Always Kai, he kept getting screwed by Tyson for literally no fucking reason. Black Dranzer was GOAT

I was such a stupid child. I bought into every Japanese fad that was going on at the time.
I bought pokemon cards, pokemon games, beyblades, yugioh cards, yugioh games, I even bought some cards of that rip off show about a kid who constantly plays the same fire cards and then wonders why he loses.
I wasn't alone though, many of my friends were like that too, but a little less extreme.
In hindsight, the Japanese children's marketing team is more Jewish than the Americans could ever be.

KEK holy shit fucking chinks and their fake beyblades
>>
Rei > Kai > whoever.

However, every generation of Dranzer was better than every other Beyblade. I remember the ones being sold as Master Dranzer (or Metal Draciel, they were exactly the same) were fucking lethal. They would spin forever and would hurt like an absolute bitch it you picked it up during it's rotation.

I used to lover this shit, in my year and the year above mine in secondary school we had like ranking matches and tournaments and shit, it was great. We then moved onto YGO! which was also great until the school banned it after we tried to recreate that arc where the winners would take the losers rarest cards and the upper years kept battering the lower years and taking their best cards.

Kai. He was the coolest guy ever when I was kid. I had a crush on him. And the Black Dranza arc is the best in the series.

The first one is always better. It's the rule of the Universe.
>>
>>143834781
I mean you kind of proved my point, a very action oriented hotblooded series paired with a more soulful calm song. Why?

Beyblade needed the hotblooded OST that the american version did to make up for the fact that its a show about fucking spinning plastic and was a SUPER generic shounen. That's probably why it did so well in america despite having no real marketability besides toys.
>>
>>143834896
2 wasn't bad at all, I kind of liked the art style shift actually. I remember how much better the bit beasts, especially dragoon, looked. My point was more about that they strayed from original characters and created ORIGINAL DONUT STEEL characters worse than even YGO did.

>>143817146

Rei, probably. Best personality and I remember he was a great cook, worked at a fancy restaurant for some time or something like that.

But I had a massive homo crush on Kai for years. The only other Beyblade character I fancied was Brooklyn, so I guess I just like autistic edgelords.

Also the first season has a wonderful soundtrack.
>>
>>143835087
This is a lot better, to me. It's more upbeat and seems to kind of challenge itself with it's difference in vocalists/sudden changes in tone.

wouldnt happen to be a solar ring would it?
i managed to take one of em down using a custom bottom hollowed out and filled with magnets, and fitted 3 heavy spark rings on it
it could spin for exactly 16 minutes and 32 seconds using a launcher i built based on the rc launcher, hollowed it out and placed strips of plastic behind the launch gear because i figured 99% launches performed have several of the cogs skip when you pull the string, forcing the string to atomic level closeness to the gear makes it not skip a single cog, even tho it takes 30 seconds to even insert the string due to resistance and you'll get some looks, and even tho it requires all the strength of a 12 year old to pull, the sheer resulting force is the beyest of blades

I don't really hate any of the main four, but I really liked Ray's fights. and Mariah is best girl.

Daichi was super shitty though.

>>143823671
I wouldn't call it an abomination, but it was the weakest of the three Seasons for sure.

Their V-Force designs always bothered me because they look like they aged backwards.

"Off the Chains" was a good intro though.

>>143833069
To be fair, Kai came back and basically fucked Brooklyn up on a mental level. That shit was glorious

was "Hang On" the only english Beyblade song to not have an official release? Any one I find online always has has background noise from the show on it.
>>
>>143817146
Either Kai or Ray. Ray was probably the best character in terms of personality and general likeability, Kai was obviously the coolest and best-designed. I remember marking out when I watched their fight with each other.

Incidentally, does anyone still play with/collect Beyblades? I-it's not like I do or anything, I'm just curious is all.

>>143836167
I still have all of my old ones. But I haven't bought any new ones.

I really kind of like the newer ones and I'm an autist who still collects Pokemon figures. I can't justify buying them though since I haven't watched the show since G-Revolution. Anyone seen the newer seasons?

I rewatched season 1 recently and shit was fucking fun. As a kid, I really liked Rei and I still do. Definitely, he has the best design and personality and the coolest bit beast. Max was pretty cool too.

But damn, I loved this show as a kid. I still want to play with beyblades but I feel like like a massive autist for considering.

So how is the new series burst?
I tried watching metal fight, but I didn't really enjoy it.
I still don't for the life of me know if Beyblade used good and it got worse with metal fight or if I am just wearing massive nostalgia goggles.

season one>season 3>season 2

season 2 felt so weird to me beacuse all the blade effects were on 3D and everyone (excerpt kai) turned into a scrub again. than we had the bad guys with the cyberblades and the other not so bad guys that wanted to steal everyone blades beacuse reasons but, later became friends with everyone.

season 3 was much better and was a good end to the series for me. no big bad guy trying to take over the wrold, everyone just having bayblade fights with each other. tyson vs kai was the best part.

The problem with Season 2 is that they felt like they wanted the show to get more "real" after season 1. Like they wanted it to be like other toyetic series and have a giant evil conspiracy, but the problem is that they were not very good at it. Also the character design change looked fucking weird. Like even I was trying to figure out if it was the same show

But yeah, G-Revolution was awesome.

Eh, I think they worked out the kinks within the first 10-15 eps of S2, and made it convincing enough in S3.

Max was probably my second favorite, but i dont mind he was such a jobber.

Sort of. They had a fair amount of character to them outside their established archetypes. I honestly think this was one of the reasons why Beyblade was so fucking popular outside of Japan for a while, and produced to much fan content.

aren't they like 12?

It came out a year before the anime I think, it still had spinning tops with monster gods in them. I read it a long time ago and plot-wise I don't think it was that different, but it was somewhat darker in some aspects iirc. Also had shitty art and the kids grow up and get married in the end. The mangaka would sometimes put short stories about the characters on his website. I remember this one about Tala and Bryan's childhood that his editor didn't let him add to the manga for being too dark, it was translated and passed around in those English Beyblade forums

Honestly I prefer the anime over the manga, it developed the characters much better. I'd be very happy to see more animated Beyblade with the original characters

He had the most well-rounded and balanced personality. There was a bit of edge, some hot-headedness, some friendliness and goofiness all mixed into his character, while never really delving into any extremity like the other three did. That's why I like him best. And his fights were all great, from what I remember.

I remember always going to a friend's house and how we used his massive jacuzzi for battle royale-style last blade standing matches. Fun times.
>>
>>143817146
Ray because he's a canon non-virgin.
>>
>>143891684
Kai is rich so I doubt he is a virgin either.
>>
>>143892145
Yeah, but he's too edgy to care about the pussy.
>>
>>143890186
Yeah, he was supposed to be the ultimate weapon for world domination. God, V Force was stupid as fuck.
>>
>>143892323
You are implying he wouldn't? Why? He would have pussy thrown at him the moment he opens his wallet.

Would have said Kai, if I didn't realize that he took time out of his day to walk up to a mirror and put those gay-ass tribal marks on his face. So either Max or Ray. Leaning towards Max; he'd be cool to hang out with.

Max. I never really followed the anime though. I thought the designs were really ugly although they fixed it later and the idea was stupid even as kid.

I always liked Max because he was the underdog if i remember right. Besides the other choices are not really good. Chinese guy, edge/rival guy and MC were never my favorite characters.

The openings songs were awesome though.

>>143892629
I'm just saying that standard Shounen tropes dictate that edgelords prioritise shit like getting stronger and beating their husbando rivals over pussy.
>>
>>143891211
>Tfw my friends only cared about or talked about Pokemon
>You werent allowed to like anything else similar, or pretty much anything from an anime.
Even stupider in this case because Beyblade was pretty much its own thing with no competitors at the time.
>>
>Season 1
I'm mixed. oviously there's more stuff in the anime, but the manga looks much better plus Yuriy/Tala is better used.
>Season 2
Anime is shit; find a way to read the manga.
>Season 3
Anime is way better; manga's not bad either. The BEGA arc is anime-only, but is also kind of the best arc in Beyblade.
>>
>>143829604
Kek, I did this to some guys beyblade too, but mine wasn't some gook metal shit, it was just one of the big ones. After like 4 impacts his beyblade fucking exploded and he got super angry at me lmao.
>>
>>143828666
Just now I realize how retarded this shit was.
>>
>>143823912
There was a faggot at my school who welded two nails on either end of the metal part of his and would break other peoples with it.

Just another reason why they're usually great.

Was I the only one that actually got one of these?

When they came out the fad was already long gone but they were OP as fuck, and such high quality too compared to the shitty 1st gen ones.

He used to be good, pre-timeskip. But that kind of goes for the show in general. Before that Sasuke was pleasantly edge.

i used to WRECK SHIT with this fucker

seaborg was so busted, it was SUPER low to the ground and extremely wide, so it would hit the other beyblades right in the bottom and just tip them over so easy. the weight disk was so massive too ..... man i loved that thing

V-force made them all cute shotas.
Which is why it's the best season.

yeah it sounds like a chain smoker.

>think its fake

>suppose to re-release Driger, Dranzer, and Draciel with the new Burst mechanic but no Dragoon.
>supposedly because the left spin would be problematic

the fuck, do the newer Beyblades not use the left spin like Dragoon?
>>
>>143817146
The only plot related thing from that show I remember is some kid said "remember that time Kai turned evil in Russia?" and everyone started laughing.
I don't know why but something about the way it was said was fucking hilarious.
>>
>>143842849
yeah but did anyone buy the cards?
>>
>>143820342
At least their advertisement shows were actually good.

The second season having a non-disgusting art style was the most relieving day I ever had as a kid.

the soundtrack for the dub was hype as fuck
especially for the final battle

forgot about the apache helicopters and the crawling in my skin tier antagonist

Shogun Steel looks pants on head retarded

Damn, the newer series seems trash. Does it hold a candle to the original at all?
>>
>>143898368
no, I've watched Metal Fight and that sequel and it was still pretty meh with L Drago being the high point, but Shogun Steel and Beyrunners took a fat stinking shit on the series, the new series looks like it's trying but is pulling a Pokemon, and being really childish with a genki protag to reel in kids
>>

I dont think i even want to see what this looks like.

Fuck it, I'm gonna stock up on drinks and marathon the entire original series again. I hope you're happy, /a/.
