Beyblade: Metal Fury

Known as Metal Fight Beyblade 4D in Japan, the third Metal Saga season and sixth Beyblade anime season overall is built around Takara Tomy's then-new '4D System' Beyblades. Protagonist Gingka Hagane is revealed to be a Legendary Blader, one of the few able to wield a Star Fragment shard needed to stop the God of Destruction, Nemesis, and travels the world gathering the remaining Legendary Bladers. The season is also notable for cutting the show to a 15-minute broadcast slot for much of its run and for switching DVD distribution to Warner Home Video.
