How Did Beyblade End? Final Arc Review 

NEXT STOP V-FORCE?! SUBSCRIBE!

And somehow this is the most normal season of the original saga

"Tyson is seen carrying Max, as he is known to do." Not necessary man. 🤣

There's something sweet about them all just running outside to play more beyblades together after Tyson is the champion, like yeah they just traveled the entire world to win huge tournaments but they just love the game.

Kai has one of the best Redemption arcs. It's a seriously underrated one with how Beyblade tends to be overlooked among the endless list of anime, but damn if it's not good. So often we skip over the former antagonist rival having tension with his team before finally settling into a friendly rival position. But with Kai spending more of the season being aloof, before leaving the team, then coming back, it makes the final arc moments with him extra special. Especially because he lost his match solidly, so isn't just 'back and solidifies his spot with power!'. It's his coaching and support that really shows he is part of the team, not just his win record.

Dragoon talking at the very end gives me chills. Mainly because Bit-Beast rarely ever gets to talk like this. But it does show that Bit-Beast are indeed living beings.

Was I the only one on the edge of my seat when I heard the theme song to season 1 to tell themselves “If he doesn’t end the theme song with ‘Let It Rip’ I will riot.” Just me?

Ray vs. Bryan is one of my favorite fights of the series. The stakes, the brutal nature of it and the epic finish, it is great.

I forget the person Ray was facing but that battle probably one of my favorites in the franchise because the guy was actually trying to kill Ray with all the hits Ray was was taking and when Ray’s hair all came down that’s when I knew something crazy was about to happen.

The only thing back then that didnt make no sense is how they all acted like Tyson was the only world champ when it was literally a team win and Ray also won his match

I still listen to the Beyblade soundtrack, I know its very 90s but some of those songs are still bangers.

This season of Beyblade was the best(imo). It didn't have the best animation but it was so wholesome that you can't hate it

I love how every season so far has had inventive launchers that work within the theme of the user and the finale boss teams are just GUN 🔫

This arc was one of the coolest finales to a Beyblade series, but in a way, also bittersweet. This is, so far, the only Beyblade series to be produced by animation studio Madhouse, with production on V-Force and G-Revolution taken over by Nippon Animation. This isn't a mark against those seasons, far from it, but the visual changes are noticeable, mainly in character designs and the use of CGI for the Beyblades. The latter becoming a staple for all Beyblade shows moving forward. That said, this was an awesome review series, and I look forward to seeing you tackle the next 2 seasons in the future👍

You are seriously my favorite RU-vidr, you don’t bloat your reviews, it’s a fast paced exciting review that touches without diving into every episode condensed super well.

The most distressing part about this is how much I actually do remember. Damn, I loved this show.

"You will compete in this tournament as a team! But only 1 of you can be world champ." ..... What??? That's so stupid! 🙄

Ray’s fight in the final was my favourite in all of Beyblade. I also love Tala; Walborg was the first Beyblade I bought.

Beyblade's Russia arc and Digimon Adventure's Myotismon arc are my favourite story arcs from when I was a kid. I had a VHS recording of the last few episodes of Beyblade's first season and I basically watched it until it broke. Beyblade's always had a special place in my heart, It was the series that made me discover online fandom. I made so many cringe OC bladers, art, and fanfictions. Thanks for making these videos, there's not too much on RU-vid about the original Beyblade saga and it kinda makes me sad that it didn't stay as relevant as early Pokemon, Yi gi oh, and Digimon Adventure did because it definitely deserved to. I hope you do V Force and G Revolution too.

How did Tyson become the world champion again? If i remember correctly it was a teamtournement. How did one person become the champion in this?

Great review for a great show. I remember how shocked I was at Kai’s loss, I truly had shivers watching Ray’s match. Young me was almost in tears. Tyson v Tala. All I can hear in my head is Tala saying “reprocessing” during his first match, still losing and the completely abandoning the cyber part in the last ep.

I remember watching this series as a kid but couldn't recall most of it. I never realized the first series was this fun and dramatic. But thanks for making these retrospective videos it's been a fun trip down memory lane revisiting this series again

Thank you TheDigiKnow for doing this Series review of Beybalde.

The long-awaited review! Rei's battle with boris/bryan was one of the best episodes ever in the first arc. You can tell a lot of things hinged on his victory; he'll have to gain that through blood. At the end, rei pulled through despite the odds and allowed takao to face off in the final match. Thanks for the review! It's one of the best video series about the first season of beyblade, despite the trouble you had to go through these previous weeks

Unironically a god tier ost and the fight between ray and Bryan might be my favourite part in the entire cartoon. Glad I got to catch up on all this with the community ❤️

Driger is the most introverted bit beast, he just goes away whenever he wants to recharge.

Man, the eng dub fucked up a lot of things... -The white tiger never leaved -Ralph (Robert) didn't offer Takao a training, he went hard on Takao from the beginning just to expose that Takao was relying on anger (just like Gianni did in Rome) -After Kai and his grandpa speech the Black Dranzer chip is shown on Dranzer and Takao and Prof K saw it thinking that Kai was about using it. But then during the match Kai uses the normal Dranzer -And yes, Yuri is definitely not a cyborg ahahahah Btw apart from the goofy eng dub I can't wait for your next reviews of V-Force and G-Revolution, very good job man💪🏻

Beyblade, Tamiya, crush gear, yugioh, digimon, pokemon. Very nostalgic this is one of the best anime that have real life game.

Heck yeah! This was such a great series of reviews Thank you for sticking to it. The OG season will always be special with its vivid character designs et al

Appreciate you touching on what happens in the Japanese version. The English dub took a lot of liberties and cut a lot of scenes out, especially in G Revolution.

Wonderful work! Way to come out on top!

Amazing video! Thank you so much for this series, this season was such a massive part of my childhood and I thoroughly enjoyed your videos breaking them down and reviewing it.

Amazing video and I love the good kid clip at the end

Finally, you made this video. I have been waiting since 2 weeks

Can’t wait for you to cover G-Rev

Thank you for these awesome reviews. This season also meant a lot to me when I was a child and it still does.

Really enjoyed revisiting this show via your retrospective! It will always have a special place in my heart and was a big part of my childhood

TheDigiGOAT. I loved this retrospective, can't wait for the v-force and g-rev videos. beyblade along with digimon were my first anime so it's nice to see these videos pop up

Looking forward to season 2 brother. Really enjoyed you reviewing this

You gotta do both the two added series, I have been loving this series and genuine look forward to the next video dropping! Thank you for letting me relive my childhood in a fun and also genuinely thoughtful way with your commentary walking us through the story beats and laughing along with the ridiculous and charming aspects of the show. I find it's extreme and ridiculous in world logic is very reminiscent of yugioh and I love it! I also really wouldn't mind you stretching out the content to point out more fun or interesting things or plot beats in the arc, I'd take a 30 - 45 minute version of this any day. Anyway thank you again, looking forward to Vforce and have a wonderful day!

This was such a nostalgic video, thanks for the review of this kool anime.

At the end of the original Beyblade Series the Bladebreakers defeated the Demolition Boys and became world champions while at the same time all of the stolen Bit-Beasts are returned to their owner and stopped Biovolt for good. However I still wished this final episode have more scenes like seeing Tala, Bryan, Ian and Spencer confront by their coach Boris for using them and then reappeared again as they reform while join the White Tigers,the Allstarz, the Majestic and the Dark Bladers challenging Tyson as the new world champion because that would make sense to the end of this episode.

I’m so hyped for the next arc review!!!

Solid ending! Thanks for triggering nostalgic memories with these vids @thedigiknow

Congratulations 🥳 on 50 000 subs! And thanks for this fun series! Looking forward to V force and of course G rev !

I LOVED this retrospective I’m so glad someone has taken a good look at this series!! It’s great how you’ve said exactly what I’ve thought for years on this series! I thing revolution is my favourite season of tne OG series but season 1 is a close second Thank you for this review series!

Can't wait for screenshot next season

Been watching your reviews for a while, great content my guy. I fondly remember when I decided to rewatch Beyblade and Metabots, and man it did not disappoint for a kids show. Hope you hit your sub goal soon!

Driger did return at the end of the series with no explanation.

Loved the series , subbed after the first episode . Excited for part two . Think of doing medabots or digimon ? Those would be really cool too

Great review! It’s been nice to watch every Beyblade video!

I really love the nostalgia trip that came from watching these videos! (Can't wait for the next series) As a kid from Toronto it was really cool when this show was airing because they did the English voice acting here. It was really crazy when Ray's voice actor showed up in Mean Girls (OG one) which was also filmed in Toronto

what a ride this review has been, crazy how as stakes in the anime got higher that it almost resulted in a channel take down! and now with the roller coaster that is v force, will have to mentally prepare for that series 😆

You know it had to have felt good for the White Tigers and All-Starz to see Kai get mopped up.

These reviews were great. I nvr watched the original beyblade so it was nice to learn about were it all started.

Ray has the best fights in all the entire Gen 1 Beyblade series. Let's be honest, Ray Vs Brian was like a fight in Yu Yu Hakkusho but without blood. Despite losing Kai won, that is how you make a character lose to an important fight. Ray and Kai carried the final arc.

Thank you. Thank you for taking me down this trip down memory lane. Hopefully, you do V-Force next.

Ah, ya know what? Just because you're so warm and cool, and you do your homework, I'm subbing. She says, NOT trying to make it sound like I'm doing you a favour, because I do legitimately like your work. I looked forward to this hardcore, and you had a good point about Tala that I never observed before; he's Kai without friends. But he's also an ABUSED CHILD. For child abuse alone, BIOVOLT was so exquisitely illegal in real-world context, holy sh*t.

I didn't remember a thing after the Asia tournament, but every single scene in the videos was like "Yeah, that desing... I have seen it before!"

It's finally here! Glad to see you made it through the copyright nonsense, and looking forward to the V-Force retrospectives.

Please do G Revolution as well. I just have the slightest memory that I loved it, but I don’t remember it good enough. Thanks for the videos and please keep it going

I wish there was a beyblade anime with a school setting like Yu-Gi-Oh GX. I think enough time has passed that it wouldn't seem like they're copying that idea. Great job of this reward review. I just started G-Rev about two weeks ago watching 1 episode a day. And yes, the sound track is peak.

Thanks for the series! Really enjoyed it and found your channel when part 1 was released. Never saw what happens next as they didn't air the other series where I lived. Hyped to see recap of other series. Russia arc was the one I remember the most. I remember stakes being super high there. Hope there's more moments like that. Question - are you friends with Good Kid members or just a fan? Also discovered their music through you. Really a gift that keeps on giving lol.

Huh… I remember Tala being a bigger deal than he actually ended up being. Oh yeah he’s the final boss of course but in my nostalgia I remember him as being more built up and developed as this unbeatable badass more than he actually was (no I haven’t read the manga which I’m sure does him better). Heh, nostalgia's a funny thing! Anyway I’ve very much enjoyed this retrospective. A very nice trip down memory lane for a franchise that was once my autistic hyperobsession. Thank you very much for doing this series!

Glad your reviews have been restored and these troubles are past. I'm... sure it won't be the last time this sort of thing happens to you, but it's worth celebrating these small victories anyway. Having Kai lose and be placed in the role of a tutor once again was a masterful move by the writers. It highlights that his greatest strength is not his prowess at battling with a beyblade, but as a guide, a planner and a strategist, this makes him more interesting than he would have been if he won and was simply another "warrior". 4:57 Preeeetty sure injuring your opponent should be very illegal in such a sport, but what are you gonna do. 8:29 Pretty sure defying the laws of physics, and taking your opponent into a pocket dimension in the middle of a match should be illegal as well (just a little bit). Thank you for this review series, this was pretty fun, I barely remembered this stuff. I look forward to your other projects, and the follow up as well!

I will say I loved Kai's growth in this season, especially his last fight where he may have lost, but he chose to no longer hunger for power and to fight true to himself, and if he lost, he would have faith in his friends to win which is pretty good development from him not having faith and always being solo #1 to seeing his teammate's strengths and having trust in them. Will say I wish ya luck with V-force it's not my favorite season tho it may have some moments that could be neat.

So glad this is back 😊

so keen for v-force, thank you for these great beyblade videos!

That shot of Rei in the thumbnail...looks beast. Even if it came from the match where he was fighting for his life.

Thank you for this series! I was on a toys r us beyblade team in elementary school lol. Would you ever do a series on Medabots!? I remember being into that as well

Great retrospective. Looking forward to V-Force

After my real first watch through the series (and currently on G Revolution), the og Beyblade series is surprisingly solid, even with the wacky dubisms. There are great character interactions and great matches with so much of the cast that I can actually give a recommendation. Kai and Ray are easily my two favorite characters in the whole thing but that's not to undersell Tyson and Max as they have a bunch of great moments, same with a few of the other cast members. Its honestly just a fun series to watch and get into if you're up for it.

Dranzer vs cyber dranzer is going to go hard. It wasnt really shown what happened in the English dub , but if you happen to remember this comment then look into the kai wyatt stuff when it comes up. Your videos are always bangers!

I loved all this videos 💪

Always found it weird that only tyson is called world champion when it was a team match. Arent they all world champions

oh dude im so here if you do end up continuing this w/ v-force, this was great

babe quick, new beyblade review dropped

This review series has been fucking LIT

Love the reviews. I've watched all three seasons of Beyblade a few times since childhood so I know what's to come but it's definitely fun watching others revisit the series. V-Force will be a much different experience but I'm really looking forward to it. If you ever do G-Revolution THAT IS WHERE IT IS AT.

I still have the last fight with Tyson vividly in my memory after watching it on youtube when i was like 8, Beyblade season 1 is still awesome

Beyblade was an insane addiction to me as a kid (with Pokemon and Yugioh too) but it was so cool because it was all too real if you played the real life game. I legit wished at my 11th birthday that Dragoon came alive

Honestly, theres a reason the first season of Beyblade was able to start a long running franchise, it's just so rock solid!

I have a memory of the gang having an antagonist who wants to steal bit beasts to revive his dead son, or am I making this up?

I've been enjoying your reviews very much. Any plans to do some other series? Like Pokemon Horizons? Or maybe manga like One Piece and Oshi no Ko?

Kai losing was such an amazing twist and did so much for his own growth as a character.

Small disapointing spoiler: Drigger comes back to Ray once Tala is defeated for some reason, I dont think it is ever explained why it left or xamd back.

cant wait for V-Force and GRevolution!!

Really been enjoying the spinoff, no pun intended at this time, retrospect journey so far. Beyblade was one of many that I grew up with alongside Digimon and many others, though it was probably the Metal series as I’ll call it my brain remembers me getting into it the most at with the lead character Gingka I believe. Can’t wait to see if you dive that deep, but happily gonna be along for the ride no matter where it goes.

Something that always got on my nerves though is why is Tyson the world champion? It's a team based sport so the team is what should be recongized as the champion.

Beyblade season 1 had no business being as fire as it did while certainly not perfect and having its issues here and there like you said it could of just been some throw away series just to sell toys and do nothing more but you could feel the care and attention put into it. I really enjoyed your coverage of this season 1 and I'm really looking forward to seeing you tackle V force a season that I won't lie I'm not the biggest fan of but can't wait to see your coverage of it none the less let rip it.

The Kai impression makes me lol every time

Ive done the same, rewatched season one of beyblade and I cant believe how well it held up so that made me want to rewatch V force aswell... I wish I just stuck with the season 1 rewatch 🤣

I can't wait for the Metal Series reviews. Yuu and Masamune are my favourites although they show up quite a bit into the show

that final battle between tyson and tala was always something crazy to me as a kid always thought tala was a robot

I do hope, in spite of the needless obstacles in your way, you continue to cover Beyblade into V-Force. I'm also curious to see if you'd cover another nostalgic, toy-centered series, Battle B-Daman.

Damn more than 20 years damn I’m old 😂

Thanks for continuing with the series even despite the RU-vid bullshit that's been happening to you. ON TO V-FORCE!

Vforce is probably my favorite of the go series so here’s hoping it gets a series!!

Great series I am looking forward to v force. I remember the Cyberbit Beast Being cool.

Said it before, I'll say it again. It's held up well.
