[@Dexter-ix1cx]

As an engineer I can confirm all that was said here, additional fun fact: steel has a fatigue limit, if its never subjected to any stress above its fatigue limit it will never suffer fatigue or fatigue related breakage, sadly zinc does have such a limit so it will always break eventually even if the impact forces are low. This could be mitigated with better designs that reduce stress accumulation points but that takes a lot of time and effort which would make beys too expensive. Have a wonderful day everyone o/

[@Lavie_Azure]

Considering how they often update the molds, I think they're taking the time and money to better their design

[@Dexter-ix1cx]

@@Lavie_Azure truly hope so, but with such complex designs stress points are inevitable and with the power of this new generation, breakage is going to happen, im actually quite surprised it has not been worse despite the numerous cases. Older gens also broke often enough and had a fraction of the impacts these suffer

[@DarkArtemisBeyblade]

I dont mind if a bey breaks unless it cost me an arm and a leg to get it 💀👍🔥

[@Shiyun777]

Short version: Metal fight beys were rounder for saftey reasons and so less recoil meanng less Broken beyblades and Beyblade X not only do they spin even faster and they reach reasonably dangerous speeds but it's also because of their designs that are more aggressive meaning more recoil, with all of that combined you get more broken beys. But also people don't seem to realize how fragile metal can be

[@superfamiclone]

[@Hdjdhdhhdhh]

I said that a year ago when zankye tried to make it seem like normal but x beys definitely break way more often then metal fight

[@miguelcrafter2997]

One big reason the Beys always were and are breaking is because of the launch power, the Beys are spinning with very fast speed which bends the parts outwards making it break eventually The Beys hitting each other makes the results even faster

[@morningstar9849]

Let's be honest though, that wizard Rod at the beginning looked coolest fuck. It's almost cinematic when a Beyblade brakes, especially in the right way.

[@emenefer]

This gen I think has the most diverse fanbase. I have heard scholarly/scientific dissertations on Beyblade before, but not for a while and probably not as legit as this. Cool science fun facts here. Although now given what I've learned from your video, I can only assume I have not been battling hard enough, since none of my X Blades are broken.

[@thedaftbrothers]

Thanks! I'm glad that people have been taking this video as a challenge to break their beys.

[@PepperPawbs]

I’m genuinely surprised I haven’t experienced more breaks in my own play. The last tournament I played had beys getting ejected over the shroud onto concrete without any breakage. Still cheaper than buying new hockey sticks.

[@slapshotjack9806]

This video is like madoka trying to explain how the smallest scratches can cause major problems

[@thundrakion]

I feel the main reason these beys break faster beyond the Xtreme line gimmick is the launchers themselves, except for the Hasbro starter launchers. Any launcher outside Hasbro's use gears in the launcher to up the rotation speed of the launcher itself while the starter launchers are direct connections.

[@makinyoumad9498]

[@kelavia2112]

My answer: they use the same metal and plastic from previous gens without taking into account that X moves way faster and hits way harder. Thus causing beys to break

[@sleepycCh]

Not true though. The plastic and metal parts used are of different composition

[@Sai-fj4wi]

They have made the plastics softer so that it deforms when hit, rather than break. They can't really do too much with metal that I know of

[@akiyamato3299]

That's why you need at least 2-3 beys of the same model, one for use, one for display and one for value preservation

[@ooofthedegenerate]

I’ve personally only experienced breakages with the plastic tabs that hold they blade to rachet. This happened to both my TT knight lance and Viper tail. However at least hasbros molding seems to have addressed this somewhat with curving off the little tabs while I doubt this will solve the problem as a whole or most definitely helps reduce the stress those tiny ass tabs have put on them. So I think it’s very likely that hasbro releases might address more problems at large.

Which I did consider couldn't just coating these beys with a dab of flex tape reduce friction so they don't break but it not drastically effect weight?

[@catnepdotbiz]

?

[@SamsaranRapture]

metal fight only exists in the past so it doesn't seem like it broke as much because the only ones we have now are the good ones that lasted. same goes for modern beys but their breakage is in the present so it feels more present. the internet also makes posting about your bey breaking a lot easier compared to telling your friends on the playground your second big bang Pegasus broke already. if you're buying toys where the whole point is to smash bits of metal into each other at high speeds you're probably gonna find them breaking from time to time. there's also the fact that its the adults who know the meta and can actually put power into their launches who's posting about the breakages. breakages suck ass especially when its a design issue but x beys really aren't especially brittle compared to other seasons, especially metal fight.

I still have 9 launchers left but I have never broken any of my beyblades ( I dont think the number is accurate)

[@araarabutkermitthefrog]

Beyblade X problem is it metal is way thinner than metal fight but it have way more aggressive design and hit way harder And it also have exposed plastics on the blade where the metal part make contact, and its can deformed make the connection worst Worst design+harder impact = just trash durability

[@araarabutkermitthefrog]

[@MiniatureW]

You should taking in the consideration of people who snipe launch, I swear to god, newbies even people who in the game long enough to around intermediate still use snipe launch as a technique to help them getting better advantage at getting knock out, which is something they should never do when launching a beyblade just to even getting the advantage, that type of launch will give their bey a lot of recoil which will damage it faster, if you want to know why these x beys broke so fast despite a lot of other people like me still have their for more than a year or at least half a year not even broken, there your answer, people really need to learn to be considerate of their stuff. Also, there exception here, Unicorn Sting, Dran Dagger and Dran Sword version 1.0 mold lack filling support at some area which make them notorious to how easy to break they are, so this one is definitely on TT fault, they did later corrected Dran Sword with version 2.0, which widely available in the Hasbro release, which is why you don't ended up seeing report of breaking with 2.0 Dran Sword more than 1.0 Dran Sword.

[@bigcheese6417]

I'm not defending them, but I actually think it's kinda sick they break. Especially when beyblade x is the most violent in the series. Should they last longer, yeah ofc it sucks and I'm again, not defending, It's just kinda hype when my hunk of metal snaps your hunk of metal. It wouldn't suck as much if hasbro was up to date with takara tomy in releases and stuff like UX was widely released in the west but it's ok it's not stopping me having fun, if anything its adding to it.
