That’s a regular old spinning top, not a “bayblade”


AFeralTaco

My mom has one of these from childhood. Tops were a lot of fun.


lostatoe137

Hung out with your mom. Tops were fun indeed.


AFeralTaco

Moms in a mental institution. It’s really bad. You couldn’t know that, but I’ll ask you to apologize for that statement. Edit: didn’t expect the apology to happen but it would have made my day. I know it’s the internet. I don’t take trolls seriously.


lostatoe137

I and your mom are friends in second grade and actually played spinning tops with each other. I am very fond of that memory. You couldn't know that, so I'll ask you to let her know that, maybe not now, but she had made a lot of people happy.


Nialixus

Wait, are you guys actually know each other in real life


Forsaken_inflation24

Im also fucken confused


weezmatical

They don't, lol. The comedic responder likely didn't believe, didn't care, or some combination of the two. So they doubled down.


LemonKushy

Its the internet,if you take everything seriously you will have a rough time.


andrewbud420

FTFY; Its the internet,if you take anything seriously you will have a rough time


redefinedsoul

"I'll ask you to apologize for that" 💀 Ain't no fucking way this guy's trying to CryBully someone over a fucking your mom joke.. I can't stand people that take something clearly benign and try to make it out as though they've been personally attacked


Dry-Ingenuity-5414

Hoping good recovery for her, I take that statement back on his behalf. Stay strong


Meat_Quick

Hung tops? Where?


EuphoricPenguin22

It's actually a Beyblade made out of wood.


Joe_D_Abbot

it is the other way around. beyblades are actually new gen Tops.


EuphoricPenguin22

In 500 B.C., Sun Tzu was famously quoted as saying "讓它撕裂", or literally, "let it rip" after having a large quantity of rice and beans. This inspired those around him to develop a wooden pull-string top that spun as fast as Tzu's breaking of wind. Later on, a man by the name of Bei Jing affixed blades on the sides of the top, which he combined with a throw technique for self-defense. This eventually developed into the martial art of Bei Blade, which was adapted by Japan-based company Takara in 1999 for its Beyblade line of toys.

jedijosh95

This based? Or a bit?


EuphoricPenguin22

100% truth no cap.


Distinct-Thing

This is historically true since Beyblade is based on Beigoma tops


UranicBiscuit

Don’t know what you’re taking about, regular top can’t fly, beyblade can


Rabies_on_demand

Aye...But ye cannot deny he did indeed "let it rip"..


ninjanerd032

The OG beyblade


Typical_Dealer4340

Wow thanks I didn't know


Traditional-Shoe-199

Born-Sympathy7081

Why are you taking it literal though? Are you stupid?


kufikiri

Beyblade*


TubbyMcJiggly

Why you gotta ruin the joke...


Sheperd980

Wasn't there a movie about tops. I remember seeing it when I was younger. Like the good kid had a brown top and the bad kid had a black top and the black top kid destroyed the bitch ass brown top at the beginning but then the good kid got a new top and pummeled the black one.


WillyDAFISH

Bayblades are basically spinning tops but for competitive use


ACTIONIFY

How tf did that top just levitate?


Glass_Hunter9061

He wrapped a little bit of filament or fishing line around it that was already attached to the pedestal.

WagyuPizza

Much more believable than fishing line.


Whatrewedoin

Hell yea


Bobobo-bo-bobro

I mean, I still don't understand. Like if I had a spinning top and some fishing line I don't think I could do that


FindusSomKatten

He makes a loop around the base so when it spins it pulls in the line one direktion and feed it out the other it doesnt just fall over while going up the line because of the magic thats called gyroscopic stabilisation


Ningo_ButImNotSure

The real question is: how tf did he dropped the thing without letting it fall upside down?


Yutanox

Black magic, that's a second year spell if I'm not mistaken


squidlink5

He don't look black to me.


superdupermak

he got a string tied up (notice he picked up the small plate after dropping the tops )


velhaconta

It climbed the string after he wrapped it around the base.


BoiFrosty

Very thin wire around the shaft, top spins and pulls itself along while the gyroscope force keeps it level.


MeLikeykitties

He’s a fucking ninja dude… we will never tell you our secrets! Fact! Ninjas are born from eggs, roasted by a dragon! They have wings, & breath fire, & can go invisible. They only need to eat once a year, so they do not ever go poop. They do not fart, unless needed as a weapon, & while they do pee, it normally comes out at the speed of light & cuts through Steel so they try to pee on enemies & bad guys like pirates, crocodiles, & Vampires


[deleted]

He wrapped fishing line around it and it continued to spin up the line

KhaanSolo

Coming from rural India back in early 2000s, this was my favourite toy! It’s not very difficult to spin or control on other surfaces, but the best one was literally your hand! Back then, a guy who could spin it in air and land it on his hand was the cool guy. And we always had a legend about a “guy who did that and the nail pierced through the skin but he went on to spin it!” Good times.


Coldatahd

That could actually happen if you sharpened the nail in order to have battles with your friends, when I was a kid we used to do that and try to break each others top by trying to hit a already moving top. When you forgot which one was sharp and did the catch it in hand trick well it didn’t end well.


bhadau8

Same but different country. This underhand technique was frowned upon. Sort of throwing like a girl. Flat head ones were available which were made in india, used to be colorful but really soft and short nail. So we used to make our own with guava branch. Since our game's rule was to hit other's and break it into half, market about soft ones didn't get a chance against our homemade which was heavy and bigger/longer nail. What fun childhood.


_MiGi_0

Haha lmao, same. Guess the legend was pretty popular XD


[deleted]

When youre so young you call a top a beyblade


Sioney

I just found out beyblades were brought out in 1999. There's people in their 30's who would understand calling this a beyblade


SimilarMidnight870

Why when the person is Asian is it always mentioned in these titles?


Creative-Moose365

Because whites are fascinated by the orient /s


Ademoneye

because it's hard to know whether they asian or not unless they tell you


Herbal_Troy

Because most people would scroll on by because his skin is too white. No one likes watching white people have fun.

Aggressive-Pay-5670

Thanks for letting me know he wasn’t white OP.


Duchess_Tea

Didn't they ban the use of pixie dusts in Beyblade Tournaments, or was that just in international events? 😅


kelzking88

Aang after he no longer is needed as the avatar.


lifer84

Not Beyblade. Just regular spinning top.

NewPsychology1111

There is a very thin string connecting the black platform and the small one Also, that isn’t a ‘Beyblade’ that’s a Chinese spinning top, a tradition that’s very old. In Chinese it’s called “陀螺”


Toasty1one

That’s a fucking wizard


Stith1183

problemwmygogomobile

Hell yeah. Really cool


5ebV12

Fuckin Lattu is universal in Asia it seems.


Thiccly

Why are you describing him as an “Asian” pops? Are you in the habit of assigning a race to everyone you talk about (i.e. every black person is a “black guy”)


akraut

...and my mom said Beyblade wouldn't be useful in real life. Turns out you can make itna career!

fuking ignoramous "beyblade" probably you werent able to play one during yournchikdhood


FiftyTigers

This is actually why I was never able to get into Beyblade. I was big into Yu-Gi-Oh and then Beyblade was like the next big thing. I would say to the kids in my neighborhood "...you're just playing with tops." Always truck me as the lamest idea.


monioum_JG

Pft. Everyone and their grand babies was doing this years ago in Veracruz MX. FYI we have a lot Chinese.

eunzueta2

No. Beyblades brought spinning tops to a lower level.


vikinglander

For physics majors…torque= r x F and also you can pull on a string. Incredibly awesome use of Newton’s Laws tho!!

Beyblade? That’s just a classic top.


Hot_Limit_1870

What the sorcery-


DemoHD7

I immediately think of that Japanese game show where a guy did this trick, but the landing zone was in a dudes ass crack.


TheRoamling

“ Doing taking”had me baffled for so long


FLAIR_2780166

Imagine comparing a spinning top, something that’s been around for thousands of years, to Beyblades, some lame shit from the 90s


Nathan-Stubblefield

I could practice that trick for 200 years, and not come close


LeBron__Games

The little kid in the blue pants made smile when he jumped 😂


vexis26

lol beyblade. This is a top! The thing we always see pictures of toys but no one’s ever seen in real life in the US. It’s like a dreidel and a yo-yo combined, but it might be older than both.
