Blazing Teens (Chinese: 火力少年王) is a Chinese TV show. It is about high schools that hold Yo-Yo contests. It was created in 2006. Unlike other shows in China that were never released (or translated) in any other languages and other countries, this kid show was actually released outside of China and it is translated into Latin and English. It plays on Pogo in India & Cartoon Network in Pakistan.

These high schools construct teams and participate in competitions to win against other schools. Each team has their own conflict and issues that they solve. Often, tight friendship bonds are made between competitors.

This show has seasons as each section. This is known as Blazing Teens 1-4. There are three seasons that have been translated. Two of these (I and II) are live-action shows. III is an animation. Two newly released versions are III (live-show) and IV (animation). Blazing Teens IV or Blazing Teens III (live-show) cannot currently be found on many websites, because it has not been translated from Chinese yet.

Each Yo-Yo has a name that, in some ways, reflects the toy's design. The show uses some special effects (small but satisfying ones) to make the very fast speed of the Yo-yos and the "magic spells" the Yo-yos make. These magic spells are 'battling' and the person whose magic stands longer, wins.

This show was made to promote yo-yoing in China. The Auldey Channel has several programmes and promotional advertisements on these yo-yos, encouraging people, particularly children and teenagers to buy yo-yos and try the tricks. This show's yo-yos are based around those sold in China.

Season 1

The main characters are: Mini, Mark, Leon and Michael. Leon is the protagonist and Michael is the antagonist. Some of The Yo-Yo tricks are pretty common, like the Forward Pass, Loop-the-Loop, Three-Leaf-clover, Trapeze, Double or Nothing, Gravity Pull, etc. The show also has some tricks of its own created by the producers (most of the tricks are for professionals) like the White Buddha, Buddha's Revenge and the Cold Fusion (hardest trick of Season one).

Story:

Leon lost to Michael in the Yo-Yo contest of California and in taunt, Michael said that Leon can never beat him if his Eastern Techniques can't beat his own Western Speed. So to learn more and train the power of the Eastern Yo-Yo power, Leon returns to China and stopped a robery that got into his trip which caught the eye of a school coach which have being given the work of making a Yo-Yo team for JiangHai school. The school don't have the required money to get the training spot and uniform. AS the coach must find ways to solve this problem. By trying to use his own cash, the coach stood on the work of making the team by making the school's Yo-Yo players in a trick show.

The Coach wants Leon to join the JiangHai team in order to make their victory much easier but since Leon don't get along with some of the team's players which once tried to trick the Yo-Yo of a boy by exchanging it against a outdated Nuclear Fission Yo-Yo.

But when the first training day of the Summer for practice of the match, Leon decided to join after all. When training, Leon likes to practice far from the other players to not be disturbed, which made the more jealous players angry and tried to get rid of him. He once got accused from stealing some Cheese from the camp's kitchen.

The other team called the ChengNan team's players decides to cheat by suggesting a friendly battle to see the Special Trick of the players from the JiangHai team. Mini lost at the end but then Leon, which was expelled from stealing the cheese (which was not him) come in at the last second amd beat the other team.

When the training is over, they go back to the school but Michael came back from the USA to make his own team and humiliate Leon to ever face him again in the next Yo-Yo contest of the US. His minions "Cold Cat" and "Hot Dog" comes to battle and see the special tricks of the JiangHai team. They beat many players of both the JiangHai and the ChengNan Yo-Yo teams with their Polar Wolf and RattleSnake. Even the cousin of the captain from the ChengNan team have been defeated by "Cold Cat".

The tournament which have been renamed "Youth Fire" due to the begging of the coach to enter all of his players since there was only possible of 6 players to enter before have been started and by Leon's training of his Yo-Yo into Fire Thunder in order to use Final Divine Light that required to learn Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue and Violet Divine Light tricks first, he made the team exchange their tricks since Michael's team now know their tricks due to the school exchange of a JiangHai player.

At the tournament, the nerd of the team which does nothing but talk was selected for performence of the first part of the contest. He did surprisingly well and got 94 points which is tough, the lowest score of the contest so far.

(not done, I'm still watching, the end is coming soon!)

Season 2

The logo is "Blazing Teens 2". The main characters are the same as in season I.In this the protagonist is still Leon and the antagonist is Timothy.

Season 3

The logo is still "Blazing Teens". The main characters are: Jacky [yaojie] and Liam[lingliang]. Their teammates are: Ken, Jerry[bijiale] and Lily[luoli]. Sandy[yanshuang] is a girl who makes new yo-yos for the team members. They are all part of the Blazing Team. Jacky is their team leader.

Jacky and Liam are not fond of each other. Liam is arrogant and when he got into the Blazing Team, he leaves. After more conflict, Jacky drives Liam away from the team. Liam suddenly learns that he has to take part in the Fire Cup yoyo competition. Ken and Jerry gradually decide to give him another choice but when Liam's father comes along, there is misunderstandment. More happens.

Meanwhile, Dylan[dilan], a world-class champion comes to China with the hope of making a team with the strongest players and thus prove that only Western skills should be counted as 'true yo-yo' skills and the Chinese skills would never come close to the advanced skills of the Western.

Liam, Lily and their friends (Sean[heshun], Onion[yangchong] and Charles) try to make amends between Jacky and Ray[buore] (Super Tornado's team leader and Onion and Charles' leader) because of a misunderstandment from the last National Competition. They try to do this to stop Dylan from achieving his 'evil' ambition.

Dylan leads the Falcon Team. Lily is dispised by her cousin, Takashi, from the Falcon Team. The Blazing Team's final aim is to beat Falcon Team and prove that Chinese techniques are not worse than that of the Western.

Throughout this season there is a constant mention about 'the true meaning of yo-yoing' which is something about enjoying and having fun rather than yo-yoing is for tools. After the National Competitions, there is a lead in to Blazing Teens IV, about the masked yo-yoers. These people are Dylan's team from where he came from.

Season 4

The logo is "Blazing Teens 2" This part is once again about Liam and Jacky. This time they are looking for new team members (from 1A - 5A) to take part in an international yo-yo competition. Their old team mates are overseas (stated in Blazing teens III) so they can not take part.

However, there are two people from Dylan's team that are trying to stop them from finding team members. One of them is the girl (5A player). (nicknames below)

  • 1A - Liam
  • 2A - [xiao kai]
  • 3A - kelvin
  • 4A - Jacky
  • 5A - (english name probably 'Marina' [Malina]). It is then changed to Sean when she is found out of her plans.

The 5A player is actually one of the masked players (Dylan's team). She causes havoc and drives Sandy out of the team. It is also likely that Jacky somewhat likes [Ma Li Na]. [Ma Li Na] continues causing havoc for the Blazing team, even after she is not in it.
