I'm so really sorry for the mess it is this year. I'll do better for the next edition.

For now, a poll for you to decide when you'd like the KyoGin Week 2025 to happen.

Ginga: I made a solemn promise to Kenta and Kyouya. With Yuu, and Hikaru and Benkei to go to the Battle Bladers together.

Kyouya: That's right.

Ginga: Ah ?

Kyouya: So why are you taking so long.

Ginga: Kyouya !

Kyouya: The only one who will defeat you is me. I will never forgive you if you lose here.

Ginga: Okay ! I'm so on it.

(Of course, smiling as if there was only Kyouya here. Their usual relationship. Everything is fine as long as Kyouya's here. Even if world is literally collapsing around them.)

(And this looks like a love confession)

Kyouya: Copying me. I'm so flattered.

"Well, you have me a little scared."

-Kyouya Tategami, about Ginga Hagane, episode 39 (Beyblade Metal Fusion)

Kyouya admitted out loud he was worried. Worst. He admits having felt fear. Kyouya Tategami. The one who jumps out a plane to a canyon filled with bloodthirsty wolves because Daidouji (not the most trustworthy person on Earth) tells him it's a good idea and jumps into tornadoes to train Leone.

And this smile !

Ginga and Kyouya are so obvious.

Yuu and Ginga, talking about legenday bladers and saving the world... but, then, Ginga asks how Yuu knows about the legendary bladers.

Yuu: You should ask Yoyo about that I guess.

Kyouya, off-screen: Don’t call me Yoyo!

Ginga: Kyouya? Is Kyouya there with you?

Can we talk about Ginga succeeding of calming down Kyouya? Just by talking to him?

First, Kyouya rage against their whole environment, destroying everything around him. The others are staying back, explaining his behavior, not ready to intervene. They just want to stay aside and wait for Kyouya’s anger to go out itself.

Then, zoom on Ginga.

Unlike the others, he doesn’t care about explaining Kyouya’s reaction. He just cares about him. His whole attention is on Kyouya. And he does what no one else can:

he intervenes.

Just watch this part in video. Ginga doesn’t hold Kyouya’s wrist: he’s gripping it. He clings it so tight his hand is shaking. It’s not a “let’s happily chat!” it’s “we have to talk, now, and don’t think you’re escaping this” xD

And right away, Ginga starts lecturing Kyouya about the uselessness of his reaction. Who else would have dared to tell this face to face.

I like how he’s shocked 2 seconds flat by Kyouya’s fierceness, and then annoyed. Usually, Kyouya just raise his voice and people start cowering, even those who know him for long like Benkei (Yuu is a whole different problem, because he knows Kyouya isn’t really serious when he roars on him). While Ginga’s first reaction is a mere surprise. He isn’t afraid of Kyouya, he isn’t impressed by his temper. He just didn’t expect him to react like this and when he understands what happens it gets on his nerves.

He starts answering angrily but then calms down. And... Miracle!

Kyouya is suddenly calm.

Ginga talks to Kyouya calmly, as if they are just standing face-to-face. Nothing strange in the current situation, everything’s normal.

And Kyouya lets go of him so gently, especially compared to the way he grabbed him in the scene’s beginning.

I have to point it out again: Ginga just talked and he succeeds to calm Kyouya down. With words (I believe this point can’t be stressed on too much). And Kyouya listens. He listens intently.

(The way Kyouya follows Ginga’s movements, before looking at him again, is so cute)

Then Ginga resumes talking and they stare at each other. In fact, the whole scene is them facing each other. They are in their own world, without the other characters, even without the spectators (they are turned toward each other all along, not facing or glancing at the camera once).

And then, suddenly, the mood changes. It’s not solemn anymore. Kyouya lightens it up with a challenge, that Ginga understands right away. They run away playfully...

...while the others (who still exist, apparently xD) don’t understand what happened. There isn’t even a zoom on their reaction, they stay in the background as one set, because the scene was about Ginga and Kyouya and they have no impact on it.
