History YMMV / Beyblade

* NarmCharm: While the MundaneMadeAwesome SeriousBusiness of ''Beyblade'' can potentially fall into Narm for some as detailed above, for others, it pretty much makes the series CrazyIsCool incarnate, as these battles with these little tops have all sorts of insane absurdities happening ranging from basically bsummoning the gates of Hell, trying to fire a Beyblade at someone like a sniper-based assassination, a battle through the streets leading to explosions ''everywhere'', a battle annihilating mountains, or flat out apocalyptic events happening across the planet, all potentially because of a simple spinning top.

* BrokenBase: ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'' fans versus ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'' fans versus ''Anime/BeybladeBurst'' fans. More for the anime than the actual game, ''which is saying something.''

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** The inclusion of the Dual Threat Launcher in ''Beyblade Burst Evolution'' is seen as this, after completely skipping the Left String Launcher for both the ''Metal'' series ''and'' ''Shogun Steel''. In general, Hasbro's better handling of Left Spin Beyblades in ''Burst Evolution'' compared to ''Metal'' Saga.
** People knew from the start Dynamite Belial would receive an evolved form, which caused hesitation on whether or not to buy the other Beyblades for its Evolution Gears. When Dangerous Belial was released, it was revealed to have full compatibility with every gear and all at once too.

* PanderingToTheBase: Dynamite Battle is seen as this to the competitive fanbase, although casual players enjoy it as well. This generation has included some of the most solid releases with every single part having great competitive use to some degree. Almost every release is an upgrade of fan-favorite beys, whose parts have their gimmicks taken UpToEleven. Not to mention, it includes Driver upgrades many have been asking for such as Bearing', High Xtend+' and Atomic'. It can be seen especially with the release of Random Booster Vol. 27, whose prize bey is Perfect Belial and its random combos being viable in the DB Meta such as Dynamite Valkyrie (with F gear and/or L gear), Guilty Spriggan and Vanish Longinus.

* ObscurePopularity: ''Beyblade'' is popular amongst children, with ''several'' popular anime and a successful toyline of beys. Despite this, it's rarely mentioned for being anything besides "another one of the ''Pokemon'' clones" (alongside ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' and ''Digimon'') and nothing but the first anime gets referenced. In later years, ''Metal Fusion'' and its sequels are sometimes the only ones referenced, with its predecessor seemingly forgotten and its successor ignored because it's made of lame plastic instead of awesome metal. Despite this, ''Burst'' is much more popular with kids who were introduced to it first.

* TheScrappy: While there are beys that are intentionally weak, they are still genuinely usable. But many agree that Savior Valkyrie was not only the worst Dynamite Battle release, but also the weakest Valkyrie incarnation and even the weakest bey in the entire Burst line. The Valkyrie core's teeth wore down really easily especially with its bound attacks, which meant it was highly prone to bursting for an attack-type, not helped by its layer with rubber. A worn-down Valkyrie I core caused it to lose frequently, even to Single Layers, not helped by the Shot Driver (although fun to play with) causes self K.O's quite often, thus solidifying its status as one of the most awful beys among fans.
* TierInducedScrappy: Pure Defense builds aren't favored as a pure Stamina or pure Attack build. Defense and Stamina often go hand in hand, and using one without the other isn't always preferable due to Stamina covering Defense's weakness of out spinning and Defense covering Stamina's weakness of hyper-offense.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many wish the DB Custom Beylaunchers had more customization options. There are only a small handful of available colors per part, and if you want the best launcher while personalizing it, you're out of luck because the Full Custom Launcher parts only come in gold. Along with cosmetics, there is also a lack of performance-based parts only make making the launch more powerful and nothing else.

* PanderingToTheBase: Dynamite Battle is seen as this to the competitive fanbase, although casual players enjoy it as well. This generation has included some of the most solid releases with every single part having great competitive use to some degree. Almost every release is an upgrade of fan-favorite beys, whose parts have their gimmicks taken UpToEleven (for example, Longinus having metal on '''all''' of its parts, Fafnir's blade being made almost purely out of rubber, and Spriggan being a DB upgrade of Requiem). Not to mention, it includes Driver upgrades many have been asking for such as Bearing', High Xtend+' and Atomic'. It can be seen especially with the release of Random Booster Vol. 27, whose prize bey is Perfect Belial (assuming you got all the beys with the parts to make it) and its random combos being fan-favorites of the DB Meta such as Dynamite Valkyrie (with F gear and/or L gear), Guilty Spriggan and Vanish Longinus.

* TierInducedScrappy: Pure Defense builds aren't favored as a pure Stamina or pure Attack build. A maximized Defense build isn't that viable due to their stats being unable to overpower their weaknesses. Not only can a Stamina bey outspin, but it also doesn't have strong attack power so it can't counter or deflect. Attack builds don't tend to worry about low stamina as they focus on quick K.Os, and a Stamina build anticipates this so all that's needed is predicting a flat or angled launch to let it burn stamina and slow down. Defense requires as much weight as possible, which makes it difficult to pick up speed. This is why beys that specialize in Stamina have a properly calculated weight that results in the longest possible spin time with respectable defensive properties. While few Defense combinations have seen prominence, they are rare and many often favor a Defense-Stamina hybrid instead.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Many fans who started collecting or playing during the ''Metal Saga'' don't like that the metal wheels from their series were replaced with plastic in ''Burst''. However, this is often because they don't know about the original series ''at all'', and think ''Metal Fusion'' was the original Beyblade toyline. It also ignores that metal weights have been used in every series of Beyblade and that having the main contact points of the toy being metal has its disadvantages.
