All right, so, half the episode was padded with flashbacks of our departing friend, Ken, and it did nothing but pad out the runtime and make the whole thing more annoying to watch. Nonetheless, a very satisfying set of battles. I guess it makes sense for Ken to shine the way he did considering these are (possibly) his forever leaving episodes. More than anything, I'm so satisfied with the conclusion to Yugo's battle (the twat needed humbling), and we seem to be in for a couple good matchups next episode. The reason we're rating low is mostly due to the flashbacks; I cannot overstate how annoying they actually were.

Episode Context

Ken Midori takes center stage in an episode that rewards fans who've been waiting for his moment to shine. The energy here is all about stepping up when your team needs you most, expect high-intensity Beyblade battles driven by strategy and raw determination. The pacing keeps things moving with dynamic battle sequences that highlight Ken's growth as a blader, while quieter moments between teammates reinforce the bonds holding the BeyClub together. The Sword Flames dojo opponents bring genuine pressure, raising the stakes and making every spin count. Themes of perseverance, unity, and personal evolution are front and center without feeling heavy-handed. If you enjoy episodes where a supporting character gets a meaningful spotlight within a larger team conflict, this one delivers exactly that kind of payoff.
