    Pilot....pretty good too hide show

    This is the first episode of Beyblade. Its about kids and there spinning tops called Beyblades. Each beyblade is different from every other. In addition there are different kinds of styles of blades. There are "attack" blades that are fast and move around alot, causing alot of damage if it is another. Or there are "defensive" blades that dont move as much but are harder to move. Anyway, this first episode saw Tyson first beat a kid in the park. And then he went to battle one of the best bladers in the town. but by the time that he got there Andrew (the best blader in town) had already lost to one of the blade sharks named Carlos. Then Tyson beats Carlos and meets Kai, the leader of the Blade Sharks.

    Great hide show

    This episode was great but not amazing. The writers don't tell you much about the Tyson and his blade eg Tyson's Parents or hoe Tyson got his blade but it was still good as Tyson ends up battaling a guy called, Carlos, to teach him a lesson and at the emd he is about to start another beybattle with a Kai.

    The first episode of Beyblade. Tyson is at home training with his Grandpa, and goes off to a Beyblade match. Andrew gets beaten by Carlos, and Tyson's match with Andrew is off. Tyson vows to beat Carlos, and Tyson gets his Beyblade stronger, and beats Car hide show

    A well writen first episode. It doesn't say anywhere where he got his Beyblade, but says he had it forever. Good enough. We don't want this episode too be boring, so they started off not knowing Tyson's parents, or friends. So--yeah, I loved it and got hooked on it FAST!

    The producers didn't explain it very well. hide show

    This is the first episode of the GREAT series Beyblade, but this one seems to grab my goat.

    The producers didn't explain everything that well. How did Tyson get his Beyblade?, Where'd Tyson get his Beyblade?, Who are his friends? Why?

    I thought this was the good first episode, not the best, but good.
