Beyblade Burst Evolution

Known as Beyblade Burst God in Japan, this is the second Burst season and ninth Beyblade season overall, airing April 2017 to March 2018. Valt Aoi is scouted from the Japanese Championship to Spain's BC Sol and must win the European League to reach the World League and test himself against the world's strongest Bladers. Netflix carried the first 26 episodes from November 2018 and the remaining 25 in 2019, later removing them in stages during 2021-2022; it also streams on Prime Video, Apple TV and DisneyNOW.
