"X." That which enchants and captivates people.

Is Beyblade a game? A sport?

Reaching extreme top speeds,

X takes the game to the next level.

X, all in the palm of your hand.

Xtreme Dash! Burst!

Xtreme Finish!

And we have just witnessed the birth of the first ever champions of X Tower!

The winners who have triumphed over all Bladers,

led by Chrome Ryugu, Team Pendragon!

With an astounding zero losses!

Their name will surely become legendary.

Here at X Tower, the pros are crowding in! Let the top-tier battles begin!

Open my heart to the new world before me

I promise to take you, there's nothing stopping us now

In this age of hopelessness, cynicism,

and unsolved problems, what's your take?

X.

Whoa!

I'm finally here! X City!

Cities are amazing!

So this is every Blader's holy ground!

I'm gonna go pro here no matter what it takes.

We're aiming for the top! We're gonna conquer X Tower!

You're always so confident, Bird!

We'll be countin' on ya since you're our team leader!

Leave it to me!

Before we can battle against pros,

we have to win some amateur battles first.

Let's hurry and sign up!

Where's the hall?

Let's see... Buses to X City...

Let's run there!

What!?

This is good training to become a pro!

He's always like this...

Wow, so this is the venue for amateur battles?

I entered us in! We'll be up soon!

Then we don't have time to prepare!

I'm hella ready!

I've been training like crazy this past month for this!

Time to show off the fruits of my labor!

Guess it's alright, we're just against amateurs.

They'll be easy pickings for Bird!

What's up, everybody!? This is the Amateur Arena!

This place is the gateway to success! Win here, and you get a shot at the pros!

Each block is running some blazing hot battles right now!

We can even hear the cheering from here!

In the blue corner, the Albatross Strikers.

The first Blader will be Bird Kazami.

- In the red corner... - Hold it right there!

Team Phalanx!

Our team will be the opponent for this battle.

Isn't Phalanx a pro team?

Why are they in the Amateur Arena?

The average level of Bladers has fallen in recent years.

X Tower is the arena for the highest level of Beybattles.

In order to maintain those standards,

we stay here at the gate to screen through the prospectives.

Screen through, meaning...

They're here to crush rookies.

Those guys are unlucky.

I dunno what this rookie crushing is about, but all I gotta do is win!

I trained like crazy for today!

Yeah! Who cares if they're pros!?

We'll show you what we're made of!

We'll beat you and go pro!

Alright then! Team Albatross Strikers,

Bird Kazami versus Team Phalanx, Takumi Ishiyama!

First battle!

Countin' on you, partner!

Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

Go~! Strike Hawk!

Stone Mont Blanc with an Over Finish!

Takumi Ishiyama wins!

It was... instant...

My Strike Hawk...

You said you trained hard for a month?

What a joke. I've been training for 10 years.

What are you...?

Wait!

Don't insult pros like this.

Now leave.

And never touch a Bey again, or else.

Team Albatross Strikers withdraws from the match.

Therefore, Team Phalanx takes the win!

- What the heck!?

The audience is filled with anger! Disheartened comments galore!

What a disappointment!

What? You want to disband the team?

Why all of a sudden!?

Today's loss made it clear.

We'll never become pros.

You're giving up!? I thought we were gonna make it to the top!?

Even if you can't win, then we'd do even worse...

Then let's train more! We can do it, as long as we work hard!

We just gotta train!

Not this again...

What makes you so sure!?

There's no guarantee we'll get stronger even if we train like crazy!

It'll just be a waste of time if we can't win.

You're always on about training...

It's not fun anymore.

Battling with you...

You suck at Blading.

Fun, huh... Yeah, guess I forgot about that.

But if we wanna be pros, all we can do is work hard and train.

Talking about fun...

Life was better at our hometown.

We were unbeatable.

Beyblading every day was super fun.

Hey, hello down there!

Yo.

WHOA! What the-!? Who the heck are you!?

It's a little rude to fall over in fear just from looking at my face, you know?

I can't "see" your face, dude!

What's your name?

Huh?

Bird Kazami. Do you have business with me?

Your teammates just abandoned you, right?

You were watching!?

Beybattles are conducted with teams of three, generally.

Less members puts you at a disadvantage.

So! I thought you might be in search of new team members!

You want me to team up with you?

Wait, isn't that Bey...

Chrome Ryugu's "Dran Sword!?"

Why do you have it!?

Huh? Because it's my Bey.

Oh, I see, it's yours...

Yup, yup.

Don't lie to me!!!

It's a fake with the design stolen, isn't it?

It's probably nowhere near as strong as the real one.

You shouldn't buy knock-offs even if they're cheap!

You think so?

I know so!

This is the problem with you amateurs...

Well, whatever, that doesn't matter.

What's important is whether you'll let me be your teammate or not.

Your journey to becoming a pro will be a lot harder solo.

So, you've got no choice!

It's settled!

Wait, wait! Aren't teams supposed to be three people?

We'll be fine! We can battle with just two.

Wow! It's poppin' in here!

This your first time here?

Nah, just been a looong time.

Oh yeah, what's your name?

Hm? Oh, right. Let's see~.

Call me "Kamen X!"

X!?

What the heck's X mean?

It's a secret~.

All right! Let's find a Beybattle, shall we?

Ugh, I don't even have a Bey right now.

Huh? Why?

Well...

My Bey!

So weak. You don't have the right to aim for pro level.

Wow! What a jerk!

Didn't know Bladers like them were still around, huh!

X, we really should avoid him at all costs. He's the one who...

Huh?

I challenge you to a Beybattle!

Whoa, hey!?

What the heck are you doing!?

Ahaha, he's like a horrible villain, so I thought it'd be fun to fight him!

You idiot! You really shouldn't pick a fight with these guys!

Because they're...

Official pros!

You there.

I thought I told you never to touch a Bey ever again.

You are weak, therefore you don't deserve to have a Bey!

Can't believe you can't even understand something so simple, it's comical.

Very true.

Hilarious!

- Ahahahah! - Why are you laughing!?

Don't get me wrong,

I'm just laughing because he's talking nonsense.

I don't see how Bird being weak

has anything to do with deserving a Bey.

Doesn't matter if you're weak or have no talent.

'Cuz the real winners are the ones who have fun, you know?

Quit talking nonsense. Beyblade isn't like playing house.

Also,

If you're going to say that weaklings can't play with Beys,

Then by that logic, you should quit right now, too.

Hah. You're a funny kid.

All right then, let's have a Beybattle.

I'll show you two how scary a pro Blader can be.

What's up, everybody!

Pros versus an amateur team!

This battle's got excited comments, views, and tips comin' in like crazy!

Without further ado, Team Phalanx

will be going up against, uhm, who again?

What is your team name?

Huh? Team name?

Let's go with... Team Persona.

P-Persona?

It means wearing a mask, or disguise.

Cool, right?

Sure...

Okay! Team Phalanx versus Team Persona!

This match will be held as an exhibition match,

so the winner will be the team to hit two wins!

What the heck are you thinking!?

Hm?

If you lose after trash talking him like that, we'll be a laughing stock here!

It'll be fine.

Can you even win this!?

Win? That doesn't matter.

Beyblade's just a game.

Let's just have fun!

It's over...

The first Blader from Team Phalanx will be Genri Sayou!

Versus! Team Persona's Kamen X!

Hey, isn't that Dran Sword?

It's probably a replica. Rare to see one, though...

What's up with the mask?

First battle!

I can't believe he said Beyblade's just a game.

And he calls himself a Blader!?

He's up against pros.

He'll lose in an instant with that mindset.

Bird...

Earlier you asked me what "X" meant, right?

Huh? Oh, yeah...

Watch closely.

Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

Instant death!

Yes!

Dran Sword with an Over Finish!

Kamen X wins!

Incredible! Finished in an instant!

Team Persona takes the first win!

Wh-What the heck just happened?

I couldn't see it. Barely a second passed by,

and it was over.

Yay, Bird!

I let my guard down.

So you did, did you?

Let me see your Bey.

Huh? Okay...

Then quit being a pro right now.

Beyblade isn't a game.

Wahahaha! Look, Bird!

He's wrecking his own teammate's Bey!

-Look! See? Ahahahah... -Keep me out of this, please... I'm begging you.

Now then, Team Persona leads with one win.

If they win the next one, they take the match.

The next opponent against Team Persona's Kamen X

will be Team Phalanx's leader, Takumi Ishiyama!

Second battle!

Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

So fast! Will this speed do it...!?

Stone Mont Blanc takes the center!

Like a Hoplite in a phalanx,

he secures the center with an impenetrable defense!

All within my expectations. Kamen's Bey is certainly fast,

But such speed is not uncommon in the professional league.

Stone Mont Blanc is a Defense type.

Attack types are at an overwhelming disadvantage!

I can't lose!

An iron defense! Dran Sword's attacks have no effect!

You called Beyblade a game, didn't you?

You're wrong! I have trained for 10 years!

All of our hard work and achievements

are what makes us pros powerful!

He's right. One month is nothing.

Being a pro means working yourself to the bone,

and gaining strength through suffering.

I haven't done nearly enough...

Hard work?

I've never thought of Beyblading as hard work.

It's useless! Your Bey will just lose momentum.

When did I start thinking of Beyblading as hard work?

Did I feel like it was work back then?

No.

I had so much fun seeing how each launch stance completely changed how my Bey moved.

I loved how fast it was, how thrilling the collisions were!

Winning made me happy. Losing made me frustrated.

But I shot, and shot, and shot.

Because it was fun!

Because Beyblade was the best game ever!

His Bey is spinning slower! Is this the end!?

That trajectory...

It's fun because it's a game.

And when something is fun, you want to get better at it.

And that's why...!

Now! Don't blink, or you'll miss it!

I'll show you something you can't normally see.

He's accelerating!

He's lined his gear up with the extreme line!

All his stupid attacks were for this plan!?

He disappeared!

No! It's just too fast!

It's so fast, you can't see it! That's "X!"

Xtreme Dash!

Dran Sword with an Over Finish!

Kamen X wins!

And the winner of the exhibition match is Team Persona!

No way...

Wow! A flood of celebratory star reacts for Persona!

We won against pros...

Could he be...?

Good work today!

Mm! Delish!

Gotta have sushi for the victory feast!

You like sushi...?

Here, you have some too, Bird.

I recommend the limited edition red bean cream sushi!

Yuck, no!

Anyway, will you tell me who you really are now?

You're super strong.

Only pros can beat pros.

And plus, you have that Bey.

There's only one answer for this.

That Dran Sword is the real deal,

and you must be...

Chrome Ryugu!

Wrong guy.

Who the heck are you!?

Ehhh, seriously!? You really thought I was Chrome Ryugu?

I'm so sorry, my mistake.

"There's only one answer for this."

Stop! I'm so embarrassed!

Can't get much more embarrassing than talking so confidently and being totally wrong.

I better watch out myself.

Come on, I said quit it!

Wait, then are you...

Ekusu Kurosu?

Oh wow, you sure know your stuff.

Wait, why are you here?

You're Ekusu Kurosu,

Chrome Ryugu's teammate!

That's right!

But you're X Tower's champion...

Why'd you come fight in an amateur match...?

Why? Hm...

Do I need a reason to go out and play?

Standing strong with you, battling bravely with you

Protecting our fighting spirit

Never turning away

On to the next world

Right now, zoom in on ya

Zoom zoom, let's have some fun

Zoom zoom, live in the moment

So you're a former champion now? Seriously?

Yep.

Hard to believe after seeing you battle...

Hey! Quit eating sushi!

Have you ever tried it?

It's red bean cream sushi!

- No way! Who'd ever eat that!? - Then try it!

Not bad, right?

Uh, well...

N-No!

Come on, tell me more about X!

Right now it's sushi time.

Next time on Beyblade X:

"The Rainbow-Colored Assassin"

The Rainbow-Colored Assassin

Hey!

Who's that?
