To their surprise, Valkyrie radiates a golden light as it rockets around the stadium. Inspired by the limitless possibilities of this “Hyper-Flux” state, both Drum and Delta seek the same bond with their Beys.
Drum and his partner, Ace Dragon, set off for Japan, the place where Beyblade all began. But the path to glory won’t be easy; plenty of tough competitors and Gamma Beys stand in their way, among them some of the best to ever hit the stadium. Drum soon realizes he’ll have to do whatever it takes to deepen his bond with his bey, Dragon.

Hyuga and Hikaru get inspired to make their own sparking beys, Hyperion and Helios, and compete with the legendary bladers, training to best the top ranked bladers to ever touch the stadium.
Prepared to do whatever it takes to become the best, they head across the globe to challenge the best to ever let it rip, in an effort to become stronger, and battle all of the top bladers that were able to make their mark in the stadium.
