00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 20 Beyblade Battles.
00:11To be clear, we'll be focusing on the original trilogy for this list, so if you're looking
00:15for Metal, Burst, or X, let us know in the comments and we'll see what we can whip up.
00:2520. Tyson vs. Daichi – Beyblade G-Revolution
00:33The third saga of this epic spin-off series opened with a bang. When the new kid in town
00:38set his sights on the champ, we didn't expect him to stand a chance, at least until we heard
00:43the name of his blade, Strata Dragoon. It certainly lived up to its namesake, as it
00:55gave Tyson a good thrashing. However, thanks to a little bit of advice from Kai, Tyson
01:09was able to utilize the space around him and head into the eye of the storm with a
01:13devastating final blow. Sorry, Daichi, you're playing with the big boys now.
01:2319. Tyson vs. King – Beyblade V-Force
01:31King and Queen had proven quite difficult to overcome in the final arc of V-Force, and
01:36it finally came to a head when Tyson went one-on-one with Uriel's master. But where this
01:45one gets really interesting is when Dr. K attempts to take matters into her own hands.
01:51She takes cheating to a whole new level by sniping Tyson's Dragoon from up in the rafters.
01:57Unfortunately for her, King isn't one to rely on underhanded tactics like this,
02:07and wants a decisive victory against his opponent. When the battle finally returns
02:11to an even playing field, it's an absolute clash of the titans,
02:15but it couldn't end any other way than with Tyson on top.
02:1918. Max vs. Michael – Beyblade
02:32When the Blade Breakers landed in the old U.S. of A.,
02:35there was one question on everyone's lips. What the hell was up with Michael's Beyblade?
02:40Yes, the leader of the All-Stars was a fierce fighter in his own right,
02:50but it was time for best boy Max to prove to his mom that he didn't need her statistics and
02:55technology to bring home the crown. Trigle's bizarre gimmick truly met its match in the
03:01impenetrable defense of Dracile. Despite all the data suggesting it was a pointless struggle,
03:14Max is able to score a home run by using Michael's power against him.
03:2317. Rey vs. Crusher – Beyblade G-Revolution
03:28Rey had a bit of a rough go of it in G-Revolution.
03:37Yeah, he racked up some impressive wins, but a lot of the time he was a bit of a jobber.
03:42So, when he was matched up against the overwhelmingly powerful Crusher,
03:46who was fueled by his need to save his sick sister, we didn't have very high hopes for him.
03:58And now he's taking down the house!
04:00Despite that, Rey and Trigger pushed Crusher's gigas to its absolute
04:05limits in a battle that saw the Stone Arena crumble to dust.
04:16Yes, Rey ultimately lost the battle, but even so,
04:19he showed Crusher what it means to be a true blader.
04:2316. Max vs. Mistel – Beyblade G-Revolution
04:40Yeah, you're going to be seeing a lot of the Bega League bouts in this list. What can we say?
04:45They're just that damn good. For this match,
04:48things were looking very bleak for the Blade Breakers.
04:53They were already two points down in the competition against Boris' Squadron,
05:03and if Max lost this one, it would be game over.
05:14The two water elemental Beyblades clash in what is easily the coolest arena in the show's history.
05:21A submerged, ancient-looking structure,
05:23it's one of the few times where we're relieved to see a Bey battle end in a draw.
05:3815. Rey vs. Lee – Beyblade
05:41I have to prove to Lee that I'm not the same Beyblader that I was when I was on the White
05:46Tiger team. The end of the Blade Breakers' stop in China saw two old friends become fierce enemies
05:52in this high-stakes showdown. When Lee and Tyson weren't able to decide a winner in their bout,
05:58it was up to Rey to finish the job.
06:04Galleon chipped away at Trigger using some of the techniques Rey missed out on
06:08by leaving their hometown. But Rey fought back by showing off what he picked up by expanding
06:14his world. By the time this deeply personal bout comes to an end, Lee was finally able to forgive
06:26Rey for leaving their team behind. 14. Tyson vs. Garland – Beyblade G-Revolution
06:39Oh yeah! Sonic Boomerang Slam!
06:42Incorporating kickboxing into Beyblading sounds like a deadly combination,
06:47and Garland showed that that was indeed the case when he faced Tyson in the Justice 5 tournament.
06:53Give no quarter to an opponent you respect! Go, Apollon!
07:00It's got to be some of the most brutal punishment Tyson endures in the series,
07:04as each blow from Apollon to Dragoon seems to have an effect on him too.
07:09But the real story happening in this battle is that of Tyson trying to convince Garland
07:14that he doesn't need to follow his family's codes and should instead blade the way that he wants to.
07:20That's the stuff, Garland! You haven't seen anything yet, Tyson!
07:24If anyone battles for the love of the game, it's Tyson Granger.
07:28And in the end, he proves that fun is the true core of Beyblading.
07:33Unbelievable! Apollon has been knocked! We're out of the game!
07:42It looks like your Dragoon is starting to suck wind.
07:45No way! He's trying to psych me out.
07:48The final battle of the original series had everyone on the edge of their seats
07:52for an epic one-on-one battle between the leaders of the Blade Breakers and the Demolition Boys.
07:57Oh, yeah! This might be my toughest battle ever,
08:01but I'm really going to enjoy watching you go down!
08:05But this time around, Tyson isn't just fighting against Tala and Warborg.
08:09He's fighting for his life. Because of the dimension-hopping clash between Warborg and
08:14Dragoon, the arena drops to sub-zero temperatures.
08:18Whoa! I-I'm toast!
08:19Of course, Titan's burning determination is enough to melt any ice that Tala can conjure.
08:29It's a vicious back-and-forth battle,
08:31and by the end of it, Tyson has truly earned the title of World Champion.
08:34We do have a winner! Look! The new World Beyblading Champion is Tyson!
08:42Number 12. Kai vs. Max. Beyblade G-Revolution.
08:46Whoa! No small talk here! Kai and Max are getting right down to business!
08:50It was tough to choose between their battle in the regionals and this one,
08:54but ultimately, we can't deny how hype the second one-on-one
08:58bout between Draceel and Dranza is. It's the ultimate battle of calm versus fury,
09:03with Max's tranquil ocean waves matched against the fiery assault of Kai.
09:08That was close, but you haven't gotten me yet, my friend!
09:12Max is stronger than I thought.
09:14What's awesome about this battle, though, is despite the arena having the deadly electrical
09:19gimmick, the two former teammates refuse to utilize it as they want to fight with
09:24their own strength alone. It's a very narrow victory for Kai, with Dranza barely able to
09:34stick inside the stadium. It just goes to show that despite his cheery outlook,
09:39there's a force to be reckoned with inside Max.
09:44Draceel!
09:48Number 11, Tyson vs. Kai. Beyblade.
09:51Looks like we're about to get started, so good luck.
09:57Good luck, huh? You should keep it, because you're definitely going to need it, birthday boy.
10:02While the first series had us hooked from the very first episode, it wasn't until this battle
10:07that people realized how good things were about to get.
10:10Fire arrow now!
10:12Kai's not about to let this one slip away.
10:14The final match of the regional tournament, this best of three is relatively basic,
10:19but it is in actuality one of the most important battles of the entire series.
10:24The future Blade Breakers would be placed inside a steel cage,
10:28where being hit with a ring out would result in some nasty damage.
10:38The match is the perfect starting point for Tyson and Kai's rivalry that would
10:43span the rest of the series, and we can't help but look back at it with a smile.
10:47It all comes down to this moment, didn't it?
10:49Oh! Kai's Beyblade has rolled off the lip and out of the dish!
10:53Number 10, Kai vs. Rey. Beyblade G-Revolution.
10:58No matter who gets in my way, I will be victorious.
11:03You Have To Feel Sorry For Rey is the only main character that has lost
11:06way more of his battles than he's won, sometimes in the most ridiculous ways possible.
11:12I know that we lost, but it doesn't matter. If we stick together, we'll never lose.
11:17You're right, Rey. White Tiger X is a real team!
11:20Yeah!
11:21However, we can safely say that even though he once again failed to score a victory,
11:26he shone like a lightning bolt in this semi-final match.
11:29Seriously, it gets to the point where he almost goes Super Saiyan.
11:33Ahh! A White Tiger X! Trigger Attack!
11:42Alas, he's still no match for Kai's secret technique,
11:45one that managed to cleave a boulder in half, somehow.
11:48Kudos for trying, Rey. At least you'll always be the resident ladies' man.
11:52We are so totally proud of you, Rey.
11:55Thanks, Mariah.
11:56Don't forget this.
11:58Number 9, Tyson vs. Zio. Beyblade V-Force.
12:03Beat him! Crush him! Burning Cerberus!
12:08Zio?
12:10The final match of this sequel series had been built up to no end.
12:15You were our friend, Zio. I still don't understand why you left and turned against us.
12:21Why had Zio suddenly flipped out? Why was he trying to take down Tyson and company?
12:26What the hell was up with his creepy scientist dad?
12:30Well, we eventually found out that Zio was a robot.
12:38You heard that right. A robot. One who was trying to take the power of the bit beasts
12:43in order to become human. Considering he was armed with an incredibly powerful bit beast of his own,
12:49it's a miracle that Tyson didn't end up getting the Terminator treatment.
12:54Hey, we're buds, and just because you don't have a pulse doesn't mean we can't be friends.
12:59Number 8, Rey vs. Brian. Beyblade.
13:03Good luck, my friend.
13:07In the closing chapter of the original series,
13:09it was up to the Blade Breakers to take down Boris' nasty squad, the Demolition Boys.
13:22With Kai losing the first round, the pressure was on Rey to keep the lads in the game.
13:28But it wouldn't be easy. Rey took an absolute beating from his opponent,
13:32who used underhanded tactics to directly hurt his opponent throughout the bout.
13:40Unlucky for Brian, when Rey has that look on his face, there's absolutely no way he's gonna quit.
13:46Yes, as we mentioned, the final battle between Tala and Tyson was metal in its own right,
13:52but it was following up from this display of raw emotion.
13:58Number 7, Tyson and Daichi vs. F-Dynasty. Beyblade G-Revolution.
14:23A two-on-two match is always a great way to liven things up,
14:26though it's fair to say that Tyson and Daichi had their work cut out for them,
14:30since they were clashing with two siblings who, when united, turned into a powerhouse.
14:41However, despite their Cirque du Soleil routine, F-Dynasty still couldn't stop
14:45our favourite dragoon duo from pushing forward and achieving victory.
14:50They may have put on quite the performance,
14:52but Julia and Raul just couldn't measure up to good old bro-mance.
15:01Number 6, Tyson vs. Brooklyn. Beyblade G-Revolution.
15:11The final match of the original saga, and wouldn't you know it, it's the most
15:15The final match of the original saga, and wouldn't you know it,
15:18it's the most insane one of the bunch.
15:27After losing to Kai, Brooklyn's psyche is fractured beyond repair,
15:30causing him to lose control of his bit-beast. Consequently, reality itself gets turned on
15:35its head, which forces Tyson to literally finish the match while flying.
15:45It's definitely out there, and has a hefty moral serving about
15:50good sportsmanship being the be-all and end-all, but it's still a hell of a high note to go out on.
16:05Number 5, Tyson vs. Max. Beyblade G-Revolution.
16:09I know I'm gonna win this. I know I have what it takes. I won't let my team down.
16:13Ah, Max, the nice guy. The lad. The one everyone can rely on,
16:18and never does anything unexpected, at least until this match.
16:27After the Blade Breakers break up so each can have a chance at becoming champion,
16:32Max goes head-to-head against his old comrade, and boy, does he bring his A-game.
16:39Full power!
16:44Dispensing the niceties, Max's unbeatable defense and improved Beyblading skills
16:50really do a number on Tyson, but once again, failed to land the finishing blow.
16:54Geez, imagine what would happen if he ever got angry.
16:58By the way, I'm glad a friend of mine won.
17:00I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging, but I couldn't have done it without you.
17:04Ha ha ha ha.
17:06Number 4, Tyson vs. Kane. Beyblade V-Force.
17:11It's over. Tyson can't win this battle now. His body can't take the strain.
17:16By far the highlight of the second series, the Blade Breakers found themselves fighting
17:21dark reflections of themselves when going up against Team Psychic,
17:25a group of individuals who came equipped with robotic versions of their bit beasts.
17:30As the final challenge, Tyson had to overcome Kane,
17:33whose sanity had started to diminish after his cyber-dragoon went full-on berserk.
17:39You're very lucky, Tyson. You're about to see what happens when the strongest
17:43blader and the strongest bit beast come together. Ha ha ha ha.
17:47It's a deadly confrontation that finally saw the end of the cyber-bit beasts and
17:52set the stage for the future showdown with Zio, one that almost cost Tyson his head.
17:57I can't! No!
18:03As you fight the darkness all around, no way I'll give up.
18:09Number 3, Kai vs. Brooklyn. Beyblade G-Revolution.
18:14This is such a complete waste of my time.
18:16This says you're wrong. So watch and learn.
18:20Big deal.
18:21There is no other way of saying it, Kai got royally battered in this match.
18:33Despite his impressive skills, he was woefully underprepared to take on the force
18:38of Vega's ultimate blader, Brooklyn.
18:41I need more energy.
18:43Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
18:49With the strength of his bit beast, the laid-back pretty boy managed to push Kai to the very edge,
18:55severely wounding him in the process. However, in the mother of all comebacks,
18:59Kai bested his foe after declaring his adoration for the sport.
19:03That's why I have to win this battle.
19:06Because Beyblading means more to me than you could ever understand.
19:10It's not just a game to me.
19:13Honestly, Kai went through the ringer so badly on this one,
19:17we thought he actually kicked the bucket by the end of it.
19:20My days of blading are over.
19:28Number 2, Kai vs. Blade Breakers. Beyblade.
19:32Look down there!
19:38It's Kai!
19:39After turning his back on the team in exchange for the power of Black Drancer,
19:44Kai fully embraced his role as a villain,
19:47to the point where he was happy to try and steal his allies' bit beasts for himself.
19:51Zip it and fight! I'll let my blade do the talking.
20:00With a frozen lake serving as their battleground, Kai almost succeeded in his mission,
20:05until he discovered that not even he can compare to the Blade Breakers' teamwork.
20:10Who are we?
20:11Blade Breakers!
20:13Yay, Kai!
20:18After getting his ass kicked and his worldview shattered, Kai ends up doing a total 180
20:23and finally starts to embrace team spirit. Took him long enough.
20:27Besides, dude, black was never really your color.

20:48Number 1, Tyson vs. Kai. Beyblade G-Revolution.
20:53I'm just warming up.
20:54Yeah, same here, Kai.
20:56Boy, Brad, this is the ultimate fighting battle of all time!
21:01If you thought spinning tops weren't dangerous, just wait until you see this.
21:05I've got to give you credit, Tyson. You're tougher than I thought.
21:09But every dog has its day, and it's time to put you back in the doghouse.
21:13With the championships coming to a close, it's down to these two long-term rivals to take the
21:17prize. As it happens, the overwhelming power of Dragoon and Dranza essentially destroys the
21:23stadium, forcing Tyson and Kai to battle it out inside of a pit, with nothing more than their
21:29competitive spirits and some serious arm flailing to see them through to the end.
21:39As expected, Tyson once again manages to reclaim his title as the world champion.
21:44Let's just hope they didn't charge him the repair bill for the stadium.
21:48Well, it's not what I wanted. But if I have to lose to anyone,
21:52I'd want it to be Tyson. Way to go, buddy. You deserve the win.
