Beyblade

Launched spinning toy

Beyblade is a brand of spinning top toys designed to battle in small arenas called stadiums or beystadiums.

Players launch their tops using a ripcord device, and the last one spinning wins.

The franchise, originating in Japan, expanded into anime series, manga, and video games, becoming a major phenomenon among children in the early 2000s and experiencing periodic revivals.

We used to have Beyblade tournaments at recess.
