I was a huge Max fan as a kid so seeing him be essentially the silver bullet to defeating Black Dranzer was sooo satisfying and probably his biggest feat across all 3 shows. While also making it all the more heartbreaking when Draciel is stolen later.
Same here, it sucks that he was basically cut from the last arc when Rai got such a sick episode
They did it because they didn't want him to fight in world Cup finals 👀
Yeah he had two major hero moments here: pushing back against Kai and saving Tyson from Ian, even if it meant losing Draciel. I feel he is the CLOSEST to earning the "Done Dirty" Award but he was still great here.
Draciel and Max we’re always my favorites, too. Loved his spotlight moments here, ups and downs.
Max was a loser. He just stalled the match with defence. Until it turned into a 4 vs 1.
I hope V Force and G Revolution are gonna get a rewatch too!
V force pretty frustrating too many uninteresting npc battles for progress
Any battle aside from bladebreakers vs cyber bitbeast and the shield, zeo vs ozuma, kai and tyson are so underwhelming
Plus they dont even use beyblade special attacks it's just beyblades crashing bitbeast wrestling
@@horizonenjoy2323 I can't remember the specifics but I think V-Force didn't have a single emotional connection or moment for any of the Bladebreakers on the level of this part, or even Max's and Rei's arcs, plus you had the CG Beyblades which I'm sure they never had a cool moment like 6:10
@@horizonenjoy2323yep V force is so damn boring
@@WalkerGallier did you see v force theres so much connection with bit beasts have you seen takao accept the fact that zeo is a robot/human yes it might not be on par with 2001 but it wasnt bullshit
To this day I've never seen Vforce but watched the original and G revolution multiple times. You lose out on absolutely nothing from skipping it
babe wake up new beyblade arc recap dropped
This is the arc I awaited for. The moment original dranzer comes back and owns B.dranzer on the ice lives rent free in my head.
Not really since the reason was because kai was having doubths and he still needed og dranzer's (tyson used it ) help to win.
I still own an original Black Dranzer Beyblade from when I was a kid. I'll always treasure it as a keepsake from my childhood.
Treasure it.
this guy like 200$ now
This arc is peak Beyblade imo, and you've captured why that is perfectly. My favorite underrated detail is the use of "Swing Low Let It Rip" - the best beybattle track btw - as kind of a motif for the Demolition Boys, and when it plays during Kai's battles here; it really hammers home that he's serious about betraying the Blade Breakers. Just adds to all the hype in his development throughout the last third of the show.
Yah I had a segment in the original script praising that song and how its debut here ushers in a new edgy era for the show, but I cut it for time !
@@thedigiknow okay but when can we get the extended edition of these reviews? :D
Everytime Takara Tomy releases a Dranzer, I buy 2 so I can make a custom black one. I'm glad they did it again in Beyblade X!
About the kid that Tyson fought in the abbey. In the Japanese version, we actually get to see that kid again. As Kai wanders down the hallway he comes by a prison like cell. In this cell there is this kid from earlier, begging him to let him out. This was the Moment Kai was able to recall this place as Boris appeared behind him and Kai was in pure shock. I don't know why they had cut this part out of the english version because the way Kai reacted just shows, that he and probably the rest of the boys, that grew up there, had a very similar treatment in the abbey).
Yeah! I watch the Japanese footage too when I'm writing these scripts. They probably didn't want to show a child behind bars. In the dub, they kind of implied he was being "kicked out" of the Abbey, not locked away!
@@thedigiknow I see I see!
This might be the case. Because honestly, I felt like leaving out that the kid was locked away reassures that the Kid was "Somewhat" okay. Without it (and I'm not sure how the english one handled it, I only watched the Japanese footage) I really thought "They're not going to off this kid...aren't they? I know shonen Anime from the 2000s can go down dark roads but not that dark, right?" Seeing the kid again was therefore kind of a relief for the viewer in that moment. Even when it was still stressfull!
@@Nabs_Draws ya exactly. Never showing the kid again is actually worse imo cus it implies they just killed him. For Russia isn't too far of a stretch. At least with him behind bars we know he's just being punished and not dead.
@@thedigiknowA little disappointed that you didn't mention that the bey in the Japanese version was made by Rasputin.
@@meno3104 I’m reviewing the English dub But maybe in the next video I can shout it out
Seeing max casually mid diff black dranzer was amazing especially sense he didn’t have a battle after this im glad they gave him this huge moment
Also if you do want to do v force i can’t wait its all over the place but also a lot of fun
He did have a battle against the Demolition Boys, but he got owned and Draciel was stolen. It was weird how he just beat Black Dranzer, then got whooped so easily right after.
@@DarthPyrusTheVirus he got jumped I don’t count that
@@Chaoskingdonovan actually max was lucky since kai was having doubts making black dranzer way weaker than normal (since the bit beast get afected by the user emotions and physical state)and even then it was just a matter of time before black dranzer could beat drasil until tyson used the og dranzer to help by not only making kai's mental state weaker but by making it a 2v1 battle. Also that explains why he later lose againts oponents weaker than kai (with black dranzer).
@@SoyElBrokas he got jumped again he got jumped and I can’t count that it’s not fair
Mental nerf or not Kai was still losing during there one v one after that I wouldn’t count it anymore cause og dranzer tagged in mid fight making it a stale mate in max’s favor
Fun fact in Japanese dub, it is stated Rasputin was responsible for making black dranzer
Yo, a review of my favourite bit in the show getting released on my birthday?
Even after years, this miniarc still exists in the back of my brain, even after I moved on from this franchise. Every now and then I'll get flashbacks to the battle on the frozen lake and think "yeah, this is peak fiction."
Happy birthday!
I loved that battle of Kai vs The Bladebreakers. Especially, "Who are we! Bladebreakers!"
I used to watch beyblade at like 6 am during the summers, I remember this being the first real arc I saw. I became obsessed with dranzer and Kai as a kid.
Exact same experience as mine!
This arc it's important to me first time a main protagonist thst turns into darkness it hits diferente when Kai tried to help his friend or classmate at school before he died and gona give credit to the metal saga when tsubasa felt into darkness was so real
"the beyblade equivalent of the space race" yeah that tracks
I HOPE it isnt the finale of you reviewing beyblades. i lvoe this franchise so much
This arc was nuts, bit beasts being stolen and kai going against the blade breaksers. Also its why dranser was my favourite bit beast. (With dragoon 2nd fav)
Thank you for giving us new og Beyblade related content. This truly is one of my favorite series.
Glad you enjoy it!
Omg you're actually doing another part! Thought that you'd fit the entire Russia arc into this video, but I'm not disappointed.
Your first sentence, that the Black Dranzer arc lives rent free in our 2k kids head, is all true. When I think of beylade season 1, I think of the lake Baikal scene (again, geographically this makes no sense lmao). The team saving Kai from drowning? Signature scene.
Boris is I think the most menacing villain the team has to face in all the seasons, he is that memorable (and terrifying). Kai's character development is also chef's kiss 👌Also shout out to Tala and looking forward to see more of him next episode. I love my Russian boy.
I had a golden colored blade and spinner version of Dranzer with titanium weights when I was a kid that won me a beyblade tournament tour by YTV Canada
It's been really fun bingewatching these shows I never had the spare time to finish as a kid. I've been watching the episodes and then coming back to these arc-by-arc. Thanks for the watchalong!
Another banger review video!
Thanks!
""Its Beyblade equivalent of the Space Race" that phrase captures all the silliness and "depth" of the series.
Would the unoffical "Done Dirty award" go to Black Dranzer for getting built up to be the strongest to get 2 consecutive losses OR the Bladebreakers for getting left on the lake? 🤔
I nominate Emily, for getting her Bit-Beast stolen the first time she actually uses it.
@@nicholasfarrell5981And she seemed to actually care for her Bit-Beast as when Kai stole it, she looked at Mariah in tears.
Aw man, I hate that they dropped Ian and Spencer in the next series and that Kevin didn't battle, I'm in love with all the characters from the main teams of the first BB
bro your videos are so good man, really appreciate you letting me relive my childhood
I love this arc.
On paper it's so, _so_ dumb. Black Dranzer is a super-Bit Beast created by _Rasputin_ using _black magic._ It's based on Dranzer, who is in turn based on the Four Gods, but it originated in Russia. It's a big bird contained inside a bladed spinning top. It's a counterpart to one of a set of four, but it has no fellow black magic versions of the other sacred spirits (Well, there's Death Driger/Shadow Driger, but that one isn't in the show, and has a completely different design language, being a humanoid Driger with bat wings and a scythe, and a green blade that doesn't look like any of the Drigers we got). It's more powerful than any single Bit Beast we've ever seen before. It makes you evil if you use it, and its effects are _incredibly_ strong, Kai doesn't even need to actually pick the thing up for it to get its hooks in him. It's identical in every way besides colour to the Dranzer F blade that Kai designed himself like, last week in-universe, but that's not a recent upgrade, it's always looked like that.
Oh, but watching it, and buying into this funny alternate world where kids launching sawblades at each other for sport is on the same level as baseball? It works. It _really_ works. Everything about the way this arc is set up makes Black Dranzer a great antagonist, and I'm torn between wishing it came back in G-Revolution and appreciating that they did it once, only once, and when the story was told, they let it rest.
I kinda have a fan-theory about it, that the reason Dranzer F and Black Dranzer look identical to each other is that Kai was subconsciously influenced by his memories of Black Dranzer when building the new blade. While plenty of Kai's blades use that two-toothed design (the original Dranzer S, his later Dranzer G, and his final Dranzer MS spring to mind), these are the only two he uses that have green markings instead of red. So I like to think that, without intending to, he made his own copy of Black Dranzer.
(Sidenote: Me and some friends once spitballed the idea of doing a Beyblade Abridged, and one of the jokes I wanted to do was to have Boris drop the "It was made by Rasputin" line, Kai to question it, and then hard-cut to the _In the Dark of Night_ sequence from Anastasia)
Like everything in the show, it got a toy (Technically this is a joke, as Tryhorn, Falborg, Amphilyon, Unicolyon and all of the Dark Bladers' Beyblades did not get toys, and Galux only got a con-exclusive redeco of Galleon), and like the show, the toy was a black redeco of Dranzer F. This ended up being quite funny, because Dranzer F... is not a particularly good blade IRL. The attack ring is okay, but has the potential to be damaged with repeated use, and the blade's gimmick of being able to change its tip for different opponents ends up making the blade a bit too tall to effectively use any of them. So the ultimate, horror-monster Beyblade from the show ends up being fairly underwhelming in plastic.
Galux was a convention exclusive? No wonder I couldn't find one in stores.
Dranzer F and Black Dranzer looks the same because Kai is using a Hiwatari Enterprise technology to dewelop Dranzer F (it's said in Japanese version when Kai is training in a warehouse and BladeBreakers are attacked on Eiffel tower) so assuming Dranzer F is best version in OG then it's obvious that Black Dranzer will have the same assets. Black Dranzer is actually connected to mythology of Pyre Bird (counterpart to Phoenix) the same way as all Bit-Beasts are sacred spirits from every part of a world.
"The noble Phoenix is an embodiment of renewal, part of the cycle of death and rebirth. The bird dies in fire but is reborn new. This is a metaphor by the gods themselves for mortals, who must die so that new life can live in their place.
The Pyre Bird appears to the casual observer to be a raven but a keen eye reveals that its tail is too long and elaborate, its feathers are not the iridescent black of a real raven but rather pure matte black of coal dust. Indeed, mixed in the black are feathers the pale white color of ash. The beak is not pointed, but curved. They are, in truth, phoenix birds but devoid of the inferno of glorious color that makes those birds so easily recognized.
The Pyre Bird is the corrupted Phoenix who perpetuates its existence by stealing that power of rebirth. Like a vulture, the Pyre Bird circles overhead, waiting for funeral processions to prepare the ritualistic cremation on the sacred river. When the body is prepared on its funerary raft, ignited, and pushed out onto the steam, the Pyre Bird descends to “feed”.
The Pyre Bird eats the “fire”. The light and heat and energy of the destruction of the body is absorbed by the malignant creature, allowing it to continue its current incarnation without its own death. The body upon which it feeds is untouched by fire and will never burn again or even sink. Instead, the corpse will float forever on the sacred river, rotting and putrefying into a vile ooze that poisons the water around it. In time, the body becomes not but a greasy slick on the river and flows out into the Ocean where the indignity of the Pyre Bird is finally, mercifully washed away.
For this reason, mourners often prepares boats to follow the funerary raft, where relatives or hired men guard the body. The Pyre Bird is an outcast from the hidden temples and secret roosts where noble Phoenix dwell."
They really do Max dirty man. He just got a new blade and they steal Draciel before he can use it in a tournament XD At least it got to flex as the one blade to no-sell Black Dranzer's offense. Which made it a target true, but man XD
awesome video, I hope you talk about season 2 sometime.
Highly underrated show with deeper complex narratives.
This is when Beyblade REALLY got seriously badass, like Battle City in YGO. Black Dranzer was THE Beyblade back in the day. It was insane to see Kai own both prior teams with ease (which he would have done in those seasons, but not as effortlessly). What was even crazier was Tyson getting smashed. At that point, you didn't really expect it, or at least expected a much closer fight, but no, he's made to look like a chump just like Ray. It's cathartic considering how he acts in V-Force and G-Revolution, but a bit sad because he's still a good character here. It made you think if Kai faced anybody from the past, including the Majestics, he'd stuff them all.
I initially hated how Kai couldn't take out Max like he did the others, but then it was explained how Black Dranzer actually works (in the Japanese version), and it made sense. Kai was breaking mentally when confronted by someone actually near his level, so Black Dranzer was less effective as its strength comes directly from the blader using it. I always thought it was weird how Kai didn't just return the Sacred Beasts to their owners after coming back to the light side, rather he let Boris keep all the ones he stole. Kind of a dick move IMO.
Black Dranzer is the best beyblade. They always has to fight handicap and use 3 or 4 beyblade to compare to Black Dranzer's power.
I absolutely love these videos! I love how you are able to acknowledge how silly the show is while respecting its storytelling. I’d love to see breakdowns of other nostalgic children’s anime.
Thank you so much!
This is the first time i have watched anything relating to Beyblade. My only interaction with beyblade was with one game as a child that i did not get very far in because i just did not understand it, and the joke about Moses parting the Red sea with a beyblade.
Watching this all the way makes me want to watch this show now.
Please never end these
I think I missed this arc growing up. Def gonna have to rewatch the series. Great vid as always brother.
Please do this kind of analysis for V-Force and G-Revolution! I am loving this videos to relive my nostalgia xD
1:40 knew that sounded like tsubasa
I loved Beyblade so much when I was a kid, the first series was really something special. Will you cover V Force and G Revolution as well at some point?
Great video. Man, you really have to do V-Fource after you've finished. It's amazing for Kai's development.
And the soundtrack is actually fire
Nice videos bro. Keep the V force and G revolution series in the line too, they'll be hella funny especially towards the end.
My guy is just cooking the best content rn 🙏🏻 Don’t slow down please 🙂↔️
Imagine an alternate universe where the Majestics do beat the Bladebreakers. The Majestics taking their spot in the World tournament and Kai joins the Demolition Boys not only to hold Black Dranzer but driven beserk due to repeated losses to the European assholes.
Commenting for algorithm, happy to see you videos back!
Hey, thanks!
This show brought back all the memrories. Honestly, a lot of what I have to say about this series... you have already covered. And I like how Tyson's journey isn't just one arc, it's covered across the entire season and culminates in this one. Ray, Max, and now Kai have had their arcs, but at the same time... it's not about winning and losing. It's having fun playing Beyblade... or as Tyson puts it: The language of Beybattle!!
Looking forward to more!!
The breaking of the ice is so poetic.
At the end of the original Beyblade Series it wasn't reveal what became of Black Dranzer after the Bladebreakers defeated the Demolition Boys and stopped Biovolt for good.
I miss the globe trotting that went on in older adventure animes.
I’ve never seen a second of this show but this was entertaining
Never got to this arc as a kid. BAD. ASS
One of things I found interesting in this arc is how the Beybladers reacted to getting their Bit-Beasts stolen by Kai and Black Dranzer. For example after the All Starz got defeated by Kai and got their Bit-Beasts stolen by Black Dranzer, the White Tigers saw them walking away dejectedly. When Mariah tried asking them what happened and if they're okay, Emily turned around and responded "Mariah..." with tears in her eyes. They weren't upset that they lost the match, they were upset that their Bit-Beasts were taken from them.
That shows that Beybladers actually care about their Bit-Beasts and view them as partners instead of just tools that will give an edge in Beyblade Battles. It really humanizes them. And to reinforce this the White Tigers got upset over Kai taking their Bit-Beasts, too. Heck, back in the White Tiger arc, Ray got upset after Drigger left him. (Still trying to remember how he got him back)
Oh, another thing I liked was Tyson using the original Dranzer to defeat her (some parts of the dub refer to Dranzer as female) evil doppelganger and get Kai back. It quite poetic as it's proof that the true Dranzer is Kai's one true partner and not that dark imitation.
Dranzer: "I hate cheap knockoffs!"
Edit: This really is quite comparable to the Marvel Comic's "Alien Costume" arc. Black Dranzer in the Venom to Kai's Spider-Man.
Driger.
I really like your content. I was in a toys r us beyblade team when I was 9 lol. Would you ever make a series on the Medabots show? That was another one of my favorites
Black dranzar arc was absolutely loved your review of it I hope you consider doing v force and g revolution
this was perfect, i liked it, everything in this video. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The memories are all coming back!
Such nostalgia i loved this arc
Black dranzer is the main reason I play the evil version of digimon.
I love how show with Japanese school children has Tyson freaking out over the inhumane expectations in children despite how harsh the expectation from school children is in east Asia
Ray was the true MVP of the final Battle
I know it may seem strange but I was cheering on Kai even in his dark turn haha love seeing him wreck some blade 😂
Great to see your original video back up. And just to show my dedication, I will repeat my original comment for the 3rd time.
As much as it seemed cool for Kai to screw the villains over by wrecking their stuff with Black Dranzer, Kai showed why he's still a kid. He thought he was being smart, but instead of doing the logical thing and returning all the Bit-Beasts back to their original owners, Kai just...gives Black Dranzer back to the villains with all the stolen Bit-Beasts still.
I can only imagine Kai looking back at this years later with the power of hindsight and facepalming over how dumb he was. And Tyson and the others will basically tease him with that whenever they reminisce.
third time's the charm!!
Correction: Max's new bey is Draciel Fortress, not Super Draciel
Yeah in Japanese they give it the name Draciel Fortress. In English they call it Super Draciel once and then never really give it a name again. I meant to throw text on screen saying “(Draciel Fortress in the original)” but forgot. Woops
Wait so you're telling me that Max didn't start using Draciel F until right before their battle against Demolition Boys?
So bro beat Michael with Draciel S.
while all of his teammates were using the F versions of their beys
This arc got pretty crazy
You've made me rewatch Beyblade. I've just finished V-Force. I was annoyed at the character models for V-Force compared to the original series. Also, I now want to buy the Driger-V that I could never find in any shop as a child to complete my collection (It's still around somewhere, I just don't know where).
7:01 almost All the Wild tigers Bitbeast as I’m sure Kevin never fought as he has his BLade taken from him for Braking their Team Rules.
Those giant launchers were false advertisement! You could barely hold these tiny things in your hands as an 11 year old. But in the show, they held them with the entire palm
I mean Black Dranzer was basically a russian nuke mixed with a supersoldier program. Like a bit of winter soldier mixed with Mewtwo. Younger me ate that shit up. The cold war stuff with USA vs Russia definitely went over my head though.
There was no cold War element the beyblade was made when Russia wasn't even communist acc to timeline
@@horizonenjoy2323 I meant general allusions that could be implied by reading too much into it. Not actually there.
Kai: I’m going to make things right!
Also Kai: gives Boris Black Dranzer with all the bit beasts he stole instead of giving them back which lead to the demolition boys taking Draciel.
The black Dranzer left quite the scar on my beyblade career as a kid... I was best in my street until i challenged this kid with a battery powered beyblade arena with the black Dranzer included as a set... It's the only beyblade i never beat... Since they made OG Dranzer in the new BBX maybe a variant as a tournament prize or exclusive could appear...
Honestly hope you do V-Force and G-Revolution as well
I love how Beyblad is just wrestling with tops at this point.
More like boxing due to the weight classes.
This was a good arc Seeing Kai’s character Growth was cool.
Looking forward to the last video. And maybe v force and g revolution getting their own entries. After that if you’re looking for another old series to talk about, I’d love some old zoids retrospectives for the first few series. They’re also shorter than beyblade.
Just bought a slightly damaged black dranzer attack ring for $9. Finally have a black dranzer complete, hasbro ver. The attack ring is what I needed lol.
Yeah, this arc was surprisingly intense.
> Be me
> 30 years old talking care of My nephew.
> Little boy crazy about the latest season of the show talking smak about the cool Beyblade My sister bought he.
> I smile, go to My room, look into the secret compartment of My drawer, pick one of the Big treasures from my childhood and come back.
> I explain him no blade can stand against the ULTIMATE POWER OF THE BLACK DRANZER.

And that's why the black dranzer Will always have a place in My heart
I’m surprised ambushing and effectively injuring a opponent before a game isn’t grounds for immediate disqualification.
Wowww great job dude, now we're just missing the russia tourney!!!!!
I adore this arc
When I was watching this arc, and when Kai was taking the All-Stars bit-beast and the White Tigers bit-beast (minus Kevin) I thought of the Wolf Duke Org.
Totally forgot about this arc
I hope G-revolution will get his rewatch too ;)
And yeah i meant don't bother to rewatch v-force lmao
i wish you brought up how kai upgraded his beyblade in the last arc and how it looks like black dranser beyblade in this arc
Sometimes when I'm watching the original Beyblade series mainly from the V force to G Revolution Black Dranzer to make a comeback
Kai: I resented being thrown in with a bunch of no-talents!
Also Kai: To become the best, one must defeat the best!
🤯
I’m watching this arc now
..THOUGHT YOU PICKED UP MY NAME BUT YOU FORGOT ABOUT MY HOME GAME
6:05 Arrival of one the greatest OST's from Beyblades english dub !!1
Kai had one of the coldest launch sequences busting through some pillars with Black Dranzer
Will you be doing the other seasons
I hope u going to continue this until the beyblade original anime end
Y'know one thing I like is that, if this were any other show, when Kai gets Black Dranzer, he would just be pissing darkness and have an expression that looks like he just ingested all the caffeine in all of Russia.
But he doesn't. Now, you could say the artists didn't think to do it, but I'd like to think it was on purpose. For the most part in these hero-turned-villain arcs, it's usually the result of mind control or possession. Not this time. As far as Kai sees it, he's taking actions he figured he'd be taking anyway. Sure, it's implied that Black Dranzer is influencing Kai, but it still is believably him. And that probably hurts the Bladebreakers the most.
If it helps anything, there is a cut scene which describes black dranzer being somehow tied in Rasputin. Which man says a lot.
I like how max win and lose were based on things that were explained before for example kai was having doubts making black dranzer way weaker than normal (since the bit beast get afected by the user emotions and physical state)and tyson using he og dranzer to help was the nail in the coffin for kai and black dranzer (basically they didnt atack they atacked kai making black dranzer way weaker). Also that explains why max later lose againts oponents way weaker than kai (with black dranzer).
The moment that tested the bonds of the Bladebreakers to make them stronger than ever before.
Now I'm no expert on the lore with the manga and maybe someone mentioned it and I didn't notice it in comments, but iirc, Kai lost his mom at an early age and his mom was loving and caring, and we also see him show those soft spots during the USA arc, where he gets to notice the connection between Max and his mom, so maybe some soft feelings there?
Also I'm curious was it shown how Kai returned Black Dranzer in this arc, or is that in the next arc or video.
I remember the original cast fighting some mechanical bit beast that wasn't part of season 1?
I never knew Kenny was a dub exclusive. I'm curious what the last series of the OG Beyblades was like without Kenny. That was one of the best series/arcs of anime.
would you consider doing v force & g Revolution?
❤❤❤
Season 2 review eventually too?
PLease recap V force after this one!
