Beyblade Metal Fury - episode 7



Watching Beyblade Metal Fury episode 7 I noticed a few things about characters of the show.

1. While Ryuga is sleeping he has this lovely feminine curve around his hips. Its beautiful.
2. I find it hilarious that Kenta fantasises of bringing Ryuga back and everyone, including Kyouya, would congratulate him and smile really big smiles and everything.
3. Can we just acknowledge that Kenta does a hilarious impersonation of Ryuga too?

But the best thing about it is the way Ryuga is characterised. Everyone who watches the show know that Ryuga has never really been shown as a 'people person'. He one of the 'villains' in the first season and in the second season he's not known to do anything for anyone but himself.
Kenta on the other hand is Ginga's friend who feels completely useless to all his friends during this time (season 3). In the first two seasons Kenta is shown as the beyblader who cheers his friends on and cries a lot.
Back to the point, in this episode of the third season Kenta breaks down in front of Ryuga when he gives him food and tells him to 'hit the road'. But when Kenta breaks down Ryuga doesn't comment on it. He doesn't try to comfort him but he doesn't go out of his way to call Kenta a wimp or tell him to stop crying because it isn't manly, he just listens to him before telling him that it has nothing to do with him (Ryuga).
When Kenta persists Ryuga asks why he would go so far for this receiving a detailed answer about why he is following Ryuga and refusing to give up. There is no hint that Ryuga even wants to interrupt him. Ryuga just sits on his log staring.
After being told the explanation Ryuga glares at Kenta, as he did earlier in the episode to scare off a tiger to which Kenta says won't affect him.
Being made evident that he isn't going to back down, Ryuga tells Kenta to challenge him. If he challenges Ryuga then he can come along. And remember, Ryuga is willingly letting Kenta come along on that single condition knowing that he would do it.
In conclusion, it shows that Ryuga isn't actually a completely selfish character. With enough persistence someone can manage to get permission to follow Ryuga even if they aren't particularly strong in comparison which I really like. They have shown a different side to Ryuga for once, it's very nice.
