Meanwhile, the mysterious Jin is lurking around the dressing room listening in on our hero's conversations. When the finals in Block B begin, a radical jungle dish is revealed which gives Daichi the edge. Quickly, the underdog starts slamming and attacking Kai while Kai does nothing to defend himself. As Tyson and his friends watch, they nervously yell out for Kai to attack, but he doesn't listen. Suddenly, as if struck by a bolt of lightning, Kai calls out for his Dranzer to attack. In one swoop, he destroys Daichi. After the battle, Kai is announced as Tyson's partner for the Tag Team Finals, but Mr. Dickenson makes an announcement that their new team, the BBA Revolution, will have two alternate players- Daichi and Kenny. And the announcement is made by Jin. But that's not the only surprise. It turns out Jin is actually Hiro, Tyson's older brother who has come back to coach Tyson and his team.

The plan works well until Tyson strays from the main path, and gets himself and Daichi hopelessly lost. From there it is one disaster after another: They fall in the river, lose all their equipment, and eventually get trapped by a raging forest fire. Only by working together, and using their Beyblades in perfect unison, can they save themselves and the forest. Of course that is easier said than done when it comes to Tyson and Daichi. In the end, however, they get the job done – and Tyson realizes that Daichi does in fact have what it takes to be his partner in the championship tournament.

The teams have been selected and the finals are about to begin. Unfortunately Tyson finds himself facing all of his former friends, each part of a team that he will eventually have to ‘blade against. The biggest blow that Tyson receives, is seeing Kai as a member of the Blitzkrieg Boys! After confronting his sullen, ex-teammate, Kai suggests to Tyson that the reason he left is because his old team just wasn’t good enough! Tyson is insulted to the core; even more so when Ray chooses to let Lee face off against Tyson in the first match, White Tiger X versus BBA Revolution! In an attempt to prove his worth, Tyson makes an arrogant demand: he insists on ‘blading the two White Tiger X team members at the same time! Can Tyson and his relatively untrained partner Daichi even hope to succeed?

The day before their next match, White Tiger X encounters a pair of beyblading jugglers in Madrid's main square, who also happen to be trick bladers. When Lee criticizes their performance, he and Ray are challenged to an impromptu match. The jugglers beat them handily, which only exacerbates Lee's insecurity about his skills. Ray suspects that Lee's problem stems not only from a lack of sleep lately, but from a lack of communication between the two. Ray discusses the problem with Tyson, who suggests that Ray be more confrontational. Mr. Dickenson meanwhile, ponders whether to grant F Dynasty their request for a two-on-two match. Turns out it was Raul and Julia of F Dynasty who posed as the street jugglers in order to goad Lee and Ray. When the day of the match arrives, and White Tiger X faces F Dynasty, Lee and Ray discover the jugglers' true identities. Wanting payback for their earlier loss, Lee and Ray accept the two-on-two challenge and the match format is set. F Dynasty dominates the contest, causing Lee to go batty in fear of letting Ray down yet again. Coming loose at the seams, Lee's reckless blading becomes a serious concern. To save his fragile-minded teammate from further distress, Ray knocks out Lee's blade himself and accept his team's loss.

Our heroes land in Egypt for the next leg of the tournament where the first two teams going up against each other are the Blitzkrieg Boys against the Barthez Battalion.

Miguel is torn and knows that if they follow his coach's plan they could win, but he feels he'd rather lose with respect than cheat. In the first battle, Aaron goes up against Tala. Barthez tells his players to just act natural and he would operate the spider webbing by remote control. As the battle begins, Barthez desperately pushes the remote control, but nothing happens. Turns out Aaron refused to use the 'fixed' blade. Barthez is furious. Miguel is defiant and tell Barthez that they aren't going to be 'his puppets anymore.' As Barthez leaves, Miguel steps into the ring against Kai. The battle doesn't last very long as Kai wins handily. But Miguel has lost with dignity and that's just the way he wants it!

December 18, 2004

The Egyptian leg of the World Championships culminates with the final match highlighting F Dynasty against the BBA Revolution. The day before the match, Tyson has Daichi practice moves with him that they’re not usually accustomed to doing: namely, tag-team attacks. F Dynasty is renowned for their tag-team abilities, and Tyson wants nothing more than to beat them at their own game. He knows this will be a challenge, as F Dynasty has already used the tag-team format to defeat White Tiger X earlier in the tournament. But as the former Beyblade world champion, Tyson feels it’s his duty to prove that he’s the best, no matter what the format is. F Dynasty meanwhile, foregoes practicing in favor of another fantastic street show of their beyblading skills for a crowd of onlookers. In a flashback to their childhood, we learn that Raul and Julia have been performing as a duo since their formative years growing up in the circus. The introduction of beyblades to their act only solidified their skills. When the day of the match arrives, Tyson specifically requests the two-on-two format and F Dynasty agrees. The sand-filled Sahara dish gives Tyson and Daichi the pre-battle advantage, but during the match, Tyson’s beyblade has trouble keeping up. Coach Hiro realizes that the pressure Tyson is feeling to carry his team as the former Beyblade champion is affecting his performance. But this realization comes too late. Raul and Julia pull off another spectacular tag-team assault and defeat Tyson and Daichi. This results in an unusual predicament. All teams remaining in World Championship tournament now stand at two wins and two losses – meaning none of them have been eliminated yet.

In the first match Julia easily defeats Miguel, piling even more pressure on Raul. Raul is up against Mathilda of Barthez Battalion (who is using a combination of parts from her team’s Beyblades) in the second match. Raul freezes under the pressure, and it looks like he is a sitting duck. But Julia steps in to explain to Raul that the only reason she has so much confidence in battle is because she has him at her side. This fires Raul up, and he battles back to steal the victory.

He understands where he comes from and that he's lucky to be where he is, yet he too wants to get this battle behind him. The fight is a tough one. In fact, the combatants are going at it so hard that the entire arena is filled with the acrid smell of burnt metal. This seems to be a battle of wills rather than blades as each Blader attempts to summon every ounce of power that they can. In the end, Daichi proves to be the winner, and Rick is devastated.

Because of the power levels involved, Mr. Dickenson unveils a new stadium dish, hidden under the floor of the main stadium. It is a square mile large, and in the style of an outdoor environment. Tyson is used to more traditional indoor stadium designs, but feels he is up for the challenge.

August 18, 2003

March 19, 2005

Tyson, Max, Kenny and Daichi are invited by Boris to take a tour inside his new BEGA headquarters. Hilary isn’t allowed inside until the official public opening, and is sent away, much to her chagrin. The boys find that the BEGA building is unparalleled in the quality of its Beyblade training and facilities. Impressive as it is however, Tyson is still highly distrustful of Boris, who was responsible for trying to take over the world two years ago by using his team the Demolition Boys as soldiers. Boris tries to convince Tyson that he’s changed. Ever since his scheme was uncovered, he roamed throughout his homeland doing some soul searching. There, while watching some village children Beyblade, he had an epiphany. He realized that Beyblading is all about honor and individuality, and he made it his new goal to bring Beyblading to the masses. That’s why he took over the BBA and turned it into BEGA – as a way to give children around the world that had no exposure to the game a chance to better their lives and become champions themselves. Tyson is still skeptical, and his bad-mouthing of Boris draws the ire of a top BEGA prospect – a juggernaut named Crusher, whose Beyblade launcher is the biggest one the boys have ever seen. When grilled by Tyson about his motives for joining this professional league, Crusher admits he’s doing it for the prospect of getting rich, but only so he can afford to pay his younger sister’s hospital bills. A Beybattle ensues, and Crusher shows he’s even more powerful than he looks. Tyson is nearly defeated, but he summons his will and narrowly defeats his jumbo-sized opponent. When Boris asks Tyson if he now believes he’s sincere in his reasons for creating BEGA, Tyson still isn’t sure. But Tyson does admit that if spirited and honorable Blader’s like Crusher are in it, maybe there is some merit in the new league after all.

A mysterious stranger wanders the woods of White Tiger Hills, the headquarters of the White Tiger X team, and although this strange young man performs incredible good deeds, Lee and the rest of the team are suspicious, and tell their leader Ray, all about him. It isn’t long until the entire team meets up with him again, and Ray comes face to face with the stranger’s incredible abilities like leaping, flying and jumping through the air, not to mention Beyblading like a world champion. He calls himself Mystel and amazes Lee and Ray with the mixture of his incredible acrobatics and Beyblading skills. Lee imagines how good the White Tiger X team would be if they knew how to move like Mystel, and, after challenging their new guest to a battle, has high hopes that he’ll share his secrets. But Lee is humiliated by a quick loss, and now it’s up to Ray to represent the team in it’s own backyard! Can he beat Mystel, and more importantly, can he find out the secrets behind this mysterious young Beyblader?

"Pros and Ex-cons"

September 1, 2003

April 2, 2005

Tyson can’t seem to make up his mind whether or not to trust Boris and go pro. When the team is visited by a rabid pack of sponsors who want to sign them to product contracts, Grandpa is forced to step in and recommend that Tyson have a talk with his more experienced brother, Hiro. While looking for Hiro, Tyson and friends come across Tala, Bryan and Spencer, who are on their way to get revenge on Boris by bringing the BEGA league down around him. Tyson is torn between following Tala, and respecting Tala’s wish that he stay out of it. At BEGA headquarters, Tala, Spencer, and Bryan confront Boris and demand to face his top Beyblader’s. Boris accepts their challenge, but puts them up against some first-level recruits instead to make them feel over-confident. After Tala and the Boys have defeated the BEGA team, Garland challenges them to a battle. Boris promises to dismantle the league if they beat Garland, but they have to join his pro league if Garland beats them. Tala refuses the deal, but Garland decides to battle anyway as a point of pride. Tyson and the gang arrive just in time to see Garland destroy Bryan and Spencer in a two-on-one battle. Now it’s Tala’s turn…

April 9, 2005

Without warning, a match is announced in town featuring Blader’s from the new BEGA League run by Boris. Tyson and his crew are skeptical of this new band of Blader’s, so they decide to go scope out the event. Once there, they find Garland and Tala going head to head all under the supervision of Boris who observes from the wings. An intense battle is played out on the stadium floor, when, it looks like Tala is about to lose, bars rise up out of the floor and keep him in the dish. As they continue to battle, Tala becomes weaker and weaker and collapses. Tyson's had enough. He yells out at Boris telling him his whole BEGA outfit is bogus and he challenges the shadowy figure to a battle. Boris accepts the challenges and at stake is the future of the BEGA and Tyson's future as a Beyblader!! Most of Tyson's friends surround him in a show of support, except one. Kai walks out of the stands and walks right by Tyson leaving him high and dry!

"BEGA on the Rise"

September 22, 2003

April 23, 2005

Hiro stuns the world by joining the BEGA League and coaching Brooklyn, their secret weapon. As the popularity of the new league rises, BBA Revolution find themselves unable to practice because Boris has cornered the market on new parts. Boris is satisfied with the progress of his top Blader’s, who are training heavily in a series of practice and exhibition matches. Ming Ming and the rest of her teammates easily dispatch the competition. After meeting an exceptional Blader named Garland, Kai is warned not to go head to head with Brooklyn – the most powerful Blader at BEGA. Even Hiro is astounded by Brooklyn’s abilities. Kai warns Hiro to stay out of his way and plans to uncover the truth about Brooklyn.

"Rebel Alliance"

September 29, 2003

April 30, 2005

Tyson and Daichi disguise themselves in an effort to get badly needed replacement parts for their damaged Beyblades. But without an official BEGA I.D. card signifying membership in the new league – something they steadfastly refuse to get - they’re shut out from getting parts at any store. Despairing about how they’ll solve this dilemma, they’re visited by members of various teams they fought against in the World Championships: White Tiger X, PPB All Starz, Barthez Battalion, and F Dynasty. These former foes don’t like Boris and his professional BEGA league either, seeing this new entity as a threat to the sport of Beyblading. They vow to help Tyson and the other members of the BBA Revolution in whatever way they can to overthrow BEGA. Boarding a bus to the location Tyson and Daichi trained at, two questions remain unanswered. Which players from this talented assemblage will form the new five-player team to contend against BEGA’s best? And can they create a new, more powerful Beyblade with which to accomplish this task? Hilary surprises all by displaying her new ‘Hilary Star Flash’ persona in an attempt to secure a spot on the team as a player. Her skills are lacking however, and she’s relegated to helping Mr. Dickenson, Grandpa and Mr. Tate prepare food for the group. But despite Hilary’s setback, Mariah, Julia and Matilda show the boys that the girls can indeed compete for one of the five player positions on the squad. Practice, battling and training is the order of the day as everyone vies for one of the coveted spots, which have yet be decided. As for the Beyblade situation, Kenny, Miguel and Emily succeed in utilizing data from past battles and leftover parts to create the revolutionary new Beyblade they’ve been seeking – Dragoon Metal Storm.

May 7, 2005

The good news is, the Hard Metal Beyblades are ready to go…the bad news: no one knows how to control them! Tyson, Daichi, Ray and Max each spend the day trying to learn the delicate new intricacies of the Hard Metal Beyblade, but the new blades seem to get the better of our heroes over and over again…some even wind up headfirst in the lake…No real progress is being made…It isn’t until the gang remembers what it was like when they first started Beyblading, including all the roadblocks that they once came across, that they realize the secret of reining in their new spinners…

"And Justice-Five For All"

October 13, 2003

May 14, 2005

Tyson, Max and Ray struggle to learn the “Hard Metal” system with the help of some of their friends from the World Championship tournament. They still need one more member for the team, and Rick, Lee and Michael have all volunteered to fill the remaining slot. But first they have to prove they can master the new system…which proves a lot tougher than they thought. Meanwhile, Hiro and Boris decide to hold a tournament to give some unknown Beyblader’s a chance to try and make the “Bega Bladers” team. Boris knows that they probably won’t be able to beat his Pro’s (Garland, Crusher, Ming Ming, Kai and Mystel… etc.) but Hiro wants to give everyone a fair shot, and Boris wants to see the mysterious Brooklyn in action. The tournament plays out as expected with the original BEGA pros all securing a spot on the team. Only one match left… KAI VERSUS BROOKLYN – with the final spot on the team hanging in the balance!

"When You Wish Upon A Star"

October 20, 2003

May 21, 2005

The Bega Bladers have one more Blader to pick for the BEGA 5 Justice Tournament and it's between the up and coming Brooklyn and Kai. As their elimination battle begins, Kai tries his best to take command but it seems Brooklyn mirrors his every move. Kai realizes something's fishy, but before he can do anything about it, Brooklyn takes the win, much to Boris's liking. So the BEGA Blader’s team has been picked, now it's up to Tyson and his crew to pick a team. After much discussion about it, they all agree it should be up to Tyson to choose, but Tyson (even though he wants to pick Kai), doesn't say anything. The next day the tournament begins and our hero’s new team (now named the 'G Revolutions' by Mr. Dickenson) arrive at Bega Stadium. At first they present only four Blader’s, however, they finally reveal their fifth… they call him 'Mr. X' but it's really Grandpa in a mask. Now the first battle is about to begin and it pits Daichi against Ming Ming!

"Sing Ming Ming Sing!"

October 27, 2003

May 28, 2005

It’s the start of “Justice 5” and Daichi is set to battle Ming Ming, the crowd favorite because of her cute demeanor and sensational singing voice. Daichi’s goal is to prove that Ming Ming doesn’t take Beyblading seriously and he vows to knock her out of the stadium early in the match. However, when Ming Ming gains the upper hand this makes Daichi very annoyed. Worst of all, Ming Ming has the nerve to break into song as if to mock Daichi. Even worse, her singing seems to make her Blading improve and she slams Strata Dragoon relentlessly. Kenny, a devoted fan of Ming Ming’s, realizes that it’s her voice that helps her concentrate on her blade and Tyson tells Daichi of her secret. Daichi uses his own voice to unleash the full power of Strata Dragoon but in the end Ming Ming proves to be the better blader and wins the match. Daichi is disappointed but being a good sportsman he congratulates Ming Ming. Tyson and the others realize that the Bega Bladers intend to fight fairly and they all vow to do their very best to win the next battle!

"Refuse to Lose"

November 3, 2003

June 4, 2005

It’s the second match of the Justice Five Battle and Ray and Crusher are facing off against each other. With Ming Ming’s win against Daichi in the previous match, the BEGA League is already ahead by one so the pressure is on Ray to take the match. But Crusher is feeling the pressure too, not only for himself and his teammates but for his sister, Monica, who is undergoing surgery at the very same time. From the beginning, the battle is fierce with both Blader’s inflicting significant damage. But Ray quickly gains the upper hand and it looks like its game over. It is only once Crusher calls upon the spirit of his brave, little sister that he is filled with the courage and strength necessary to match Ray. But with so much at stake, which Blader will emerge victorious?

"Max to the Max"

November 10, 2003

June 11, 2005

The first two matches of the ‘Justice 5’ tournament are complete, and things aren’t looking good for Tyson’s squad, G Revolutions. BEGA’s team is up two games to one in the best-of-five series. If they lose another match, BEGA will be victorious and have complete control over the sport of Beyblading. This puts a lot of pressure on Max to win game three against Mystel. Tyson and the others argue whether Max’s signature defensive style will be enough to overcome Mystel’s unpredictable and overpowering attack. Max takes this as a sign that his teammates only think he can win if he changes the way he Beyblades altogether. His confidence shattered, Max isolates himself and does some soul-searching. He receives a morale boost from a unlikely source – Rick, his contentious PPB All Starz partner. Rick helps Max realize that his trademark style is what made him so successful as a Blader, and it would be foolish not to use it just because the odds are against him. Max never wanted to give up his defensive tactics in the first place, so Rick’s advice only strengthens his resolve to simply do what he does best. When the time comes for his battle against Mystel, Max uses his time-tested strategies. He’s quickly overwhelmed by Mystel’s wild, hard-hitting attack, and defeat seems eminent. But Draciel’s spectacular defense curtails the downward spiral, and the match ends in a draw. The stalemate result isn’t the victory that Max desired, but it successfully postpones any chance of losing the tournament for at least one more match. For the underdog G Revolutions team, momentum has finally turned in their favor.

"The Return of Kai"

November 17, 2003

June 18, 2005

With three rounds already played, the G Revolutions team finds themselves with an unimpressive record… two matches lost, and one ending in a draw. Tyson and the rest of the team are practicing furiously to guarantee a check in the win column for tomorrow’s big match. The bad news is, no one on the team has the same skill with the Hard Metal Beyblade as Tyson does… or at least that’s what he thinks, and he refuses to choose any of his teammates to Blade in the last round of the tournament, insisting instead to blade both rounds himself. As all of the others vie for the last spot, Kai’s frustration at his lack of control with his new Hard Metal Beyblade reaches an all-time high, combine that with his anger at what happened to Tala, and Kai’s mood is even less cheery than usual. It isn’t until he connects with an unlikely Blading opponent that he gains the technique he’s been seeking for so long…the real question is, will Tyson and the rest of the gang welcome Kai back after all they’ve been through in the past?

"Now You're Making Me Mad"

November 24, 2003

June 25, 2005

It's the continuation of the Justice 5 Tournament with the BEGA Blader’s leading the battle with two wins and a tie. If G Revolutions lose the next battle, they're out and BEGA (lead by the evil Boris) takes over the Beyblading Empire. The next battle is set to pit Tyson against Garland, but when the G Revolutions enter the stadium, they reveal their fifth team member- KAI!! Everyone is stunned, except for the BEGA Blader’s who see him only as a loser. Kai is out for revenge because a few days earlier he lost a battle to Brooklyn. So, wanting to save face, Kai calls out Brooklyn, who arrogantly accepts his challenge. A massive battle ensues with Kai trying desperately to somehow attack his opponent, but nothing seems to work. And what's worse, Brooklyn seems to be copying Kai's every move. Kai becomes frustrated and realizes he must dig deep within himself to draw out more power. He does, however, it's making him weaker and weaker. The rest of the G Revolutions team wants him to quit. Kai refuses and in the end, he prepares for a final assault against his foe!

"The Beyblading Spirit"

December 1, 2003

July 2, 2005

The battle of “Justice 5 Tournament” continues and Kai is clearly overwhelmed by the power of Brooklyn of the Bega Bladers. Attack after attack sees Kai barely hanging on as he fights to stay in the match. Tyson and his team mates nervously watch, but vow to stay out of the battle because of a promise that Tyson made to Kai. Pleased with the progress of the battle and confident that Brooklyn will win, Boris watches from the sidelines with delight. Kai’s determination to win against these unbeatable odds begins to frustrate Brooklyn and he increases the intensity of his attacks. Suddenly, when it seems that Kai can’t take any more he manages to draw upon his Beyblading spirit and defeat Brooklyn. The crowd goes wild at this dramatic upset and Kai leaves the stadium only to collapse into Tyson’s arms, battered and bruised. Brooklyn remains in the stadium, stunned and confused after suffering the first defeat of his Beyblading career. Kai assures his concerned team mates that he is all right and tells Tyson that he should be more concerned with his upcoming battle against Garland. Tyson, as confident as ever, shrugs Kai’s advice off but secretly hopes he can summon the same amazing strength that his old friend showed in his battle. Kai walks unsteadily out of the stadium alone, collapses again, and then watches as Dranzer disintegrates in front of him.!

July 9, 2005

All of G Revolutions hopes now rest on Tyson’s match with Garland. Tyson is determined to make sure Kai’s brave victory over Brooklyn isn’t wasted. Garland is confident he will win. His family have been sports champions for centuries thanks to a book containing the Tzebult Principles of Victory. Those who follow the principles never lose! Tyson seeks the help of his friends to prepare, finding comfort and focus in their company. The match begins and Garland seems unbeatable due to the family principles. But Tyson isn’t satisfied… he wants to fight the real Garland, not a book of rules. Tyson convinces Garland to abandon the family code and Beybattle like a true Blader. But can he withstand the full force of Garland unleashed?

"Welcome to my Nightmare!"

December 15, 2003

July 16, 2005

Brooklyn has gone a little loopy after his loss against Kai. And the loss means either BEGA or the G Revolutions need one more victory to win the Justice 5 Tournament. To determine a winner, one battle is left and it will pit Tyson going up against one of the BEGA Blader’s. But who will it be? Garland offers his services, but Hiro turns him down cold saying they need Brooklyn to fight this battle. Brooklyn's on the brink of a breakdown and now it's up to Hiro to get him back into fighting form. Meanwhile, Boris has taken matters into his own hands and dispatches Crusher and Ming Ming to knock Tyson out before he even has a chance to battle the BEGA Blader’s. Crusher and Ming Ming arrive and straight away challenge Tyson to a battle. Rick and Lee step in to protect Tyson. At first it appears Crusher and Ming Ming are going to go through with their attack, then stop when they realize Tyson isn't their enemy. Now the stage is set for the big showdown between Tyson and Brooklyn!

51

"Brooklyn's Back"

December 22, 2003

July 23, 2005

The final match between the G Revolutions and the BEGA Bladers has arrived. Tyson prepares for the contest, unsure of whom he will ultimately face. It isn’t until he steps onto the stadium floor when he discovers that he will go face to face, against Brooklyn himself. Brooklyn shows off his incredible powers immediately, stunning both teams on either side of the Beystadium. But no one has any idea of the true extent of Brooklyn’s powers until he creates a wormhole to another dimension, creating an empty shell, carbon copy of the real world! The freak out continues as Brooklyn destroys everything in his new empty world to mold it into an image that makes him happy! Tyson has never faced an opponent like this! Does he stand a chance, or will BEGA continue its evil infection of the Beyblading community?

"Beybattle for the Ages"

December 29, 2003

July 30, 2005

It’s mid-way through Tyson and Brooklyn’s final tie-breaking ‘Justice 5’ match which could give BEGA a stranglehold on the entire sport of Beyblading. Having suffered his only previous defeat at the hands of Kai, Brooklyn’s thirst for revenge takes the form of an unearthly power. Not only has his Beyblade Zeus given Brooklyn sinister black wings with which to fly, it has generated a giant vortex in the sky that is wreaking havoc on the city. Buildings are crumbling everywhere. The entire world is being enveloped by the growing darkness. Only Tyson can stop Brooklyn before it’s too late. Summoning his own formidable power from Dragoon, Tyson flies into the sky to convince Brooklyn to cease the negative emotions that are causing the havoc. When reasoning fails, the pair continues their battle above the ever-crumbling city. The tide turns in Tyson’s favor when he is able to summon the spirits of his teammates’ blades and merge them with Dragoon, which evolves into the most powerful Beyblade ever. By probing deeper into Brooklyn’s psyche, Tyson learns that his foe's anxiety stems from childhood isolation at being a genius so early in life. Tyson makes Brooklyn see that Beyblading is a pure sport to be enjoyed for one reason alone – the love of the game. Brooklyn calms down. The chaos ends. And the pair continues their match simply for enjoyment. With BEGA's HQ in shambles, the upstart league and its owner Boris are ruined. Mr. Dickenson’s BBA league restarts, but in a much more modest form. And kids everywhere – including Tyson and his friends - return to the simple, purest form of Beyblading.
