The last one was inspired by @iamtrashyartz, this is your fault
Can we talk about Takao’s decision to leave Dranzer MS on Yuri’s bed just before the BEGA tournament instead of keeping it with him? I mean, Takao is one of the closest people to Kai, Kyoujyu entrusted that precious bey to him and given the fact that the team desperately needed Kai to join, it would have been logic for Takao to keep it with him, so that his friend would be ready to battle as soon as he reappeared.
And instead he entrusts Dranzer to Yuri, who lies in a hospital bed in a coma.
Because Takao knows. He knows that Kai will eventually enter that hospital room to visit him. He knows that despite the denial of both, they share a bond. That despite their divergence of opinions, they fight with the same passion and long for the same freedom, and deep down understand each other. He knows that to Kai Yuri has become important.
And he is right.
Kai doesn’t remember anything from the fight against Brooklyn, his eyes are dull, and yet he remembers Yuri. He doesn’t recognise anyone, not even the BEGA bladers on the big screen while he is wandering in the city, but he recognises him.
And there he finds that little precious bey which makes him regain the fighting spirit and the passion for the sport.
His eyes are bright again.
Takao knows.
Kai: "This bloodline ends with me."
Tala: "That's the fanciest way I've ever heard someone say 'I'm gay'."

feral yuriy monday, anyone?
Eyes have never been my strongest thing to draw, but I tried 🥹✨ I like the S1/manga colors more because of the contrast with their hair ((does that makes any sense???))
I wish I knew how to make animations to make them wink 😩
