Beyblades are spinning top toys that originated in Japan and became popular worldwide in the early 2000s. They consist of several parts, including a metal or plastic top, a launcher, and a ripcord. Players launch their Beyblades into a specially designed arena, where they battle against each other to see which one spins the longest or knocks the other out of the arena. The game encourages strategy and customization, as players can mix and match different parts to create unique Beyblades with various strengths and weaknesses. Beyblade tournaments are held globally, allowing fans to compete and showcase their skills.
