Beyblade is an anime series that existed for the sole purpose of getting people to buy toys. So, it was in the best interest of the creators to make sure that the Beyblades that the characters used to Beybattle in the series looked really cool.
Luckily, they succeeded, and there are a lot of really incredible Beyblades in the series that make it hard to choose a favorite. Here are our top 10 coolest Beyblades in the anime, ranked.
10 Hopper Attack MS
Kenny’s Hopper Attack is a really fun Beyblade that feels super 90s in its color scheme and design. The lime green circle interior seems to reflect every little boy's favorite color, and the jagged red detailing on the silver edges feel especially apropos. Hopper Attack has a metal spring around the jagged edges which enhance its ability to attack other Beyblades.
9 Dragoon MS Ultimate Version
It’s probably some kind of blasphemy that Tyson Granger’s Beyblade is near the bottom of this list considering that he’s the main character of the series.
But the Dragoon MS Ultimate Version is a really cool Beyblade, and it does look exactly like the kind of Beyblade the protagonist should have. It has a red and blue color scheme, which are colors pretty often associated with superheroes, and the arrow motif is really fun, like it’s an instruction manual for how to use it.
8 Strata Dragoon MS
This is another really fun Beyblade because of its colors and fun design. It looks almost like something that might have come out of a Gundam series. The purple and red color motif makes it stand out really well from other Beyblades. It also has a cool gear-like design that’s made of shiny silver metal. It’s definitely a more pared-down version of the Strata Dragoon G when it comes to colors, which just makes it look more sleek and impressive.
7 Dranzer MS
Kai’s Dranzer MS Beyblade is definitely his coolest. The focus on balance for this one gives it a totally different look from other Beyblades since they’re focused mostly on offense.
Because it doesn’t need to have weaponry, it can have a more round shape that’s more straightforwardly about the spin. Like Dragoon MS Ultimate Version, this also has a superhero-esque color scheme of blues, reds, and yellows, with a cool dragon motif in the center.
6 Draciel MS
Max Tate’s Draciel MS seems like a little boy’s dream toy. It has an awesome green-and-red color scheme, with a Draciel emblem in the middle. The grey and red spikes make it look almost like it’s robotic, which is a fun difference from some of the other Beyblades, and it’s definitely something that would look really cool to whip out for a Beybattle.
5 Wolborg 4
Wolborg 4 definitely has one of the sillier names of a Beyblade, but it’s also a bad-guy Beyblade, and, if there’s one rule that always seems to be true, it’s that bad guys’ weapons are usually cooler than good guys’ weapons. Wolborg 4 is no exception.
The colors are fun, particularly since it’s mostly silver with just splashes of color, but the spiky design is what makes this really awesome; it makes it look like a really dangerous thing to come up against in a Beybattle.
4 Super Hyperion Xceed 1A
Super Hyperion Xceed 1A is already an amazing name, so that already makes it seem like it’s pretty cool. But the actual look of the Beyblade seems so over-the-top compared to some of the other Beyblades in the series, and it definitely blows a lot of them out of the water when it comes to how cool it looks. It’s got an awesome whirlpool design. The red, orange, and gold color scheme makes it look like it’s on fire, which, along with the blue center, makes it look like the Beyblade Iron Man would choose for a Beybattle.
3 King Helios Zone 1B
Like Super Hyperion Xceed 1A, King Helios Zone 1B has an amazing name that’s completely dramatic compared to some of the less descriptive Beyblade names. And it’s not going to be upstaged by its name alone, as the Beyblade has so much going on.
It’s one of the most chaotically-designed Beyblades for sure, with a pretty simple color scheme of red, blue, and orange, but with so much going on otherwise. There are flames and spikes and a cool whirlpool motif. The designers definitely went all-out on this one.
2 Driger MS
Compared to Super Hyperion Xceed 1A and King Helios Zone 1B, Driger MS is a pretty mellow and straightforward Beyblade—but that’s part of what makes it so cool. There’s nothing that comes across as more awesome and dangerous than a red, black, and silver color scheme; it makes anyone look ready to go to battle at any time. The Driger symbol in the middle makes it look like this belongs to someone in a motorcycle gang, and it doesn’t get much cooler than that.
1 Bloody Longinus 13 Jolt
With Bloody Longinus 13 Jolt, we return to a Beyblade with an awesome, evocative name as well as an amazing design. Bloody Longinus doesn’t look anything like any other Beyblade. It’s got an amazing golden dragon with red eyes in the center, with a cool dragon motif along the edges, so that it looks like the dragon is flying as it spins. It’s definitely not a Beyblade that would be easy to defeat, and that definitely shows in its design.
