Plot[]
Part 1[]
Coming up on stage are none other than the Top Eight, the top eight competitors of the tournament full of hype that is, Neo Battle Bladers. With Zero, Shinobu, Kite, Sakyo, Yoshio, Kira, Takanosuke and Captain Arrow making it front-and-centre to the audience's applause. Blader Guy announces these eight Bladers, expressing the complete strength and endeavors these persons had to make in order to make their way to the best. The mass audience cheers in delight and enthusiasm, as Mal, Madoka and Benkei watch from the sidelines as they cheer on Zero and Shinobu.
After the applaud and mood starts to calm down, Gai goes on to announce the first battle of the Best Eight, beginning with the Invincible Salamander, Shinobu Hiryuuin against the golem-wielding, Yoshio Iwayama. Each Blader makes their way to the Zero-G platforms, rising up to Zero-G Stadium and ready to fight face-to-face.
Though not surprised of his opponent, Yoshio shows no fear in his current battle while Shinobu feels the same. Getting into launching stance, they Go Shoot! and the battle begins. Shinobi Saramanda SW145SD facing off with Bandid Goreim DF145BS. The Beyblades first reach contact in a single smack that ricochets both of them. Knowing no fear, the Invincible Salamander quickly offers some hits and smashes to the defendable Goreim, as the latter tries to keep up with every hit that comes in.
Shinobu decides to follow this up with a Special Move, calling on the sound of the legendary Salamander, he proceeds to activate Infinite Fire Stream Assault, creating multiple copies of Shinobi Saramanda to in an attempt to fool Yoshio. Yoshio commands Bandid Goreim to go blow away all of the Saramanda copies. Yoshio believes he has won when Saramanda seems to be circling the stadium creating more and more copies trapping Goreim. Finally, Shinobu calls a new Special Move: Blazing Ring Shot, creating a burning ring around Goreim that closes in and sucker punches Goreim into the air giving Shinobu a win by stadium out.
Blader Guy subsequently proceeds to announce the follow-up with Kite Unabara against the Dragon-Killer, Kira Hayama. Intrigued by his opponent, Kite takes his step to the platforms but is halted by his little sibling, Eight. Eight reminds his brother to desperately win the fight for both of them, counting on him to redeem his own loss against Kira. Accepting this with every extent, as Kite finally reaches the Stadium he is met with a surprise when Eight throws his Pirates Chrome Wheel for Kite to catch. He then gets a sense that Eight wants him to practice Synchrom and defeat Kira who is handed the Goreim Chrome Wheel by his partner-in-crime, Yoshio for vengeance.
The two fierceful Bladers load their Chrome Wheels and Go Shoot! at the sound of 3, 2, 1 with Kite's Orojya Revizer 160SB fighting edge-on with Kira's Goreim Begirados SR200BWD. Needing to his prove his worth, Kite uses defensive motives against Goreim Begirado's Stamaina one. With two Chrome Wheels for a Synchrom battle, Goreim Begirados heads in for some right and left hooks to Orojya Revizer as they face off, wheel-to-wheel. Even more smacks, dashes and bursts of attacks follow suit with an explosion to come in for every damage that a Bey takes.
Upon the recklessness of he and his opponent when it comes to foul play, Kite is ready to activate a Special Move in response to Kira's activating of Iron Flail. With Begirados' beats changing yet again to an even more gruesome and burly beast against the Synchrom-esque, Leviathan infused Orouchi. Deciding the time is right, he has Orojya Revizer create a tornado that soon enough becomes infused with water to summon forth, a tropical cyclone. This maelstrom of a hurricane comes into the centre of the Beys as both Kira and Kite use their maximum potential to have Goreim Begirados and Orojya Revizer meet dead-on for the outcome. The cyclone causes an immense and explosive explosion on impact that deals incredible damage dealt to the Zero-G Stadium and filling the audience with immerse fear.
In the end however, Orojya Revizer was unfortunately thrown into a wall and stuck there, whilst Goreim Begirados remains in complete spin rotation. Shocked by his loss like how Yoshio was, Kite screams in denial and agony at how this battle could have been, especially failing to redeem Eight. Kira is casual about it as always and leaves when Blader Guy announces Kira as the victorious Blader.
Team Garcias of DNA are meanwhile seen in a live coverage of Neo Battle Bladers, happy to see everything is continuing to go as planned, never doubting Kira for one second especially when Yoshio failed.
Back at Neo Battle Bladers though, Blader Guy announces the next match consisting of Sakyo Kurayami against the mysterious masquerade-helming, Captain Arrow. Both stand onto their Zero-G platforms and await their fight.
Part 2[]
In the second part of the quarterfinals comes the awaited match between Sakyo Kurayami and Captain Arrow. While both Bladers move to their respective Zero-G Stadium platforms, Captain Arrow introduces himself. With his own Beyblade, the Defense-Type Archer Wyvang 145WB, Arrow intends to easily win this battle after he reveals at how he is also a DNA Blader. This startles Tsubasa, Madoka and Benkei who are affiliated with the WBBA, the enemies of DNA. Knowing that they need Sakyo to defeat the new DNA representative, both Bladers "Go Shoot!" and launch their Beyblades.
Dark Knight Dragooon LW160BSF is already receiving barrage attacks by Archer Wyvang, while Sakyo remains as calm as ever. More smashes originate here and there that it seems that Arrow has already figured out the path to victory. This is evident when he already unleashes a Special Move, "Arrow Tornado". An immediate tornado of wind bursts out and throws Dragooon away, despite Benkei's comments that Kyoya had made better tornados in his days.
Sakyo however reveals that he never really was trying all along and immediately his focus shifts to turning the tables. Commanding Dragooon to recover from the Special Move, he has it dash towards Archer Wyvang. With the beast of Dragooon tackling the tornado. Subsequently, Dark Knight Dragooon goes under Archer Wyvang and flips the latter to have it thrown to the other side of the Stadium. Aa a result a small hole is created and Wyvang falls through it to give Sakyo and Dragooon the win and they move on to the next round.
Blader Guy announces Sakyo's victory alongside the audience cheering as well. Although Tsubasa, Madoka and Benkei are quite relieved that another DNA Blader has been taken down from thr tournament, Selen of DNA is quite angered by the result. Ian shares his concerns as well, yet Argo remains very a cosmopolite, knowing that everything shall come together in due time. Blader Guy then announces the last match of the quarterfinals that will then culminate into the "Best 4". The battle will be compromised as Zero Kurogane versus Takanosuke Shishiya.
Zero and Takanosuke are quite happy that they will be facing each-other, both who have been in the best of training to fight. The launch of their Beyblades comes in as Samurai Ifraid W145CF faces against Archer Gryph C145S. Ifraid and Gryph share their first signs of contact that already give off harsh recoil. They do not despair and are still keeping their focus on the Beyblades when Archer Gryph barrages Samurai Ifraid, similar to Sakyo and Arrow's fight.
Zero obtains scruples as a result as Ifraid just sits there helplessly being ravaged by the griffon. With his dogged attempt to meet his idol in the form of Gingka Hagane, Zero will not stand down by any means. To keep with this, he activates his signature move, Burning Upper. The katana-weidling ifrit bursts out simultaneously when Samurai Ifraid emits a blazing aura. Takanosuke is distraught when Zero has his Beyblade smack Archer Gryph to the other side of the Zero-G Stadium.
Takanosuke, undergoing a distraught that leads him to believe that he has ran out of luck. Feeling week, uneasy and helpless, Takanosuke seeks retribution when his cries call out on getting Gryph to stand together. His cries become the fuel for his Beyblade when it relives itself from Ifraid's Special Move and heads back into the battlefield. Everyone, Zero, including the audience were surprised by how quick Takanosuke recovered from that potential move that would have costed him the win. Now that both opponents are more serious than ever, Samurai Ifraid and Archer Gryph clash in an epic battle charged by their owner's determination.
Both acknowledge only onw can win, both fight to their full potential and both are beginning to lose it. The Bladers shout out for more cries and the calling out of their Bey's names. Takanosuke powers it even further when he launches a Special Move that he obtained from his fierce training with his companion, Sakyo. Creating a violet triangle, he summons the beast of Archer Gryph as it fights with Samurai Ifraid. Zero tries to counter this by using Burning Upper again, where the ifrit and the griffon go at it in one last clash. Just as this happens, an immediate explosion of light comes out and when the mist clears, Samurai Ifraid is left in spin while Archer Gryph had succumbed to an out-spin.
Everyone in Neo Battle Bladers is shocked at these results as Blader Guy announces how Zero has made it to the semi-finals and is officially, part of the Best 4. While Zero cheers in victory for his completion of the fight, Takanosuke is just irritated at himself for failing to impress Sakyo. Sakyo is just calm as he acknowledges the results with the climax of Neo Battle Bladers is soon to come.
