Beyblade came out when there was nothing good on TV anymore. It was pokemon, and yugioh. (and a show about food monsters). I watched beyblade on TV and thought it was the greatest thing ever made. The intro had a rock song, the characters were cool, the idea was cool. I found out that there were Tops based on the show and had to get some. I of course had not money so I washed a couple cars and did a couple magic tricks for people. Pretty soon I had enough for 2 blades. My dad being the traditional sports jock thought it was dumb that I would spend my time with tops and animes. I blew him off and walked to the mall a 1/2 mile away. I walked into the toy store and I could feel the beyblade section calling me. I had watched only 5 or 6 episodes so I was not sure what beyblades I wanted to get...I ended u getting a Driger F and a Dragoon S. I took my prized weapons of mass destruction outside to a spot me and my friends hung out and pieced them together. Driger from that point on was by far my favorite blade, Ray also became my favorite character.
