Honestly, a pretty fun opening episode. We start by skipping half a year (which isn't established explicitly in the show) and Valt is now part of some international duelling team and is leaving his friends behind to pursue this. After meeting a new character who's going to be very obviously prominent, he gets an upgraded version of Valtryek and goes for a rematch to test the waters with the new Beyblade. It just serves as a set-up for the overall environment and explaining why Valt's Beyblade looks like that, and that it's also pretty much starting from scratch and having to find out all the secrets, mysteries, evolutions, and tactics with this new variant. I rather like that because it would feel rather silly to keep giving the old model of Valtryek fifty thousand new abilities and tricks just so it keeps on pace with the new calibre of Beyblading that we're for sure going to establish. Not sure how it'll compare to the pervious season, but I'm definitely down to give it a good old try.
