A quick update: Ryuuga's profile has been updated
with some details from the anime, and the overall Metal Fight Beyblade character
list was rearranged so it is slightly cleaner. I should be making individual
pages for the Face Hunters and Dark Nebula too.
Otherwise, as usual, the summary for
Infiltration! The Dark Nebula Castle (episode 12) has been added to the Metal
Fight Beyblade episode guide.

UPDATE:
Episode 11 summary now available.
So there have been some technical issues
lately... I was not even able to put a temporary notification for you
visitors. We are finally back though. However, that means there are
some over-one-week-old news that could have been revealed earlier...
First of all, here is an official article
from Nelvana and Hasbro announcing that they will be distributing the new
series in fall of 2010. The new name will be BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion instead of
'Metal Fight Beyblade'.
6/2/2009
NELVANA ANNOUNCES THE RETURN OF BEYBLADE - THE SPINNING TOP TOY
PHENOMENON
BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion to Launch in North America Next Year
(LICENSING INTERNATIONAL EXPO – Las Vegas, Nevada) – Nelvana
Enterprises, together with d-rights
Inc., is thrilled to announce the return of the internationally
successful BEYBLADE toy and programming franchise, with the introduction
of 51 new episodes and a revamped toy line, both to be called BEYBLADE:
Metal Fusion.
The BEYBLADE series features characters competing for dominance with
their BEYBLADE tops, battling with an evil organization, Dark Nebula.
The original BEYBLADE toy line was a massive hit with boys, often
selling out in stores and attracting thousands of competitors to its
tournaments around the world. It was awarded Toy of the Year in 2002 and
2003.
BEYBLADE: Metal Fusion will feature 51 new episodes co-produced by
Nelvana and d-rights. Set to
launch in North America in Fall 2010, the new series features a
fresh cast of characters that take on the continued battle between good
and evil. The companion toy line is produced by Tomy
Company, Ltd. Hasbro, Inc. has been chosen as the master toy
licensee outside of Middle East and Asia. Hasbro brought the product
line successfully to market in the U.S. and other regions in 2002.
Nelvana Enterprises will represent d-rights in various countries,
distributing the TV series internationally, as well as for merchandising
rights and home video.
The new TV series and toy line have already launched in Japan to great
fanfare. The toys include all the customization features that kids love
while progressing to an all-metal gear system for even more exciting
battles. All-new tournaments for the BEYBLADE Battle Association are
planned for North America.
“Nelvana is excited to be part of the relaunch of this global toy
phenomenon and to work with our international partners to bring kids
this great updated toy line and new television episodes” said Mark
Northwood, Vice President, Worldwide Licensing, Nelvana Enterprises.
“We are thrilled to have been chosen for the relaunch of BEYBLADE,”
said Derryl DePriest, Hasbro’s Vice President of Marketing.
“Millions of kids around the world enjoyed our popular BEYBLADE
product line. The innovations that our designers plan to bring to
BEYBLADE tops will offer kids even more exciting and dynamic ways that
they can compete in BEYBLADE battles.”
Representatives from Nelvana Enterprises are at Licensing International
Expo this week in Las Vegas at Booth 2211. |
Also, 676 screenshots of the ninth episode were
added to the Beyblade Spirit Gallery. From the last update too, there is now a
summary of that episode. Moreover, a summary of the tenth episode is also
available in the episode guide.
A 'picture' of Merci was inserted in its
profile, and some character pages were completed: Mariam, Yusuf and Kane
Yamashita. Most of the Metal Fight beyblade profiles are also all
up-to-date, especially Daidouji's.
Three wallpapers of Pisces,
Escolpio and L Drago have been added.
Next, the eleventh episode of Metal Fight
Beyblade is titled 'Pursue Wolf!'. It will air on June 14th 2009 in
Japan. The following episodes are:
12 - Infiltration! The Dark Nebula Castle (06/21/09)
13 - L Drago, Awakening (06/28/09)
15 - Memory of Ryuusei (07/05/09)
The ninth chapter, which is also the second
chapter of the Battle Bladers series, is now available, along with scans of
the hobby section of CoroCoro. Click on the picture below to access all the
scans:
Finally, the following is a picture of
Lightning L Drago 100HF from the manga:
Unfortunately, it really looks as if this
Clear Wheel will never be interchangeable, perhaps even with future left-spin
beyblades if there are ever any...

episode were finally uploaded and the summary for episode 8 (Merci's Dangerous
Trap) is available.
Moreover, most of the Metal Fight Beyblade
character profiles were updated. Pages for Merci, Blader DJ, Akira and Takashi
were also created. We now have a complete list of every named character that has
appeared in the new series.
Here are also the eight beyblades you could get
in the second Random Booster Light Volume:
-Wind Aquario 100HF/S

574 screenshots of episode 6, Aquario's Challenge,
are now available on the Beyblade Spirit
Gallery.
Hikaru's profile was updated with her special
attack and pictures of her.
Also, the following pictures illustrate the new
releases of this month. In order, they are BB-37 Random Booster Light Vol. 2
Wind Aquario 100HF/S, BB-38 Beylauncher Iron Grey and BB-39 Carabiner
Grip.
Moreover,
Beyblade Spinoff: UK Revolution is not canceled anymore! For more information on
the event, check this
thread. If you live in British Columbia/Vancouver, there is also an event
being held there on June 13th 2009, at Anime Evolution. If you are interested in
attending this event, look here.
Finally, the first Metal Fight
Beyblade DVD will be released on 07/15/2009. It will probably contain three
episodes, four at most. It will be region 2. Metal Fight Beyblade Vol. 1 will
cost approximately 3990 yen.

The summary of episode 6 was added, as well as a
page for Hikaru Hazama, the girl who was introduced in this new episode. Images
were inserted in Tetsuya, Taraba and Ichizen's profiles.
Furthermore, 636 high quality screenshots of
the fifth episode were just uploaded to the Beyblade
Spirit Gallery. The next ones, from the sixth episode, should follow within
the week.
Finally, BB-48 Flame Libra T145ES's Bottom
stands for Eternal Sharp. Its Track should have some down-force, but
mostly centrifugal force. Wind Aquario's Bottom is probably Change Bottom
instead of HF/S too. It basically works the same way though. Hikaru has a
Carabiner Grip in the sixth episode, also. In other news, the Quetzalcoatl 90WF
in every Bey Ta 1 machine was replaced by a Rock Leone 145WB, probably to
coincide with the new system and the anime.

DATE:
05/04/09 |

As usual, the summary for the fifth episode,
"The Cancer of Revenge!", was added to the Metal Fight Beyblade
Episode Guide.
Three new profiles have been created: Tetsuya,
Taraba and Ichizen,
all from episode 5.
Pictures of them will be added as soon as I have taken the corresponding
screenshots. Also, the name for the Wind Aquario owner is Hikaru. Kenta
will be fighting against her in the next episode because Ginga will catch a
cold. Furthermore, Ginga's profile has been updated with two of his special
attacks. The World Beyblade
Organization has officially declared that May 23 was BeyDay! As was already
mentioned, on that date, the BEYBLADE WAR ROOM Toronto tournament will take
place at Anime North. Beyblade Spinoff was also supposed to happen then at the
MCM Expo, in London, however, there were some complications and the UK
beybladers are trying to get the tournament/meet-up to happen at another time.
Visit this topic if
you are interested in participating to the event.
Otherwise, two other things have been organised for BeyDay. If you sign up to worldbeyblade.org,
you can either enter the long-term contest where you only have to upload a
specific video on YouTube following certain instructions, or you can submit an
entry to one of the contests that will be held up to May 23rd. For more
information, check this page: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-MAY-23-IS-BEYDAY

597 high quality screenshots of episode 4 (Rush!
Bull's Power!) were added to the Beyblade
Spirit Gallery.
Chapter 8 of the Metal Fight Beyblade manga is
now available thanks to Miingno. Scans of the hobby section were also uploaded
(Flame Sagittario C145S, Metal Face, etc.). The new character, Phoenix, now has
his own profile. Furthermore, the pages for almost all the Metal Fight Beyblade
characters were updated in some ways.
Here are also official pictures of Flame
Sagittario C145S:
The sixth episode of Metal Fight Beyblade is

Episode 4 Summary, Madoka & Daidouji |
DATE:

The summary for the fourth episode
of Metal Fight Beyblade was written,
and Madoka and Daidouji's profiles were slightly updated.
Members on a Japanese BBS have also posted
those screenshots of Benkei's new beyblade, Dark Bull H145SD:

http://jul.hp.infoseek.co.jp/s/92449.jpg
http://jul.hp.infoseek.co.jp/s/92448.jpg
I do not have an image of the H145 Track, however it resembles WD145 and the 'H'
will probably stand for Horn.
Moreover, the following beyblades are the eight
possible blades you can get in BB-45 Random Booster Light Vol. 3 Clay Aries
ED145D:
- Clay Aries ED145D
- Clay Pegasis 145S
- Mad Leone C145SD
- Heat Bull D125WB
- Wind Wolf H145D
- Heat Leone H145S
- Mad Pegasis H145HF
- Wind Wolf 100SD
There should be pictures of Flame Sagittario
soon too.

UPDATE: I
added the names of the prize beyblades for each Random Booster (BB-44 and
BB-45). Apparently, ED145 would be a Defense Track with a free rotation ...
Furthermore, WD is indeed Wide Defense, and BB-46 Beystadium Standard Type looks
like it will include both a Balance and a Stamina Stadium, as well as three
fences. Earth Aquila will come with a Right launcher. The Angle Compass is an
add-on for the Launcher Grip.
According to Play-Asia, the first Metal
Fight Beyblade DVD is supposed to be released in mid-July.

The profile page for Blood/Sanguinex was

also added Daidouji's special attack to his profile.
