I feel like there's not enough discussion around BBA/Bladebreakers as a team.
Like who manages it? Grandpa? Mr. D?
Why is Takao considered world champion? If everyone was part of it? Who is the clear captain? Who ends up having the most media appearances?
Who does the PR work?
Like Max, Rei and Kai feel strongly about their own worth as beybladers and also want to be considered world champions. If Max was in a tag team with Takao at the end of V-force, why isn't Max also considered a world champion?
Everyone admits that stronger emotions make stronger matches, so all these poor kids are having very public mental breakdowns (Brooklyn, Kai).
These kids are vulnerable to all kinds of bullying, when they started out by just liking beyblading.
Like why is takao more popular than the other three in universe? Sure he's the MC, but he's also the face of BBA.
Hiro/Hitoshi seemed to be written badly to represent shonen trope of elder brother pushing his younger brother etc. etc. But he seemed to believe in BEGA's ideals. That you don't need a team to be a good blader.
The BEGA team seemed more to address their sense of individualism. Takao's also not good at studies, so what's his future? He himself was thinking of the fact that he'd be a famous blader, even if Boris was behind it.
The Demo boys have obvious gripes with how BEGA was run, but was BEGA a necessarily bad idea?
This show's created to market spinnning tops, but I guess later generations took these ideas more seriously, like Beylade X and burst actually have more structure around competitions.
