"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.

Ahem! Now then!

Let's have a toast, to Team Persona promoting to Pro level!

Let's eat!

Thanks for the food!

This is like a dream!

I can finally stand on that stage!

X Tower, the fierce battleground for Pro Bladers!

So lame...

Wh-What do you mean?

Couldn't we have picked a nicer restaurant?

The smell's even getting on my clothes...

Don't be like that!

This restaurant's pretty famous for how good their food is!

For dessert... They've even got this huge pudding...

and...

Don't ya think Multi's a little too different from when she streams?

She's just being herself with us.

You think so?

But her skills are real; she's an amazing Blader.

Oh, now this looks nice.

She adeptly uses both costumes and Beys,

and even does a lot as an influencer.

Can I really keep up with this team?

Hm? What's up?

Oh, nothing! You're not eating yet?

I will, after I upload this.

Also, I hate to burst your bubble but,

we're not officially Pros just yet, you know?

Huh? But...

There's something we don't have.

Ahh, yeah, that.

Wh-What are you two talking about!?

Something that Pro Bladers absolutely need...

A Bey Sponsor!

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?

Bey Sponsor

"Bey Sponsor"

Something that Pro Bladers absolutely need...

A Bey Sponsor!

"Sponsor?"

Don't tell me you don't know something so basic? Guess I'll have to enlighten you.

Listen up. Pro Bladers are obligated to find a sponsor.

Sponsors provide the space and environment for a Blader to play.

And the Blader in turn advertises the Sponsor's business.

It's a win-win mutually beneficial contract relationship.

That's what a Bey Sponsor is!

Oh, I see! So Pros wouldn't exist without the support of Sponsors!

This is basic stuff you have to know, all right? Remember it!

Yes, ma'am!

Pass me some kalbi.

Yes, ma'am!

So I suppose tomorrow we'll be looking for a Sponsor.

I've already found one for us!

Seriously!?

Yeah! And the details sound like a great deal for us!

Seriously!?

They want us to come for an interview tomorrow!

Woohoo!

Super hype, right!?

Yeah!

A Bey Sponsor, huh... Must be a big-shot company!

All right, we're here!

Wow! This looks like a really big company!

Okay, let's go!

Oh, not that one.

Huh?

It's this one.

Huh!?

W-Wait, this old building?

It's a sushi restaurant established 200 years ago!

A sushi restaurant!?

Komaba Sushi!

Then, the "great deal" you were talking about...

They said I could have all the Red Bean Cream Sushi I could ever want!

- They're the ones who invented that weird dish!?

- I figured it was something like this.

Hey, there! Thanks for coming!

Over here! Down here!

Welcome, Team Persona!

I am the owner of Komaba Sushi, and also the head chef!

I am his secretary, Meiko Meiden.

Thank you for coming today! I can't tell you how much I've been waiting for—

Head chef!

So you are the one who developed so many wonderful types of sushi!

I'm a huge fan!

N-Now hold on, there!

The Red Bean Cream Sushi will forever be my favorite,

but I also loved your other works

like the Matcha Kuzumochi Sushi and last year's limited-edition Ham-Melon Sushi!

- Meiden! Save me!

Aren't you glad to have a passionate fan, chef?

Wahh! Just stop him already!

This is a little different than what I expected for a Sponsor...

Ahem, I am happy to sign a contract with your team.

After all, I once aspired to be a Pro Blader, myself!

You did, head chef?

Yep!

But I was just so busy at the time with taking over the shop...

The business was in dire straits financially at the time.

Starting with the Red Bean Cream Sushi,

I worked hard coming up with new and unique sushi, but...

So that's why things didn't go so well.

But I've kept this burning determination all this time.

I would sponsor my own team,

and live vicariously through them fulfilling my dreams!

So I have high hopes for you all!

Yes, sir! We'll do our best!

However! My dream was not just to become a Pro.

My dream was to become the strongest of them all.

In other words,

to climb to the top of X Tower!

And so I have no use for weaklings!

Eh!?

So I will be testing you all.

This will determine whether Komaba Sushi will sponsor you or not.

It's your final Pro Test!

Wh... What!?

N-No way... I thought we were already Pros...

All we have to do is pass, right?

Let's do our best!

The testing ground is just beyond here!

A Stadium!

I renovated the basement storage room.

Thanks to that, we are in the red once again.

So the test is a Beybattle!? Let's do it!

Ahh, you pass already, since you've already reached the top.

No need to test you, Ekusu Kurosu.

Eh!? H-How do you know who I am!?

I looked into you for the contract, of course.

Ohh, all right.

Now then, Bird Kazami and Multi Nanairo.

The test I shall give you...

Will be to Beybattle with Meiden! At least one of you must win!

Eh? Uh...

Hm? What's with that reaction?

Are you sure about this test?

We're aiming to be Pros, you know? I don't think we'll lose against an amateur.

Well, well.

That sounds delightful.

Shall we begin, then?

Final Pro Test, First battle!

Hold on a second!

What now!?

I want to battle, too!

It's not fair to leave someone out all alone!

B-But...

Well then...

If we allow Master Ekusu,

what say we increase the win requirement to two matches?

Hmm, well, if Meiden says it's okay...

Yay!

Will you be going first?

Eh? You sure? All right then, don't mind if I do!

What? Why?

Final Pro Test, First battle!

Ekusu Kurosu versus Meiko Meiden!

Shark Edge will be your opponent.

Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

They're both so fast!

Forward, Shark Edge.

She's coming!

Dransword with an Over Finish!

Ekusu Kurosu wins!

Whoa! Insta-kill!

She changed her angle right before she attacked.

Could she have been...

Well played as expected, Master Ekusu.

All right! My turn!

Mm, go for it.

Second battle! Bird Kazami versus Meiko Meiden!

Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

Quick attacks, Hells Scythe!

Nice! Go!

He's being too forceful! Its going to lose its balance...

Let's get 'em in one go! Hells Scythe!

Master Bird.

That is a "No Swimming" zone.

So low!

Blue Fang!

Shark Edge with a Burst Finish!

Meiko Meiden wins!

At a low stance, it can launch a direct attack straight to the heart.

Similar to a shark lurking in the depths before latching onto its prey.

This is Shark Edge's strong point.

That's way too powerful! Who is this lady!?

What's the big idea? How can Miss Meiden be so strong!?

Of course she is!

She's a former Pro Blader, after all!

You flatter me.

F-Former Pro!?

After analyzing your achievements and battle styles,

I determined that there was a 96.9% chance that I would lose to Master Ekusu.

And I determined a zero percent chance that I would lose to Master Bird.

Wha-!?

I thought so.

So you actually angled it accurately so that Ekusu would take you out in one hit.

So since you predicted the battle's results,

you made it so that it would end quickly?

You adjusted your direction so that you'd take the attack on purpose...

Huh?

I knew you weren't just some nobody!

What?

If you lost on purpose, then that battle doesn't count, right?

C'mon, let's battle one more time! One more!

Unnecessary.

Compared to other sponsor companies, Komaba Sushi is a small business.

Reaching the top of X Tower is the chef's dearest wish and long-time aspiration.

If we are to invest,

then we must invest in a worthy and talented team.

The Bladers must be 100% capable of winning, else the investment is pointless.

Therefore, I will be testing you all in my own way!

Okay, okay! Let's get to the final battle!

Now Mistress Multi must win, or you will all fail the test.

Th-That's not fair! There's no way we can win against a former Pro!

Don't say lame stuff like that, Bird.

What!?

We're going to be facing Pros from here on out.

So we can't be losing against former Pros.

Hmph. I regret to inform you, Mistress Multi,

but I have analyzed all your matches until now.

I have also predicted that you will utilize Knight Shield for this battle.

And the probability of Knight Shield defeating Shark Edge...

is zero percent.

No way...

You're still a "former" Pro.

Active Pros are always fighting on the front lines,

and thus, they need to continuously learn and evolve in the field.

And the coolest, perfect, Bey for me, who has pierced through adversity to evolve...

is this Knight Lance!

You've got another new Bey!?

Things are getting interesting!

Third battle! Multi Nanairo versus Meiko Meiden!

Ready, and set!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

What's going on!?

It's swaying around so much... Did she mess up the launch?

No, Multi shot it tilted on purpose.

On purpose?

I see you're using clever tricks. But it makes no difference.

You shall also fall prey to Blue Fang!

Shark Edge! Attack!

What!?

It dodged!? But the timing was perfect!

Thanks to Knight Lance's swaying, it fended off the attack! Not bad!

That's not all!

For what reason did I launch on a slant?

To make my tall Knight Lance even taller!

So it can attack Shark Edge from above, even down in the depths!

Now! The shark hunt begins!

Rainy Lance!

Knight Lance with an Over Finish!

Multi Nanairo wins!

--Wahoo!

You overcame my predictions,

and defeated Shark Edge.

That was a brilliant show of skill.

So since Multi won...

That means...!

You passed the test!

--Yay!

Hey, calm down...

Now we're officially Pros!

Time to aim for the top of X Tower!

You're getting way too ahead of yourselves.

Mmhm! Youth is wonderful.

Today's on the house!

Have as much "Mega Big Red Bean Cream Sushi" as you want!

Hooray!

Mm! This is it! Multi, you gotta try it!

No thanks, my taste buds are sensitive...

Hm? Oh well, then Bird!

O-Oh-I'm, uh, not hungry right now!

You're not going to eat the sushi I made?

Oh, I see!

You probably prefer the Matcha Kuzumochi Sushi!—

N-No, that's not it!

We can serve regular sushi as well, you know.

Now that we're signing the contract, we need to register it.

Have you decided on the team's leader?

Come to think of it, we haven't.

Team leader, huh... Well, it's gotta be...

You really think we can leave it to Ekusu?

Huh? Oh...

Then...?

I definitely can't do it.

I'm too busy with Persona's PR.

Then what do we do? Huh?

"Stare..."

Me!?

Who else is there?

No, no, no! There has to be someone better than me!

Countin' on ya, leader!

What!?

There's an old saying that "the position raises the person."

You might be more fit for it than you think.

Wha!?

All right, then. I shall register it as such.

What!?

All right! Now then, Team Persona!

Komaba Sushi will officially sponsor you,

and we will reach for the summit of X Tower!

Yeah!

Are you serious...

You may use the Stadium in the basement whenever you like!

We've also prepared rooms for you to stay in.

We can live here!? Awesome!

Of course, since we're a Bey Sponsor!

But why!?

How come Ekusu and I have to share a room, and why's it the smaller one!?

Because I've got a lot of stuff.

This is the last box!

Thank you!

Ekusu, say something to her!

So soft~

Come on, man!

Here is the cleaning equipment.

As I mentioned before, we have no budget.

So you will have to take care of your own rooms.

Ah! Yes, okay!

Heeey! I made you all my new Cheese Taiyaki Sushi!

I'm coming!

Let's go, Bird!

Huh? Wait—

I don't want any!!

3, 2, 1...

Go, Shoot!

I'm a Pro now.

I can't keep losing all the time!

Go, Shoot!

Shoot!

One more...

3, 2...

You're not gripping your launcher right.

You can't just shoot randomly.

Come on, take your stance.

Huh?

You need the help, so I guess I'll practice with you!

Multi!

Hey! You two are practicing!?

I wanna join!

Yeah! Let's do it!

All right!

Another loudmouth here.

All right, then I'll be the ref.

Woohoo!

Okay, show me the fruits of your labor, Bird!

They just might...

They just might be able to fulfill my dreams.

Go, young ones! To the top!

Show some grace, chef.

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

I-I'm the leader now!

Weren't you a leader before?

Back then I was the strongest on the team...

Such old-fashioned thinking.

Strength doesn't decide everything.

You must support everyone's spirits and keep the team together.

Yes! Sushi party!

Let's get the party started!

No way, I can't keep that together!

Next time, on Beyblade X!

Onwards to X Tower

Onwards to X Tower!

Head chef, please quiet down.

Yes, ma'am.

Might want to learn from her!
