The story The Crimsion Bond by the author Trailblazer is a insert reader with the name "y/n (your name, so mine will be Phi) Akabane". If you notice the last name of "y/" to be "Akabane" and is thinking that this insert reader takes place in beyblade burst, then you are correct 🎊. Now let go in deeper few of the plot.
The story takes place in Beyblade Burst Turbo Episode one that follows the story of two twin siblings "Y/N" and "Aiger Akabane". This book follows Aiger and his new siblings through the whole season of Turbo. If you may not know Turbo my favorite season of beyblade burst so this book was truly a blessing, but even though the new character "Y/n" make some points in the season better and other points worst. Let start from the beginning and work ourselves to the finaly. The book starts off similar to the canonise season, with a dream of the two siblings experiencing beyblading and Valktrek. This is very important scene just because the owner of the Valktrek is Valt Aoi, but this never happens so this important foreshadowing scene is wasted.We will discussed about this later lets move further into the story. The book moves on and similar events happen again when Valt Aoi looses his bey Valktrek because it rolls down a hill/mountain. This is when the twin siblings catch Valt and Valktrek one sibling catchs the other. This shows a brief appearance how together and how they interact with eachother. When Valt has his bey back he iroincly call Aiger a "Monkey" where Y/n pats Aiger hair, which irrates Aiger. This shows the sibling bond is strong, and their basically like best friends teasing one another. This is futher expand when Valt, Aiger, Y/n compete in a race showing that the twins are competitive and starting the friendship with Valt. Also I want to point out that both siblings are inspired to create both of their beys. Aiger created Achilles which was hero in Greek Mythology and their is also a statue outside on their property. Aiger determine to be as strong as Achilles and to weild both Achilles Sword and Shield and for Y/n it is to be as strong as Dragon (which has no name in Mythology but the statue outside is based off the Chinese Dragon) is to be as graceful and ferocious as Dragon. The two siblings battle Valt who is the world champion at the time, but they both fail miserably. At the end of this chapter the siblings say "we will be the strongest team in the world together". This is also shows that the twins like to do things togethers and like to stick up for eachother. In the next episode Y/n and Aiger travel to Beygoma Academy to face Fubuki Sumie. After the twina beat 100 bladers in multiple battles Fubuki finally arrived. Fubuki and Y/n face off and Y/n looses to a burst finish. Aiger gets his next opponent Cap' n which the battles draws to be a tie. Wiyh this basic premise you get a better idea on what is going on in the book and let do the good. Further into the story Y/n keeps loosing his battles and Aiger beats eveyone who Y/n looses to. This begins to make Y/n distant and Jealous and Aiger only cares about him getting stronger. This is a very clever move because the siblings have such a nice bond and they are ruining it. When the twins encounter Phi who manipulates Aiger who goes down the path of corrupted resonance and with little help from Phi. Y/n goes down the path to but with more hatred and jealously for Aiger. This actually symphozies Y/n wanting him to win so the jealousy will end, but you also want Aiger to succeed even though how much trouble he has put his twin through. When the sad moment comes the twins have to battle eachother in a tournament. You want both of the twins to win but sadly their can only be one victer. When one of the twins looses which is Y/n he goes further more into the dark path. Later when Aiger his battling Valt for his Championship belt Valktrek is broken and this creates conflict. Y/n has this little moment where he like smug that Valktrek is broken by Achilles but he quickly snaps out of it. Showing hope for the dragon weilder blader. He confronted his brother and let say it didn't end well for Aiger. Y/n goes into like this changing form when his arua turns black symbolizing Y/n hatred. When Aiger challenged by Hyde Y/n is paired up with Aiger which doesn't make sense at all because he isn't no high ranking blader but whatever. Y/n and Aiger can no longer work together through this battle they don't have each other's backs. This is depressing because it shows how far they have fallen. Hyde ultimately wins by score of 4-0, in my personal opinion if both of the twins were working together then they would have standed a better chance. They continue to go down this corrupted dark path and eventually Y/n breaks the bey Hazard Kerberus. Making it seem that neither of the siblings have gone to far for them to be saved. When Aiger/ Y/n continue through the tower they go deeper into the corrupted resonance. Feeling the pain of their beys, when Achilles lands on the ground Aiger falls. When Dragon bursts Y/n screams like someone murdering them. Until he battles Hyde ans sadely his bey his broken, next is Aiger who his bey broken by Phi. The two siblings grief their fallen beys together and notice their faults bringing the twin closer then have been in awhile.
My mixed feelings: The main mixed oppurnity, but still had its very good moments was the relationship between Fubuki and Y/n. I just want to say Fubuki hated like everyone at the beginning, and Y/n like over here trying to keep balance between Fubuki, Cap'n and Aiger. Those were some good moments in the beginning of the book. Y/n and Suoh were enemies well who wasn't with Suoh when he first had Salamander, but that not the point here. In my opinion Suoh is the reason that made me interested in the friendship with Fubuki and Y/n. Fubuki just lost to Suoh in the semifinals and in the quarter finale Y/n lost to Suoh. See the pattern here? Fubuki going to New York to get stronger because he lost to Suoh. Y/n comes to Fubuki to ask if he could go with him because he has similar cause. Both going to New York they both bonded in friend type of way. The more they train the more they became Friends. Even when Y/n resonance was corrupted it was quite clear that Fubuki was more concerned for Y/n then Aiger.
The grey area: I just want to say although these were like bad decisions that ruined the book for me it really not that. These are mistakes that should have been used better in my eyes. First is the final battle with Aiger and Y/n versus Phi. The main problem with this battle is their like no reason why Y/n should be their. Why does Y/n want to battle Phi so much, Phi did not destroy Dragon that was Hyde. Aiger has the determination to beat Phi, because that the person who destroyed Achilles. Y/n second solo battle shoud'eve been a more bigger battle. That was Y/n standing point that was when Y/n was suppose to show how far he come since his bey been destroyed even though it been like couple of chapters. Their was no really good moment to do this arc with Y/n after Dragon was destroyed because the timeline just not doing good for him. I will perfer Y/n bigger battle with Hyde then him with Aiger when he battles Phi when he absolutely does nothing. Also when Aiger battles Y/n (he has the right for some reason even though he did nothing) at the end of the book after just defeating Valt to keep his champion belt. This is really unessccary, even though the author said it up to us who wins. This catches up to us in the future, because Aiger still the world champion because well of the timeline. Even if he lost then how did he get the belt back in Rise. Also this moves furherone because Y/n goes does the dark path because of his jealously of Aiger. So why are you redoing the thing that turned one of the main characters evil/corrupted. I don't like repeat of events towards characters. Y/n probably didn't get corrupted again but that still unfair and kinda brings him from A+ character to a B character.
Verdict
Score: 8.5/10
Recommendation or not: I totally recommend this story the author did so many wonderful things with the book.
