Plot
Part 1
After his defeat at the hands of the powerful Yoshio Iwayama and his Bandid Goreim, Kite undergoes extensive training in his home. Harboring a powerful passion to pass his limits, Kite takes it extremely seriously, with no hints of being passive, laid-back or even taking a break. Eight however, meets his brother and asks what he is doing. After being informed, he tells Kite to relax and not think so much at his loss. Kite ignores it however and rather knocks-off some metal barrels which land very close to Eight. He tells him that the only solution in winning, is to commit to Synchrom.
Meanwhile at Bull Burger, Zyro, Maru, Shinobu, and Ren sit down as Maru examines Kite's Guardian Revizer through her laptop. They all debate on what went wrong with Kite's failure to win as they suddenly get an idea. Needing to help a friend in need, they each play a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to battle one-another where the losing player of Rock, Paper, Scissors picks a team-mate where they engage in a one-sided Tag-team battle against the other player.
Zyro wins with scissors while Shinobu loses. He picks Ren as her partner, with Zyro taking this as a challenge for himself. They later meet at the Bey Park, where each of them begins their battle. Shinobu and Ren with their Shinobi Saramanda and Thief Phoenic respectively facing off with Zyro's Samurai Ifraid. After "Go Shoot!" Ifraid has to prove its strength when Saramanda and Phoenic keep hitting and assault Ifraid in every move, yet Zyro still remains confident in this challenge.
Elsewhere Gen Kinokura walks along the sea of Metal Bey City, infuriated to discover a man littering by throwing a drinking beverage into the sea. Leaping out in his "Sea Monster" form, enraged, he scares off the man and the woman alongside him. He then cleared all the seaweed he collected in the ocean, remaining at how people are careless of littering and preserving places such as coastlines.
Yet he still retains his hope with his Pirates Killerken who alongside with it, shall do anything they can to preserve these types of places. Though he gains an unexpected visit from Takanosuke who is searching for Sakyo yet overhears Gen showing-off his Bey. Wanting to put Gen's money where his mouth was, he challenges Gen to battle. Gen only agrees when he is intimidated by Takanosuke's confidence in his Archer Gryph. Soon enough they already entered the stage of battle, still debating on who's Bey is better. Takanosuke, thinking back to Sakyo, seemingly becomes inspired by him in order to defeat Gen. He still remains confident as the beast of his Gryph appears and throws off Killken into the sea; ruining once again of Gen's strategy to use Stamina whilst shocking him as he jumps in the water.
Satisfied of his win, it soon stops when Kite and Eight find him. Though impressed by Takanosuke's victory, Eight states that now he would like to battle Takanosuke, himself just to measure how much power Gryph actually holds after Kite's fierce training with Revizer, which may end up in a little surprise for Takanosuke.
Part 2
After Gen's defeat and plumage into the waters of Metal Bey City, Takanosuke gets a visit from the Unabara brothers. Impressed by his battle, Eight offers Takanosuke the chance for another Beybattle. Takanosuke however, feels too encouraged and confident by his recent win, as he shows off his fiery aura to test the brothers' might and perception of him. Eight accepts it as they travel to the Bey Park, with Takanosuke following them.
Meanwhile at Zyro, Shinobu and Ren's Bey Park battle, no true victor has been declared as Ifrit fight single-handedly against the team-up of Salamander and Phoenix.
The brothers' and their challenger arrive at a different part of the Bey Park, reserved exclusively for their battle in a red Zero-G Stadium. Just as they enter however, Takanosuke stays in awe at the Bey Park, amazed and delighted by it and the chance to actually face the Unabara brothers. Little to any of them know that Sakyo spotted Takanosuke following Kite and Eight and decided to spectate it.
Kite and Eight announce a Synchrom match to Takanosuke, where Kite and Eight will put together their Guardian Leviathon and Pirate Orochi respectively, to create Orochi Leviathon. Takanosuke will battle it with his Synchrom-less Archer Gryph, still believing he will claim victory and teach them a lesson ot two.
Deliberately beginning their matches, Orochi Leviathon delivers hits to the Archer Gryph, who returns the favour indeed. Continuing to pummel one-another, Gryph evades by spinning around the Synchrom combo but is again met by the Orochi Leviathon. Although the heat of the battle is getting to Takanosuke with Kite and Eight merely revealing their cocky side, Takanosukes refuses to believe in defeat with the red-hot glow of his intense aura, surprising Sakyo to an extent.
The Beyblades still continue to fight each-other but Kite and Eight command a Special Move, signified by the blinking of Orochi Leviathon's motifs. A large typhoon of water erupts from the Bey, with the Orochi Leviathonr beast screeching in terror. The flood-like water is controlled to become linear and "push-up", thus elevating Gryph to the highest point of the Stadium. When there, the glass breaks off where the water subsequently disappears and dropping Gryph to a hard hit and defeat, at the Stadium's surface.
After their win, the Unabara brothers takes their clearance to find Zyro and Co. while Takanosuke decides to follow them in order to strengthen his skills. Despite this, he gets a mysterious greeting from Sakyo who saw Takanosuke's fight, much to the latter's shock. He tells Takanosuke to follow him instead, to give him the secrets of beating Synchrom combos with Takanosuke excited as usual.
Zyro still undergoes the match against Shinobu and Ren, with Zyro training to the extreme, if he will defeat Yoshio Iwayama.
