Delta was a character in season 4 of beyblade burst. He was one of the risen 3 and dante's rival, and pretty much the main antagonist until Arthur came along. He was very smart and powerful in his battles. He defeats Dante several times and even when Dante switches modes, he still isn't able to defeat him. Arman then challenged Delta to a battle and he declined. Later in the season, in the battle island challenge he faces Blindt, (a risen 3 member.) He wins the first round with a survivor finish. He loses the second round to a ring out finish so then switches to left spin (erase diabolos). In the third round at the end of the match he attacks and sends blindts bey out of the stadium overwhelming it and bursting, getting past the burst lock defense system. Then, onto his battle with Pheng, (another risen 3 member) Pheng's bey, pegasus, had a gimmick where everytime you hit the bey, you hit its wings, and the teeth of the bey retract, making it impossible to burst. Pheng keeps using this move throughout the entire battle. Delta is able to outsmart Pheng by giving it a strong enough attack with diabolos and the clone to launch Pegasus out of the stadium and bursting it. In his battle with Fumiya, Fumiya does a weak launch to try and go for a slow motion burst. Delta had right spin diabolos in this battle, so he was at the disadvantage. But Delta is able to completely outsmart Fumiya and his strategy. He does this by using dual phantom, and having only his clone give Wizard Fafnir speed, and not diabolos itself. After Fafnir has enough speed, Delta now attacks it with diabolos and the clone and is able to give it a strong attack (clone impact) to cause fafnir to burst. And this doesn't cause Diabolos to burst because Fafnir already gained speed from the clone. After this, fafnir bursts and Delta humiliates Fumiya. He completely outplays and outsmarts Fumiya and the 2 members of the Risen 3. He is also shown to be getting stronger in these battles. Then after the battle island challenge, he finally faces the current world champion, Aiger. Everyone in the stadium is watching with all the current characters in the season, and this is what the whole battle island challenge had led up to. Blindt saw potential in Delta and is hoping he wins. And keep in mind (in the battle, this is Aiger using union sword on achilles, which makes it more powerful) The first round Aiger is shown to be struggling. Delta goes in with shining launch, Delta takes a direct hit from unison breaker (with the union sword btw) and diabolos stills stays in the stadium. He then pressures Aiger with dual phantom and Aiger goes full power and knocks diabolos's clone out of the stadium. The round ends in a tie, even with Aiger going full power, and diabolos is slightly the last one spinning. And keep in mind, this is Aiger 2 years after he became champion in turbo, with more training, and is more powerful. It even shows blindt watching from his setting, thinking Delta will win, and Blindt saw his potential and darkness from when he battled him. The 2nd round starts and everyone is on the edge of their seats. Delta switches to erase diabolos, his better, preferred version. The round is unfortunately interrupted, but if it wasn't, I believe Delta would've beaten Aiger and become world champion. Later on in the season, Delta is the first person to figure out Arthur's weakness with the unburstable gimmick, but unfortunately loses due to Arthur being the current antagonist, (plot armor in my opinion) Later on though, Delta defeats Arthur and so does Dante, and even Arman. So at that point Arthur isn't even a respected antagonist anymore. Towards the end of the season Delta and Dante have a final rematch and Delta wins, which means he never lost to the protagonist, so really the only person he lost to in this season was Arthur, who he eventually beat after, and so did everyone else lol. So after a bunch of other people beating Arthur, Arthur wasn't even seen as strong. So overall, I think Delta was one of the smartest and most powerful bladers in the show and had great potential, and thought he would've been great as the main antagonist, which in my opinion is what I think should've happened. I mean, the show had been showing him as extremely powerful and building him up as the main antagonist, so I don't get why they didn't do it. And who knows how powerful he could've become if he became the main antagonist? In my opinion he was the true antagonist of this season. After reading this, how powerful or good or smart do you think Delta was?

In this scene I kinda felt bad for him cause he came so close to winning. Do you think having Aiger win was the right decision or do you think Dante should've won?

My main problem with Burst is how they blatantly nerf every single legend in the show so that the new characters like protagonists/antagonists can win and be shown as strong. Some legends were even made to look like a joke, lose miserably, dumb, and ruin their character. And another thing is that in later seasons the legends don't actually do much or have much relevance, example: like in season 6/DB Free, Shu and Lui came back but did nothing but lose to Bel. And it wouldn't be as bad if they only did this to a few legends but they did it to pretty much every legend. And I'm not saying every legend can stay invincible throughout the whole series but they pretty much did it to every single legend. I can't be the only one feeling like this right?
