Ep 41. Nepstrius Trap

After the intense battle against Xander and his Xcalius, the Beigoma Academy Beyclub members are back to their routine practices. Valt is seen striving hard to achieve his goal of becoming the best Beyblader in the world. Meanwhile, Shu is seen brooding over the fact that Valt's Beyblade, the Victory Valkyrie, has defeated his Spriggan Requiem for the first time. He is determined to create a new move to counter Valt's tactics.

While the club members are practicing, a mysterious girl appears before them. Her name is Cuza and she claims to be a big fan of Valt. Interestingly, she carries a Beyblade with her, named Nepstrius. She challenges Valt for a battle, which Valt gladly accepts. During the match, Valt is astonished to see Nepstrius' unique ability to move in unexpected ways, which makes it difficult for Victory Valkyrie to gain the upper hand. Valt is ultimately defeated by Nepstrius.

As Valt and the others wonder about the mystery behind Nepstrius' unusual movements, Cuza reveals that Nepstrius has a special ability- the "Nepstrius Trap." With this move, Nepstrius can catch the opponent's Beyblade in a whirlpool-like motion, ultimately causing it to lose balance and spin power. The move has been named after Nepstrius' unique bey spirit, which is a water spirit.

With the help of Daigo, Aoi, and Kensuke, Valt sets out to develop a strategy to counter Nepstrius' ability. Shu is seen observing the match from afar, taking notes on Nepstrius' and Cuza's tactics.

The rematch between Valt and Cuza is scheduled in an aquarium, which Cuza believes will give Nepstrius an edge due to its water spirit. Valt, along with his friends, comes up with a strategy to overcome Nepstrius' unique ability. However, Cuza proves to be a fierce opponent, as Nepstrius executes the Nepstrius Trap multiple times, making it difficult for Victory Valkyrie to gain any momentum.

Shu, who is still observing the match, detects a pattern in the Nepstrius Trap and realizes that Cuza and Nepstrius are overusing the move, which is causing the Beyblade to lose balance and power ultimately leading to its defeat. In a surprising turn of events, Shu arrives on the scene and announces he is willing to take on Cuza and Nepstrius himself.

The battle between Shu and Cuza is intense, but Shu appears to be studying Nepstrius and Cuza's tactics and applying countermeasures. Shu ultimately unveils his ultimate move, "Zephyr Lips," which causes a powerful gust of wind that disorients Nepstrius, preventing it from executing the Nepstrius Trap.

The match ends with Shu and his Spriggan Requiem emerging victorious. Cuza, impressed by Shu's skills, admits that she wants to learn from him. Shu agrees to teach her, stating that the game of Beyblade is all about learning and improving.

Overall, episode 41 of Beyblade Burst is a thrilling and action-packed episode that showcases the importance of strategy and technique in Beyblade battles. The episode not only introduces a new character and Beyblade but also showcases the virtues of humility, dedication, and the pursuit of knowledge.
