The GENIUS Beyblade Protagonist - Kamen X 

Yeah, real quick, Multi didn't create Dran Sword so my bad on that mistake lol. Edit: I wanna quickly say, I was originally gonna say 13 protagonists that included both Bird and Multi. To me, I consider Team Persona as protagonists but I got comments on my last beyblade videos and also while looking up the protagonist of X and what people thought, I came to the conclusion that between Team Persona, Ekusu is the main one that the story mostly revolves around and he drives the story forward more than Multi and Bird. Just because a certain character gets more development doesn't mean they're the protagonist. So ultimately, in the end, that's why I chose to exclude both Bird and Multi and just Ekusu as the main protagonist. Seeing comments on this video and thinking about it more, to me, I consider Team Persona as protagonists. Edit 2: Look, when I looked up the name, it was written as Ekusu so I just pronounced it the way I saw it 🤣

Whipping out the BIBLE VERSE to help explain his analysis of Ekusu is crazy

He's insane, the only thing inside his head is one single spinning braincell that is continuously x-dashing and it only ever stops for weird "sushi". He is one of my favorite characters ever.

i swear this chanel has the best beyblade content out there

Ex is such a dork, in a good way, and absolutely love him for that.

9:54 not only do sparks fly everywhere, he's so raw that he literally conjures a full Bey hologram even though the bootleg stadium was only able to project incomplete and inferior designs, bro was so good at the game he forced the stadium to do something it wasnt even designed for

I really like the balance of team persona in the show/manga, Bird seemingly never wins but is constantly improving, Multi is kind of in the middle with wins and losses and Kamen just kinda never loses or draws, if one is getting too boring switch to another. It makes for a really great story dynamic

Don’t forget bird aswell. It was confirmed a while back that both bird and ekusu are deutero-tagonists

1:00 I just wanna point out that the phonetic way of saying his name is like saying X. His full name is literally X Cross(Cross X)

Ekusu he is carefree protagonist unlike others beyblade protagonist who seeks become best strongest blader ekusu has no interersting be strongest top blade onlt he wants fun with beyblade and facing strong blade enjoy it

This was a really great video essay, also im glad you know he’s the protagonist cuz a lot of people still think bird is.

“Nah I’d win” in a character

DUDE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT WHICH ONE OF THE PROTAGONISTS I WOULD CONSIDER MOST TALENTED LAST NIGHT IN MY BEDROOM WHILE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT BEYBLADE STUFF. So I haven't watched all the video yet as not to be influenced in my explanation. Of course as soon as I finish typing this comment i'll proceed too watch the rest of it. I of course went with Ekusu too because in a way I think how I phrased it last night in my head. He's already reached a sort of Beyblade Nirvana or Nirvana for Beyblade. It's really something we haven't seen with any other protagonist. It's really interesting the differences between Tyson, Gingka, Valt and the other Burst protagonists. However I feel Ekusu is by far the most unique for me. The fact that he always wins isn't the part which should be paid attention too. It's the fact that no matter what he'll have FUN. Having fun in a battle IS winning for Ekusu. Everything else is secondary. Compared to other protagonists I'd say the difference between them and Ekusu is he doesn't have desires IN battle he has desires FOR battle itself. Ekusu is quite literally the X variable as was stated in the show haha. It's not that he hasn't trained it's not that he's perfect. He just is himself. Ekusu is literally the embodiment of Beyblade itself. It's meant to be A Game so he treats it like that. A battle of wits and strength. In a game you wanna complete the objective but you also buy the game in the first place to play with it to have fun. It's just that simple because at the end of the day you can't divide fun down any further. Ekusu knows this which is why everything he does is just for the sake of fun. He has both natural talent and has put in hard work to improve himself. No matter who you are he'll battle you. Beginner or Pro. It's not the fact that he wins it's the fact that he doesn't play to win or not to win he just plays and that's what makes Ekusu/Kamen X UNDEFEATABLE.

Jaxon Cross has become my favorite Beyblade character and this video greatly explains why. The real life game is about having fun. So glad the show is finally putting a bigger emphasis on that compared to past series!

I wonder if Ekusu/Jaxon will ever lose. TBH that's what I'm hoping for. Maybe next season.

Ekusu reminds me of Yu from Metal series and Brooklyn from OG series to an extent. But I find his character too idealistic as we are yet to explore his vulnerable side (all previous protagonists had one). I can't imagine what will happen if Ekusu becomes evil.

This video is awsome, Really tell us that Ekusu it just different than other protag, other protag mostly want the become a world champion/to the top/legend whatever, eventho they keep saying “Beyblade is for fun” but cmon we can see what they really want. Ekusu just really took the “for fun” quote in next level, i mean bro is already a champion but he decided to restart his journey for yeah “having fun”

it has been confirmed that all of the Team Persona members (Bird, X and Multi) are the protagonists.

I hope you do one for Bird, I really like him as a whole and i would enjoy a deeper analysis of him.

HE’s back with another banger 🎉

The fact he was holding back heavily against everyone else until the finale where he went all out against chrome and kinda humiliated him 💀😭🙏

My fav thing about x is how instead of always wanting to win he just wants to have a fun battle

3:38 Multi didnt make dransword. You just said it was given to him by his master

Personally speaking, Bird is the true protagonist of the series, we start the series off with bird, we are watching in his perspective, a presepective that idolizes Eksu, that looks up to him, that's why we see eksu getting the main character attention, but in birds eyes X is the main character, but spoiler Alert it all was bird, in chapter 15 we end in Bird being the one to close of the first Arc, not Ex, Bird was the last Battle, bird was the one with the most character development, ex never got a single character development, we only seen x grow in power but he has always stayed the same as a character x never learned to battle purely for fun, or to not hyper fixate on winning, it was all Bird, bird was the one to learn to not hyper fixate on winning, he was the one to learn to have fun and relax, he was the one who learnt from X and tried ti imitate him

For me, he feels like a kinder, protagonistic version of Obito.

I actually started watching this show a while ago. I think it’s solid. Multi is the best character imo. And I appreciate the new insight on Blader X. I always saw him as similar to Nemona: he’s always so keen to battle and can be seen as a bit forward. But he’s also starting from square one like Nemona to battle someone that they deem would give them a good fight. It’s a really interesting perspective for a protagonist because usually we see them as beginners when they decide they wanna climb the top. But here it’s the opposite: it’s X’s choice to go back to the beginning and I find that interesting. My only issue is the fact he prevents progress for the actual protagonist Robin Kazami. Since the show continues to have Multi and X do all the heavy lifting and don’t want to undermine them, Robin keeps on getting the short end of the stick which is really annoying. He’s the main character and works the hardest of the 3! He deserves to be rewarded for the fruits of his labour and the show just refuses to give that to him!

7:48 Shu when free beat him in season 2💀

Beyblade X is the first time I was more focused on the real life product than the anime so I know very little of it, most of my knowledge comes from RU-vid videos on how Bird always loses and from there I thought he was the protagonist and for the first time protagonist of Beyblade generation isn't a boy in blue with an attack type beyblade so I was a little confused with the thumbnail calling Kamen X the protagonist until I looked it up and realized that he is the main protagonist not Bird who is the deuteragonist which makes sense because his beyblade is the one positioned with the previous protagonists beyblades. It makes sense if they're all protagonist's beyblades, I just thought they were the most popular beyblades from each generation.

Please do a video essay of Chrome Ryugu. He’s starting to become my favorite antagonist in the series, not because of his unhinged upbringing (well it’s part of it) but how he tries to cope when he thinks that he lost Ekusu from Kamen X. He’s not even a traditional Beyblade antagonist that we’ve seen before. I would like to see more video essays on Beyblade in general so keep it up!

Still can't believe they named the main character X Cross 😭, never seen such creative bankruptcy.

Sorry, I'm gonna have to chimp in and rant a bit, since I think TT is misleading everyone, including you, about Ekusu being the protagonist, especially with the upcoming anniversary set already the biggest misleading within the Bird VS Ekusu protagonist debate, and completely ignored Multi. As for my rant, Team Persona is the protagonist of X, not Ekusu alone, and neither is Bird, no but, no deuteragonist, no tritagonist, only team, the whole point of X is team focus, if Team Persona isn't the main focus, there would be no reason for the writers to do the whole team format hassle to make Bird look bad, and Ekusu could go solo like Multi at the start of the show, even outside of the battle format, the writers put a lot of care for both Bird and Multi more than X by giving them a lot more screen time and story for their development because they know Ekusu already got the gimmick that he's an unbeatable genius, everyone obsessed over him, and there no story for him as he remains a static character because they know Ekusu would take all the attention at this point if he get all the part of the story, and it was intentional, X at the end of the day is a story of a team climbing the top of the tower not a person climbing it alone.

The chosen one! Great video

What happens with beyblade X is the same as with kakegurui where the one who was the protagonist narratively in reality was not (suzui) that would have the role of bird and X that does not seem the protagonist in reality is, it has been said that they are the 3, but since beyblade X was announced it had been said that dransword was used by the mc, so it was never bird from the beginning and today X is still referred to as the only mc in official media. Do people really think that they are going to put x as their mascot and next to the other mc just because he is the most popular without being the mc? Really? Nice video

They've said bird and multi are also MCs, but common X is the main focus holding them all together. Basically, I'm tired of people just pointing to common X as the MC of X when he isn't the only MC

Saying ekusu is the protagonist of of beyblade X is like saying Godzilla is the protagonist of his movies. To me it's it's more like the main plot happens around him and revolves around him. Despite what the wiki says about Bird being a deuteragonist, I think he is the main character.

Bird is the real main character but it might as well be ekusu

He's a fun loving bay berserker and that keeps me interested.

Thank you for bringing up the Lords book on top of what your passion it was you just earned a a sub

Nah it’s Sunday for me whipping out a bible verse is crazy work

Erm.. actually Bird/Robin Kazami is the Main Character 🤓☝

Ekusu...he's...HE'S JUST LIKE ME FR

10:09 this is so creepy....

i luv how chaotic he is!!

I really must watch beyblade x idk why I’ve been holding back from watching it still. If only I can find it somewhere like netflix

DUDE, awesome video! Kurosu ekusu grew in my eyes a bit cus of this video lol. BUT can u plsssssssssssssssss tell me the name of that music from outro, i like it

You should do beyblade antagonist tho, if you want

Where my boy DANTE ATTT DANTE NEXT???

is there an GENIUS in B-Daman like Ekusu Kurosu in Beyblade X?

Bros name is just x cross (ekusu kurosu eksu kross, x cross) its all a pun (source: japanese and english are both my first languages)

Multi didn't create DranSword

Ekusu is pronounced Xsu.

Wasnt Bird the mc? Well i guess i could see kamen x being the mc lol

Can you talk about lain for Beyblade burst surge

Ekoosoo kurosu

Dawg ekusu is just a smurf.

Srry for asking again but u watch the video multiple times and i like the music from the begining..... Music name please? 😅

By the way "Kamen" is a translation of "masked" which becomes Masked X but DO YOU KNOW THAT the first ever word that used "Kamen" is from a series called Kamen rider which is a Japanese tokusatsu franchise...and NO ITS NOT A POWER RANGERS RIPOFF THE ONE WHO RIPPED OFF SUPER SENTAI IS HAIM SEBAN WHICH THEN BECOMES POWER RANGERS IN THE WEST (by the way Super Sentai is also One of the Tokusatsu franchises alongside Kamen rider and Ultraman)

The zone 😊 go in to zone

I think some of the points you make here are also reasons why some people might dislike Ekusu. He’s given the strongest bey from the beginning and it’s seems he was just good at beyblade since the start (we never see him actually train). Ekusu comes in and easily beats the champion of the X tower in his first battle with him and seemingly never struggles in his future battles. His ideologies are never actually challenged and his character just feels incredibly one-note and stagnant. But hey, that’s just my dumb opinion

Next Beyblade Protagonist Video (Hopefully): The Most UNDERRATED Beyblade Protagonist- Dante Koryu (Please)

Do drum now he awesome

Kamen X is so goated my guy had to bring the Bible out to explain it 🙏🔥

You probably could've called him by his dub name, which is Jaxon cross. Also, I think his japanese name is technically pronounced as "X Cross"

Bird terrible win streak cuz him to demote from title of mc . Btw I stop at like episode 15 cuz I can’t find English dub

Hes just X version of deadpool

Bird is the protag of x, not ex.

Ekusu = me playing ball 😂🏀🔥

I admit, I was hesitant about this show at first because I did not like the Burst era but the type of the X beyblades brought me back in and not only do I love this new generation of the game but I love the show. I like the characters, the story and how realistic and relatable it feels. 😁👍👍 That being said, the Fusion - Shotgun era will always be nostalgic and hold a place in my heart. ☺️

"Eh-koo-soo" brother *please* Also 10:05 I'd be scared like those cheaters too, even when I'm against these types of battles. (Imo Bird should've been allowed to cook these clowns to show development, but I'm happy with seeing a beyblade protagonist absolutely lose it like this

Am I high or did I just hear Eurobeat in a Beyblade video?

Yea I like the whole having fun part but I wanna see sadness I wanna see toxicity. I don’t wanna see this happy go lucky type things yk

So basically he is beyblade x version of gojo from jjk

He is the gingka of this gen

He’s the main character I thought it was the other guy in the team am I dumb?

I just call him beyblade gojo fr

He kind of reminds me of yukimora from samurai deeper kyo

Beyblade x is amazing but nostalgia is keeping metal fight saga top tier

X is boring he dus same thing doesnt train its boring the same move its like replay nothing changes what als he loses x never loses how do we know he vinds it fun self if he loses

blader x isnt the protag its robin

It's technically 11 if you count Beywheelz and Beyraiders but those are forgettable and not the heart of the sport.

Bird is NOT the main character anymore get his fodder ahh outta here, i hella knew i was right to pick Ekusu as my favorite X character 😂🙏

Best beyblade show 1 metal fight 2 burst and x is 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️😂 don't give me wrong the beys are great but the anime is 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
