A new official YouTube channel for GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE — Bandai's popular battle toy, co-developed with CoroCoro Comic — has begun full-scale streaming from August 29, 2026 (Saturday). Production and management of the channel is being handled by BitStar Anime, the animation business run by BitStar Inc.
GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE is a battle toy in which players flick "Bariba Coins" — each holding a Baribii with two opposing sides — at one another, aiming to flip the opponent's coin to win. Since its release in March 2026, the toy has continued to expand its lineup and draw attention, while a manga by Sho Kakemaru serialized in Monthly CoroCoro Comic (Shogakukan) has also proven highly popular, with its first collected volume published in July.
The official YouTube channel shares the world of GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE alongside how-to-play guides and news on new products, aiming to become the one channel where all information about the series comes together.
Why BitStar Anime Joined the Project
BitStar Anime is taking part in the project as part of its strategy of rebuilding popular IP as digital content to maximize its value and fan base.
Creating a New Connection Between Hobby Toys and YouTube
For kids' hobby toys, YouTube has become a key platform — from a first encounter with the product, to learning how to play, to becoming a long-term fan. To bring the appeal of GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE to more children, the official channel was launched to deliver anime and hobby information together in one place.
High-Quality Content Production
BitStar brings know-how from planning, producing, and running multiple YouTube anime series, including Peke Peke! Peketsu-kun, with 580,000 subscribers, and Hirotama! Hiro-kun, with 320,000 subscribers. That experience is being applied to bring out the full appeal of Baribii — a character that changes form between its two sides — on the YouTube platform.
Building a Fan Community Through Ongoing Streaming
With two vertical videos released each week and two horizontal videos each month, the channel will bring together anime episodes and hobby information alike, consolidating all GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE content in one place. The aim is a channel that becomes part of children's everyday lives.
About GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE
This world hides an invisible "reverse side." In GYAKUTEN BARIBA REVERSE, a coin-battling hobby, players channel Baribii — beings born from that hidden reverse world — into coins and fire them at each other. Each coin carries two forms: "Order Side," the face that brings order to the world, and "Extreme Side," the reverse face that pursues freedom, and the deciding blow comes from flipping an opponent's coin over.
The manga serialized in Monthly CoroCoro Comic (by Sho Kakemaru) follows Manato Urakaze, a boy who picks up a mysterious coin, and Rattie, a mysterious creature that emerges from it, as they take part in "Bari Battles" — and the series has drawn a strong response.
