How it spread

Trace the origin

Takara launched Beyblade in Japan, then television and Hasbro carried it abroad. It led UK toy sales. Metal Fight, Burst and X followed; adult tournaments and social videos later brought it to new audiences.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
