History YMMV / MetalFightBeyblade

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Ginga, often to MemeticSexGod levels. He's been shipped with Madoka, Hikaru, Masamune, Kyoya, Ryuuga, Kenta, Hyoma... and the list just keeps on going.

* CoolButInneficient: Most late game Attack and Defense-types in ''Evolution'' due to their low Stamina, in heavy contrast to how they are in the anime. But the worst offender is BakushinSusanow90WF, which has great attack and solid defenses for an Attack-type, but ''zero'' stamina, meaning it better get a Stadium Out in two hits, other wise it's a Sleep Out.
* CreatorsPet: Masamune can be this for him being a new addition to the cast in Metal Masters, coming in to an established cast, generally acting obnoxious, loud, and arrogant.

** Yu and Tithi. He clung to Yu like a DistressedDamsel when Kyoya was bullying him. And he's always saying that he only goes to places if Yu's coming.

* ThatOneBoss: The DS games have them in [[AxCrazy Van]] for Metal Fusion and [[EverythingIsBetterWithDinosaurs Agito]] for Metal Masters. Van's Belzebrute has insane Stamina and Dark Stream as a special move, which is an instant Crash Out thus giving him 3 points out of 4 needed to win, so if he uses it and has even if one win against you, game over. Agito's Nightmare Rex has insane range with [[ThatOneAttack King's Roar]], a shockwave with range only rivaled by Capricorn's Sniper Shot, which will most likely wittle your bey's stamina down with constant hits unless you can either get out of its range or hit Nightmare Rex as it readies the move. And even closing in isn't a 100% safe strategy as Agito can still hit you with Nova Strike. And god help you if you're playing with Mei-Mei, Hikaru or Ryutaro.
* TheScrappy: Team Garcia, for mixing CombatPragmatist with DirtyCoward. Not even their backstory, which averts HeartwarmingOrphan, is enough to earn them a pass for most of the fanbase.
** To some, it's the fact that they tried to pull off the HeartwarmingOrphan routine to justify their acts. Because having a sympathetic backstory is supposed to make you instantly forgivable, right?
** And among the whole group, Enzo stands out due to bratty personality and the [[MostAnnoyingSound nerve-grating]] "[[CatchPhrase Amazing,huh?]]"

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Metal Masters DS game has Team Starbreaker and Team Garcia's Beyblades, but the actual characters aren't playable. Dark Poseidon is also featured but Bakin isn't playable, despite Helios being a playable character.

* AwesomeButImpractical: In the DS Metal Masters game, Pisces' Distortion Drive. It teleports to above the opponent to deal DeathFromAbove. Seems like a GameBreaker so far...Only the InstantRunes emerging under the opponent make it VERY easy to predict and counter with a special move.

* {{Narm}}: In the English version, Hyoma's NotSoStoic moment as [[spoiler: Reiji destroys Aries]] is...not particularly sad...

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Though nobody gets mistaken for a girl in the series, Ryuutaro, Teru and Jack all have some very feminine looks. And Tsubasa's first appearance was complete with the sparkles that are usually reserved for pretty girls.
** It's to the point that almost every other dude has feminine looks, particularly long hair and bared midriffs. A lot of them look more like women then the actual women.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: "Killer" was renamed as "Evil" in America for predictable (though nonetheless practical) reasons. "Basalt Horogium" was renamed to "Twisted Tempo" by Nelvana and Hasbro for unknown reasons, while Giraffe was replaced with Zurafa. Additionally, Masamune's Ray Unicorn is now "Ray Striker", even though a unicorn is clearly portrayed on the face bolt. Then there's Gravity Perseus, which was given the horribly generic name of Gravity "Destroyer". It doesn't help that the episode it appears in clearly references "Perseus", the hero from Greek legend who slew Medusa[[hottip:*: As in the gorgon with snakes for hair who turned anyone who looked at her into stone]].

* {{Narm}}: In the English version, Hyoma's {{Not So Stoic}} moment as [[spoiler: Reiji destroys Aries]] is...not particularly sad...

* SoBadItsGood - Probably the whole voice acting and emoting on the English Dub. Especially the laughably bad translations and strained expressions.

** To some, it's the fact that they tried to pull off the HeartwarmingOrphan routine to justify their acts. Because having a SympatheticBackstory is supposed to make you instantly forgivable, right?
** And among the whole group, Enzo stands out due to bratty personality and the [[MostAnnoyingSound nerve-grating]] [[CatchPhrase Amazing,huh?]].
* TheWoobie: Many characters have at least one moment like this. Mainly, Ginga after we find out about his Backstory.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Though nobody does gets mistaken for a girl in the series, Ryuutaro, Teru and Jack all have some very feminine looks. And Tsubasa's first appearance was complete with the sparkles that are usually reserved for pretty girls.

* {{Woolseyism}}: Watarigani's Cancer Beyblade (named for the constellation that resembles a crab) was renamed "Gasher" in the North American franchise, probably so people wouldn't think of the "other" kind of "cancer" (especially since Watarigani is a rival)...

* CompleteMonster: Doji. A cruel, sadistic man who doesn't care about anyone in the Dark Nebula except Ryuga and takes pleasure in feeding people to L-Drago. He makes no effort to hide how evil he is, openly mocking and laughing at his enemies as he enjoys their suffering. Ryuga has the excuse of [[spoiler:being possessed by L-Drago's evil influence]], but Doji is pure evil all on his own.
** Reiji Mizuchi is another example. He's a cold sadist who relishes the suffering of his enemies. He destroys his opponents Beyblades ForTheEvulz, even if they've already surrendered to him. His entire fighting style revolves around striking fear into his enemies, which he loves doing. And ''winning'' isn't his goal, ''breaking his opponent'' is. Even when he's already won, he has a habit of keeping the battle going just to cause his opponents even more pain and humiliation, all the while [[EvilLaugh laughing his head off at their suffering!]] If it's any sign of his character, he named his Beyblade's finishing move "Poison Genocide", that should tell you something about his personality.

** Also the first time Ginga saw Tsubasa. It looked he was seeing Tsubasa in {{Fangirl}} vision with the BishieSparkle and all.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible SoBadItsHorrible]] - Arguably either the Metal Saga itself or most, if not all, of the English Dubbing.

* Hyoma seemed kind of jealous of Kyoya when Ginga announced he was his no. 1 rival.

* TheWesley: Masamune can be this for him being a new addition to the cast in Metal Masters, coming in to an established cast, generally acting obnoxious, loud, and arrogant.
