Bit chips are by far the thing I miss most about Plastic Gen. Seeing the detailed art of the Bit Beasts really made me feel a personal connection with them
Yeah, it went from regular beyblades which were good, to magnets which were awesome to spin gear which was honestly the best gimmick. You could also swap out the magnet weight disk with older stuff and vice versa. Sizing was the same. Atleast that's how I remember it. New stuff just looks "standard" compared to engine gear beyblades.
Plastic gen is the only Beyblade I acknowledge. I’ll admit, they used to explode when we were kids, but we played rough. 😂 They used to cost $5 at KB toys. I’m mad I never stocked up on them. The new Beyblade is so soft and lame to me, I know I’m no longer in the demographic, but still.
I had no idea just how interesting the combos for plastic gen were! Could you make a video explaining how the process of putting together plastic gen combos works? That would be so interesting
Cool Beyblade Facts! Hasbro has kept the plastic generation alive by making all of their recent beyblades out of as much plastic as they can possibly get away with.
Plastic gen looks like it has a lot of charm into it, from the moment you build them and see all the prices and things you can combine together. Is so good. My brother used to have one, and yes the launchers do look really cool.
Also for plastic imagine having unique custom launchers like a baseball mitt and ball a tennis ball and racket a basketball a US football a fishing rod and lastly guns, oh I forgot different medieval launchers of the ones that was regular looking I like was a stone axe launcher
Bad thing about plastics is people only see them nowadays as collector items… I think it’s a normal thing considering people out there who growth up with first gen are now people living adults life. In pandemic I saw an increasing interest on plastic gen, probably for having the full series posted officially on YT but more important, they all had the enough time to focus on their hobbies staying lots of time in home. Now the hype is much less as it has been last year and I’m pretty sure that’s because now everyone get back to work and restart their normal lives. So it’s all about focus groups based on ages, the less responsibilities the more time to create/watch content, hosting tournaments etc… We who are interested on this stuff need to reach young audience to really achieve a revival on this and build a community with the spotlight on each generation. So keep it up with this kind of efforts man, there are lots of things to talk about plastics.
@@nizumablader There’s definitely a community of us that grew up with the original series craving this kind of content, we just currently have to wade through a sea of hyperactive Burst garbage to find it!
@@FalsettoCaiba I do think burst interest is starting to slow down, I am seeing a large boost in mfb interest though. Just gotta let everyone know about the og stuff.
@@FalsettoCaiba Yeah, very similar systems. HMS was the zero g of plastic gen, it didn't perform super well. There is alot of interest in it now but there wasn't when it came out.
To be honest, I have not seen anything of Metal FIght nor Burst. I come to Beyblade videos exclusively from Nostalgia from seasons 1 through 3. And, to be honest... I kinda want to watch it again since I've been stumbling more and more often onto Beyblade videos. I never knew that the blades already were more intricate in that era. I'm pleasantly surprised by what I've been finding out about this hobby.
I love this gen of Beyblade, the aesthetic of this gen always hit right with me, as well as HMS. Which Metal and Burst designs didnt clicked with me. My first beyblade being Gallman, and loved playing with it, got more beyblades as a kid and ended up losing basically almost all of them with the only survivor was the Attack rings of dragoon V and Wyborg, with Flash Leopard 1 base. It really was a pretty mediocre beyblade, but hell do i loved it When I saw that they were releasing the episodes on TH-cam I decided to buy my first beyblade in a long time and decided with my favorite design (Driger MS) and loved it, and I got hooked, wanting more I searched for my second fav (Driger V2) which was in a bundle with Driger V, so I said 2x1, why not? and finally tried to get all the beyblades the BladeBreakers used, since I grew up with that. Im happy with my collection, I bought the 1st anniversary collection, and basically then only thing missing is Dragoon MSUV in my collection, which i may never have tbh those who know, know why 😅. I just love Beyblade 1st gen
my first exposure to beyblade since my childhood with the plastic gen was burst and holy hell how wildly different it is the fact that there were no bit beasts and only 3 parts to swap out just made me so sad and on top of that they're so gaudy and overdesigned that they should all come with visual epilepsy warnings just for looking at them I'm so glad X is moving back towards the more classic look, I just wish they'd go back to the deeper customisation of plastic gen too
I grew up in the generation where they were plastic and watched g revolution and loved it and couldn't get behind any of the new stuff and just kind of grew out of it but absolutely loved the very first generation of them I don't think anything can really beat it to be honest
I would love to see more plastic gen/OG Beyblade content! There really isn't a whole alot on TH-cam anymore when it comes to the OG series so it would be really cool to see that type of content again! Its a shame that not many people remember the original series and often forget it these days, its honestly a really good series G-Revolution is honestly peak beyblade by far!
I thought Plastic Gen wasn't all that great but then I encountered a few videos from other BeyTubers. Might be a bit more interested to see more, may even give the Animes a watch.
It easily has the most customization of all the series as far as options, just being able to change the spin direction on most beyblades is hugeee. Yeah the anime is definitely worth a watch. If you start with the first season i would give it a few episodes at least. Once it gets rolling its so good.
Dranzer V and Dragoon G were my first ever beyblades, and I remember how I first felt when I fully assembled them to this day. One of the best feelings ever.
Aside from the weight disc, I don’t think any beyblade (with the exception of the very early ones) had reuse of parts. Almost each and every release had its own unique gimmick/parts, even beyblades from obscure characters. Making custom combos back then was pretty much limitless. You really could make your own unique partner and nobody else would have that exact combo. I really miss the original series 😅

I guess I’m just ancient because this was and is my beyblade gen! Grew up watching and playing with the plastic gen back when I was in elementary/middle school. I stopped watching and playing once I hit like 9th grade but still have almost all my plastic gen beys stored away, and almost all the HMS beys too except for some of the villains beys and I think black dranzer lol. Awesome vid giving us older gen some shine
I am glad that I played tournaments on the plastic gen (starting when Takao/Tyson got dragoon F) and still continued to collect for the metal series while both are still airing (up to Zero G).
Beyblade is one of my favorite series of all time I have a scar on my hand when I was trying to put a beyblade together cause I used a knife instead of a screwdriver haha
Another advantage of Plastic Gen was that fakers were rare and when they did come about, they were easy as shit to sus out. Not only that, Hasbro was actually pretty reliable. Around the end of Metal, Hasbro started to get lazy (massacred the 4d wheels), and now in Burst.... Hasbro's Burst beys are missing entire construction sets and are very low quality in comparison to Takara Tomy. I need to hunt down parts to finish off a bey I started for Plastic era.
Ah man, oh boy. This bundle right here, these were my childhood Used to watch the anime, we recorded all the episodes we could on VHS. The only season we got fully was the 2nd one. For some reason they skipped showing a bunch of the 1st season - or school had all of us too busy and we missed them, but still. I got no memory of them ever showing the 3rd season on TV here, and even for the 2nd one, they switched to the English dub after the Dragoon vs Cyber Dragoon fight Some strong nostalgia brought me back about a year ago. I just. Had this burning urge to watch the series again. I never got to see the 3rd season, only bits of it, and I remember having some 'hmm, I dunno if I like that' bits as a kid when I tried watching it. But now? As an adult? My. God. It was so good. I Wholely recommend the original Japanese one with English subtitles. For the whole set of the 3 seasons of Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, English dub changed a few interactions (such as why people gathered to celebrate/cheer Tyson (or Takao, as he's called in Japanese) on before his final match with Kai. In the dub this is because it's supposedly his birthday, but in the Japanese version the whole small village is just super proud of him making it this far & they want to show their support. It's wholesome! // In Season 2, there's a scene that loses a lot of its impact in the dub. The Japanese version is silent, we can see the expressions and actions a character takes (it's Kai), but he doesn't say anything, there's no internal monologue either. We fully get what he's thinking in that moment and it's pretty neat. In the dubbed version they've added music & make Kai speak in a way that lessens the atmosphere of the scene to me. // And boy. Don't even get me started on season 3 lol. This season. Oh. My. God. It's actually pretty mature. It deals with an abusive relationship between an adult/boss and their younger followers, there's cheating, many emotions (Especially in Kai's final fight. It's so badass in Japanese. It's the perfect end to him as a character And I Love It), and the big bad of the final arc even has a formidable but fittingly evil plan on how he does things. Like it's actually genius in a way - the English version cuts half of his plan away and makes it have less of a critical impact, whereas in the Japanese version it's just. Man.) and the atmosphere & plot at times too, and I find the original stronger in these aspects I can recommend the 1st & 3rd seasons to everyone. It might be a bit extra at first and show its age, but it's really enjoyable. The little cultural trivia is great, you get attached to the characters & later the plot just becomes super intriguing. The 2nd season isn't as strong, but if you like the bit chip creatures/bit-beasts/sacred beasts, then you'll find at least something to enjoy in it As for me, I wonder if we still have some of our old Beyblades. We used to have plenty. My brother always got all the Dragoon & Draciel ones, I got the Drigger beys and I forget which one of us had Dranzer. We also had several other beys from the 1st season, I remember always wanting a Wolborg, and eventually I did find the orange one. To my (bad (lol)) memory it was a bit translucent too, either way, it was my favourite thing ever. So, I'd Imagine my parents still have it somewhere in the storage. Might also have my first Drigger, that one meant so much to me. It had a holographic sticker on the Bit Chip, I remember losing the chip several times xD But I Think I always found it in the end. Sadly, most of the beys were sold at a fleamarket/second-hand-store when we were teens, but I beg of my younger self to have had enough attachment left to have kept at least one of them around. I have to go digging when I next go to my parents' house. I have so many questions xD
I have nothing but good memories with the first gen beys. The plastic gen is my favorite over the metal and burst series and i still have a few of them left.
Best part of the plastic gen anime, THEY HAD A REASON why the beys moved in crazy ways and could do things like summon a tornado. Metal series anime lovers please tell me, why and how do the beys do all those super crazy moves?
Please do! I grew up watching the plastic gen anime and I always loved Bit Beasts, their design and lore. I have some plastic gen beys and I'm trying to get back into the hobby, so I would really like to hear about some franchise history and also about one of the coolest beyblade gimmicks ever (IMO): Engine Gears!
Ngl I remember these times we're me and my uncle used to play Plastic Gen beyblades back in 2006 and I would love it if you make content like these plastic gen thanks for making this video!
Damn this whole video is pure FACTS. I wish TT would actually rerelease the plastic gen beyblades. Like people talk about how ryuga is a badass but they don’t know any of the beybreakers especially once you get to g revolution master piece from the show to the toys
IK we get plastic gen in X but I wish they revamp the whole gen for modern Beyblade so that why the old favorite's not just the main 4 can come back in full glory
You know I am not gonna lie, I honestly think if Hasbro or Takara Tomy were to reboot or remake the original plastic generation it would do pretty well all things considered. Given the current market of how people desire the old products more over the newer it would be both a good marketing tactic as well as a way to show "fan service" to the older audience that has grown up with the original toys, while also introducing the toys to a newer generation.
@@nizumablader Exactly! If Digimon, and He-Man especially can get rebooted as well as release their old toys and cash in on the current market, then why can't Beyblade? If anything I would consider this a loss of assets for profits from a business standpoint for both companies.
I grew up with Plastic gen and i will always have a place for it in my heart. I used to have a pretty good collection when i was a kid, but like most toys when you are young, they tend to be lost over time, or tossed out by family members thinking that you don'T want/need that toy anymore. I have been wanting to start a new Plastic Gen collection, going slowly and getting Beyblades i remember loving as a kid.
Plastic Gen 4Life! I agree about the anime, bit beasts only making sense in that Gen and we had the best grips. Also I know every bey is CGI style from season 2 of Plastic Gen anime to nowadays but there was something special about hand drawn season 1's fights. I didn't know a Gameboy color game started Beyblade though.
This is my combo: bit-chip: master draciel,attack ring:smash turtule weight disk 10 heavy base: clutch base (gaia Dragoon) engine gear: métal flat (right spin) :D
I so wish we could get plastic gen anime and voices but with metal fight battle animation and burst character animation, that way we can take the best of all three anime’s and make the truly peak beyblade anime
I agree For me, Original Series in the Anime is the best, I can relate with most of the characters and g revolution is the Peak of beyblade, they bring amazing stuff and see how Tyson starts to work without his teammates is amazing and the bega arc is my favorite. Something that metal or I never caught much my attention compared to original series is because was very fantasy or just saving the world, sure OG have fantasy too and yeah in masters have tournament arc, but idk, it feels like typical shonen plot. Burst return my love to beyblade but after season 4 didn't like much surge or quaddrive compared to the 1st 2 burst seasons. OG have the magic of tournaments and saving the World and also see how each character have something to learn specially season 1 with Max, Ray and Kai arcs and season 3 with Tyson and the manga have more lore like Tala Backstory and Zeo Backstory (this one is different from the anime* thats why OG for me have this magic that metal or burst even I like them but for me OG still the best.
I mean if new kids can get into mfb then there is no reason why we cant make plastic gen more popular. especially considering how many options you have with customization. MFB has largely been explored but plastic gen really hasn't.
Plastic gen is just "it" for me. I collected so many over the years of my childhood with the Dragoons being my favorite line. Everything about them just made sense. The plastic felt and looked durable (and was). I look at the newer Beys today and just.. see a lot of clear plastic which just looks kind of cheap imo. And in my experience with clear plastic stuff in general, way too brittle and sensitive, break and crack easily. And some are just way too flashy as well. Also, the but beast designs were really cool and caught my eye. Seeing them come to life in the anime, the storyline behind them, all got me interested. Seeing as how that's not really a thing anymore and most are either just little scribbles with words or some type of face plate, kind of takes away from them a bit. While the gimmicks of the newer gen seem to be better executed, they just.. don't really do it for me. Kind of wish they'd do a mix of plastic and new gen stuff. Keep the bit beasts, more metal for.more durability and a heftier feel, and a little bit of the flash and boom, I might be a fan again. Always fantasized about creating my own unique Bey. Would be cool~
I remember watching the anime back in the day, the only Beyblade I had was a Purple Dranzer. Honestly I think personally that Metal Fight is a little more fun when it comes to the Beys but I remember the intro of the plastic series being hella good and Tyson being a way better protagonist than Ginka.
Yeah, mfb is definitely solid gameplay wise. just a much smaller part pool. and the metal is largely explored. Plastic gen is still not super established as far as meta. But yeah, plastic gen anime is definitely better than metal fight.
I'm a big fan of the Plastic gen 😁 even though I was born a year after the Plastic gen 😅 but i still like this Generation more than mfb (And mfb was my best childhood btw)
I miss my beys, i had a lwft spin shap tip (flash leopard 2) with magna core, magnet disk with the Dranzer V2 attack ring which allowed me to switch between Left and Right spin with a change of the spin gear. I need to start finding the plastic gen again and build that bey again. So much nostalgia!
2:34 The first season of Plastic Gen is great, without a doubt, but The entire first season of Burst was about character and character growth. Say what you will on the animes as a whole I can't really confirm or deny it 'cause I have only seen the first season of Metal Fight, and Plastic gen, and the first two seasons of Burst.
I'm so glad I grew up with this gen in my teen years. I've collected and battled with them all my life, now they spend their time in a plastic box that I like to show off 😂 I skipped Metal Fight, but was hooked on Shogun Steel. Burst brought me back again, but only Burst Turbo was by far the best for me. I'd say its on par with the original. Also I'm a fan of the first and second series, whereas Brooklyn is a major favourite of mine after Kai, I'm not a fan of G-Rev.
@@nizumablader I tried, unfortunately I can't get into it. No characters stand out for me, not like Kai, Brooklyn, Phi, Hyde or Aiger. I miss my boys 😭
I started with plastic gen dranzer being my very first beyblade ever (not sure which one doe since i lost it after all those years) would love to see more plastic gen content
I recently found out that the Hasbro Trypio's Attack Ring of all things actually has uses as a niche anti-meta part against builds using Circle Survivor; one of the most powerful Engine Gear pieces in all of Plastic Gen.
Just got back into beyblade after 20 years. Gen 1 was the bomb back then. I tried the metal beyblades around 2009 but the simplicity of the beys made me loose interest. Just like bdaman made me loose interest when they dumbed down the figures for b daman crossfire. I know i might be a little late to the party but please continue making videos about first gen beyblades. They rocked and were so much more fun with all the options!
The only thing I wish plastic gen had was string launchers because I think that would have been super cool. DIY-ing one is also an interesting project, though.
You could probably 3D print something. But honestly the ripcord launchers for plastic gen were probably the best ripcord launchers they’ve ever made. No complaints from me.
@@nizumablader fair enough! I've gotten so used to the awful ripcord launchers from burst that my younger cousin plays with that I've forgotten the feeling of the original ones.
i think the biggest difference from the plastic and metal anime series is that the plastic one focused a lot on the bit beasts, it was the coolest stuff from the anime, but in the meantime i don't remember them getting much into the beyblade's parts and gimmicks. the metal series focus a lot more into the beyblade's parts and gimmicks, while the bit beasts are mostly neglected (save for pegasus itself, which still doesn't get nearly as much attention as even a lesser notable bit beast like griffolyon)
The reason they don’t get mentioned in mfb is because they aren’t but beasts, where in plastic gen bit beasts were actual physical beings that would choose to fight along side a blader. The “spirits” in metal fight are a tangible thing like they are in plastic gen. Like how in the og series it was a big deal when someone summons a bit beast, the announcers acknowledge it. That never happens in metal fight. They are just this vague thing that isn’t really explained.
They did cover the parts in plastic gen, anytime a blader got a new bey or a new gimmick was introduced it was explained how it worked and how it would help them in battle etc.
This may be an odd request, but could you possibly have a guide on the best way(s) of obtaining Bakuten Shoot beys?? I found out about it around the same time I got into Metal Fight and Beyblade as a whole back in ~2012 and I've always had an admiration for the generation. I got the main season 1 cast of "S" beys for Christmas back in I believe 2018. I loved using just those 4 and I grew to love the gen even more but over time things broke and pieces were lost and it saddens me that the only one I can really use left out of the 4 is Driger S. Recently, I've been watching the anime in it's original Japanese form and it has been an amazing experience and I'm a little sad that I'm close to finishing it. Just this year I ordered a Burning Kerberous through ZenMarket as a birthday present for myself and it's lovely, one of my favorite beys that I own now. While I still want to collect all 3 gens (Burst being the most prominent in my collection right now, loosely followed by my 9 Metal Fight beys), I only have 2 Bakuten Shoot beys that I can really count as a part of my collection seeing as the other 3 have at least 1 broken part. I need to get more of these amazing, underrated gems.
Imo plastic gen had the best anime and combos, metal fight had the best designs and formulas and the fights, while idk anything about burst I hate their designs it feels like it's a load of gibberish.
i absolutely love plastic gen..... problem is that they've pretty much become collector's items at this point. i cant bear to let it rip after spending xxx dollars on my favorite plastic gen beyblade ):
They are not priced the same, I agree with this video, but they are the most expensive beyblades. I can get ultimate Valkyrie for $30. And cosmic Pegasus for $55. But the Dragoon I’m trying to get is $140.
@@nizumablader also how are you getting them new in the box for so cheap? If you don’t mind me asking. Are you doing bids? Or are you getting lucky? I’ve just started getting into the plastic generation and I really want to start getting them.
Plastic gen is the toyline I go back and play with the most, soooo many combos! The bit chips were so cool I use my dragoon f bit on every combo just cause of sentimental 😊. The prices have shot up a bit though compared to like 2010 😅. Def agree on the anime im 30 and I can go back and watch og beyblade. Compared to like pokemon and dbz i cant re watch as an adult
@@nizumablader tbf im thinking of prices from like 2009/2010 makes sense things go up, a lot of the main cast beyblades went up. Also the HMS prices on ebay have gone crazy from what they used to be wish I didnt sell a bunch of my HMS beyblades 🤣
i grew up with plastic gen its what i started off with back in 2004 i had v force beys g rev beys and even the first beyblade beys i had a lot more memories with it then i did with the newer ones that's why plastic gen will always have a special place in my heart i prefer it over metal fight i never liked metal fight that much at all that's why i always played with my plastic gen beys when i was younger hope one day that plastic gen will come back fully it was an amazing time me and my school friends would always play with them at recess it brought all of us together when metal fight came around we didn't really talk about it at all we didn't like the series at all (no offence to the fans of the metal series)
I remember my dumbass had a draciel and put it up against a battle striker if you know what those are 😂 and behold the draciel Literally shattered. I was a kid tho so I thought the explosion was fun and funny, I just bought another one after that event but that’s one of my funniest experiences with the old beyblades.
Plastic saga does it's best to be a great story while Metal saga tries to be a great art. In Plastic saga there is great emphasis on character development but the beys themselves don't have that much individuality. Dranzer has a mode change gimmick, Dragoon was the first reverse rotation bey but that's never given a big highlight in the show. Wheras the character development in Metal saga may not be as good, it is very poetic. And they beys have such individuality as if they themselves are characters.
@@nizumablader Yeah I really liked the lore behind bit beasts. In Metal saga they are mostly just treated as allegories but then again in many instances are shown to be real. They never explained that.
Bit chips are by far the thing I miss most about Plastic Gen. Seeing the detailed art of the Bit Beasts really made me feel a personal connection with them
Yeah same, loved it as a kid.
Agree
Bro we shouted and called for the bit beasts each time we let them rip. i miss those times.
@@tako_ro saaaame
Jesus loves you, God Bless✝️
Not only are the beys themselves were interesting, the show was incredible and well written full of in depth characters
Yeah, it went from regular beyblades which were good, to magnets which were awesome to spin gear which was honestly the best gimmick.
You could also swap out the magnet weight disk with older stuff and vice versa. Sizing was the same. Atleast that's how I remember it.
New stuff just looks "standard" compared to engine gear beyblades.
Plastic gen is the only Beyblade I acknowledge. I’ll admit, they used to explode when we were kids, but we played rough. 😂 They used to cost $5 at KB toys. I’m mad I never stocked up on them. The new Beyblade is so soft and lame to me, I know I’m no longer in the demographic, but still.
I had no idea just how interesting the combos for plastic gen were! Could you make a video explaining how the process of putting together plastic gen combos works? That would be so interesting
Yes! I will 100% do that.
Cool Beyblade Facts!
Hasbro has kept the plastic generation alive by making all of their recent beyblades out of as much plastic as they can possibly get away with.
i remember having a few of those and i didnt even know they were actually a part of the beyblade generation
the og!!!!!
@@nizumablader Whats the color plastic of driger f?
@@Galeeon687 there’s a few recolors. The normal color is grey though.
@@nizumablader What kind of grey though cuz i have an extra extend+ chip so that. I can use it
@@Galeeon687 just light grey
Plastic gen looks like it has a lot of charm into it, from the moment you build them and see all the prices and things you can combine together. Is so good. My brother used to have one, and yes the launchers do look really cool.
Also for plastic imagine having unique custom launchers like a baseball mitt and ball a tennis ball and racket a basketball a US football a fishing rod and lastly guns, oh I forgot different medieval launchers of the ones that was regular looking I like was a stone axe launcher
I grew up with the OG plastic in 2001. Plastic gen is literally all I've ever known.
Bro I need a beginners guide to plastic gen cuz I'm really hooked
More in depth videos coming soon
Bad thing about plastics is people only see them nowadays as collector items…
I think it’s a normal thing considering people out there who growth up with first gen are now people living adults life. In pandemic I saw an increasing interest on plastic gen, probably for having the full series posted officially on YT but more important, they all had the enough time to focus on their hobbies staying lots of time in home.
Now the hype is much less as it has been last year and I’m pretty sure that’s because now everyone get back to work and restart their normal lives.
So it’s all about focus groups based on ages, the less responsibilities the more time to create/watch content, hosting tournaments etc…
We who are interested on this stuff need to reach young audience to really achieve a revival on this and build a community with the spotlight on each generation.
So keep it up with this kind of efforts man, there are lots of things to talk about plastics.
absolutely! If younger generations can get into mfb they can get into plastic.
well they are older and plastic get weaker by age. so they can break and also expensive to replace
Would LOVE to see more plastic gen content!
Hopefully people find it interesting, there is a severe lack of content on it.
@@nizumablader There’s definitely a community of us that grew up with the original series craving this kind of content, we just currently have to wade through a sea of hyperactive Burst garbage to find it!
@@FalsettoCaiba I do think burst interest is starting to slow down, I am seeing a large boost in mfb interest though. Just gotta let everyone know about the og stuff.
@@nizumablader Agreed. I have no nostalgia for MFB but love the beys - they feel like true successors of the HMS series!
@@FalsettoCaiba Yeah, very similar systems. HMS was the zero g of plastic gen, it didn't perform super well. There is alot of interest in it now but there wasn't when it came out.
To be honest, I have not seen anything of Metal FIght nor Burst. I come to Beyblade videos exclusively from Nostalgia from seasons 1 through 3. And, to be honest... I kinda want to watch it again since I've been stumbling more and more often onto Beyblade videos. I never knew that the blades already were more intricate in that era. I'm pleasantly surprised by what I've been finding out about this hobby.
Yeah, a lot of depth to customization. I’ve been rewatching it this year. Still good lol
I love this gen of Beyblade, the aesthetic of this gen always hit right with me, as well as HMS. Which Metal and Burst designs didnt clicked with me.
My first beyblade being Gallman, and loved playing with it, got more beyblades as a kid and ended up losing basically almost all of them with the only survivor was the Attack rings of dragoon V and Wyborg, with Flash Leopard 1 base. It really was a pretty mediocre beyblade, but hell do i loved it
When I saw that they were releasing the episodes on TH-cam I decided to buy my first beyblade in a long time and decided with my favorite design (Driger MS) and loved it, and I got hooked, wanting more I searched for my second fav (Driger V2) which was in a bundle with Driger V, so I said 2x1, why not? and finally tried to get all the beyblades the BladeBreakers used, since I grew up with that.
Im happy with my collection, I bought the 1st anniversary collection, and basically then only thing missing is Dragoon MSUV in my collection, which i may never have tbh those who know, know why 😅.
I just love Beyblade 1st gen
Aye that’s awesome man. I also love plastic gen, it’s just so good.
my first exposure to beyblade since my childhood with the plastic gen was burst
and holy hell how wildly different it is
the fact that there were no bit beasts and only 3 parts to swap out just made me so sad
and on top of that they're so gaudy and overdesigned that they should all come with visual epilepsy warnings just for looking at them
I'm so glad X is moving back towards the more classic look, I just wish they'd go back to the deeper customisation of plastic gen too
I grew up in the generation where they were plastic and watched g revolution and loved it and couldn't get behind any of the new stuff and just kind of grew out of it but absolutely loved the very first generation of them I don't think anything can really beat it to be honest
I would love to see more plastic gen/OG Beyblade content! There really isn't a whole alot on TH-cam anymore when it comes to the OG series so it would be really cool to see that type of content again!
Its a shame that not many people remember the original series and often forget it these days, its honestly a really good series G-Revolution is honestly peak beyblade by far!
I have a plastic gen video premiering in an hour!
@@nizumablader I will be there! :D
To me plastic gen is what i knew as beyblade growing up.still when i see them i feel like they Are the originals
Im happy you cover plastic gen its what i grew up with i used to be very smart at customizing them even making double weight disc beys for fun
Glad you like it!
I miss plastic gen man, designs were simple and bit beasts were just dope. Late game burst has a lot going on lol
First ever anime series and related plastic gen beyblades is the best, would LOVE to see more content about them 🥺
You have my interest in plastic gen content!
Awesome!
I thought Plastic Gen wasn't all that great but then I encountered a few videos from other BeyTubers. Might be a bit more interested to see more, may even give the Animes a watch.
It easily has the most customization of all the series as far as options, just being able to change the spin direction on most beyblades is hugeee. Yeah the anime is definitely worth a watch. If you start with the first season i would give it a few episodes at least. Once it gets rolling its so good.
Dranzer V and Dragoon G were my first ever beyblades, and I remember how I first felt when I fully assembled them to this day. One of the best feelings ever.
Aside from the weight disc, I don’t think any beyblade (with the exception of the very early ones) had reuse of parts. Almost each and every release had its own unique gimmick/parts, even beyblades from obscure characters. Making custom combos back then was pretty much limitless. You really could make your own unique partner and nobody else would have that exact combo. I really miss the original series 😅
ngl would love to see more plastic gen stuff
it's definitely coming
So true I'm glad you're bringing this topic to light plastic gens are awesome
The plastic gen has the best music and narration out of all of the series for me
Kids are doing it all across the nation
Time to battle now for world domination
Cooler than your hip
You better get a grip
The battle has begun so let it rip

How to play A Major chord
Beyblade watch out cos here we come

Don't tell who's gonna be number 1
Let it rip now

The battle's on now it's time to take it
With all my friends yeah I know that we can make it

Plastic is fantastic
I honestly wish the ORIGINAL beyblades would come back. I want HMS, the V Series and the S Series to come back.
An elegant weapon, from a more civilized age.
I grew up on plastic gen bays and dropped it after the original series ended collecting them I mean
Yeah most of us did, I really got back into it this year
I guess I’m just ancient because this was and is my beyblade gen! Grew up watching and playing with the plastic gen back when I was in elementary/middle school. I stopped watching and playing once I hit like 9th grade but still have almost all my plastic gen beys stored away, and almost all the HMS beys too except for some of the villains beys and I think black dranzer lol. Awesome vid giving us older gen some shine
Aye awesome
Mangacore system was the best imo. I had the stadium and all characters beyblades in the v force gen. I miss it. Shoulda kept em.
I am glad that I played tournaments on the plastic gen (starting when Takao/Tyson got dragoon F) and still continued to collect for the metal series while both are still airing (up to Zero G).
The burst remakes are neat. The burst resistance on a lot of them are bad though unfortunately.
Beyblade is one of my favorite series of all time I have a scar on my hand when I was trying to put a beyblade together cause I used a knife instead of a screwdriver haha
I would love to see the new content about the plastic gen, coz i grow up watching it and s watching it this days
im on it!
Another advantage of Plastic Gen was that fakers were rare and when they did come about, they were easy as shit to sus out. Not only that, Hasbro was actually pretty reliable.
Around the end of Metal, Hasbro started to get lazy (massacred the 4d wheels), and now in Burst....
Hasbro's Burst beys are missing entire construction sets and are very low quality in comparison to Takara Tomy.
I need to hunt down parts to finish off a bey I started for Plastic era.
I got back into beyblade in 2016 I still like the plastic and hms customization
Plastic gens customization is super involved, I don’t think a lot of people realize how much you can do with plastic gen.
Ah man, oh boy. This bundle right here, these were my childhood
Used to watch the anime, we recorded all the episodes we could on VHS. The only season we got fully was the 2nd one. For some reason they skipped showing a bunch of the 1st season - or school had all of us too busy and we missed them, but still. I got no memory of them ever showing the 3rd season on TV here, and even for the 2nd one, they switched to the English dub after the Dragoon vs Cyber Dragoon fight
Some strong nostalgia brought me back about a year ago. I just. Had this burning urge to watch the series again. I never got to see the 3rd season, only bits of it, and I remember having some 'hmm, I dunno if I like that' bits as a kid when I tried watching it. But now? As an adult? My. God. It was so good.
I Wholely recommend the original Japanese one with English subtitles. For the whole set of the 3 seasons of Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, English dub changed a few interactions (such as why people gathered to celebrate/cheer Tyson (or Takao, as he's called in Japanese) on before his final match with Kai. In the dub this is because it's supposedly his birthday, but in the Japanese version the whole small village is just super proud of him making it this far & they want to show their support. It's wholesome! // In Season 2, there's a scene that loses a lot of its impact in the dub. The Japanese version is silent, we can see the expressions and actions a character takes (it's Kai), but he doesn't say anything, there's no internal monologue either. We fully get what he's thinking in that moment and it's pretty neat. In the dubbed version they've added music & make Kai speak in a way that lessens the atmosphere of the scene to me. // And boy. Don't even get me started on season 3 lol. This season. Oh. My. God. It's actually pretty mature. It deals with an abusive relationship between an adult/boss and their younger followers, there's cheating, many emotions (Especially in Kai's final fight. It's so badass in Japanese. It's the perfect end to him as a character And I Love It), and the big bad of the final arc even has a formidable but fittingly evil plan on how he does things. Like it's actually genius in a way - the English version cuts half of his plan away and makes it have less of a critical impact, whereas in the Japanese version it's just. Man.) and the atmosphere & plot at times too, and I find the original stronger in these aspects
I can recommend the 1st & 3rd seasons to everyone. It might be a bit extra at first and show its age, but it's really enjoyable. The little cultural trivia is great, you get attached to the characters & later the plot just becomes super intriguing. The 2nd season isn't as strong, but if you like the bit chip creatures/bit-beasts/sacred beasts, then you'll find at least something to enjoy in it
As for me, I wonder if we still have some of our old Beyblades. We used to have plenty. My brother always got all the Dragoon & Draciel ones, I got the Drigger beys and I forget which one of us had Dranzer. We also had several other beys from the 1st season, I remember always wanting a Wolborg, and eventually I did find the orange one. To my (bad (lol)) memory it was a bit translucent too, either way, it was my favourite thing ever. So, I'd Imagine my parents still have it somewhere in the storage. Might also have my first Drigger, that one meant so much to me. It had a holographic sticker on the Bit Chip, I remember losing the chip several times xD But I Think I always found it in the end.
Sadly, most of the beys were sold at a fleamarket/second-hand-store when we were teens, but I beg of my younger self to have had enough attachment left to have kept at least one of them around. I have to go digging when I next go to my parents' house. I have so many questions xD
I have nothing but good memories with the first gen beys. The plastic gen is my favorite over the metal and burst series and i still have a few of them left.
That’s awesome
Bro I would love to see more of plastic gen beyblade
I’ve been slowly putting out more plastic gen content!
It’s absolutely painful to find plastic Gen Beyblades,
Best part of the plastic gen anime, THEY HAD A REASON why the beys moved in crazy ways and could do things like summon a tornado.
Metal series anime lovers please tell me, why and how do the beys do all those super crazy moves?
Exactlyyyyyy, it makes sense in the original series. There is no explanation in mfb.
@@nizumablader plastic gen : deep lore explaining how each Beyblade got their abilities metal fight : haha funny meteor go brrrr
Metal fight beys have hidden powers
Late but ask Ryo and Madoka lol
alright, i'll bite. How tf did Galeon generate black lightning? ancient chinese technique?
Please do! I grew up watching the plastic gen anime and I always loved Bit Beasts, their design and lore. I have some plastic gen beys and I'm trying to get back into the hobby, so I would really like to hear about some franchise history and also about one of the coolest beyblade gimmicks ever (IMO): Engine Gears!
Got a plastic gen video going up today!
Ngl I remember these times we're me and my uncle used to play Plastic Gen beyblades back in 2006 and I would love it if you make content like these plastic gen thanks for making this video!
I’ve uploaded a few others! Check out the 2004 championship video if you haven’t already!
Damn this whole video is pure FACTS. I wish TT would actually rerelease the plastic gen beyblades. Like people talk about how ryuga is a badass but they don’t know any of the beybreakers especially once you get to g revolution master piece from the show to the toys
facts
Not mention it's while not close but has a bit of resemblance to the shonen style mfb had.
IK we get plastic gen in X but I wish they revamp the whole gen for modern Beyblade so that why the old favorite's not just the main 4 can come back in full glory
You know I am not gonna lie, I honestly think if Hasbro or Takara Tomy were to reboot or remake the original plastic generation it would do pretty well all things considered. Given the current market of how people desire the old products more over the newer it would be both a good marketing tactic as well as a way to show "fan service" to the older audience that has grown up with the original toys, while also introducing the toys to a newer generation.
I agree, if they can reboot digimon adventure I don’t see why they can’t do it with beyblade
@@nizumablader Exactly! If Digimon, and He-Man especially can get rebooted as well as release their old toys and cash in on the current market, then why can't Beyblade? If anything I would consider this a loss of assets for profits from a business standpoint for both companies.
@@Furykerbecs9689 I’d love to see it. Either way I’m ready for something other than burst lol.
@@nizumablader Oh yeah... Burst honestly grew stale after evolution...
i think you should start with introduction of plastic gen then slowly introduce us to battles and interesting stufffs
Good idea
Hopefully by next gen, Takara Tomy would take notes from the plastic generation
I hope so
I grew up with the plastic gen. My first beys were Bump King and Knight Dranzer. I'd watch a let's play of the gba game!
Bump king was cool looking! I need to grab another one!
@@nizumablader the problem with it was the wings were too thin and stuck out too far kinda like Trypio so they'd break off RIP 👻
I grew up with Plastic gen and i will always have a place for it in my heart. I used to have a pretty good collection when i was a kid, but like most toys when you are young, they tend to be lost over time, or tossed out by family members thinking that you don'T want/need that toy anymore. I have been wanting to start a new Plastic Gen collection, going slowly and getting Beyblades i remember loving as a kid.
I was in the same boat, I’ve collected a ton over the last year.
Plastic Gen 4Life! I agree about the anime, bit beasts only making sense in that Gen and we had the best grips. Also I know every bey is CGI style from season 2 of Plastic Gen anime to nowadays but there was something special about hand drawn season 1's fights. I didn't know a Gameboy color game started Beyblade though.
Yeah I’ve been playing through, hopefully I’ll be able to do a let’s play soon. The story is pretty different lol
This is my combo: bit-chip: master draciel,attack ring:smash turtule weight disk 10 heavy base: clutch base (gaia Dragoon) engine gear: métal flat (right spin) :D
There will never be a fullmetal gen -_-
But we can alway create DIY Beys
You forgot about the plastic gen theme music
oh man, no one can forget the theme song. Best beyblade theme hands down.
I had no idea the piece of plastic I found under y bed was the tip of my first beyblade ever, but I recognized it in your video
Haha awesome
I so wish we could get plastic gen anime and voices but with metal fight battle animation and burst character animation, that way we can take the best of all three anime’s and make the truly peak beyblade anime
I agree For me, Original Series in the Anime is the best, I can relate with most of the characters and g revolution is the Peak of beyblade, they bring amazing stuff and see how Tyson starts to work without his teammates is amazing and the bega arc is my favorite.
Something that metal or I never caught much my attention compared to original series is because was very fantasy or just saving the world, sure OG have fantasy too and yeah in masters have tournament arc, but idk, it feels like typical shonen plot.
Burst return my love to beyblade but after season 4 didn't like much surge or quaddrive compared to the 1st 2 burst seasons.
OG have the magic of tournaments and saving the World and also see how each character have something to learn specially season 1 with Max, Ray and Kai arcs and season 3 with Tyson and the manga have more lore like Tala Backstory and Zeo Backstory (this one is different from the anime* thats why OG for me have this magic that metal or burst even I like them but for me OG still the best.
🙏 yesssss
Probably because we can't make combos and have more content about the beys. Like MF combo tournament still a thing on TH-cam
I mean if new kids can get into mfb then there is no reason why we cant make plastic gen more popular. especially considering how many options you have with customization. MFB has largely been explored but plastic gen really hasn't.
@@nizumablader I agree. Plastic gen is my favorite gen
Plastic gen is just "it" for me. I collected so many over the years of my childhood with the Dragoons being my favorite line.
Everything about them just made sense. The plastic felt and looked durable (and was). I look at the newer Beys today and just.. see a lot of clear plastic which just looks kind of cheap imo. And in my experience with clear plastic stuff in general, way too brittle and sensitive, break and crack easily. And some are just way too flashy as well.
Also, the but beast designs were really cool and caught my eye. Seeing them come to life in the anime, the storyline behind them, all got me interested. Seeing as how that's not really a thing anymore and most are either just little scribbles with words or some type of face plate, kind of takes away from them a bit.
While the gimmicks of the newer gen seem to be better executed, they just.. don't really do it for me. Kind of wish they'd do a mix of plastic and new gen stuff. Keep the bit beasts, more metal for.more durability and a heftier feel, and a little bit of the flash and boom, I might be a fan again.
Always fantasized about creating my own unique Bey. Would be cool~
I’m on the same boat. I
I remember watching the anime back in the day, the only Beyblade I had was a Purple Dranzer.
Honestly I think personally that Metal Fight is a little more fun when it comes to the Beys but I remember the intro of the plastic series being hella good and Tyson being a way better protagonist than Ginka.
Yeah, mfb is definitely solid gameplay wise. just a much smaller part pool. and the metal is largely explored. Plastic gen is still not super established as far as meta. But yeah, plastic gen anime is definitely better than metal fight.
@@nizumablader Agreed 💯
I'm a big fan of the Plastic gen 😁 even though I was born a year after the Plastic gen 😅 but i still like this Generation more than mfb (And mfb was my best childhood btw)
hell yea first and third season, i mean i like v force cuz thats when i started watching on tv but ty so much for this video
I miss the force and generation series o was the best in the anime and the bey blades weee jus the best at the time
I miss my beys, i had a lwft spin shap tip (flash leopard 2) with magna core, magnet disk with the Dranzer V2 attack ring which allowed me to switch between Left and Right spin with a change of the spin gear. I need to start finding the plastic gen again and build that bey again. So much nostalgia!
Do it bro!
@@nizumablader ive tried. Ebay ive found is a bit expensive. Any suggestions on where to go?
@@hypershadic2014 just gotta shop around, you can try Mercari as well. Buyee also is a good place to look.
@@nizumablader ill take a look thanks
2:34 The first season of Plastic Gen is great, without a doubt, but The entire first season of Burst was about character and character growth. Say what you will on the animes as a whole I can't really confirm or deny it 'cause I have only seen the first season of Metal Fight, and Plastic gen, and the first two seasons of Burst.
The first couple seasons of burst are great, it just fizzles out the longer it goes.
I'm so glad I grew up with this gen in my teen years. I've collected and battled with them all my life, now they spend their time in a plastic box that I like to show off 😂 I skipped Metal Fight, but was hooked on Shogun Steel. Burst brought me back again, but only Burst Turbo was by far the best for me. I'd say its on par with the original. Also I'm a fan of the first and second series, whereas Brooklyn is a major favourite of mine after Kai, I'm not a fan of G-Rev.
Ah man I love g rev. Check out X it’s super fun!
@@nizumablader I tried, unfortunately I can't get into it. No characters stand out for me, not like Kai, Brooklyn, Phi, Hyde or Aiger. I miss my boys 😭
the sound tracks were og on the plastic gen
I started with plastic gen dranzer being my very first beyblade ever (not sure which one doe since i lost it after all those years) would love to see more plastic gen content
Definitely got stuff coming!
Great video. Would love to see more.
Been pumping out a bunch lately
I really hate the nomenclature "plastic gen(eration)". Foto me they are Just the First gen, because the HMS are too different for the same generation
honestly the original series should just be called beyblade, everything after has subtext. beyblade metal fight, beyblade burst, etc.
@@nizumablader i quote!
I would like to see a playthrough of the Beyblade Gameboy Color 😊
Already started it. Need to continue it soon.
@@nizumablader I see, that would be nice 👍
history videos would be very interesting along with battles and even combo recommendations
I definitely would like to do all of those more.
Plastic gen is dope I'd definitely like more coverage
They are cool actually
I recently found out that the Hasbro Trypio's Attack Ring of all things actually has uses as a niche anti-meta part against builds using Circle Survivor; one of the most powerful Engine Gear pieces in all of Plastic Gen.
Yeah hahaha, who would have guessed.
Love for G revolution, fav bayblade- dragoon G
Just got back into beyblade after 20 years. Gen 1 was the bomb back then. I tried the metal beyblades around 2009 but the simplicity of the beys made me loose interest. Just like bdaman made me loose interest when they dumbed down the figures for b daman crossfire. I know i might be a little late to the party but please continue making videos about first gen beyblades. They rocked and were so much more fun with all the options!
Love to see more classic stuff
The only thing I wish plastic gen had was string launchers because I think that would have been super cool. DIY-ing one is also an interesting project, though.
You could probably 3D print something. But honestly the ripcord launchers for plastic gen were probably the best ripcord launchers they’ve ever made. No complaints from me.
@@nizumablader fair enough! I've gotten so used to the awful ripcord launchers from burst that my younger cousin plays with that I've forgotten the feeling of the original ones.
@@Karzikann yeah they feel totally different than the series that came after
i think the biggest difference from the plastic and metal anime series is that the plastic one focused a lot on the bit beasts, it was the coolest stuff from the anime, but in the meantime i don't remember them getting much into the beyblade's parts and gimmicks. the metal series focus a lot more into the beyblade's parts and gimmicks, while the bit beasts are mostly neglected (save for pegasus itself, which still doesn't get nearly as much attention as even a lesser notable bit beast like griffolyon)
The reason they don’t get mentioned in mfb is because they aren’t but beasts, where in plastic gen bit beasts were actual physical beings that would choose to fight along side a blader. The “spirits” in metal fight are a tangible thing like they are in plastic gen. Like how in the og series it was a big deal when someone summons a bit beast, the announcers acknowledge it. That never happens in metal fight. They are just this vague thing that isn’t really explained.
They did cover the parts in plastic gen, anytime a blader got a new bey or a new gimmick was introduced it was explained how it worked and how it would help them in battle etc.
@@nizumablader huh, guess my memory isn't the best then
but yeah, i agree
@@MasterSonicKnight the only reason I remember is because I’m rewatching it haha.

The best Gen
So nostalgic.
What were the strongest 3 blades out of the box for this generation? I would love to know.
Driger v2, driger s, and probably galeon or frostic dranzer/bistool if I had to guess.
This may be an odd request, but could you possibly have a guide on the best way(s) of obtaining Bakuten Shoot beys?? I found out about it around the same time I got into Metal Fight and Beyblade as a whole back in ~2012 and I've always had an admiration for the generation. I got the main season 1 cast of "S" beys for Christmas back in I believe 2018. I loved using just those 4 and I grew to love the gen even more but over time things broke and pieces were lost and it saddens me that the only one I can really use left out of the 4 is Driger S. Recently, I've been watching the anime in it's original Japanese form and it has been an amazing experience and I'm a little sad that I'm close to finishing it. Just this year I ordered a Burning Kerberous through ZenMarket as a birthday present for myself and it's lovely, one of my favorite beys that I own now. While I still want to collect all 3 gens (Burst being the most prominent in my collection right now, loosely followed by my 9 Metal Fight beys), I only have 2 Bakuten Shoot beys that I can really count as a part of my collection seeing as the other 3 have at least 1 broken part. I need to get more of these amazing, underrated gems.
Yes I plan on doing that soon!
Imo plastic gen had the best anime and combos, metal fight had the best designs and formulas and the fights, while idk anything about burst I hate their designs it feels like it's a load of gibberish.
i absolutely love plastic gen..... problem is that they've pretty much become collector's items at this point. i cant bear to let it rip after spending xxx dollars on my favorite plastic gen beyblade ):
Definitely less fragile than people give them credit for!
Plastic gen is my second favorite after metal
Let's go!
Love plastic gen and would love some vids on it
On it!
I agree with the points I this video
They are not priced the same, I agree with this video, but they are the most expensive beyblades. I can get ultimate Valkyrie for $30. And cosmic Pegasus for $55.
But the Dragoon I’m trying to get is $140.
On eBay maybe, I just bought 8 new in box beys for 10 dollars a piece, and the toysrus exclusive red dragoon v for 20 new in box.
Which dragoon are you looking for?
@@nizumablader Dragoon G
@@nizumablader also how are you getting them new in the box for so cheap? If you don’t mind me asking. Are you doing bids? Or are you getting lucky? I’ve just started getting into the plastic generation and I really want to start getting them.

Plastic gen is the toyline I go back and play with the most, soooo many combos! The bit chips were so cool I use my dragoon f bit on every combo just cause of sentimental 😊. The prices have shot up a bit though compared to like 2010 😅. Def agree on the anime im 30 and I can go back and watch og beyblade. Compared to like pokemon and dbz i cant re watch as an adult
Yeah prices can be expensive but I don’t think unreasonably do with the exception of a few. Stuff like Zeus is rediculous
@@nizumablader tbf im thinking of prices from like 2009/2010 makes sense things go up, a lot of the main cast beyblades went up. Also the HMS prices on ebay have gone crazy from what they used to be wish I didnt sell a bunch of my HMS beyblades 🤣

i grew up with plastic gen its what i started off with back in 2004 i had v force beys g rev beys and even the first beyblade beys i had a lot more memories with it then i did with the newer ones that's why plastic gen will always have a special place in my heart i prefer it over metal fight i never liked metal fight that much at all that's why i always played with my plastic gen beys when i was younger hope one day that plastic gen will come back fully it was an amazing time me and my school friends would always play with them at recess it brought all of us together when metal fight came around we didn't really talk about it at all we didn't like the series at all (no offence to the fans of the metal series)

Happy to bro!

Thanks bro!
I remember my dumbass had a draciel and put it up against a battle striker if you know what those are 😂 and behold the draciel Literally shattered. I was a kid tho so I thought the explosion was fun and funny, I just bought another one after that event but that’s one of my funniest experiences with the old beyblades.
Lol yeah blitz hits hard. Not surprised.
Plastic saga does it's best to be a great story while Metal saga tries to be a great art. In Plastic saga there is great emphasis on character development but the beys themselves don't have that much individuality. Dranzer has a mode change gimmick, Dragoon was the first reverse rotation bey but that's never given a big highlight in the show. Wheras the character development in Metal saga may not be as good, it is very poetic. And they beys have such individuality as if they themselves are characters.
The individuality of the beyblades in plastic gen is more focused on the fantasy elements of the bit beasts
@@nizumablader Yeah I really liked the lore behind bit beasts. In Metal saga they are mostly just treated as allegories but then again in many instances are shown to be real. They never explained that.
