Plot
Somewhere, a Beyblade tournament is unfolding. Kenta Yumiya, a kid who loves to Beyblade, is trying to win the tournament with his Beyblade, Flame Sagittario. Meanwhile, a boy named Gingka Hagane, is walking along the road and then sleeping on a water tower. Kenta won all of his matches. Despite this, he knows that he will get stronger with his Sagittario and beat the tournament. However, a Beyblade group knon as the "Face Hunters", ambush Kenta and his friends. The Face Hunters are a rogue Beyblade squad who beat weaker opponents so they may steal their Beys and or Points. Just when the Face Hunters are about to defeat Kenta and steal his Bey Points, a blue Beyblade comes striking at the Face Hunter's Bey. Gingka Hagane then reveals himself and states that stealing other peoples Bey's is not nice. He gets his Bey, Storm Pegasus and beats all five of the Face Hunters. The Face Hunters get frightened and cower away in fear. Later, Gingka and Kenta walk along the road. He thanks Gingka for saving him and wants to be a Blader just like him. Gingka tells him of the "Blader's Spirit." That it does not matter what type or how powerful a Beyblade is, it just matters the heart of the Blader that knows their Bey will win. Kenta does not understand it but goes with it anyway. As Gingka falls asleep on the grass, Kenta goes home. The Face Hunters go to their leader Kyoya Tategami, and apologize for not defeating Gingka. Kyoya commands them to go capture Kenta so Gingka can come to rescue him and they can defeat Gingka. The next day, the Face Hunters confront and capture Gingka as an act of revenge at how Gingka defeated them. Later, Kenta leaves his freinds to go find Gingka and to become stronger. Although he cannot find him, he gets captured by the Face Hunters. When Gingka arrives to save Kenta, he is challenged onto a 1 vs. 100 Beybattle. With all the 100 Bey's dashing all around Gingka it seems unlikely for him to win. Still, he pulls out his Storm Pegasus and launches it. Storm Pegasus unleashes it's full power and defeats every single Bey. Kenta, the Face Hunters, and Kyoya are amazed at how one Bey could defeat 100 Beys. Kenta then begins to understand the "Blader's Spirit" and because of that, Gingka won. As Gingka and Kenta are reunited, they get confronted by Kyoya, who states Pegasus isn't as powerful as Kyoya's Rock Leone.

Differences in adaptations
- An entirely different opening theme is used in the English dub.
- The spelling for Gingka's Bey, Storm Pegasis was changed to Storm Pegasus.

- Ginga's name was changed to Gingka (pronounced Jingka) in the english dub.
- In the English dub version where Benkei's Bey hits him in the nuts. That scene's video was paused, while the audio of that scene was still intact.
- The ending theme in the English dub is just credits with the audio for the English opening, but instrumental.
- The previews in the English dub are redone with different video and are 45 seconds instead of 30. Also, instead of Kenta narrating the preview like he does in the Original, the English version uses a Doc Harris- (Dragon Ball Z english dub) like narrator.
