Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G II (Japanese: メタルファイトベイブレード ZEROG II, Metarufaitobeiburēdo ZEROG Tsū) is the upcoming Beyblade anime, manga and toyline, and the fifth season in the Metal Saga. It was first announced at a Takara-Tomy press conference on March 31st, 2013.

The anime will debut in Japan on October 6th, 2013 at 8:00am JST, while the first products, Kaiser Ifraid W155RCF and Dictator Typhoon B240BWB, will be released on September 28th, 2013. The Manga will follow later on October 15th, 2013 in the CoroCoro magazine.

Toyline
The series continues with the Synchrome System introduced in the previous season. However, it is now standard for the Crystal Wheels to be twice as thin, but made of Metal, just like the Chrome Wheel. Furthermore, sections on the Crystal Wheels contain thermochromic pads, which enable the Blader to see how hard much Kinectic Energy is being lost as Heat Energy on impact.

Stone Faces are now printed by default. Each Bey will still come with Face Stickers, but are completely optional. As with the previous series, a Compact Launcher is included.

As well as the stadiums from the previous series, a new "Super BeyStadium" series will be launched. Stadiums in this series will be double the size, allowing for larger, more competitive battles.

Anime
The anime continues the story of Zyro Kurogane and his friends. Zyro, now the #1 Blader in Japan, has been offered a place on the Japanese team for the World Championships, on the condition that he find three Bladers himself to take with him; two main and one substitute. With Shinobu, Kite and Eight having left the country to join teams competing against Zyro, he is forced to choose Ren, Sakyo and the mysterious Hiyoto Miyagane; a "beginning Blader" wielding Dictator Typhon B240BWB with a past he cannot remember. And to add to the mix-up, Gingka Hagane is their designated coach?!

Who will Team New Japan face up against? And more importantly, will they surpass everyone who stands in their way?

Manga
The manga follows a completely different path to the anime. A messenger from another world has warned Zyro of the return of an evil. To combat this evil, his Bey is upgraded to Kaiser Ifraid W155RCF, and he is tasked with gathering an army of Bladers to assist against the upcoming darkness. With the likes of Kira, Sakyo and Shinobu by his side, Zyro's army appears to be unstoppable, until Ryuga returns...
