???? HOW HAVE I NOT PLAGUED THE REBLOGS OF THIS POST YET

Vice, I’m so happy that I’m Discord-married to someone with such impeccable character analysis skills. I loved everything about this post, but especially the point where you said he would be a loner over a bully. I think the most frequent mischaracterization of Lui is that he’s miserable to others for the sake of it and is the stereotypical loud and annoying bad guy until he’s neutralized, but you word the opposite so well.

Lui is very matter-of-fact, perceptive, and, while it may sound insane, reasonable (the obvious objections to this are to him scarring Shu and his tantrum over not getting a Burst finish during episode 49 of season one, but the first was very likely a spur-of-the-moment response and the second is mentioned to be out of character by the people around him). His confident front is in his best interest, but like you said, he shows more introverted traits underneath.

I also like how you said that he’s only ever rude when he feels the need to be, which can be easy to forget. I think people forget that Lui has the most impactful appearances when Valt is the protagonist, and Valt is irritating (/pos) enough that Lui is rude to him basically all the time.

YES GOU MENTIONED IN A LUI ANALYSIS!!! Gou is Lui’s closest friend and you cannot change my mind. Their interactions are what prove that Lui isn’t heartless, just struggling with empathy, and he can be compassionate and respect others.

DRAGONFRUIT CRUMBS YAYA I always thought it was so cute that Lui and Free are playful with each other after Evolution in a way that signifies that they see each other more as equals now. Even outside of a romantic sense, they are definitely the kind of besties who can spend an entire day together without saying a word and still have an amazing time. TEN OUT OF TEN ANALYSIS MADE MY DAY

Lui character analysis/rant

Before I start my character analysis on Lui, can I just say the number of content my guy has is diabolical. He is literally part of the main four, what do you mean he’s like a rare pokemon where most of their content appeared years ago??? Maybe I still don’t know how to use filters (and please tell me otherwise because he’s such a cool character my god), but it’s just so disappointing.

Back on track, but I believe Lui is by far one of the most observant people in the series. He can understand a situation with a single glance and identify the improvements a blader requires off the bat. He saw Valt once and already knows the potential Valkyrie has, met Red Eye once and connected the dots that he’s Shu, and was the only person to realise Shu’s true goal when he joined forces with Lean by his own. (I know Valt knew, but it was implied that Shu informed him earlier of his plan. Did Valt agree with it? Hell no, but he trusted Shu to not go evil again). Moreover, all of his ‘critiques’ towards people are all factual. They’re just incredibly said out wrongly. While this could just be Lui’s natural behaviour, I think it has something to do with his childhood.

I mean, it’s kinda obvious how he has neglectful parents, considering they allowed a six year old to travel around the world. But on a deeper note, I feel like his character was built on harsh criticism. It would explain how his comments came off as natural, as if it were in his nature to point out someone’s faults than their skills. Moreover, it explains how he never cared when people insults him, since it would be so normalised to encounter. An example would be Gou stopping his teammates from cheering him on in the finals, claiming it would only distract Lui. Just imagine having faced so much disproval in your life that someone’s cheers would act more of a distraction than encouragement. He might even believe that they were nothing more than empty words. I know it’s a minor comment, but it makes Lui’s situation much more grimmer when taken into consideration.

Another analyst is how he isn’t the typical ‘genius’ people claim him as. That is the natural genius, like Free. Instead he trains as hard, or even more harder than Shu throughout the show. Every time we see Lui outside of a battle, it’s always when he’s training, and when he’s not, he would only stay for a few seconds to amuse his interest before returning to his training routine. The only difference between Shu and Lui is experience, literally. Unlike Shu, he knows his body’s limits, and he knows that treating your body poorly would be detrimental to your performance. Using his knowledge over himself, he made an entire training session that aligns perfectly for him. According to the manga - or maybe I’m delusional and imagined it - Lui lacks muscle or the strength most bladers have. So what does he do? Makes a machine focusing on his launching form, training his arm and leg muscles. Which would explain why he has more defined legs and arms than everyone. Moreover, according to the manga, he had to study martial arts to gather enough power despite that lack of strength.

Even then, when Shu does take breaks, he doesn’t seem entirely uncomfortable. At most times, he seems relaxed and generally happy spending time with the people he loves. While he does stress on growing stronger, back then in Burst, he doesn’t make a beeline to train the moment he feels like he isn’t included. It only worsens when he gets manipulated and mentally tormented by Ashtem. On the other hand, Lui looks immensely uncomfortable, often shielded with boredom. He wants to train, and feels like he is getting worse if he doesn’t train every damn second. Hell, he would actively leave a conversation if his use was finished or useless. His team against a weaker opponent? No point in attending when he could train instead. Lost a match? Laughs then walks off. Lost a tournament? Immediately walks back to train. At least Shu is trying to hide it, Lui is a walking workaholic. Hell, he tells Hyuga he trains 24/7 as if it were a normal thing or something praise worthy. Like no that isn’t impressive, that’s depressing.

I would like to point out that this guy has trained for nearly five years and was still way below Free’s level. Sure he was ranked second in the world, but it was so clear that Free saw him as a playmate than anything threatening. Which was why it shocked Free so much when Lui won. Because up until that point, it was hinted that Lui barely won through anything that wasn’t a ring or spin finish. Also to put it into retrospection, Valt trained for one year - excluding the year he bought Valkyrie since he was basically having her as a good luck charm than really trying - and took the belt one try. Shu trained for two years and while thanks to the Requiem Project that exceeded his strength, bet Lui and came close to first against Valt, who was on par on Free’s strength.

This guy is a lot of things, but a natural genius ain’t one of them. The only reason why he was able to win and achieve so much was because of his observation skills and intelligence. Without that, he would be a typical side antagonist against Valt. However, I’m not saying he isn’t talented. I’d say he has ~40% of natural ability and ~60% of hard work. Looking back, he resembles Fubuki more than Suoh. Crazy enough.

Also some side note, since I love his guy (as if that weren’t obvious), this guy is a walking introvert. I don’t understand why people write him out as this angry, always violent guy in some fanfics. Like yeah he is rude, but only when you annoy him. Aside from that, he wouldn’t even bother talking to anyone. He was a loner in school, not a bully. Another thing, it really shows his character development throughout the show as he starts to show more compassion towards people. And before anyone say it- HE WAS ALWAYS COMPASSIONATE. Just towards the people he cares about.

I know very crazy, but HEAR ME OUT.

The only people he cared and respected in Burst were Xhaka, Zac, Gou, and Longinus. However in a more emotional dynamic, Gou and Longinus takes first easy. (The list extends more but for now we’re focusing on pre-timeskip) When he came to Zac’s birthday party, he hated it, but he stayed because Gou asked him to. He hated going to his teammate’s matches because he saw it as a waste of time, but since Gou asked in a serious tone, he obliged. Hell, before he could leave, when Gou told him to stay, he gave in. When Longinus told him to battle Valt, he might’ve groaned a bit but he listened. Same with Aiga and his gang. When Longinus got shattered, bro stared at him like the world fell apart. LIKE HAVE YOU SEEN THE DISTRAUGHT FACE HE MADE STARING AT HIS PARTNER??? He was shaking, genuinely shaking. Eyes darting around at the pieces of Longinus. Like that was more than Valt and Valkyrie and that’s saying something. I kid you not, he should’ve shed tears if Longinus didn’t use the last of his strength to comfort him with a dim glow. I genuinely think that was the first and last time he has ever shown fear towards anything, and the fact it wasn’t some typical overpowered kid with an immense aura to do that, but the wellbeing of his partner shows so much of the person he tries to hide.

Moreover, for Free - YES HE ALSO CARES FOR FREE I SWEAR ON MY LIFE. Lui wasn’t an idiot and knew that Free saw him as a playmate and nothing more, then. I can imagine him hating tardiness, especially when it comes to training. Also considering that Free was the world champion, he would hate to have him be late to their training matches. However, he allows it because despite everything, he has slowly grown to care for him. This is especially shown where Lui showed off his natural personality around him - reserved and dismissive - and even gestured a few genuine smiles towards him.

I could rant off about their growth together but this post is already getting long as it is. If anyone read the entire thing, boy I love you.

everything about this is so accurate especially the coleydoesthings one

Every fandom has

epic analysis posts

hmm yesss this character is now a [insert animal here that the entire fandom manages to agree on]

all manner of aus. if its a fandom that knows what its doing, one of those is the "geese chase you to your soulmate" au

found family dynamics

watching ColeyDoesThings intensly Is she gonna talk about my fandom????

No. No, you do not need to worry. The geese don't bite people

Fandom elders

that one fic that traumatized everyone

usually written by said fandom elder

fandom newbie who is very suprised when people like their incredibly dark and angsty fic they thought was too wretched to ever see the light of day

Why are you screaming, the geese are perfectly nice

And this is my OC....(epic oc's)

Why is this a fanfic and not just an original book?

Pokemon au

If you don't shut up about those geese I'm gonna lock you in a room with them till you have befriended all the geese

FANART. LOTS AND LOTS OF FANART

The Tumblr fandom, the YouTube fandom, the tiktok fandom, and the Instagram fandom are four separate fandoms with different people on loan to different parts at various times

Oh look at that, the geese have decided to invite the monster goose to the party

Someone made a discord server, time to brush up on internet safety rules that gen alpha never got taught it school uh-oh (please be safe guys, I beg of you keep your ages vague and your location ambiguous and don't give people your real name)

Various characters in the fandom get their own mini fandoms/cults (looking at you Fubuki from beyblade burst) :3

Huh well that soulmate au ended badly (the bloody corpse of your favorite character dissolves into gold dust, setting their spirit free for all eternity)
