CATDOLL: The new comic of "Beyblade" is criticized for the science of playing mini racing

The new comic of the childhood classic "Beyblade" "Beyblade Return Racers" began serialization in 2014 and has updated five episodes so far. It is also based on mini racing cars, but the unscientific plot of the new work is simply too unscientific to complain about...

The new comic "Beyblade Return Racers" is also drawn by the original author Tetsuhiro Koshida, telling the story of "Beyblade" more than ten years later. At this time, the brothers Hoshima Go and Hoshima Rei have grown into handsome young men and have their own jobs. Among them, Hoshima has become a professional racing driver, representing Japan in the world championships and achieving successes one after another; Rei went to study abroad, and after returning, he joined a scientific research institution and almost no longer tinkered with mini racing cars.

Yes, you read it right. The bearded guy in the middle is Xiao Hao.

In this setting, the story suddenly changes with the appearance of a mysterious little boy. After Xiao Hao becomes the boy's "father", all kinds of exciting plots emerge, turning the originally normal story into a sci-fi drama. Netizens also enjoy complaining about the unreasonableness of the comics.

Judging from the reactions of netizens at home and abroad, the complaints about "Beyblade Return Racers" mainly focus on the following points:

Complaint 1: It is pronounced as "New Serialization" and written as "Reminiscence Killing"

Since Xiao Hao has a "son", the comic should continue to tell the story of the father's parenting experience, right? Before the comic started serialization, the gimmick of the "son" made many readers speculate about the plot, but the actual plot completely subverted people's imagination.

Of the five episodes of the comic that have been serialized so far, except for the first episode which tells the story of Xiao Hao playing mini racing with his "son", the other four episodes are all based on memories. The so-called "son" only serves to "remind Xiao Hao to tell stories", and these stories are more mysterious than each other.

Before leaving the country, Xiao Lie and Xiao Hao had their last match.

For example, after the World Cup, Xiao Lie was recommended by Dr. Tsuchiya to study abroad. Before leaving, he and Xiao Hao started a two-person competition for the title of "Japan's No. 1 Mini Racer". In addition, there is the story of Xiao Hao and Xiao Lie being provoked to compete with the Mini Racer Destroyer, as well as the two-person duel between Xiao Hao and Eagle Feather Dragon.

The local tycoon Fujiyoshi provided an amazing track

Of course, these nostalgic stories all have one thing in common - driving a (mini four-wheel drive) car when there is a disagreement.

Complaint point 2: Xiaohao is actually a father? The male god Xiaolie is still unmarried?

The first chapter of the new comic is a scene of Xiao Hao driving a racing car after he became an adult. Due to unauthorized operation, Xiao Hao eventually lost the race. After returning to the apartment, he unexpectedly got a son? It turns out that this boy named "Xiao Yi" is the child fostered by the former racing queen in his home, so Xiao Hao became a surrogate father.

Xiaoyi, the "son" who looks exactly like Xiaohao

Netizens' complaints mainly focus on Xiaoyi's appearance and attire. "He looks too much like Xiaohao!", "They look exactly the same", "Is he really Xiaohao's child?" and other suspicions are rampant in discussion forums and social media platforms. In fact, if it is not specifically stated, many people would probably mistake Xiaoyi for Xiaohao, right? With the same hairstyle, similar goggles and attire, and the same cheerful personality, who would believe that he is not Xiaohao's son!

Even Xiaoyi's car is called "Charge"

On the other hand, Xiaolie, who is loved by female audiences, is getting more and more handsome, but his personal problems seem to have never been mentioned? Xiaolie should be nearly 30 years old now, and as a scientific researcher, why is he not popular with the opposite sex?

Xiao Lie has become more mature after growing up

Complaint point 3: Unscientific mini car race, Newton would cry to death if he saw it

There are already many phenomena that are not in line with common sense in the original story of "Beyblade", such as the "charge tornado", the driver and the car running at the same speed, a variety of high-tech parts, etc. For the needs of the plot, some exaggeration is indispensable. I was very satisfied when I read it and didn't think too much about it. I didn't expect that in the new comics, there are more and more unscientific situations, and the degree of exaggeration is beyond the imagination of normal people. I have to admire Koshida's brain circuit...

The modified car can automatically turn in the air

Even the racing car driven by Xiao Hao can create special effects

Take the above-mentioned race between the Xingma brothers and the mini-racing car destroyer as an example. In this story, there is a biker who specializes in destroying mini-racing cars for fun. He challenges Xiaohao and Xiaolie. In order to protect the dignity of the mini-racing drivers, the Xingma brothers decide to fight. Everything seems normal here, but the next race location proposed by the biker suddenly makes people unable to complain -

Want to play mini racing on the road?!

They actually drove against the flow on a busy road, treating it as a racetrack! Fortunately, the police in "Beyblade" didn't have much presence, otherwise...

Okita Kai, Hijikata Rei and Kondo Gen were all tied to crosses. Is this considered illegal detention?

Despite this, the race still started, and the three minors just shuttled through the traffic, leaving the passing drivers confused. Along the way, the three ran behind the car, evading roadblocks flexibly, and jumping to the side road when they encountered a broken road. Even so, they still had the energy to keep a constant speed with the car. Can you believe that this is something only teenagers can do?

Complaint point 4: Voice-controlled racing cars are becoming more and more magical, not only obedient but also "crying"

"Voice-controlled racing" is not uncommon in "Beyblade". From the beginning, the Star and Horse brothers could change the route of the racing car according to their wishes just by shouting, and then the application of GP chips in the World Cup made the car become a part of the body, running wherever you point it. In the new comic, Koshida also brought the essence of "voice control" to the extreme, not only making the racing car move according to the sound, but also giving it the emotion of "crying"...

In the blazing flames, Xiaolie's car is still "alive"

This example also comes from the race with the mini racing car destroyer. In the second half of the race, the three came to the final race venue - the abandoned factory, and agreed that the first one to run out of the exit would be the winner. Along the way, the cars of the Xingma brothers were destroyed one after another by the destroyer, and even the destroyer's own car was scarred. At this time, something unexpected happened: the destroyer's car suddenly stopped without listening to the command, and an unknown liquid flowed out of the front of the car...

The Mini Racer is crying? What is that unknown liquid?

Maybe it was just a lubricant or oil leak, but the saboteur thought it was the car "crying". The infected saboteur was thus cleansed and finished the race with the Xingma brothers. As for the "crying" car, it seemed to be irrelevant.

The car is making trouble, probably because it is a tsundere

Complaint Point 5: It only takes a moment to transform a mini racing car, and then put on a bear skin and fight for another 800 years

It stands to reason that it takes at least some time to modify and replace parts for a mini racing car. In the original story of "Beyblade", it took Eagle Yulong several days to get the ZMC body material from Teacher Tiexin, and Dr. Tsuchiya had to go through many tests to develop a new car. In the World Cup plot, a universal repair box was specially designed to maintain the car during the competition. However, in the new comics, the drivers' modification skills have entered the realm of "God". It only takes a moment to repair and adjust the car. Even in the short moment when the driver fell from a height, he can repair two cars...

A tech geek assembles a new car on site

Before the race with the Mini Racing Destroyer, the Destroyer combined the Spider King, the Big Mac and the Devil Commander into a new car in just a few seconds; during the race with the Star Horse brothers, the Destroyer fell from the broken road and even repaired his own car during the fall, and by the way, transformed Xiao Lie's car into "runaway mode"...

The new car that combines the Spider King, the Big Mac and the Devil Commander looks pretty good?

The Destroyer can also repair the car when it falls from a height, which is the conscience of the mini racing (repair) world.

Being able to assemble a car is nothing, being able to perfectly restore the assembled car is a genius

Similarly, in the fifth episode, Xiao Hao and Eagle Feather Dragon had a duel in the jungle, and a bear appeared during the game! Eagle Feather Dragon was very unhappy about the sudden situation, and actually fought with the bear, and obtained the prop "bear skin", and finally scared the bear away with a murderous look. I really don't know if Eagle Feather Dragon is a human...

Eagle Feather Dragon: I'm going to beat ten of them!

After being pulled away by the Star Horse brothers, Eagle Feather Dragon also used his super-fast modification technology, using bear skin to turn the triangle arrow into "wild mode", which improved the performance by more than one level, and even could cut tree trunks (isn't he really the Spider King?). In this way, he won the game at the last minute, and of course the process is beyond criticism.

The triangular arrows covered in bear skins are very wild

The bearskin triangle arrow cut through the tree trunk, but how did it do that?

Overall, the new comic of "Beyblade" has successfully earned many people's memories. The grown-up Xiaohao, Xiaolie, Xiaochun, Yingyulong and Jiromaru give people a refreshing feeling. I wonder what other characters will look like when they grow up? What's more surprising is that in the second episode, the familiar characters of the World Cup contestants - Brett, Joe, Carlo, Pigo, etc. all appear as passers-by. It seems that they have not been forgotten...

The World Cup participants became passers-by, but at least they showed their faces

As for the "Xiaoyi" who has been making Xiaohao and Xiaolie recall the past, his existence should be more than that, right? Who is the mysterious "racing queen" who has some kind of fate with Xiaohao? Although these foreshadowings are very interesting to readers, from the current point of view, Koshida should still only want to describe the memories of the Xingma brothers. I wonder when the main storyline will officially enter (if at all)?
