Golden age of Beyblade...until the WizardRod 9-60 B starts spinning

6:33 MOM I MADE IT INTO A JETTKUSO VIDEO!!

PEAK! WELCOME TO THE NEW ERA OF BEYBLADE

I absolutely love X because it feels like the original Metal Series but cranked to 100. I legit had an X bey rip skin off of my thumb and that’s when I knew that we were so back.

don't get used to this rapid upload schedule... Deadlines be deadlines, but enjoy the stacked fruits of my labor!

I lost my grandfather around 2 years ago in december. Your part about "the golden age" made me burst in tears. My parents always spoilt me early on and grew to distaste toys in general ( i grew out of it later on , dont worry ) I got into beyblade and my grandpa always snuck me after class to buy knock offs bey because we couldnt afford the real ones. I remember he had bought me an original libra because i begged for it once , he fixed a bunch of launchers i broke and even made a makeshift bey stadium for me. I didnt know where my bey went , his moped has been sold , my grandma still despises him and my parents consider him "just" a worker and not a succesfull person. If youre reading this , drop your phone and just live in the moment , breathe it in , the cringyness , the small stuff , the toys you were afraid of being too grown up to play , the friends you distanced from because they didnt grow. One day itll all end I miss him

The original Beyblades were what got me into building gunpla/plamo kits as an adult. But I also understand why that model just doesn't work for a toy like a battle top. Lol

A jettkuso video exclusively for the spinniest tops to ever top ?? A blessed day for bey, truly

Beyblade X just blows my mind because it is the prime example of big companies actually listening to the fans and getting good results. The end of Burst, the main complaint in Japan was that the Beys were too clunky, complex, and barely bursted, which was, y'know, the WHOLE BLOODY POINT OF THAT ERA OF BEYBLADE. And the main complaint in America was that they legit felt like little plastic simple spinny tops for babies. And guess what. BOTH SIDES LISTENED. Beys now only have 3 parts, very lightweight compared to the 60-70 gram Burst beys, and they added the X-Line so now you have two bullet-speed metal spinners crashing into each other. Of course they're gonna burst now. In America, beys now have the same quality as in Japan, making the game much more fun for all ages. And now, more people are falling in love with Beyblade than ever. Veterans are returning, newcomers are arriving, and publicity is through the roof. I really hope other companies learn from the success of Beyblade X. LISTENING TO THE FANS WORKS.

Ratchets affects height, weight, burstability, and WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION. People keep forgetting that ratchets help with beyblade balance, 5-60's help top heavy blades to keep balance, same as 7-60 (this is why its good for a thick def blade like crest, and for top heavy blades like dragoon, WT, and blackshell)

These are the good old days

What a great video!

Using homestuck as a example is godly, especially since homestuck fans have basically been trying to recapture that feeling AKA when they were 14

7:19 Jake forgot about lower weight distribution (aka just heavier ratchets which is why 5-60 is so popular and 7-60 is really promising). Also while a bit more niche 1-60 has 2 popular purposes that it serves for more agro combos that being it can balance out unbalanced blades and when KO’d it’s really good at knocking itself back into the stadium meaning it lowers the amount of points your opponent gets from wins. These are Ratchet secrets Jake doesn’t want you to know

The boring feel and attack types always losing were because of Hasbro's stadiums. Takara's stadiums weren't fully covered with walls so attack types could usually KO with ease. Metal Fight Limited is one of the most balanced formats out there for all of Beyblade.

Something that really has me interested in this gen is that bey construction actually matters, and that's gonna be a huge pull for the older crowd. It was a common joke both as a kid and years later on that the only important parts were the performance tip and the contact point (The blade, fusion wheel, w/e) everything else was for aesthetic. That is not the case in X. The blades affect how you hit the bey, the ratchet affects its defense and lifespan essentially, and the bit affects spin pattern in, as you said, *predictable* ways. Adding even a new ratchet changes your X bey, where as your metal fusion bey would do the exact same thing regardless of what energy wheel or spin track you used. Hell the performance tip really was the most important piece. The predictable customizability where your piece choice actually matters is what will get your TCG players and tabletop nerds in general into this. I actually am building a collection to introduce to my local game store to hopefully start a more hardcore tournament scene up here in Western Washington XD

I was five years old when Beyblade launched stateside, and my cousin picked me out my first bey, Dragoon Storm. History would repeat itself twice over with that same cousin giving me my first Burst bey, Xcalius X2, and recently my first X bey, Sword Dran. I can't say for certain if Beyblade X is the final form of the icononic Japanese spinning top, But it comes pretty dang close. Also, I absolutely loved the ending message. It gave me a deeper sense of understanding why folks my age think the way they do, and enjoy the things we enjoy. Hearing that message further solidified my drive(car pun intended) for collecting kid's toys from my youth. Here's hoping that Mattel acknowledges AcceleRacers' existence for a 20th anniversary celebration, followed by a Hot Wheels 60th anniversary.

THat last part nearly made me cry, nostalgia of a golden era is so powerful. It sucks to see when other ips try to recreate that and only tarnish it when things like bakugan and beyblade just refreshed it, created new ones. Thanks for showing this, Jett. I'm excited to try the new beyblades

I think you misunderstood TT’s stance on the limited list. It was only intended for a 1 on 1 format where each player only uses one bey. This is the format for the early rounds of Japan tournaments. The standard 3 on 3 format wasn’t intended to be used with the limited list. Furthermore the limited list was tested for use in one trial tournament in June and then subsequently it was decided that the list would not be implemented.

i hope this movement also reflects in more countries such as brazil!

7:42 SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG!!!!!!!!

Part 3 just…touching 🥹

SO YOU JOINED THE DARK SIDE HUH?!?! WELCOME!!! 🖤🙏🏿🙏🏿

"I'm new to beyblades" Could have fooled me. That one bakugan stream made you look like a total expert.

I honestly feel the same way with how this new generation of Beyblade has gotten me back into a good nostalgia trip, specially after importing both Dranzer and Driger. Something about all this feels good, albeit short lived, which is why I've told all my friends about this new format and they've all gotten excited over it, one friend in particular is waiting in anticipation for when they bring back Draciel in the X format. I hope this generation stays for as long as it can, but even if it does go away or changes for the worse, at least Beyblade X is giving me back some childhood joy.

For ratchets, there’s 3 things you’re mainly looking for in them, burst resistance, height, and weight. Something like 7-60 is the heaviest ratchet, and while it may not be the heaviest ratchet, it is heavy which is good for attack and defense. Something like 9 sided ratchets will have higher burst resistance because they’re much rounder, however they’re also lighter so they’re not as good for defense and attack but you don’t have to worry about bursting. Higher heights are also useful despite what was said, some things such as Tyranno Beat are great at hitting down so you want them higher than your opponent on 70/80 height ratchets. Higher stamina types can also sit on top of the shorter ones, however higher center of mass makes it so you have less pure stamina. Some other things like LAD and escaping pockets are important, 9-60 is very round which lets it spin longer when the bey can no longer keep itself upright so it spins more smoothly. 1-60 is also unbalanced and almost oval shaped which allows beys to smack themselves out of the pockets and come back in instead of being koed, 1-60 can also be used to balance tune combos.

It's so cool to see that Beyblade X has brought so many people both returning and newcomers into it!! This really is the Golden Era!! Awesome video, Jett!

I think by far my favorite thing about X is that for the first time in history, TT and Hasbro are ACTUALLY ON PAR It massively increases the competetive scene's ease of access, and not to mention the launchers being the best they've ever been, the beyblades looking amazing, and the sheer intensity of the battles.

The good old day of beyblade is when you build it yourself by snip each parts off and put it together.

The two sides of Jett Kuso: Haha the tops go spin Impermanence is the only permanent thing. Appreciate what you can now so you will have it to reflect on and not to regret missing.

arrow wizard money gang... we love letting it rip

Beyblade has celebrated the franchise's 25th anniversary. Seeing this much popularity is more than the previous generations with the playerbase getting bigger and bigger! This is to show that a simple game mechanic while adding new gimmicks, strategy-based customization, collectible value, and a dedicated playerbase, show that Beyblade is not just a game that will last as a fad, but a hobby that has been tested by time.

Rachets can also affect the performance of the bey. Just like using 1-60 to create a more chaotic movement that can time to time save a bey from being knockout after falling in the side pockets or almost getting extreme finish. Sometimes just changing the rachet can lessen the chance of self KO.

It's so fun. I haven't touched beyblade since I was a kid. I saw the stadium for x with the two blades and grabbed them. My wife and I have been playing non stop

the biggest indicator of how big beyblade x is how many tournaments there are even tho it's only 1st wave of the gen. Like here in Indonesia, there's already a national tournament planned later this year. Both metal fight and burst took a while to get this level of interest from people, meanwhile bbx did it within less than 2 year.

I feel like most of the usual stamina bits (ball/orb) losing you a point feels like a change made exclusively for wizard rod since it disincentivises you from running stamina period, other than that i love it

when this man covers competitive aspect this man will hate wizard rod 9-60 ball

HOLY SHIT A BEYBLADE VIDEO FROM JETTKUSO

To be clear on the Limited Rule, it was only used on one major tournament in Japan because they had reporters flying in from other countries, it has not been seen since

As someone who has hovered around beyblade for 10+ years and dipped out juust as burst had it’s last line to then return to X and through Hasbro of all things, yeah it’s wild how well X has taken off and how good it is generally. The Anime/Manga is the closest we’ve seen since early burst to a series that treats the game more like a sport than a save the world adventure. The game itself has taken the best aspects of each previous generation and created something that fulfills the nostalgia of older players while also adding a new element that creates hype and also hooks in new audiences. And the means that have been taken at least early on to open the game up not only to kids but adults who have been fans of various hobbies to show how seriously it can be taken is really nice. Like it’s so good that there is a local environment in my city when I’d barely been able to see one for the last 5-6 years I had tried beyblade, and it’s next to a fighting game venue that has also slowly taken an interest in it too. I really hope it keeps up and at least expands to the point where we can have a proper world, national, or regional tournament again.

Ratchets work with Stability, Hight and Burst resistance All the ratchets until now are called by their "contact points" and then by their hight. So, for example, if you have a 1-60 ratchet, you have a ratchet with 1 main contact point and 6 millimeters of hight, what will make the bey shorter, and a Lot unbalanced, because of the unique contact point it does have. But, if you do use a 5-80 ratchet, you do have a ratchet with 5 contact points and 8 millimeters of hight. In Beyblade X, has I said, ratchets work also with different hights, so, you can costumize your Bey with ratchets of different hights, so your Bey will interact differently with the opponent, depending if it's at the same level, higher or lower than it. Every Inch counts on Beyblade X. We also have the Burst gimmick in Beyblade X. So, it works this way: the less contact points it have, the easiest it is to the Burst. The opposite its also true: the more contact points it does have, the hard it is to burst, because, if it has more contact points it does have more probably to get Burst. A similar thing happens with the hight of the ratchet: the shorter it is, the easiest to burst, the taller it is, the harder to burst. That happens because the ratchet is more able to get hit in it if it is in a higher position. That also happens in the opposite way. Lower hight, less able to get hit in it. The ratchet Illinuc referred its 9-60, so, it has 9 contact points and 6 millimeters of hight, so it will be harder to Burst because if does have More contact points. Also, this ratchet is a bit different: 3 of the 9 points are a bit more pronounced and the other 6 are a lot less pronounced than the previous ones, what makes the rathet a lot more rounder and in this case, smaller than the other ones, making it harder to get hit by other Beyblades. Because of that, this ratchet is really usable in the competitive. Now you choose what ratchet to use. But one thing is known: more than know how the pieces work, it's to real test it in Real Life. Test Test And test Again! And has always, have fun!

4:46 shadow wizard money gang we love casting spells

I think X will get more complex and customisable as time goes on and if they add gimmics and different materials to the beys. But as of right now seems like we are indeed in the golden era and I think it won’t change even if the beys get heavier and more complex.

12:04 the way my Yugioh Brain Tingled when I heard Synchro 😂😂😂😂

If you like wizard arrow the best combo for it is 3-60 taper

We got Wizard Arrow Phonk Edit before GTA 6. I'm here for it.

20:24 SHADOW WIZARD MONEY DUEL WE LOVE CASTING SPELLS!!! 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ratchets - 4 Bad - Go Low - Go Round Spintracks where a bit better tbh

Not gonna lie I haven't heard any thing bad about the Beyblade X line

Just incase anyone is curious song at the start is called super riser

I didn’t expect for a video about Beyblade to make me break into tears… But here we are. I got into Beyblade X last year because of you, Jett. It was a franchise I was always aware of but never thought would be right for me… Until your Bakugan reboot video and it made me curious. Now my husband and I are both obsessed, even a full year later. Documenting matches and doing weights and measures and theory crafting decks with each other. Unfortunately it looks like my local scene tried X out and decided to go back to older generations but this might have been the push I need to just…. start one on my own.

The beys that look like candy! So colorful!

So funny thing about the Limited parts handicap, I don't know if every scene does it, but the Metal Needle Bit is banned, not because it's OP (it's just meh for a stamina type, and the fact that S-tier Ball exists), but because I'm not about to mess with a part that'll just destroy a stadium.

as a father of young children that just discovered your awesome channel and also Beyblade X, please dive head first into Beyblade X! It truly is a great hobby that is fun for adults (parents or not) and kids, they've nailed it.

Great video with a hit of nostalgia! Subbed

For burst, stamina is pretty boring cuz there’s only two drivers really worth using without clauses, however it is far from an overwhelming type. A skilled attack user can easily beat out the stamina types

Y’know you say that you get predictable with these emotional endings, but personally I feel it’s what I love about these videos, and keep me coming back

The biggest example of the concept that you’re talking about towards the end is the same as parents telling their high schooler kids to remember and enjoy their time while they’re still there. I don’t think many understood that until adulthood settled in, and eventually they’ll pass on those words, too.

Dude! You absolutely sold me on Beyblade again! I remember having a couple beys when I was like 12, there were tournaments and stuff, but I kind of got bored. And now of all times, when I’m almost 24, I have this sudden urge for this stuff to be popular again here, but it’s not, with only a small local community, which is pretty toxic(

Ratchets dictate burst resistance, as well as height. The bumps on a ratchet can be hit by other beys, so the shape can influence how easy it is for an opposing blade to catch and push. 1, 3, and 9 sided ratchets are really round, 5 and 7 sided ratchets are thick and bulky, and 2 and 4 sided ratchets are really square. The more square it is, the easier it is to be pushed, where rounder ratchets are easier to deflect enemy blades. The height dictates how tall your bey is. A tall bey gainst a lower bey, you might be able to avoid ratchet contact (which can lead to bursting), or it can expose the ratchet for contact. There are 3 heights currently; 60, 70, and 80. If you're an attack or balance type, it's always safe to run a short height ratchet. As for defense and stamina, I don't really know too much to define that meta.

Beyblade X is a tribute to every Beyblade series. It has the bitbeast style design of the OG, the steel design of the Metal series and the Burst concept of the burst series.

7:40 WIZARD ARROW REP LETS GO!!! My favourite bey before hells hammer released lol

3:42 Why was that so bloody smooth tho 🔥🔥

Hasbro's biggest achievement was to release stuff with no actual purpose and let content creators use make believe arguments to get viewers to buy "THE BEST X" or "THE MOST POWERFUL Y"

Bro the 18:50ish to 21:20ish mark was so well said you literally had me almost tearing up. Unbelievable video, very well done!

I’ve been a huge beyblade fan for a good chunk of my life, from the plastic gen era all the way to the metal fight era, though when the burst era arrived that’s sort of where I lost interest, mainly cause the beys didn’t look that appealing to me like they once did, so when It was finally over and X began to be going through, my interest suddenly began to grow again, and before I knew it, in the past two months I’ve collected over 22 X beys, as well as some old metal fight beys, so yeah my Beyblade obsession has definitely kicked back in, and welcoming it with open arms, LET IT RIP !!!

You know it's bad when beyblade battles irl are more interesting than the anime it's from

Great video! It's awesome to see! A few things I'd like to say: Ratchets are actually pretty important. You wanna think of it as the micro adjustment part, a small bit of shape/weight/height optimization that *really* makes a bey tick. Usually small and round is good, but what nuc didn't mention is that the super round 9 Ratchet has probably the worst stamina of the meta ratchets, it's *only* for burst resistancez but still very good cuz its not that much worse. 3 is kinda the default Ratchet, and the fact all beys kinda have a triwing design due to the launcher prongs, it ends up balancing well enough to work in most situations. 5 is heavy and balanced, with good burst resistance and shape. 7 is the heaviest but has an uneven shape, but works with defense and attack combos well. Also limited points won't really fix the meta, it just bandaids it. Rod basically counters every other stationary combo in the game, so if you don't run it, you are pretty much throwing away a slot. If you do run it, you lose a point, and that puts you in the threshold to lose in one battle, not fun, nor is fixing the issue. You get more effective chances to take out rod, but that doesn't make the game balanced, just more inconsistent. And if you are running a limited part in general, you just cripple yourself too much, and the fact that ball is on that list makes it very hard to even run another stamina type. I don't get the problem with a ban. They messed up, it happens, just ban the mess up and continue your day until it's balanced again. It's not like a fighting game where each bey has a unique moveset, its a stamina type, you launch it and it spins. We have plenty of other well balanced options right below rod that would make the meta way better. It's just kinda sad to see, but honestly, things are getting better, goon is fixing a lot as a defense type.

im not gonna lie, the end of this video really made me think and brought a tear to my eye. wonderful video.

You know, I didn't expect something to hit me that hard tonight. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I am so happy I subscribed to you like 1,5year ago. LOVE YOUR CONTENT. Hope Babyblade will support you!

6:24 burst burst resistance and and weight.

Wake me up when Bird actually wins a match for once 😅

Listen I loved burst gen, but you gotta admit near the end it just got boring. Like the only competitive combos were 80 gram stamina type left spin spin steal beys. So X being attack focused is such a good breather

Personally my favorite era is Metal Fight since it does not have a meta game, you can be defense, attack, balance or stamina type and be the strongest if your combo is well made. But still, I personally think I prefer Beyblade X over Burst since it offers you the most frenetic battles, which is what many look for when playing with your friends. I would only increase their stamina capabilities so that the battles can last longer. I mean in Beyblade X you can be a heavy defense type, get an Xtreme Dash and make an strong smash.

I now know why jettkuso posted a what is like to be a wizard review post on Tumblr

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO SEE MORE OF THE GOLDEN ERA OF BEYBLADE THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL VIDEO!

"boys of all ages and genders" LMAO

I recently got into Beyblade X as well, and have been lucky enough to have friends who are willing to play with me, and it’s truly been so much fun and brought me back to my childhood when I’d play with the Metal Fight beys. Absolutely amazing video as Always Jett :)

0:30 we still live

Ratchets help determine weight distribution and contact points. It also can determine how burstable a bey is. For instance 2-60 is a really easy to burst ratchet compared to something like 5-60. That being said, the alteration to the performance right now is very minuscule beyond just really small adjustments.

good sponsor from my fav beytuber

another thing about ratchets, the points affect weight distribution as well. The reason why some ratchets are better than others as well is the more blockier the points, the more your bey will burst

I got into every era apart from burst. I was about 11 when the first gen came out in the west. I was obsessed with it for a few years. Then in my 20s I tried out metal fusion. Now I'm into x and love it. I have stuff to learn about combos but that's part of the fun.

As a Beyblade GEN Oner, "How dare". As a GEN Oner for various other franchises "I respect the boldness"

the voice and comment at 10:04 had me laughing its so true. I remember watching another video of yours talking about how B-Daman in japan had a "gat" launcher and it never came over here because NO! TOO DANGEROUS

Look, I agree that beyblade x is great, but it can never compete with the memory’s of battling with beyblade burst in my lunch box with friends in the cafeteria

I been playing with the Los Angeles Beyblade community for way too long and played in pretty much every format available, and I can easily say that Beyblade X is the best, like by a long shot, whoever thought of putting gears on the stadium as a main part of the gameplay is a genius

Watching the vid, enjoying it then about 19 minutes in bro hits the deepest, most insightful monologue about living in the now and enjoying yourself in a video about spinning tops That's what Blader spirit is all about

I loved the beyblade part of this video, but damn that speech at the end hit different 😂 You really made me think about this past year huh

These things hit each other pretty hard! I had a ratchet break after only the bey’s 4th or 5th use. It burst finished and when I was putting it back together noticed the screws that are in the ratchet were stripped out of the plastic. Making that ratchet useless ):

The plastic and metal generations are not boring at all if you really know how to play, there are very concrete and effective strategies and throwing techniques and it is not true that beyblades of attack always lose, on the contrary, it depends a lot on the skill and strategy of the player. It's fine to promote the new generation but you shouldn't say that it's better than the old ones, especially if you don't know them, also because beyblade x has totally changed the game compared to how it was before.

This is no lie; I'm a 36-year-old man, and I just got into Beyblade X for the first time. I love this game!

Beyblade X is so cool and fun, the high speed battles are a delight to watch and I just hope that it keeps on growing! Hopefully Takara Tommy will get defense Beyblades right and a couple of more fun gimmicks I hope the anime starts picking up because it's the worst part of this generation right now 🙏🏻

I didn't know Hasbro had not already brought Beyblade X to the west but that they did it without nerfing the beys, now I'm looking to get one.

I remember when I first got into beyblade during the metal fight era and I collect them, and then I got back into it again during the burst era which is pretty cool and I also collected them as well, now I'm considering collecting X beys to try em out, overall 10/10 on the video jettkuso 👍

They should make a new anime where the protagonist is a 30 year old lawn mower who has spent his whole life training for Beyblade without realizing it

Welcome to the world of Beyblade JettKuso, love to see a Bakugan youtuber getting into the new Beyblade X

Part 3 of this video is incredibly profound. You're right; I'm gonna go spend another £100 on Beyblades
