Synopsis:

A year has passed since humanity’s encounter with the enigmatic Innovators, but peace remains fragile. The emergence of the Detectors introduces a fresh threat – a terrorist group leveraging advanced LBX technology for destructive purposes. Ban, grappling with the aftermath of past conflicts, finds himself once again compelled to act. He reunites with familiar allies and forges new bonds as they strive to understand and counter the Detectors' escalating attacks. The series explores themes of responsibility in a world grappling with technological advancement, and the complexities of fighting for a future uncertainly shaped by powerful innovations. The narrative balances action sequences centered around LBX combat with character-driven moments exploring the emotional toll of ongoing conflict and the importance of collaboration.

    This is the continuation of LBX games. But here two main protaganists like hiro and ran were introduced to be the partners of yamano ban in fighting the criminal organizations like detectors and omega dain. Sound : Its the only good thing of this series. Characters: Too many characters are introduced in the series which are not used properely. For instance, Lex's siste and Asuka are not used properly. Most irritating ones are: ban's father's partiality in giving super LBX exclusively to Ban. In one of the episodes, Ban's father is shown to feel bad that his son gives away the super LBX he madeexclusively for ban to hiro. Immediately he sits all night and makes odin Rx for him. Another disappointing one is that KAIDOU JIN, who is KNOWN to get victory in seconds is shown as mere supporting actors, his character is shown to be down rated as others like kirito, asuka have been given more importance.nnMain features of the series is that LBX fight for saving the entire world from corrupt world domination and Artificial Intelligence.nnFrom Episode 46 onward i find it little interesting.

    a step up and a step down from the previous series characters are way less annoying as they are more grown up but at the same time they try to involve to many that some of the coolest characters are reduced to simply supporting roles and lose their identity and the RULE OF COOL really takes over which made me sad sure its cool to have super fancy lasers and such but part of what i enjoyed about this series originally little toy robots with their own weaknesses and strengths but not everything is crazy super powered thing that can fly and blow up REAL WALLS in asingle shotnand an odd point i had in the original series was when some of these LBX broke into the main characters house in like the first episode i was like yo why not just go pick up these toys that broke into your house and stomp on them or literally break their joints i was just like it's a kids show of course they are not gonna try something outside the box but I feel it got worse in this one aswell as there is a thing call a d-egg which from what I get the impression of its a hologram arena thing? that uses the fortified cardboard technology whatever it doesn't really explain it very well let alone my MAIN GRIPE how when people use it everyone is just like AHH well I guess we have to fight now and not just walk away through the hologram that surrounds usnndon't get me wrong I don't hate the series I really like itnbut it could have been better with less rule of cool and a bit more explaining the in universe technoverall weakest link in the Danball series but still worth watching if you enjoyed the first one
