Beyblade (ベイブレード) is an anime and manga series about a group of children battling with highly powerful spinning tops enchanted with sacred bit-beasts or spirits of mythical and powerful creatures. The show focuses on the battles between Beyblading teams as they compete to become the world champions.
Beyblade (ベイブレード Beibureido) is a spinning top toy developed and manufactured by Takara starting in 1999. The introduction of the toy in Japan corresponded with the broadcast of an anime television series of the same name. In 2002, Hasbro began to sell Beyblade toys internationally (under license from and produced by Takara) along with a coordinated country by country roll-out of localized versions of the TV series.
Beyblade is the first season of the anime series of the same name. It followed the Bladebreakers through their first Beyblading World Championships, which were the main focus of the season, and many sub-plots in between the various tournaments.
