Why I Became A Sweaty Adult Beyblade X Player 

“This is an adult only Beyblade video, fuck them kids” Absolute gold 😂

beyblade x is pretty much the perfect gen for adults who completely missed the second generation

"You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing" - Emgo316

Considering the initial trailer for beyblade x has primarily adults in it, i feel we are fine as beyblade x players

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.

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! 🎉

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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”

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

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!

Beyblade is a fun competitive physics experiment for ppl of all ages for sure.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

nah brother, ain't doing my home work.

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.

im glad this video is popping off, beyblade x deserves all the attention its getting.

as an adult who grew up with gen 2 Beyblade x looks like it could bring Beyblade back into mainstream popularity because in my opinion kids weren't as exited or into Beyblade burst as we were into metal fight

Fuck this is accurate. Mum gave all me metal fight’s to a kid across the road…. Fuck.

I've learned more about competitive beyblade in this one video, im so sold on this

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.

do what you want, as long as you're having fun, and not hurting anyone or yourself, fuck it. be you

Beyblade X is so good that I started content creating for it haha

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

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!

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.

Bring back the Era of Schoolyard Bayblade money matches 😭

Awesome video! This motivated me to try and start my own group of bladers in my area.

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.

Awesome video definitely convinced me and can't wait for the original styles to make a return!

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.

Oh man this has me super excited! I love to see them bringing back proper beyblades.

Keel shark is a demon within spinning top form

Just what I needed , I looked it up and have a tournament near my house , going there this Sunday! Wish me luck !

Great video! Its so cool to see how much people are enjoying Beyblade X, definitely the best gen so far

I never thought I would want to get into beyblade again 20 years later. But here we are.

This video helped me rekindle my love for beyblades. Thank you ❤

I completely agree. This gen is the perfect recipe for us that played with the first gen of beyblade to pick beyblade back up

This is the kind of content we need more of on YT

Thanks for this video, I didn't know about Beyblade X until watching 🤯

Great video 😊

No joke, got back into beyblade because of this video, thank you

I'm now sold on beyblade. i loved them as a kid, and i'm gonna get the starter set and bring it to the annual cabin tour with the boys

Dayym bro after 20yrs the bays are back

My local anime arcade has a group of 20+ beybalde players that jave tournaments every momth, I can't wait to join in!

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 😀

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! 😊

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

beyboomer here, my friends, brother and me only really played during the og times but it was a blast. we had one of these funny official blue plastic arena that got utterly destroyed within a few rounds just by the force of the beys. and god forbid one launched out of the arena and hit you anywhere, these things hurt. oh and on topic of my favorite bey, i still own my Driger and Driger-G and i'd never part ways with them (also the Metallic Blue Dranzer-F from my brother as a keepsake)

I just finished writing a script for my next video my return to beyblade xD. Thanks for the inspiration

I used to go to beyblade competitions when I was younger, won a few official medals. I had a friend go to the US for the world championships. This new gen of beyblade looks fun

my wife and have been hosting WBO x tournaments for a few months now and we're doing our first one in the hasbro x stadium this week!

really great video, you've earned my sub and i'm definitely going to take a look at your other videos after this :)

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!

I'll be off to Japan soon for work, so I hope I can find a couple of those and build some beys :0

AMAZING CONTENT BRO! i shared this video in all the beyblade x chats im in 🔥🔥

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...

Hey I already commented but wanted to give you an update since you inspired all of this: I am now the proud owner of some Beys and an arena and unpacked it today with my father (56). We both didn't ever do this before but had the best hour together since probably 15+ years. It IS as much fun as I hoped and it was truly amazing that my dad was the first to start switching around parts and now he wants to have Beys himself and build a launcher with a cordless screwdriver or a flex tool or something crazy xD

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.

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

makin' me wanna buy that green bucket with every word

this brings me back when i used to play with my brother alot. good simple techless times

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.

As a 23 year old who fell HEAVY into the Beyblade hobby in middle school and fell out of it when Burst started, I’m sold. I’m actually really excited to get back into it you really did sell me on the complexity. Burn Fireblaze/Phoenix was my main in the Metal Saga days so it looks like I already know what my first X Bey will be (shame about the paint chipping tho)

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

I like when Beyblades escape the pockets it makes the battles more unpredictable and fun

I bought Horn Rhino and it's probably my favorite Hasbro purchase so far! It's little and cute, a beautiful purple color, and the recoil is insane, so it's always exciting to send it into battle!

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

My childhood Beyblade combo was so unbeatable, it got banned. It was a mix of my first one, a turtle one with a heavy metal hexagonal disk, and that weird Dragoon model that almost looks like a pogo stick. If it retained stabilty (which it did 90%of the time), it would just stand there, begging to jam up any other beyblade while the metal disk gyroscopically assisted in keeping it inertia when getting impacted by the opponents Beyblade. Man, how cheap are these again?

Great video

Love your attitude bro

Great video!!

Welcome back, king. I grew up on MFB, skipped Burst, and returned. We always return.

Im only 16, but Metal Fusion was always my favourite when I was younger, the other kids wouldn't let me. They all played Burst and they feared my Meteo L Drago to the point where they shunned me. Beyblade X is so good as it feels like a revival of my favourite generation. I'm having the most fun I have had beyblading in such a long time.

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.

Could not have said it better man. You perfectly represented a voice for our people. A child at heart. Keep up the content

this video is gonna make me get back into beyblades

This really makes me want to get into it again. I feel sad dropping the first Gen considering it was subjectively the most unique and skipping over all the rest, but the current x Gen looks pretty fun too.

You're literally never too old to let it rip!! Never let anyone tell you otherwise

Thanks for featuring some of our local (Singapore) beyblade scene 🎉

The first segment really hits hard to me tbh

That same level of fun and experimentation with combinations and spinning top physics, but now with an adult mind and pockets. Im glad they didnt die out over the years.

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!

ITS TIME TO RETURN AFTER 20 YEARS BABY

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.

As a kid, I only got to enjoy the 1st generation in America with my cousin and neighbor. I was recently in the store and saw the newest Beyblade line, and I wondered if it was still fun. I love the algorithm for bringing me to your video. My inner child needed this.

great video🔥🔥🔥 i might be the oldest one here, turning 40 soon😭 my son got me into beyblade now i mod launchers to the max and film power battles😂 love it!!
