we see them all the time, and although not every blader in the world has a bay stadium;
we all wonder, "what the base stadiums in the anime are actually made of?". Now we know how
big the beystadiums are in real life from one of my previous videos, link in the description below.
There are a few scenes that give us a hint as to what the bay stadiums are actually made of.
We can also use the Beyblade Burst show and manga as a reference to then use the process of
elimination to know what the stadiums are not made of; because from anywhere you look at it, the bay
stadiums are a crucial part of the beyblade burst show. Given their sheer scale, prominent use,
and the power level from these bladers we know that the material composition of the bay stadium
must be rigid. Definitely not hollow like these bay stadiums; therefore materials like foam, foam
boards and cloths are really out of the question. What? you think blading on a cloth is weird? Well,
the first ever beys- "that's b-a-i-s", they're referred to worldwide as spin tops, and in japan
as koma. They date back over 300 years, and they were actually spun on cloth arenas. In
fact the oldest form of Beyblades or spin top date back over 6 000 years! Enough of history though,
because we know that beystadiums have to be light as Aiger and his sister roll a bay stadium on the
ground with relative ease in the beyblade burst turbo show. We can compare the size of the bay
stadiums in the show to the manga, and you can see that Taiga's beystadium is indeed different
than the ones they used before, and it looks like the predecessor to the ones they eventually use
throughout the manga after the season. There's gonna be a few assumptions made in this video,
so stick around till the end if it just doesn't make sense. Because i'm gonna
assume that all the beyblade stadiums will be made of the same composition, that is to say
that they may appear different, but the contents will still be the same no matter the season
(for the purposes of this video). Some viewers have theorized that this could mean that the
beystadium itself could be made of wood or better yet metal, like this satellite stadium you could
use for a beystadium too! As Aiger and his dad are metal workers who live in the wilderness,
and have the skills to potentially make their own beyblade stadiums (if they so choose to),
but this is not likely... As first of all, wood is a flammable material that, while being strong,
durable and workable it can be ignited with friction. The beyblades create a lot of that,
especially at the high speeds that they're moving at in the anime. Now if you take a close look at
the beyblade drivers when they're spinning, there is somewhat of a spark that is created;
this could be interpreted as heat, but not a burning flame. They're more like scorch marks,
and this is not exclusive to the show. As in the manga we see that beyblades move at high speeds,
and exert a lot of force when they hit. With all that being said, the friction caused by
the beyblades on wood wouldn't be enough to set a blaze, because you see you actually need more than
friction to start a fire with wood. It takes a lot of time to build up enough embers that can then
ignite a fire. The beyblade stadiums made out of metal is a lot more probable, without the
splinters. But Aiger couldn't have been carrying such a structure with his sister if it were
metal. You can see that the bay stadium is a solid structure, and even if we made it out of aluminum;
a solid beystadium would still have to be super heavy for a 10 year old kit to carry. Besides,
back in beyblade burst's first season, we do see that beystadiums can crack, not only in the show,
but in the manga as well. As Shu Kurenai breaks more than 10 beystadiums when he's practicing
by himself, and some have broken completely into pieces! Revealing that these stadiums
are not hollow at all, and well this gives us a clue a big clue as to what it is not made of.
As materials like wood and metal break differently than what we see when Valt accidentally breaks the
beystadium upon landing with Valtryek. This means that we can also rule out glass, as when it breaks
it tends to shatter, (more so with tempered glass) normal glass and tempered glass could be used
don't get me wrong; it's very durable, but totally dependent on the thickness of the glass itself,
and all that being said the sheer scale of an anime beystadium would mean it would still be
heavy. In the final season of Beyblade Burst a new stadium is introduced that has two levels,
one of which is completely see-through. Meaning that at least the interstellar drop battle
stadium being introduced this fall by hasbro in real life is made of what appears to be glass
on at least one level. There are a few materials that while being strong,
and light; can be formed into various shapes like rubbers, plastics and synthetic resins. We know
that if beyblade stadiums were made of rubber for example, Beyblades would probably bounce a
lot more, and probably burst on contact; now not with each other, but with the stadium itself,
due to the high friction. Then, that does leave us with plastics and resin, speaking of plastics.
Did you ever wonder what plastic the Beyblades are made of in real life? Most of the plastic inside
of Beyblade is composed of a polycarbonate. A very strong, and moldable plastic material;
it's impact resistant, and can be made clear like glass, all the while being much lighter.
This material can be made into sheets, and well i guess even a beystadium. Making Aiger's stadium
out of it would be smart, but let's remember one big fact; the beyblades in the anime are made of
metal themselves. Meaning that the bladers would likely be shredding the stadiums to pieces because
of the immense power and speed the beyblades possess during battle. Remember that some of the
stadiums are kept outdoors year round, which is weird because we don't see any cats trying to jump
inside every now and then when the bladers battle, but don't get your hopes up yet because over time,
and exposure to heat and sunshine polycarbonate can become brittle. Worse yet, it's the reason why
in real life the clear beyblade stadium covers turn yellow when you leave them in the sun,
(also making them brittle). The solution therefore lies in something even harder. A material that can
withstand the impacts, and can be molded. This is what i think the latest DB stadium is made of,
along with the windows on space shuttles and armored vehicles; it's called metallic glass. I
don't think it's what the rest of the beystadiums are made of, because as we see these chunks are
not see-through and look more like cement. What? You think blading on cement is weird?
Okay, okay it kind of is, but hear me out. Cement is notorious for being strong, and really only
bring it up because when the breaks happen in the show, (especially when prime apocalypse was
introduced and broke the stadium into pieces, and even when lane himself broke his own base stadium,
actually even in the example i showed earlier with Valt and Vatryek) it looks like a cement crack,
or like a crack in the sidewalk. I know what you may be thinking like, "yo! Beyblade dad,
you can't beyblade on cement! The tips would wear out so quick bruh!", and you know what
you're right. The friction would pretty much pulverize the beyblade drivers,
making them completely useless after just a few battles. Unless you're Valt Aoi, then you'd just
be awakening your driver! Aha! but seriously, we now have a list of what the beystadiums are
not made of, and that only leaves room for what it is, (and a brief commercial break).
The Beyblade Burst show and manga both illustrate different stadiums, and it's encouraging to see
that in the manga the stadiums resemble the takara tomy beystadiums we use in real life,
and have since progressed in size or maybe it's just changes due to the perspective
you could tell me. The one thing that remains a fact is the way that these fractures appear in
the manga, and animated in the show. In the manga, you can see a big pile of stadiums in which Shu
Kurenai was training with, and he broke them all! The stadiums aren't shattered, nor ripped apart;
they're literally broken into pieces and fractured as if it's a very hard material. Now this leads us
to my Beyblade theory. because I believe that the composition of the beystadiums in the show
is a mixture of materials. Let me explain, by using foam cement, (a much lighter form of cement)
and the thin membrane created from graphene, (One of the strongest man-made materials).
A beyblade stadium could light up as we see in the show, not only that. The thin, one atom size
layer of graphene covering the cement could potentially power our character's Beyblades too,
and that's because graphene can conduct electricity. In fact, it's the most conductive
material we know of today, which can potentially also charge and make the Beyblade drivers spark
the way we see on tv. Alternatively, it could also be a simple solution like carbon fiber skinning
on top of the foam cement to give us a cool look, that we can also do at home. These technologies or
methods may never be applied to a stadium in real life, but there are real world companies creating
products using graphene. Making it a clear candidate for future applications in real life,
like unbreakable phone case covers and even integrated flexible circuits within your body...
But i'm getting ahead of myself, the fact remains that these have not been made canon,
and for the most part we may never know the true composition of them. As the manga and show have
now come to a close. I make these videos out of love for the sport. I wish to one day see bladers
from across the world participate in events, just like the anime. I've wondered if we can ever start
a league of our own as portrayed in the show. Find out what it would take
to have a tv tournament in this video, and thanks for chilling with this Beyblade dad.
