Beyblade: Metal Fusion Vol. 3 (Nelvana/Vivendi DVD)
Picture: C Sound: C Extras: D Main Program: B-
In the last chapter of Beyblade, Gingka was defeated by Ryuga's L-Drago. Gingka disappears and his friends go searching
for him in the only place they know where Gingka's home, a
hidden Beyblading village in the mountains. Will they find Gingka? Can Gingka get his spirit back or has he
given up on avenging his father? This
time it is up to Gingka's friends to rescue him.
Gingka has just disappeared and seem to have walked away from Beyblading, but
Kenta, Benkei, Madoka and Kyoya believes in him and won't give up on him so
easily, so they head to Koma village in search for Gingka. There they meet new friends and find out
Gingka hasn't runaway but is searching for a greater power in order to train
and fight Ryuga, but Gingka isn't the only one getting stronger, so are his
friends, as they compete their Beyblades evolve and get even stronger in
the battles to come.
Get ready for action cartoon gaming, kids battling kids with their Beyblades. While most of the moves/techniques on the
show are impossible in real life, their characterization brings
the Beyblades to life. Not to
mention the fact the characters themselves almost seem to have a
mental command over their Beyblades. What
is amusing about this series is the visualization of the various
spirits/constellation of the Beyblades in the background, personalization each
Beyblade, even giving them almost character-like personalities to a
non-character item. Much of the theme
revolves around the ideas of Beyblading is fun and friendship is the source of
their strength. If I had to say this was
like any other cartoon/game series it would be like a mix of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon. No extras included.
