Welcome, bladers one and all, to my second post on Beyblade! I originally wasn't going to make a second post, but after all the support I got from my previous post, I decided to revisit the series and talk about my top 10 best Beybattles! Let's not waste any more time and rip into this fabulous series!
Note
Okay, so I have no experience of the original series or the burst series of Beyblade for those who don't know. Instead, my childhood got shaped by the Metal Saga of Beyblade, so I'll only talk about that. For those of you who don't know about the Metal Saga, this is a quick little summary.
After the Original Saga of Beyblade ended, the franchise rebooted itself in the form of the Metal Saga. The series went on from 2008 to 2012 with over 100 episodes, four series, a couple of spinoffs, and a movie. For simplicity, I'll just say I love the metal saga for its ridiculous over-the-top, reality-bending battles, and this list will only focus on Metal Fusion, Masters, and Fury. I'll explain a short overview of each series through the Beyblade wiki.
Beyblade: Metal Fusion
Gingka Hagane, a Beyblader from the Beyblading residence, Koma Village, travels the country in search of strong Bladers. He meets Kenta Yumiya, a strong but timid Beyblader, and Madoka Amano, a Bey Mechanic. They got joined by Benkei Hanawa and Kyoya Tategami, who started as enemies but put aside their differences and developed friendly rivalries. Eventually, it gets revealed that he is searching for the forbidden Bey, Lightning L-Drago 100HF, after it got stolen by Ryuga and Doji of the Dark Nebula, a secret organization with dark plans. They plan to use L-Drago to take over the world.
Beyblade: Metal Masters
Gingka and his friends meet a new Beyblader named Masamune Kadoya and his Bey, Ray Striker D125CS. Masamune is a new Blader who joins Gingka's group and will stop at nothing to defeat him. Gingka joins the Beyblade World Championships Tournament with team Japan, Team Gan Gan Galaxy. A Tournament where representatives from a country worldwide compete to become the best Bladers. With Gingka and Masamune picked as the representatives of Japan, they won't hold anything back to win. They will give their all!
Beyblade: Metal Fury
In the Cosmos, an unusual event has occurred. Taking a break from their latest triumph over Faust and the Spiral Core, Gingka and Co. find themselves saving a boy named Yuki Mizusawa from a mysterious youth named Johannes. Although Yuki is a boy genius and an astronomer, he is a Blader who owns Mercury Anubis 85XF. Yuki says that he has come to tell Gingka and his friends about the voice of the Star Fragment. He witnessed the Star Fragment (a meteor) fall from the sky one day. That single light dwells within Anubis, and he says that he heard the voice of the Star Fragment that evening. A great evil is trying to revive the "Black Sun" and "Nemesis," the god of destruction, by using the unknown power of the Star Fragment to destroy the world. Gingka and his friends must fight again as soon as they get the hang of their new 4D System Beys!
Beyblade: Shogun Steel
Zyro Kurogane, the new protagonist who looks up to Gingka Hagane and aims to become the strongest Blader, is the No. 1 Blader who remains undefeated on his home turf. To test his strength, Zyro arrived at the town where Gingka and his friends were, but Gingka wasn't there, and champion Bladers, who aimed at becoming the strongest Blader of tomorrow, had gathered. Zyro starts to battle with them straight away, but he isn't used to dealing with the Zero-G Stadium, which wasn't in his hometown, so it was a tough fight for him... However, Zyro understands the walkthrough methods and heads towards victory with his natural guts and instinct.
Will the champion Bladers stand in Zyro's way one after the other?!
Now that you have the low down, let's get to the top 10 smackdowns of the Metal Saga!
