Beyblade Battle Base

The Beyblade Battle Base (ベイブレードバトルベース, Beiburēdo Batoru Bēsu), also known by the abbreviation B4(ビーフォー), is an organization in Beyblade X. B4 is the X Series successor to the previous wbba., WBBA, and BBA organizations.

Official Takara Tomy "Gear Sports" tournaments, including those held in sponsored stores, are held under the B4 banner. B4 is also responsible for the organization of major international tournaments.

Fictional

In the anime and manga, B4 serves as the world Beyblade management organization, and manages the X Tower. The Pro League is a sports league and the top level of professional Beyblading in the world.

History

The first G2 tournament, the "X-Treme Cup", was held between August and October 2023 in 4 different cities. Participation was open to elementary school students and older. The entry fee was 6,000 yen (tax included) and included a tournament uniform, which must be worn during the tournament.

The first G1 tournament, the "X-Treme Cup", was a Regular-class tournament held on December 9 and 10, 2023. Participation was limited to elementary school students and older. The entry fee was 3,000 yen (tax included) and includes a "G1 Special Battle Pass Sheet" for the Beybattle Pass, and 1000 Beypoints. Participation was limited to a lottery, where 512 winners could play. The top 16 players of the first day's qualifying tournament then proceeded to the second day's finals tournament.

The first GP tournament, the "X-Treme Cup GP 2024" was held in the second half of 2024. Several qualifying tournaments were held throughout Japan in the months of August and September, with a final tournament at Sunshine City in Tokyo on October 27th, 2024. The "X-Treme Cup GP 2024" consisted of Open-class tournaments, meaning Bladers of any age could participate. The Regular-class equivalent was the "Japan Championship 2024", which was restricted to elementary school students. The winners of the "X-Treme Cup GP 2024" and "Japan Championship 2024" were "Tatsuki" of WARIBEY and "13-Sousuke" respectively. These two Bladers would later represent Japan at the "Asia Championship 2024" tournament.

Trivia

The organization's abbreviation, "B4", refers to the four "B"s in its full name.
The page URLs for the Asia Championship 2024 and Japan Championship 2024 refer to the tournaments as G2 and G1 respectively, although they do not follow typical tournament structures.
