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 franchise after the Metal Fight series, the Beyblade Burst toyline launched on July 15, 2015 while the original manga was serialized in Shogakukan's children's manga magazine CoroCoro Comic in August 2015 and is currently compiled into sixteen tankōbon volumes. Shogakukan's South East Asian branch began publishing it in English in April 2017.[1]
An anime adaptation by OLM was aired in all TXN stations in Japan on April 4, 2016.[2] ADK Emotions NY, Inc. licensed the anime and Hasbro licensed the toyline in English; marking the first time in the franchise that an English adaptation wasn't produced by Nelvana.[3] The first two series were originally recorded between Vancouver, British Columbia and Calgary, Alberta in Canada by Ocean Productions and its sister studio Blue Water. The third series was recorded in Los Angeles, California in the United States by Bang Zoom! Entertainment. The dub would be the final anime voice acting role of Gabe Khouth who died two years later.[4]
The first two seasons were released on to DVD from Cinedigm on October 1, 2019. Season 3 was released on February 11, 2020.
Plot
Beyblade Burst (2016–17)
The story revolves around Valt Aoi and Shu Kurenai as well as his classmates at the Beigoma Academy school in Japan. When not studying, the close friends are obsessed with their Bey tops, creating a school bey club and challenging each other to battles at their Bey Stadium. The friends eventually become friendly rivals as they compete against each other in a competition to claim the title of Japan’s top Blader.
Beyblade Burst Evolution (2017–18)
Valt Aoi, who hails from Japan was a top competitor in the Japanese Championship, is scouted for the prestigious Spanish team "BC Sol" and heads out to Spain. When he arrives in Spain, he runs into some old friends and meets some new ones who end up accompanying him along his journey. Valt’s first battle in Spain leaves his bey, Valtryek, with an opportunity to evolve, making it stronger. Valt and his friends set their sights on becoming the World Champion; however, in order to qualify, they must first take the European League by winning team battles against other teams from around the globe.
Beyblade Burst Turbo (2018–19)
Two years after the International Blader's Cup, the story focuses on Aiger Akabane, 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, Aiger begins his journey.
Beyblade Burst Rise (2019–20)
Legendary Blader Valt Aoi has been training the next generation of elite Bladers at Spain’s BC Sol. One day, rookie Bladers Dante Koryu and Delta Zakuro witness Valt unleashing his newly-evolved Gamma Bey, Sword Valtryek . To their surprise, Valtryek radiates a golden light as it rockets around the stadium. Inspired by the limitless possibilities of this “Hyper flux” state, both Dante and Delta seek the same bond with their Beys.
Dante and his partner, Ace Dragon, set off for Japan, the place where Beyblade all began. But the path to glory won’t be easy; plenty of tough competitors and Gamma Beys stand in their way, among them some of the best to ever hit the stadium. Dante soon realizes he’ll have to do whatever it takes to deepen his bond with his bey, Dragon.
Do Dante and Dragon have what it takes to overcome these challenges? And will they ever achieve Hyper flux?. Here begins the story of Dante and Dragon's rise to the peak of the Blading world, To become Number One.
Beyblade Burst Surge (2020–21)
From high atop the Blading world reign the Blading Legends, a select group of Bladers who set the standard to which all other hopefuls aspire. No challenger yet has succeeded in breaking through their ranks.
A legend among legends, Valt Aoi hosts an exhibition match featuring a revolutionary class of Bey: “Lightning Beys”. Inspired by the battle, two unknown brothers, Hyuga and Hikaru Hizashi, issue a challenge: armed with their own Lightning Beys Hyperion and Helios, this unlikely duo is going to topple Beyblade’s ruling elite.
As the Hizashi brothers’ challenge envelops the world’s Blading legends, a new tournament is born to determine who among them is truly the best. In the middle of this mayhem, there lurks a unique Blader shrouded in mystery.
Will Hikaru and Hyuga be the spark that ignites a Blading revolution? With their solar Beys in hand, the brothers are ready to begin their own legend of growth and adventure.
