Shout out to Negative Legend for his “What Happened to Beyblade” video! A lot of the informational parts of this video came from that th-cam.com/users/NmillDrescue
Billiam Hey some advice Watch beyblade burst , it's much better and the animation is really expensive you know lol, also..... Beyblades can be made by 3D print now, but the best part, you can make your own beyblade now, like everyone can play with the beyblade toys :3 But some people like Kevo and illnnuc made their own beyblades and the plastic beyblades have Metal on them now!, it's more awsome now!, and Beyblade plastic gen....well the animation was cheap due to the lack of money the producers had to pay to the Designers...so yea, beyblade burst is a HIT to the anime , instead of seeing the beyblades like in the anime look like they are not spinning , due to low quality..., but i agree with beyblade burst the most!, teaching us new things other beyblade series didn't show us, so yea, i recommend for you to watch the new series of beyblade :) it's better and the main character lost in the finals, that teaches us that not everyone can win...even if you mess up or an accident happends like your beyblade explodes/burst , that means, you gave it a nice battle though, it's what matters. Being #1 blader isn't important, but the most important is trying the best you can :) , that's what beyblade is about
cool story: my friend had metal beyblades that when they hit would spark and one day they sprayed the beyblades with cooking oil lets just say shit got awesome real fast
@@razorwave2250 it's a bootleg beyblade where the tip of the metal round has a substance that would spark real fire when in contact. that's shit is hard to launch because it's so heavy.
Wdym beyblade doesnt have imaginary monsters. In the beyblade metal series literally dragons and lions come out of the bey and destroy buildings and cities😂😂
Just saying that the only thing that there isn’t is them destroying buildings, other than that burst has some cool battles, fucking armored beasts, people being possesed by a spinning top… wait, what?
real bey bladers? you mean 10 year old kids than were in their mother's womb when original bey blade aired? The OG and original is far better than what came after, 'real' bladers are those that watched when it first came out.
Ace Younge This sum bs, the metal fight tv show is just cringe and lacks a good storyline. You call yourself a “Real” blader. Just some nostalgic imbecile wid zero bey knowledge.
These things were dangerous af. I remember launching these across the lunch table, frequently annihilating uncrustables, shamrock chocolate milk and fingers...
Back in MY day, you had to plug the Spin Gear into the Blade Base and use clips to hold it together, and add the Weight Disc and the Attack Ring. THEN you have to clip the Bit Chip on, and the Bit Protector for newer ones.
TH-cam has been recommending your videos to me all the time lately. So, y'know what? Imma just sub. Also ironically enough, I was in a Beyblade tournament once...and won. It was funny cos I remember someone having a ridiculously large unofficial Beyblade, but it was so huge that my little crappy one just went underneath and won. Good times.
No it was like, comically huge and clearly not an official beyblade product. It wasn't a highly regulated tournament, just something a local club was doing at the time, but was still decently big.
The Beyblade SHOW that I grew up with was Beyblade Metal Fury / Fusion or whatever. Cosmic Pegasus* for Life man... also the dragon dude's Beyblade actually did what it did in the show, it drained the other Beyblades power or whatever.
The "Dragon dude" is Ryuga and his bey is L-Drago. That bey got tons of evolutions. and it was ment to be a direct counterpart to Pegasus, Gingka's bey.
I remember we actually made our beyblades with little utility razors on the sides drilled into the plastic. The arenas got shredded after 3 fights lmao.
Those Beyblades can be weaponized (in that fictional world), but is never realized in the shows at all except for the fictional history in the Metal series (changing tide of seas, using beys in war, destroying whole islands which was what L-Drago was used for).
My friends and I played it right. One time my friends both let it rip at once and the beyblades collided in the air went back and hit the one friend in the balls. That's how you really win
I only remember sitting down and turning on Netflix to watch beyblade metal fusion because I was an early 2000 kid :| . I don’t remember much except that LDrago was the enemy’s beyblade and Pegasus was the main characters beyblade. I only remember one episode and they were in some construction suit. I do think I watched the whole series but me and my friends played the heck out of those things. And I either had a Pegasus mount or I hade the Pegasus beyblade. But I did enjoy playing it with my friends and it was a lot of fun 😄.
I'm actually surprised he didn't at least mention them, since they are a part of the bey-series even if it's a spin-off(?) from the main series of the show and toys/game
In my school we had these weird square tables that had 4 holes, 1 in each corner that everyone used to battle (If the beyblade stopped moving or fell in one of the holes, you lose). But there were some "hardcore" kids, that made their own beys or modified them to have a bike gears replacing the metal wheel, it made them extremely dangerous and created a fun light show with the sparks from the metal on metal friction. One time, my favorite bey lost the last battle in the unofficial school tournament by being launched of the arena into a wall, when I retrieved it, the plastic pin that holds everything together had snapped in half. Beyblade was crazy back then :D
It sounds like you lived the unofficial beyblade GX. Did the school really have there own stadiums? Like how some parks would have stationary checker board tables.
Can we all agree that the first beyblade theme song was epic and almost too catchy for its own good? Also anyone remember B-daman? Yknow the anime version of crossfire that was more epic.
I really liked the metal series because it had darker moments and I could feel for the characters a bit more than the og and burst. The bey battles weren't just tops fighting each other but the story and emotion behind the battles I feel impacts the viewer more.
I used to get in trouble in school for saying bakugan is shit I skated and rode stingray bikes and drank vault a game boy was all I needed back in 5th grade was most likely the kid with a flame shirt and stunk of spiker gel
I remember having a Dragoon one and my brother got a cheap nock off that was literally a third of the size... I kid you not, his instantly passed through mine and destroyed it to the point of no return
beyblade used to be bigger with attack disc and weight disk... even had customized weight disk with flint that produce sparks.. and back then had spring loaded trygle
Okay, gonna be perfectly honest? You were smart here. As a long-time beyblade fan since I was a kid, I get why it's stuck around and this is a perfect video for telling people about some of what's going on nowadays with the series. But, the anime series have gotten much better after the original seasons, the writing/animation's gotten a lot better and even much more successful as a franchise. Seriously, they print money as of the 3rd iteration 'burst' and have been stupidly successful for being so simple. If you cover this again, check out the Metal saga (2nd generation), it's financially the most profitable the series ever got.
The Metal Saga had a legit good anime. The problems he had with G revolution were fixed, and the character designs were so much better. Outside of a few bad VA's for the dub, ryouga's was particularly out of character, and the third season having 39 instead of 52 which left the last third of the season feel very fast, I can unironically say that I thoroughly enjoyed the metal saga, until shogun steel, but that was expected to be terrible from the start. I'm on the fence about burst though. From the 10 or so episodes I've watched, it seems a lot more like a traditional sports anime, which isn't a genre I tend to watch. Also the character designs took a step back for me, and I'm not a huge fan of Van's VA. I can't see her as anyone other than gao from buddy fight, and while I loved her performance in that, Gao had a much more responsible vibe to him, that he had a clear idea of who he was and his views in life even if he acted childish most of the time. Drum being his junior and learning from Gao, which led to him being a "rolemodel" instead of an audience surrogate, which Van is.
The metal saga really was better. You could tell they had their shit together during that time to Gingka. Even the sequal ZeroG wasnt that bad. Burst is a let down tho but personally the Meta Saga had the best anime and bey designs
Kaleb Sok For me its only the hype and the love I had as a kid that counts. And the og saga came out when I was like 7 or 8. It was the best time together with yugioh. I was too old for everything after. I was always Kai on the Playground and even had a black dranzer (?) later.
Billiam: Dosen't say anything about Beyblade metal series. Everybody who got Beyblade metal beyblades: Am I joke to you? Ui: OH MA GAD Thanks the 200 like! Ui: Thanks the 263 like!
Majorly. The series literally just took the concept of Metal Beyblades from the last arc of G-Revolution & rolled with it. Like, did Kenny & the girl from The All Stars ever become Rich for inventing the future model of standard Beyblades?
yeah man, those and all of the similar seasons that came after Jinga (i think that's how he was named) were the shit. I remember ordering the Japanese ones cuz Hasbro sucks and always winning cuz they were made better.
With my metal beyblades I managed to freeze a bowl and carve out my own arena for me and my friends to use. Good times. Also ripping the cord in half while trying to battle, great times.
My friend had a rock leone and it spun like 5x longer than every other beyblade. There was actually no way to win against him. Even a 5v1 would fail. Those were the good times.
ahaha i remember getting an earth eagle for xmas and my parents spent so long looking for one since they were in high demand. i wrecked all the other kids though :p
i got one imported from korea that was like 2 seasons ahead of the western shows, the one with the ball bearings in it. i fucked everyone on my fourth grade playground so hard
It was massive at my school, we used sandpit bowls for the arena and like 50 bayblades. Then some little shit got them banned for launching them into people's faces...
Beyblade does have imaginary monsters. They are called bit beasts. Dranzer, digger, draseal and dragoon. This show is amazing and has taught me many things
I remember I got into Beyblade when Metal Fusion came out. I temember my first Beyblades were actually from the original series where they were mostly plastic and hurt lile hell to grab when spinning. Honestly love both series. Almost tempted to start collecting the new burst series.
Negative Legend yeah, your video was trash and only followed an unofficial person who uses the incorrect term. If I were you dude, if you’re going to make a video at least know what the series is and if you watched it before when it was released in North America back in 2002. Also: I saw your pathetic beyblade Burst game review and talked about how I was being an “asshole” to that dumb kid zankye that was ridiculous and the most idiotic thing to show on your channel. YOU’RE the asshole who showed that comment that nobody gives a rats ass to show on TH-cam.
Let me just start by saying I love your channel and since discovering you I've secretly tried to emulate your style a bit in my own videos, BUT I feel like a lot of this critique could also be applied to other shows. -You said you couldn't root for Tyson in the tournament cause it was too early in the series to like him. In Pokemon, Ash was battling for gym badges as early as episode 5. -You said you didn't like the action sequences cause they took a real thing and just added monsters and voice commands to make it more exciting, but isn't that basically what the Yu-Gi-Oh did with Yu-Gi-Oh cards? -You said some of the cards from the Beyblade TCG were dumb sounding, but the Pokemon TCG has trainer cards with names like 'Gust of Wind', 'TV Reporter' and 'Good Manners'. I could probably go on. I ain't saying Beyblade is gold standard Oscar material, but this seems like a situation where the franchise seemed way worse to you cause you had no real nostalgia lenses altering your vision.
Oh yea, like I said it's not amazing. But the first series of Pokemon is a complete mess also. Ash watches a Pokemon on TV in one episode then has no idea what that Pokemon is when he encounters it in real life a few episodes later. Ash's cluelessness was an excuse for exposition but it made for some dumb stuff happening. Billiam watched Pokemon as a kid though so his nostalgia kinda blurs out the errors. It happens to all of us.
If I recall Beyblade Metal Fusion had a somewhat decent anime adaptation, with not a good story by any means but leagues above the original adaptation.
You should watch the "most popular version" of Beyblade, the Beyblade Metal Fusion, Metal Masters, and Metal Fury. They are actually really good. No like seriously. Watch them. Actually. I'm not kidding.
YT ber haha “good, most popular version”. No they weren’t kid. The metal saga is a mediocre anime series with serious flaws. It wasn’t even a good beyblade series. The original beyblade trilogy is the better beyblade series, but isn’t perfect.
YT ber it’s a huge improvement over the metal saga because it DOESN’T repeat the same shit we’ve seen in the original beyblade. The metal saga isn’t as good as the original trilogy.
I’m kind of saddened that when you were talking about the anime you only got to episode 6. There was some misrepresentation with how you described it. Yes, Beyblade has the “Beysharks” as the bad guys at the beginning, however it gets completely disbanded after Tyson beats Kai in episode 7. I think the main goal of this first arc was meant to establish the characters. We also do see Tyson work hard to get to where he is. Episode 1 we see him lengthen his rip chord and figures out a different way to shoot his Beyblade. It’s a bit dramatic, but the way he does it reminds me very much of the “Sliding Shot” launch, which is achieved by sliding your launcher forward. Considering Tyson’s Bey is an attack type as he prefers it, this is a very valid strategy. It makes a Beyblade spin in a flower-like pattern rather than around the outer ring of the stadium. Attack types rely on knocking out the other Beyblade as fast as possible because they generally don’t have great stamina. Episode 3 sees Tyson using a predictable approach to battling when up against Max. He invents a new way to shoot his Beyblade once more creating a fantastical “super move” which allows his bey to appear invisible. During the BBA tournament we do see how much stronger he’s gotten. He uses the obstacle stadium to his advantage and even knocks Kai off guard in their battle, which shows he’s become less predictable. Personally, I do think that his battles are earned. There’s always Kenny/the chief who’s always stressing over Beyblade performance and tries his hardest to keep the team up to par with the competition. The guy’s the true hero on the side lines. Also, I guess now would be a good time to let you know that characters like Dizzy don’t exist in the Japanese version. There’s a lot to talk about, but I myself am rewatching the series in its entirety, so I still don’t know everything. Also bit beasts are sort of portrayed as captured spirits in the English dub, but it’s more like an avatar for the character’s fighting spirit. Much of this show is tournament after tournament and each one tests the team in different ways. The 4kids dub is more radical wow wacky 90’s, but I’d argue that it’s still a lot of fun. The music is bangin’. If you like music such as “Can’t Stop the Rock” by Apollo 440 or “Name of the Game” by Crystal Method to name a few, you’ll like it. Lyrics be damned, but I still love them. The Japanese version is much more straight-faced with what it has to offer. I have a feeling you’d like the characters a little bit more in that version. The music for this one was by Yoshida Horino who composed for things like Final Fantasy 7, Hunter x Hunter, and Deathnote. I’m not asking for a redo or anything like that. Heck, I’m glad you gave it a chance at all. Thank you! This series surprised me back in 2015 when I watched it all the way through for my first time. I think the general consensus is that season 1, Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, is good, Season 2, V Force, is very meh, and Season 3, G Revolution, is also good. Once again, thanks, Billiam! Sorry this is so long!
i agree completley! have you seen japanese bakugan! so much more magic and lore than the english version. and i keep feeling the twinge of censorship in the english version for some reason
Fun fact :the entire metal beyblade series is on youtube, and that series is pretty fun, if you could excuse the times the voice acting gets a bit wonky at time.
I am highly, highly _suspicious_ of the fact that you have made videos covering close to all of my childhood interests. I wouldn't be surprised if Yu-gi-oh or, like, JEEZ, fuckin Gogo's Crazy Bones or something would be covered at some point as well. But for real though, keep it up, you're making real quality stuff!
I truly hope Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't get covered. I trust Billiam to do well, but typically OG fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh series tend to show a sense of saltiness for the game's current state, and it gives modern Yu-Gi-Oh a bad rep.
I used to own 2 beyblades, the expensive high quality kind of beyblades. Even managed to completely destroy one cheap knockoff beyblade one of my classmates had back then. His mom got pissed because of that so I had to buy him a new one.
@@takashikamiyama4607 the metal beys are the most valuable beys, your beys can cost more than hundreds rn. also i think it is bs that they boughta beyblade that is cheap. obivously the bey was made for it to battle and if the bey broke, should be theor fault.
I remember when I was 7 and my friend's older brother convinced me that beyblades could use special abilities if you shouted something like "thunder-dash"
Oh my gosh, B-Daman. I remember it on Jetix! "In ancient times, a challenge was made, a sport of honor so many have played, through all the highs and lows, victories or disasters only the best could be called B-DA CHAMPIONS! B-DAMAN!"🎶🎶🎤
The original Beyblade has always been an oddball, it's the sequels V-Force and G-Revolution that where dbz levels of hype. Not to mention the OST is flames, like for real listen to a few.
I remember my little brothers being into Beyblade so I bought one to play with them. I bought the thickest looking honker with the "high defense" stat. It was the green one and I liked green. We went to play and mine literally broke all of their tops almost instantly. I felt bad. Like, that burst thing? That, but with plastic shrapnel.
Metal Saga was NOT the OG. The first series was just called Beyblade and came out in 2000. Metal Saga was 2009. And Burst has a much better voice cast.
Shoulda watched the V-Force anime series. They had an abandoned island ark, and this antagonist who would no joke STEAL OTHER BIT BEASTS. That was intense. And emotional.
I went on a massive research binge for both beyblade & beigoma. The strategy, physics, and the engineering that goes into both these hobbies is really impressive
Personally I thought Metal Fusion, Master, and Fury were good. The toys were even more customizable and it felt good to try and collect as many as you could. As for the anime, I felt like it could have been waaay better. I'm more ways than just plot and whatever. For example, the anime had its dark moments, like Reiji who controlled Poison Serpent and literally shredded other blader's beys with his own. Or when Tsubasa faced Ryuga and became possessed by a dark force. The anime could have been so much cooler if it had more of this. Yeah it was a kids show and toy, but I like to think about what if they targeted it towards an older audience. For me Beyblade's appeal lies in its potential and what it *could* have been. The end of Metal Fury touched more on that, with an 'end of the world' scenario that was both awesome yet unsatisfying in the end. Also I wanna know what happened to Twisted Tempo...that was a serious let down for me. But all in all Beyblade was something that could habe been more than it was and is. Frankly they should have never done Shogun Steel or Beywheels, and I get that Burst is trying to be like the original, but it just doesn't feel like it is what it wants to be.
Zichi Hammertail I was mad with Zero G because Gingka wasn’t main anymore, but I said WAS; now I’m used to Anime Changing the main character for some reason smh
Twisted tempo is sunk down in the ocean.No one is using arrangements and without them,bladers like Tobi and Zeo cant use their beys.ITs kind of a time thing.Just watch Zeo vs Ryuga and imagine Zeo losing control over byxis more over the time,same with tempo,it just cant be used anymore without arrangement and someone who would fit the arrangement values
@@csgo6191 That really is a shame. Though I imagine if they HAD been able to keep their beys, having Twisted Tempo would have been too powerful against Nemesis. I wonder if Nemesis would have even been able to copy a bey like that.
Other dark moments I like to think about are when Jack and Kyoya went insane. Imagine if Jack had used Befall to kill people. Or if Rock/Fang Leone used its power to pick people up in its tornadoes and flung them when he got pissed. Even better, what if Hades Kerbecs melted beys? The potential was there and I loved that.
If you haven't seen it, you ought to check out Beyblade Burst, its genuinely enjoyable, not ironically like every other beyblade series. The world is a bit silly, but there's no bs remote control or straight up magic, and the plot doesn't revolve around the end of the world or the beyblades themselves, to the show its more of a sport for the characters to enjoy, and it takes full advantage of it. It's a lot like Haikyu or Free, and the animation is just as pretty imo.
As much as I enjoy the Beyblade Burst anime, I cannot enjoy Chouzetsu lol. If they were going to use a different MC they should've have made him a carbon copy of Valt. However, I would agree with the first two seasons being really enjoyable.
THEHEATBLAZE hahaha, no it’s not kid. The original trilogy is better than the garbage metal saga. The metal saga is a mediocre anime series with serious flaws.
Bakugan got cancelled in the US while it lasted another 4 years in Japan before being rebooted. And it was not a quick death in the US, it was a long, drawn out decline between B3 and B5. We didn't even GET Bakutech or Bakuarmor here.
freaking beyblade Grevolution is my shit dude. That anime was the best season and the prime of beyblade due to the over the top battles. When they introduced the hard metal system i flipped lol
I watched the cartoon series. I thought about rewatching it a couple years ago but then didnt. I never had any toys for it. I almost bought some gameboy color games for it from wal-mart once upon a time if i remember right. I wound up getting Zelda Oracle of Ages though. I had never played a zelda and really wanted to.
If a show can't hook your attention within the first 10 episodes, then the writers have failed at basic writing and the show is not worth watching. Some of the best animes only have around 20 episodes. If you have to wait 50 episode for something to finally get good then your time would have been better spent watching two shorter anime series.
He only watched 6. He said the battles were boring so why was it so popular before and probably still is today. And honestly it was so ignorant to compare beybkade to Pokémon.
I mean i dont think he'll give much more of a shit about it if he cant get through 10 episodes. especially when its future sequel show and pokemon do so much better.
I still remember my elementary friends thinking we were so cool whenever somebody got a little cut on their finger from grabbing their beyblade. So hardcore.
I only remember two things about the Beyblade anime: The first was a scene from a random episode where the main characters are training in someone's backyard and one of them kinda fucks up so another one punches a tree and yells "THAT WAS TOTALLY PATHETIC!!" The only reason I remember that scene was because it was in all the promos. The second thing I remember was a plot point where one character ends up being an android recreation of a kid that the kid's father made because the original kid died in some kind of accident.
@Billiam I think you can check out the series after the initial Beyblade, titled 'Metal FIght Beyblade'. It was a series more focused on the aspect of building the beyblade itself. They had a Beyblade which spined counter-clockwise and had things that dealt with the centrifugal force of the blade. eg. they had this middle section which had 2 decented weighted balls encapsulated which will spin closer to the body of the beyblade as it slows down and help mantain a longer stamina etc. (The beyblade was called Libra). Pretty cool stuff honestly. It feels more strategic than just yelling at the beyblade.
I remember when we had 1st gen beyblades in school and someone brought a huge metal ring beyblade from japan and it destroyed everyones beyblade. Then I glued two or three normal weight rings together to beat it lol.
@No Chance Without Pasta oh, my only metal fight bey, the one i got a long time ago to see what the fuss was about (Thermal Lacerta) had it's tip shatter when I launched it from 8-ish steps from a staircase (maybe the top) trying to recreate that high jump shot valt does.
Oh yeah Beyblade is still alive and kickin, last year I worked at a kindergarten for about half a year and some of the older boys (5-6) had a bit of Beyblade craze for a month or so, turns out the newest Beyblade anime had just started airing so no wonder.
I remember the old ones being kind of dangerous. They were pretty heavy, those metal rings stuck out and sometimes had scythe like protrusions, and they had a habit of flying out of the arena at high speed. I remember blood being drawn a few times.
I remember the original burst type Bayblades that ejected the top part with the character sticker, so you can get them in the eye. They got recalled, because they are unsafe.
Beyblades... then Medabots... then Gundam... and finally... ZOIDS! Please do a review on Zoids. I loved the show growing up and, to me, it never got the credit it deserved. It was almost overshadowed by the more popular anime shows in the late 1990s/early 2000s like DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Digimon and Transformers: Armada.
I looked up Zoids because I couldn't remember what it was, but it sounded oddly familiar. I found, in Google images, a toy of that white sabretooth cat, and that brought back memories from the deepest corner of my mind; memories I had lost more than a decade and a half ago. It may not be that long, but it was a LONG time ago, when I was 5-8 years old or something, and I'm 23. I LOVED this toy, the aesthetic alone was mind-blowingly epic to me. I even remember the little cockpit opening up and allowing you to place a little plastic man inside, and there were a lot of moving parts. I don't remember much of the show, but I do remember liking it, hence the toy. Anyways, sorry for the long post, but thanks for bringing up such beautiful memories. I don't remember much from the childhood, so thanks. The Zoids were my Voltron.
@@AdonanS lol man I recently had a reencounter with zoids and realized there is so much more to the series than what I remembered and now im a 24 year old dude hunting down zoids to make a collection of my favorites.
Since I don’t think anyone every brought it up, the voice actor for Ray and Kai we’re both in Mean Girls David Reale (Kai) was Glen Coco Daniel De Sonto (Ray) was the guy that asked Lindsay Lohan if he could butter her muffin.
As cheesy as it is the first three seasons of Beyblade were my favorite. Tyson/Takao and his friends were fun to see interact, the music in the English dub I actually enjoyed, and I feel like I'm the only one who actually knows how to play the GBA G-Revolution game. Like, people seem to forget they could do special moves and it makes the battles much quicker so it becomes less tedious.
I loved the G revolution game I played it so much. And yeah the special moves were so good. When you charged all the way to red delivered the hit, and then unleashed that special fury of attacks ❤️
Anyone remember the two Beyblade spin offs? There was bey wheels and bey riders. Bey wheelss was tolerable while bey riders was awful. Both were basically beyblade but not. Bey wheels was bey blade with wheels and bey riders was bey blade with little car things.
PurpleLemonDoesStuff Ok so at the end of the bey wheels anime they went into a seperate dimension or world or whatever that takes place there. It sucked because we only ever saw like half the cast from the original bey wheels anime and then the animators weren't even bothered to put in background characters. So the plat of bey riders was to collect magic bey riders to save the world from an ultimate evil. But again no background characters so who the hell ate they saving?
Beyblade actually never stopped after it was brought back for Metal Fusion. They had something going on all the way from 2009 until now. There was a hiatus between the end of the original in 2004 and the start of Metal Fusion in '09, but it's been so popular since then that they never slowed down.
Shout out to Negative Legend for his “What Happened to Beyblade” video! A lot of the informational parts of this video came from that
th-cam.com/users/NmillDrescue
That's were i came from XD
Yubie funkies
Billiam O
i would recommend watching the metal series in order Metal Fusion Metal Masters and the last one Metal Fury it is much better
Billiam
Hey some advice
Watch beyblade burst , it's much better and the animation is really expensive you know lol, also.....
Beyblades can be made by 3D print now, but the best part, you can make your own beyblade now, like everyone can play with the beyblade toys :3
But some people like Kevo and illnnuc made their own beyblades and the plastic beyblades have Metal on them now!, it's more awsome now!, and Beyblade plastic gen....well the animation was cheap due to the lack of money the producers had to pay to the Designers...so yea, beyblade burst is a HIT to the anime , instead of seeing the beyblades like in the anime look like they are not spinning , due to low quality..., but i agree with beyblade burst the most!, teaching us new things other beyblade series didn't show us, so yea, i recommend for you to watch the new series of beyblade :) it's better and the main character lost in the finals, that teaches us that not everyone can win...even if you mess up or an accident happends like your beyblade explodes/burst , that means, you gave it a nice battle though, it's what matters. Being #1 blader isn't important, but the most important is trying the best you can :) , that's what beyblade is about
I remember feeling so goddam ashamed when I yelled orders at my beyblade and my friends looked at me in disbelief.
Mary Marcoux that’s how you show dominance
Why would you yell orders to beys you just let them spin and wait untill you win or lose
@@oceanrai3605 Because thats what they did in the anime. I was 7 years old
And whats wrong with that exactly?
Lmaoooo
cool story:
my friend had metal beyblades that when they hit would spark and one day they
sprayed the beyblades with cooking oil
lets just say shit got awesome real fast
😂😂😂😂😂
What beys were they? Metal Fight beys or MS
@@razorwave2250 it's a bootleg beyblade where the tip of the metal round has a substance that would spark real fire when in contact.
that's shit is hard to launch because it's so heavy.
edit: the substance was a magnesium flint's tip, that's why when it's in contact with metal in high velocity it would spark flames.
OMG!! I should have tried it. I was just fascinated by the sparks.
Wdym beyblade doesnt have imaginary monsters. In the beyblade metal series literally dragons and lions come out of the bey and destroy buildings and cities😂😂
Yeah, he only watched the first 6 episodes. He didn't see when it started to get all Kaiju fights. Which Metal Saga had from the first episode.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio We see Pegasus' full form in episode 1.
Yeah, both the original and metal has those stuff.
Reminder that in the Metal Fusion era Moses _parted the Red Sea_ with a Beyblade.
Just saying that the only thing that there isn’t is them destroying buildings, other than that burst has some cool battles, fucking armored beasts, people being possesed by a spinning top… wait, what?
Nah, the real Bey Bladers experienced the Metal Fusion era. We never went outside without our launchers ready to settle any beef 💯 Stay strapped 😤
real bey bladers? you mean 10 year old kids than were in their mother's womb when original bey blade aired?
The OG and original is far better than what came after, 'real' bladers are those that watched when it first came out.
xBullet isgod nigga stfu 😂😂😂 I was makin a joke n you out here actin like we in the anime world or some shit LMAO
Hey I was 8 when the og came out and trust me metal fusion was wayyyy better
Used to be a Savage and hand spin my rock leone. Never went ANYWHERE without it. litterally everybody had one
Ace Younge This sum bs, the metal fight tv show is just cringe and lacks a good storyline. You call yourself a “Real” blader. Just some nostalgic imbecile wid zero bey knowledge.
Funfact: in the canon moses split the red sea with a beyblade

He isn't wrong, it is shown in one of the episodes
Whaaaaaaat xD Okay, my mind is blown, period.
Which season was this episode in, though?

I love how this comment is right under another comment saying "A real beyblade is made out of metal." by a guy pretending to be God.
This was from beyblade metal fusion
Watched OG beyblade, the entire Metal Fusion Saga...
HAH those were the days...
yes...
Yeah i still buy those for my collection

And fingers?
And fingers.
I got hit in the nuts by one.
good times
I broke stadiums with them
Only 3 parts? Back in my day you had to assemble the Beyblade from scratch, including the screw that holds everything in place.
Yep
The lil wrench thingy too
The bootleg set had you putting in the most work.
@@UnwovenSleeve we still have like 20 of those things lying around
Back in MY day, you had to plug the Spin Gear into the Blade Base and use clips to hold it together, and add the Weight Disc and the Attack Ring. THEN you have to clip the Bit Chip on, and the Bit Protector for newer ones.
TH-cam has been recommending your videos to me all the time lately. So, y'know what?
Imma just sub.
Also ironically enough, I was in a Beyblade tournament once...and won. It was funny cos I remember someone having a ridiculously large unofficial Beyblade, but it was so huge that my little crappy one just went underneath and won. Good times.
unofficial? Like they made their own mix?
Make a new video man
No, like they made their own custom parts/a whole, custom beyblade consisting of no parts
No it was like, comically huge and clearly not an official beyblade product. It wasn't a highly regulated tournament, just something a local club was doing at the time, but was still decently big.
I remember there being a giant beyblade in one of the animes and it was taken out in the same way that you described
omg a holographic grandpa i must buy this now
Just watch Star Wars
Fun fact Billiam spent $250 on that Holographic Grandpa at a small town game shop 3 hours away.
I was thinking the same thing! The card game looks ridiculous but FOIL GRANDPA PEOPLE!

The Beyblade SHOW that I grew up with was Beyblade Metal Fury / Fusion or whatever. Cosmic Pegasus* for Life man... also the dragon dude's Beyblade actually did what it did in the show, it drained the other Beyblades power or whatever.
Benjamin Brown *HELL YA*
The "Dragon dude" is Ryuga and his bey is L-Drago. That bey got tons of evolutions. and it was ment to be a direct counterpart to Pegasus, Gingka's bey.

Real men use sharpened steel beyblades. It's not cool unless someone get's their throat slit.

The streets of New York were scary back then, when the gangs carried Beyblades
Those Beyblades can be weaponized (in that fictional world), but is never realized in the shows at all except for the fictional history in the Metal series (changing tide of seas, using beys in war, destroying whole islands which was what L-Drago was used for).
Who remembers bakugan?

Beyblade metal series was sick until shogun steel came

Yeah I actually liked zero g (my favorite Beyblade came from it)
yup
The Beyblades themselves were actually pretty good, and used the same Spin Tracks and Tips. The anime though...
My god the anime don’t even...
My friends and I played it right. One time my friends both let it rip at once and the beyblades collided in the air went back and hit the one friend in the balls. That's how you really win
That has happend to me before
Some guy at my school hot glued razor blades to his bey.

I only remember sitting down and turning on Netflix to watch beyblade metal fusion because I was an early 2000 kid :| . I don’t remember much except that LDrago was the enemy’s beyblade and Pegasus was the main characters beyblade. I only remember one episode and they were in some construction suit. I do think I watched the whole series but me and my friends played the heck out of those things. And I either had a Pegasus mount or I hade the Pegasus beyblade. But I did enjoy playing it with my friends and it was a lot of fun 😄.
Metal Fusion didn't come out until 2009.

BeyBlade: Metal Fusion, episode 13 “L-Drago Awakens” at about 2 minutes after episode title screen.
Beyblade was the *shit* in school
It was so popular in my school, we literally made an OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT
I had a beyblade that kicked ass and i still remever the parts that i used
I remember having Beyblade tournaments at summer camp. I think I still have some and Watching Beyblade Metal Fury. That was a pretty cool show.
@@roquejo6194 we did it too in 1st and 2nd grade
and still is
In my school we had these weird square tables that had 4 holes, 1 in each corner that everyone used to battle (If the beyblade stopped moving or fell in one of the holes, you lose).
But there were some "hardcore" kids, that made their own beys or modified them to have a bike gears replacing the metal wheel, it made them extremely dangerous and created a fun light show with the sparks from the metal on metal friction.
One time, my favorite bey lost the last battle in the unofficial school tournament by being launched of the arena into a wall, when I retrieved it, the plastic pin that holds everything together had snapped in half.
Beyblade was crazy back then :D
It sounds like you lived the unofficial beyblade GX. Did the school really have there own stadiums? Like how some parks would have stationary checker board tables.
@@RetroIsaac I really don't know what those tables wore used for, we just decided to use them.
Can we all agree that the first beyblade theme song was epic and almost too catchy for its own good?
Also anyone remember B-daman? Yknow the anime version of crossfire that was more epic.
I played the f**** out that series with a friend of mine
Seirra Moon Finally! a B-Daman comment!
Same here.
I remember losing all those marble
With Yamato or the blue haired kid?
I really liked the metal series because it had darker moments and I could feel for the characters a bit more than the og and burst. The bey battles weren't just tops fighting each other but the story and emotion behind the battles I feel impacts the viewer more.
This man reviewing my childhood.
By your picture, I think you still are a kid
Yeah he just has to review bakugon and he’s covered mine
And insulting it I assume.
Quinton Craig that goes without saying
I used to get in trouble in school for saying bakugan is shit I skated and rode stingray bikes and drank vault a game boy was all I needed back in 5th grade was most likely the kid with a flame shirt and stunk of spiker gel
I remember having a Dragoon one and my brother got a cheap nock off that was literally a third of the size... I kid you not, his instantly passed through mine and destroyed it to the point of no return
Beyblades's real fanbase: physicists
No, its : people who need to get out more.
Beyblade really is just physics
beyblade used to be bigger with attack disc and weight disk... even had customized weight disk with flint that produce sparks..

Yeah and they used to be heavier and had more metal in their construction. Now they're basically all plastic and flimsy af.
@@82christos there was a period where there was a smaller all-metal beyblades
Okay, gonna be perfectly honest? You were smart here. As a long-time beyblade fan since I was a kid, I get why it's stuck around and this is a perfect video for telling people about some of what's going on nowadays with the series. But, the anime series have gotten much better after the original seasons, the writing/animation's gotten a lot better and even much more successful as a franchise. Seriously, they print money as of the 3rd iteration 'burst' and have been stupidly successful for being so simple. If you cover this again, check out the Metal saga (2nd generation), it's financially the most profitable the series ever got.
The Metal Saga had a legit good anime. The problems he had with G revolution were fixed, and the character designs were so much better. Outside of a few bad VA's for the dub, ryouga's was particularly out of character, and the third season having 39 instead of 52 which left the last third of the season feel very fast, I can unironically say that I thoroughly enjoyed the metal saga, until shogun steel, but that was expected to be terrible from the start.
I'm on the fence about burst though. From the 10 or so episodes I've watched, it seems a lot more like a traditional sports anime, which isn't a genre I tend to watch. Also the character designs took a step back for me, and I'm not a huge fan of Van's VA. I can't see her as anyone other than gao from buddy fight, and while I loved her performance in that, Gao had a much more responsible vibe to him, that he had a clear idea of who he was and his views in life even if he acted childish most of the time. Drum being his junior and learning from Gao, which led to him being a "rolemodel" instead of an audience surrogate, which Van is.
Fox Rose Hell no, OG Beyblade is still the best!
Hendrick Anton im not saying it's bad, Im saying in comparison to the newer stuff there are things that appeal to all groups.
The metal saga really was better. You could tell they had their shit together during that time to Gingka. Even the sequal ZeroG wasnt that bad. Burst is a let down tho but personally the Meta Saga had the best anime and bey designs
Kaleb Sok For me its only the hype and the love I had as a kid that counts. And the og saga came out when I was like 7 or 8. It was the best time together with yugioh. I was too old for everything after. I was always Kai on the Playground and even had a black dranzer (?) later.
Billiam: Dosen't say anything about Beyblade metal series.
Everybody who got Beyblade metal beyblades: Am I joke to you?
Ui: OH MA GAD Thanks the 200 like!
Ui: Thanks the 263 like!
They are a joke.
Majorly.
The series literally just took the concept of Metal Beyblades from the last arc of G-Revolution & rolled with it.
Like, did Kenny & the girl from The All Stars ever become Rich for inventing the future model of standard Beyblades?
@@demivolt7936 Im one of them 😁
yeah man, those and all of the similar seasons that came after Jinga (i think that's how he was named) were the shit. I remember ordering the Japanese ones cuz Hasbro sucks and always winning cuz they were made better.
With my metal beyblades I managed to freeze a bowl and carve out my own arena for me and my friends to use. Good times. Also ripping the cord in half while trying to battle, great times.
My friend had a rock leone and it spun like 5x longer than every other beyblade. There was actually no way to win against him. Even a 5v1 would fail.
Those were the good times.
I always used Earth Eagle to win pretty much ALL of my matches. Lol wide defense tips were king back in the day.
ahaha i remember getting an earth eagle for xmas and my parents spent so long looking for one since they were in high demand. i wrecked all the other kids though :p
i got one imported from korea that was like 2 seasons ahead of the western shows, the one with the ball bearings in it. i fucked everyone on my fourth grade playground so hard
I used the leon that can change modes with the wide defence tips
It was massive at my school, we used sandpit bowls for the arena and like 50 bayblades. Then some little shit got them banned for launching them into people's faces...
Beyblade does have imaginary monsters. They are called bit beasts. Dranzer, digger, draseal and dragoon. This show is amazing and has taught me many things
The bit beasts are more of a gimmick while the "spirits" in the metal series is more of Yu-gi-ohish
Remeber the Alternate version of each beyblade. Tyson Dragoon vs Dragoon machine thingy lol Etc...

I dunno, this video seems _REALLY_ familiar if you ask me (and better than what I do).
Howdy
The self shade!
(I love your videos)
Love your videos man
I like yours better
Negative Legend yeah, your video was trash and only followed an unofficial person who uses the incorrect term. If I were you dude, if you’re going to make a video at least know what the series is and if you watched it before when it was released in North America back in 2002. Also: I saw your pathetic beyblade Burst game review and talked about how I was being an “asshole” to that dumb kid zankye that was ridiculous and the most idiotic thing to show on your channel. YOU’RE the asshole who showed that comment that nobody gives a rats ass to show on TH-cam.
A real beyblade is made out of metal.
At this point, beyblade burst doesn't even burst and is getting heavier and havier.
@@_AniWatch You sure about that? I see Burst Finishes all the time when I play, and while Cho-Z might be heavier they still burst often enough.
N-no
There is no real beyblade all official beys are real.
That statement makes no sense.
LET IT MCFRIGGN RIP
I’m a 22 year old playing with his 8 year old brother beyblade and it’s oddly fun
Let me just start by saying I love your channel and since discovering you I've secretly tried to emulate your style a bit in my own videos, BUT I feel like a lot of this critique could also be applied to other shows.
-You said you couldn't root for Tyson in the tournament cause it was too early in the series to like him. In Pokemon, Ash was battling for gym badges as early as episode 5.
-You said you didn't like the action sequences cause they took a real thing and just added monsters and voice commands to make it more exciting, but isn't that basically what the Yu-Gi-Oh did with Yu-Gi-Oh cards?
-You said some of the cards from the Beyblade TCG were dumb sounding, but the Pokemon TCG has trainer cards with names like 'Gust of Wind', 'TV Reporter' and 'Good Manners'.
I could probably go on. I ain't saying Beyblade is gold standard Oscar material, but this seems like a situation where the franchise seemed way worse to you cause you had no real nostalgia lenses altering your vision.
Friggin Boom Toys yeah probably, lol. Also I appreciate the kind words!
The action and of the first series is disjointed, poorly directed, and paced. It's really hard to sit through.
I have a problem with the Pokemon cause the gym battles are part of build up for the pokemon legend.
Oh yea, like I said it's not amazing. But the first series of Pokemon is a complete mess also. Ash watches a Pokemon on TV in one episode then has no idea what that Pokemon is when he encounters it in real life a few episodes later. Ash's cluelessness was an excuse for exposition but it made for some dumb stuff happening. Billiam watched Pokemon as a kid though so his nostalgia kinda blurs out the errors. It happens to all of us.
Please realize that the American Dub is legit garbage and the setting and pace of the japanese series is way way better.
Beyblade!? What about bakugan!!! I still have my giant figures of the main characters's monsters. The giant red dragon and Preyaz!!
Preyaz is the best!
Yes!
I also remember the DS game where you could buy bakugans using ungame money, customize them, and do everything!
I think the game was battle brawlers. Yeah. On DS. And yes it might've been a rippof. Maybe, maybe not. But bakugan was my childhood!
Beatzie Graham I remember the Wii game. That was fun. Also had some of the toys. Never watched more than a few episodes of the show.
If I recall Beyblade Metal Fusion had a somewhat decent anime adaptation, with not a good story by any means but leagues above the original adaptation.

are you dumb lmaoooooo. Beyblade g revolution has better reviews than any metal season
@@roddur1000 im not stupid, i just watched that one as it was the only version on TV, does watching a certain season of a show make me stupid?
@@151TheMew Shit I replied to the wrong person Lmaooo my bad bro
My favorites were the metal saga and somewhat enjoyed shogun steel
Keep in mind it’s my opinion
Thank you for being kind and civil. :)
In my opinion metal saga is the better one compared to shogun steel
You should watch the "most popular version" of Beyblade, the Beyblade Metal Fusion, Metal Masters, and Metal Fury. They are actually really good. No like seriously. Watch them. Actually. I'm not kidding.
YT ber haha “good, most popular version”. No they weren’t kid. The metal saga is a mediocre anime series with serious flaws. It wasn’t even a good beyblade series. The original beyblade trilogy is the better beyblade series, but isn’t perfect.
I hate weeaboos They were the most successful and popular ones. The Burst series and community is dead so yeah
우형 the burst community isn’t dead are you okay dude. Yeah, not a lot people are talking about it, but it’s still popular with new comers aka kids.
I hate weeaboos i watch(ed) burst too and it was good but still not as good as thr metal series
YT ber it’s a huge improvement over the metal saga because it DOESN’T repeat the same shit we’ve seen in the original beyblade. The metal saga isn’t as good as the original trilogy.
I’m kind of saddened that when you were talking about the anime you only got to episode 6. There was some misrepresentation with how you described it. Yes, Beyblade has the “Beysharks” as the bad guys at the beginning, however it gets completely disbanded after Tyson beats Kai in episode 7. I think the main goal of this first arc was meant to establish the characters.
We also do see Tyson work hard to get to where he is. Episode 1 we see him lengthen his rip chord and figures out a different way to shoot his Beyblade. It’s a bit dramatic, but the way he does it reminds me very much of the “Sliding Shot” launch, which is achieved by sliding your launcher forward. Considering Tyson’s Bey is an attack type as he prefers it, this is a very valid strategy. It makes a Beyblade spin in a flower-like pattern rather than around the outer ring of the stadium. Attack types rely on knocking out the other Beyblade as fast as possible because they generally don’t have great stamina.
Episode 3 sees Tyson using a predictable approach to battling when up against Max. He invents a new way to shoot his Beyblade once more creating a fantastical “super move” which allows his bey to appear invisible.
During the BBA tournament we do see how much stronger he’s gotten. He uses the obstacle stadium to his advantage and even knocks Kai off guard in their battle, which shows he’s become less predictable. Personally, I do think that his battles are earned.
There’s always Kenny/the chief who’s always stressing over Beyblade performance and tries his hardest to keep the team up to par with the competition. The guy’s the true hero on the side lines.
Also, I guess now would be a good time to let you know that characters like Dizzy don’t exist in the Japanese version. There’s a lot to talk about, but I myself am rewatching the series in its entirety, so I still don’t know everything. Also bit beasts are sort of portrayed as captured spirits in the English dub, but it’s more like an avatar for the character’s fighting spirit.
Much of this show is tournament after tournament and each one tests the team in different ways.
The 4kids dub is more radical wow wacky 90’s, but I’d argue that it’s still a lot of fun. The music is bangin’. If you like music such as “Can’t Stop the Rock” by Apollo 440 or “Name of the Game” by Crystal Method to name a few, you’ll like it. Lyrics be damned, but I still love them. The Japanese version is much more straight-faced with what it has to offer. I have a feeling you’d like the characters a little bit more in that version. The music for this one was by Yoshida Horino who composed for things like Final Fantasy 7, Hunter x Hunter, and Deathnote.
I’m not asking for a redo or anything like that. Heck, I’m glad you gave it a chance at all. Thank you! This series surprised me back in 2015 when I watched it all the way through for my first time. I think the general consensus is that season 1, Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, is good, Season 2, V Force, is very meh, and Season 3, G Revolution, is also good.
Once again, thanks, Billiam! Sorry this is so long!
i agree completley! have you seen japanese bakugan! so much more magic and lore than the english version. and i keep feeling the twinge of censorship in the english version for some reason
just for a bit of correction, the dub of beyblade was done by Nelvana, not 4kids!
I'm just confused by how people keeps calling Takao as Tyson. He is Takao, u guys.
Thanks you!!!
Penguin it’s Tyson is the dub

I truly hope Yu-Gi-Oh doesn't get covered. I trust Billiam to do well, but typically OG fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh series tend to show a sense of saltiness for the game's current state, and it gives modern Yu-Gi-Oh a bad rep.

We went to play and mine literally broke all of their tops almost instantly. I felt bad. Like, that burst thing? That, but with plastic shrapnel.
The OG Beyblade anime The Metal Saga are universal treasures. They're a must watch and better than all the shit that came after...
Metal Saga was NOT the OG. The first series was just called Beyblade and came out in 2000. Metal Saga was 2009. And Burst has a much better voice cast.
Beyblade, v force, ge revolution, metal fusion, metal masters and metal fury were so good fr. Literally everything that came after was hot trash
I dunno the Burst anime isn't that bad
I mean the burst line isn’t horrible however the anime is pretty redundant
@@OtakuUnitedStudio you have to be kidding right?
Shoulda watched the V-Force anime series. They had an abandoned island ark, and this antagonist who would no joke STEAL OTHER BIT BEASTS. That was intense. And emotional.
Easily the tamers of the og seasons.
Those things were straight up dangerous they were metal and went fast. Me and my sister would try and hit each other from opposite sides of the room
lol those thing WERE dangerous. I had one of the original beyblades and the PLASTIC part ruined my mom's table's leg with only one spin.
@@Seikatsu Back when toy laws were relaxed. This would be something I would agree with the laws about. Kids could hurt themselves because of this.
Medabots had such a good Anime
Not for me tho...
I went on a massive research binge for both beyblade & beigoma. The strategy, physics, and the engineering that goes into both these hobbies is really impressive
Personally I thought Metal Fusion, Master, and Fury were good. The toys were even more customizable and it felt good to try and collect as many as you could. As for the anime, I felt like it could have been waaay better. I'm more ways than just plot and whatever. For example, the anime had its dark moments, like Reiji who controlled Poison Serpent and literally shredded other blader's beys with his own. Or when Tsubasa faced Ryuga and became possessed by a dark force. The anime could have been so much cooler if it had more of this. Yeah it was a kids show and toy, but I like to think about what if they targeted it towards an older audience. For me Beyblade's appeal lies in its potential and what it *could* have been. The end of Metal Fury touched more on that, with an 'end of the world' scenario that was both awesome yet unsatisfying in the end. Also I wanna know what happened to Twisted Tempo...that was a serious let down for me. But all in all Beyblade was something that could habe been more than it was and is. Frankly they should have never done Shogun Steel or Beywheels, and I get that Burst is trying to be like the original, but it just doesn't feel like it is what it wants to be.

I was mad with Zero G because Gingka wasn’t main anymore, but I said WAS; now I’m used to Anime Changing the main character for some reason smh
@@crimson-xD Yeah Metal Fury is where I stopped. I tried watching Zero G, but it just wasn't the same.
Twisted tempo is sunk down in the ocean.No one is using arrangements and without them,bladers like Tobi and Zeo cant use their beys.ITs kind of a time thing.Just watch Zeo vs Ryuga and imagine Zeo losing control over byxis more over the time,same with tempo,it just cant be used anymore without arrangement and someone who would fit the arrangement values
@@csgo6191 That really is a shame. Though I imagine if they HAD been able to keep their beys, having Twisted Tempo would have been too powerful against Nemesis. I wonder if Nemesis would have even been able to copy a bey like that.
Other dark moments I like to think about are when Jack and Kyoya went insane. Imagine if Jack had used Befall to kill people. Or if Rock/Fang Leone used its power to pick people up in its tornadoes and flung them when he got pissed. Even better, what if Hades Kerbecs melted beys? The potential was there and I loved that.
If you haven't seen it, you ought to check out Beyblade Burst, its genuinely enjoyable, not ironically like every other beyblade series. The world is a bit silly, but there's no bs remote control or straight up magic, and the plot doesn't revolve around the end of the world or the beyblades themselves, to the show its more of a sport for the characters to enjoy, and it takes full advantage of it. It's a lot like Haikyu or Free, and the animation is just as pretty imo.
As much as I enjoy the Beyblade Burst anime, I cannot enjoy Chouzetsu lol. If they were going to use a different MC they should've have made him a carbon copy of Valt. However, I would agree with the first two seasons being really enjoyable.
Honestly i prefer the whole set before burst because of jenga
+flapperfx. Why a copy of Valt?
I hate burst THE METAL SERIES IS THE BEST METAL FUSION, METAL MASTERS, AND METAL FURY
THEHEATBLAZE amen
Agreed
Mhm
There is a new one too
Shogun steel, wouldnt say its better but its still pretty solid
THEHEATBLAZE hahaha, no it’s not kid. The original trilogy is better than the garbage metal saga. The metal saga is a mediocre anime series with serious flaws.
"None if them quite took off in the USA, but the little engine that could amongst all of these was beyblades."
*laughs in bakugan*
Bakugan got cancelled in the US while it lasted another 4 years in Japan before being rebooted. And it was not a quick death in the US, it was a long, drawn out decline between B3 and B5. We didn't even GET Bakutech or Bakuarmor here.
haha we are bakugan fans arent we
WE'RE TOTALLY STILL HERE ;)

freaking beyblade Grevolution is my shit dude. That anime was the best season and the prime of beyblade due to the over the top battles. When they introduced the hard metal system i flipped lol
The bayblades have [ S T A N D S ]
Bey blade was a signature part of the 2nd grade experience

I watched the cartoon series. I thought about rewatching it a couple years ago but then didnt. I never had any toys for it. I almost bought some gameboy color games for it from wal-mart once upon a time if i remember right. I wound up getting Zelda Oracle of Ages though. I had never played a zelda and really wanted to.
What👏about👏bakungs
Breh you cannot base the original series off the first 10 episodes. You're barely a foot in.
If a show can't hook your attention within the first 10 episodes, then the writers have failed at basic writing and the show is not worth watching. Some of the best animes only have around 20 episodes. If you have to wait 50 episode for something to finally get good then your time would have been better spent watching two shorter anime series.
He probably should have started with the 2nd or 3rd season.
He only watched 6. He said the battles were boring so why was it so popular before and probably still is today. And honestly it was so ignorant to compare beybkade to Pokémon.
yeh he missed the whole episode with the vampires and werewolves how can you say that was boring
I mean i dont think he'll give much more of a shit about it if he cant get through 10 episodes. especially when its future sequel show and pokemon do so much better.
Soo, I'm guessing the next video about obscure toy cartoons/anime will be about Bakugan.
TheWhiteKnight bakugan might have to wait. I was never into it, so it’d require A LOT more research
@@billiam This comment aged pretty weirdly, haha!
I still remember my elementary friends thinking we were so cool whenever somebody got a little cut on their finger from grabbing their beyblade. So hardcore.
I only remember two things about the Beyblade anime: The first was a scene from a random episode where the main characters are training in someone's backyard and one of them kinda fucks up so another one punches a tree and yells "THAT WAS TOTALLY PATHETIC!!" The only reason I remember that scene was because it was in all the promos. The second thing I remember was a plot point where one character ends up being an android recreation of a kid that the kid's father made because the original kid died in some kind of accident.
That second scene is fro beyblade v force
"Every iteration of beyblade is compromised of..."
No.
Comprised.
I'm gonna go take a shower now.
went to the comments and hit ctrl-f compromise as soon as i heard it. that one hurt to the core
Hah that's great, thanks for sharing!
@Billiam I think you can check out the series after the initial Beyblade, titled 'Metal FIght Beyblade'. It was a series more focused on the aspect of building the beyblade itself. They had a Beyblade which spined counter-clockwise and had things that dealt with the centrifugal force of the blade. eg. they had this middle section which had 2 decented weighted balls encapsulated which will spin closer to the body of the beyblade as it slows down and help mantain a longer stamina etc. (The beyblade was called Libra). Pretty cool stuff honestly. It feels more strategic than just yelling at the beyblade.
the og draciel i think had the ball system too
1:07 I remember the tops being metal with some colored plastic with stickers.
All of them are like that, what part goes where moves around but they always have metal and plastic.
I remember when we had 1st gen beyblades in school and someone brought a huge metal ring beyblade from japan and it destroyed everyones beyblade. Then I glued two or three normal weight rings together to beat it lol.
Wyl Nah, that huge metal ring was just from a knockoff that was probably bought a flea market.
@No Chance Without Pasta woah, don't play rough boys
@No Chance Without Pasta oh, my only metal fight bey, the one i got a long time ago to see what the fuss was about (Thermal Lacerta) had it's tip shatter when I launched it from 8-ish steps from a staircase (maybe the top) trying to recreate that high jump shot valt does.
And here ithought it was sprizen requiem that destroyed your beys
@@spazerabanekozeroshki lol
Oh yeah Beyblade is still alive and kickin, last year I worked at a kindergarten for about half a year and some of the older boys (5-6) had a bit of Beyblade craze for a month or so, turns out the newest Beyblade anime had just started airing so no wonder.
It lives on in our hearts
HappiestSadGuy There is a series right know if you didnt know
Glooks Ma Guy Not really a lot of people like it a lot
Glooks Ma Guy Perfect Spelling
Glooks Ma Guy They did a Tournament where evey Beytuber was there and a lot of people came.
I remember the old ones being kind of dangerous. They were pretty heavy, those metal rings stuck out and sometimes had scythe like protrusions, and they had a habit of flying out of the arena at high speed. I remember blood being drawn a few times.
I remember the original burst type Bayblades that ejected the top part with the character sticker, so you can get them in the eye. They got recalled, because they are unsafe.
Beyblades... then Medabots... then Gundam... and finally... ZOIDS!
Please do a review on Zoids. I loved the show growing up and, to me, it never got the credit it deserved. It was almost overshadowed by the more popular anime shows in the late 1990s/early 2000s like DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Digimon and Transformers: Armada.
I looked up Zoids because I couldn't remember what it was, but it sounded oddly familiar. I found, in Google images, a toy of that white sabretooth cat, and that brought back memories from the deepest corner of my mind; memories I had lost more than a decade and a half ago. It may not be that long, but it was a LONG time ago, when I was 5-8 years old or something, and I'm 23. I LOVED this toy, the aesthetic alone was mind-blowingly epic to me. I even remember the little cockpit opening up and allowing you to place a little plastic man inside, and there were a lot of moving parts. I don't remember much of the show, but I do remember liking it, hence the toy. Anyways, sorry for the long post, but thanks for bringing up such beautiful memories. I don't remember much from the childhood, so thanks. The Zoids were my Voltron.
zoids was in the 80's in japan. there is an nes game of zoids. its a tactical rpg
@@AdonanS lol man I recently had a reencounter with zoids and realized there is so much more to the series than what I remembered and now im a 24 year old dude hunting down zoids to make a collection of my favorites.
I wonder which one the OP likes. New Centry Zero or Chaotic Centry
I still remember having tournaments at my school every break
Since I don’t think anyone every brought it up, the voice actor for Ray and Kai we’re both in Mean Girls
David Reale (Kai) was Glen Coco
Daniel De Sonto (Ray) was the guy that asked Lindsay Lohan if he could butter her muffin.
Everyone I knew as a kid called them “gay blades” and I remember being devastated
Gibby I dunno about the "devastated" part though....
Nik Arina I was a young “impressionable” child
LMAO WTH?! XD
HAHAHAHA.
That's brilliant
As cheesy as it is the first three seasons of Beyblade were my favorite. Tyson/Takao and his friends were fun to see interact, the music in the English dub I actually enjoyed, and I feel like I'm the only one who actually knows how to play the GBA G-Revolution game. Like, people seem to forget they could do special moves and it makes the battles much quicker so it becomes less tedious.
I loved the G revolution game I played it so much. And yeah the special moves were so good. When you charged all the way to red delivered the hit, and then unleashed that special fury of attacks ❤️
nicholas cato Ikr. Charge up to max and unleash a killer combo that it's almost game breaking at times. Some NPCs blades can't compete xD
Vireo yeah once you max out your level you could destroy their blades with one hit from a combo 😂 feel so good. Can’t wait for the switch game 💪
Anyone remember the two Beyblade spin offs? There was bey wheels and bey riders. Bey wheelss was tolerable while bey riders was awful. Both were basically beyblade but not. Bey wheels was bey blade with wheels and bey riders was bey blade with little car things.
I had a Baywheel, but I've never heard of Bayriders.
PurpleLemonDoesStuff Ok so at the end of the bey wheels anime they went into a seperate dimension or world or whatever that takes place there. It sucked because we only ever saw like half the cast from the original bey wheels anime and then the animators weren't even bothered to put in background characters. So the plat of bey riders was to collect magic bey riders to save the world from an ultimate evil. But again no background characters so who the hell ate they saving?
Rafael Medina
Themselves?
PurpleLemonDoesStuff Yeah but again no background characters so I'm not really invesyed in that story y'know.
I bought a Beywheel because they were cool, but Beyraiders were ugly af.
We don't talk about the original "Beyblade"
Cool kids only talk about Beyblade Metal Fusion, Masters, and Fury

Beyblade's Metal series was my favorite thing back in the day.
There was also a ps1 game 😊 and a plug and play game that the controller was a launcher. And it actually let you "rip" and measures your rpm

LET'S BEYBLADEEEEE
It's weird to see it start making a comeback. I've seen the most stuff about it recently since 2010-2011, just like Bakugan.
Beyblade actually never stopped after it was brought back for Metal Fusion. They had something going on all the way from 2009 until now.
There was a hiatus between the end of the original in 2004 and the start of Metal Fusion in '09, but it's been so popular since then that they never slowed down.
