Beyblade V-Force Broke All The Rules | REVIEW

[@guillermosierracuellar9812]

Somehow the cyborg blader is one of the most normal things that happened in beyblade

[@Sonicfalcon16]

Yeah, somehow I was predicting something more extreme like he split the bit beast spirit in two because of how strong it was so half was in the blade and half was in his son which was the reason why he was that good. So he would scream at the frequency to unleash stronger power

[@mastergreeen1385]

you mean Android, right?

[@metaltornado3457]

11:50 I just now realized that the main character's Bit Beasts are references to the Four Guardians of the cardinal directions from Chinese mythology. Dragoon is the Azure Dragon of the East, Driger is the White Tiger of the West, Dranzer is the Vermillion Bird of the South and Draciel is the Black Tortoise of the North.

[@Majin_Lee]

2:17 "it's the skullgreymon moment for beyblade." That actually made me laugh irl.

[@necrogon22]

Wanna take a moment to highlight another one of Max's INSANE feats. Cyber Draciel was so strong, it gave Tyson actual nightmares, which drove him to start thinking they HAD to cheat to beat it. Max defeated C-Draciel, not once, not twice, but basically THREE times in a row. He did "lose" the third time, but it was 100% plot bs, because Draciel was litteraly slamming C-Draciel's head in the wall but for some reason Cyber Draciel won. I will say it again, Max is a monster.

[@Sonicfalcon16]

Yeah Max in v force can be a serial killer energy when he's pushed to his limits. He has ferocious moments

[@JapanFreak2595]

Think it was cuz the scientists cheated last second or didn't honor the terms and stole Draciel anyway cuz they're assholes. Likely a combination of the two.

[@mastergreeen1385]

yep, definitely one of Max's greatest feats, right alongside him tanking B.Dranzer

[@kwameoliver2455]

I'm not even going to lie the episodes with Max and Kai two of my favorite episodes of this season. Soundtrack goes so hard.

[@arunsingla3452]

Fun fact : doctor b dies in Japanese dub, having gotten electrocuted when machines malfunction when the caves collapsed in episode 27

[@Sonicfalcon16]

Yeah it felt like he was gonna die

[@RedDragonForce2]

In Episode 1 of the entire Show, Dragoon was sealed inside a sword. My theory is that Dragoon was wielded by a swordsman, either during or after the battle, and Dragoon became a Guardian for Tyson’s family.

SPOILERS FOR REST OF THE V FORCE 5:54 Literally the funniest foreshadowing ever omg

[@TheBeef89]

[@thedigiknow]

Oops you’re right! Shows where my head is at lol 🍗

[@tatsukinomiya]

"There's no Bit Beast inside of his blade and now the FBI are here to arrest him" Bro WHAT?!?!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@zerogee768]

It's funny that modding Tysons blade was apparently illegal by BBA standards, yet the battle wasn't BBA enforced, nor was it regulation legal anyway. Especially since, one season later, they create their own "Hard Metal" beyblades that would probably not be BEGA legal either. I'm aware that they couldn't acquire the parts since that'd involve them joining BEGA, but you'd think they'd keep the specifications BBA legal in order to remain consistent with their morals and principles. Ray later states that, Tyson relied on himself and not his beyblade, but we all know that is a great load of horse sh&t, since virtually all their victories relied on their blades getting upgraded 😅

[@TheJaredPunch]

The Cyber Bit Beast are pretty much the Bladebreakers’ Bit Beast, but evil. It reminds me of the Psycho Rangers. I have been expressing interest in Power Rangers and Super Sentai, so…. Edit: then again, The Saint Shields also serves as that too in a way.

[@ivaniz3157]

Ray and Max getting done dirty in those battles feels so bad man, Max's moreso because he almost won and would've gotten the win! But there is the plus of giving us the song, Underdog. Personal favorite and I will listen to it now and then. And just because, fun fact: like in the anime, Cyber Dragoon has the ability to jump. Not by the same method as Trigle, if I remember correctly. (I miss when Beyblade got crazy with the designs, they were unironically cool sometimes.)

[@mysryuza]

I love that V-Force had the artstyle that may have been the major influence to Metal Fight Beyblade’s artstyle in the anime. Took me a while to notice the similarities and it made so much sense now. It made me appreciate V-Force more and I gotta get back to watching V-Force sometime!

[@ashfield4313]

With the toyline Beyblade X taking off in Asia & N. America, I found myself looking back at Beyblade V Force & OG Beyblade - then you release this? Nice.

[@DBZMacky]

2:16 I always thought the modded Dragoon looked so sick. I get why they never released it officially as a toy though, and it's not just because it's the SkullGreymon Dragoon, but also because it would probably explode as soon as it hit something (though I guess that's not a problem anymore now that Beyblade Burst exists hmmmm)

[@ReliousFlareStar]

I cant believe that until today I didnt realize that the main team's bit beasts are just the Chinese cardinal guardians, lol. Same guys the digimon sovereigns are based on

[@mystery8820]

And in the Japanese dub, the Bit Beasts are are called by their original names Seiryu, Suzaku, Genbu, and Byakko.

[@brockh624]

My Favorite part of Tyson Vs Kane is when Dragoon is being beaten his eyes go white and tyson decides he wants to give up to not lose him then the life comes back into his eyes and he looks at Tyson in utter disbelief hearing his partner who always faces his battles head on full of passion just give up but he decides to keep fighting anyways inspiring tyson to do the same

[@Chaoskingdonovan]

3:26 just wanted to say max was lowkey really solid this arc to the point that his opponent had to full restore spam Also I feel like ray got side lined a lot this season that might just be me do

[@shamikagaur8775]

Oh the upcoming episodes are THRILLING! If there’s another thing I like about v force is that carelessness can make you lose your bit beasts (ray in this case) and the fact the 4 of them HAVE flaws and ARE capable of making several mistakes and working on them. They are exceptional but still human..that’s what I love about this season the most. It makes everyone’s flaws visible enough to the point where they improve it.

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

A lot of characters in this show debut by the river, though. Isn't that the exact spot where Tyson met Kai, and Carlos got slapped around for losing? Rivers are what literature refers to as "liminal" spots, which are barriers, or transitions, between two worlds, so they are and always have been important meeting places, not only in literature, but in history. It's why the first civilizations were all built near rivers: Tigris and Euphrates, Ganga, Mississippi, Nile, so forth.

[@thedigiknow]

“A lot of the characters in this show debut by the river, though” yah that’s what I was getting at. Kai, Max, Kane, Zeo

[@mastergreeen1385]

I get what you mean regarding its significance to literature, but I'm pretty sure that most of the big and successful early age civilizations were built near rivers simply because the land there is is fertile, resulting in plentiful agriculture

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

@@mastergreeen1385 , yep: Tigris and Euphrates, the Nile, the Ganga, the Mississippi, the Thames, even. Lots.

[@98sparkz]

I'm happy you are covering V-Force, it was my all time favorite Beyblade series over everything because it was so fun for me and I loved the twist and turns the season/series had overall. Its really great especially when you reach the Team Saint Shields vs Team Blade Breakers, and Zeo stuff.

[@Tele3champion]

I love that you are going through one of my favorite childhood tv-shows but I wish there was more review in your Review video instead of just recapping what happens

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for the feedback. It’s kind of how I’ve always been doing this (whether it was Beyblade or Digimon - going through the story and pausing to give commentary /review where applicable). I have to acknowledge that the majority of viewers do not remember the 20+ year old series, so I can’t really praise the Wyatt stuff (for example) without going over it

[@soysaucenation]

I'm curious on your thoughts on the whole 'shared pain' between blader and bit-beast considering Season 1 was praised for not being violent and how later seasons go full on Dragon Ball with the fights

[@BAMOORE94]

Thank you!!! I was so nervous we would’ve get this!

[@jrgenvellesen7800]

V-Force is definitely a weaker season overall, but it does get better. Will be interesting to see your thoughts on the final batch of episodes!

[@mosescosme8629]

bey imitating blade was a brilliant line

[@justinrodriguez5957]

Me just casually listening this recap. Good lord this series was insane. Then again, that was kind of par for the course. I recently rewatched the first two episodes of OG Yu-gi-oh and I just couldn't stop laughing at the insanity.

[@Rikka_V1]

Back in plastic gen there were no rules. In metal fight the bey spirit mattered more than the bey's actual structure (with a few exceptions) so cheating was not needed.

[@jdgx95]

the idea that there are "illegal parts" and the tyson dragoon thing always kinda irked me in season 1 that bully had legit razor blades on his weight disk and nobody in official tournaments cared enough to DQ him plus Kenney was always coming up with stuff like launchers and bey parts/upgrades so i was always under the impression "if it works its legal"

[@Blizzardfire]

The Bladebreaker's Bit-Beasts were the OG Signer Dragons

[@AliceHobbes]

for me Rei losing his Bit Beast was over done same with Max. I would have like it if Tyson finally lost his. That would have brought back this idea that Tyson does depend on Dragoon a lot and needs to get better with out Dragoon. Or something where it can be shown they can still grow. If Tyson can lose then Max, Rei, and even Kai will all go train and grow as Bladers while Tyson have his own training. I don't know it just feel like everyone but Tyson can lose their bit beast.

[@praisethesunnyd6933]

I feel like the closest to that was the movie but yeah he's kinda the only one that doesn't go through that.

[@AliceHobbes]

@praisethesunnyd6933 Yeah, I forgot about the movie, and that does say how much the movie impacted the story

[@praisethesunnyd6933]

@AliceHobbes it is sorta of an alternative meet with Daichi, didn't dislike it and kinda enjoyed it more than V force tho I did go through the OG trilogy plus the movie in Japanese. By the end I still kinda liked the 1st season best.

[@AliceHobbes]

@@praisethesunnyd6933 same I didn't like the art change between the seasons. Season one felt more grounded if that is possible for a series about tops

[@praisethesunnyd6933]

@@AliceHobbes It definitely was more grounded ironically, even if that Turtle beyblade in the American arc will always bewilder me. Tho I didn't dislike the art style change in the later seasons but it did take getting used to 3d tops which I'd imagine the later series handles better

[@dramonmaster222]

Thanks for the Beyblade reviews Digiknow.

[@necrogon22]

You can tell the story was improvised because the saint-shields were clearly depicted as evil at the beginning but then they have a righteous demeanor to seal away the bit beast to protect them from the world. Also why didn't the saint-shield just try to steal them from the very beginning?

[@NiiRubra]

2:22 I knew someone who didn't have a modded beyblade, but instead his beyblade had been _made_ by his father, who worked with metal in some way, and he made him what was essentially a sharp metal brick shaped into a beyblade. That thing looked like something that could conceivably be used as a murder weapon lol. Watch out for the frickin blacksmith's son or whatever and his razorbrick top. 7:17 It's a nice moral overall, I just feel like season 1 had more going on, like it said a bunch of things, whereas this arc kinda just says the one thing. 8:43 Lmao! "FBI! OPEN UP! WE KNOW YOU HAVE ILLEGAL TOPS."

[@shinkaiatsuya950]

I do find it a bit odd that Tyson would be open to cheat. To me he is competitive but knows the line. Felt a bit out of character. But suppose a spur of the moment. Saint shields definitely felt added more lore to the series.

[@shamikagaur8775]

I mean he is a confused anxious teenager who’s growing up, who’s high in demand by people who can literally kill him and steal a piece of him (dragoon)he cant really be the same chirpy guy from s1 because of the ordeals around him.. so he made plenty of mistakes this season but he learns from them all.

[@challengerjakku1943]

Tbf even in season 1 he had his moments, like extending the rip cord by sticking 2 together. They're just not as noticeable because everyone else around him are taking it further.

[@brianloco9987]

Bro the coincidence that I finished vforce yesterday night then when I wake up I see this

[@AnonymousC2218]

5:42 😆 "Gideon & Doctor B Die Here LOL" 💀 LMFAO 🤣

[@0axis771]

I think it comes to the point where you start to sort of recognize that while series 1 was just making Beyblade as a total sports thing that's all the hype, series 2 was trying to get its feet wet with actual lore and plot that was only lightly touched on back in series 1. It's enjoyable, but for something like Beyblade, it doesn't work nearly as well because the result ends up with forgetting the actual point of what made the original anime so great, which is about the actual spinning toy tops.

[@Popstalgia]

Love these reviews, but Raising Canes was definitely not a thing until the 2010s. Well after v force.

[@SkilledYetTalentless]

A take no one else is like to make: V-Force really filled out the list of potential first crushes for guys. OG Beyblade's got Mariah, Judy and Emily, then G-Revolution's got Julia, but in V-Force you get Hilary, Mariam, Salima, Queen, and frickin' Dr. K. Huge contribution, speaking as a guy who crushed on these characters and still thinks they killed it with their designs.

[@TheHairyHobbe69]

I liked v force but the power reduction of tyson and the blade breakers was annoying, what I hated was hilary because she sucked the fun and life out of everything, It would of been better to have the blade breakers beat saint shields barely and realise that they needed to do back into training. I don't think that other than the tyson mod the blade breakers didn't cheat, but had to upgrade there beyblades to not be cheated by other players and so that their bit beast could have less of a restraint when battling. Remember in the first season when tyson and kai were chopping down giant oak trees with thier beyblades and then in season 2 were struggling against soda cans?, seems silly doesn't it? there should of been a beyblade season 4 or a remake based on the manga.

[@LucarioShirona]

V-Force definitely is the weakest of the three seasons, does have it good moments, but you can tell this season wasn't carrying the plot as it should have in comparison to season 1. It's at least a nice surprise that possibly either Takara, the anime studio or both took noticed of the quality drop in story telling since they turned it around and make an amazing season that is G-Revolution.

[@mystery8820]

G Revolution was awesome, it had the Bladebreakers compete against each other bu joining teams that take them back to their roots. We know the roots of Max and Rei's home teams but seeing Kai join Blitzkrieg Boyz/Neo Borg showed his cold roots as a soldier who trained with Boris never left him, and he DOMINATED most of the championships.
