Beyblade

Beyblade (爆転シュート ベイブレード Bakuten Shūto Beiburēdo^?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Takao Aoki. Originally serialized in CoroCoro Comic from 2000 to 2002, the individual chapters were collected and published in 14 tankōbon byShogakukan. The series focuses on a group of kids who form teams with which they battle one another using highly powerful spinning tops called "Beyblades". The manga was adapted into three different anime series that aired from 2001 until 2003 on TV Tokyo. The series returned to TV Tokyo in 2009 with the launch of Beyblade: Metal Fusion, a new series featuring a new cast and Beyblade system.  

Anime 

An anime series was commissioned in 2001 and aired under the same title for one year, this was followed by two sequels, Explosive Shoot Beyblade 2002 and Explosive Shoot Beyblade GRevolution, each running for a year. The anime's story is unique to the manga as a major character who appears early on does not appear until the third anime series, leading to a change in various story points. 

Beyblade 

The main focus of the series is a young boy named Tyson Granger encountering powerful Beyblade players, known as Bladers from around the world. The series follows Tyson's journey along with his fellow teammates, Ray Kon, Kai Hiwatari, and Max Tate, who form the Bladebreakers Beyblade team. The team travels around the world competing in different national tournaments until facing the final world tournament in Moscow, Russia against the BIOVOLT Corporation, a nefarious group lead by a man named Voltaire, Kai's grandfather.

Beyblade: G-Revolution 

The third and final series in the original saga of Beyblade is split into two distinct story arcs. The first arc deals with a new world championship whose rules require that no former teammates can participate in the same team again. Tyson stays on as a member of the Japanese team while Kai, Ray, and Max each go home to their respective countries and join their country's team as they all challenge each other in the world championships.

Beyblade The Movie: Fierce Battle

The story begins with the Blade Breakers enjoying their vacation with Tyson, Hilary and Kenny's teacher Ms. Kincaid, but are followed by an annoying kid named Daichi who wants a rematch from a humiliating defeat earlier in a tournament final against Tyson.Tyson Granger decides to ignore Daichi, but they finally have their rematch on a boat after he learns Daichi's reason he beyblades (His father gave him his beyblade and told him to become the best.). Meanwhile, an organization called the Shadow Bladers are intent on destroying the world using their Dark Bit-Beasts. After they capture Daichi and his bit-beast Strata Dragoon, the Dark Bit-Beast possess Daichi and use him for world domination. Tyson tries to save Daichi but ends up getting his bit-beast Dragoon sealed into stone where the dark bit-beasts were sealed away before, and the Shadow Bladers trap Tyson in a cave with Dragoon. Shortly after this, the Shadow Bladers start to attack Japan, where Kai is (Since he didn't come with the Bladebreakers on their vacation.). Dragoon, inspired by Tyson's will to escape, manages to free itself and Tyson from the cave. Meanwhile, Kai tries to fight off the Shadow Bladers but is quickly overwhelmed. The rest of the Bladebreakers come to Kai's aid and fight the Shadow Bladers, finding that the dark bit-beasts are shadow versions of their own bit-beasts. It should be an even match, but with a possessed Daichi on the Shadow Bladers side, the Bladerbreakers are outnumbered. Kai, Ray and Max charge the Shadow Bladers and defeat two of the five, but are knocked out in the process. Tyson manages to free Daichi from the Shadow Bladers, but seeing as Daichi was possessed at the time, he can't summon Strata Dragoon. Tyson tells him to talk to Strata Dragoon and Daichi manages to summon it. When Tyson was fighting Dark Dragoon, Dark Dragoon tempted Dragoon into joining with the Dark Side, but Tyson says that Dragoon was already complete when he was with him. Strata Dragoon and pesci manage to defeat the Shadow Bladers by using each others strength and the dark bit-beasts are sealed into stone once again, unable to cause any danger.

The plot of this series is scripted differently than that of the manga. One notable difference is that in the manga, the character's Beys' evolve and 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.

Merchandise 

Beyblade has had a cult following since 2001/2002 when the series' popular spinning top toy was launched worldwide.

 Toys 

Originally developed and manufactured by Takara Tomy, first released in 2000. The toys include a 'launcher' – a device for bringing the spinning top up to speed, with either a separate or integral rip-cord. This 'ripping' action causes the tops to be ejected, at the end of the movement. Players eject the tops into a plastic arena, with a slightly dished base, where they subsequently strike each other. The last top still spinning wins. Skill can be used in the deployment of the tops, which significantly influences the way they move around the arena, and subsequently interact. The different styles of device respond differently to the collisions, so advantage might be gained from using a particular type of top against a particular opponent.
