Beyblade: Shogun Steel (Japanese: メタルファイトベイブレードZEROG, Metal Fight Beyblade Zero-G) is the fourth series of the Metal Saga, created by Takafumi Adachi and the seventh anime series of Beyblade, overall. It premiered on TV Tokyo in Japan on April 8, 2012 in the 8:30 time slot with its first episode, The Dawn of a New Era!. Its last episode, The Spirit's Blow, premiered on December 23, 2012 and marked the end of the anime.
The series is unusual in that unlike its three predecessors; Beyblade: Metal Fusion, Beyblade: Metal Masters and Beyblade: Metal Fury; it features a whole-new cast of characters to replace the original team of Gingka Hagane and his friends. However, it takes place approximately seven years after Beyblade: Metal Fury and yet still manages to return old characters in new roles and positions; a first for Beyblade.
It is the last anime rendition of the Beyblade franchise for the foreseeable future.
Summary
Zyro Kurogane, the new protagonist who looks up to Gingka Hagane and aims to become the strongest Blader, is the No. 1 Blader who remains undefeated on his home turf. In order to test his own strength, Zyro arrived at the town where Gingka and his friends were, but Gingka wasn't there and champion Bladers who aim at becoming the strongest Blader of tomorrow had gathered.
Straightaway, Zyro starts to battle with them, but he wasn't used to dealing with the Zero-G Stadium, which wasn't in his hometown, so it was a tough fight for him... However, with his natural guts and instinct, Zyro understands the walkthrough methods and heads towards victory.
As such, will the champion Bladers stand in Zyro's way one after the other?!
