World Championships (Metal Masters)

Also known as Big Bang Bladers, the anime and manga's tournament to crown the world's best team draws nine squads from nine regions. Team GanGan Galaxy, led by Gingka Hagane, works through China's Wang Hu Zhong, Russia's Lovushka, Kyoya Tategami's Wild Fang, Julian Konzern's Excalibur, and the Garcia family's team before meeting Damian Hart's Star Breaker in the final. A Consolation Tournament runs alongside the main bracket, giving one eliminated team a Wild Card path back in. Gingka closes out the tournament by overcoming Damian's Hades Kerbecs with his own Stardust Driver.
