Beyblade: Metal Fury S3 E2

## Plot

Yuki gets off his boat and tries to head to the WBBA headquarters to find Ginga, but Johannes battles him with his cat bey Lynx. Yuki realizes that he's really strong, so he runs away. Meanwhile, Kyoya and Ginga are battling Benkei and Kenta with their new and improved beys at the stadium. Madoka has told Ryo and Hikaru what happened. Both Pegasus and Leone's fusion wheels have been separated into a core and a frame. Rearranging their positions makes changing modes possible. By attaching the fusion wheel's frame upside down, Leone can switch from defense mode to counter mode, which is why Leone didn't lose to Pegasus in terms of power after transforming. That makes Leone an attack type. In Pegasus's case, the fusion wheel has evolved into three layers. By sliding the fusion wheel, it should be able to change into various modes. When its spin power drops, the semi-flat performance tip retracted, and when the rubber part comes into contact with the stadium, it kicks against the stadium with the rubber to gain a second wind. Ginga uses this feature to defeat Kenta. Hikaru and Ryo wonder how Pegasus and Leone transformed in the first place. Kyoya defeats Benkei and clearly doesn't want to be there. Ryo thinks he has a responsibility to figure out how his bey transformed, because he and Ginga caused a lot of destruction to the island they were on the other day. They ask him if anything strange or unusual happened before Leone transformed. Benkei mentions that while training the night before the battle in Wolf Canyon, a bright light fell from the sky. Madoka mentions seeing the same thing while she was fixing Pegasus. Kyoya just wants to settle things with Ginga, but since they're not going to battle each other, he leaves, and names his bey Fang Leone. He runs into Yuki, who knows who he is and asks him for help against Johannes, but he just says that this has nothing to do with him, and as a blader, Yuki should take care of this bey battle himself. Before Lynx can defeat Mercury Anubius, Ginga steps in and saves Yuki. Johannes disappears. Yuki calls Ginga a legendary blader and asks Ginga to lend him his strength to defeat Nemesis, but then he passes out. He wakes up at the B-Pit. Everyone is there except Kyoya. Yuki tells them the story of the original star fragment. He knows about it because his grandfather was from Koma Village. He also told him that when a dazzling glow lights up the earth from the heavens, a new star fragment will arrive and awaken a great power. That's another legend passed down in Koma Village. Yuki decided to calculate when the new star fragment would arrive, so he used various astronomical observations and research of ancient ruins to construct his own timeline of the universe. The most important reference was from the ancient Mayan civilization. One of their calendars predicted the arrival of the new star fragment. In fact, calendars from several ancient civilizations predicted the meteor's arrival, and Ryo reminds everyone that beys are incredibly old. Yuki is sure that the dazzling light from the legend was referring to the energy of the spiral force that Ginga released into space with his Pegasus. Depending on who has the star fragment though, its power could be used for evil. A continuation of the legend warns that light and dark are two sides of the same coin. Where there is light present, darkness could creep in. This could transform the new light into a tunnel of darkness. Yuki's grandfather told him that when the time came, he had to make sure that any evil presence hoping to use the new star fragment would be crushed completely. Yuki realizes that the star fragment itself sensed it, and that's why it broke into ten pieces. He tells them that one of the pieces came straight to him at his observatory. Images were pushed into his mind, as if the star fragment was speaking to him. It showed him someone in a cloak who was clearly evil, and a black sun, which he recognized as Nemesis, the god of destruction. Evil people want to revive Nemesis, which will turn the world into darkness. Yuki tells everyone that the Mayan calendar even predicts the day humanity will be destroyed, and that day is coming up soon. He thinks they meant the world would end if Nemesis was revived. That's why the star fragment split its power into pieces, and entrusted them to the legendary bladers. They're ten people who received the power of the star fragment, and we see their silhouettes. One of them is obviously Ginga, and the other is Kyoya. That's why their beys transformed, because the power of the star fragment was amplified by their bey spirits. The enemy will also be looking for the legendary bladers to try and gain their power for themselves. They have to prevent that at any cost. Yuki remembers who Kyoya is, and says that he's trouble. Ginga names his bey Cosmic Pegasus. Kenta and Benkei wonder if they could become legendary bladers too. Benkei was also there when the light fell, but Kenta shouldn't get his hopes up so much. That being said, it's what this season is all about, at least that's what I think. *Everyone* wants to be a legendary blader, but only ten people are chosen, and they're not all good people who want to save the world. Still, the ones that obviously aren't chosen, like Madoka or Benkei, still do everything they can to help. If season 1 was Ginga's season, and season 2 was about everyone, with arcs about Tsubasa and Masamune, then I think season 3 is about Kenta and his growth as a character, but I'll get more into that later.
