Metal Fight Beyblade: Difference between revisions

* [[Abandoned Warehouse]]: The Face Hunters hideout is one.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The characters and stories are much more fleshed out than in the manga.

* [[Alternate Universe]]: [[Word of God]] states that this series takes place in an entirely different universe than the original Beyblade.

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Ginga, Kyouya, Tsubasa and Yu are all shown as insanely strong when they are introduced, given their shown experience.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Kyoya and Tsubasa.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: How Ginga {{spoiler|defeats Phoenix. He uses Pegasus' Starburst Attack to trick Phoenix into countering it. This was a trick to goad him into using his own finisher, leaving Phoenix wide open for Pegasus' Storm Bringer which finished the match.}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Just mention Ginga's dad and something bad about him in the same sentence.

** [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Ryuga used this to his advantage in order to {{spoiler|successfully defeat Ginga in their battle}} and thus (whether [[Accidental Aesop|accidentally]] or not) invoke a certain [[An Aesop|aesop]] about letting your anger/rage control you and cloud your judgement.

* [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Doji and Ryuga in the first season. {{spoiler|Though Ryuga turned out to be [[Eviler Than Thou]] and [[Devour the Dragon|killed Doki by sucking out all his energy.]]}}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: In the anime, Ginga grew up in a place called Koma Village, and this was kept in the dub. "Koma" is the Japanese word for spinning top, as well as what stemmed the word "Beigoma", which "Beyblade" is derived from, so it makes total sense that almost everyone in Koma Village is a Blader. While this is a minor example, it is significant nonetheless.

** Majority of the males in the cast may also count as this.

* [[Body Horror]]: Occurs when {{spoiler|Ryuga is possessed by L-Drago. We actually see his face extend forwards into a dragon-like snout.}}

* [[Devour the Dragon]]: Ryuga made a habit of doing this by absorbing his underlings' energy with L-Drago when they failed him. Doji didn't mind and quite a few times ''fed'' them to Ryuga. {{spoiler|[[Karmic Death|Doji ultimately meets this fate as well.]]}}

* [[Eagle Land]]: Ginga demonstrates that he thinks of America as a type 2, through a small exchange between him and Masamune.

'''Ginga:''' That explains [[Boisterous Bruiser|a]] [[Mouthy Kid|lot]]. }}

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Kyoya does quite a good one in episode 10.

*** Ginga: [[The Hero]]

*** Kyoya: [[The Rival]], [[The Lancer]]

*** Kenta: [[Cheerful Child]] / [[Kid Sidekick]]

*** Madoka: A combination of [[The Chick]], [[The Medic]], and [[The Smart Guy]].

* [[Floating Continent|Floating City]]: Dr. Ziggurat uses {{spoiler|spiral energy to make Hades city fly. This ends up being the final battleground in ''Masters''}}. Hilariously, it looks exactly like a beyblade.

* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]: Daidoji.

*** Meimei, the Sanguine, Chiyun, the Choleric, Da Shan, the Melancholic, and Chao Xin, the Phlegmatic.

* [[Full Boar Action]]: One of the few things that scares Benkei: a wild boar.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Both Benkei and Kyoya become allies of Ginga by episode 11 despite being villains when first introduced. So do Tsubasa, Yu, and Ryutaro by the conclusion of the first season.}}

* [[Heroic BSOD]] Ginga, for one, almost loses his blader spirit after utterly losing to Ryuuga. Poor guy.

** It's quite unsettling to watch the English dub if the voices of [[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]] characters are imbedded to your head...

*** And then most of the female beybladers are also quite well known, namely [[Mai Nakahara]], [[Marina Inoue]], [[Eri Kitamura]],

* [[Hot Dad]]: Ryusei

* [[Inconsistent Dub]]: Although most of the Beyblades retain their constellation based names, Tsubasa's Aquila beyblade was renamed "Eagle" for some reason. What makes this especially egregious is that the viewers can clearly see "Aquila" on the face bolt. While it's true that "aquila" means "eagle" in latin, "Aquila" is still the name of Tsubasa's beyblade in the original Japanese version.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Russia's national team who stole information used it to rig arenas to cripple their opponents and then call it fair since 'the conditions are the same' when called on their bullshit, oh, and they also almost KILLED Masamune. All this so they could realize their dream to get sponsors so they could go to space, in the end they are left unpunished and in fact don't even get yelled at, and no one holds a grudge not even the kid they, again, almost indirectly murdered. They DO lose to Team Japan but they end up getting sponsors and going to space anyway.

* [[Large Ham]]: Even if the series is a [[World of Ham]], filled with [[Naming Your Attacks]], Masamune is still very prominent

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]

* [[Lip Lock]]: Suffers from this quite badly.

* [[Long Bus Trip]]: Sora hasn't been seen for a while now. We'll see if he comes back for the second season!

* [[Magical Computer]]: Madoka has some type of computer/laptop.

* [[Market-Based Title]]: "Metal Fight Beyblade" in Japan is "Beyblade: Metal Fusion" in North America, with "Explosion" known as "Metal Masters".

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: His mother is not mentioned and is father {{spoiler|was killed when Daidoji and Ryuga stole the forbidden Bey Lightning L-Drago}}

* [[Parrot Exposition]]: Benkei is especially prone to this.

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|Ginga's eyes turn blood red when Ryuga insults his father.}}

** Averted with Sora. His eyes turn red when he activates his 'blade's special attack, but he's (apparently) a good guy.

* [[Screw Destiny]]: Ginga versus the fortune-telling Ryutaro Fukami. Ryutaro says he knows Ginga's destined to lose. Ginga shouts back with confidence- "If that's my destiny then I'll just have to change it!!"

* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: {{spoiler|Ginga gives a pretty epic one to Reiji in their battle. It's also extremely effective, causing Reiji to lose it and undergo a [[Villainous Breakdown]].}}

* [[Slasher Smile]]: Ryuga and Mizuchi love flashing them before they defeat anyone!

* [[Serious Business]]: Spinning tops are very serious business. Though in ''this'' world, they're also capable of causing massive destruction and, in L-Drago's case, sucking the life force out of people.
