Why I Became A Sweaty Adult Beyblade X Player

- Beyblade X is the brand-new generation of Beyblade, and with this new generation, a large influx of curious people have found that it's a hobby with a lot of fun to offer for people of all ages. So as a weird adult Beyblade fan, I felt it was my duty to plead my case to the internet.

So I’m a submariner and on a recent underway, one of my buddies and I decided to pick up a few boxes of beyblades and a couple arenas to make a tournament for some moral boosting.
When I tell you I was lambasted by the upper chain of command for doing something so “childish” I almost cancelled it. But I held on and still brought it with me. To say it was a MASSIVE hit was an understatement. The very same people who were shitting on the idea ended up participating and we all had so much fun with it.
Sometimes folks just have to try it for themselves to truly understand. Well done for sticking to your guns and I'm glad it all worked out!
That’s a dope story, if people could just put down there pride for a moment and try new things that seem childish or only for kids people would have a lot more fun in life
Don't knock it until you give it a try holds true to this day
You just gave me an idea for my next deployment, I’m a surface sailor on a DDG so should be fun
I am bringing my arena for radio to have an underground beyblade tourney. Hopefully it's as successful as yours lol.

“This is an adult only Beyblade video, fuck them kids”
Absolute gold 😂
My thoughts exactly lol😂😂😂😂
Powerfully Pointless: F*** them kids!
Hasbro: Respect. 😎(in regards to the green bucket stadium)
beyblade x is pretty much the perfect gen for adults who completely missed the second generation
Yeah, honestly. Because takara tomy is marketing them TO Adults. They're ads have adults using them... like i don't know why people think there is so such thing as "childrens's toys" there are only toys. This is a hobby though. Like it's literally a hobbie game. Like magic the gathering or D&D... it should be treated as such rather than trying "validate" liking them as adults...
Bro came 8 years too late😭
As someone who's now 20 and used to play with Beyblades during the Metal Fury/Fusion series, I found out this new X series, and it looks really cool! Reminds me of that old era I started with. I might actually start getting invested into this new era lol.
I really dig the packaging for Beyblade X, definitely had me interested since it looks a lot less like a toy now
I think their for adults, I could buy plastic gen from two weeks allowance, I am NOW being honest saving THREE months of my salary to buy Hell scythe
I remember being a kid with the first gen beyblades. I made a terrifying discovery, the orange top with the spring on the bottom had a weird middle segment, and I managed to put 3 weight disks on it. After locking the spring in the "retracted" position I had a top with over twice the weight of the competition, and dominated middle school recess.
Brutal
Absolute mad scientist right here.
Oh damn I thought I was the only one I modified mines exactly this way bc we where (for lack of better words) betting for psp games and playing cards (Pokémon at the time)
Considering the initial trailer for beyblade x has primarily adults in it, i feel we are fine as beyblade x players
We are the demographic they are trying to get back since they want to make beyblade into a proper sport, and I'm HERE for it!
Bro, you're never too old to enjoy any hobby. The only ones that push their kids to stop being kids are the ones that have forgotten to enjoy life - keep blading! 🎉
Amen!
Tell that to my friend who loves Precure.
I read balding lmao
I’ll do both just to be sure😂
Thiss video is for liberals
You can definitely be too old to (begin) certain hobbies
If you’re 80 years old who’s entire life never workout or been trained…I’m just gonna come out and say that you should NOT try and take up boxing lol
AS HEARING THIS, I AM NOW ON MY WAY TO GET A SOAR PHEONIX! THANKS FOR INSPRATION DUDE! HOPE i can become at it because ive never played beyblade before!
Best of luck on your journey! The US community has had the best luck finding Phoenix specifically at Target, so that's my recommendation. Since the product rollout just started recently, some stores are a bit behind on putting product on shelves so don't give up if the first store you try doesn't have it!
@@DanganRangersame with Dranzer?
Honestly, you're completely valid in your feelings here. I suffered from the same yard sale mentality in my family and ended up losing all of my Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards, Bionicles, and Beyblades.
It's rough, man.
Rip 🙏
At least yours may have gone to a good home, my mom straight up donated my stuff to salvation army
@@Bluezexmas mine threw them away without my concent it was also painful when I found out my nephew chose to cut his pokemon collection with scissors kid ain't gettin nothing valuable from me like that again at least not for a long while once he realizes just how much money that was thrown down the drain always sell off if you don't want it anymore there's no reason to trash what can turn a prophet
I think, if Takara Tomy and Hasbro play their cards right for the future of X, this could be the best Beyblade generations of all time! Already it has the best of each Generation along with how more "adult" it is with how its becoming a "sport" in Japan.
It's gonna be a good one, let's hope it lasts!
Beyblade X is what i would deacribe as "addictive gameplay" and it just gets wilder as time goes on. TT is currently testing a special rule set where if you use highly uncompetitve parts, you get an extra point per win depending on how many uncompetitive parts you use
@@Slushiebop finally, a meme bey bonus.
@@Unclaimed_Username no joke using a meme bey you can get 3 or 4 points in one battle
@@Slushiebop Okay unless said battles are going up to 7 points, that is way too much of an advantage.
@@Kaidhicksii I ain't the one who made them lol
I want them to test the idea of using the dual top launchers but actually for one player. And make it a special mini top where you're allowed to use two identical tiny tops. Call it like twin sets or something. I think that would make it crazy
I remember walking home from my buddy’s house with my arena and a big plastic ziploc bag of beyblades and some other kids were hiding in a bush laughing at me. I went home sad and my Aunt said “you’ve got Beyblades, all they’ve got is a fucking bush” and then she played with me, it was awesome
Feels like i'm finally with my people, cannot overstate how much I love this video as an older bakugan and beyblade player who loved the original games and shows associated. The Bakugan Gen 3 to Beyblade X pipeline seems to real at this point, and it makes me think that Spinmaster inadvertently created a lot of Beyblade X fans by pushing out toys that probably needed more time to cook. Great discussion on the new products!
In 3.5, there was a psionic class that fought using a large psycrystal. Bet you can guess how RP'd that.
I had gotten into Burst just as it ended. The burst mechanic, and the clicks that leads to them, intrigued me because "they added a hp system to beyblade" sold me. I bought some, quickly learned that COUNTERFEIT beyblades weren't just a thing but a common occurrence, and ended up researching where to buy legit ones (also the difference between the western and eastern versions). Afterwards X started rolling out and...I didn't want to spend even more money on imports. Thirty dollars a beyblade wasn't a lot, but it kinda was (ignoring that the one I really wanted, Roar Bahamut, was RIDICULOUSLY expensive).
When I learned that X was coming to the states And that they were supposedly not going to gimp the designs like they did with burst, I was excited. I now own seven of the little dudes and am looking back at the jp market to get ones that aren't out here yet. I'm hooked!
Also I see you're a fellow shark bro! I'm aiming for Keel Shark 2-60 Accel. Gonna minnax those two blades
@@Unclaimed_Username I might have to test that build, color me intrigued. 🤔
Shark gang for life 🦈
idk how it is for the US, but for us in France (we got the physical releases a month ago as exclusives to 1 store and will officially get wave 1 on the 15th), import is not much more expensive than in store if you take several at once on amazon jp.
For reference, the regular prices are cheaper (starters are 13e and boosters are 10e, vs ~10e for starters and 7.3e for boosters on amazon jp) and alone there's like 17e of shipping, but the shipping doesn't go up much as long as you take small things (it's like 21e for 3 beys, or 7e/bey, which still makes it 30 to 40% more expensive, but far from ending up at 30e/bey)
as someone who has tested the plastic bucket; If you're gonna use it for beyblades. don't use it for X. use it for MFB. It's somehow better for it.
Good to know! I guess everything can find a use if you look at it from different angles.
@@DanganRanger it's mostly the amount of pockets plus the rail having some usage as an anti-tornado-stall thing. it's genuinely somewhat decent.
..although if you want a stadium for that price, the ali-10 is usually better .3.
The good ol' BB10
I regret clicking on this video.
Was into Beyblade as a kid, grew out of it, got really into it again with Metal Fusion and managed to stop when Burst came out.
And then this video comes out, and has me adding new beyblades to my cart at the toy store. Thank you for this.
One of us! One of us!
16:15 just FYI, actually the string launcher has a bit less power/resistance than the big ripcord bcuz it has a lower gear ratio. This lower resistance can help to keep your launcher holding hand more stable for better control. And if you need more power from a string launcher you should focus more on whipping out the string with higher speed rather than just pulling with more power like you can on the ripcord launcher.
Thanks for the advice!
@@blueblonko he literally said that already
One thing to note is, that while there is a power difference, the difference can be overmatched by practicing how to launch harder with string. Generally with string launchers, you essentially have to work on maximizing as much energy as you can into the draw length of the string. One thing I’d recommend doing is, no beyblade practice launching reps, and also doing reps with a beyblade too. Because there is a lot of muscle memory involved into maximizing the potential of the string launcher.
Also one thing to note, there is a good chance that there is less of a gap in power between the Hasbro string launcher and the TT/pro ripcord/winder launcher. As a lot of the Hasbro string launchers seem to have a longer string.
@@DanganRangerI’d also put some emphasis into practicing positioning, angles, and movement.
When I was a kid the extent of my strategy was “get a Superheavy Chinese weight disk from the dollar store and be heavier than everyone else”
Ha! Is this the disk that sparks.
@@Quixotic-IX yep, although I wore mine out pretty quickly launching it on its side in the basement
As a South Texan, I can confirm, it was hard to take part in certain hobbies. Its amazing how far we've come in the last 15 years.
Yeah, you guys lost women's bodily autonomy 😭😭
When i was a kid metal fight was all the rage. I used to watch other kids play and always asked my classmates to let me try their beys. My family was poor so i never got to buy any of my own beys. Years lster, i fiund a stadium and a bag full of beys for 10 bucks at a thrift store, but by then the craze had died. I was just looking into Beyblade X to join a local group hut i felt kind of iverwhelmed ahout what i was getting into. Thanking for making such a great video that really broke down the components of X!
Welcome to the fold! I recommend checking out the channel Beyblade Journey, as they've made great videos going in-depth on the ways the systems work.
@@DanganRanger will do! Thank you for the info!!!
They call the flower pattern you described the "Sliding shoot" or "Rush launch" they coined it in burst.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything for X yet
Good to know the proper terminology, thanks!
I grew up with the OG plastic beyblades and it feels great to get back into it
you can even see how they're aiming this new generation at all ages, including adults with the marketing
it's nowhere near as deep and complex as those original ones got but I hope these new ones get more complex too
Beyblade is a fun competitive physics experiment for ppl of all ages for sure.
im glad this video is popping off, beyblade x deserves all the attention its getting.
Yeah it's honestly already gone way further than I was expecting. Beyblade really came through for me on this one.
I was about 13 years old when I first started Beyblade during the Metal Fusion days and it was the coolest shit I'd ever had. Now, playing X at 27, I'm just as excited, if not more, to witness the beginning of a new generation of Beyblade.
Dawg they should've payed you for this advertising i've gone from thinking that beyblade x was neat to wanting to beat mfers up in a heartbeat thank you stranger
Haha damn, Beyblade is still going nowadays? Wild.
>18 minutes later
ok you know what. fair. that looks dope as hell.
Over the past 2 years I've been recollecting beyblade metal fight. I really did not care for burst but Beyblade X has continued to grab my attention. Thanks for sharing this excellent video with us! You have gained a subscriber good sir! I'll definitely have to check out beyblade X.
I have a little information regarding the X over project for you. If you didn’t already know, there was a vote. Done over a year ago to figure out which beys to bring over in to x sadly bumpkin wasn’t one of them
Yeah I did know, but I'm holding out hope that they'll do more votes down the line. I'm also deluded.
I remember watching original Beyblade back when I was a kid and you have no idea how on fire we all were. Quick note I'm from Poland so we had Beyblade dubbed in Polish and it was the hypest shit. I went to Warsaw with my mom to meet a more distant part of my family and my aunt got me a Hasbro Driger V2. After that I was nigh unbeatable but for one person, my long childhood friend with the same name as me, he had pretty much all hasbro Beyblades from the first generation. I absolutely remember playing for parts, betting on matches with Pokemon cards and other wild shit. Thanks for this video mate, imma check Beyblade X now for sure.
Back in the days of Beyblade Gen 1 my Dranzer want into the pocket then actually popped up in the air and landed right on top of my opponent's Galeon which then exploded, I thought that was the most amazing thing ever since that was one Dranzer's abilities from the anime. 😎
do what you want, as long as you're having fun, and not hurting anyone or yourself, fuck it. be you
*_AYO BASED FELLOW BUMP KING FAN_*
You've earned yourself a sub PURELY for that alone
I got back into beyblade during burst, when i saw the japanese ones remade Dragoon v2 (my favorite as a kid), and after having it, i fell down the rabbit hole and have continued that until now.
Now I own an old Golden Ultimate Valkyrie (as of writing worth around $200), and Cobalt Drake (around the same price) as well as a fairly large assortment more. It's honestly a blast, and as a shelf item they take up relatively little space as a whole, so I don't need a million binders like I used to for Yugioh/Pokemon TCGs.
Great video, I hope more people make the leap to Beyblade and see just how fun and strategic it actually is.
I still have my og gen 1 beyblades, I dont have anyone to play them with but they made me happy fuck what other ppl think lol
I was crazy for beyblade in 04-05. There was a lot of noise online about the 25th anniversary of the original series too. It was emotional seeing the original vocalist of the Beyblade US theme perform again in an anniversary concert. I'm glad other people feel the same way!
The "wishing you'd just filled the bag with plushies instead" bit hits particularly close to home for me, because the de-cluttering victims I mourn the most were my McDonald's Neopets plushies 😂
Anyway, great video! I am a chronic competitive videogamer, but I got a taste for analogue games after trying a wargame and realizing I don't have space for painting/storing minis. Beyblade is completely different, of course, but I figure I can stash three tops and an arena somewhere.
Great video. The Dranzer homage is cool, but it’s still not enough for me to get back into it. They would have to release a legit full scale all metal gen 1 style Beyblade that works in order for me to get back into it as an adult. I still have all my OGs stored in a case though.
Then you might wanna check out Bench Blade. They do all metal remakes and some reproductions of plastic gen beys.
I'm 28 years old and I just got back into beyblade, I tried out beyblade burst and I wasn't much for the designs so i stopped collecting , bayblade x on the other hand is so awesome I spent hundreds of dollars on them already haha , I battle them with my gf its like being a kid again i love it , I like how small they are now they feel more dangerous and I like the Weight and designs too makes me feel like I'm 10 again. It's nice to see other people my age enjoying it too. Never stop doing what you enjoy man keep up the great work ❤
I grew up with the metal saga generation, and boy did i miss metal in beyblades! I tried collecting the 3rd gen but it didnt feel the same with metal fight. That is until the 4th gen arrived and man it felt like that scene in ratatouille where the critic had the flashbacks
Theyre so fun and even as a 20 yo we still had fun w/ my friends
nah brother, ain't doing my home work.
Fine but don't tell your parents you were watching naughty videos
As someone who is gen z and watched a lot of beyblade burst when it came out I think it might be fun to try it out again
One minute I was watching how to cook smash burgers and now I'm here. How UA-cam, how?
Fate has guided you here. Embrace your destiny and let it rip.
@@DanganRanger it's definitely not for me but I love seeing people enjoy a hobby. Good for you for finding something you love! Always be proud of that... Even if it makes you a sweaty beyblade player 😂
Fair play, man. Much love, and may the algorithm continue leading you in interesting new directions.
I’m really sorry the people in your life haven’t said yes and gone through with fun ideas with you, I really hope that changes ❤
@@lfwalrus things have definitely gotten a lot more fun since college lmao
I vaguely remember this from my childhood. In general I really enjoy people talking about their hobby. You sound incredibly enthusiastic. Good luck in life 😀
Much love
Bump King Supremacy! That was my favorite too!
Hot take, but personally I like the protoluacher, as I bought the starter pack my self, and your right, the hasbro stadium is considerably smaller, but it’s more fun as well 😂
In Brazil kids were taking the kitchen sink metal "filter" that looks a lot like a beyblade base (that piece that stops food pieces) , attaching the soap bottle tips (that look like a beyblade tip) and for some reason fits exactly on the kitchen sink filter. That were our beyblades back in the day. We would dig a small circular hole in the dirt and just let it rip.
That's actually brilliant ngl
I started being interested in Beyblades from the beginning of the Burst generation when I was 6... Here I am still very young and enjoying the new X generation. I wonder what it will be like when I'm an adult.
As long as you don't let that part of yourself who knows what they love die, you're in for a great life.
TT should make this a real adult sports by providing high RMP launcher, full metal beys and a bigger and safer stadium...
I also came up with the Phoenix 5-60P combo. I started telling everyone. It’s now regarded as one of the best if not the best Phoenix combo out, and shark edge with 9-60 and low flat. It’s awesome.
Im in my late 20s, so I heard about Burst a couple years ago, not knowing Beyblade kept going after G revolution.
I nabbed some burst beys and quickly found out I was buying “old” beyblades (i.e. 1st gen burst beys) And I was like “Whoa, they really kept going”.
And this Beyblade X took me by surprise, didn’t know its been around for a year now, and I just got a few with the new stadium. Glad to know its still in its “early stages” and its gonna keep going. I might even enter tournament if one comes to my area, granted anyone I know personally will not know lmao
Actually bump king is very good for smash attack, but it's a very fragile attack ring.
I've used one for a competitive attack combo (ten wide, heavy metal core, Seaborg's blade base with the tip unversed) and I was even careful when using it, but it still broke.
So it's a good part, but it's uncommon to find and breaks too often to use normally.
If Bump King were to be adapted to Beyblade X, then it would just be a retooled Hell's Hammer.
Judging the height, I'd say the best combo for a Bump King X would be 5-60 Flat.
Thanks for this video. I just went to my parents place to pick up my old Beyblades (metal fusion era). Im now forcing my girlfriend to play it with me
Bro the "this is the coolest thing ever" to "that's gay" pipeline moved at mach speed, shit was so tiring.
For real
0:14 YHVH them kids..?
You know, I've been using that as my censorship sound for a few months now, and I think you're actually the first person to ever point out its origin lmao. It's a fun Easter egg for my fellow MegaTen fans.
I like when Beyblades escape the pockets it makes the battles more unpredictable and fun
For real! At my locals on Saturday I saw a beyblade escape the side pocket only to KO the other beyblade into the center pocket. BBX is gasssssa
As someone who plays competitive yugioh this is my favorite kind of thing. Games are for everyone and if you enjoy something niche or "for kids" you should feel no shame.
I miss my wife
Oh man this has me super excited! I love to see them bringing back proper beyblades.
I really need to get a beyblade now
Great video! Its so cool to see how much people are enjoying Beyblade X, definitely the best gen so far
No joke, got back into beyblade because of this video, thank you
Fuck this is accurate. Mum gave all me metal fight’s to a kid across the road…. Fuck.
There really is no greater injustice, I tell ya.
I’ve been obsessed with spinning tips for the longest time. Don’t know why. Anyway, I’m glad that Beyblade X is more of a “universal” demographic than what previous generations were. I was too young to experience the plastic generation, but I was HEAVILY invested in Metal Fight. Burst was fun for the first couple of seasons from Hasbro, but when they drastically changed the formula for the 3rd season, I just stopped caring as much, and stopped buying Burst beys altogether after the 4th season. I’m thinking about investing in X, but I don’t have anyone to play with. Keep being the big fan of Beyblades you are, and I promise I will be as well! 😊
Oh man this video came up randomly on my home page and im so glad it did so much nostalgia.
I remember my front yard was the designated "Beyblade Club" and in order to gain entry you had to present your "membership card" (we just used the plasic loyalty cards for the local store, back when they use to store them in leaflets at the entrance...fuck we must of cleaned them out.)
My bey of choice was Seaborg.
I am a weird beyblade adult who hosts tournaments and I support this message 😂
When the notification popped up on my phone just saying "I am a weird Beyblade adult" I was sure I was about to get roasted for the millionth time ngl
@@DanganRanger not from this angle, come play with us in Houston anytime!
Awesome video definitely convinced me and can't wait for the original styles to make a return!
Got together with a couple friends a while back. The host happens to be the "collector" of the group and had a new fixation, Beyblade. I played with them as a kid, and recall really liking Draciel (unfortunately).
Anyway, they whipped out both X arena's, and a sizeable collection of beys, including a few UX's. We then proceeded to get drunk and play with battling tops for the next 5 hours.
I picked up a Wizard Arrow that same night, and have since amassed a small collection. If someone told me that I would be way into battling tops as a grown adult...well, I'd actually believe you. Shit's fun.
I grew up with the OG Beyblades, maining with a classic Dronzer, which could somehow never beat my beat friends' Spark Knight despite the massive size difference, and the kid who brought the battle arena to school was officially the coolest kid in the playground.
Now Im in my 30s and have a child of my own, and I am happy to say that we both saw these Beyblade X sets in a store in our town, and now we have a new hobby to share!
Beyblade X is so good that I started content creating for it haha
I watched one of ur vids!
Nice! I've been thinking about doing the same thing. It's never too late, I suppose.
@@orion_starchaseryou should! It’s fun haha

I felt that
Actual launch an build strategy, organized tournaments, holy shit the anime is real...
This video encapsulates every reason why I've been a fan of beyblade recently. X has had a largely older audience and I'm all for it. I've loved all of the attention beyblades been getting lately. You have a new sub!
I grew up with the ones that would have ZERO regard for child-safety and I LOVED IT
the tip on one of mine had broken off and my dad cut off the tip of a nail and stuck it there as a replacement
thing went into the THOUSANDS RPM-wise! absolutely shattered my mate’s beyblade so we got him a replacement for his bday 😁
good times
Dude the same thing happened to me 1:30 I invited my friend over to show him beyblades in 6th grade and he said they were fun but gay xD
Damn I miss the original roller draciel, only Seaborg 2 could beat it on my schools battlefield
i did not watch this closely enough before so i gotta ask 8:31 why would you do this to us all now they gotta make a whole new rail design
Me and my older siblings were metal fusion kids. I was sitting in my room the other week and my older brother comes charging in showing me his new Beyblade, talking about it's comeback. I got my metal fusion down from the loft and we played with them a bit. When I got my a level results my brother gave me a dran sword starter pack and I have since bought a steel samurai. It's been great fun and I cant wait to get more.

My two younger cousins brought over their starter set today, and I was blown away. I only played with the original plastic generation Beyblades from the OG to the Engine Gear and MS era. But I have to say, this generation of Beyblades is by far the best. The battles are far more intense and unpredictable, the Beyblades have an OG style back with some proper combinations from Metal Fight and Burst, and the concept of X gets rid of one of the biggest problems I've found with previous eras (that is, the heaviest Beyblades that can stay in the center almost always won). Now with the X-elarator rail and the new point system format, that big problem is long gone! Honestly, I'm tempted to get back into it, but I'd likely be the only one in my area that would do that... So... I'll still think about it, I guess...
I bought the Hasbro starter set for X a couple days ago, and is is always a blast! Nothing else Beyblade X is stocked at my local stores (yet), so I can't upgrade anything, but right now Proto-launcher with Tusk M., 4-60T is working pretty good for now. Amazing video, I liked it a lot
Being an old man, I find this topic dumb. But, also being a parent to a kid around this period, and I was once a young teen myself. I find this topic very nostalgic and informative. Great video, subbed.
We have a ton of Beys and even Bakugan decks. I was more of a Magic the Gathering kid personally. His generation is different from ours.
Its all about having fun in the end. Great retrospective buddy!
Who knew that putting more strategy depths into a game and iterating on it while sticking to what is great is good for brand growth, recognizability and longevity.
I have this feeling that this generation is made by people who loved the game while they were kids and grew up wanting to share the experience to the newer generation. It also feels like they want to bring back all those who grew up with the game but was unable carry their hobby forward with them for whatever reason and let them know that they are seen and appreciated.
Ah, Beyblade. The thing that ultimately drew me to the internet, looking for ways to rewatch the show after initial airing and some way, any way, to find people to talk to about it. I didn't have anyone IRL who played, and was a generally lonely kid cause none of my hobbies really seemed to interest others in my classes and school, so I looked online and found the old WBO forum and made quite the mess for myself as an adult when inevitably old memories popped up and were revisited. Honestly I do get nostalgic for it frequently. Damn you youtube
Thank you for inspiring me to buy a giant box of beyblade at the last garage sale near me. I randomly toss in a top every time I walk by the arena. I'm super excited for when I finally find people to play with, haha. Rewatching this also taught me that my tops aren't breaking haha.
I haven't even interacted with Beyblade since metal fusion, but hearing Storm Pegasus was getting a rework is all I need to jump back in. god, the nostalgia has gotten me hook line and sinker lol
None of us are truly immune to nostalgia. Having missed out on Gen 2 I never realized how popular it was until most of the Gen Z folks at our meetup would reminisce about how much they loved Pegasus and L-Drago.
I always wanted to have real beyblades as a kid/teen, but only got the bootleg ones which were really crappy and broke if they crashed into another beyblade, because the original one were a bit too expensive for us. Still had great memories of watching others playing with their originals in the schoolyard. I love that beyblade still exists with a decently sized community. Keep enjoying your hobby!
i’m so happy that Beyblade X is very successful. I grew up with the 2nd generation and while i tried to keep my collection. I relate to what happened to yours. i stopped with burst but picked burst up near the very beginning of speed storm. then i fell back inlove with it. and decided to go full force. i own all the main beys of DB and BX. and rn excluding the rare get bey. I own every X bey so far. Every recolor. i’m happy.
Bring back the Era of Schoolyard Bayblade money matches 😭
I completely agree. This gen is the perfect recipe for us that played with the first gen of beyblade to pick beyblade back up
11:34 you can count on that happening, especially in America. Just gotta give it enough time for everyone and organizers to get their hands on some hasbro products and the Hasbro X format tournaments will start rolling out
Oh you don't even know... 👀 Stay tuned.

I can't say I'm interested in Beyblade myself, but Kiryu is such a pitch perfect choice for a thumbnail feature lol
I was actually racking my brain the day before I uploaded the video trying to come up with an idea for the thumbnail when I remembered out of nowhere the Pocket Circuit questline and I knew it had to be done. Kiryu is the merciless king of beating children at their own games and we love him for that.
I started at around 7 or 8 when I first played Beyblade with my buddies at school (1st gen), now I'm a 31-year-old playing Beyblade X with my son.
Totally missed out on the 2nd and 3rd gen but the Dranzer & Driger reprints were enough to pull me back to playing again, now I'm passing it on to the next generation.
Last time I played with beyblades was back before I went to high school back in 2003, my friends started playing again in X and it got me curious.
The Turtle (I was the only Draciel fanboy in my group) will play again.
...wait, what do you mean Beyblade is 25 years old?
The inescapable march of time is a horrifying thing indeed. Only now do I truly appreciate "1985" by Bowling for Soup.
Beyblade x has re ignited my passion for beyblades like the metal serials first did and I’m honestly happy that I don’t have to import
Them from Japan like I did during the metal Series
Awesome video! This motivated me to try and start my own group of bladers in my area.
