Kai was the reason I watched Beyblade! His speech in his battle with Brooklyn is absolutely awesome & timeless!! I'm 28 and I still remember everything like yesterday! 2003-07; Damn! Good times.
I can only say this, that, Original will always stay original and there can never be any character like Kai. He is very unique and very special. My most favourite person forever.
Regardless that doesn’t make the metal series any less special than the original. Ryuga was a great character and the overall plot from Dark Nebula to Nemesis was pretty well written
@@Romayf11 I agree. I've seen many characters having personality like Kai but none of them can ever be like. He is literally absolutely balanced. His kindness, his arrogance, his spirit, his weakness, his passion, his love, his love-hate relationship with beyblade, his wanting to be no.1, his true feelings, his everything (If I could I could've written a book about him) is just perfectly balanced, which makes him really admirable ☺️☺️.
@@yousufkhan-jy5lp I can't really tell anything about that as I haven't watched it but, it is the truth that each series has its own flavour, for you metal series might be a bit more appealing but to me the original series and Kai has already taken the no.1 spot in my heart. I've watched more than 500 anime series but I have never found any anime that made me feel that rush inside of me that I felt when was watching beyblade (I literally ran to my house from my school everyday to not miss a single scene), and as I have said multiple times I've never seen any character even close to how much appealing Kai was to me (I still remember the very first time I saw him, with that sunset background and that powerful aura around him, I was Jaw dropped and didn't know what to say, all I could think was, "this guy is perfect" 😁😁.
Thank you Kai for teaching me about 'Strong Fighting Sprit'. I believe every kid should watch Beyblade to learn how to be determined, fair and hard work.
@@theeleventh805gamer7 I'm not going to try to start an argument like you see on other beyblade videos and stuff but I don't really like metal. Not to say it was trash, I would take that any day over beywheelz. But I personally like gen 1 more then burst then metal.
@@asaaaf8413 ya, I agree, the anime has been very disappointing recently, also I’m not caught up on the sparking anime, so please don’t spoil what happens in the recent episodes but I don’t care about spoilers for Burst anymore.
Kai The Best BayBlader Ever. He could have defeated Tyson in the finals if it wasn't because Kai was tired of battling Spencer and the other guy (forgot his name) right before facing a fresh Tyson.
Also pretty sure he could have finished tyson with a blazing reverse something move whoch was gonna win but he purposely stopped it i think cuz everyone says he stopped it
@@zohaibahmed9738Tyson hangs a lot on plot armor, kai was easily the stronger one in the final tournament at ep 23 of Beyblade g-force. He normally loses cause he wants to face Tyson at his peak(Tyson at peak is super strong)
@@RavenPaventhat would have destroyed the whole plot of Beyblade og, black dronzer died when they tried to get their bitbeasts from it after kai sent his black dronzer into the Russian lab
@@saygexwithme We saw though in season 1 that somebBit Beasts are artifically created. They (Boris) could have just created a new one and give it to Brooklyn .
Kai was always my favorite blader. I stopped watching beyblade after Daichi and Tyson won the tag team tournament and everyone changed them minutes afterwards. Those was the days
Only in amine you can make a plot that goes "He decided to don a scarf and face paint and swore revenge against the toy that stole his father away from him"
Kai is and always be the best beyblade character, sure he was a massive ass early on but his character development was amazing and he honestly i would say much better than a lot of anime lone wolf characters. Even when i watched the show when it first came out, Kai became a huge favourite of mine right away.
Here more differences between the Manga and Anime on Kai : - The world Championship in the Manga on season 1, was interrupted by the Demolition Boys, and they have to go a battle with them - In which Kai has the face against Bryan, the battle of the two birds, while in the anime he faces Spencer - There is no "Tournament world championship" on the V-Force manga, and on the manga, the "physics" are like way more powerful while the "Saint shields" or whatever is called are weaker in the manga and they only fought Ray and Tyson. - He also lost against Zeo on the V-Force manga but it wasn't in a tournament environment, it was cuz Kai have to battle him after Zeo beat Tyson - In the manga Brooklyn does not exist, so we don't see that badass battle in the manga :( - All the final part of "VEGA" does not exist in the manga and it's only anime exclusive - However in the manga it is shown that Kai can go toe to toe with Tyson, and at the beginning of G Revolution, Tala by himself "DESTROYS" both Daichi and Tyson - Also in the manga it shown on a better light how Kai joined the "Demolition Boys", he 1v1 the midget Pinocchio dude with the snake bit beast from that team, and destroyed his blade , and with that Kai took his spot - The G Revolution manga ends when Kai and Tyson are disputing the grand finals but never revealed who won it on the epilogue - However, there is a sequel to G revolution, and on that sequel Kai has a positive win record against Tyson.
My favorite Beyblade character and one of my favorite anime characters of all time there's so much to learn from him and I can relate to him in so many ways
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 I think my personality is very similar to his and there's a lot of things you can learn from him just like any other anime character like how he handles situations, hardwork,freindship and he stands out to me out of all other characters in Beyblade which is one of the first few animes which I ever watched it is still one that I really enjoy and it never gets old
Fun fact Tyson and Kai were actually based off of Red and Blue from the Pokémon adventures manga. However I can understand why ppl said kai reminds them of Vegeta/Hiei/Sasuke
I forgot how much i loved this show. I mean i must have really loved it because i forgot how much i HATED V force. I thought i quit the series there but i remember watching it alll the way up to G -Revolution. I remember that battle on the ice, and how cool it was having Kai come back,?I remember that epic battle between him and Tyson, lol damn i may have to just go watch it again.
When I watched Beyblade for the first time I never really liked Kai's character as much as Tyson's but I think in G revolution his story and actions really moved me and he became one of my favourites
I swear nothing like the OG beyblade. Lowkey they just need to either a remaster or reboot of the original. To me these character are a lot more interesting that these new ones
Dang a blast from the past. I guess with pokemon being in a video this was the next step and maybe we will see bobobo-bobobo or blue dragon or shaman king
wow my childhood has been creeping back up on me this year. I was looking up scenes from a series called 'Lexx' which had a starring character named 'Kai' in it and somehow ended up here watching videos about my fave character Kai from freaking beyblade when I was like.... 9? 10? idk, alls i remember is I had like 5 tops and 2-3 of those cheap plastic arenas and afterschool games were the BEST.
I was allways ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with Kai!! Probably my favorite anime character along with Kakashi from Naruto which is a little funny now that i realise they have pretty similar roles. I guess Im weak for the silent leader type with IMENSE POWER!!!
Great video! I was a big fan of Kai when I was kid, and use to have some of his dranzer blades. After watching this, I would love to see him make a comeback in a future series. If so, then I would like him as a mentor character similar to that of Rocky, Tom Oliver, and Sasuke Uchiha! Well I don't know about you, but what do you think?
My favorite anime character of all time. Love that dude when I was a kid and I still love him now. His spirit and determination makes him so likeable. Plus his design rules, like scarf plus purple plus face paint and gray hair. Awesome. Training in Russia to become a better blader despite the cold? What a legend.
I dont know how youtube does it man...i never typed in Kai in the search bar here, but I was talking about him earlier in discord...i come home and I see this in my front page.. Wow.
Which characters should we cover next?
cover rock lee from naruto!!!!
Sakura haruno
Tobirama
Ryuga
Hi how are you u
Beyblade was the first anime i ever saw, and to this day to me Kai remains the coolest guy in all of anime.
To me, Kai is like the mascot of the beyblade franchise. He's so iconic
I played the toys b4 i learned about the anime. So technically my first anime was dbz
@@jahsuo4254 for me its ryuga and free i like kai a lot tooo
I like Kai and Ray a lot in this because there just to cool and always layed back
Beyblade was also the first anime I have ever seen, and is my favorite.
Now THATS a name I haven’t heard in a long time
IKR i was kinda shook
Ya
Same I totally forgot about it
Sameeeeeeeee!!!

Everytime he is defeated he rises stronger. Like a Phoenix
Or like... An anime protagonist ^^
Actually that applies to Tyson as well.
@@preethisanthoshpreethisant6161 Kai is better.
Btw., Dranzer isn't a phoenix.

@@dranzergigs8333 yeah this got least views as compared to others😢😢😢😢
I honestly liked his character development in Vforce showing how supportive he is to his team.
I’m happy somewhat finally brought up beyblade after so long it’s so underrated
Only Kai can control black dronzer power and he is the only member who tied up with saint shields dunga that proves how strong and powerful he is ❤
dronzer? 😂🤣
I wonder what would have happened if they gave Black dranzer to Brooklyn instead of Zeus.

@@RavenPaven yes and they were extremely unstable. And I specifically talked about Dragoon, Dronzer, Driger and Draciel.
God even as a kid,i used to think how much of a Edgylord Kai really is.
Doesn't change the fact that he is still one of my favorite character.
Newcomer: starts playing beyblade
Kai: so you chose death.
I loved Kai as a kid. Original Beyblade is pretty cool
Every girl had a crush on Kai when they were small
@Shaiane O Hara yep. Good old days
Lol Fr!! That's me ❤️
Can seriously confirm this....
True though 🌟
Yup true
Kai was always my favourite . They always did bad with him by making Tyson win against him
Kai was always my favorite blader. I stopped watching beyblade after Daichi and Tyson won the tag team tournament and everyone changed them minutes afterwards. Those was the days
He is my favorite character of all Beyblade shows. Sue me.
@SOLiXwhat makes him your favorite?
Kai one of my favorite OG anime characters. He has one of the coolest character designs and who doesnt love the bad-boy cool swav attitide to match?
Only in amine you can make a plot that goes "He decided to don a scarf and face paint and swore revenge against the toy that stole his father away from him"
Remove beyblade and add football, and history will make sense
Kai is and always be the best beyblade character, sure he was a massive ass early on but his character development was amazing and he honestly i would say much better than a lot of anime lone wolf characters. Even when i watched the show when it first came out, Kai became a huge favourite of mine right away.
The very first anime hero of my childhood that I found sooo cool. Kai and Yami Yugi. Thanks to Anime, Japan and RTL2 my childhood was awesome :D
I resonate with Kai so much. My favourite character. He’s so elegant and mysterious and I think a lot of us could learn something from him.
Can we talk about how great the dub soundtrack was. I jammed to that shit
Best soundtrack in any anime/cartoon for me.
I was literally just thinking this. It's impossible for me to watch it subbed because the soundtrack completely changes the vibe.
I still listen to the OST and BGM on UA-cam channels.
Just his name alone brought me back to my childhood. This is my favorite beyblader
Disclaimer: a very high dosage of nostalgia in this video
Here more differences between the Manga and Anime on Kai :
- The world Championship in the Manga on season 1, was interrupted by the Demolition Boys, and they have to go a battle with them
- In which Kai has the face against Bryan, the battle of the two birds, while in the anime he faces Spencer
- There is no "Tournament world championship" on the V-Force manga, and on the manga, the "physics" are like way more powerful while the "Saint shields" or whatever is called are weaker in the manga and they only fought Ray and Tyson.
- He also lost against Zeo on the V-Force manga but it wasn't in a tournament environment, it was cuz Kai have to battle him after Zeo beat Tyson
- In the manga Brooklyn does not exist, so we don't see that badass battle in the manga :(
- All the final part of "VEGA" does not exist in the manga and it's only anime exclusive
- However in the manga it is shown that Kai can go toe to toe with Tyson, and at the beginning of G Revolution, Tala by himself "DESTROYS" both Daichi and Tyson
- Also in the manga it shown on a better light how Kai joined the "Demolition Boys", he 1v1 the midget Pinocchio dude with the snake bit beast from that team, and destroyed his blade , and with that Kai took his spot
- The G Revolution manga ends when Kai and Tyson are disputing the grand finals but never revealed who won it on the epilogue
- However, there is a sequel to G revolution, and on that sequel Kai has a positive win record against Tyson.
Lol the midged Pinochi dude, why you gotta do my boi Ian like that
The good old days man. I miss that time so much.
"True power of friendship" 3 against 1 and an extra beyblade. Yeah sounds about right.
well black dranzer was strong enough to take them all out but yes.. back then the "power of friendship" nonsense was pretty popular 😂

Im impressed this is a genuinely stable and sustainable video format and concept.
to all the kids whowhere not alive in the 2000's,

What about the OG Zuko ?
Cool I like you bc you explained the story's from start to beginning from manga to anime your the best
I had a HUGE CRUSH on him
are you a boy or girl
Me tooooo 😂😂😂
G revolution kai was goldly awesome
One thing I never figured out, how did Kai get Dranzer GT? Or was it just supposed to be "this exist now"
You do realise that people in that world people can build their own Blades? Most of team members build their own Blades from time to time offscreen.

Glad to see this vid!👍
When I watched Beyblade for the first time I never really liked Kai's character as much as Tyson's but I think in G revolution his story and actions really moved me and he became one of my favourites
Have some respect for kai hiwatari he is my number 1 blader of all time his dranzer is the best bey in my opinion so yeah
I swear nothing like the OG beyblade. Lowkey they just need to either a remaster or reboot of the original. To me these character are a lot more interesting that these new ones
Same man metal and burst series could never match up with og
Love Beyblade. And I've always thought Kai is one of the coolest anime characters I ever came across.
Grew up a huge Tyson fan but as an Adult I find Kai to be more badass But Tyson and Dragoon are still my favorite
Thank you for this! I always wondered what happened to Kai if he “died” after he disappeared. Great video!
Ryuga , kai and shu are legends
Former leader of Bladebreakers too. He was selected as the leader by Mr. Dickenson when Bladebreakers was formed.
whole new respect
