Japanese Beyblade grand prize winner receives 1 million yen pure gold plate, but also has to pay gift tax due to rising gold prices. Not only that but on October 27, he was forced to sign a consent form prohibiting the transfer, resale, or exchange of his grand prize for cash. In response, Japanese criticized Tomy for not providing a certificate guaranteeing the purity of gold to the grand prize winner and that the consent form was likely illegal since Tomy does not have the power to block someone's property rights. Other Japanese also encouraged the grand prize winner to take his pure gold plate to a metal refiner to melt his grand prize down and then get a gold purity certificate from the metal refiner.
