Beyblade Series in Order: Original, Metal, Burst and X

The Beyblade series in release-era order are Original → Metal → Burst → X, but you can start with any generation. Follow the seasons within the one you choose. You do not need decades of older episodes before starting Beyblade X.

Trying to pick up a childhood favourite? Find the characters you remember in the first table. “Season 2” alone is not much help when four different generations each have their own sequel.

Start with a generation, not every Beyblade series

If you remember a particular season, use its generation below to find the first installment and the next title. Metal Masters belongs after Metal Fusion, for example; it is not a sequel to the Original series.

The English character names follow the official Beyblade history. These are separate starting options, not four chapters of one continuous story. If you only want Burst, go straight to its seven-season sequence; if you already follow X, use the episode-number guide.

Original Beyblade: V-Force and G-Revolution in order

The Japanese names below are useful search aliases for the original cast’s three seasons, not extra shows to add to your list.

The years follow ADK’s production catalog. Beyblade 2002 is V-Force, not an extra season; English broadcast dates can differ.

The Original movie is an optional detour, covered below with the Metal film.

Metal Saga: Fusion, Masters, Fury and Shogun Steel

Begin Gingka’s story with Metal Fusion. The table matches the English season names to the Japanese titles you may see in other catalogues.

Finished Metal Fury? Find Shogun Steel next, even if your service gives it a separate series page. It moves to Zyro and a later generation of Bladers within the Metal setting; it is not a prequel and does not require starting Burst.

Beyblade Burst: all seven English-titled seasons

Begin with the season named simply Beyblade Burst. Use the subtitle pairs below when a service lists the Japanese name instead.

The title pairs identify corresponding seasons, not necessarily identical episode packaging. Do not add God and Evolution as two separate watch steps.

QuadStrike comes after QuadDrive. The official Burst site lists both as distinct instalments. “Burst Ultimate” is not an eighth English TV-season title to insert between them.

Two common stopping points are easy to resolve: after Turbo, choose Rise; after Surge, choose QuadDrive, then QuadStrike. The lead characters can change without resetting that generation’s viewing order.

Beyblade X: where to start and how to match seasons

Start X at episode 1. It introduces a new generation; it is not Burst Season 8 after QuadStrike.

Finished X episode 51? Continue with episode 52, “Restart.” On DisneyNOW’s US catalogue, that is Season 2, Episode 1. The official English episode guide uses continuous numbers, while DisneyNOW’s Season 2 list starts its count again.

From that Season 2 opener, continue to “Signs of a New Era”: episode 53 in the continuous guide, or Season 2, Episode 2 on DisneyNOW. Match episode titles when switching services so you do not repeat the opener.

Where does Beyblade X Season 3 start?

After episode 100, continue to episode 101, Annihilation, then episode 102, Another X. The English episode guide keeps the continuous count; TV Tokyo’s listing for the third-season opening uses the Japanese title Metsubō. This is more X, not a fifth Beyblade generation.

A regional service may be behind that sequence or package it under a different season label. Match the episode title before assuming episodes are missing. A title appearing in the official guide is not a promise that its English dub is playable in every country.

Where the Beyblade movies fit

The Original and Metal movies belong with their own generations. They are optional additions to this main-TV route, not a bridge that connects one generation’s cast to the next.

Those are convenient viewing breaks alongside each film’s release-era television material, not exact episode-by-episode chronology. You can also finish the relevant generation’s TV sequence first and return to its movie afterward.

BeyWheelz and BeyWarriors are side routes

BeyWheelz, BeyWarriors: BeyRaiderz and BeyWarriors: Cyborg are separately titled spin-off productions. Keep them off the four main generation ladders unless you specifically want to explore those shows.

Why episode counts and season labels differ

Distributors may combine short installments into longer episodes or restart numbering each season. When switching editions, compare the subtitle, episode title and runtime.

For example, ADK lists Burst Rise as 26 episodes of 22 minutes. That describes the English-format package, not proof that a differently divided Japanese list is incomplete.

When a listing does not seem to match your progress, check these details in order:

1. Confirm the generation: Original, Metal, Burst or X.
2. Match the full season subtitle, using the aliases above.
3. Check whether numbering continues across seasons or begins again.
4. Compare episode titles and runtime if you are changing language or release.
