B-Daman Crossfire was the anime series I remember - it came on Saturday mornings on TheCW. It was a fun show, its a shame most of the other series never made it to the US.
Super Sonic88 at that time America is scared of foreign cartoon shows... oh also they still hate sex and nudes. What wrong with them? They’re not cultured enough to understand.
I think Crossfire was bad because they played a game to knockdown the pins instead of fighting each other.... I prefer the anime series that came before.
i convinced a friend of mine to watch it( b daman crossfire) and he said that it was eh ,kinda bad. that me sad. crossfire will always be in my heart no matter what
I recently watched both crossfire and fireblast i was more of a cartoon network guy back in the day so i watched animes like bakugan, beyblade and yugioh this is a great series but i prefer crossfire over fireblast.
This was one of my favorite show when I was a child and I've been trying to remember the name for years and I searched "a show where they fight by shooting balls" and this popped up and bloody heck I love this underrated gem
4:25 THIS was the reason I woke up early, it was entertaining! Also there was a series with the B-Daman acting as actual guns? I need to watch that now
they used to sell these bomberman toys in the 25 cent capsule machine in front of some grocery stores in the late 80's/early 90's. they were just like b da man but shot a small bead sized plasic ball instead of a glass marble, and looked more like bomberman.
I love that show. Never miss single episode every week but then exam come and i was unable to watch another 3 episode. Then i was never get to find nor found the show ever again
I know it's not a show to be taken seriously, but I loved it so much. It was actually one of my very first introductions to anime and I always seem to revisit it after so many years down the road. I just get these random surges like: "You know what? Time to watch Bdaman again."
I can’t be the only one who thought there was only one series and that it never got continued in the U.S. I only remember the series that aired on ABC Family (Jetix).
Here's some news. A few months ago, Takara Tomy released a brand new series of B-Daman called *Cap Revolution Bottleman* as well as Reboot of the B-Daman anime with the same name. This new series consists of the figures called Bottleman, they shoot Bottle caps instead of Marbles, Bottleman are comprised of Four parts which are Core, Arms, Leg, and Headpiece, Bottleman are smaller compared to B-Daman and the Core is shaped like a tiny bottle, the top of the core has a Screw shape that can Accommodate actual Bottle caps from real life Brands such as Coca-Cola. Bottleman are named after brands such as Colamaru which is based off of Coca-Cola or Aquasports which is based off of a sports drink from japan. Bottleman have Three types which are Power, Speed, and Control, and they have a Game on the Nintendo Switch, which is the Very first B-Daman game to be released in years. And that is what Bottleman is.
That's actually have a sequel of cap Kakumei Bottleman dx we have more characters Seimei Usami, Kaori Hakase, Tsubasa Akaushi, Up Nana, Io Eri Hocari Ryo, Sub Roland, Professor Rootbeer, Ponta Hayari citrus, Leo Kinjishi, haku kurenai, zan santa new husbando waifu cough cough.
7:33 damnn my friends used to love this op we always wait for it to show up in the Tv and we always had fun and now violence all over the place and 18+ that and there i miss my childhood days 😩
@Roko- OW & Geometry Dash sorry about my 6 month's self for not saying it clearly, Its about our environment, I didn't mean about the TV having violence nor 18+ stuff my friends are perverted nowdays that's what i meant about 18+ and sometimes they get violent as a joke.
I still have Battle B-Daman on GBA. I don't know about the other games, but it's honestly the best I could ask for in terms of bringing the toys into a game. Anime plot, full B-Daman customization, multiple game modes, I think there was a multiplayer function in there somewhere I never got to play. It was a great way to experience the series when the toys were too expensive or hard to find.
French just needs extra attention to details because it's such a complex language. Using google translate to translate to french often butchers the french grammar, and meaning of your translated sentences. You probably wouldn't notice this if french isn't your main language.
I really miss B-Daman its a really big part of my childhood and I remember begging my mom and working hard in school to get one until I finally got Thunder Draycan
I remember being in Malaysia, one of the countries to get a direct english dub of Cross Fight B-Daman without the Hasbro licensing(as in it was under Cross Fight instead of Crossfire making these episodes really hard to find since not many people recorded them) and the original opening was kept. I remember listening to it and loving it as well as Cross Fight ES, these were some of my first exposures to B-Daman and I absolutely loved the anime, specifically ES because tbh, the og Cross Fight was just Bakugan but with a more pathetic protagonist. I still enjoy watching both today and rocking to the openings though, like if you were one of those lucky few to watch the og direct dub of the Cross Fight and ES anime
After seeing reviews of old cartoons that covered pretty much anything besides B-Daman, I'm glad to see someone's actually doing a cover on this show. I only saw a few episodes as a kid but I think this is where my love of anime started as a whole. The opening for the B-Legend B-Daman gave me nostalgic chills up my spine and a stupid smile. Thanks for that.
I miss this so much 😭 This show was literally my entire childhood along with Pokemon and Beyblade. I really want it to come back. I still some of my b damans but sadly most arw broken or lost except Dravise. Edit: Also i have checked literally almost every toy storw in my country and no nore b daman stuff. It used to be so so popular now it died. If Takara Tomy actually brought back the toys it would get so popular.
ikr in 2020 im watching this and every time he says some rly old date lik 2013 and so on i felt like crying. are you still there? 1 month old bdaman fan?
BRO I’VE BEEN TRYING TO REMEMBER THIS FOR SO LONG THANK YOU I think i found my first and only b-daman at a farmers market or something. It looked like evolto from kamen rider build, but that wasn’t out in 2016
Wow, I learnt some things about B-Daman I didn't know from this video. Thank you man. Cool video! Hopefully my spiritual successor series goes down in B-Daman history too.
I realize now that there are so many franchises worth reviving, despite the fact that many have either forgotten about them, or don't even know that they exist.
6:57 the Philippines was able to broadcast an English Dub of the Series in the country's version of Toonami, I remember they aired all 50 episodes and I remember it fondly the Takara Versions of these B-Damans
I’m clearing my room and found one and ended up here just wondering wtf it is. I’m guessing my mom found one and bought one for me because it was cool looking.
Oh my mfking childhood... Starting from Battle B-Daman, and so forth. Watching them every Saturday at my local TV. Now I realized that since child, anime and Japan culture has impacted me already...
Used to be my favorite cartoon as a kid. I used to wake up at 5:30 in the morning every morning so I could watch it at 6. Then I remember the day I found the toys at the local dollar store. I bought so many, and we used to play so much at school.
Oh my god, I totally forgot about these! Holy Crap, my childhood :DDDD These were *the shit* during recess in the early 2000s! Thanks for reminding me, I know what I'm 'bout to look for in my old stuff ^^
I love videos like this. I remember seeing one of the animes for this as a kid but I had forgotten about it despite seeing a B-Daman Crossfire commercial a while back. Keep up the good work Negative Legend.
Now this is a show i remember well i only watched Cross Fight B-Daman and eS these were the only ones i grew up with my first every exposure to the world of anime. I watched the hell out of this show i even owned a few B-Daman toys and played against my cousins i really want Cross Fight B-Daman to return just like Bakugan they can get a reboot series
Anyone here want him to talk about Buddyfight? It was a card game in my school that was even more popular than Yu Gi Oh and Pokémon. I still have my Buddyfight X deck I got from my Japanese friend after I gave him some Magic the Gathering Cards. The anime was also pretty good
Oh yeah,in Asia B-Daman was INCREDIBLY popular here in Asia.While not as popular as it used to,I still find some of its toys here and there.Got to say,it was pretty fun having some of the toys back then.Unfortunately ive lost mine,so sooner or later,B-Daman will be completely deleted from my mind.I still appreciate how much fun it game during my childhood.
battle B-daman is one of the few franchises that actualy was a part of my childhood, most other franchises seemed to have disapeared during my childhood.
I'd love to know where the name Metabots came from? I've seen multiple people call it like that, but the logos for japan call it Medarot and western ones call it Medabots. Or is Metabots different from what I'm thinking?
It's apparently still going in Japan just like Duel Masters. So it would be interesting to see since I think the only person I've seen talk about it is Lambhoot when he talked about one of the games.
@@PurpleFoxValon isn't it just medallion/medal combined with robots. Hence Medabots. Since the robots of the show have medallions placed in them to function.
The first game boy advance game I ever got was Battle B-daman. My 3rd grade free time was spent learning about the world through the GBA title. The game was so cool, and I distinctly remember the music and the visuals. I remember that you start with the cobalt blade and that you can interchange parts with a proto system like right off the bat. Best bargain bin haul ever.
I remember buying a b daman, throwing away the instructions, thinking it was a transformer, then taking everything apart, losing the pieces, loving it but with just the core. Fast forward 4 years, at a local thrift shop, I find bdaman for 2 bucks, mint condition, and I bought it. B daman were strange, but nostalgic nonetheless. Comparable to beyblade though (still collect beyblades!)
sadly the reason why it dissapeared was because many kids ended up shooting the marbles into their eyes and slightly modifying or simply pressing onto the latches that held the marbles allowing them to fire at unintended force thus causing a few issues with safety. It may seem trivial and technically the amount of force you can simply throw a marble being at the max end of what u can do with that little pushers at the back but despite all this it still caused some injury especially to the eyes as the marbles flew upwards.
Battle B-Daman used to air on YTV in the mid-2000s in Canada along shows like Pokemon, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh and the 4kids dub of One Piece, and I remember watching it many times at my babysitter's house when I was 4 throughout 2005-2006. It was actually the 2nd anime I was introduced to after Pokemon. Looking back on it as an adult, the world looks very vibrant and the character designs are fantastic. I wish it wasn't so obscure.
Thanks for bringing light to this series I grew up with, I loved this show as a kid and certainly would love to see it come back in America to see my younger family having fun playing and watching
yooooo, the gba b-daman games were really fun, I'm not going to lie. It uses the Mode 7 effect really well (I know it's modes 3 and 4 layered together on the gba for those who nitpick). Plus you can collect a ton of parts, craft your own b-daman, and fight in a few interesting ways. Unless you want to play the first game to run through the story of season 1 for nostalgia, the second game is a strict upgrade with a few more mechanics and covers the Fire Spirits story. The game play is so fun that I emulate them on my phone and play them on the bus or whenever I have downtime. They are fantastic games for anyone that has any nostalgia for the series
If you are looking for more B daman est content, a new “B daman” season can be found. Now called Bottleman, it takes the original concept of B daman but replaced the marbles with Bottle Caps to encourage recycling. Episodes can be found on UA-cam, and new Bottleman toys can also be found in select countries around Asia. Theres also a new Nintendo Switch game that has you use your physical figures to fire at digital targets
If they had brought back DHB for cross fight, the show would’ve had the revival it wanted. If they had added the side games too it would’ve been more explosive especially with bringing back such an old concept
I found this series thanks to your videos on Megaman Starforce and Megaman Battle Network. Glad I decided to subscribe, since I've always loved (and wondered why more stuff wasn't made for) B-Daman and Duel Masters. Thanks for making this series, it made me remember things I've held in my heart since I was a lot younger, and I'm glad someone has brought up these old but beloved series. (and yes I know, crossfight b-daman isn't that old, but still old enough to fade into obscurity for those who hadn't heard of the series. Also, have you thought about doing an episode on LBX?)
I FINNALY FOUND THE NAMEEEEE i used to love it as a kid but when i went to rewatch it on netflix i had forgoten the name so i spend a phew weeks searching online and to no luck gave up i suddenly remembered it and went to chat gpt since we didnt have chat gpt back then and founf it im so happy rn
13:00 The Garuburn DX Set was not Japan exclusive. My main evidence is that in my country, there were boxed of those stocked in Toys'R Us on sale. Pretty pricey back then.
B-Daman Crossfire was the anime series I remember - it came on Saturday mornings on TheCW. It was a fun show, its a shame most of the other series never made it to the US.
My favorite episode from crossfire was the final battle against Dragold
Bdaman crossfire was epic on Vortexx CW Saturday mornings
Super Sonic88 at that time America is scared of foreign cartoon shows... oh also they still hate sex and nudes. What wrong with them? They’re not cultured enough to understand.
I think Crossfire was bad because they played a game to knockdown the pins instead of fighting each other....
I prefer the anime series that came before.
Then B-daman fireblast came
I miss B-Daman. I want B-Daman to return.
same
Igualmente
So do I
I want b daman crossfire and fire blast to return
Shine on and b-daman
One thing for sure B-daman crossfire was an underrated gem
If by underrated you mean lame Gundam toy, then yes it certainly was "underrated"
Demilio Mason he’s talking about the show
Best B-Daman season!!!!
@@demiliomason1565 you didn't watch the show did you
i convinced a friend of mine to watch it( b daman crossfire) and he said that it was eh ,kinda bad. that me sad. crossfire will always be in my heart no matter what
I recently watched both crossfire and fireblast i was more of a cartoon network guy back in the day so i watched animes like bakugan, beyblade and yugioh this is a great series but i prefer crossfire over fireblast.
I agree
Same here
Me too. I love Riki.
A lot of people do (not me tho)
I love riki and Kevin!
Fun fact b daman is 25 years old
Wow cool it's the same age as me. I am also 25 currently
Also the same age as Power Rangers.
Uhh not the crossfire and fireblast
KenDrei the franchise
B daman cross fire
This was one of my favorite show when I was a child and I've been trying to remember the name for years and I searched "a show where they fight by shooting balls" and this popped up and bloody heck I love this underrated gem
Yes...
I miss this
Good thing you didn't searched on Google or else you would've seen some stuff...
"It's weird, but it exists." Welcome to anime everyone.
What is exist ? What are you talking about ?! 😕
@@blemurderbyson2033 exist means something that is real.
4:25 THIS was the reason I woke up early, it was entertaining! Also there was a series with the B-Daman acting as actual guns? I need to watch that now
Kyoya Murasaki the anime is fully subbed + the manga is fully translated too so you should check it out lol
Really? Cool!
Now all we need is Meta-Bots and we will be ah ok kay... Until we remember fighting foodons and ultimate muscle and...
ShockwaveITB basically my Saturday morning shows growing up.
Yeahup basically, and then throw in some random cartoons from magoozie like Code Lyoko
i swear to god no one remembers fighting foodons but that and medabots were some of my earliest anime
We do need medabots tho
I really miss ultimate muscle
It looks like a lot of people don't know about b-daman
they used to sell these bomberman toys in the 25 cent capsule machine in front of some grocery stores in the late 80's/early 90's. they were just like b da man but shot a small bead sized plasic ball instead of a glass marble, and looked more like bomberman.
I remember finding knock off bdaman in a dollar shop that were like that.
I had a toy like that before
Ahhhh.. nostalgia
hearing B-daman crossfire's theme gave me goosebumps its gosh darn underrated.
I remember B-Daman quite well.😢 Kinda miss it... also, can you do what happened to Tenkai Knights?
Knights of Gaming 2016 oh yeah tenkai knights i also like that show XD
I love that show. Never miss single episode every week but then exam come and i was unable to watch another 3 episode. Then i was never get to find nor found the show ever again
@@tice7217 I think Netflix has it because I was watching it on Netflix
OH MY GOD I REMEMBER IT SO WELL
Do a Whatever Happened To Zoids! :D
@Drive Check. wasn't Zoids wild the reboot? It is playing as we speak.
@Drive Check. I have quite a few problems with Wilds, mainly that the designs of the zoids don't make much sense.
@@andresmarrero8666 I think it's more of a children's anime now.
@@yincka that doesn't really excuse the lack of a cockpit.
@Negative Legend If you do a segment on Zoids, I have a question regardless towards the topic - Have you watched Zoids Wild yet?
The anime was cool ... too bad it didn't last
But the series is BACK and it's not Bottleman. Instead of dangerous marbles, they replace them with bottle caps.
Bdaman was a good series in my book
I know it's not a show to be taken seriously, but I loved it so much. It was actually one of my very first introductions to anime and I always seem to revisit it after so many years down the road. I just get these random surges like: "You know what? Time to watch Bdaman again."
I remember the 2011 one that used to come on vortex
It was 2013 and 2014 plus Vortex first aired in 2012
Chantale Clerville I know that version came on vortex around that time
B-Damian crossfire and fireblast were amazing most of my childhood was watching those two on youtube
Tbh
Fireblast is better than Crossfire since they focus more on the B daman characters when compared the latter
2020 i need to have it back i miss it so much.
me too
2020
congrats b daman is back in a name bottleman IT LOOKS SO COOL
@@thevirusty8339 really???
Check out Bottleman it the same thing but with bottle caps instead of marbles
@@unlenny1146 which is safer than the original
Long story short: it couldn't match Beyblade's popularity in the West.
not surprising considering they made bowling duels the main thing in crossfire. Lame.
@@Anthonybrother but it was popular in Asia ..
2009-2014 were the years for beyblade metal fight, nothing could top it other than pokemon maybe
It's actually pronounced "Bee-Dah-Mahn," not "Bee-Dah-Man."
The dub called it "mahn" but because of how Japanese pronounces vowels "man" is the intended pronunciation
Lmao koreans call it "Bid-man"
@Parm Mann whats maHHHHn
3393matthew Actually, the Japanese would pronounce it 'mahn', going by how -an sounds are pronounced. For example, Hachiman, Sharingan, etc
Be The Man
BRO I LOVED B-DAMAN CROSSIFRE YEARS AGO THE MEMORIES
heh, I rememer how the fire spirits dub randomly stopped right before the finals of the winners tournament, right after enju's "death"
I can’t be the only one who thought there was only one series and that it never got continued in the U.S. I only remember the series that aired on ABC Family (Jetix).
Looks like there's a new Godzilla thing I need to buy

Can you please do a video on What happened to LBX?
Oh my gosh yes please. I loved that series so much!
and you can agree with me that you at least tried to find an LBX model kit
Yeah, I did! I couldn't find them in any stores near me...
The only place you can find them now is on Amazon, and they are f&@&$;$&& expensive.
the anime got ruined when it was dubbed. apparently it was censored.
maybe for your next video, you should look into baywheels or the battle spirits tcg

Remember kids playing for keeps in grade 4 and having one of my bdman stolen.
I LOVED Crossfight B-Daman and I still do
B-Daman and Beyblade were my favorites back then

*Also me : drowns in nostalgia*
Oh my mfking childhood... Starting from Battle B-Daman, and so forth. Watching them every Saturday at my local TV.
Now I realized that since child, anime and Japan culture has impacted me already...
Was never too into the series, but from the lack of information that was found, it doesn't seem like much happened, or is still happening.
Used to be my favorite cartoon as a kid. I used to wake up at 5:30 in the morning every morning so I could watch it at 6. Then I remember the day I found the toys at the local dollar store. I bought so many, and we used to play so much at school.
An interesting fact: b-daballs are the same size (or at least very close) as .68 caliber paintballs
crossfire bdaman was my childhood
RIP Bdablader.
Oh my god, I totally forgot about these! Holy Crap, my childhood :DDDD These were *the shit* during recess in the early 2000s! Thanks for reminding me, I know what I'm 'bout to look for in my old stuff ^^

This definately has a different feel compared to your newer videos. I always wondered where your old icon for your channel came from.

I remember that you start with the cobalt blade and that you can interchange parts with a proto system like right off the bat.
Best bargain bin haul ever.
I remember buying a b daman, throwing away the instructions, thinking it was a transformer, then taking everything apart, losing the pieces, loving it but with just the core. Fast forward 4 years, at a local thrift shop, I find bdaman for 2 bucks, mint condition, and I bought it. B daman were strange, but nostalgic nonetheless. Comparable to beyblade though (still collect beyblades!)
I had a ton of these toys growing up. Definitely a cool toy. Had a blast playing with them
sadly the reason why it dissapeared was because many kids ended up shooting the marbles into their eyes and slightly modifying or simply pressing onto the latches that held the marbles allowing them to fire at unintended force thus causing a few issues with safety.
It may seem trivial and technically the amount of force you can simply throw a marble being at the max end of what u can do with that little pushers at the back but despite all this it still caused some injury especially to the eyes as the marbles flew upwards.
Its really weird that Negative Legend is no longer using his digitally drawn avatar but I still adore is irl appearance's glamorous power
The main players in my childhood that vanished: b-daman, buddyfight, and vangaurd. WHYD THEY DISSAPEAR
Battle B-Daman used to air on YTV in the mid-2000s in Canada along shows like Pokemon, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh and the 4kids dub of One Piece, and I remember watching it many times at my babysitter's house when I was 4 throughout 2005-2006. It was actually the 2nd anime I was introduced to after Pokemon. Looking back on it as an adult, the world looks very vibrant and the character designs are fantastic. I wish it wasn't so obscure.
I loved watching Battle B-Daman alongside reruns of Beast Wars and clips of Kaiju Big Battel.
Grey was my favorite character.
i love your content, negative legend! pls keep up the good work!
Thanks for bringing light to this series I grew up with, I loved this show as a kid and certainly would love to see it come back in America to see my younger family having fun playing and watching
I always enjoy your vids man great work ^^
yooooo, the gba b-daman games were really fun, I'm not going to lie. It uses the Mode 7 effect really well (I know it's modes 3 and 4 layered together on the gba for those who nitpick). Plus you can collect a ton of parts, craft your own b-daman, and fight in a few interesting ways. Unless you want to play the first game to run through the story of season 1 for nostalgia, the second game is a strict upgrade with a few more mechanics and covers the Fire Spirits story. The game play is so fun that I emulate them on my phone and play them on the bus or whenever I have downtime. They are fantastic games for anyone that has any nostalgia for the series
Still have my b daman, wish I had marbles though
TropicalCyclone
What B daman’s ya still got?
I used to bdaman but not any more
I gots le Dracyan and Dravise bro :d
If you are looking for more B daman est content, a new “B daman” season can be found. Now called Bottleman, it takes the original concept of B daman but replaced the marbles with Bottle Caps to encourage recycling. Episodes can be found on UA-cam, and new Bottleman toys can also be found in select countries around Asia. Theres also a new Nintendo Switch game that has you use your physical figures to fire at digital targets
I hate that I can never hear the word "B-daman" and not hear people say "Beat a man"... let's go play some Beat a Man!
B-daman crosfire was my childhood
If they had brought back DHB for cross fight, the show would’ve had the revival it wanted. If they had added the side games too it would’ve been more explosive especially with bringing back such an old concept
I found this series thanks to your videos on Megaman Starforce and Megaman Battle Network. Glad I decided to subscribe, since I've always loved (and wondered why more stuff wasn't made for) B-Daman and Duel Masters. Thanks for making this series, it made me remember things I've held in my heart since I was a lot younger, and I'm glad someone has brought up these old but beloved series. (and yes I know, crossfight b-daman isn't that old, but still old enough to fade into obscurity for those who hadn't heard of the series. Also, have you thought about doing an episode on LBX?)
what happened to battle spirits next please
I'd say I'm surprised that it lasted so long, but then Beyblade's still around after nearly two decades.
I was like 4 when this was a thing in EU, yet i still remember it like it was yesterday
I FINNALY FOUND THE NAMEEEEE i used to love it as a kid but when i went to rewatch it on netflix i had forgoten the name so i spend a phew weeks searching online and to no luck gave up i suddenly remembered it and went to chat gpt since we didnt have chat gpt back then and founf it im so happy rn
13:00 The Garuburn DX Set was not Japan exclusive. My main evidence is that in my country, there were boxed of those stocked in Toys'R Us on sale. Pretty pricey back then.
