, to go Defensive until he could go Offensive.
And even with that strategy, as I said, Phi won by pure luck. During the two first rounds Shu completely outsmarted and very easily held his own against Phi.
Also, when Aiga won against Shu in Ep 48, not only did he BARELY Win by KO, but Shu wasn’t using his FP.
His FP Resonance is when he has the animation in which his eyes turn red and draws out his FP. He never had that in training. Plus, in the final clash, he used Turbocounterbreak, instead of Turbo Spryzen Whip, this last one implied as being Shu’s strongest move.
That’s why I would put Shu ~> Pre TR Aiger
And the thing is that when Phi tries to fully go and break Achilles, Aiger ALWAYS USED a special move, unlike Valt who just bursted a Resonating Achilles via speedblitz (Which is why I said that he could burst Phoenix if Phi doesn’t have time to react)
The only time in which Aiger doesn’t use a special move in the final round Is when Phoenix uses Double Dread Canon and sends Achilles Flying.
Shu being ~> to Pre TR Aiga doesn’t mean that Aiger can’t tank Phi’s moves, since he constantly showed way more Durab than Spryzen via Special Moves (E.g. Turbo Defense/Shield). The thing is that Spryzen has better AP, Shu is a way better strategist with more experience and versatility.
And as I said Shu was stronger than Phi. So it does make sense.
Aiger’s Resonance DOES get stronger with each match. But the Base power of the bey does stay static or just variates by a minimum. If Aiger gets strong with each round, then he should have got stronger against the Bey Club or Taiga but is stated multiple times that WON’T make Aiga stronger.
Aiga only started the battle weaker than Phi because of being scared/nerfed. It’s is showed Pre TR both at FP they are equal. And Phi doesn’t only take Shu seriously in the final round. Before their first round Phi consistently praises Shu’s power, but thinks he is stronger than him. Before the second round Phi quite literally states that Shu’s destruction value has gone up (And the only other blader he was planning on destroying was Valt, meaning that even Phi just by seeing Shu’s power in the first Round saw him as an equal to Valt)
As I said the difference between Aiger vs Phi and Valt vs Aiger is that against Phi Aiga kept SPAMMING Strong Special moves to counter Phoenix’s special moves, compared to Valt that ONLY BURSTED AIGA because of pulling his awakening, and speedblitzing with T. Flash Launch before Aiga could use any move. The special moves used are Really Important
Aiga actually didn’t struggle against Valt for most of the rounds. He just used moves that didn’t have the AP to surpass Valt’s, but rather equal him. It’s consistently shown how Valt just has the upper hand on Aiga when 1. He doesn’t use a Special Move 2. Speedblitzes him. In all the Special Move Clashes Aiga constantly wins. Just imagine if he had used Turbo Sword during the second round in their clash. Valt would have been COOKED. That’s just the writers making the fight interesting.
The BEST FEAT from Valt is getting bursted by a TR Turbo Achilles that used Turbo Breaker (Valt was at his strongest FP Resonance + Awakened Flash Launch)
The BEST FEAT from Shu is getting KO BARELY by a Pre TR Turbo Achilles that Used Turbo Sword (Shu WASN’T at his strongest, he used Turbo Counterbreak, consistently implied as being weaker to T. Spryzen Whip, and didn’t have his animation of FP Resonance)
EVEN if we were to go by your logic were TR Aiger >>>> Pre TR Aiger to massively highball Valt, Shu still outscales by a mile Ap and Dura wise.
Shu never went all out against Aiga. That’s a big misconception. He never used his FP Resonance nor his strongest move (T. S. Whip)
Had Shu used T. S Whip instead of T. Counterbreak, both of them would get KO with Aiger having a high chance of bursting. Had Shu used his FP resonance, Shu would have won by a Burst Finish.
If they are both at FP Shu > Valt
If you want to stick to your guns I perfectly understand that, I’m kinda tired of debating so this will be my last comment.
Nice debating you 👊
