but there are the midfakes that there is almost no way of discovering
the midfakes are like the originals but with worse quality
the difference is that they put the TT logo on the box


I dont know how to discover midfakes or if they are legal on tournaments

I think the only difference is that there is a number on the box and thats it

They say that you can tell if the bey is midfake from the box enprinted number on the back or bottom of the box

Most likely a manufacturing error.

I'm 4 years late, but leaving this (necropost) here for the record: this is probably a midfake. Poor printing aside, the back of the box has a bunch of text on the left cut off, which is common with midfake packaging. This is not a manufacturing issue that authentic Takara Tomy boxes have.

As others in the thread also noted, a midfake code stamped on the box will also indicate if it is fake.
