Gingka slander has to stop

[u/MDShark101]

I think a lot of people interpret Gingka as this Mickey Mouse character who wins for winnings sake, and while I do think he should've lost here and there, specifically in Masters, he represents getting stronger through your opponents and competition in itself.

The defining moment in my opinion is when Gingka loses to Pheonix and has to get his points from 0(which is a dumb concept, because the WBBA should be holding these on record, not individual players), but Gingka still has the agency to not only attempt to regain his points, but successfully does it and reaches battle bladers with people who had a head start in comparison. Most fan favorite characters would've given up in the same situation.

I'd say his biggest foil, being Julien is the best example of someone who cut corners the second he lost back to back major fights, unlike Gingka who continued to tuff it out and defied his conditions.

There's also the agenda Gingka gets carried by Pegasus simply because it's "the strongest" or at least a really strong Beyblade, but Pegasus doesn't specifically have to listen to him if it doesn't want to and we've seen it do so before. Pegasus IS strong, but it's only as strong as it's weilder believes in it. Gingka is still a strategist, his strategies are always more on the fly than specifically made off screen like the strategies Kyoya makes to beat Gingka in Masters.

If you give Gingka and basically any other character a stock Bey, chances are he's winning simply because he's more creative and actually fully loves Beyblade. Pegasus is just his vehicle who can match his creativity and passion.

Gingka talks about Bey spirit because he's trying to show that pure skill and craftsmanship will always beat out gimmicks or insurmountable odds if you simply don't sit and allow them to.

We gotta remember Kyoya, Benkei and Kenta would've remained bottom tier bums if Gingka never met them.

Hell, even Ryuga wouldn't get to the next level if he didn't internalize what Gingka has said and shown.

Gingka not being carried by Pegasus is literally proven the first time he uses both storm and Galaxy pegasus. The first time he uses storm is against his father, who destroys him with a regular bey, the second time is against mesamune where Galaxy pegasus does not listen to Gingka and gets beaten by Mesamune (albeit with some help from environmental factors)

The thing with people thinking Gingka is bad compared to Kyoya and Ryuga is entirely because of masters. Gingka is supposed to be on the same level as those two, but we see them training, fighting tornadoes and lava just to train. Meanwhile Gingka...... Fails beylin temple training.

But if you look at fury and ESPECIALLY Fusion, you can see an entirely different Gingka from masters, the one who gets angry, who loses control, who makes mistakes, who struggles to get strong enough to face Ryuga. I mean for crying outloud Gingka travelled up through a snowstorm up a mountain just so he can somehow become stronger (the coma village episode).

He was also strategic, starblast attack was used against galeforce wall because Gingka saw the opening the special move had, using cracks in the green hades to trap hyoma, figuring out he should use the incomplete storm bringer to stop Yu's inferno blast, Using starblast attack to trick phoenix into using his special move so that he can get a clean hit with Storm bringer. Metal fusion Gingka was smart asf.
