Beyblade: Metal Fury S3 E36

## Plot

Despite their friends looking all over the world, there's still no sign of Nemesis. The kids are having fun battling each other. Meanwhile, Rago, Pluto, and Doji are on a boat. The god of destruction has already awakened. Now all they need to do is release the energy it contains all at once. It's time for the lost kingdom to be revived. The sky turns dark and an earthquake occurs. Similar "natural" disasters are happening in other parts of the world. Gaia's preserved power over nature is beginning to fall apart. Madoka tells everyone that they can't use the energy created by the events to narrow down where Nemesis is like last time, since they all started happening at the same time all over the world. Luckily, they get a message from their Russian friends. They show them a current satellite image of the Earth, and recent video of the planet's atmosphere turning dark over the Pacific ocean. That must be where the bad guys are right now. Dynamis says they're most likely trying to raise the lost kingdom of King Hades. The WBBA will send a survey boat. Madoka and Tsubasa will navigate the helicopter. However, Ryo tells Kenta, Masamune, Yu, Zeo, Toby, and Benkei that only the Legendary Bladers will go. There's a limit to the number of people the helicopter can carry, and right now, the power of the Legendary Bladers is what's needed. Tithi doesn't want to go anywhere without Yu, but he tells him that they'll catch up as soon as they can. Before they leave, Dynamis tells Aguma to come with them. Before they can get to the helicopter, they're confronted by Johannes, Herschel, Keyser, and Cycnus. Johannes confirms that their masters are going to revive the kingdom of Hades, and they plan on stopping our heroes from getting there. They're outnumbered, and they already know that they can't beat the Legendary Bladers in a fight, which is why they're going to destroy their ride instead. Tithi stops them, but before Kyoya can use his special move to send them all into space, Ginga and Yuki tell him to think about where they are. If Leone uses its special move, the helicopter will get swept up in it as well, including Tsubasa and Madoka. Unlike at Mist Mountain, Kyoya concedes and calls off his special move. Their only choice is to defeat them one by one. Johannes tells the other three to dodge the others' strikes and keep them busy while he wrecks the helicopter. Everyone inside feels the building shake. Masamune, Kenta, Yu, Benkei, Zeo, and Toby head out to help the others. Kenta still thinks he's responsible for what happened, so he's decided to go along with the others to fight Nemesis. Aguma, Bao, and the Beylin Fist also head to the roof to fight the bad guys. Aguma uses his special move in a way that blows Johannes, the others, and their beys around instead of the helicopter. He also uses his own strength to stop the helicopter from falling. He tells Bao that he's going with the others to stop Nemesis, and asks him to take care of the rest. Benkei, Zeo, and Toby are ready to fight Johannes and the others, but they run away when they see the helicopter take off. Benkei notices that Kenta, Masamune, and Yu are gone. Rago uses Nemesis to raise an island up from the ocean. Destruction leads to creation. They will do what not even Hades could not: Wipe Earth clean and start humanity's history over. They reach the island. Clouds with purple lightning appear in the Earth's atmosphere as more disasters happen all over the world, like blackouts, erupting volcanoes, etc. In the helicopter, it's a rough ride through the storm to try and make it to the survey ship. They see that a huge island has risen where the energy is being released. Dynamis says that during ancient times, Hades sunk part of his kingdom to the bottom of the ocean, so that it could be reborn in modern times, along with Nemesis, and become his new ideal kingdom after the world is destroyed. Tsubasa decides to fly directly to the island. There are large twisters surrounding it, so the survey ship can't get very close, and they only have one image of the island from a satellite. One of the pilots tells the kids that they'll try to get them to the island, but they're using more fuel than expected. They're overweight. They discover that Masamune, Yu, and Kenta snuck onboard. Aguma points out that because of them, they might go down before they even reach the island, and then it'll be all over. All of the lightning strikes don't help. Madoka locates a nearby island where they can land. Tsubasa jettisons their cargo. The helicopter crash lands on a beach. Madoka picks up a signal from the survey ship. They're close to Nemesis's island. Tsubasa says they can get there by boat. The helicopter carries lifeboats for emergencies. Kyoya can handle the twisters. Kenta decides to take Ryuga's place, lend his strength to everyone, and fight alongside Ginga. Speaking of which, Ryuga has reached the island, and confronts Rago, Doji, and Pluto. When Rago gets ready to launch Nemesis to fight him, the storm starts dying down. The kids get to the island and head towards the temple where the intense energy is coming from. Ryuga is shocked that Nemesis wasn't defeated by his special move. Rago tells him that he may call himself the Dragon Emperor, but he's still only human, whereas Nemesis is the god of destruction. Even with only light attacks, Ryuga is pushed back and covered with scratches. Doji applauds him for withstanding the attacks, but he can't keep it up forever. He tells him to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and he'll let him become his faithful servant once again. His position would be even lower than Johannes's. Otherwise, he'll just die here. Ryuga tells him that he's just Hades' monkey. He and Rago continue to fight, and it doesn't go well for him. The kids see L-Drago and Nemesis fighting as dragons in the sky, and realize that Ryuga is fighting Nemesis, and he's losing. Kenta runs ahead. Ryuga is briefly brought to his knees, but he stands up again. He'll crush those that disrespect the Dragon Emperor, even if it costs him his life. He's blown back, but gets back up. He says he won't lose, even if his opponent is a god. He and L-Drago start glowing, and he uses his ultimate move. The resulting explosion with Nemesis sends Doji over the edge and into the water, but he doesn't even care. It's clear that he's truly lost it this time and only cares about getting revenge on his enemies and seeing them suffer. Kenta, Ginga, and Madoka get there in time to see Nemesis use Armageddon, which knocks Ryuga out, blows him away, and sends L-Drago out of the stadium, having been almost completely destroyed. Kenta cries out for Ryuga, but he doesn't answer. When the others get there, they see Kenta and Ginga next to Ryuga. Ginga asks him to wake up and open his eyes. He doesn't want him to give up after all they've been through. The others are in disbelief. Ginga tells Rago and Pluto that he'll never forgive them. They tell them that L-Drago will never spin again, which means that Zeus's barrier can't be formed. They can't borrow the power of Gaia to seal Nemesis away. Dynamis says they're on their own now. Ginga tells Pluto that he doesn't know the first thing about Ryuga. He admits that he put his life on the line to battle Ryuga in the past, and he can't say he was ever their ally, but he underwent training that none of them could even imagine, in order to gain the power he had. He was no different than any blader who wants to be the best. In the end, he was stronger than any of them, and he was Ginga's strongest rival. Kyoya says that he didn't like Ryuga, but he won't allow Pluto to talk that way about him. Even if they don't have Gaia's power, they'll defeat them and protect their future with their very own hands. All of the Legendary Bladers launch their beys, and they're again met by dark versions of their spirits and their beys are blasted back. Madoka says Diablo Nemesis possesses the same amount of power as the Legendary Bladers combined. If they attack head on, they'll only be sent flying again. Masamune says they have to help, and calls out to Kenta, who is still by Ryuga's side. He thinks this wouldn't have happened to Ryuga if he had stood his ground, and decides to take up the fight for him. However, Nemesis sends out dark versions of their beys too. It also copied the powers of every bey the Legendary Bladers have ever fought before. Rago tells them that even if they all attack at once, they're no match for him. Even Aguma's strategy that combines all of their powers only causes Nemesis to wobble briefly. Madoka examines it, and sees that it's a defense type. It has two modes: Attack mode, where it can switch between being an attack type and a stamina type, and Ultimate Balance mode, where Nemesis can switch between the three different performance tips automatically. It possesses the powers of every bey in the world, and surpasses them all in attack, defense, and stamina. It's the strongest bey in history. Rago tells them that they'll be joining Ryuga soon as he sends everyone and their beys flying. Ginga and Kyoya stand up and attack again, but they're both blasted back again, as well as King and Aguma. Tithi asks what will happen to them if this keeps up. Dynamis says it's all over. They don't have enough warriors to summon Gaia. They can't form Zeus's barrier and seal Nemesis away again. The world is going to end. Rago and Pluto tell them that only darkness awaits them as they're blown further away. All around the world, natural disasters keep happening. Ginga refuses to believe that this is the future they've chosen. They won't give up until the very end. This will end when they defeat Nemesis and open the way to their future. However, when Pegasus is repelled again and Rago and Pluto tell him that the time for Hades' prophecy to be fulfilled has come at last, even *Ginga Hagane* seems to be in shock and disbelief. Madoka wonders if it's really all over for them. Kenta looks at Ryuga and says it's not. He's met so many friends, had so many battles, and made more memories than he can count in this world; and he doesn't want it to end. He attacks Nemesis again and again, no matter how many times he gets knocked down. The others tell him to stop because it's too reckless, but he doesn't care. He thinks it's his fault because he wasn't tough enough. The animation bump! The music! Lisette St. Louis's performance! The culmination of Kenta's arc and character development! He says he'll never give up, and Ryuga's finger twitches. He made a promise to Ryuga, that he wouldn't give up until he listened, and that he'd become stronger, until Ryuga would fight seriously on their side, but then he failed. That is why he fights. He'll fight in Ryuga's place. Ryuga picks up what's left of L-Drago. And then Nemesis breaks off Sagittario's claws. Kenta is thrown far back, and his body is smoking and covered in scratches like Ryuga's was, but he's still conscious. Madoka begs Rago to stop because Kenta can't take anymore, but he just tells her to get out of the way. Nemesis blows her away too, but Ginga catches her. Tsubasa, Yu, and Masamune are also blasted back again when they try to help Kenta. He stands up again, and Rago decides to finish him off first if he's so eager to meet his end. However, before that happens, a blue pillar of fire erupts behind them. Ryuga is standing, and he opens his eyes. Oh god, just… the sound of his labored breathing. I don't know if his English voice actor provided his voice for that, but if he did, then Jesus Christ, Carman Melville! Kenta thinks Ryuga is okay at first, but then this happens. **Ryuga:** "That one time, it was only for a brief shining moment, I became serious. I promised. Take it, Kenta!" He launches his bey at Sagittario, and a light flows out of L-Drago and into Kenta's bey. Kenta starts glowing blue, and has no idea what's happening. When the transfer is done, L-Drago disintegrates, and Ryuga is also gone. Because it's a children's show, he just disappears into the light or something instead of leaving a body behind. It says a lot that Disney handles death more realistically. Everyone knows what happened though, and they're devastated, especially Kenta, who sheds a tear and cries out Ryuga's name in grief. When he does, an orange pillar of fire erupts behind him, and Sagittario *evolves*, which shocks everyone else. Ginga realizes that he's a Legendary Blader, and Kenta… doesn't respond. Against all odds, he achieved his goal. He finally got what he thought he wanted all along, and he doesn't even notice or seem to care. He just turns towards Rago, Pluto, and Nemesis, and tells them that they're going to pay for what they've done.
