-----------------
After years of failure, is there any hope for Beyblade Burst from Hasbro? This video was made for the pure reason that years of getting Burst from Hasbro their greed has shown. Along with the lack of respect to the community has been abundant. Don't give me any garbage of "it's meant for kids" enough is enough for excuses.
Don't care anymore not afraid to speak my mind on this, I prefer this than to ever sellout. - Zábava

oh nice
This reminds me of Honkai vs Genshin, genshin makes more money, but honkai is the favorite child. An example of this was their anniversary where you only got chicken. Meanwhile honkai's anniversary included free pulls and special events to keep the playerbase satisfied. Not just that, honkai also gives new players a chance to progress thru the game fast because they love the newbies. Dont even get me started on the genshin twitter fanbase, honkai is just chilling watching all of it unfold lmao.
To think people almost boycotted Hasbro for Spryzen Requiem didnt have a blue chip (it still was metal lol), they really didnt see what was coming
I got that beyblade but there was something wrong because it was stuck in left spin, it wouldn't click into right spin.
@@Lego_Yoda420 Oh trust me my legend for some reason would burst on contact when in left.
@@LostxArmy mine doesn’t even launch
@@LostxArmy i think legend is very bad when in left spin, at least against other left spinning beys from what i’ve seen
hasbro milking the shit out of us lmao
When I was a kid during the plastic gen era, i didn’t know that takara and hasbro made different products. I just assumed they all came from the same place. As an adult recollecting, it’s clear the same quality assurance that went into the plastic gen and metal gen meeting the standards of Takara’s releases are long gone. Even 20 years ago, Sono Kong was considered the “lesser version” of plastic beyblades. But even they were quality and actually mirrored the gimmicks and designs of the real thing.
This just makes me sad.
Figured, I only grew with MFB and they were 1:1 sometimes better than TT in terms of what they released, Burst is a different story which sucks.
You will be surprised when i tell you that only the Hasbro's quality of build was on par with TT, the assembly between parts was bad for Hasbro. The Engine gears would break down after certain use, and the attack ring would fit loose on spin gear after some time. Hasbro plastic gen were the actual pre-curser to burst 😂. The worst part is they screwed up on certain G-Revolution releases like Zeus, Gigars, Metal Driger by giving them engine gear even though they had special gimmicks.
@@zankye Id say hasbro to tt burst is 1:4 to 1:6 quality scale, maybe even 1:8 on occasion
sameee THE REALIZATION OF EVERYTHING. it was so crazy reading and watching videos about it. thats why i love this video.
Yeah Hasbro changed some things on late gen Takara beys too but even then their beys weren't hollowed out and even the molds in their cases were better in terms of durability, case in point Driger V2's support parts, or the Dragoon S attack ring. But once 4D came out they just shit the bed and this is just god awful
Get your popcorn buddies
It's time
Yes
Yes king.
Gladly
It’s time to duel
@@oofblox70443 2 1! LET IT RIP!
remember when the only "downside" was the god chip was fused?
True. Too true.
Yeah I didn't really like that?
and people still figured how to take them off and able to place it on again..
@@fockewulffw1908 yeah you just unscrew the beyblade
Yeah
Hasbro has no excuses for not giving the beys the gimmicks. They did the gimmicks for single layer to evolution. Why not give the gimmicks to turbo and up? I really hope, if I have any left, that QuadDrive will be better than turbo rise and surge. If not, I will completely stop collecting mainline beys and only collect pro series if they’re even worth buying. Hasbro needs to fix this. If they don’t, they’ll be in big trouble and no one will buy they’re beys.
What else is new they don't care they just release the Beyblades and don't even bother to look at the gimmicks. Geist Fafnir didn't even have rubber who thought that was a good idea
@@hpmuiowjaynold9224 Hasbro thought that not putting rubber on fafnir was a good idea.
Yep
No one? HEH all my beys are Hasbro!
@@flashyschlongus4798 it save money for sure..
i watched the entire 51 minutes no joke, and the only thing i can say is that zankye is speaking another language, and that language is called facts
Yeah after switchstrike the beyblades just got worse.Even though some beys from each line were good it was like 1 from all others.
So facts
Honestly I liked Hasbro bc I didn't know TT existed when I was younger. Now that I know TT does exist I haven't bought a Hasbro since.
SAME!!!
I feel like that was everyone cuz tt and hasbro Imo were on par during the metal fight saga
Same
Me too I only get Hasbro if I wanna see what beyblades from a new series with Hasbro are like such as weight "gimmicks",etc
Same bro same
This man made a whole law and order documentary about the rise and fall of Hasbro Beyblade’s. This man is an absolute legend
My genesis valtryek tip gets stuck even after it's done spinning
Hasbro fans: Can you actually make anime/manga accurate products
Hasbro: anime accuracy? never heard of it
More like Hasbro: hmm we got a monopoly on the western market for beyblade, less effort, more PROFIT
Magma Ifritor: well hello there.
@@stitchy408 burst resistance: well hello there
Zankye is speaking straight facts. Hasbro has a bad connection with us Bey fans. Hasbro doesn’t listen to us. The Beyblade burst products are horrendous. They nerf/remove gimmicks from the Beyblades.
I'm going to be completely honest I stop playing with beyblade for a mix of reasons but Hasbro not making accurate beys was definitely one of them
same
Alternate Title: roasting Hasbro until the CEO starts crying.
To be honest, Hasbro is just empty talk, it's such a big company but it gives such a poor output.
TT is also a big company and TT always gives their 100%in all the toys they make such as beyblade and bottle man
Same with the transformers line
Another big problem I feel with Hasbro that isn’t mentioned in the video is how these products in the dub are kinda falsely advertised. You’ll see the TT gimmicks in the anime and then when you get the actual Hasbro version it’s missing the gimmick shown in the anime. Good example would be how in Turbo Crash Roktavor’s stamina wings were shown in action while Roktavor R4 in reality had the wings fused to the layer. Sometimes they’ll even make some dumb change to the script to mask the changes like in Surge calling World Spriggan’s Free spin mode on the 2B chassis it’s “Free Spinning Bits and Pieces”. They’ll make awkward cuts sometimes to even avoid showing stuff like GT layer weights but even this isn’t consistent as even though they think they are smart hiding the TT system gimmicks, they don’t edit out the Bey’s actual individual gimmicks half the time. Kids when they see and hear mentions of gimmicks of their favorite Beys in the anime might wanna go out and buy it and then be disappointed when the thing that made them so cool and unique and was basically advertised to them in the show itself isn’t even there. Kids are smarter than these companies think and some of them will notice that they have been bamboozled by Hasbro
facts
That is so true man…
I was wondering just how the English localization of the anime handled the whole "Hasbro Beys different from Takara Tomy Beys" thing.
Turns out they just went "Yes."
god i didnt realize this vid was so long but its zankye im sure i"ll be entertained
Same
Just now, my Pro series command dragon’s metal wing broke off. THE ENTIRE WING… just gone. You we’re definitely right about pro series being prone to breakage. Guys, I warn you, be careful with pro series bets. My command dragon is an example of what can happen.
mad respect to the honesty on display here. zankye has always defended the good, and critiqued the bad, and that level of integrity is super appreciated. the quality of some of these later releases has been rather poor, and while i have hope that quad will be better (already seeing plenty of positivity like we saw at the start of surge) its good to get these issues addressed and analyzed. i hate that he's blacklisted for literally doing his job tho.
I personally just think that hasbro has so many products outside of beyblade that they have to pick which franchises and product lines to REALLY pour their energy into. Therefore, they cherrypick the product lines they want to put actual effort in based on how well they sell. Nerf and transformers (ngl I just picked that at random lol), for example, are the "favorite children" so to speak because they are one of Hasbro's most iconic and well loved products so they are of course willing to put in the hard work to make sure that as many of them are up to par as possible. All in all, I guess this is a long winded way of saying Hasbro's just picking favorites when it comes to its product lines and...I wouldn't say beyblade is one of those favorites😐
But what do I know, that's just my two cents in particular (and also a bit of a wild guess lol).
LIkely true I've heard NERF is treated the same I suppose if it's not Marvel Legends or Transformers that prints money the rest don't matter.
As for their fans...I don't know...one part of me thinks it's cultural problem since we don't really have any cultural pastimes going too far back given how relatively young our country is for its player base to get truly attached to this like Japan does but...going by that logic, some of the best ranked bladers in the world that can be found on this continent are not very dedicated...another part of me thinks that this is because they are relatively unaware of Hasbro's history with beyblade but...they can't be THAT ignorant, right? The only viable option I can see is that this is a new generation of bladers that isn't being brought up with the same passion and isn't having any inspiration and/or important life lessons or character traits impressed upon them by playing it (at least that's how it was for me)...participating in competitions with beyblades, whether it be friendly matches with my friends and family or official tournaments, Beyblade taught me how to be a better loser, to swallow my pride, show humility and showed a way to channel my creativity. Hell, I make sense of certain aspects of life in terms of beyblade to an extent. It's just that...whenever a "fan" says "iT's JuSt A kIdS tOy" it ticks me off because:
1. That speaks volumes about how attached they are to the brand in general.
2. They have no idea how big of an impact a simple "kids toy" can have on a person's life.
If I'm gonna be honest, I don't expect this wave of beyblade fans to last long in the community. Just judging from how they act towards competitive bladers, this is nothing more than a phase for them and they have no respect for those who came before them. I, admittedly, am probably the same age as some of them, but I remember far back enough to when I was five playing beyblade to have fond memories and get somewhat attached to this game so when I talk about the meta-game, past and present, I (at least somewhat) know what I'm talking about.
WHEW WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, I JUST DERAILED AND WENT ON A WHOLEASS BOOMER RANT ABOUT TODAY'S BLADERS
Sorry if you had to read through this, I just needed to get this off my chest cuz it's been on my mind for a while lately...
Exactly there is no excuse Takara Tomy also sells many other products. I have litteraly message the "official beyblade channel" they dont even respond. Why is this happening? And they do have some people brainwashed like 100% hasbro fans. Back in the day in evolution I preferred hasbro why? because its the same product for cheaper not counting randoom boosters. I know hope that maybe some day they can make hasbro beys but keep the gimmicks and add metal to all their beyblades with good parts. Hasbro needs to change I'm even thinking that the FLAME BRANDS are doing a better job. Hasbro needs to get Takara a challenge or they will get broke! The 1st time it got me mad was when they released brave valtrek how can you turn a really good bey into complete trash? Not even the fake chasis they have or not even the authentic offensive ruber. This is a really serious subject I almost quit beyblade because of hasbro. But now I dont really mind paying the extra money I really think Hasbro needs to improve I was number a 1 beyblade fan.
@@zankye the funny thing about that, is that TF fans have had similar complaints about Hasbro for awhile now.
I just got back into Beyblades after starting with the very first plastic generation. I bought 6 Hasbro Beyblade Burst tops and a stadium with my stepson before really learning the differences. Still a lot of fun with the tops we have but going forward we are only ordering TT tops. I did order a pro series evo elite champion set since the stadium is similiar to the TT standard. Plus being able to ability to swap some parts with TT tops is nice. I wish I would have seen more videos like this before purchasing but i'm fine with it. I am excited to see what is coming this summer.
Hasbro cheaping out just hits even harder when you consider that it's not like "Hasbro started cutting corners after just two seasons of Burst." Nah, Hasbro didn't cut corners during the Metal Fight years, and they didn't cut corners during the plastic years. It's way worse than just a betrayal of Burst, it's a failure against the entirety of Beyblade.
I think back in the plastic Gen hasbro just imported stuff from TT instead of producing their own
Whoa. Hang on there. Check it:
1. Plastic Era. For Beyblade V-Force, nearly everything that could support it had a North or South Magne Core, even if the original Takara version didn't have it. Most of the V2 series didn't come out until much later, and even then, they nerfed Dranzer V2 (Customize Clutch Base gimmick no longer works). For G Revolution, almost EVERYTHING was an Engine Gear product, including things that weren't. As a result, if you wanted the Heavy Metal Core, or the correct Spin Gears for Gigars & Zeus, you had to import the Takara. Then, Heavy Metal System's adaptation as the Hard Metal System...the first few releases had weaker plastic, awful stickers with ugly, inaccurate font. They skipped Dragoon MS Ultimate Version, and then they canceled it after the release of Phantom Fox MS...didn't even bother with the remaining releases.
2. Metal Fight Era: Yeah, uhhh...Metal Fury was a huge case of doing their own thing compared to Metal Fight 4D. Sure, they attempted to make up for it by having the proper parts in the Hyperblades subline, but that was only for a few.
metal fight almost every bey was given some galaxy Pegasus spin track then a random performance tip
They did cut corners on some of the metal fight beys. Actually alot
After three seasons I agree with things such as z from turbo and some of the speed storm products such as fafnir so I'm glad you made this video
When your Fan base is literally buying the original versions from over seas and not your own product you should know there’s a problem.
Very true I would by Hasbro if they were better I don't want to explain this but I think the video does explain
They say
“Hasbro is more fun”
When you make every driver (since hasbro has their exclusive systems based around drivers) the same and completely overhaul what made the original driver more interesting and you make every single driver feel redundant it becomes so narrow and intuitive that it isn’t even fun. Being overly Simplistic is boring.
True as
God i remember back in second grade we use to play with metal series Beyblades at recess so Metal Fusion, Masters, Fury, etc , we had a rubber bridge that made the perfect battlegrounds. Honestly some of the best moments of my time in middle school, i still got a collection of them in my room. Imo Metal series will never be topped, it just sucks what's happening to Beyblade
the originals and Switchstrike were so good, the glory days (2016-2018)
I'm really disappointed at hasbro for taking this path.
zankye i was hyped for this video the moment i saw the thumbnail in the community tab, and i was not disappointed
My man woke up and choose logical, straight to the facts violence and I love it.
Extra props to making this video knowing full well it could result in Hasbro never sponsoring you and your channel ever again. You won't see other big BeyTubers criticize The Big Amercian Company to this extent so I must applaud you for the honesty.
A shame that some channels (cough cough) and people on the internet are already doing damage control by dumbing down genuine criticism and oversimplifying the Hasbro hate to "you don't want us to have fun." Can't believe there are mfs out there that will bend 360° backwards for a company that couldn't give two slingshots (pun completely intended) about their consumers and charge them astronomical prices for their lazy, and frankly, low quality products.
thanks for the support, we managed the all year getting the products earlier our way
its the painful truth
Truer words have never been spoken.
Bro I used to watch your videos everyday from 2011-2012 and after so many years I still remember you as my childhood favorite CZcamsr and I saw you on my recommended on CZcams
I love the smell of real facts in the morning.
I miss the days when Hasbro uses to put out decent Beyblades. Yeah, Takara Tomy was always the golden brand, and I preferred it over Hasbro but having a Hasbro bey wasn't a huge issue because they were practically identical. All Metal Fight stuff (except Fury and Shogun Steel) were made almost equally. Nowadays it's like playing spot the differences but the differences are painted black and it's so obvious that it's no longer fun. Hasbro will always have that sort of fun factor to them, they always make interesting gimmicks, even if they get a bit botched in execution. XTS was garbage but it was still fun. It wasn't a huge stain on the Beyblade community because it was a side series that didn't impact the main line of Beyblade whatsoever. You could still buy a Storm Pegasus and it'd be a Storm Pegasus. Now it's just sad seeing what could have been if they just worked smarter and not harder.
All they had to do was cater to both sides nearly equally, and their reputation wouldn't be as in the garbage as it is now. You can have fun, wacky gimmicks while still releasing Beyblades with proper gimmicks, actual competitive use. Make TT beys that were difficult to get because they were locked behind a set, or as a random booster prize, easier to get. Make them the same quality as their Japanese counterparts. You'd make easy money just doing that! But nope, you have messed up, butchered releases that pale in comparison to the originals. The casual outsider who isn't too into Beyblade isn't going to be swayed to your side just because you released a hollowed out Command Dragon with none of the original gimmicks and an egg-shaped driver. You need to put the fans first most of the time because they're the ones that _want_ to give you money. They're the ones that actively want the products you're going to make. Satisfy the fans, then appeal to the casual audience. If Hasbro just did their "authentic Japanese products" line alongside Slingshock, Hypersphere, Surge on the same season, with decent quality and not having such a massive drought of products between releases, nobody would be as harsh towards those lines of Beyblade. The system existing isn't the main problem, it being the _only_ system is.
Personally, as long as they were actually authentic Japanese products, and they did more than three at a time, I don't mind Pro Series having teeth. Yeah, it'd lock out a majority of the Hasbro catalog, but they're being properly advertised, you get dash drivers in the process, which don't work with the slopes system no matter how much you try to really modify it and it's far easier to get. You can just walk down to the store, pick up a Pro Series bey and bam, you have an extremely, if not practically, accurate product compared to Takara Tomy. Hasbro Beyblade has garbage PR. They don't try to reach out to fans for feedback, actively silence them whenever they start getting heat for their poor decisions and completely ignore any problems without even slightly addressing them. Hasbro seriously needs to get their act together. I don't want to have to say that Beyblade deserves a better company, but as long as Hasbro keeps treating Beyblade so poorly, I don't see any reason not to believe it.
Gimmicks and proper accuracy to the system: Exists
Hasbro: no
Zankey is the most REAL Beyblade CZcamsr when it comes to hasbro !! 👍🏾
As someone who grew up with Plastic, Metal, and Burst Gen, I can tell you that Hasbro has fallen off greatly over the years especially with the Burst products.
Plastic Gen Beys were pretty much exactly like the Japanese versions with possibly some minor differences here and there. Back then, companies like Hasbro, Bandai of America, etc. just took Japanese toys they received the rights to distribute and gave them new packaging for international markets while also releasing some of their own exclusive stuff as well.
However, things went bad around the global recession in the late 2000’s and toy companies were hit. Now American companies had to sacrifice some of the budget and quality for their toylines while trying to make a profit. These companies no longer imported the Japanese versions or even used the same molds in order to cut costs. Luckily, Hasbro Metal Beys are quite identical to the Takara Tomy for the most part aside from some differences so I’ll give them credit there.
Now years later, Hasbro releases Burst Beys and it’s just a mess and this video pretty much sums it up.
The post-Evolution Beys look very cheap and most lack the gimmicks their TT counterparts have. Heck, even counterfeit TT Beys look or even perform better than Hasbro’s. I don’t support buying bootleg products, but if you showed someone a Hasbro and a counterfeit TT Bey most would say that the Hasbro version is a fake.
Also, what happened to the Beystadiums nowadays? They used to have cool graphic designs and were large enough where Beys don’t get stuck in the pockets most of the time (I still wish Hasbro just stopped putting pockets in their stadiums especially for the basic ones).
-QuadDrive looks fun and interesting and it's definitely a step-up from Surge in my opinion.- I just really want Hasbro to fix some of their mistakes and maybe try to redeem themselves before Burst is completely over as Beyblade is one of my favourite toys ever.
*Update:* QuadDrive is very disappointing especially with how Ultimate Evo Valtryek and Glory Regnar turned out. Hasbro let us down again.
surge was better than quaddrive
@@Itz_purple607 Yeah, after buying a few QD Beys, Speedstorm is miles better than QuadDrive.
Liked the “my opinion, stay mad”
Cause there are bound to be kids that dont see the flaws
Hasbro really started going downhill after Switchstrike, I guess Slingshock was ok..? Still not good, but a bit average. I actually had some hope around the time Pro Series was released, but after all the complaints and the actual releases themselves - I just killed all hope for Hasbro, and was ready for the next release, keeping in mind that it won't be good. We have been surprised a few times, sometimes there were moments of appreciation - but really, we have mostly gotten disappointing releases after Evolution and that's pretty much disheartening. This is mainly why I always buy my beys from TT. Takara Tomy and Hasbro both have their own flaws, but Hasbro has them by a big margin.
Man I miss the days when hasbro even gave a crap to put care into their beys
I've been waiting for this one!
12:20 Something to back this up:Vortex Climb Set,the dip in the green part is supposed to be used to give the beyblades more speed. The majority of the time(atleast with me) the
beys go on the part but dont gain speed AT ALL.
Honestly I still don’t know why hasbro didn’t do metal for the Cho-z season because they made nightmare literally the season before
drop in retail price, easier to sell and cheap out than metal on layers I guess
@@zankyewell its kinda like the thing where if something is free itll get like 100× more success then if it cost anything to get in
I agree with everything you said throughout the whole video Zankye. I don’t like hasbro beys but pro series I’m only interested in getting.
i say Hasbro is great for the stadiums, pro series is the only one to buy to be a challenge towards TT using friends
I stopped buying Beyblades after they stopped releasing switch strike beys, anything past that was just disappointing. I finally bought some Beyblades again when they released the pro series, I was excited to finally have the original gimmicks back, but they let me down again with the super weak teeth. I am really happy with Command Dragon, and Lord Spryzen, but everything else in the pro series was a disappointment with how easy they break. Though, now that my desire to collect Beyblades is back, I started ordering TT beys even though they're super expensive and take forever to get to me. I really hope hasbro eventually listens to our feedback and concerns. But they will probably continue to ignore us beyblade fans, and continue to make weird low quality beys that are even worse than bootlegs ffs...
Use ebay
Man spent about an hour just criticizing hasbro on their goods and flaws, this is how we know that Zankye is dedicated to BEYBLADE on a level where others are too scared to talk about it. Great Video man and keep up the good work
Yep couldn't agree more, you made a bunch of statements that are true and Hasbro really needs to start changing up their products to have some quality.
100 % true
I was waiting for someone to actually call them out on this.
good thought process man. Makes sense
Been watching your videos since Beyblade metal masters its crazy how old i feel
I pretty much agree with everything you said I this video,my problem started with gt I thought slingshot was fine because at least they where somewhat keeping the parts accurate and the paint to replace the stickers wasn't that bad
Boy you've grown so much. Time flies
I lost sight of beyblade after metal fight but started getting back into beyblade after me and some friend's got back into beyblade because we talked about metal fight we then used those beys again. But we were like hey let's try the current day beyblades. We got a few hyper sphere beys and we didn't think much. But a short while after i watched the burst anime and noticed hey these beys don't even really match what is this? I wasn't used to this current hasbro. This was around beyblade burst super king (episode 17) so i was like i don't want to support such half assed product's i felt sorry for the current day kids since they didn't even get anime accurate beys. I got brave valkyrie and loved its incredible fun battling rage and being back in beyblade was great but seriously hasbro really fell off if i ever get another bey it will be from TT. I also noticed that many ppl defent hasbro im guessing that they are current day kids who only know the bad hasbro which make me sad
Come on how could they blacklist you ? You gave them compliments where they did good and criticized the bad places in a very polite and moderate language where they deserved far far worse .... It's just sad how they turn a loved franchise into a toxic ,money extraction plan... Like they exist for us..they run on our money ,the money of the people who buy these beys ....and they are ignoring the same fans who provide them the money to function , extremely disappointing I really hope quad drive is a redemption for Hasbro or else everything is finished fans have lost faith in Hasbro already and soon enough they'll be abandoned by the fans so please Hasbro for your own good ,do everything right and don't just be a money extraction machine please we know you want money and you only see us as walking money bags if that's how you want to play it fair enough produce good beys we will buy them ,if you give us overpriced trash you are gonna regret it
Thanks for the heart zankye ,none of these words are made up they are as true as our existence,none of it is flattery ,keep it up ,you are doing a very good job.. don't let anyone tell any different than that
Naming the video chapters after the Hasbro named seasons was GENIUS!!! I absolutely dig all these funny yet descriptive names lmaoooooooo
i've been waiting for this video since zankye reviewed the final 2 pack for surge
The issue with the Surge stadium set is worse because in order to Unlock the “True potential” of the bey you have to buy the set and the 2 Starter beys to get the Chaisis disc
I really miss the when hasbro beyblade’s actually had there gimmicks correctly made
Good video, I agree with most of if not all your points. I only got back into beyblade because of the pro series and how its closer to TT. Pro series feels like a half assed apology for what they did ever since season 2 but at the same time I feel like its a small step in the right direction. Im still upset that Hasbro couldve just done this at any point really.
1:24 Spyder punching the air right now
People are entitled to their opinion, however, if you are disabling comments because you can't handle discourse then that is a bit sad.
I'll be honest, I was expecting this to be long, but not essay length lmao.
During the terrible era, I actually had cho z Valkyrie which did not have the slingshot system, and I only have Hasbro stadiums so when I picked up a slingshot stadium, the Takara Beyblade worked better than the actual Hasbro Beyblade’s that were meant for that stadium
I tried to follow this but I dont really understand what's being said in the video. I wanted to learn more about burst as I am a metal fusion series blader waaaay back in the day and am just now learning about newer beyblades "burst" but I dont think its my cup of tea as they seem as a whole worst than metal fusion.. But I like the passion this creator has for this series and wanting to give criticism on parts of this series to hopefully see it improve. Nice video!!
I really hope the older tops rerelease because I lost part for a lot of my switchstrike beys plus I only got 3 from 1-2 season.
When Burst first came out, I didn't even notice any differences to the tt beys from the hasbro ones. Well yea, hasbro has slopes instead of teeth, but that aside, I didn't notice anything. Then turbo came. I was so upset when I got my first turbo bey, cause I was so excited that it had metal, but it hadn't. Then I realized, that hasbro didn't care about gimmicks anymore. Turbo was all about metal being fused into the layers, and hasbro decided to mostly remove that. The drivers were also very much about slingshot, which was disappointing. I wanted the gimmick of extend, it was so cool to see in the anime, and then I saw what hasbro did. When Rise came, I wasn't surprised anymore. There weren't ANY gimmicks on the layers, and they also were almost completely hollowed out. The drivers also were extremely poorly handled. You remember Prime Apocalypse? The infinite lock bey that was one of the strongest beys by far. It was almost impossible to burst. Now hasbro decided to completely ban this. Apocalypse was hollowed out, it had no gimmicks, and it had the weakest burst resistance. I was soooo disappointed with what hasbro did. Next was surge, which wasn't that bad. It had many gimmicks, but also not that many accurate ones. The chassis were poorly handled, and there were only 4 of them. The beys were extremely unstable and had almost no LAD. Brave Valtryek, the bey with the strongest rubber attack ever, had no rubber, and was hollowed out. Hollow Doomscizer was given the power of his name. It was completely hollowed out, instead of having metal in the scythe.
Well yea, hasbros beys have weaker plastic, but it's still inexcusable to not even make full layers, and not hollowed out ones.
I'm sorry to all hasbro lovers, but I really doubt that hasbro will ever improve in the beys.
It’s sad hasbro can’t cheap out some money to add some metal to the layers or add the gimmicks or at the very very least keep the drivers a bit similar to the tt versions like with turbo and quad drive, you could somewhat tell what they were going for but with hypersphere and speedstorm where they are nowhere close to the original drivers.
Perfect watched the entire vid, thanks for calling this out Zankye
@kikiriki de la flouries bruh, get out kid
Now it's overpriced, and it's hard to import due to the pandemic. Zankye has been here since MFB and he's seen a lot of beyblades so he definitely knows what he's talking about.
Respect to Zankye.
This makes me sad because if you look at other hasbro products outside of beyblade, like transformers, they are really good (Beside QC issues). It feels like hasbro isn’t giving 100% to all their products, which would be fine if the issues were distributed evenly, they would just make less money and have to put effort to get the profits back up. But because one thing has more care than another, they’ll continue to make money from the better product leading to them caring less for it and caring even less for the one that did poorly
Nah Man
Hasbro also does PR and they are so bad at it
and thanks for posting this because kids see the TT on ads and stuff and go to target or Walmart to be disappointed with no gimmicks. I remember when I was washing beyblade burst rise I saw all the cool gimmicks and went to target to get the bey only to be disappointed with no gimmicks.
I miss the metal fight days 😞
The dual series and Evolution series is where has Hasbro had it right or were very similar to TT bays, but from then on, u look at a bay from Hasbro now and u think "what the heck did they do"
i was waiting for that
I mean i saw those sling shock remake recolors of the og 4 plastic gens, and got bit by nostalgia. I dont have a stadium yet, but willing to give both TT and hasb a go to build a custom bey for me. Not so much behind set collecting. But would like something viable and flashy to battle with all the same.
When I first got into beyblade, I originally thought hasbro was the only company making beyblades, but at some point when I saw a friend's beyblades, who had the takara tomy counterparts to my own, I was very confused. Now I'm very unsatisfied with hasbro beyblades
Sees title: *I got time*
Sees video length: *I* -got- *might have time*
Just a couple comments/critiques on the differences between TT and Hasbro:
Aren't most of the disks, at least, interchangeable between the two companies?
I do agree with a lot of what you said. I've been a fan for so long since Metal Saga and this is the worst that I've seen Hasbro do.
Thanks for making this in-depth video about all the different areas of Hasbro's beys that need improving.
You made me sub to you & i never knew about this i wish i knew before buying some for my lil cousin.
Honestly, I enjoy habro because it is more accessible for me, and I see that there are issues, but I will still buy them, because I do enjoy them. But if I really want a competitive beyblade I will use tt, but I do think hasbro should fix some issues. If that were to happen, I might buy more habro beys.
Ive never seen you like this i love it also hasbro isnt getting better we can dream but we cant have miracles
I feel you.
Ah yes, It’s time to get ready for a beyblade bedtime story with zankye. Might as well brush my beyblade tips and pack my snacks and drinks for a 50 minute long opinion video.
I remember how much fun i used to have playing with the beys from evolution. Such fun me watching the show with my friends and folding them cause i was the only one who had spryzen requiem. Why did they ruin it for people now...
I’m personally a hasbro person and I actually agree slingshock was okay but hypersphere was bad but does it’s system better but the tips annoyed me and surge was just idk I was happy to see satobm back and I used it and the tip ruins the whole bey but great job on this vid
This is a reminder of how beyblade x from hasbro could get in the future. Now is flowers & happiness but we still dont know what could possibly get in to the future
Hope Takara DROPS HASBRO (at least with Beyblade) and just do Beyblade themselves in the States.
Well they actually have takara tomy branding on them now and they made a statement that they will focus on making the beyblades be the same as the original release
51 minutes? Now im even more happy
Those are good reasons, good points to why Hasbro series Beyblades are not "profitiable" due to their lack of efforts from Turbo to Surge.
Not to mention how in my eyes, seeing the Pro Series is just a getaway of the problem rather than the solution of the problem.
But, I do have to give them small credit cause "SOME" beyblade from Hasbro series are actually at the passing range to attract customer.
I just hope that rather than "continuing" making the same kind of beys over and over, here's an proposable idea that may work (Just my idea, no offense and anything bad, just giving ideas that may/may not (cannot guarantee) work.)
Idea:
1. Remake Beyblades from Turbo to Surge with similar models, parts and gimicks to Takara Tomy version. (Example: Metal parts/layers, actual metal ring and actual drivers with 100% similar functions and looks as Takara Tomy versions for all Beys.)
2. All exclusive parts (Example: Valtryek's Ult.R. Driver), should be added into ordinary packs and/or boxes rather than making it exclusive only for Pro Series. That way, the products for ordinary packs and boxes will increase.
3. It's a good idea to sell beyblades with slopes in the ordinary packs, and add teething for Pro Series only (just so that you can prevent marketing products that are similar to Takara Tomy's products), but...make sure you added parts that should be added in the Pro Series (Example: No stickers for All Pro Series Beys (In my honest opinion, stickers just don't last long. Their paint layer is more effective, but needs to look similar to the ones on anime and Takara Tomy), Level Chips for Turbo Beys, Beyblade launchers, holders and set up similar to the anime and Takara Tomy versions, and exclusive stadiums that works for all type of Beyblade.)
4. Improve Beyblade Burst game with better graphics and additional game modes that fits the theme as the anime or even add actual characters from the anime and give unique awakenings.
5. QR Codes: Sure, you can add them on the back of the beys, but that just takes away the accessiblity for other layer parts. Put the QR Codes in a tag or something that can be added to the launcher like the tags that you can add on the top of the device.
6. Try to put more effort into it. You did so well with the Original and Evolution sets and just went downhill in Turbo to Surge.
You make the best vids dude
Tbh, I just am surprised that slopes went away for Pro. The teeth are the only reason why I don't collect any TT stuff. I'm really disappointed that the quality has gone down, and that Pro isn't what I wanted to see. I wanted the Japanese tops with slopes, it would help keep things compatible and I know it's not worth anything now that the series is effectively not a great thing anymore
Lets be real its been a downfall since metal fight ended
How tho? Are you talking about the Beys or the show? I prefer burst because your beys explode. But metal series has a better show
They screwed up the 4D beys by making hollow versions of them before going back and rereleasing them in neon colors
Hasbro starting slipping at the end of metal
It's just sad because the burst beys of season 1 were so solid they could almost compete with tomy. After the fact, they did to burst what they did to metal fury, which is honestly depressing
you missed the lazy painting but this video basically sums up my view on hasbro
there was so much against Hasbro that i literally cannot cover it all without it being two hours
@@zankye Yeah that is true. All it really took for me was the lack of metal and gimmicks anyway. Switchstrike was the peak of Hasbro beyblade burst imo.
It was so well back in the plastic gen days and some of metal fight and burst
When Burst first released, I still lived in Indonesia where TT was available, but I was still grieving the loss of Metal Fight, not ready to pick up product, I finally picked up DB beys this month, after having learned that Burst is ending, I'd known that Hasblow would nerf more than teeth to slopes, as I was around for Hyperblades, and while I share the disappointment, I can't say I'm surprised. I come over from the Transformers fandom, I understand the disappointment when the Western release looks like a scratch sketch and the JP release looks like the Mona Lisa, but a least with that, it's just looks-with this... entire material and design changes for costcutting... oof
I'm willing to bet my entire beyblade collection that Hasbro is gonna start striking down videos of leaks and/or criticism
Free Speech
I agree with you on everything except the pro series part. I Understand you saying they aren't compatible with normal Hasbro beys but high quality is high qaulity
Qaulity? Confusing
One thing that you missed was that Hasbro doesn’t fill in their beyblades any more. They are hollow and layers that could be really good even w/o the gimmicks are even worse. An example is Judgment Joker. IMO the layer is pretty good for a defense layer (there are better layers, but stick with me) but the fact that it is hollow completely ruins the want to customize with it. Hyrus is a duel layer, and I would use it’s layer over Judgment any day of the week.
Of course I mentioned the hollow out
“Has-bros” need to understand that this mega toy corporation is here for profit…. and at their expense, literally. I know because they did the same thing to their Nerf brand. Literally, “Nerf-ing” it more and more since their purchase of Nerf.
Honestly I can agree with everything he says. Honestly whenever he talks about hasbro in other videos, he doesn’t sound as enthusiastic and stuff as he used to for seasons 1-2
I'm just getting in to Beyblades and watching some of your videos. Mention of Hasbro sucked me in, haha. Reason being, I love tcg's and have been an avid Magic the Gathering player for over a decade... until recently. Hasbro owns WOTC who make MTG and within the past 4 or so years quality and product has shifted drastically. They generally just push out massive amounts of product and shift gears constantly in to different independent property mashups all while using things like the secret lair line to intentionally create FOMO. So long as Hasbro has a hand in a product they will drag down quality and feed in to constant hype and FOMO tactics because unfortunately it works and they make tons of money. Also, they make like 9 variants of the same card and spread it over 5 products to reinforce the necessity of buying absurd amounts of product to complete collections or get the bling you're looking for. I really love that unlike mtg where I have to go through Hasbro, I can just buy Takara Tomy beys and get what I'm looking for. I ended up ordering the 2 Beys I already had from Hasbro online (but the TT version) and the difference is absolutely insane. The Hasbro beys just don't do it for me now knowing I can just go online to a seller listing TT product and pick up something that feels like I ripped it out of the anime. I guess pro series is alright but it's Hasbro... so corner cutting is inevitable.
Impressive more of the same with Hasbro,
This video was based as hell, and though my collection's a mix of both Hasbro and TT products, I gotta admit that Hasbro's taken quite the nosedive from Evolution. I've done my own little reviews on Hasbro's Burst products, and what Zankye said here is exactly what I bring up (I.E lack of gimmicks on all components of the bey, lack of good details like paint and decals, and an over all lack of awareness for what makes burst so special and unique for TT's versions and what makes this generation stand out from MF and Plastic Gen.)
Don't get me wrong, I can find some aspects that are decent enough on recent releases to keep me coming back every once in a while to get select products from Hasbro, but ultimately I have only but a small glimmer of hope that Quad Drive or wherever Burst decides to do from here is at least closer or exact to what was the old standard for the first season up to Evolution, as I know we'd all greatly appreciate that.
switchstrike gave me hope good price relevant with tt but after that it only went down surge gave me hope for wave 1 but boi did we get jebaited after wave 1 and pro series why couldn't it be slopes rip being compatible with my collection. good critique Zankye you have listed many good points of hasbros questionable choices that make the fans a little bit angry to say the least.
i feel like it would be neat if hasbro’s main line was comparable to tt and they did stuff like slingshock and hypersphere as a side series.
8:30 id like to bring up the fact that even if they were so called “anime colors” the spriggan of the first box set wasnt even true colors, they added gold for some reason?
this is the reason I only get the non switchstrike and dual layer beys I really like.
