Gotta tell how popular bootleg beyblades were here in Brazil. The bootleg ones would have stuff to make them release sparks when they clashed. They were actually dancerous, they would cut through skin, but it was a LOT of fun.
@@firechaos70 because there is a real possibility that your blade will die, the enemy blade will die, and that YOU will die, OR the other guy. t's why gladiator fights get attention.
One time my friend showed me a beyblade that had LITERAL BLADES attached to it. And i'm not talking about your grandmas butter knife no I mean it when I say these blades could cut fruit if you could take them off
38:45 "Nobody gets out of a Ryuga battle without serious mental damage" Hoo boy, ya didn't mention it, but what he did to Hikaru was flat out INSANE. Wiped her out so badly and stole her soul that it made her *retire* from Beyblading, after having made a childhood promise to her sick mom to be the best Blader in the world. 💀💀💀
I remember those. Seeing sparks and pieces of plastic fly every time they tore into each other felt like a miniature natural disaster where you could only watch in a mixture of awe and terror because trying to stop them would lose you a finger.
I once had a bootleg beyblade that had a COMEDICALLY large sawblade as an attack ring like it basically strapped an electric fan's blades into my beyblade, it was terrifying.
My personal favourite oddity of the original Beyblade cartoon was that, even before Bit Beasts were seriously introduced, it was just apparently an accepted fact that everyone could psychically control/order their little tops?
I remember in the first beyblade movie there's a scene where one of the bladebreakers was battling a dark blader. Their teacher was there, but she didn't know what was happening because she couldn't see the bitbeasts fighting eatch other. The series never explains or brings up that moment ever again.
Seemingly all products in BBX are currently only produced by Takara Tomy, including Hasbro Exclusives such as SteelSamurai and Talon Ptera. Hasbro BBX also has TT branding, similar to Hasbro's Burst Pro Series having TT branding.
@@exocolt15 Because Hasbro's market is still towards younger players, even if they're selling stuff like "Tournament Grade Winder launchers" and the Soar Phoenix Starter Pack. Plus Hasbro's Starters and Stadium Set include the really shitty Proto Launchers along with Reskins that are still of the same quality and shape as their TT equivalents.
Because I will have nowhere else to say this naturally, here's a neat piece of Trivia. In the Manga version of Beyblade: Metal Fury, the Bey Points system is treated like Power Levels from Dragon Ball Z. By the end, Gingka manages to defeat Rago, a being who was the physical manifestation of the Bey Nemesis and had 100 million bey points. Assuming that Bey points and Power Levels are equivalent, (The Mangaka flat out states that Gingka's final attack was just a legally-distinct Spirit Bomb, so I believe they likely are.) This makes Rago only slightly weaker than 100% STRENGTH FINAL FORM FRIEZA. Not only that, Gingka's Cosmic Nova (The legally-distinct Spirit Bomb) was able to completely obliterate Nemesis. In other words, Manga Gingka's strongest attack could potentially kill SSJ1 Goku. Let that sink in. (Note: The power levels I used were from the Frieza Saga, and even then it doesn't necessarily mean Gingka would win. I just thought the fact this was even possible was funny)
tbf ryuga has destroyed a black hole by annihilating the singularity AND collapsed the sun (in an alternate universe but still) he is leagues beyond frieza my boy
Yeah, but that’s just DBZ; only Goku (the main character) gets a rage boost. Vegeta was only permitted “powered-up tantrums” unless he was helping Goku
Beyblades have undoubtedly some of the coolest engineering of any toy - tops that jump or steal momentum are CRAZY ideas that I love seeing them actually implement.
Fun fact: When I was in middle school at my daycare (very cool statement I know), I ran “tournaments” for the younger kids to play with Beyblades. This was also around the time my school banned Beyblades because kids kept launching them at each other. I still ran these tournaments because the little kids enjoyed it a lot. More kids kept getting hit with Beyblades and I only feel slightly responsible for it!
Oh as a sidenote because of how the video ended: Takara Tomy really cracked down on Hasbro after the ending of Burst because of just how bad their production was, and it’s pretty much confirmed that while they can make original stuff, it’s just from small tweaks to preexisting molds TT has. All of the preexisting toys are just TT tops in Hasbro branding. They will not cause mayhem again, hopefully.
A beyblade once drew blood on me when I tried to pick it up after winning a match. I was an amateur, naive, *ignorant* I have since gained proper understanding of the world and attainted mutual respect with Sagittarius Edit: 56:37 HEH
actually, correction about the X series. hasbro is handling distribution, takara is producing them. the hasbro X beys are virtually identical to the japanese ones.
Oh, so basically Hasbro is just importing them, slapping them into a translated package, and shipping them to stores? Why do I feel the box is going to somehow still fail Quality Control even if the Bey is perfect?
You're certainly right about the violence, an X bey escaped a stadium and hit me in the nads. It was also not the only time a bey tried to injure it's owner.
Man, ever since I saw a commercial for Beyblade Burst, I instantly fell in love with Beyblade, and to this day, I still have my old beys, so this video takes me back.
For years I've heard people making fun of "strategy" in a spinning top bonking game, but then you showed that goat bey bouncing around and Drago spinning backwards to mess with vectors and _now_ I actually get it. There's some cool stuff going on there. More in the top building than in the top launching, though, which the anime seemed to emphasize more than it should, but I'll assume that's like how GX decided practicing drawing cards is a thing you can do
Most of the cool stuff about Beyblade does come from how the tops are built, but unlike drawing cards in yugioh GX, there is actually some strategy in how you launch your bey. Not as much as in the show, but launch technique does have a noticeable impact on how a beyblade behaves. For example, tilting your beyblade slightly away from you before launching it would cause it to move in a flower-like pattern through the stadium, repeatedly passing through the center, whereas keeping it level when you launch it would cause the beyblade to circle around the edge of the stadium. If you're using an attack-type beyblade, knowing how to launch it properly could mean the difference between landing hit after hit on a stationary opponent, and wasting all your stamina (thus attack power) before you so much as graze them.
I am certain, If this was within our physical realm, Ryuga *would* get bayblades banned from events, and it would be because someone threw a punch at him.
I have this very special memory in my mind with Beyblade. When I was a kid back then, I usually have the privilege of buying manga, and I would lend them to friends around my neighbourhood, since they are all good and kind kid, but less fortunate than me. I remember buying a few manga and there was a Beyblade manga, there's this kid around the block usually hang out with me, he's smart, much smarter than me, and truth be told, I'm the dumbest kid around the block. His parents didn't seem to like him hanging out with me, I can tell that by the look even then, I was still little back then. Anyway, we all like the manga about Beyblade, and I continued lending him the manga up until the last book I could found. It's early 2000, and we live in a place where it's not well-developed and not all kind of entertainments are accessible. Toys are luxurious and proper, branded toys are holy rail and didn't exist. There are a couple of ladies set up their toy stores around the school, they sold cheap toys and some bootleg stuff, but for the early 2000 the quality of these was surprisingly decent. Of course, we both bought our cheap-ass beyblade. They only came with one colour, white, and they all function the same without any kind of customization, they spin, and that's it. Didn't stop us from using a metal cookie box as an arena and had fun, we both yell dumb shit from the manga while they are spinning. This was also at the time, where he was about to move to a bigger city, I visited him a couple more times before he finally left. I didn't have the chance to say goodbye to him that day, since I was in school. We only met the last time in the party, all of the mom around the block joined in to say goodbye about a week before that. Anyway, I didn't have many friends back then, and I knew a genuine one when I had one. All the people I called friends back then were legitimate friends, and I'm glad it happened that way. I'm sure that he ain't even remember about this after so many years, but this memory lives rent free in my mind. Last time I heard, his father was having his business working well after moving, so I presumed that his life got better, good for him.
Eddy: Your Beyblade will be revered! Double D: In Japan... Eddy: You will have legions of fans! Your Beyblade will part the seas! Double D: In Japan...
When I was kid, i went to a summer camp and I remember there was an entire social hierarchy with beyblades. If you have the best beyblade you were known as cool
It's quite fitting that Ryuga would resemble Akuma. If the only thing that can put a person down for good is LITERAL DIVINE FORCE, you are not an antagonist you're a force of destruction.
The “Crappy Fighting Game EVO” is mentioned once again. I wait for the glorious day such an event becomes real. (It will justify my 100+ hours on Metal Masters from when I was a kid)
Jack, I'm gonna be honest-I think you're my absolute favourite youtuber now. You're the same height as me, you were/are a TBFP fan, you're FUNNY, you're SUPER INFORMATIVE, you're FASCINATING. Thank you for being you. I would've never learned the actual real world history behind the concept of Top-Fights without you. Genuinely, you're the best.
I'm so happy I grew up with the Metal Fury/Metal Masters line of beys, because at least those were pretty close to the original japanese versions. Imagine being a kid growing up with the Hasbro Burst system, getting older, and finding out how BAD you got robbed.
I really like the idea of the final boss being the embodiment of the Dinosaurs Vengeance, and then sits around watching two tops spin around and hit another.
God damn it, now this video makes me want to make a super-tanky Beyblade that just spins in the middle and _refuses_ to move no matter how many times it gets bopped. I wanna be the iron wall of Beyblade.
As a person who was into beyblade for almost all of the Metal series and imported in JP beys to get the actual gimmicks has ro skimped out on. And a brother who is literally at a betblade tournament RIGHT Now, Beyblade will always hold a special place in my heart
40:45 In the manga Ryuga lives. There is two different counterparts to Ryuga. The anime makes him a power hungry anti-hero and the manga makes him a literal almost 1 thousand year old dragon king. I am not joking just ask Takafumi Adachi this and you will be surprised that this is indeed part of Ryuga's lore
im so glad someone else out there understand how fucking cracked Ryuga is shoutouts to Gjinka's tails miles prower type beat sidekick went to RYUGA for advice on how to be better
Me and my friends were obsessed with these back in middle school. Shouting “LET IT RIP” in the middle of the lunchroom whenever we played with these levels of obsessed. We saw every episode of the show as the dub aired on Cartoon Network, all that. I do not use the phrase “cringe” lightly, and I’ll happily grant the nuance that we were neurodivergent middle schoolers at the time, but it was super cringe. Edit: On a related note, literally everything Jack said about Ryuga is 100% true.
Beyblade was actually why I got scammed for the first place! it was in 2nd grade, I was two years ahead so I was 5 years old meanwhile everyone else was 7. so I was showing one of my beyblades to this guy during recess, the purple eagle one from Beyblade Metal Fusion iirc, and he asked if he could borrow it, and I said sure, but he didn't give it back to me lol. I had to ask my dad to tell the kid to give me back my beyblade, and he did. also really love the Alpha 2 reference in the thumbnail, huge props to the artist!
When I was an elementary student, I was OBSESSED with the Metal Fusion and Metal Masters animes when they were on Cartoon Network, even more than I was with Pokémon, and they were my introduction into Beyblades in general. Sadly, I was a stupid kid and thought Ginka Hagane’s English voice was the coolest thing ever. I now see that he was in fact annoying to hear. Carman Melville’s Ryuga voice is still badass though, and that theme song lives in my head for all eternity.
Honestly aside from Ginka's dubbed voice the cast was okay at worst but 100% with Melville as Ryuga. I recently marathoned Bakugan as sort of background noise and realised that it's the same group of voice actors when hearing some of the voice actors (Melville shows up as a villain late in the first series, Lync in New Vestroia is Ginka, and Spectra also in New Vestroia is Dashan from Masters).
@@kratangg-arang This was barely about the fighting game and just Bumbles spearing on for about an hour over Beyblade and I'm all here for it. I wonder if I could get people to set up a MMDS bracket lol
Ryuga is the Akuma of Beyblade. He decimated everyone in that series, and gave them early retirements and intense PTSDs. The fact that it took God himself to beat him. That shows how much of a huge GOAT he is. He decimated a floating city with his own Beyblade. I can see why the artist who drew your thumbnail. Took inspiration from SF Alpha 2, cause it fits Ryuga's personality well with Akuma's.
I love that there's a fighting game where the only visual difference between the fighters is the colors and the crazy stuff that comes out when they attack each other. Beyblade Metal Masters is a rare breed and should be treasured as such. I was going to specify that I meant the game before I remembered everything about Ryuga.
ROCK LEONE! The one good starter bey from Metal Fusion! By the way I still find it crazy how Meteo L-Drago's absorbing powers are actually scientifically true, I remember how I bursted in laughter when me and my brothers launched it by hand and saw it win
Oh my God, really!!!! You're literally my favorite creator!! You've covered punch out, TF2, and now beyblade?!? That's fuckin, I can't even... I'm genuinely in tears of joy dawg! As a long time competitive blader, good shit bumbles! Good shit Edit: also, heck you bumbles, you really just boiled down several years of launch and bey testing to "making a beyblade that runs away" and then called me a coward lmao. I've been had! Well played bumbles, well played
I LOVED this video, beyblade has been one of my favorite things in the world since I was a kid, so seeing you both tackle the hobby in such an in-depth way, plus talking about such a cool video game as metal masters is, has been just great.
One of the unmentioned part about the Beyblade X series? They're remaking V-Force and Metal Burst Beys for this new generation. So old fans can come back into the absolute *best* generation we've gotten.
As a kid the Metal Series was absolutely amazing, I still have so many good memories of my Leone and Pegasus beys We used to have fuckin beyblade days with the bros it was nuts...
@@bumblesmcfumbles You’re telling me some random shit starter just decided to pick up one of the most powerful artifacts and become one step below god? I need to watch this anime now.
@@goroakechi6126 Sorry, ABOVE. HE UNDID HIS DEATH AND KILLED GOD AS HE WAS COLLAPSING THE SUN INTO A BLACK HOLE. though he died right after but here's some of his achievements: - took down 3 militias at once - destroyed a floating city singlehandedly (literally) - tore through spacetime - tore through a physical black hole by destroying the singularity - achieved a domain expansion (debatable) - tanked a carpet bombing - took over and collapsed 2 companies - ~850 thousand victories with only 2 losses - "killed" the sun god Sol - Isekai'd himself and blew up the sun for the funny and finally.. - hospitalizing and killing people irl through seizures (or blood loss through nosebleeds) *THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAAAATTTTT*
Ahh, beyblade. Back in school they had a bowl shaped thing as part of the playground where people played, and someone got so mad they kept losing they brought pepper spray and coated the entire bowl. Beyblade wasn't allowed anymore
That was the greatest intro Ive ever heard in my life Edit: that was the best video Ive seen. And it was due to beyblade. Im mad at how good it is. Thanks
@@jokerofspades-xt3bs I was a 3rd grade kid, so whatever I brought to school (probably a bad idea, but since someone also brought theirs I wanted to partake)
Beyblades have been there more in my life than my dad ever has, so It’s great to see commemorate the item Moses used to part the seas near Father’s Day.😁👌
Hasbro overmilking something with poor quality to kill it faster but extract every bit of sweet sweet juice from the corpse? No, I've never heard of that. I don't even know what Magic: the Gathering is.
Ryuga taunting Gingka about getting a better beyblade from his dad gets even funnier when you remember that at that point Gingka thought his dad was dead. And he thought his dad was dead because, if I recall correctly, Ryuga dropped a mountain on him.
Honestly, it's cool hearing about how complex beyblade actually is. I can't help being excited for beyblade X while also being simultaneously terrified that hasbro is making them.
I also wanted only one Beyblade when I was little, but I actually wanted one that none of the ones from Metal Fusion, the only one I watched had, because those were theirs. I got Grand Cetus.
OH MY GOD I USED TO WATCH THE ANIME AND LOVE THESE AS A KID. DUDE. I WANTED TO PUT A STUPID BANDAID OVER MY NOSE AS A FIVE YEAR OLD BECAUSE OF THIS ANIME BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT LOOKED COOL WHAT I RECONGNISE THE STUPID RED HAIRED KID IN THE THUMBNAIL THAT WAS A JUMPSCARE...

Both have the same voice actor in Japanese.
@@mrmiscellaneous105 He's great even if he kinda does the same voice for every character. Who can blame him when his voice is that cool
That store aisle story was really cute aw
Eddy: Your Beyblade will be revered!
Double D: In Japan...
Eddy: You will have legions of fans! Your Beyblade will part the seas!
Double D: In Japan...
I appreciate the reference
Random thing but... I am curious if there is a crossover fanfic between these two series?
Turns out there isn't a fanfic between these two series far as I can tell... someone should fix that
@@TheDracoStar I remember the cartoon network website had an Ed edd n eddy flash game about spinning tops, that's pretty close right?
I don't get it
The metal masters anime and metal beyblades were such a big part of my childhood, it's so cool to have a video dedicated to them!
When I was kid, i went to a summer camp and I remember there was an entire social hierarchy with beyblades. If you have the best beyblade you were known as cool
The SF alpha box art reference goes crazy
It's quite fitting that Ryuga would resemble Akuma. If the only thing that can put a person down for good is LITERAL DIVINE FORCE, you are not an antagonist you're a force of destruction.
Ryuga is king of kids toy anime
The “Crappy Fighting Game EVO” is mentioned once again. I wait for the glorious day such an event becomes real. (It will justify my 100+ hours on Metal Masters from when I was a kid)
Jack, I'm gonna be honest-I think you're my absolute favourite youtuber now. You're the same height as me, you were/are a TBFP fan, you're FUNNY, you're SUPER INFORMATIVE, you're FASCINATING. Thank you for being you. I would've never learned the actual real world history behind the concept of Top-Fights without you.
Genuinely, you're the best.
I just realized that you could've done these episodes during may and called it The Toys that May'd Us.
Not gonna lie, "Beyblade Fighting Game" wasn't on my bingo card for 2024, but I'm glad it showed up anyways, it looks rad
I'm so happy I grew up with the Metal Fury/Metal Masters line of beys, because at least those were pretty close to the original japanese versions. Imagine being a kid growing up with the Hasbro Burst system, getting older, and finding out how BAD you got robbed.
This is unironically one of the best researched bey videos I've seen in a while.
I really like the idea of the final boss being the embodiment of the Dinosaurs Vengeance, and then sits around watching two tops spin around and hit another.
God damn it, now this video makes me want to make a super-tanky Beyblade that just spins in the middle and _refuses_ to move no matter how many times it gets bopped. I wanna be the iron wall of Beyblade.
As a person who was into beyblade for almost all of the Metal series and imported in JP beys to get the actual gimmicks has ro skimped out on. And a brother who is literally at a betblade tournament RIGHT Now, Beyblade will always hold a special place in my heart
Excellent video! And thanks guys for liking the art thumbnail :D
[Thumbnail artist here! o/]
I am in love with that GOATED THUMBNAIL
Ryuga was an absolute menace and I loved him for it!
waking up to an hour long video about beyblade by THE bumblington fumblington, life is good
Beyblade is monetized Autism and its insane
And that's why we love them
That’s more accurate to Sonic.
That explains everything
And yet as an autistic guy I always thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen. I was too loyal to Pokemon.
@@Nathan-rb3qpI mean sonic is autism incarnate
The 1st Beyblade protagonist was in a fighting game against Simon Belmont and Optimus Prime. Dreamix TV World Fighters was wierd...
I kinda expected Jack's rendition of the Metal Master's theme song for the intro, that song was ICONIC-
40:45 In the manga Ryuga lives. There is two different counterparts to Ryuga. The anime makes him a power hungry anti-hero and the manga makes him a literal almost 1 thousand year old dragon king. I am not joking just ask Takafumi Adachi this and you will be surprised that this is indeed part of Ryuga's lore
yeah, the manga is an alternate universe of the show, and in both Ryuga is _him._
Himothy, if you will
This MF is even MORE cracked in the manga?
im so glad someone else out there understand how fucking cracked Ryuga is
shoutouts to Gjinka's tails miles prower type beat sidekick went to RYUGA for advice on how to be better
its like isabelle from animal crossing getting advice from griffith
Me and my friends were obsessed with these back in middle school. Shouting “LET IT RIP” in the middle of the lunchroom whenever we played with these levels of obsessed. We saw every episode of the show as the dub aired on Cartoon Network, all that.
I do not use the phrase “cringe” lightly, and I’ll happily grant the nuance that we were neurodivergent middle schoolers at the time, but it was super cringe.
Edit: On a related note, literally everything Jack said about Ryuga is 100% true.
Beyblade was actually why I got scammed for the first place! it was in 2nd grade, I was two years ahead so I was 5 years old meanwhile everyone else was 7. so I was showing one of my beyblades to this guy during recess, the purple eagle one from Beyblade Metal Fusion iirc, and he asked if he could borrow it, and I said sure, but he didn't give it back to me lol. I had to ask my dad to tell the kid to give me back my beyblade, and he did.
also really love the Alpha 2 reference in the thumbnail, huge props to the artist!
I'm so ready for Jack to actually announce Crappy EVO at some point. I will join and go 0-2
When I was an elementary student, I was OBSESSED with the Metal Fusion and Metal Masters animes when they were on Cartoon Network, even more than I was with Pokémon, and they were my introduction into Beyblades in general.
Sadly, I was a stupid kid and thought Ginka Hagane’s English voice was the coolest thing ever. I now see that he was in fact annoying to hear. Carman Melville’s Ryuga voice is still badass though, and that theme song lives in my head for all eternity.
Honestly aside from Ginka's dubbed voice the cast was okay at worst but 100% with Melville as Ryuga. I recently marathoned Bakugan as sort of background noise and realised that it's the same group of voice actors when hearing some of the voice actors (Melville shows up as a villain late in the first series, Lync in New Vestroia is Ginka, and Spectra also in New Vestroia is Dashan from Masters).
Metal Masters DS was arguably one of the DS games I spent the most time on as a kid. AMAZING game I need to pick up again.
Dude, when world famous liar Jack Firstname said there were no good Beyblade games I was so ready for the switcharoo.
@@kratangg-arang This was barely about the fighting game and just Bumbles spearing on for about an hour over Beyblade and I'm all here for it. I wonder if I could get people to set up a MMDS bracket lol
Jack I hope you realize you just made the coolest thumbnail in YT History and that I now need to grind out Sagat combos in Alpha 2 again.
BURST IS INSANELY UNDERRATED IM SOOO GLAD ITS GETTING ANY AMOUNT OF LOVE
Honestly Burst just went off the deep end after turbo
@@jninja1764 it really did. I stopped watching after turbo, but still enjoyed the beys that came afterwards
@@jninja1764I mean sure, but at least Takara Tomy still made them feel good to hold and play with
After turbo the everything just started to get bad
Ryuga is the Akuma of Beyblade. He decimated everyone in that series, and gave them early retirements and intense PTSDs. The fact that it took God himself to beat him. That shows how much of a huge GOAT he is. He decimated a floating city with his own Beyblade.
I can see why the artist who drew your thumbnail. Took inspiration from SF Alpha 2, cause it fits Ryuga's personality well with Akuma's.
Not to mention, he woke back up from death and KILLED GOD
I love that there's a fighting game where the only visual difference between the fighters is the colors and the crazy stuff that comes out when they attack each other. Beyblade Metal Masters is a rare breed and should be treasured as such. I was going to specify that I meant the game before I remembered everything about Ryuga.
I could get used to this whole “Jack not talking about something entirely Gamecube related” thing
I wonder when Japan will ever animefy the last of the ancient 3, yo-yo's
Ryuga is the GOAT
Also, glad to see you also appreciate the insanity of Ryuga.
1:41 What you're telling me is that she sells seashells?
Now we HAVE TO know where she does. If by the seashore, then this is huge!
Beyblade is just like Pokemon in the Fact that, The Addiction Comes in Burst for Both and Your Wallet Will never be the Same, Every Time it Hits.
ROCK LEONE! The one good starter bey from Metal Fusion!
By the way I still find it crazy how Meteo L-Drago's absorbing powers are actually scientifically true, I remember how I bursted in laughter when me and my brothers launched it by hand and saw it win
a freight train of nostalgia just hit me
Grumbles McNumbles, in your fnaf video you claimed to never be wrong, but in this video you told us you lie to us. You're toying with my trust
Lying isn't the same thing as being wrong. You still know the right information, you're just stating the opposite to mislead people.
48:00 I just want to confirm he is 6’5, man has the height of a tower. The question is if he has pizza
I love the way these vids focus on the history of the toys before going into the games. That approach really shines here
Oh my God, really!!!! You're literally my favorite creator!! You've covered punch out, TF2, and now beyblade?!? That's fuckin, I can't even... I'm genuinely in tears of joy dawg!
As a long time competitive blader, good shit bumbles! Good shit
Edit: also, heck you bumbles, you really just boiled down several years of launch and bey testing to "making a beyblade that runs away" and then called me a coward lmao. I've been had! Well played bumbles, well played
hi zandanza
@@friedpasta2983 I PastaFriedge
I love this guy. I never cared for Beyblade, yet, I watched this for a hour straight. Dang he's good.
I LOVED this video, beyblade has been one of my favorite things in the world since I was a kid, so seeing you both tackle the hobby in such an in-depth way, plus talking about such a cool video game as metal masters is, has been just great.
in 10 years bayblade will be considered a weapon
10 years ago it already was
One of the unmentioned part about the Beyblade X series? They're remaking V-Force and Metal Burst Beys for this new generation. So old fans can come back into the absolute *best* generation we've gotten.
Jack can finally get his Leone.
This brings back memories of me and my brother playing with bootleg beyblades in a wok almost burning the house down... good times.
As a kid the Metal Series was absolutely amazing, I still have so many good memories of my Leone and Pegasus beys
We used to have fuckin beyblade days with the bros it was nuts...
What the fuck is up with this Ryuga guy
You know what's funniest? Nothing. He's not a special blader he just wanted L Drago so took it
Man is just genuinely Him, nothing more nothing less
@@bumblesmcfumbles
You’re telling me some random shit starter just decided to pick up one of the most powerful artifacts and become one step below god?
I need to watch this anime now.
@@goroakechi6126
Sorry, ABOVE.
HE UNDID HIS DEATH AND KILLED GOD AS HE WAS COLLAPSING THE SUN INTO A BLACK HOLE.
though he died right after but here's some of his achievements:
- took down 3 militias at once
- destroyed a floating city singlehandedly (literally)
- tore through spacetime
- tore through a physical black hole by destroying the singularity
- achieved a domain expansion (debatable)
- tanked a carpet bombing
- took over and collapsed 2 companies
- ~850 thousand victories with only 2 losses
- "killed" the sun god Sol
- Isekai'd himself and blew up the sun for the funny
and finally..
- hospitalizing and killing people irl through seizures (or blood loss through nosebleeds)
*THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAAAATTTTT*
Love the SF Alpha 2 reference thumbnail lol
Ahh, beyblade. Back in school they had a bowl shaped thing as part of the playground where people played, and someone got so mad they kept losing they brought pepper spray and coated the entire bowl. Beyblade wasn't allowed anymore
That was the greatest intro Ive ever heard in my life
Edit: that was the best video Ive seen. And it was due to beyblade. Im mad at how good it is. Thanks
There better be a seperate segment in this video dedicated to how Ryuga is the funniest peice of shit in this entire franchise.
I used to play beyblade, before half my collection got stolen.
That sucks. How much was it worth?
@@jokerofspades-xt3bs I was a 3rd grade kid, so whatever I brought to school (probably a bad idea, but since someone also brought theirs I wanted to partake)
Beyblades have been there more in my life than my dad ever has, so It’s great to see commemorate the item Moses used to part the seas near Father’s Day.😁👌
Hasbro overmilking something with poor quality to kill it faster but extract every bit of sweet sweet juice from the corpse?
No, I've never heard of that. I don't even know what Magic: the Gathering is.
Ryuga taunting Gingka about getting a better beyblade from his dad gets even funnier when you remember that at that point Gingka thought his dad was dead. And he thought his dad was dead because, if I recall correctly, Ryuga dropped a mountain on him.
Honestly, it's cool hearing about how complex beyblade actually is.
I can't help being excited for beyblade X while also being simultaneously terrified that hasbro is making them.
Loving the Thumbnail Art Yet AGAIN.
I love ya, call it Junestalgia
Hello I'm the Junestalgia critic, I remember it and so do you
@@bumblesmcfumblessee it’s perfect
I remembered L-Drago’s left spinning just being a tricky gimmick that messed with people. I didn’t know it had that kind of power.
I also wanted only one Beyblade when I was little, but I actually wanted one that none of the ones from Metal Fusion, the only one I watched had, because those were theirs. I got Grand Cetus.
like... the swan??
@@christopherearth9714 It was a whale.
