Errors[]
- In the final shots of Sword Valtryek when spinning in its Hyper-Flux state, it can be seen with its Retsu Layer Weight flipped.
- In the dub, Taka mispronounces Ichika's name as "E-chee-ka" instead of "Each-ka".
Trivia[]
- Beginning with this season, Japanese episodes are now 11 minutes long. Because of this, two Japanese episodes are combined to make one 22-minute English episode. This would continue up through Prince vs. Prince! Darkness and Light!.
- This is the first Beyblade Burst episode to air in America before it does in Canada.
- In the localized version of the episode when Dante and Arman talk about their Beys, the breakdown visuals of Ace Dragon and Bushin Ashindra's Layers are replaced with extended shots of the Bladers with Arman's being modified to make his mouth move when talking.
- This is the first Burst premiere episode where Valt Aoi does not speak in the English preview.
- When Dante says "so this is the original birthplace of Beyblade, huh?", two men can be seen in the background doing the Beyxcerise dance as the song played as the scene's soundtrack.
