Everybody was so busy making fun of Brock's Jelly Donuts and the 4Kids One Piece to notice how insane Beyblade's English dub was.

Beyblade was a lot of people's first Sports anime, and they don't even realize it.
Right haha!!!
That and crush gear turbo
I mean you're not wrong😂
True
Brother love lol
Beyblade, Metabots, Digimon, Pokemon and Zoids were the glory days for me. 😢❤
You spittin facts
Medabots was sick. Medabee was from the hood
Zoids was the shit and G Gundam mobile fighter all on toonami, and the original ruronin kenshin was way better than that shot they have on hulu or crunchyroll
You named all the best shows on Saturday morning
Something special
Beyblade, digimon, dragonball, yugioh, pokemon etc..we were absolutely spoiled as kids with these fantastic animated shows.
So spoiled ❤
Don't forget some others like Detective Conan, shin chan, Inuyasha and more
The way I was locked in when these shows were on was crazy 😭
Inuyasha too
Toonami in the early 2000s really pumped out the best shows, Saturday morning cartoons too
YESSS FINALLY SOME LOVE FOR THE OG SERIES!!! BLADEBREAKERS FOR LIFE! LET IT RIIIIIIIIP
Let it rip dude
That soundtrack slaps to this day
Agreed.
I grew up on the OG Beyblade trilogy. It's cool to see it get some more love.
Same
Same here. :)
G-revolution goes hard
@@solo-bod Yeah it did go hard. It was nice to see the White Tiger team and the "BBA All-Starz" again.
Duuuuude the first toys were brutal.
I liked them😂
The direction to make the Dub of Beyblade a Sport is ahead of it's time. Now with Beyblade X treated as a sport and been proven successful in Japan!
Meanwhile i used it as a flying spinning blade
Those things had metall parts
The reason why TT want beyblade become a "sports" is because TT try to copy of the success of tamiya mini4wd
@@ItsJustKayaI had one who was so fuckin heavy it made sparks whenever it hit metal. That shit almost took off my dad’s fingernail once.
The original Beyblade anime trilogy with Tyson and company was the best! Keep ‘em coming! Would love to see videos on V-Force and G-Revolution too.
G-Revolution was really good
Definitely. Kai was my favourite character in all of media for 20 years. Still is because hes such a deep and well written character.
Yesss!!!
Happily agree.
Beyblade is honestly WAY better than it had any business being XD The story is pretty solid, the voice acting in the dub is hilarious and awesome, and it's just honestly fun to watch.
The funniest moment in the dub is during the China arc between Tyson and Kevin:
Kevin:"You totally look like the weakest link! Weakest link, weakest link!"
Tyson: "Yeah!?" Well you look like the MISSING LINK!"
Kevin did look like a primate.
In the Philippines, it's a classic anime. When it was shown back then, all...I mean all the kids during that time play beyblade.
Indeed. We even had tournaments after school! What a time to be alive and a young child. 😊
The absolute insanity of this show is legendary when kids have the four gods as super powered spinning tops.
Also, "Underdog" just slapped.
I can't believe I never realized BeyBlade was a sports anime before xD.
Boy the memories I have playing BeyBlade as a kid
"That moment you realise..."
The English dub theme song absolutely rocks.
More Beyblade videos please.
Let's keep this spinning.
It’s iconic
Picking up speed, running out of time,
Going head to head, it's a way of life.
You gotta fall down, meet ground, to get back up again.
The original intro lives in my mind rent free
Funny you made this video, my childhood friend recommended I watch this again at the start of the year. I too am a millennial so was about 10 years old when this first aired, and the first thing I realised when I watched this again was how much of a banger the soundtrack is. Like, you can only make so many songs about spinning tops and they absolutely crushed it with each song. I watched the whole of the original season and I loved every episode. So good to see you acknowledge it.
The soundtrack is SO good, I wanted to incorporate it into the video but most of the songs are copyright protected which is rare for a kids show from 20 years ago. But you know what? Good for them get that bag
I remember when Beyblade became popular when I was in elementary school, there was some sort of weird bowl shaped piece of playground equipment that just so happened to work as a natural bey stadium. All the kids would gather round during recess and have massive 5+ player brawls.
Glad someone else really liked Max’s voice. Something about it was just really genuine, from what I remember and it always stood out to me as a kid. All four kids had enjoyable voices. Lost my mind as a kid when I watched Mean Girls and heard that one guy who talks about buttering Lindsey Lohan’s muffin, and I immediately went “THAT’S RAY!!”
It was Kai for me. He was a little bit older so his voice was deeper. I love Kai personally.
Millennials definitely grew up on the OG 3 seasons 😂 I could care less about the Beyblade series after those 3 seasons lol
Facts
I said this when it came out. Why do it. The original wrapped up perfectly. Didnt need new characters and a new gimmick.
Facts all these kids say ginka is the goat. They don’t know about our boy Tyson
Grew up with the original 3 seasons.
Though I like the Beyblade designs of MFB because they remind me of HMS.
Story wise I just couldn't get into the series. Though the action scenes are great though.
PART 2! Ray! Mariah! The White Tigers! Go go go, see ya there! czcams.com/video/V6xJwAnZL_g/video.htmlsi=2u_4G21qwH1n4brR
My favourite sports anime, to this day me and my friends still make reference to Beyblade, such a classic series!
The music was extremely good.
The level of epicness(or energy) in the tournament battles was contagious.
The way it appeals to children (buy a spinning top from your nearest Toys R Us on the weekend and come in to school the Monday after and flex your new toy to your classmates) was legendary.
The ending arc of the original series was actually well good because it didn’t deal with death like Yugioh did but it did introduce how serious life could get(when Ray was hospitalised).
It was also a great introduction to anime in general(for me at least)and inspired many to start drawing which motivates creativity.
I can still remember the songs Figthing Spirit (OP), which is a banger and Cheer Song (ED) after all these years. In Malaysia, we tend to keep the original Japanese OP and ED in our dub. This anime is one of the best shonen I watched when I was a kid.
I just posted part 4, the EUROPE ARC REVIEW :)
PART 2 THE ASIA TOURNAMENT: czcams.com/video/V6xJwAnZL_g/video.htmlsi=HEXo_JNd0dBsrunx
PART 3 THE AMERICA TOURNAMENT czcams.com/video/VoOs1N-4uf0/video.html
PART 4 THE EUROPE JOURNEY czcams.com/video/Ug_KSfP9Zq4/video.html
The 5 main Beyblade monsters: Draciel, Dragoon, Dranzer, Driger, and Strata Dragoon are based on the Four Symbols from Chinese mythology, just like Four Holy Beasts (its really five b/c Huanglongmon) from Digimon
Strata Dragoon is the fifth main Bit Beast introduced in the tie-in movie between seasons 2 & 3
PLEASE cover everything. I recently saw beyblade going viral on tiktok and have been binging the whole series as of late! The story writing for a kid’s tv show went on to age pretty well! 🔥
As a kid who vaguely remembered the first beyblade series it was a miracle that they added all of it onto yt for free. I grew up watching metal fusion and burst but the OG series has the greatest season in g revolution 😎👍🔥
Beyblade was a masterpiece
One of my favourite Digimon creators dropped a OG Beyblade Video?! Bey Fans, we're eating 😭🙌
This is probably my favourite Beyblade review on youtube,amazing work! Subbed
Yoooo thanks so much!!!
You're welcome, hopefully we get to see the rest of the review for the series or something in the same vein! G-revolution was peak Beyblade imo@@thedigiknow
The First 3 seasons of BB was and will be forever awesome...wish they did a season 4
Bless you for explaining its on youtube! I checked all the major streaming services like a week ago and couldnt find the OG series and was devastated 😭 my goofy ass didnt think to just search it on here
this is how i always remember beyblade's seasons after i fully watched it a couple of years ago while feeling nostalgic about it
season one was an amazing story with great characters who developped throughout the series
season two was visually pleasing to watch with a good story but noting comparable to season 1 and 3
and then season 3 felt like the best of both worlds where it was visually pleasing to watch but it also had a really good plot again
there are just some of those beyblade moments that live rent free in my mind
Love the Beyblade revisit. Memories of blading for years with friends, good times
Wow, this video totallty took me back to my childhood XD Legit I had zero idea about all the dubbed only characters, but I love it so much XD
Haha yeah early into this rewatch I had a sneaking suspicion dizzi was an English dub creation, looked it up and sure enough 😂
Never thought of Beyblade as a sports anime but now that you say it, I can see it lol
That shows intro was a banger. Time to listen to it again.
Me and my friends were *obsessed* with the first series back in the day.
The Beyblade resurgence has been bringing a tear to my eyes. I LOVE to see it! I rewatch Beyblade OG every year and have been rewatching Metal Fusion series again.
The OSTs for OG Beyblade (Dub) is one of those things that just DONT FREAKING MISS!!!!!!!!!!! Underdog stays rent free in my head
Bakuten shoot was very good I like how each team member got their focus in certain countries like ray in China and max in usa
This Beyblade > New Beyblade
agreed The Beyblade shows after the original trilogy sucked.
I enjoy both a lot tbh but I just started "This beyblade" last month
Not gonna lie. I grew up with the OG but all the series after felt either rushed in finding voice acting people or just like cash cow's.
@@AnonymousC2218there probaly not better then this but they didn’t suck
This was my first anime, before I got into Pokemon and YuGiOh I was into Beyblade, my brother and I would get up at 630 every Saturday to watch it. We got up earlier to watch this show than we did to get ready for school.
Ok the America arc was legit LEGIT. THIS MAN THREW A FOOTBALL AND LAUNCHED HIS BEY? like what???? I remember the baseball man too. I think that was my favorite arc by far.
My bad he kicked the football if I remember correctly*
The Beyblade Metal Saga has monsters based on the 88 constellations and Greek mythology, and the main Beyblade in that is based on Pegasus
cool
This is amazing! Season 1 of Beyblade was the best! Nothing can beat the original show! I love it so much, man! Thanks for covering it, bro! You're doing great! Keep it up!
Oh my God. Soooo 2000s nostalgia. I grew up with this show
Bruh OG Beyblade was the goat of childhood anime!
I made a amv of all the main characters!
This anime, along with Yugioh, Digimon and Pokemon, was such an integral part of my childhood!
4:38 LMFAO 🤣
Loved the OG Beyblade as a kid going into my early teens
Ah, I remember back in primary school, OG Beyblade was a hit.
Kids often brought their own and showed off during class intervals when our teacher had to step out for a while. We even hid in one corner after school just to play it.
do keep going, I rewatched this a few years back, still enjoyable from start to finish imo
This was my childhood. I was a toddler when i watch this. And my cousin used to own a beyblade toy when this show aired on my country.
So what your telling me is i need to rewatch this show again
The og beyblade brings back memories....damn i feel old
Me too i remember watching it as a Little Child in 2000 or 2001 and now with 32 Years Old i Love Re watching it from time to time for Nostalgia.
One thing I really liked that wasn't mentioned was how Tyson beat that first bully by training for a day like the kendo training he hated. Extended his rip cord, got a running start, jumped into it, still had to aim, all to get that 4 times velocity on launch he needed.
I'm glad the OG series is getting some coverage. I'm shocked to hear that Dizzi was dub exclusive. No wonder she stopped talking in G-revolution. I missed her snarky comments.
Anyway, I'd love to see more on this series. I'd really like to see it get as popular as the Metal saga
This video was great! Please do more, I'm along for the ride.
Thanks a lot! It was fun to revisit and I want to do more
I tried to watch some the later seasons of beyblade, they didn’t do anything for me, but there’s something special about the first season or version or whatever with Tyson and Kai.
Medabots was another show from that era that cooked super hard that no one talks about now.
Do you mean the 1st season or all 3 seasons of the original series?
@@ashlirabid9614 probably the latter
I would love to see more of this content! It's been years since i last watched Beyblade OG and I remember it fondly!
Makes for an excellent audio companion on long road trips, thanks to all the extra commentary. I’d love to gush with y’all about this series, compare the seasons (V Force is my favorite, being extra mystical), and eventually love on the G Revolution reunions from s1 characters. Fingers crossed 🤞 for more.
Man this was such a throwback, I had no idea this series was considered to be a sports anime watching it n my pre-teens at the time. Now it makes sense. Nevr owned any of the toys myself but loved the anime. Please do more.
The plot of Kai betraying the Bladebreakers and then the emotional return to the ending with Tala is surprisingly
deep for a kids anime
8:00
Tyson vs Kane Round 2 in V Force: Allow me to introduce myself (for three episodes straight)
I can't wait
The funniest thing is AJ Topper and Brad Best as a kid never noticed you actually never see them haha
That theme song! Still go back occasionally to listen to it and get hyped up.
Great recap on an awesome series. Look forward to the next arc.
Madhouse did a great job in this season
And Takehito Koyasu was crazy in this season as well
Dude, I'd definitely be up for seeing more beyblade content! Great vid
Thank u legend!
Yeah, this series is crazy as hell, and I love it. This series knows what it is, and they are not changing it.
The soundtrack is fire! The dialog at times is just brilliant.
The O.G. Beyblade Was insanity and I loved it…. Edit had no idea it had made up characters just for show. Ima
Go rewatch
You making me aware this whole thing exists on CZcams is the best Tuesday ever.
I'm so glad! Hope you enjoy revisiting it like I did
9:56 Seasons 2-3 in the OG Japanese version contain death and blood
no one had more fun on the first season of beyblades then the person who edited the music of the intro so perfectly
the saner part comes to mind as so go dam funny
Instant subscribe. I really like your content. Beyblades holds a special place in my heart and I can't help but rewatch it every 5 years or so (I'm in my early 30s now).
Just watched the original japanese with my partner who grew up with this but didn't see all of it.
We were not prepared for how insane and engaging it was.
4:34 Fine by me, I don't want to look at him. Lmao.
Huh... never thought about it but yeah... All the action with no actual violence. Beyblade really was the best crossing of Sports Anime and Shonen Battle Anime XD
Totally! Appeasing nervous moms everywhere haha
Lukas Rossi, the original singer of the 2000 Beyblade iconic theme song "Let's Beyblade!", will be doing a live performance of the song on 21st March 2024 at 9PM EST to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Beyblade. Event details can be found on our channel description
@thedigiknow Thank you for the pin
Hell yeah - keep up the arc breakdowns. Had a similar experience and discovered the original eps on youtube, have been working my way through as well.
Thanks for the vid!
Fun Fact! The voice of Kenny is now the webcomic artist behind Haus of Decline
Yeah!! I actually caught that part of your Akira Toriyama tribute, where you mentioned the 'Goku is the universal language' strip! Thanks for watching & commenting! :)
Bayblade Metabots Zoids my childhood ❤
Just remembering that time they defeated a werewolf and vampire by putting a silver dollar on their beyblade, or that canonically Moses parted the Red Sea with a Beyblade in that universe
When I rewatched it the pace was the thing that stood out to me as well. I didn't even remember they went around the world and fought monsters. Crazy show.
Beyblade was the best ❤️ I still remember watching it before going to school… I always was hyped up about it. I remember the last season being little dark. I cried after it ended 😭
Beyblade is one of those anime that has a phenomenal soundtrack on both Sub and Dub - Dub has Rock 'n Roll, while Sub has entire moving orchestral pieces.
I'd love for you to review the rest of the arcs!
One of the things I found funny is how the world revolves around beyblaying like how and why 😅
Max having a beystadium in the basement “when we moved in” is sooooo funny to me
more beyblade content please. the og beyblade trilogy was one of my favourite series growing up
I remember having the beyblade book as a kid that had trivia questions and puzzles and stuff. One of them was literally name the bit beast trapped inside Chief’s computer. I was shocked to learn years later that was a dub exclusive character
The Andrew character does this bizarre exclamation at 18:07 in the first episode. It has lived rent free in my head for twenty years.
I literally just realised that the name blade breakers is probably in reference to Carlos’ blade getting shattered (imagine him watching the BBA on tv and every time he has to go through this sort of mini breakdown because he not only sees Kai but just because of the team name 😂
haha omg
"We're the Carlos Crushers!"
poor kid
Dude would love to see more Beyblade content. I got into Digimon again probably a year ago and found your channel. Love the vibe of the videos man. Keep it up! 😄
It's funny you put this video out cuz I also just found out the whole series was on CZcams and started watching it. I never saw it as a kid so it's wild experiencing it for the first time.
haha nice -- maybe beyblade renaissance is just in all of our subconscious
Coverage on the OG Beyblade! Top tier!
This will always be my favorite series of Beyblade. I love the characters, the arcs, and music. English Dub did great. I didn't know about the announcers being Dub thing but that make sense since we never saw them. Can't wait for the next arc video.
You have no idea how happy we were when the dub OST got an official release aomewhat recently. Until then we'd had to rely on fanmade rips of certain songs, most notably 'Hang On' from GRev.
I swear the universe brings me this after binging the opening for the past few weeks. Good times still live strong.
Man I had this Beyblade video game that was on the TV and you got a little Ripcord handle for the controller, honestly some of my best early memories.
I re-watched this during the pandemic with friends and had a blast, we couldn't stop laughing when the Dark Bladers show up because of how ridiculous their story was
I'm SO excited for that part
So in Poland at tv station "Polasat" Pokemon Johto just enend and the teazer went like "pokemon journey is ended for now, but there is going to be new beast show beyblade in next Sunday!" i was so hyped. I think your connection with digimon are right :)
Beyblade, Shaymin King and Dragonball Z was my childhood and saving grace from highschool days
Beyblade isn't just a game, it's a way of life
very interested! would love to see you cover the whole series ngl! fyi beyblade does have a official day (3/21) maybe your next beyblade video comes out then😂
Haha that's awesome, I didn't know about 3/21
