The GENIUS Beyblade Protagonist - Kamen X

[@Chilled_Blue]

Yeah, real quick, Multi didn't create Dran Sword so my bad on that mistake lol. Edit: I wanna quickly say, I was originally gonna say 13 protagonists that included both Bird and Multi. To me, I consider Team Persona as protagonists but I got comments on my last beyblade videos and also while looking up the protagonist of X and what people thought, I came to the conclusion that between Team Persona, Ekusu is the main one that the story mostly revolves around and he drives the story forward more than Multi and Bird. Just because a certain character gets more development doesn't mean they're the protagonist. So ultimately, in the end, that's why I chose to exclude both Bird and Multi and just Ekusu as the main protagonist. Seeing comments on this video and thinking about it more, to me, I consider Team Persona as protagonists. Edit 2: Look, when I looked up the name, it was written as Ekusu so I just pronounced it the way I saw it 🤣

DUDE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT WHICH ONE OF THE PROTAGONISTS I WOULD CONSIDER MOST TALENTED LAST NIGHT IN MY BEDROOM WHILE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT BEYBLADE STUFF. So I haven't watched all the video yet as not to be influenced in my explanation. Of course as soon as I finish typing this comment i'll proceed too watch the rest of it. I of course went with Ekusu too because in a way I think how I phrased it last night in my head. He's already reached a sort of Beyblade Nirvana or Nirvana for Beyblade. It's really something we haven't seen with any other protagonist. It's really interesting the differences between Tyson, Gingka, Valt and the other Burst protagonists. However I feel Ekusu is by far the most unique for me. The fact that he always wins isn't the part which should be paid attention too. It's the fact that no matter what he'll have FUN. Having fun in a battle IS winning for Ekusu. Everything else is secondary. Compared to other protagonists I'd say the difference between them and Ekusu is he doesn't have desires IN battle he has desires FOR battle itself. Ekusu is quite literally the X variable as was stated in the show haha. It's not that he hasn't trained it's not that he's perfect. He just is himself. Ekusu is literally the embodiment of Beyblade itself. It's meant to be A Game so he treats it like that. A battle of wits and strength. In a game you wanna complete the objective but you also buy the game in the first place to play with it to have fun. It's just that simple because at the end of the day you can't divide fun down any further. Ekusu knows this which is why everything he does is just for the sake of fun. He has both natural talent and has put in hard work to improve himself. No matter who you are he'll battle you. Beginner or Pro. It's not the fact that he wins it's the fact that he doesn't play to win or not to win he just plays and that's what makes Ekusu/Kamen X UNDEFEATABLE.

HE’s back with another banger 🎉

[@WinterBlizzard689]

I actually started watching this show a while ago. I think it’s solid. Multi is the best character imo. And I appreciate the new insight on Blader X. I always saw him as similar to Nemona: he’s always so keen to battle and can be seen as a bit forward. But he’s also starting from square one like Nemona to battle someone that they deem would give them a good fight. It’s a really interesting perspective for a protagonist because usually we see them as beginners when they decide they wanna climb the top. But here it’s the opposite: it’s X’s choice to go back to the beginning and I find that interesting. My only issue is the fact he prevents progress for the actual protagonist Robin Kazami. Since the show continues to have Multi and X do all the heavy lifting and don’t want to undermine them, Robin keeps on getting the short end of the stick which is really annoying. He’s the main character and works the hardest of the 3! He deserves to be rewarded for the fruits of his labour and the show just refuses to give that to him!

[@Chilled_Blue]

I kinda agree. I feel like Bird should've been the protagonist. He's gotten more insight and development than Ekusu. There were moments where he should've won but because of the writers, he just doesn't. I really hope that changes in the next season.

[@WinterBlizzard689]

@@Chilled_Blue Yeah I hope so too. I’m at Episode 25 now and Robin has been given nothing. It’s tragic really. And not even Multi being an actually great female blader fixes my issues with the show. So besides Ekusu, who’s your fav character?

[@Chilled_Blue]

@@WinterBlizzard689 between Bird and Multi. She in my opinion is the best female blader we have seen and Bird is amazing cause he's the most relatable and honeslty is the heart of the team.

[@WinterBlizzard689]

@@Chilled_Blue That is valid. What Bird lacks in the traditional progress that a protagonist should have, he does make up for in having a good heart and solid dynamics. Plus, some of the comedy with him is decent. I just prefer there to be SOME wins on top of SOME losses so it feels like I’m not wasting too much time with Robin. And yes, Multi is the best female blader across every single series. She got a lot more screen time than Pri and Ilya from Burst who got introduced very late, she’s a lot more versatile than Pri and is honestly the most emotionally mature member of Team Persona. The only time I saw her be immature was when she lost to Jaxon/Ekusu in Episode 3.

It makes sense if they're all protagonist's beyblades, I just thought they were the most popular beyblades from each generation.

Personally speaking, Bird is the true protagonist of the series, we start the series off with bird, we are watching in his perspective, a presepective that idolizes Eksu, that looks up to him, that's why we see eksu getting the main character attention, but in birds eyes X is the main character, but spoiler Alert it all was bird, in chapter 15 we end in Bird being the one to close of the first Arc, not Ex, Bird was the last Battle, bird was the one with the most character development, ex never got a single character development, we only seen x grow in power but he has always stayed the same as a character x never learned to battle purely for fun, or to not hyper fixate on winning, it was all Bird, bird was the one to learn to not hyper fixate on winning, he was the one to learn to have fun and relax, he was the one who learnt from X and tried ti imitate him

Sorry, I'm gonna have to chimp in and rant a bit, since I think TT is misleading everyone, including you, about Ekusu being the protagonist, especially with the upcoming anniversary set already the biggest misleading within the Bird VS Ekusu protagonist debate, and completely ignored Multi. As for my rant, Team Persona is the protagonist of X, not Ekusu alone, and neither is Bird, no but, no deuteragonist, no tritagonist, only team, the whole point of X is team focus, if Team Persona isn't the main focus, there would be no reason for the writers to do the whole team format hassle to make Bird look bad, and Ekusu could go solo like Multi at the start of the show, even outside of the battle format, the writers put a lot of care for both Bird and Multi more than X by giving them a lot more screen time and story for their development because they know Ekusu already got the gimmick that he's an unbeatable genius, everyone obsessed over him, and there no story for him as he remains a static character because they know Ekusu would take all the attention at this point if he get all the part of the story, and it was intentional, X at the end of the day is a story of a team climbing the top of the tower not a person climbing it alone.

[@Chilled_Blue]

I mean, if Team Persona is the protagonist of Beyblade X then the title and me calling Ekusu the protagonist isn't wrong. Now look, originally I written the script to say 13 protagonists which include Bird and Multi because I considered them protagonists. Still kinda do. But I decided to change it because people mentioned in my last beyblade videos that Bird isn't a protagonist or vise versa and so when I looked up online, most pointed towards Ekusu being the main character while I think the anime and manga contradict that. Regardless, more -and-so, Ekusu is the one who mainly drives the story forward and is mostly the main reason why the story of Beyblade X even began so that's why I changed up the script and excluded Multi and Bird.

[@godzila70]

Saying ekusu is the protagonist of of beyblade X is like saying Godzilla is the protagonist of his movies. To me it's it's more like the main plot happens around him and revolves around him. Despite what the wiki says about Bird being a deuteragonist, I think he is the main character.

[@Chilled_Blue]

"... the main plot happens around him and revolves around him." You just described someone who is a protagonist. Ekusu is the main reason why the story of Beyblade X begins and moves forward. If Bird is a deuteragonist then he is A main character but not THE main character. I do think Bird should've been the main character but honestly, I feel like all three of them should've been protagonists, something like Hikaru and Hyuga.

[@godzila70]

@@Chilled_Blue I guess its perspective. I would consider him a main character definitely but not the protagonist. I would argue x is the deuteragonist at most. Again like godzilla or Gatsby. The plot revolves around him but he doesn't really do anything that drives the plot forward. X is a phenomenon that drives the other characters to grow. Now, a good character writer wouldn't make characters that one dimensional and x certainly isn't one dimensional. But i really havent seen him grow as a character yet as he hasn't needed to grow yet. He has had no obstical or dilemma he couldn't immeadiately overcome. I believe the real reason for this is to be something that the real protagonist (who i believe is bird) can compare himself to. Assuming im right (im not so conceited to expect you to agree with me :) ) I still really love that they make bird and x feel like they stand equally as characters in the show. I feel like they can do a bit better job making multi feel like she has equal standing with the boys but i do believe that is what they are trying to do with her character. But yeah, if we consider that most shonen protags follow the heroes journey structure, then bird is clearly (to me) written to be the traditional protag over x. anyway, i think im likeing beyblade x over og beyblade or metal series in terms of writing so far (only watched a little burst)

His ideologies are never actually challenged and his character just feels incredibly one-note and stagnant. But hey, that’s just my dumb opinion

The strongest bey is also kinda subjective. His ideologies are tested but it's just Ekusu doesn't waver. I think it's actually the best and perfect ideology to have for a game of Beyblade and it is kinda hard to challenge that type of thinking but that's just me. Unless there's like a deadly or severe situation where his ideology can be tested like what the Metal Saga has but Beyblade X doesn't really seem to be going in that direction.

[@zeroxenoverse9251]

If I remember correctly the manga has a chapter about X past. I think Zankye covered it. Edit:OK never mind, the video covered it. He does train though.

[@trougas]

@@Chilled_Blue The term strongest here I think comprised of several different components. Sure Dransword is strong, but without Ekusu behind it, it won't be as strong. Clear example here is with the balance users, Bird and Shiguru. Shiguru is said to be very weak and clumsy, when handling anything other than balance type. She used Bird's Hellscythe againts Bird's Hells hammer and shows that she is overall stronger than Bird when it comes to balance type at that time. Give Shiguru, a Top player, ultimate balance user, a Dransword, and she will lose. Plus a fully exposed Dransword is proof of Ekusu's hard work, he doesn't need the extra grams from metal coat to win lol.

[@Chilled_Blue]

@@trougas I never said he did, but a good bey is a contributor to a bladers strength.

[@Thebloxfruitsguy11]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that every youtuber calls beys and bladers by the wrong name, even with the anime. For example, the guy who all youtubers call bird, is named Robin, and the person who this video is about is either called Blader X or Jaxon Cross. At least in the anime he is.

[@Chilled_Blue]

@@Thebloxfruitsguy11 in the dub version it is Robin, Blader X, and Jaxon Cross but Bird, Ekusu Kurosu, or Kamen X are the original Japanese names that I use.

[@Thebloxfruitsguy11]

@Chilled_Blue Oh. That makes sense. I'm only watching the dub version, so it's Robin, Blader X and all the other names in that.

[@littenflame85]

I think multi is the best one Kamen X = always wins bc of plot Bird = always loses because of plot Multi = Perfectly balanced

[@lionel7360]

Still can't believe they named the main character X Cross 😭, never seen such creative bankruptcy.

So where does Kamen x place in terms of best beyblade protagonist? P.s. I know you said valt is your favorite and Aiger is your 2nd favorite so i'm wondering.

Bird terrible win streak cuz him to demote from title of mc . Btw I stop at like episode 15 cuz I can’t find English dub

[@MrMeowstic7]

You probably could've called him by his dub name, which is Jaxon cross. Also, I think his japanese name is technically pronounced as "X Cross"

[@Chilled_Blue]

I could've but I wanted to use the original Japanese name. When you say Ekusu pretty fast, it does sound like X but I didn't plus for me it kinda felt and sounded weird when I would say "X" for his name.

[@Dajacb-b7o]

He is easily the strongest in season 1, i thought chrome was stronger💀

[@Shadowcrawlerrr]

[@FirestoneAnimation]

"Eh-koo-soo" brother *please* Also 10:05 I'd be scared like those cheaters too, even when I'm against these types of battles. (Imo Bird should've been allowed to cook these clowns to show development, but I'm happy with seeing a beyblade protagonist absolutely lose it like this

[@Chilled_Blue]

@@FirestoneAnimation that's what I said.

[@FirestoneAnimation]

@Chilled_Blue Its moresore *how* you say it. Ekusu when spoken fast sounds like how you say "X". Every time I hear his name in the anime they say it like "Ekes-u" or "Eks-u"

[@Chilled_Blue]

@@FirestoneAnimation well yeah that's to add to the pun of Ekusus character because he literally represents X. But still, its not the wrong to pronounce it.

[@FirestoneAnimation]

@@Chilled_Blue Thats true. It just feels odd to hear a different pronunciation than the sub.

[@sahrilothman8628]

By the way "Kamen" is a translation of "masked" which becomes Masked X but DO YOU KNOW THAT the first ever word that used "Kamen" is from a series called Kamen rider which is a Japanese tokusatsu franchise...and NO ITS NOT A POWER RANGERS RIPOFF THE ONE WHO RIPPED OFF SUPER SENTAI IS HAIM SEBAN WHICH THEN BECOMES POWER RANGERS IN THE WEST (by the way Super Sentai is also One of the Tokusatsu franchises alongside Kamen rider and Ultraman)

It's just a Japanese word, Japan has been using it even before 1971...
