Alright, alright, listen up ya’ll. You kids like that Beyblade stuff, huh? Spinning tops and all that jazz. Well, let me tell ya, there’s more where that came from. You think Beyblade’s the only thing out there? Bless your hearts, you got a lot to learn.

So, you’re lookin’ for somethin’ like Beyblade, huh? Well, first off, there’s this Pokemon thing. Everybody and their grandma knows about Pokemon. Little critters, battles, all that. It ain’t exactly the same, but it’s got that same kinda spirit, ya know? Kids runnin’ around, gettin’ stronger, battlin’ it out. It’s been around forever, so it gotta be good for somethin’, right?

Then there’s this Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Now, this one’s about card games. Yeah, I know, sounds boring, but these ain’t your grandpa’s card games. These cards got monsters and magic and all sorts of crazy stuff. And these kids, they go to this special school on an island, just to learn how to duel. Sounds kinda fancy, but it’s all about the fightin’, just like them Beyblades.

• Pokemon: Little critters, big battles, gotta catch ’em all, or somethin’ like that.
• Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Card games, but with monsters and magic. Thinkin’ and fightin’, all in one.

Now, some folks say Medabots is like Beyblade too. Never seen it myself, but I heard it’s about robots fightin’ each other. Robots, Beyblades, what’s the difference, right? As long as there’s some good ol’ fashioned competition, I reckon it’s worth a watch.

And don’t forget about Gundam Build Fighters. Now, these Gundams, they’re big ol’ robots, way bigger than them Beyblades. But the kids in this show, they build ’em and battle ’em. Sounds like a lot of work, but hey, if they like it, who am I to judge?

There’s also this Super YoYo thing. Yo-yos, you know, those things you spin on a string? Apparently, they can battle with them too. Kids these days, they’ll find a way to battle with anything, won’t they? But hey, if it’s fun, it’s fun. And if it’s like Beyblade, well, that’s what you’re lookin’ for, ain’t it?

And of course, back in my day, there was the original Beyblade. And that Beyblade Metal series, let me tell you, that was somethin’ special. Best darn story you ever did see. Characters grew up, things happened, it wasn’t just about the spinnin’ tops, ya know? It had heart. The original was good too, but the Metal series, that’s where it’s at. If you can find it, watch it. You won’t be disappointed.

So there ya have it. A whole bunch of shows like Beyblade. Some with critters, some with cards, some with robots, and some with yo-yos. But they all got that same thing, that battlin’ spirit. Kids wantin’ to be the best, fightin’ their hearts out. And that, my friends, is what it’s all about. Now go on, get outta here and watch some cartoons. And don’t forget to eat your vegetables!

One more thing, if you like Beyblade Burst, well there’s Beyblade Burst Chouzetsu too. More tops spinning and more battles. I don’t know, all these fancy names, they give me a headache. But the kids like it, so I guess it must be good.

And that’s all I have to say about that. Go on now, git!
