In Japan, they have been published in Shogakukan's Monthly CoroCoro comics since September 2008.[1] The plot follows the adventures of Gingka Hagane, a beyblader who is searching for his hidden past. He eventually meets up with a boy named Kenta Yumiya, and the two become fast friends. Kyouya Tategami, and Benkei from the Face Hunters become good guys and aid Gingka on his quest to defeat the evil Dark Nebula organization.

![List Of Metal Fusion Beyblades List Of Metal Fusion Beyblades](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/350737411838-0-1/s-l1000.jpg)
The individual chapters are collected by Shogakukan in a series of shinshōbon volumes. The first volume was released on March 27, 2009.[3] The latest volume is four, released on March 26, 2010.[4]
The anime version of Beyblade: Metal Fusion's plot is written differently than in the manga. One notable difference is that in the manga, the characters Beys transform for its upgrade, while in the anime, they just switch parts or get an entirely new Bey. Another notable difference is that in the manga, the characters started off with the Metal System (4-piece top), while in the anime they started with the Hybrid Wheel System (5-piece top). Some parts of the story are different in the anime version than in the manga, but overall the plot is the same.
[edit]Anime
The original Beyblade series led Nelvana to many awards and won the toy of the year award in 2002 and 2003. Since that time many toys and series had been produced in the North America and Asia, but many of them had not prospered. As a result Nelvana entered into talks with TV Tokyo to revise the series. TV Tokyo agreed if Nelvana would be co-producer for the series and if TV Tokyo could air the episodes first. With this plan agreed upon, Nelvana announced 51 episodes of Metal Fight Beyblade with the English name Beyblade: Metal Fusion. They would premiere in Japan in 2009 and in North America in the fall of 2010.[5] As co-producers of the series Nelvana was able to create the rights for other companies. Toys were given to Tomy Company and Hasbro, and TV rights would be distributed by Nelvana. In 2010 Nelvana announced they were looking at parties interested in the fifth season of Beyblade and the second season of the Metal saga to go under the name Beyblade: Metal Masters.[6]
The sixth season for the series has been announced in Shogakukan's monthly CoroCoro Comicmagazine. The upcoming third season of the Metal Fight Beyblade series will entitled as Metal Fight Beyblade 4D.[7] The '4D' of the anime title comes from the game franchise's revised '4D' system. The '4D' stands for 'different' materials, 'divided' (multi-part construction), 'dynamic,' and 'deep' customizability.
[edit]Season 1

Along with his bey, Storm Pegasus, Gingka must face and defeat many foes. Gingka's second biggest rival is Kyoya Tategami, formerly head of a bad bey clan, called the Face Hunters. Kyoya's goal is to defeat Gingka.Gingka is the blader who believes that every blader has a blader's spirit in him/her.
[edit]Season 2: Metal Masters

Together with Madoka, Masamune, Yu, Tsubasa, and Gingka they form a team called Gan Gan Galaxy to participate in a new beyblade world tournament called Big Bang Bladers. On the way they have to battle other teams: Garcias, Wang Hu Zhong, Lovushka, Excalibur, Desert Blaze, Chandora, Wild Fang and Starbreakers.
[edit]Film: Sol Blaze, the Scorching Hot Invader
The film was released in Japan on August 21, 2010. The film is named Metal Fight Beyblade VS. the Sun: Sol Blaze, the Scorching Hot Invader. In the chronological order, the film starts after the events of the second season.

In his hands, he possesses 'Sol Blaze', a Beyblade that has been passed down since ancient times. As intense battle between Gingka vs. Helios unfolds, extreme weather develops throughout the world.
[edit]Season 3: 4D
The 4D system introduces a new type of Beyblades. These Beyblades have new tips and spin tracks. They are fused. These tips/tracks change from different modes, for example, semi-flat to rubber flat. Some 4D beyblades are Big Bang Pegasus, Beat Lynx, Fang Leone, L-Drago Destroy, Variares, Blitz Unicorno legend form, Scythe Kronos, Omega Dragonis, Jade Jupiter and Mercury Anubis.

This section requires expansion with: Details about merchandising related to the series. |

- Face/Face Bolt - These hold the Beyblade parts together (except the Bottom).
- Energy Ring/Clear Wheel - The clear wheel is where the launcher hooks stay when connected and determines the direction the bey will spin.

Examples include Storm, Flame, Dark, Lightning, Burn, Earth, Rock, Poison, Thermal, Evil, Cyber, Hyper, Fury, Torch, Inferno, Midnight, Night, Counter, Thunder, Galaxy, Ray, Sol, Hell, Gwisted, Grand, Gravity, Meteo, and Cyclone. As of the recent 4D Series, Metal Wheels have been split into two parts, the PC Frame and the Core, allowing full customization and various different modes. (Examples include Big Bang, Fang, Beat, Scythe and Vari).
- Track/Spin Track - The Spin Track helps a Beyblade spin and helps its weight and speed. Also, it connects the Bottom to the rest of the Beyblade helping construct the beyblade.
- Bottom/Performance Tip - The Bottom is the main thing that makes the Beyblade spin and determines a good amount of its Stamina, attack, and defense.
- 4D System - As of the release of Beyblade 4D, The Spin Track and Performance Tip were fused together (For an example: F:D , F:S and D:D )but not all the time with the 4d beys for e.g (blitz Unicorno 100 rsf)
These toys are made by Takara Tomy in Asia and Hasbro in the US ,India,australia and Canada.

They will start by only releasing the Hybrid Wheel System Beyblades. It seems they will never release the Metal series even if they acknowledge the four-layer system. Each Beyblade will come with a Right Launcher and a character profile card. The Light Wheels have been abandoned, therefore Clay Aries will be released by Hasbro as Rock Aries, for instance. Hasbro has decided to give new names to the Beyblade parts, notably Fusion Wheel (Hybrid Wheel), Spin Track (Track), and Performance Tip (Bottom).
It appears the Beypointer device has also been rejected. Instead, special codes found in all releases that include Beyblades will give players the opportunity to “compete against other Beybladers from around the world†on BeybladeBattles.com
More information about this new site is currently not available.
Hasbro has of course designed their own new Beystadiums, including the yellow Pegasis Thunder Whip and the Super Vortex Beystadium.
Electronic tops will also be released, and some of Hasbro’s old shooters will be reused. The Beylauncher will come out as a separate item and its handle has been slightly improved for an easier grip. On the subject of grips, the Launcher Grip will also be released separately, and it will automatically come with a Grip Rubber.
These will be the first types of releases:

The manga inspired an anime production named Beyblade: Metal Saga, which encompasses four seasons: Metal Fusion, Metal Masters, Metal Fury and Shogun Steel. This anime was produced by Tatsunoko Pro and SynergySP. It premiered on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2009, and aired until December 23, 2012.

Manga[edit]
The Metal Fusion manga was written and illustrated by Takafumi Adachi. In Japan, they were published in the monthly CoroCoro Comic magazine, from September 2008 to February 2012. Shogakukan later compiled the chapters into eleven shinsōban volumes. The first volume was released on March 27, 2009, and the last on March 28, 2012.[1] The chapters were released without a title during the serialisation, where they were identified only by an arc name and a chapter number. The chapter names appeared for the first time in the volume compilation.
The plot follows the adventures of Gingka Hagane, a beyblader who is searching for his hidden past. He eventually meets up with a boy named Kenta Yumiya, and the two become fast friends. Kyouya Tategami and Benkei from the Face Hunters aid Gingka on his quest to defeat the evil Dark Nebula organization and Ryuga, a man with the Legendary Bey known as Lightning L-Drago. One of the recruits of the Dark Nebula Organization is Tsubasa Otori.
Anime[edit]
The original Beyblade series led Nelvana to many awards and won the toy of the year award in 2002 and 2003. Since then, many toys and series have been produced in North America and Asia, but many were not as well received as the original series. As a result, Nelvana entered into talks with TV Tokyo to revise the series. TV Tokyo agreed if Nelvana would be co-producer for the series and if TV Tokyo could air the episodes first. The new series was thus produced by Tatsunoko Pro and SynergySP, and co-produced by Nelvana, who announced the release of 51 episodes of Metal Fight Beyblade, named Beyblade: Metal Fusion in English.

The first season of the series aired in Japan's TV Tokyo between April 5, 2009, and March 28, 2010.[2] It premiered in North America in the fall of 2010 to YTV and Cartoon Network.[3] In 2010, Nelvana announced that they were looking at parties interested in the fifth season of Beyblade and the second season of the Metal Saga, to go under the name Metal Masters.[4] This season aired in Japan between April 4, 2010, and March 27, 2011. The sixth season for the overall series was announced in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic magazine. The third season of the Metal Fight Beyblade series will entitled as Metal Fight Beyblade 4D.[5] The '4D' of the anime title comes from the game franchise's revised '4D' system. The '4D' stands for 'different' materials, 'divided' (multi-part construction), 'dynamic,' and 'deep' customizability. This season, also known as Beyblade: Metal Fury, aired between April 3, 2011 and April 1, 2012. The fourth season, Shogun Steel, aired in Japan between April 8, 2012, and December 23, 2012. Episodes 39–45 of this season were released on DVD on August 27, 2013, and September 25, 2013.
The plot of the anime version of Metal Fight Beyblade slightly differs from that of the manga. One notable difference is that in the manga, the Beys transform for their upgrades, while in the anime, the characters just switch parts or get an entirely new Bey. Another difference is that, in the manga, the characters started with the Metal System (4-piece top), while in the anime they started with the Hybrid Wheel System (5-piece top).
Season 1: Metal Fusion[edit]
Beyblade: Metal Fusion is the first season of the Metal Saga. The series stars Gingka Hagane, a talented blader traveling all around Japan to get stronger so he can defeat the Dark Nebula, an evil organization who is also responsible for the supposed death of Gingka's father, Ryo Hagane. Gingka aims to recover the forbidden bey, Lightning L-Drago, which has been stolen by the Dark Nebula to use its powers to fulfill their wicked ambitions. Along with his bey, Storm Pegasus, Gingka must face and defeat many foes. Gingka's second biggest rival is Kyoya Tategami, formerly head of a bad blader group, called the Face Hunters. Kyoya's goal is to defeat Gingka. Gingka is the blader who believes that every blader has a blader's spirit in him/her. The Dark Nebula recruits a blader named Ryuga, who is given L-Drago. He travels around the world, defeating and either recruiting or destroying the beyblades of other bladers. Gingka battles Ryuga many times but is always defeated. His friends are also defeated, including Kyoya. There is a tournament that the Dark Nebula has secretly organized called Battle Bladers, and Gingka hopes to battle Ryuga in the final match. Gingka wins the match with help from his friends, Madoka, Kenta, Benkei, Hyoma, and Hikaru, along with support from his former enemies, Kyoya and Phoenix, a masked, mysterious blader that appears at the best times, often saving Gingka, his friends, and his rivals. In a fierce battle with Doji, the head of the Dark Nebula, Phoenix saves Hyoma and Kenta. After Gingka arrives, the ceiling begins to collapse, and a broken piece breaks Phoenix's mask, revealing that Phoenix is Ryo, Gingka's father. Ryo explains how Storm Pegasus and the Lightning L-Drago came into existence. After this event it is Kyoya vs Ryuga, in which Kyoya starts off great but once the spirits of L-Drago enter and consume Ryuga's body he cannot hold his ground. Ryuga then explains that it is Gingka's fault that everyone of his friends have been absorbed by the vicious L-Drago. It is the final battle and Ryuga seems to be using his full power against Gingka. Realizing that his friends will always be with him, he retaliates and calls for Pegasus. Before he can do that, it seems that L-Drago is trying to absorb Ryuga himself, changing him into a dragon/monster-like form. Gingka's friends are extremely worried and confused until Ryo comes and explains that nobody had been able to control L-Drago more than Ryuga. Furthermore, Ryo explains that the Lightning L-Drago is responsible for Ryuga's misbehavior. After that Gingka realizes that he needs to save Ryuga and free him of the dark power held in Lightning L-Drago. He uses a new special move, Galaxy Nova, and defeats L-Drago. Ryuga walks away disappointed, but not because he lost, but because he could not control Lightning L-Drago. Gingka tries to pick up Pegasus but Pegasus disappears because it went past its limits numerous times. Ryo reassures Gingka that Pegasus will come back, the crew then celebrate with Hikaru, Tsubasa and Kyoya, who have just been released from hospital.
Season 2: Metal Masters[edit]
Beyblade: Metal Masters, also known in Japan as Metal Fight Explosive Beyblade (メタルファイトベイブレード爆Metaru Faito Beiburēdo Baku), is the second season of the Metal Saga.

Spin-off[edit]
In North America, BeyWheelz was created due to the fact that Beyblade: Metal Fury episodes were cut to thirteen minutes from the 27th episode on, to share its time-slot with Cross Fight B-Daman. International versions of Metal Fury thus consist of 39 thirty-minute episodes, with the thirteen episodes of BeyWheelz completing the 52-episode season. This anime does not follow Metal Saga and instead takes place in a completely different universe where Bladers are called Wheelers and use BeyWheelz, wheel versions of existing Beyblades.
Video games[edit]
The first video game to be released from the Beyblade: Metal Fusion series was 'Metal Fight Beyblade DS', which debuted on March 26, 2009 for the Nintendo DS.[6] The majority of the games produced so far have only been released in Japan, though Hudson Soft has localized the second Nintendo DS game and the Wii game for North America, which is called 'Battle Fortress'.[7] So far, all dedicated Metal Fight Beyblade games have been developed and published by Hudson.[8] The most recent Metal Fight Beyblade video game to be released was 'Metal Fight Beyblade: Choujou Kessen!

Metal Saga toyline[edit]
4D Ultimate System[edit]
The 4D System continues on from the HWS System, adding on some gimmicks to the parts:
![Beyblade Beyblade](https://www.dhresource.com/0x0s/f2-albu-g3-M01-F6-3B-rBVaHFTzOQGAZDSNAAGf_2pC3ts896.jpg/1pcs-beyblade-metal-fusion-beyblade-wing.jpg)
- Face Bolt: These hold the Beyblade parts together (except the Performance Tip).
- Energy Ring: The Energy Ring is where the launcher hooks stay when connected and determines the direction the bey will spin. In three cases in this System, the Energy Ring is not used (Variares D:D, L-Drago Destructor F:S and L-Drago Guardian GB145MB).
- 4D Metal Wheel: Similar to the Fusion Wheel, a 4D Wheel is the part that helps attack other Beyblades. The main difference between the two types is that the 4D Wheel is composed of three or two parts, rather than one: Metal Frame, PC Frame and the Core. By using these three components in different positions, the Bey's contact points can change.
- Performance Tip: The Performance tip is a part of the bey that makes it move and spin.
Zero-G System[edit]
The Zero-G Season introduced a reformed system:
- Stone Face: These hold the Beyblade parts together (except the Performance Tip). Smaller and Thinner than the HWS Face Bolt.
- Chrome Wheel: The Zero-G equivalent of the HWS Fusion Wheel. Generally weighing around 30-35 grams and is half as thick as a typical HWS Fusion Wheel. Two Chromium Wheels can be clipped together (one replacing the Crystal Wheel), increasing the weight of the Bey.
- Crystal Wheel: The Zero-G equivalent of the HWS Energy Ring. Decides what Element a Bey will be and changes the contact points of the Chromium Wheel.
- Spin Track: The Spin Track helps a Beyblade spin and helps its weight and speed. It also connects the Performance Tip to the rest of the Beyblade, helping construct the beyblade.
- Performance Tip: The Performance Tip is the main thing that makes the Beyblade spin, chooses its movement pattern and determines a good amount of its Attack, Defense, and Stamina. Unlike in the previous systems, the performance tips perform differently in a special stadium called a Zero-G Stadium, which sways depending on the movement of the beyblades. Stamina type tips become defense type tips and vice versa, and attack type tips become better suited to the Zero-G Stadium made specifically for Zero-G Beyblades.
All of these toys are made by Takara Tomy in Japan Hasbro in the USA, Australia and Canada , Europe , India and by Sonokong in South Korea.
