Trivia
- This is the first English opening sequence to consist of brand-new visuals exclusive to it and to not feature any visuals from the episodes.
- This is the first and only English opening sequence to feature sound effects for visuals other than the logo animation.
- This is the only Burst opening sequence to not feature the season's main logo animation.
- QuadStrike's opening is the first piece of English media from Beyblade Burst to use text or the logo in the background, as all instances of text in the background in previous openings had been removed. This is possibly due to the opening debuting as English media.
- Along with the exclusive visuals from the TV Size opening, the music video also uses visuals from the following:

- Darkness Turns to Light is the first opening sequence in the entire series to be used as the opening theme in both the Japanese and English dubs of the Beyblade anime. This would begin the trend to not have openings changed in localized releases of the anime as Prove would later be used in the English dub of the Beyblade X anime.
