In the UK the series ran on the TV channel Cartoon Network.ĭrastic changes had been made to appeal to a younger Western audience. The series was licensed for distribution by Nelvana for other territories. As a response to this, Beyblade would not see another storyline related instalment until 2008 with the Metal Fight Beyblade manga. The Original Series aired on TV Tokyo in Japan.ĭespite the manga running for a while longer then the anime, both ended by 2004 and focus was put on the Beyblade toy. V-Force therefore was mostly filler content, it barely referenced Season 1's events at all and even had a few continuity errors in regards to details about things such as details about Beyblade or the Bit-Beasts. V-Force was the only part of the anime that was not tied to the manga as the first season, since the Bakuten Shoot Beyblade manga chapters were monthly. Some other elements of the story, such as Tyson's own family were largely glossed over and Tyson's mother's death was briefly mentioned. Though events were often tied to the anime, storyline changes were made such as those concerning Kai's family. New characters and storyline elements were introduced to fill out the manga storyline.

While the anime used a number of elements from the Bakuten Shoot Beyblade manga such as characters, for the most part elements were carried over into the anime and handled very differently.


However, it was the success of the manga itself that would lead to an anime based on the manga. 3.3 Beyblade: The Movie - Fierce Battleīakuten Shoot Beyblade was the 3 marketing method to promote the toys, with the first being video games such as Next Generation Beigoma Battle: Beyblade and second being the Bakuten Shoot Beyblade manga.
