Beyblade: Metal Fury

Beyblade: Metal Fury (original version: Metal Fight Beyblade 4D) is the sixth anime series of the Beyblade anime and the third season of the Metal Saga created by Takafumi Adachi. It is the sequel to the anime and manga series, Beyblade: Metal Masters (Metal Fight Beyblade Explosion/Baku).

Metal Fury was revealed through the March 2011 issue of CoroCoro, showcasing the new season along with it's plot. As revealed from it, Fury was revealed to be based heavily on the then-new 4D Beyblade System. In which the Beyblade toys featured "Different Material", "Divided Wheels", "Dynamic Moves", and "Deep Custom". As evident by it's Japanese name, 4D.

The premise of this series is of the new 4D System created by Takara Tomy. Along with a new story, which involves the series' main protagonist, Gingka Hagane being discovered to be a Legendary Blader. Legendary Bladers are Bladers that have a piece of the Star Fragment enchanted in their Beys. They are the only people, who have the power to defeat the God of Destruction, Nemesis from ruling the world. Gingka and Co. will have to travel the world just like in Metal Masters to find the remaining Legendary Bladers and destroy Nemesis once and for all. As with all seasons of the Metal Saga, Fury is separated into various story arcs that are connected with eachother.

Beyblade: Metal Fury aired on Sunday morning, April 3, 2011 in Japan at 8:30 A.M. on TV Tokyo. It is due for a worldwide airdate sometime in 2012, with the English dub currently being recorded by it's English licensor, Nelvana.

Metal Fury is also the first Beyblade anime series, to be cut from 30 min. to 15 min.

Now, Metal Fury airs at the 8:30 - 8:45 timslot, with Cross Fight B-Daman taking the rest. Due to this, it is currently unknown what Nelvana will do with this, once they finish dubbing the series.

Hasbro
Hasbro's release of Metal Fight Beyblade 4D will be distributed under the name; Beyblade: Metal Fury. One noticeable difference between Takara Tomy and Hasbro's Metal Fury Beys are that, Hasbro's, will have the Fusion Wheel put together and will not be able to change it's Modes if it consists of at least two parts. However, it is not known whether Hasbro will incorporate PC Frames onto the Beys.

Because of this, Hasbro will release variants of these Beyblades with different Modes. For example, if a Death Quetzalcoatl 125RDF is released in Attack Mode, then a variant of Death Quetzalcoatl in Defense Mode will be released separately. It is not known why Hasbro has decided to do this, but it's most likely reason is cost, as the 4D System Beyblades are more expensive to produce than the Hybrid Wheel System Beys, due to the inclusion of more parts; specifically the 4D Fusion Wheel.
