Beyblade X Episode 121: Episode 121

The episode opens with a simple title card, declaring "The Dragon's Whereabouts." It is a stark opening, hinting at a central mystery or a path yet to be discovered. The words echo, lingering in the silence before the story proper begins. This directness sets a serious tone for the revelations to come.

Cross presents his vision for the new X Tower to Chrom, a tempting offer to reign as co-champion. Chrom rejects this outright, his defiance clear in his clenched fist and sharp words, "I don't want you to interfere with me and X." Cross responds with condescension, seeing Chrom's refusal as a lesson needing to be taught.

Bird arrives, calling out to Chrom, surprised by Cross's presence. Cross recognizes Bird, dismissing him with thinly veiled contempt, mentioning Ginro of Ura Pro. Bird's anger flares, and he challenges Cross directly, asserting his own professional standing and loyalty to Chrom.

The battle between Bird and Cross begins, a swift and brutal affair. Cross's Beyblade, Bahamut Blitz, moves with an "unprecedented low height," a detail Cross reveals with a smug satisfaction. Bird attempts his "Extreme Dash" and "Dragonic Break" but is quickly overwhelmed. Cross's power is absolute, and Bird's Beyblade is decisively defeated.

Bird kneels, defeated, while Cross reveals the secrets of Bahamut Blitz, its "four-layer structure" and "ultimate destructive power." He dismisses Bird's shock, calling him "just a child." Cross then unveils his wearable AI shooter, a device that "reinforces a blader's shoot," boasting of its ability to "break the limit." He declares Beyblade "business," a cold reality where "I am strong, you are weak."

Cross offers Bird a place in his new order, a future with "Cross Zero," even invoking Chrom's name as an incentive. But Bird, though defeated and humiliated, remains firm. He declares his intention to stop Cross, asserting that "Beyblade isn't business" and that his Beyblade represents a "bond," a kizuna. He tearfully refuses to let Cross interfere with Chrom's path.

Cross attempts to physically coerce Chrom, trying to pull him away, but Chrom resists, his eyes glowing with a quiet resolve. He declares it a "battle" and accepts Cross's challenge. Cross, now in a dramatic battle suit and with his AI shooter engaged, launches into an aggressive assault. Chrom, however, holds firm, his own energy building.

Cross unleashes the full might of Bahamut Blitz, taunting Chrom with "despair" and promises of a shared future in Cross Zero. But Chrom's will is unyielding. His eyes open, glowing with blue energy, and his Beyblade pushes back with immense force. Cross's AI shooter sparks, then cracks, before his Beyblade is utterly destroyed, shattering into pieces.

Chrom stands triumphant, his dragon avatar glowing, a power beyond human. He then walks away, leaving Bird alone with the defeated Cross. Bird calls out to Chrom, but he does not stop. Bird collapses, utterly heartbroken, his Beyblade falling from his hand. He cries, confessing his weakness and inability to stop Chrom, but then a spark ignites. He picks up his Beyblade, his tears turning to resolve, vowing to "definitely become stronger."
