I shalln't agreen't.

First off, I think Valstrax is a realy weak design in terms of visuals, it looks good from like two angles, but from any other it looks like a dumb gray sausage with some spikes and aragami wings, other than the face and wings there's not that much detail into it, it really feels out of place compared to the overdesigned monsters from Generations/Ultimate.

Secondly, on being a generic black dragon with spikes, I think that's on par with the series as there's a lot of generic black dragons, for me Nergigante ranks above both Gore Magala and Alatreon in terms of visual design alone, Nergigante has some color on its underside and its white spikes add contrast, Alatreon is almost entirely mono-color, which isn't helped by its arena also having the same colors, Gore Magala has way more contrasting details even when it also has one dominating color, I think Nergigante is the evolution that resulted from the team slowly learning to make better black dragons with each one they put out.

The ost is subpar and it dies 2fest tho.
