Tyson Kinomiya realises he is running late for a Beyblade
battle with Andrew, the best Beyblader in town. Before Tyson gets there, a member of the "Blade
Sharks" named Carlos fights and defeats him, taking his blade. Tyson arrives and snaps, challenging him to a
battle at 3:00 by the river next day. A boy named Kenny "The Chief"
becomes friends with Tyson , and they realize that they need a faster
Beyblade to defeat Carlos' heavier one. Tyson attempts and almost gives up until he has a
vision of the Great Dragoon Spirit, a power that has been in the family from
generations. With new inspiration, Tyson defeats Carlos with a newly developed
technique. Before Carlos can escape with his stolen Beyblades, his leader Kai
appears and strikes him down for his failure. Disgusted by Kai's callous
attitude, Tyson challenges him to a
battle.

Tyson 's
Blade is destroyed by Kai due to the latter's Bit-Beast Dranzer. Andrew and Kenny
inform him that the Blade Sharks are looking for the ultimate Bit-Beast
nobody can beat. Andrew, Kenny and Tyson rebuild Tyson 's Bey. Meanwhile, Kai then
orders Carlos' Bey be destroyed as punishment. Kai's goons kidnap Kenny to
use his laptop to find the ultimate Bey. Tyson asks the Dragoon for guidance when Dragoon
goes right into his Bey. Tyson then
re-challenges Kai, and they draw.

Tyson and Kenny meet Max Tate the new kid in town,
just before a puppy is washed away to a waterfall. Tyson attempts to save him, but fails. Max then
tries, and succeeds. Max and Tyson battle in Max's dad's shop, but Max wins,
due to his defensive-type Beyblade. Daitokuji Kaichou (president of the BBA
(Beyblade Battle Association), named Stanley A. Dickinson in the English dub
and the versions based on it) then arrives and informs them of the Beyblade
Battle Tournament, and they are all looking forward to it. Kenny and Tyson argue over Tyson 's cockiness that his Bey
need not be improved. Tyson then
attempts to control the Dragoon, and succeeds, while Kenny is watching
through the window. They then become friends again.

The Beyblade
Regional Qualifying Tournament begins as Tyson , Max, and even Kenny enter to
see if they can dethrone Kai, the reigning champion. Max wins his Block, and
advances to the finals. Kenny is second but without a Bit Beast in his blade,
he falls quickly to Kai, angering Tyson . Tyson battles third, against the 3 goons that
captured Kenny, and Carlos. Carlos then destroys one of his partners' Beys,
leaving it between Tyson and Carlos. Tyson
ends up winning, and is a good sport
to Carlos. Rei Kon (Ray Kon in the English dub and the versions based on it)
is introduced at the end of the episode.

|

In the
semifinals, Max goes up against Kai, the champion. Tyson looks forward to
fighting Rei, an undefeated Blader. The dish is based like a tower, to stay
in the top for 10 seconds is how you win. The first round goes quickly, with
Max being defeated by Kai's Spin Fire attack. But in the second round, with
Max's reverse launch, Kai's Spin Fire attack is absorbed by Max's Bey, and he
wins. Max's Bey then explodes due to the energy overload. Max then finds a
Bit Beast chip inside his Grandma's pendant and embeds it within his
reconstructed Beyblade. Max and Kai fight fiercely, but Max loses. Tyson cheers Max up with the fact that he now has
a Bit Beast, and he can't wait for his battle with Rei.
|

|
||||
The final
battle of the semifinals is Tyson versus Rei, an undefeated Blader. Kenny is
working on something, and is not there for the first round. Tyson and Rei
clash, but Rei easily beats Tyson with
his stronger Bit Beast, Driger and his Tiger Claw attack, destroying Tyson 's
Bey. Kenny shows up before he forfeits, and Tyson's Bey is fixed with a new
Defense Ring Kenny was working on. The second round is ferocious, but Tyson's
Defense Ring pulls through, despite not being built for attacking. Rei
forfeits the third match, saying he has nothing left to prove, and joins the
team. The finals are decided, Tyson versus Kai.

Tyson, Max
and Kenny are working on Dragoon to ensure victory in the finals when Grandpa
interrupts and reveals Tyson that it is his 13th birthday! After the party,
the first round ends quickly, with Tyson unexpectedly defeating Kai. Kai then
goes harder on Tyson and easily defeats him in the second round. The third
round is explosive, with Tyson just managing to defeat Kai, and become the
National Beyblade Champion. Mr. Dickinson then reveals to Tyson, Kai, Max,
Kenny and Rei that they will become a team and participate in the World
Championships.

As Tyson ,
Kai, Max, Kenny and Rei fly to Hong Kong to prepare for the Asian Tournament,
Kai "quits" the team and walks into the streets. The rest of the
team try to follow him and fail when they hear a Bey spinning, and find a
back-alley Beyblader challenging them to a battle. Tyson battles and manages to just defeat him, when
another Beyblade knocks Dragoon out of the stadium and nearly hits Rei (Kai
then reappears and knocks Dragoon out of his way), belonging to a boy named
Kevin.
|

|
||||
Kevin disses
the Bladebreakers (especially Rei) and challenges Rei to a battle. Tyson has had enough and battles Kevin instead,
but he falls quickly to the Bey's ability to wobble and multiply. The Blader
who challenged Tyson beforehand bumps
into Lee, Gao (Gary in the English dub and versions based upon it) and
Mariah, the other members of the White Tigers, and he tells them about his
encounter with Rei. Tyson then beats
Kevin in battle, before the rest of the White Tigers show up. They all seem
to know Rei, calling him "traitor", and tell him that they will be
entering the tournament too.
|

|

The BBA
Asian Tournament is underway, at the peak of a unbelievably high tower in
China. The Bladebreakers and the White Tigers realize that they will
eventually battle each other, and they use this against each other. First up,
the Bladebreakers versus the Tall Boys. The Bladebreakers manage to scrape
through to the next round, despite some of the Tall Boys' Beys having spikes
and being able to generate heat. They then check out Mariah's Gallux Bit
Beast, from the White Tigers, and Tyson can't wait for their fight.
|
||||
11
|
||||
With Kenny
working all night before the day of the Tournament, Kevin from the White
Tigers tries to sneak into where they're sleeping and steal and/or destroy
Rei's Driger. With a speech from Mariah, Kevin cannot do it, but instead
steals one of Kenny's data disks while he's making tea. Rei confronts him
before he can escape and they battle for the disk. Rei, however, gets
distracted by Kevin's "mercy" scene and Driger escapes from his
Bey. Luckily, Tyson then battles Kevin
and beats him, getting the disk back but leaving Kai disappointed with Rei
and Rei with himself.
|
||||
12
|
||||
Rei leaves
the Bladebreakers and journeys into the mountains to try to get back Driger.
Mariah finds him, beats him in battle, confronts him about his stupidity and
asks him to come back to the White Tigers. The other Bladebreakers discover
that Rei has gone, and Tyson and Max
venture off into the mountains. Rei nearly goes back to the White Tigers when
Tyson and Max find him. Tyson challenges him to a battle, and if Rei wins
he can do whatever he wants. Tyson , however, loses to Rei. When Rei
discovers the Bladebreakers wanted him back without a Bit Beast, Rei goes
back to the Bladebreakers.
|

|
||||
The White
Tigers face the Spin Shepherds. Due to hunger, Gao loses to one member.
Mariah manages to literally destroy her opponent's Bey. But when Lee uses
Rei's special move, Rei is forced to open up about their past. Driger had
been passed down from generation to generation, and Rei was chosen instead of
Lee. Rei then left to pick up new skills. A challenge is set, whichever team
wins in the finals gets Driger. The Bladebreakers face up against the
Charming Princes, and Tyson , Max and Rei destroy them, with Rei finally
getting Driger back.

It's the
morning of the semi-finals at the Asian Beyblade Tournament and Tyson manages to sleep in. The rest of the team
leaves early, but Rei stays behind to make sure Tyson wakes up. As the tournament gets underway,
Max is the first to battle. Meanwhile, Rei and Tyson are caught up in a traffic jam created by a
landslide (caused by Kevin), so they decide to walk. But the shortest route
is over a mountain where Rei sprains his ankle and Tyson is left to carry him all the way to the
tournament. Meanwhile, back at the tournament, Team Bladebreakers has heard
about the landslide and are worried about their teammates. And to add insult
to injury, if Tyson doesn't show up
soon, their team will have to forfeit. Time is running out for Tyson and Rei, when Kai uncharacteristically steps
up to the plate to stall for time until Tyson shows up.
|

|
||||
The finals
are about to begin in the Asian Qualifying Tournament with the winning team
advancing to the World BeyBlade Championships. In the first round, Max goes
against Gao from the White Tigers in a best of three battle. The first round
goes without a hitch as Max easily takes care of his opponent and with the
win, Max becomes a little overconfident. Meanwhile, Gao loses it and as his
rage intensifies, so does the strength of his Galzzy Bit Beast. In the second
round, Gao surprises Max with his blade's newfound power, and after Max puts
up a respectable defense, Max finally falls prey to Gao's Galzzy. Now the
Bladebreakers realize they're not quite as tough as they think they are, and
when they enter the ring for the final round, they try a new strategy. But
Gao has other plans and makes quick work of defeating his opponent handing a
first round loss to the Bladebreakers.
|
||||
16
|
||||
in the
second round of the finals of the Asian Tournament, Rei faces off against his
old teammate, and former friend, Mariah. When Galux and Driger team up to
show the pair a glimpse of the happiness they shared in the past, Rei and
Mariah come to realize how much they have lost, by being rivals. Rei makes a
promise to Mariah before he wins the match that no matter what happens,
they'll stay friends.
|

|
||||
The final
match of the Asian Beyblade Tournament reaches an uncertain conclusion when Tyson
and Lee's decisive battle ends in a
draw. The resulting sudden death session between Rei and Lee rekindles the
pair's old hometown grievances. Rei manages to defeat Lee and the two of them
make up.

|

Fresh from
the Bladebreakers win in Asia, Tyson comes home and realizes he's front page
news. With his ego out of control, Tyson takes on the attitude of a rock star, which
upsets Kenny who tries to keep him focused on blading and not his popularity.
Meanwhile, at a local playground, the local kids are all out Beyblading when Tyson
spots a kid called Nicky, being smoked
in the Beystadium by a bully named Riley. After Nicky's blade is completely
destroyed, Tyson vows to help the kid
fix it and fight his way back. After enlisting the help of Max, Kenny and
Dizzi, Tyson manages to rebuild
Nicky's blade and they return to the playground where they find Riley and
immediately demand a rematch. With the knowledge of the Bladebreakers backing
Nicky, he quickly takes care of Riley. Meanwhile, in a conspiratorial meeting
at Kai's grandfather's mansion, he spells out Kai's next assignment: "to
fight all the beyblades that possess the bit beasts within them". Kai
walks out of the room speechless and says to himself he will that he'll get
"what he wants" and he will be crowned "the undisputed
beyblade champion of the World".

The
Bladebreakers arrive in the USA for the American Tournament. During a tour of
a BBA research facility, Max is shocked to learn that his Mom (Judy Tate)
works there, and not at the college, like he thought. Also, the team
discovers that they are being tested for weaknesses, by a competing team.
Although Tyson and Rei easily beat
their opponents, Max is easily defeated by his mother's assistant, Emily, who
uses her tennis racket as a launcher.
|
||||
20
|
||||
After their
non-competition loss to Emily of the All Starz at the BBA Research Center,
the Bladebreakers sneak around the high-tech facility, hoping to learn more
about their competition. There, they confront two other All Starz called
Eddie and Steve (who use respectively, a basketball and an American football
as launchers), and Max learns more about his Mom's job at the BBA -
specifically, a rumour of why Max wasn't asked to join the All Starz
Team.

|

Kaichou
sends the Bladebreakers to a remote mountain retreat to hone their blading
skills for the upcoming American Tournament as well as to get Kenny and Dizzi
to figure out a way to increase Rei's Bit Beast's power. Once there, they
meet up with an enthusiastic young boy named Antonio who they think is there
to train them. Turns out, Antonio is a weak blader. Frustrated, the Breakers
question the reason why Kaichou would send them all the way up to the middle
of nowhere to train without any decent equipment. Turns out, the BBA Chairman
had an ulterior motive - to teach the boys a lesson about the importance of
practice. Even Kenny learns from this and is able to tweak Rei's blade up a
few notches.
|

22
|
||||
A charity
event in the Heartland of America gives the Bladebreakers a taste of the All
Starz's prowess. Featuring celebrities in a three-on-three contest against
young Beybladers of note, Emily of the All Starz, bullies her way to an easy
win. It's not until Emily knocks out her own opponent, loses the second match
and is on her way to throwing the whole competition, that Max teaches her a
lesson about teamwork. All Starz's team leader, Michael, is also introduced
in this episode.
|

|

The
Bladebreakers arrive in Las Vegas for the start of the American Tournament. Tyson
looks forward to facing off against
the arrogant All Starz, and their scientifically advanced Beyblades – but
first his team needs to get past the Hispanic bladers ‘Renegades’ in the
qualifying round. Kai surprises everyone by stepping into the dish for the
first battle after being confronted by Emily about his apparent coldness
towards his team mates - Kai wants to give her a chance to know what he's
made of, but it was only a plan so that the All Starz could study his skills.
However, Kai beats his opponent so fast that Emily is unable to record any
data. Max and Tyson also defeat their
opponents, though not as quickly as Kai.
|

|
||||
The
Bladebreakers have advanced to the second round of the American Tournament
where they square off against the Savage Slammers. The winner of this round
advances to the semi-finals. Their competition first appears to be a bunch of
slackers, but when Rei loses out in the first round, they quickly realize
what they're up against. Max is next, and for some odd reason, his rival
folds under pressure, so the best of three is tied at one a piece with Tyson coming in for the deciding battle. At first
it looks like a quick win for the Slammers simply because of the size of his
opponents enormous Beyblade and things get even more tense when Tyson begins to lose his temper and his focus. The
other Breakers convince him to concentrate and when he does, Tyson pull off the victory. Next, the
Bladebreakers decide to check out the American Team who are competing in
another stadium. That's where they get their first taste of the
ultra-inflated ego of the All Starz's captain, Michael.
|

|

It's the
Bladebreakers versus Spintensity in the semi-finals of the American
Tournament. But before the match can begin, Tyson is forced to withdraw with a stomachache
which he got from too much celebratory eating. Kai replaces him and the trio
advance to the final round after a perfect three at the whirlwind,
highway-themed dish called the New Jersey Turnpike.
|
||||
26
|
||||
Tensions
rise as the American Tournament heats up. Max fights for a chance to beyblade
against his mother’s team the All Starz in an upcoming match, while Tyson and the rest of the Bladebreakers realize
that the All Starz are a bigger threat then they previously thought. At the
end of two tense rounds, Tyson and
Steve are tied one-all.
|
||||
27
|
||||
It's the
finals of the American Tournament and the Bladebreakers are going head to
head with the All Starz with the winner going to the World Championships. In
the first round, Tyson is pitted
against Steve and at first things don't appear to be going Tyson 's way. But
with sheer determination, Tyson pulls
out a victory that puts the Bladebreakers ahead one to nothing in the best of
three finals. The second round isn't quite so easy as Rei squares off against
the NBA wanna-be Eddy whose blazing fast basketball style attack quickly
knocks him out and evens the score at two a piece. Now the stage is set for
the final battle, and Max is chosen to fight Michael.
|
||||
28
|
||||
The deciding
match of the American Tournament Finals comes down to Max vs. Michael of the
‘All Starz’. The beystadium for the final round is a replica of a baseball
diamond – Michael's favorite ball sport. After an intense battle, with
Michael recurring to a fastball launch at the final round, Max wins and prove
his mother that science and technology are not always enough to ensure
victory.
|

|

After
narrowly defeating the All Starz at the American Tournament, Kenny decides he
should record a database of the highs and low points of the Bladebreakers
since the very beginning. In fact, through a series of flashbacks, Kenny along
with Dizzi, takes a trip down memory lane as far back to the first time he
ever met Tyson . With clips from various shows, Kenny narrates the progress
of his friends who eventually form the Bladebreakers and go on to the Asian
Tournament. After watching the progress of his team, evaluating individual
battles to eventually winning the American Tournament, Kenny concludes that
they really have come a long way in a very short time. And just when he
thinks they've reached the pinnacle of their success, Max, Tyson and Rei show up to take Kenny to meet the
ship that's about to take them to the World Championships in Russia.
|
||||
30
|
||||
The
Bladebreakers travel by boat across the Atlantic, where Kenny discover he
suffers from seasickness. Meanwhile,
he wants the Bladebreakers to evolve - however, they don't have any good
opponents around and there's no use in battling each other since there will
be no surprises. Meanwhile, an arrogant unknown beyblader at the ship's cargo
depot is challenged by some amateur players. He destroys every beyblade used
against him, and Tyson arrives in time
to see him breaking one last beyblade in two with just one hit. Tyson challenges him and releasies Dragoon to make
it clear he's no amateur. However, his opponent reveals his own bit beast,
the much larger Griffolyon, and easily throws Tyson 's beyblade out of the
stadium. He then introduces himself as Ralf (Robert in the English dub and
the versions based on it) and the Bladebreakers realize not all good beybladers
are taking part of the World Championship and the defeat exposes the team's
vulnerability going into the Russian Tournament.
|
||||
31
| ||||
The kids are
tricked by an old man into missing their boat, forcing them to spend the
night in London where a mysterious videotape of Tyson 's father is delivered
to them. Later, Tyson 's Beyblade is stolen and the kids are lured into a
fight with the evil Cenotaph and his powerful Bit Beast, Sarcopholon. Kai
then appears and defeats the mummy by using his own strengths against him.
The team agree to travel by land, learning from every European Beyblader they
can find.
|
||||
32
|
||||
After their
train is mysteriously hijacked, the kids find themselves in the dark recesses
of a tunnel. This is where the Bladebreakers meet a foursome of zombie-like
ghouls, the Dark Bladers. Cenotaph grabs Kenny and his three team mates
challenge the Bladebreakers for a fight in order to release Kenny. However,
if they lose, they'll have their bit beasts captured. Max and Tyson face off against Sanguinex and Lupinex,
respectively a vampire and a werewolf. By making an
"X" sign with their beyblades, they manage to beat Sanguinex, since
vampires are scared of crosses. Rei then joins in with a silver coin attached
to his beyblade in order to unleash a silver-version of Drigger that weakens Lupinex's
blade. When Cenotaph and Zomb are just about to start their rounds, an
ambulance arrives, forcing the Dark Bladers to flee.
|
||||
33
|
||||
As the Bladebreakers
make their way to the World Championships in Russia, they are stuck in Paris
where they end up wasting a day looking for Kai who had mysteriously
disappeared. Tyson comes up with the
idea of using the Eiffel Tower as a vantage point to speed up their search.
Rei, Kenny, Tyson and Max make their
way to the observation deck of the tower where they are again confronted by
the Dark Bladers, who have vowed to steal the Bladebreakers Bit Beasts as
part of their ultimate plan to capture all Bit Beasts in the world. A massive
battle ensues but the odds are against the Bladebreakers. Finally, Kai shows
up with his newly modified Dranzer and, as an unknown kid watches from behind
a corner, almost single-handedly wins the battle. The Dark Bladers fade away
after their loss. The unknown kid appears to the Bladebreakers and introduces
himself as Oliver. Raised in Paris, he tells the Bladebreakers they did good,
but they could do more with the power of their Bit Beasts. He then walks
away.
|
||||
34
|
||||
The
Bladebreakers spend an extra day in Paris and split up to see the sights. Rei
catches up with his uncle, Max goes on a wild shopping spree and Kai goes in
search of information about Oliver. Tyson and Kenny try to see the Louvre but end up
meeting Oliver, again, who rented an entire gallery just for himself to
contemplate the works of art. Oliver is the son of a French millionaire who
owns a number of restaurants. A chef himself, Oliver is also the French
beyblading champion. Kenny suggest both should have a fight, which ends in a
tie. Oliver mentions a group of four European champions and says they should
go to Italy meet his friend and undefeated national champion Enrique.
|
||||
35
|
||||
The
Bladebreakers arrive in Rome, searching for the local champion Enrique.
Scoffing at their Beyblade challenge, Enrique decides he would rather spend
the day with some of his lady-friends. But Tyson soon convinces him to battle. Enrique
accepts and the match takes place in his personalised BeyStadium, built after
the Colosseum. Enrique, dressed up in an actual
Roman centurion uniform, soon unleashes his bit-beast
Amphilyon, which has two heads and, as such, battles as if it was controlling
two beyblades at the same time. Eventually, Amphilyon tries to attack Tyson himself, forcing Dragoon to block it with
its body, costing Tyson the
match.
