7 best gifts for Beyblade fans

Which gift for Beyblade fans is best?

When Beyblades were first released in 2002, kids were enamored with the unique battle tops. Since then, Beyblades have changed quite a bit and now feature mostly metal designs that make for more satisfying battles. If you’re gift shopping for a Beyblade fan, you can’t go wrong with a Beyblade or Beyblade arena. However, there are other products that are worth your consideration as well.

What is Beyblade?

Beyblade is a fun battle-top game based on the popular anime and manga series of the same name. Much like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, both the animated series and game tend to grow and change with each other year after year. The game was first released in the United States in 2002, but it has evolved quite a bit since then.

Newer versions of the battle tops include rail-riding capabilities and, in many cases, a function that makes the tops burst into several pieces when struck in a particular way. In the Beyblade game, players are awarded one point each time an opposing top stops spinning or two points if the opposing top bursts.

Evolution of Beyblade

• Magnacore System - Magnacore Beyblades are equipped with magnets that can oppose or repel each other depending on which side the player leaves facing upward.
• Engine Gear System - Engine Gear Beyblades feature a unique spring-loaded system that allows the tops to spin faster or change direction during battle. Some Engine Gear Beyblades can make the top of the Beyblade spin in a different direction than the bottom.
• Heavy Metal System - Heavy Metal Beyblades replace the majority of the plastic components with metal components, making their attacks significantly more effective.
• 4D System - 4D Beyblades allow for advanced customization and feature a mixture of plastic and metal components. By changing various pieces of the Beyblade, you can give your top new attack and defense modes in battle.
• Extreme Battle System - The Extreme Battle System features several, mostly non-customizable, types of battle tops that give players new ways to enjoy Beyblade. For example, Electro Battler tops light up and produce sound effects, Stealth Battlers feature hidden weapons and Control Beyblades allow players to direct their top with a remote control.
• Burst System - Most Beyblades available today are Burst System Beyblades, which are made of a mix of metal and plastic pieces that burst open when struck a certain way.

Beyblade Burst app

The Beyblade Burst app gives Beyblade fans a fun new way to enjoy their battle tops. Many Beyblade toys include corresponding QR codes that you can scan to unlock the virtual version of the top in the Beyblade Burst app. Once unlocked in the app, you can digitally customize your Beyblade and challenge friends or other players across the world. The app features casual play in addition to competitive tournaments and leagues.
