Beyblade G-Revolution is the third of the anime series Beyblade.

Plot
World Champonship Arc
After Tyson became the two-time World Champion, Max, Ray and Kai leave the team so that they have a chance to beat Tyson and become true World Champions. This leaves only Tyson, Hilary, and Kenny on the team, but a new character, Daichi Sumeragi, and Tyson's brother Hiro Granger, join them.
The BBA tournament rules are changed into a round robin system, with each team having two players per match with up to two reserve players. There are six teams at the beginning. Five tournaments are held one after the other in five different countries around the world: the US, Italy, Spain, Egypt and Australia, each consisting of three matches. The matches can either have two rounds with a blader from each team plus a third round with the two winners if a tie occurs, or a single two-on-two battle. After these five tournaments are held, the three teams with the most losses are eliminated and the next two teams battle to determine who will battle in the finals against the team with the most wins. The final matches work in the same way.

BEGA Arc
One week after the results of the World Championships, Boris, the secondary villain from the first season, returns and creates the new Beyblade Entertainment Global Association, or BEGA, replacing the BBA. The BBA headquarters are bulldozed and elsewhere, the new BEGA headquarters are revealed. Boris tries to fool Tyson and the others into believing he has seen the error of his dark past, as he is apparently trying to help the future of Beybladers around the world. However, they soon see what Boris' intentions are the same as they always were. The Blitzkrieg Boys try their hand at taking down Boris' bladers, but they fail, as one of his strongest bladers, Garland Siebald, damages their blades beyond repair and badly injures their team captain Tala Volkov to the point where he is brought to the hospital. Tyson challenges BEGA's best to a battle, and Boris decides to hold a five-on-five tournament in one month's time. During this time, Kenny develops a new line of Beyblades known as the Hard Metal System, and they prove to be a match for the BEGA Bladers' skill. Kai, however, has abandoned his old teammates and does not receive his Dranzer Metal Spiral, and it is given to the hospitalized Tala. At the time of the Justice 5 Tournament, the team decides to change their name to the G-Revolutions, as recommended by Mr. Dickenson. Tyson still hasn't decided who should fill in for Kai, and they decide to wait for him, as nobody else is capable of controlling the new Hard Metal System Beyblades. Eventually Kai rejoins Tyson's team (and does get the Dranzer Metal Spiral after visiting Tala in hospital) after he is severely beaten by the Beyblade genius on BEGA's side, Brooklyn. The G-Revolutions end up tying up the tournament with BEGA, resulting in Tyson having to face Brooklyn. During the battle, Brooklyn, who has lost his grip on reality due to his loss to Kai being his first loss in his life, manifests his powers to create an alternate Beyblade dimension where he can no longer lose. Tyson, with the support of all the other Beybladers and their Bit-beasts, finally calms Brooklyn's rage. In the rubble, Brooklyn and Tyson decide to have pure, simple Beybattle without the use of professional, competitive skill. The series concludes with Tyson and Kai having a final Beybattle with all their friends cheering on.
