The World Beyblade Organization (WBO) has historically banned parts from their ranked tournaments to promote a healthier metagame. The WBO's X format became a ranked format on July 15th, 2023.[1]
The WBO's X format currently has 1 banned part at the time of writing, the Metal Needle (MN) Bit. However, this was for damaging Beystadiums rather than a metagame related reason.[2]
