The Original Beyblade Was Special.

"I love you dude, let it rip."
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.

[@thedigiknow]

Right haha!!!

[@Deoxy360]

That and crush gear turbo

[@wwe682]

I mean you're not wrong😂

[@Aluran]

True

[@alexmcphee8199]

Brother love lol

[@JoeSoSick]

Beyblade, Metabots, Digimon, Pokemon and Zoids were the glory days for me. 😢❤

[@dlacey1895]

You spittin facts

[@alexanderwindh4830]

Medabots was sick. Medabee was from the hood

[@coolergappney1943]

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

[@sasuke851]

You named all the best shows on Saturday morning

[@TheShockVox]

Something special

[@AuldHammer]

Beyblade, digimon, dragonball, yugioh, pokemon etc..we were absolutely spoiled as kids with these fantastic animated shows.

[@kevintheclairvoyant.4271]

So spoiled ❤

[@donsq4306]

Don't forget some others like Detective Conan, shin chan, Inuyasha and more

[@TheEmeraldBeast135]

The way I was locked in when these shows were on was crazy 😭

[@sdmugabe]

Inuyasha too

[@abujunayed]

Toonami in the early 2000s really pumped out the best shows, Saturday morning cartoons too

[@Deoxy360]

I grew up on the OG Beyblade trilogy. It's cool to see it get some more love.

[@zacthemastodonranger]

Same

[@teamsteed1]

Same here. :)

[@solo-bod]

G-revolution goes hard

[@teamsteed1]

@@solo-bod Yeah it did go hard. It was nice to see the White Tiger team and the "BBA All-Starz" again.

[@ItsJustKaya]

Duuuuude the first toys were brutal. I liked them😂

[@SageO6PathzGON]

YESSS FINALLY SOME LOVE FOR THE OG SERIES!!! BLADEBREAKERS FOR LIFE! LET IT RIIIIIIIIP

[@thedigiknow]

Let it rip dude

[@salvadorsoriano4559]

That soundtrack slaps to this day

[@ashlirabid9614]

Agreed.

[@LucarioShirona]

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!

[@ItsJustKaya]

Meanwhile i used it as a flying spinning blade Those things had metall parts

[@Cinderpelt2036]

The reason why TT want beyblade become a "sports" is because TT try to copy of the success of tamiya mini4wd

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

@@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.

[@Dusxio]

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.

[@FreddyAndBessy]

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.

[@TheGuiterguy]

G-Revolution was really good

[@ChristopherJames1993]

Definitely. Kai was my favourite character in all of media for 20 years. Still is because hes such a deep and well written character.

[@aravind.r9621]

Yesss!!!

[@ashlirabid9614]

Happily agree.

[@kingdg5629]

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.

[@hannah60000]

Indeed. We even had tournaments after school! What a time to be alive and a young child. 😊

[@IAmMightyMike]

The original intro lives in my mind rent free

[@DiamondFlame45]

Millennials definitely grew up on the OG 3 seasons 😂 I could care less about the Beyblade series after those 3 seasons lol

[@sciguy8165]

Facts

[@ChristopherJames1993]

I said this when it came out. Why do it. The original wrapped up perfectly. Didnt need new characters and a new gimmick.

[@zakarijenkins341]

Facts all these kids say ginka is the goat. They don’t know about our boy Tyson

[@ashlirabid9614]

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.

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

I can't believe I never realized BeyBlade was a sports anime before xD. Boy the memories I have playing BeyBlade as a kid

[@CD-Gaming]

"That moment you realise..."

[@alfredonavarro9526]

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.

[@jrgenvellesen7800]

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!"

[@ashlirabid9614]

Kevin did look like a primate.

[@DBTGAMER]

The English dub theme song absolutely rocks. More Beyblade videos please. Let's keep this spinning.

[@thedigiknow]

It’s iconic

[@Shiftrick]

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.

[@justinrodriguez5957]

The absolute insanity of this show is legendary when kids have the four gods as super powered spinning tops. Also, "Underdog" just slapped.

[@LynkCableTv]

My favourite sports anime, to this day me and my friends still make reference to Beyblade, such a classic series!

[@Tylky]

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.

[@thedigiknow]

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

[@nuc]

Beyblade was a masterpiece

[@Joshua_N-A]

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.

[@thedigiknow]

PART 2! Ray! Mariah! The White Tigers! Go go go, see ya there! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGfbe6p3o79_lcksi=2u_4G21qwH1n4brR

[@TheShockVox]

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!!”

[@ChristopherJames1993]

It was Kai for me. He was a little bit older so his voice was deeper. I love Kai personally.

[@ikai210.0]

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

[@thechosenone93]

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.

[@b1ake__]

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!

[@crazymutter]

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

[@paladincomics]

do keep going, I rewatched this a few years back, still enjoyable from start to finish imo

[@mrbowserm5071]

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

[@daimyogt]

One of my favourite Digimon creators dropped a OG Beyblade Video?! Bey Fans, we're eating 😭🙌

[@TheToneBender]

Me and my friends were *obsessed* with the first series back in the day.

[@bigman52100]

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! 🔥

[@DarkArtemisBeyblade]

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 😎👍🔥

[@brett_crandall_studios]

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.

[@KingNidoYT]

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.

[@Jrodgamer1]

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! 😄

[@axelrod45-yugiohandmore38]

I would love to see more of this content! It's been years since i last watched Beyblade OG and I remember it fondly!

[@stompingrabbit]

This is probably my favourite Beyblade review on youtube,amazing work! Subbed

[@thedigiknow]

Yoooo thanks so much!!!

[@stompingrabbit]

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

[@Roojercurryninja]

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

[@NicoTreecko]

Love the Beyblade revisit. Memories of blading for years with friends, good times

[@tatsukinomiya]

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

[@NexalZita]

Bruh OG Beyblade was the goat of childhood anime! I made a amv of all the main characters!

[@xblade149]

Oh my God. Soooo 2000s nostalgia. I grew up with this show

[@BONDORK2]

Good video! Would definitely enjoy more videos about they other arcs. Let it rip!

[@IndividualEleven3ABV]

This video was great! Please do more, I'm along for the ride.

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks a lot! It was fun to revisit and I want to do more

[@CreativeSteve69]

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.

[@C.buddha34]

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).

[@Cpt_crabhammer]

It's funny you put this video out cuz I also just found out the whole series was on KZbin and started watching it. I never saw it as a kid so it's wild experiencing it for the first time.

[@thedigiknow]

haha nice -- maybe beyblade renaissance is just in all of our subconscious

[@Traxtal]

Dude, I'd definitely be up for seeing more beyblade content! Great vid

[@thedigiknow]

Thank u legend!

[@SabbyNeko]

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.

[@DrizzleSports]

This Beyblade > New Beyblade

[@AnonymousC2218]

agreed The Beyblade shows after the original trilogy sucked.

[@adnanaboukewik4950]

I enjoy both a lot tbh but I just started "This beyblade" last month

[@ashlirabid9614]

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.

[@kyled.parksesq7263]

@@AnonymousC2218there probaly not better then this but they didn’t suck

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!

[@janelantestaverde2018]

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.

[@f.miguelbalde9671]

Here for the continued arc reviews!

[@nunyabusiness4904]

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.

[@Kuroshiro_123]

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

[@thedigiknow]

Haha yeah early into this rewatch I had a sneaking suspicion dizzi was an English dub creation, looked it up and sure enough 😂

[@Terterg]

Im interested in thr book club anime arc series! Loved this video. Took me back as I rediscover the og series too, it really was more than I gave it credit for.

[@JoseDorda]

I would really like ot see you cover each arc from time to as long these videos keep doing well.

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.

[@muhdshafiq2523]

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.

[@mr.mtfvsgaming3767]

So what your telling me is i need to rewatch this show again

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.

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
