Beyblade Burst (Japanese: ベイブレードバースト, Hepburn: Beiburēdo Bāsuto) is a Japanese manga and toyline created by Hiro Morita, originally based on Takara Tomy's Beyblade franchise. The third incarnation of the series after the Metal Fight saga, the toyline launched on July 15, 2015 while the original manga was serialized in Shogakukan's Shōnen magazine CoroCoro Comic in August 2015 and is currently compiled into seven tankōbon volumes. Shogakukan's South East Asian branch began publishing it in English in April 2017. An anime adaptation by OLM was aired in all TXN stations in Japan on April 4, 2016. Hasbro and Sunrights licensed the anime and toyline in English. It is the first English dub of Takara Tomy's Beyblade franchise that was not produced by Nelvana.

Plot

Beyblade Burst

The story revolves around Valt Aoi and his classmates as they fight their way through tournaments with their eyes set on the title of "World's #1 Blader"!

Beyblade Burst Evolution

Valt Aoi, who participated in the Japanese Championship, was scouted for the prestigious Spanish team "BC Sol" and heads out to Spain. His first battle in Spain left his bey with the opportunity to evolve. With their sights set on the world, Valt and his friends begin their challenge for the World League! Valt comes to know that his friend Shu is killed by a really powerful blader Red Eye. However, in order to qualify for the World League, they must first win the European League. Will Valt be able to take BC Sol to the World League? And can he defeat the world's strongest Bladers? Is his dearest friend, Shu really dead and who is this Red Eye? Valt has many surprises left throughout his journey to become the no.1 beyblader in the world. Valt's story of fierce battling and growth begins as he sets his sights to the top of the world!

Beyblade Burst Super Z

Two years after the God Blader's Cup, the story focuses on Aiga Akaba, a "wild child" that grew up in nature. After battling Valt Aoi, he became inspired to become the No.1 Blader in the world, along with his beyblade, Z Achilles. He aims to fight strong opponents in an effort to become stronger himself. To defeat Valt Aoi and become the World Champion, Aiga begins his journey.
