Roll your fists, and prepare for your best Beyblade launch ever. The Beyblade Tournament Mumbai is back in town, and is brought to you by aficionado and beyblade collector Anthony Stephen Mendes AKA Tony Beys. “Mumbai is a hub of beyblade collectors and enthusiasts,” says Mendes, adding that there is a larger community in Kolkata and Delhi. “I used to attend and host various events with non-profit organisations, and even participate in the tournaments. But eventually, they all started disappearing.” In his attempt to plug the gap that the community in the city felt, Mendes started his own venture.
“My first event was in February this year. I realised that there are people still willing to attend battles and gatherings like this, they just need someone to organise one,” he adds. His competitions are based on the second-generation beybladers, who borrow from the 2012 series, and like to play with metal beyblades. “The first generation was all about plastic beyblades; these were inspired from the 2001 animated show. The second came out in 2012, and the third generation gets their style from the third series called Beyblade Burst, which came out in 2016.”
