Hi folks - this video is a pretty long one, I appreciate all of you whom stuck around to watch it. What are your thoughts on the first season overall?
~Ray~
Theres a moment where Ray hurt his leg or ankle and tyson is carrying him to the stadium and I'm thinking just dragoons hurricane attack to blow him to the stadium. They dont do that. He just carries him the entire way. I like that
@@Sonicfalcon16 lmao that’s funny, now that I think of it Tyson must have been hella strong and quick to have carried Ray all the way 😂
I never knew the full story I only caught episodes here and there when I was younger.
This series and beyblading irl was my childhood for at least 3-4 years. I have no idea how much money my parents spent on beyblades 😂 But I had soooo many of them. Trygle. Drasil. Dragoon. So, so, SO many more. None are left sadly, I'd give a finger and a toe to have those back 😢😢💔
I thought dragoom is water
I really miss the concept of Bit-Beasts
Same granted the concept is still used in later series' just aren't called Bit Beasts.
@Kaiden X They're more symbolic than actual living independent spirits in the series after.
Driger, Amphilyon, Dranzer and Dragoon showing that they could easily leave, turn on their bladers if abused or just disobeying an order they don't agree with is one of the many things I loved about them.
Also Sharkrash getting closer with Mariam after Max explained why he won't give up Draciel to the Saint Shields.
Also the Bit-Beasts really had beautiful God/Royal/Deity/armor-like designs. Ugh feel like a kid again. Their physical design was always so captivating and fascinating to me.
@@ashlirabid9614 I don't see the issue with them being symbolic. Idk I guess I just wasn't as deeply attached to Bit Beasts like that to feel bothered then they took a back seat in later series'. *shrugs*
@@Titanxzero1 To each their own. I just found it cool that actual beings were inhabiting the Blades.
Same the idea of a mythical creature inhabiting the beyblade was really cool. I thought it was odd that they completely axed it later on.
Beyblade and yugioh what a childhood
Hell yeah, the best!
don't forget mobile suit gundam wing, and shaman king was lit too
Oh man!
The original Beyblade is where it all started. Tyson was one of my most favorite protagonists. I really think people sell him short because they are too much in love with Kai, but Tyson also has some incredible development in the series.
Really? I always thought Tyson was the most popular. I agree, he’s one of my favourite protagonists too, and my favourite character in Beyblade. Plus Dragoon is awesome!
@@raytaku_ You are more likely to find vocal people praising Kai and dismissing Tyson and thinking that he's not that great and only wins because he's the protag.
Kai is my least favorite of the 4 but I don’t dislike him…much. The whole “he only wins because he’s the protagonist” is such a lame reason for dismissing Tyson.
If they want to play that game, Kai is only as strong as he is because he’s supposed to be Tyson’s main rival. Training using over the top and unnecessary methods and looking cool to his fans.
I like how in each arc one character gets their time for growth 1st ray then max followed by tyson and finally kai. The only odd one out is that kai isnt the one to get the decisive victory during his tournament arc against the blitzkrieg boys which i thought was an odd choice
@@toastywozzy I think the reason for that is because Kai has been so obsessed to win that he ended up abandoning his team and Dranzer to get Black Dranzer. And when he lost to Seaborg, he was once more tempted to get Black Dranzer but chose to rather accept defeat over winning by abandoning his friends again.
One of my favorite things about the first season was all the unique launchers and bey stadiums.
100 percent agree!
~Ray~
Agreed.
Also the art style and animation
I was living in Okinawa when Beyblade came out and trust me, EVERYONE under 15 were for sure letting it rip
That’s awesome!!!
It must've f***ing stunk!
There was such an emphasis on bit beast in season 1 and 2. It's basically a nonexistent concept in GRevolution, just the name of the beyblade and visuals of the bit beast for familiarity but only for the viewers, not for the characters
I’m glad you pointed this out! I got that feeling from GRevolution too. We visually got to see the bit beasts a lot but in terms of their involvement in the story vs previous seasons, it was much less for sure…
~Ray~
@@raytaku_ I think because they wanted to separate the Bit-Beast plot and instead focus now on the character battles for the battles. It's why you never get a moment where Dragoon talks to Tyson.
And in G-Revolution, Dizzie no longer exists. Because as it turns out, Dizzie is a dub only character. Seems the dub for G-Revolution decided that they'll stick closer to the JP version there, despite the censorship of other things.
G -Revolution was about the upgrading of the team itself as opposed to their bit beasts. Tyson changes most.
ray is one of my favorite fictional characters of all times his design and personality are great
Ray is a great character for sure 🙌🏼
@@raytaku_ also great video!!
@@DoubleDrastik thank you!! 🙏🏽
@@DoubleDrastik Mine is Max.
I loved how each member of the team felt like a main character, it was great!
such a fire show and the sound track for season 1 still goes crazy today!
💯 percent, the music is 🔥
Idk about all of the tracks but definitely some 😂
Which version
Yooo cover the rest of the show this is fantastic to watch
Thanks for the support and kind words Hassan (your contents awesome, funny as hell) 🍻
@@raytaku_ thanks man! I’ve been dying for someone to do a vet mad deep dive cause I don’t want to rewatch it but I miss it and you hit the spot! Reminded me of my friend Billiams videos!
@@HassanKhadair 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Out of all seasons, the most liked season is the first one ❤
👌🏽
ey G revolution was pretty good too.
@@ALI_872K not so bad, but season one is a masterpiece
@@ALI_872K 💯
@@ALI_872Kfor me G-Revolution is the best, then season one, then V-Force.
Mark Dailey as Brad Best makes the beyblade tournament event episodes feel more like an official sports broadcast. voice that's smooooooooooooooooth like butter!
Hell yeah!!! His voice actor nailed it 🎤
@@raytaku_ he's the Voice of CityTV. unfortunately no longer with us but Beyblade was one of his projects. they still use his "You're watching City TV." to this day
@@JoelGloade ah that’s a shame! His voice acting left a positive impact on so many kids that grew up on Beyblade 😇
@@raytaku_ he was the villain's bodyguard and caretaker in Medabots season 2 (Damashii) where Metabee can turn into a car
I forgot how much this show has major G Gundam syndrome with it's bizarre and hilarious stereotypes. The American team all play American sports and they go up against a guy called the mayor in a beyblade dish that's a tiny replica of the white house. Perfection.
Haha your right!
Same with the Asian arc. The dishes were the tower they were in and the Great Wall Of China. Think it happens with all of the tourneys tbh. Even in europe and Russia (with the ice/water dishes).
The original series of Beyblade will always be amazing
💯 percent!
Came for the Digimon, Stayed for the Beyblade. Such a hype trilogy, I miss Bit Beast'
🙏🏽… there’s so much more story they can tell with the original characters, I do hope they make a sequel someday…
@@raytaku_theres a manga now so odds are not long till the anime follows.
@@ChristopherJames1993 No way, that’s awesome! 👏🏼
Well, not if the sequel is with a modern beyblade system. If they'd go back to where they left off with the hms system then it's fine. And if not a series, then how about a longer movie?
I loved this anime, and even have the movie on dvd. I remember watching a documentary, i think it was on the movie dvd as an added content, and it said that they published 2 stories in each issue, and the readers used to vote which story would get adapted into an episode. They also changed the office building very often because of fans.
Wow I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing. It just shows how much they cared about us fans. I hope we get a continuation to the original series one day🤞🏽
In my opinion a bit beast is the manifestation of the spirit of the blader. Kai is truly like a phoenix, he is reborn several times. Tyson truly is a dragon in every way. Ray is agile, powerful and collected, a master strategist like a cat. Max is solid and dependable and the heart and soul of the team, like Draciel, he doesnt quit when the chips are down
Yesss! 👏🏽 their bit beasts are perfectly suited for their personalities 👌🏽
@@raytaku_absolutely. I'm like a combo of Ray and Kai.
Digimon fans 🤝🏿 beyblade fans
Great work, looking forward to the metal series review
🍻
I honestly am a fan of both franchises😁👌
What a great video! Gave me such a nostalgic feeling I might have to go get my Beyblades out the loft 😂 please do a retrospective of season 2!
Glad you enjoyed! Video on season 2 is in the works 🙏🏽
~Ray~
Oh my God😲! I remember this show. I first saw it in 2002 when my family took me and my siblings on a trip to the UK from Nigeria. I was 9 years old back then and the folks we were visiting had kids my age too. One morning, as we were watching TV with them, this show came on and the boy and I were so excited. I had never seen anime before that time and I had no idea what the show even was but it was a cool cartoon with action and that was all I needed. He even had the actual Beyblade spinner toy and I had so much fun with it😂 Eventually, we returned back to Nigeria after the trip was over and I never saw the show again cause anime wasn't readily available in my country back then and only a few aired on cable and internet was still expensive to own but it always lingered in my memory😌
Wow, thank you for sharing your story! UA-cam has all 3 seasons of the the OG Beyblade available to watch via the official Beyblade channel. Even though this video covers the entire first season, it’s still worth watching/rewatching if you find yourself with any spare time 🙂
@@raytaku_ Thanks so much, friend. I will definitely check them out. Great video btw.
@@orboakin8074 your welcome, and thank you for the kind words 🙂
I use to own soo many beyblades especially the hard metal system from G revolution. Galaxy Dragoon, Black Dranzer, and Meteor L Drago are my all time favorite beys
Damn you must have been OP as hell, you essentially had the entire G-revolution squads HMS beyblades 🤯
@@raytaku_ I only had 3 HMS, I could not find Draciel or Strata Dragoon.The bey that I have the most wins with is Black Dranzer. My nigga 22-8, i remember like it was yesterday. I use to be soo addicted you could not tell me I wasn't controlling my bey.and using my ultimate attack Galaxy Turbo Swister!!! 😂
Such a nice show...Nostalgic...
It sure is 🙂
Can't wait till you tackle V-force
🙏🏽… Glad you enjoyed the video
~Ray~
this was a great summary of the first season, would love to see the same for V Force and G Revolution!
Thank you! I absolutely plan on putting out videos for V-Force & G-Revolution 👍🏽
I'm super glad that UA-cam showed this in my recommended Videos 🙏🏻
Absolutely love the plastic Gen series!
As a professional athlete, I still See how relevant some of beyblade's projected morals and topics are. The Show aged beautifully! It has a special place in my heart since it's the show that shaped me during my childhood the most
Man that’s awesome to hear that the show had such a positive impact on you, just as it did so many of us who grew up watching it 🙏🏽
Yeah that's true. With the use of tech in sports. Way ahead of it's time.
I love how you phrased the “human spirit is better then science alone” because it really drives home the point the team was making to Judy: she’s smart and can do great things but she ignored the idea of making her players have the drive to individually get better beyond getting better equipment, which is a really sweet thing to show in an anime for kids who might not always feel right having not the best Beyblades or sports goods or whatever, they still have the ability to get better just like people with better equipment or beys or whatever it might be, an awesome show with awesome messages
💯percent, these original season of Beyblade had so many great nuggets to take away.
@@raytaku_ like Wolborg, that name is just so cool, I’m surprised you didn’t include it just so you got to say Wolborg
the music was top notch
Hell yeah it was! 🤘🎵
damn bro I just rewatched the first season of beyblade for the first time since my childhood and now im on v-force, amazing timing for this video!
Fantastic coverage of an amazing oldie that holds a place in my heart! Keep up the phenomenal work!!!💯💪🤓
Thank you 🙏🏽
~Ray~
this anime was my childhood next to Pokemon. I absolutely adored this growing up. Thank you so much. I had a massive smile watching this and remembering exactly where i was when these episodes aired. Just like you, I had Beyblades battles with my friends at school.
I can't wait to see you do videos on V-Force and G-Rev. especially G-Rev. I feel like rewatching this again now but i wanna watch in both dub (i grew up on) and the Sub. the JPN Openings were amazing when I looked them up a few years ago
That’s so awesome!!! I too grew up on Pokémon, Beyblade (S1-3) as well as Digimon and Yugioh (S1) + B-Damon 👀 …
I’m so glad to hear that you had beybattles in school too 🔥 I’m planning on getting videos out on the next two seasons soon, and yeah I definitely recommend rewatching them all from time to time, the original trilogy is timeless 🍻
this is how I discovered I love the name kai XD also ray is one of my favorite characters
Kai’s name is badass isn’t it… Ray is so underrated, having re-watched the show has made me appreciate him as a character way more 🍻
A BEYBLADE Retrospective!?
Thats amazing
😊🍻
Finally someone talking about how amazing the original beyblade series was man I love beybalde all the characters are awesome . And it was presented in such a good way it felt like you were watching the playoffs of an actual sports with a commentator and everything. The matches and art style were awesome. Too I think it’s seriously underrated like it was popular cause of the toys and still is to a degree but coming up when bigger anime were out such as Pokémon and yugioh really hurt it’s popularity.
Man, you so right! It did give off the feeling of watching play offs. The tournament battles where awesome! 🔥
Lol this was the Beyblade I grew up on
🙌🏼
Crossing field in the bg of the Tyson / Enrique match caught me by surprise
Their ‘rivalry’ was awesome, cos I had no idea how Tyson would overcome Enrique’s massive bit beast, but he and Dragoon still managed to pull it out the bag 🔥
First season is the best. Rivals teaming up. Asian and World Tournaments. Bit beast battles. Makes you hype to buy one and play with elementary friends. Good times.
💯
Not really using 2d animation for a beyblade anime is not a good idea
It was great
My brothers and I would challenge each other all the time and we still have each Beyblade arena that was designed for the individual Bladebreakers beyblades. The series had me hype as a kid so thank you for covering it here 😊
Thats so awesome to hear. What great memories you and your bro share (makes me wish I had a younger sibling too 😭) I'm more than happy to cover franchises which bought me so much joy as a child. Reading your guys comments on how positively the franchise impacted your childhood, makes these videos so rewarding to make. Thank you for supporting the channel 🍻
I remember being around 4/5 year old the first day Beyblade was aired on Cartoon Network, the first episode. I finished watching it and i remember the gang were down by the river at their neighbourgood, i thought what a great show, then i went out and played with my friends. Im 27 now. I miss those days a lot.
That’s awesome! I’m around the same age as you and it was the exact same for me. Some of my fondest childhood memories was battling it out with my friends and nodding out my beyblades for hours on end, excited to go into school the next day to show it off to my mates 🙂
Damn, the first anime I watched before knowing what was anime, was a Mappa. I was eating good, unknowing though it may be.
Woah, the first season of Beyblade was your first anime? Well then my friend your a lucky one, as what a great series to get started with as your introduction to the world of anime 🥳
@@raytaku_ Funny enough, I never though of Bayblade as an anime, until i saw it on MAL about a decade later. Before that I thought my first anime was Highschool DxD. LOL.
Glad to see some love for Beyblade round here! Good video as well!
Thank you 🙏🏽
This here sir is a god damn classic thanks for the vid makes me feel 8 yrs old again
🤜🏽🤛🏻
It's amazing for an anime about playing with competitive tops, to be actually interesting.
It was a great time to grow up when Anime’s like these aired. Your right, the fact they made the concept of spinning tops interesting is commendable! 💯
This was a pretty comprehensive recap of season one. As someone who never watched the anime but played with and built the beyblades themselves and had the card game thus was really nice ^_^
Thank you! It’s definitely still worth watching the show if you find yourself with any spare time. 👍🏽
all the main chara bit beast base on 4 sacred beast...suzaku,genbu,byakko and seiryu
Interesting 🧐, it just shows how much care was taken into producing this show. Thanks for sharing 🍻
😍
I kinda wanna see Gyro Zeppeli in that Show, would be one hell of a Fight with the Golden Ratio and Ball Breaker
I always thought it was pretty unique how they would travel to different countries to fight their battles, it’s pretty unique compared to normally where a series takes place in Japan solely. It’s pretty cool
Agreed 👍🏽
This show had such a unique vibe to it. I dont remmeber much since i was way too young when i watched it, glad these kinds of summary/retrospective videos exists
🤜🏽🤛🏻
W video. people seem to forget the GREATNESS of the original first beyblade series. I love the metal series but the original was just OOOOO WEEE
Thank you, and absolutely the first Season was awesome!
I just recently went back and rewatched the first 3 seasons of the original beyblade. Such a nice trip down memory lane :)
The original trilogy sure was awesome 👌🏽
I grew up with beyblade, dragon ball, digimon, pokemon and others anime. Beyblade is one of my favourites, the Original 3 seasons, of course. I lost interest in the new characters. I'm rewatching right now, i finished the first seasong and i'm in ep 10 of Beyblade V-Force right now.
Love the Anime Lofi being played in the background
🤜🏻🤛🏽
I stumbled upon your channel through your Digimon 02 video, and both that video and this video is great. Long analysis/retrospective videos have always been things I like to just relax and watch, and this video was just that. I just hope you can make videos like these for the other Digimon and Beyblade series.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I certainly plan to put out more content on both franchises 😊
~Ray~
Thank you for making this. Great recap and narration. Enjoyed every minute of it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the kind words 😊
that was a nice ride down the memory lane of my childhood and joy i used to had while watching the show on TV
I’m glad and grateful that the video was able to help take you back to a great time in your childhood 🙏🏽
Nah Ray was better than all others
ngl I didn’t care for Ray all that much when I first watched the show, but having rewatched it, he’s so overlooked! His battles are underrated 🔥
Max is the best .
Max is the heart of the team. Without a doubt.
💯
@@raytaku_especially for Kai and Tyson, when Max isnt around they struggle to focus.
Absolutely amazing work. This series was my childhood and it brings back so many memories. Collecting beyblades and battling my friends. Good old days.
Yes!!! What an awesome childhood we had thanks to this and many other awesome franchises and the sick toys that came from them. Thank you for the kind words and support 🙏🏽🍻
S1 was GOATED
Hell yeah! 🙌🏼
Ray was my favorite character
He’s one of mine too now, I definitely overlooked Ray when I watched it for the first time 20 odd years ago
As someone who only watched the first three seasons growing up, I was surprised to find out decades later the series is still ongoing and yet when people talk about it now online they mainly talked up seasons/storylines/characters I've never heard of. To me, THIS is the one and only Beyblade 😅
Same here, the original three seasons are the best! 🐐
I cant believe this show got me hype about tops.
But wait, there not just any spinning tops…. They are spinning tops….. with… BIT-BEASTS!!!! 🔥
Thanks for this retrospective, was curious where the franchise went as i loved this overly complicated spinning top drama as a kid
i remember when the craze was on & kids were bashing their tops together in recess
there was this one kid that owned a cheap bootleg beyblade that won all his maches as it was hevyer than all the official ones, truly a "pay less to win" game
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for the kind words. Man, there was always that one kid at school that would mix and match beyblade parts and fit 2 to 3 defence rings on his blade, making it way heavier then everyone else’s, and OP as hell.
chubby tyson best tyson, also O hope you can go with the rest of seasons, speciallu g revolition
I certainly plan to cover the next 2 seasons 👍🏽🙂
I found a petition for signing if anyone wants another season from classic.
😮
This video is not only a good retrospective (though I could offer that maybe a couple parts are a bit... slow paced), this whole video is just a punch right in my childhood. In a good way of course. Season 1 of Beyblade is still one of the best anime (dumbed down intentionally for kids) I have watched as a kid. Not counting stuff like Dragon Ball Z , Yu Yu Hakusho, Ronin Warriors, etc.
Thank you for the kind words and constructive feedback 🙏🏽. Just making this video bought back so many memories for me, so I’m glad it did the same for you too 🍻
BRO you are one of the few who even remembers Ronin Warriors I LOVED THAT SHIT as a kid no1 ever talks about it had me feeling like i was the only watching back then lol
@@yoshimixsu Oh man it's soo good~ Love the way they "transform" into their samurai gear, and their fighting styles have distinction too. Something that's hard to see in other Shonen anime. Talpa and the lone Wanderer's English voices- ugh so good. friggin fangirling over here as I type it up, I need to watch it again. Love the samurai guy in the brown armor. His name is slipping my mind unfortunately.
Ronin Warriors is that rare anime that tackles the whole "samurai" thing- and does it so well too!
@@raytaku_ You're welcome my guy. The retrospective did bring back memories for me. Especially the fact that I still have some 'blades from the G1 era, despite having no-one to spin them with. And I also re-watched the whole series again. Thanks for that. lol
It's nice to see people show love to the original trilogy. I love the original trilogy as you can tell by my profile pic. I was 10 when it started and enjoyed all 3 seasons. Can't wait for your retrospective on V-Force and G-Revolution
The OG is the GOAT 🐐 and yeah your profile picture is awesome 🧢… V-force and G-Revolution are in the works 🍻
Bang on same here bro. 10 year old me thought it was the best thing ever. 30 year old me still does.
"The wand chooses the wizard, Mr Potter." Same thing here.
👍🏽
Tbh I'm still surprised this franchise is still alive. Its pretty impressive. And while some will say the anime series isn't as good as the original, which I can understand, I'm still they are still making anime for em. I will say I have been enjoying the Burst series a good bit.
I’ll be honest I dropped the series after G-Revolution. Do you recommend watching Burst?
@@raytaku_ Yeah I think I do! For one it's much more toned down after the Metal series becoming more like season 1 of Beyblade, focusing on the sport and less on saving the world from a crisis. Also the newly added Burst mechanic add fun new spin to the rules.
@@Titanxzero1 interesting, I’ll definitely check it out 👍🏽
@@raytaku_ Hope you'll like it
Man i forgot how much this was a part of my life, loved Beyblade, Ray was always my favourite lol had the best design and he was just too cool to me lol and he pulled through when it mattered most. Can't believe the whole series is up on UA-cam, this was a great retrospective, would love to know more behind the scenes stuff, like i had no clue the logos for each team were all created for the english dub only thats so cool.
Thank you for the kind words! Yeah there’s a bunch of other changes in the Dub like Kenny’s laptop has a Bit-Beast in it called Dizzy and she’s an awesome addition to the show. Where as in the original version she doesn’t exist 🙂
@@raytaku_ OOOh shit, i didn't realise that either haha, this is an example of a dub done right! ( lol some parts can use work) but the voices for those characters are iconic! Well done bro! Hope you do more vids like this!
@@DmDaPDm thanks man, I appreciate the support 🍻
You've got some good taste in background music. I had completely forgotten how much I enjoyed this show as a kid so listening to this retrospective was interesting and brought back some great memories. You earned one sub, my friend.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support 🙏🏽🍻
really enjoyed watching this
That's awesome. Means a lot, thanks Muhammed!
~Ray~
can't wait for the vforce and grevolution videos :D
Working on it 🤓🍻
The nostalgia rush you gave me from this video you will always have my respect. Great channel Great Contant. To me this is the definitive Beyblade Series. Thank you for all the work you put in.
Thank you so much for the kind words , I’m glad you enjoyed the video🙏🏽
@@raytaku_ No my good sir thank you.🤙🏽🤘🏽💯
Dj Jazzman and commentators were the best
I’m so glad you bought this cos your right they where great, I loved the little quips the commenters would make 😂
My strongest Bey was my original Drigger. I did have a bootleg Drawnser with a Heavy Duty Metal Ring that would literally spark and destroy regular Beys but my first Bey was a Black Beyblade with a Red Bottom that it’s Bit Beast looked like Maildramon from Digimon.
A bit beast that looked like Maildramon 👀 Interesting. Did you ever manage to get a hold is a HMS Dragoon or Dranzer, they where really hard to get in the UK
@@raytaku_ I still have my HMS Dragoon, it's a lil banged up from me destroying ppl
@@treysavage4570 lucky!!!! It was so hard to get a hold of a HMS Dragoon
@@raytaku_ HMS Dragoon was the first I got when they came out lls i wasnt playing. Dragoon is my second favorite bit beast behind Black Dranzer idk why I fuck with it so much it's something about the bey design and the bit beast itself look tough. All Dragoon beyblades by 🔥 I love everytime Tyson upgrade Dragoon all his beys design be tough
@@treysavage4570 💯, facts! - Dragoons design and beyblade variations are all 🔥
I will always love that the protagonists team name was the BladeBreakers. You’d think that be the name of the villian team or something
The Bladebreakers is a dub specific name too. All the team names are slick tbf, the dub did a great job with them 👌🏽. And yeah I agree, the name does make them sound straight up like final bosses 😂
@@raytaku_Demolition/Blitzkrieg Boyz hits hard af too lol.
Great job on that. I would like to see some metabots!
Thank you 🙏🏽 Are you referring to Medabots?
@@raytaku_ yeah. Medabots self-corrected.
Understood 🙂, I’m going to be working on covering a bunch of the old 90’s and early 2000’s anime which includes Medabots 👍🏽
You just earned a sub for a fantastic retrospective of the OG Beyblade series.
Thank you 🙏🏽
I love the episode when it takes Dranzer to defeat black Dranzer. The ice setting looked so dope to fight on
💯
With regard to Ray and Max getting less in the later half. I think that makes sense all of them got an arc where they were the focus and the last one was Kai's. Funny I didn't notice as a kid.
Yeah, everyone got an arc which is most important, your right. Plus I think you hit the nail in the head as when we watched it as kids, how much ‘of an arc’ each character got was not something most of us, I included, would have payed attention too 🙂
@@raytaku_ For sure. Great recap by the way. You just gave me a whole rewatch of a series in an hour. And hit all the most major points to make it work.
@@darksideofevil13 🙏🏽
Amazing video, thank you!
Great background music as well. I found myself from time to time recognizing which anime they were from.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏽🙂
Very well done video sir, you've earned a sub ❤
Thank you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was such a good listen. Can’t wait for season 2 and 3 of the OG beyblade!
🙏🏽…. V-force and G-revolution coming soon 🍻
Came back to once again say, well done. I sat down and watched it this time and it was even better
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for this. Always wanted in thorough summary of the show. Can't wait for the second and third season 🤩
🙏🏽 appreciate the support, glad you enjoyed the recap. I’m currently working on s2 and s3. Thank you 🍻
God i had so many bayblades as a kid, i loved the show too, this takes me back thanks 😊
🤜🏽🤛🏻
I got grounded one time for using my moms branded new tub as a bay blade arena and chipped the tub to hell.
Hahaha, those metal defence rings where made out of straight up metal. Your not alone in using the Tub as a beydish 🫣, but chipping your tub makes me wonder how lethal your beyblade must have been 😂
When I got my very first phone when I was 11 I would stay up all night watching this original series on UA-cam. Lol the UA-cam app on my phone was so ass, I had to go on the actual web browser and watch it. The quality was horrible and it buffered so much, but I literally stayed up all night every night to watch every episode. So it’s kinda crazy to just now find out they animated my favorite anime of all time too, crazy how things circle
I remember the mid 2000’s where I would watch anime on UA-cam via my Wii 😭 in 360p
This is the first time I hear people calling Takao as Tyson
As a dub watcher he’ll always be Tyson for me. When I hear the name Takao, I instantly associate it with T.K from Digimon Adventure 😭
Well I am from Turkey. I have seen it with Turkish dub like 20 years ago. They left his name as Kinomiya Takao.
really liked this video, im a fan of beyblades so it was really enjoyable to watch, brought back memories too. hope to see videos of the next 2 seasons
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video…I am planning to cover V-force and G-revolution too 🍻
We need the other seasons too♡
🫡 I’m on it, and thanks for supporting the channel (V-force and G-revolution coming soon 🍻)
One more comment, did anyone else watch Beyblade 2000 in Canada? I've never seen the Europe Tour! Our broadcast station "YTV" didn't buy these episodes! They completely skipped all of those episodes, in Canada it skips from the US Tournament directly to the Russia World Championship! And it's such an interesting arc as well! I can't believe they skipped all of these episodes, it really adds a lot of interesting characterizations and landscapes. I can't believe our station was too cheap to buy these episodes, wow. I never expected to learn something new about the show. Did anyone else experience this?
I live in Europe in the Netherlands.
And our broadcasting company never finishes anime in terms of season or episodes, because they find out and didn't realise anime can be quite violent.
We had the G-revolution toys but not the season. So a lot us were puzzled where all these new Bit-Beasts, Beyblades and characters came from.
Shaman King lasted a few episodes in our country. Same with Card capteror Sakura, Gundam and Sailor moon.
What!?!? That’s so odd, why would they exclude it 🤔. It’s one of the more enjoyable arcs too. Roberts squad and their Bit Beasts really did seem at the time an impossible challenge for the Bladebreakers to overcome, and when they did pull it off it sure was awesome for us viewers watching.
@@ashlirabid9614 oh my goodness, that’s such a shame cos G-revolution was peak Beyblade, the culmination of the entire trilogy.
@@raytaku_ True, but the original 3 seasons were peak Beyblade of the entire series.
@@ashlirabid9614 💯
Dude! Awesome video. Hope this comment gives some motivation. You're really good at this and was a good watch. will start to binge your other videos. Keep at it!
Thank you so much for the kind words and support, it means a lot! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The design of Tyson here will always be the best design.
He’s the goat 🐐
I lik G revolution
@@glizzyDaLOE071 For me G revolution was the next best design, They tried to blend the 2 other designs and give a more mature look which was cool but his original outfit here was just more iconic looking.
I like G Rev Max design the most, and i like all of Kais designs. Ray peaked with his original look to me.
Very much enjoy this vid and all your work
Thank you for the kind words, Rasiel. And thank you for supporting the channel 🙏🏽
I remember watching the first episode at my Grandparent’s house when I was 6. I had power ranger PJs on and was eating cereal. What a simpler time.
Thats what I love about older anime like Beyblade, as they gave us so much joy that we get to hold onto positive memories from our past even as we continue to get older 💚
Great Video! I feel like your channel has a lot of potential, I subscribed. keep it up! And was that "Aoi no Sora" as the music theme in the background!!!
Thank you so much, appreciate the support and kind words🙏🏽… the background music has been sourced from this video ua-cam.com/video/8sJk9AE82kc/v-deo.html (there’s a lot of songs in there there all great 👍🏽, but to you point I do think it’s a sample of that song for sure)
Madhouse animating this is a very surprising piece of information but it makes so much sense. This show looked a few levels above anything non-movie that aired at that time. And goddamn have they improved since. Beyblades shaped a good part of growing up for people around my age (1994). Ever since it came out everyone had to have one, i bet i would still find mine if i was to go through my parents basement. But the real gigachads had the arenas and they were basically like casino owners. I think only pokemon go made more people go out and gather to play.
Dude, you so need to get those old Beyblades out for memories sake! 🍻
Salute to the incredible efforts and hardwork you have put in this video.
Thank you!!! Your kind words and support means a lot to me 🙏🏽
This was the best show at the time on tv. Until the reboot
💯
I've watched all of the Beyblades up to the one with Gingka, but nothing else hits like Beyblade 2000. I really liked the 2D beyblade animations over the 3D beyblade animations. And the cast of characters is extremely likeable and I really enjoyed how they explore different parts of the world and go into each character's background in such detail. It genuinely felt like a grand story. I know a lot of the show was cheesy like saving the dog, but much later iterations of the show were over the top like showing someone parting the sea using a beyblade. Some scenes were so sad like Ray (which I now realized that's how they localized Rei) vs Bryan, so sad because they actually showed someone clearly breaking sports rules but not getting punished due to the referees making bad calls, which happens a lot in real life. I was always so surprised to hear this was just the first season, to me it felt like each arc was a season but in my country they took a while to buy all the episodes. And the bitbeasts were very creative and a really good business decision, it drew a lot of kids to what was just a simple spinning top toy.
I 💯 percent agree! I find myself now appreciating the story of the original much more. The art style/animation was great too, much more reminiscent of classic Japanese animation and art style for that time period 👌🏽
