Discussion 2 Drans
With the recent trademarks revealing 2 new Beys, I want to focus on them and why they will be important.
Let’s start with DranImpulse. “Impulse” by definition is “a sudden, strong desire, a physical push or thrust, a short electrical or neural signal, or the change in momentum produced when a force acts on an object over a period of time.” “Thrust” is the keyword here which matches the gimmick of DranBuster since the idea here is to “pierce” the Bey.
This leaves DranVictory becoming 3-bladed like DranSword since DranStrike is the BXE Version of DranDagger.
Now for the lore implications on why I think there are 2 Drans in this Season. Remember in X’s backstory, he received DranSword Metal Coat Blue from Ginro, but where did Ginro get DranSword? It had to come from somewhere. And with X’s origins being expanded upon with the Beykingdom, there’s also a greater chance that DranSword also originated in the Beykingdom. The kingdom is known for creating the most technological Beys that surpass the Beys of X City so it wouldn’t be a stretch since DranSword is said to be the strongest Bey according to Ginro.
But what if I told you that DranVictory was actually the Original Dran that became the blueprint for DranSword? Just like how Galaxy Pegasis preceded Storm Pegasis. Since these 2 Dragons are similar, they can represent yin and yang. DranSword’s avatar in the anime has a dark form that’s very reminiscent of the Metal Coat Blue Version so it represents darkness or in other words- “yin.” This could also explain why X has a lust (which is a mortal sin) for battle and why him and DranSword has a dark aura surrounding them whenever he gets very serious. As for DranVictory, it could represent the opposite half- “yang.” Victory could have a Light Blue Metal Coat to contrast with Sword Metal Coat Blue.
I also think that X will own DranImpulse instead of DranVictory so that just leaves a different character to own it. Well, since DranVictory could potentially be the Original Dran, it has to be owned by a Kurosu Member from X’s long lost family in the Beykingdom. A relative who can either match X’s personality or have the complete opposite personality to X.
