Beyblade fans take Twitter by storm as they reminisce about their top moments from the series

Beyblade is a beloved anime series from the 90s and 2000s that has left a lasting impact on the childhood of many. It delved into the concept of spinning tops and showcased their endless possibilities. The series captivated audiences with its stunning designs and innovative features.

What set Beyblade apart was its ability to make the tops from the show a reality. Fans could collect and battle with their favorite Beyblades, both on their own and with friends. The series even inspired the creation of real-life arenas for fans to engage in epic battles.

Fans recall Beyblade and discuss their favorite moments

The iconic series has recently sparked conversations among fans, leading to a resurgence of interest on platforms such as TikTok and X (formerly known as Twitter). Nostalgic fans have been reminiscing about the most memorable moments in the anime, taking a trip down memory lane. Here's the fanbase's take on the beloved series.

Initially, there was some confusion among internet users who were unfamiliar with Beyblade and its relevance to the discussion. However, some took the opportunity to provide explanations, while others humorously shared interpretations without any background information. Fans were simply delighted to see Beyblade being brought up and nostalgically reminisced about their cherished childhood memories.

Takao Aoki was the writer and illustrator of the Beyblade manga, which was later transformed into an anime in 2001. This led to a surge in real-life spinning top battles, inspired by the on-screen duels between characters like Tyson Granger, Kenny, Kai Hiwatari, and Ray Kon, among others. Fans are thrilled to see their beloved anime being celebrated even after all these years (Screengrab via X).

Among the many fan favorites discussed, one character stood out as the dominant topic of conversation: Ryuga, a key figure in the Beyblade: Metal Fusion series. As a prime antagonist, he gained popularity for his infamous Meteo L-Drago. This evolved version featured the Spin Steal ability, which allowed it to gather rotational energy when colliding with other Beyblades. The unique anti-clockwise spin of Meteo L-Drago set it apart from other tops, spinning in a clockwise direction.

Kai, another character who resonated with fans, was a deuteragonist in the original series. He wielded a balance-type Beyblade called Dranzer, which went through multiple iterations. His introduction to the sport came from a place of resentment, as his father had chosen Beyblade over his own son. An interesting tidbit about Kai is that he has been a member of more teams than any other character in the series.

The Beyblade series remains popular, with dedicated fans still collecting their favorite tops. It's rare to see the anime community come together for a discussion without any online squabbles, but the status of Beyblade as a classic anime makes this moment even more special.

Stay tuned for more anime and manga news as 2023 progresses.
