I know this was said in October, but Tyson was under a lot of pressure. The status quo was horrible for him. He didn't have his previous team buddies to rely on, he instead had a new team and was feeling the pressure of being a world champion.

At the start of G-Revolution, the team has issues as Tyson was the only one to come out of V-Force with a World Champion title (V-Forces World Tournament was crap anyway, but V-Force was a fluff series). Due to the pressure Rei and Max had, they were leaving and knew they would end up fighting Tyson. This meant that he had a chance to loose his title and them gaining it. Tyson's biggest blow was also when Kai left to join the Russian team, as Kai had always been the one who showed Tyson the way forward as rival and teammate. To Tyson it was the worst teammate to fight against. In most cases, Kai was depicted as overall stronger then Tyson at every hurdle, a barrier to cross. When Kai falls, Tyson knows how serious something is, which is why victories over Kai were so big of a deal for Tyson.

Daichi, is more like Tyson was in the original series while Tyson had matured by 2 years. This meant he changed persona and Daichi chased with him over this, as often Daichi didn't 100% get the full extent of the situation whereas Tyson did. IT got to the point wherein Daichi was getting frustrated with his partner (especially since he had wanted the no.1 title in the first place and was now second to Tyson). Between Tyson's pressure to perform and dealing with Daichi, cracks began to form in the team. When they faced the Russian team, Tyson had to learn he wasn't as vital as he thought and the team could survive without him, meaning his title of "World Champion" was just that, a "title".

It wasn't so much of him being a glory hog, it was the "World Champion" title came with very high expectations. If things were the same in G-Rev as previous seasons, Tyson would have been more laid back and relaxed with his teammates behind him to support him - not in front of him trying to take what he has away. He does the most growing in this series as a blader, so I'd argue it weren't such a bad season. IT was better then V-Force... V-Force's main problem was the bladers couldn't grow as they were being held back by it being mostly filler while the manga storyline paced ahead. The series never followed the manga exactly, but it took a lot of notes from it. Also, seasons 2 and 3 were written in "halves" for much the reasons.

Fun fact; the episode of Kai versus Tyson at the world champs? That was done by the series top animator! I can't remember who they were but they are really good at battle scenes compared to others... So they were used in a lot of the important eps.

You sadly can tell when they used the Korean animators in the anime... The character models are off. I used to know all the episodes, but it can get really bad at times. This was done because Beyblade was to be shown in Korea and due to some rules... A certain amount of the staff team had to be Korean for it to air in Korea. There are conflicts of interest between Korea and Japan... And china too for that matter. In the early 2000s I knew a business man who spoke to western fans about the situation and said it happens a lot. One Piece and Pokémon I believe are impacted by Korea's guidelines too I believe. May have changed, but back then...

Plus the series was done on the cheap and China/Korea offered cheap animation. :-/
