Fans can mark their calendars for October 6 when the anime will make its debut on TV Tokyo and its affiliated networks. The series stars Sōma Saitō as Ekusu Kurosu, Shūichirō Umeda as Bird Kazami, and Ruriko Noguchi as Multi Nanairo. While the official character name romanizations are pending, their thematic connections to “X,” “skies,” and “rainbow” are clear.
Guiding this thrilling venture is Beyblade series veteran Katsuhito Akiyama, who takes on the role of chief director. Sotsu Terada, known for their work on Beyblade Burst Turbo and Beyblade Burst GT, is directing the anime at OLM.
The original series concept and scenario assistance come from Hikaru Muno (High Card), while series scripts are crafted by Kazuho Hyodo (ReLIFE, Kiratto Pri☆Chan, TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You). Posuka Demizu (The Promised Neverland) lends their artistic talent to create the original character designs, with Yoshihiro Nagamori (Beyblade: V-Force, Beyblade: Metal Fusion, Beyblade: Shogun Steel) adapting these designs for animation.
The Beyblade X project, announced by Takara Tomy in March, heralds the “4th generation” of Beyblade adventures, following the original 1999 Beyblade (Bakuten Shoot Beyblade), 2008’s Beyblade: Metal Fusion (Metal Fight Beyblade), and 2015’s Beyblade Burst.
The manga adaptation of Beyblade X, brought to life by the creative team of Homura Kawamoto (Kakegurui), Hikaru Muno (High Card), and Posuka Demizu (The Promised Neverland), premiered in Shogakukan’s Monthly Coro Coro Comics magazine on June 15. The manga’s narrative revolves around a young aspiring Beyblade player striving to reach the prestigious X Tower, where professional Beyblade players converge. Along the way, the manga introduces exciting new gears and abilities, adding depth to the Beyblade battles.
