Synopsis:

Years following a global conflict known as the Nemesis Crisis, the world grapples with widespread devastation and dwindling hope. Beyblading, once a popular pastime, has largely faded from public consciousness. Otori Tsubasa, now leading the World Beyblade Association (WBBA), strives to reignite both human spirit and the sport's appeal through a revolutionary new battling style: Zero-G. He believes a new generation of bladers can help rebuild. The story follows Zero Kurogane, a young individual whose path intersects with Ginga Hagane, a celebrated figure from the Nemesis Crisis. Driven by ambition to become the best, Zero must navigate a landscape shaped by past trauma and the weight of expectations as he seeks his place in a world yearning for renewal through competition. The series explores themes of perseverance, legacy, and the power of community in the face of adversity.

Reviews:

  • User yusuf1993 (Score: 8/10):
    The development of metal series has reaching its climax in this season. That's when the synchrom combination being introduced, it has a great potential, not only in anime but also in a competitive battle among the previous metal series that ever released. The metal design and curve deserve more elaboration and variations if it's not because the series has to be ended in 38 episodes. The gender distribution is fair, since the female blader is able to prove herself to be distinctive and equally competitive, even surpassing several male bladers. This is proven by the ownership of the thief phoenic. A non generic beys that didn'treleased under regular booster or starter box. Apparently, this is the last series where female bladers were treated competitive. But most importantly, the decent fanservice is available. It means the target market are not only kids but also teenagers and adult which is a good strategy for better market reach.nnThe avatars has solid themes and portraying various familiar iconic creatures in mythology as well as the new one, Ifraid, that being the avatar of the main character in this season, Zyro Kurogane. Several others are also newly introduced in this season. As a result, this season can be considered as an inspiration and pioneer of the series that follow afterwards.nnAfter considering those factors, 5 is the best score that I can give while the other remaining burst series receive 4 at best. This is the detail of my assessment;nnStory 8nArt 8nSound 8nCharacter 8nEnjoyment 8nnOverall 8nnTakara Tomy should make the remake version of Zero-G with extended story line where the characters can compete globally. That way, the story tension and interest may rise significantly and draw more viewers that result in better popularity.
