Beyblade Burst Surge

Second Burst season, after Rise, where the Japanese and English versions do not begin in the same year.

First Burst season without a dedicated elite Blader team, featuring the 'Legendary Bladers' instead.

First 'Burst' season where the opening theme is not reused in the Japanese next-episode preview; an alternate version of 'Sparking Revolution' plays instead.

Second Burst season, after Turbo, to reuse its own theme song, 'We Got the Spin,' as the English eyecatcher instead of a new track.

This is the first time in the Beyblade Burst franchise that two Japanese episodes air together on the same day.

This is the first time Rantaro and Ranjiro are shown together in the present day.

It is also the first instance in the Burst franchise of two bladers wielding variant builds of the same Beyblade together.

Free's vision of a corrupted Lain echoes his own earlier experience witnessing Aiger Akabane's corrupted resonance during Beyblade Burst Turbo.

The English title echoes Beyblade Burst Turbo Episode 25's 'Super Dragon! Geist Fafnir!', the first of several such title callbacks in Surge.

Hikaru narrates the first half's title card and Hyuga narrates the second half's.

Lui's Lightning Launch visibly borrows from his old Nightmare Boost launch style.

Both brothers narrate the first title card together, then Hyuga narrates the second alone.

In the manga, Lain debuted with Origin Uranus rather than an already-completed Lucius.

This is the first time in Beyblade Burst that a Bey is shown upgraded into an entirely different Beyblade.

Lain's power-hungry arc mirrors Shu's own past turn, but from the opposite trigger — Shu spiraled after losing to Free, Lain after beating him.

From here on, Vex Lucius's avatar wings are drawn longer.

The Japanese episode originally ran under a fake title to hide Tempest Dragon's reveal.

This is the first Surge episode to gather all nine bladers from the January–March 2020 Legendary Blader campaign poster.

This episode reveals Aiger kept his World Champion title, contradicting the Superking manga where Valt retains it instead.

It's the first Burst episode to pair a season's protagonist with the main antagonist as tag partners.

The English title deliberately echoes Turbo's 'Trial By Fire! Defeat Lui!', both being each season's 15th English episode built around defeating a top rival.

This episode introduces Superking's third opening and second ending themes, plus a new title card design.

In the manga, the brothers' inspiration to evolve came from Shu's match with Lain instead of Valt's.

Lain evolving his Bey out of post-loss frustration mirrors Shu's own reaction to losing to Lui in the past.

The English title deliberately echoes Turbo's 'Spirit of Flame! Turbo Spryzen!'.

The Japanese episode originally ran under a placeholder title to hide Lucifer The End's name.

The simulation glitch replacing Valt and Lain's faces with Wakiya's nods to Valt hallucinating Wakiya's face during Beyblade Burst Evolution.

Several battle visuals in this episode are reused animation from earlier Beyblade Burst Rise episodes, including Wizard Fafnir and Venom Devolos shots repurposed for Satomb and Fafnir.

The Japanese episode originally ran under a placeholder title to hide Jet Wyvern's reveal.
