Kai vs. Brooklyn might be my favorite fight in the OG series. I do like the symbolism of this battle being the Death of the old Kai, and the rebirth of a new Kai, one that fully understands both himself and what Beyblade means to him. Brooklyn is also a really good antagonist, probably my favorite final boss in the original trilogy.

Kai gave his life for this get back, Dranzer is definitely going in the hall of fame

Everyone always made such a big deal about Ryuga versus Rago, but I remember that during that fight, my mind ended up going back to this faint memory. This memory of Kai fighting Brooklyn. Insurmountable odds, power that made one of the halves of the final battle, the very battle that shook a Beystadium so big it took up nearly the entire tournament floor, shook the walls and actually vaporized the ceiling, but even after that shaking, that desire to fight still pushed them forward, after being worn to literally nothing but still matching that very power blow for blow that it even made the bladers transcend their bodies, power that made all of that look like nothing... But then battered, bruised, and even being attacked by the actual blader himself in the fight... Kai pushed through those insurmountable odds, and that's why I loved him, and so many rival characters. This is what drew me into Beyblade as a kid, and why I care so much for shows like Dragon Ball and Beyblade.

Kai vs brooklyn is definitely one of the best fights in the og series for sure. This man got brooklyn shook so bad despite being on the receiving of his attacks 😂

Season/Series 3 was unironically one of the best tournament arcs with the pressure of Tyson having 2 championships under his belt but no longer having the team that took him there. It was such a character driven arc that meant a lot because of what it built on. And then it led here, an arc about returning to the love of the game after years of focusing on prestige

Kai vs Brooklyn had Brooklyn so shook that he had to become a fucking demon against Tyson was so fucking epic

Respect to Hiro for doing this entirely to make Broklyn way more dangerous just to mess with his brother because he thought it would be fun. Dude gets a man killed to give his brother a better fight.

Bakuten Shoot Beyblade G Revolution was PEAK Beyblade.

This fight was really peak Max vs Jim in V-Force deserves a video as well, that fight was so damn cool, the best in that season imo! For a blader with a defense bey, he goes *ham* against Cyber Draciel. Even if he loses, that battle is incredible, very intense

Finally some love for the OGs

Ray vs crusher was also nearly as good.

"It's not just a game to me" is a way better line than the frankly weird "Take my love".

I was waiting for this video!! It’s been bittersweet being a Beyblade fan of the OG and not seeing enough coverage of that era during the resurgence.

5:45 you know what darkness and light make together? Shadow. Something so much stronger

Thanks for showing the love to the OG Beyblade series. They need to know where it all began.

Completely agree: Kai showing up and throwing down the gauntlet and then ACTUALLY defeating the main antagonist and sending him on a crazed spiral was so hype. Many animes are afraid of letting the protagonist get outshined by the supporting cast or, god forbid, having the MC lose. (It's also why I think the end of Vanilla Burst was one of the best in Beyblade).

To me the reason why this battle is one of the best in the franchise it's because, it felt PERSONAL. Kai was showing how much he worked and cared for the sport of beyblade

There's no disrespect from me for Ryuga, but it bums me out that people hold him up as the best when Kai had an AWESOME arc in the og 3 seasons. 😭

I agree Beyblade the OG series was underrated i liked Ray growing up and his Asian arc Also You got the XBC3 music on lol

Finally, we are talking about the OG beyblade, people were talking about metal saga for too long now, time for the OG Beyblade to get more recognition

I watched this recently and it might be my bitterness on how naruto ended but I LOVED the fact the gifted from birth natural talent beyblader lost to someone who worked hard and won.

G-Revolution is easily my favorite season in all of beyblade

The best battle for me in the entire Beyblade series, it was a battle between hardwork and gifted talent. Thanks for covering this amazing battle!

The time beyblade was interesting as an anime

Kai vs Brooklyn was special haven't watched it since I was a child but it's cool to know that Brooklyn and Gingka share a voice so does Kai and tsubasa

YES FINALLY! OG Bakuten shoot is goated.

It’s not just Kai vs Brooklyn tbh plenty of battles throughout the 3 seasons are serious af

I love you my guy, CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE YU YU HAKUSHO TIMING THE OG VLADERS HAD. SHIT KAI WAS HAVING HIEI MOMENTS😂

Idk why but Japanese dub beyblade just feels so odd. Imo the English version has another layer to it. IDK if it's the music or the VA it's crazy

You forgot to mention the heartwarming convo Kai has with his friends afterwards and how he collapses and with a smile on his face, thanks and releases dranzer from his beyblade and says his beyblading days are over😢🫡

OG Beyblade is a forgotten relic, bro. It's sad, it had so much drive & character development. I remember regularly visiting the Website a few times a week as a kid after the last episode just HOPING we'd get news about a continuation someday. Years later I see the new series & tried watching it, but it just had none of the charm. Also no awesome Nu-Metal OST.

Metal Fight saga was never gonna live up to the original trilogy. It’s inferior in every way. So stop apologising for stating the truth. “We don’t need to compare them” is just cope for people who can’t accept the truth.

It feels good to be back!

Og gen battles had substance in them which most post og generation lacks... and It all started with kai vs ray battle , bey-battles become more brutal and cold.

I remember back in the G revolution days I had Gaia online profile all with Kai artwork from Google images on it. And watching frame by frame some of the crazy moments in the show lol. OG beyblade was the shit!

The latter half of G-Revolution was nuts, them fights were DBZ level

what was the ost used in the intro? its amazing

Been watchin beyblade and readin since the 90s og fan

i always like your use of the xenoblade soudtrack even if it is restricted to the 3rd game for some reason

The peak battle that embodies Passion vs Apathy. Thanks for showing the battle that made us Kai fans crazy.

Omg the memories i haven't seen thiss in soo long btw one of the best episode ever

Let’s go finally the real goat my boy Kai drip god

Love seeing the plastic gen gt some love.

Pretty sure this fight was at least a little inspired by Ikki vs Shaka in Saint Seiya. Kai as a whole seems to be an homage of Ikki.

Kai was a generational character. My first introduction to that sort of Sasuke archetype. The fight was a great conclusion to his arc. I’d be interested in a full Brooklyn character analysis. I wasn’t very fond of him as a kid, found him annoying and arrogant. Hard to shake off that bias even now, but I’m open to seeing a different perspective on his character.

Inspirational battle

Kai vs Brooklyn is still one of the best battles in the entire bey blade history period, easily in the top 3 fights. Kai with Black Dranzer vs Ryuuga El drago would be epic.

the real question is if dranzer is really gone for good or did kai get him back? seemed like he was gone for good but right at the end he has a friendly match with tyson and you see the 2 bitbeasts clash but that can also be just a symbolism thing, what are we thinking here? dranzer gone or nah?

Do you have in a manga English dub for plastic gen

Brooklyn is such a good character

Like your work

That fight was amaizng

Still the best and most passionate battle in the entire history of the franchise.

Brooklyn is the strongest out of the entire series

If Kai meant to die, why is he showing up in the final episode of the show?

even though i liked the metal series no doubt in my mind the og series did it way better peoples blades were send to oblivion kai was the very definition of him people think ryuga or kyoya are tough sons of guns neither compare to my boy kai who manage to beath tyson and draw with him a decent amount of times whilst kyoya just lost to everyone not to mention kai gave brooklyn the final villain his first defeat before tyson did showing how much of a badass he is mad respects for talking bout the og's my guy keep it rolling

Ok I’ll watch the OG Beyblade abain

Thank u

2:48 at least in the dub (I haven't watched sub) Kai's reason for joining BEGA was to get another chance at battling Tyson. Also, a nitpick of mine, but the Plastic Gen were referred to as "Blades" ironically while the Metal Gen were called "Beys".

Let more people Know about Kai

Nice to see the original generation get some attention.

LESSSSSSSSGGGGGGGOOOOOOO

Kai vs brooklyn is a fighter prodigy vs a fraud copys others move set 😂

Dranzerrrrrrrrrrrr

Kai had a little bit of Chris in him back in season one. With his interactions with Wyatt, he and Tsubasa are very similar yet different. I watched OG Beyblade (Plastic Gen) a few times to see what was different between it and Metal Fight (Metal Series) ❤🎉
