The highly anticipated second season of the Beyblade X anime officially premiered on Disney XD on Saturday, July 26, 2025. New episodes of the popular spinning-top series will air weekly on Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. EDT.
The Return to the X Tower
Beyblade X is the latest iteration of the beloved Beyblade franchise, which originated as a toy line from Takara Tomy and Hasbro. The anime adaptation, produced by OLM, first debuted in Japan on TV Tokyo in October 2023. The series globally premiered its first season in July 2024, with the English dub airing on Disney XD, DisneyNow, and Hulu.
The narrative of Beyblade X follows amateur Blader Robin Kazami, who finds himself without a team after a significant defeat. A pivotal encounter with former champion Jaxon Cross, who now battles under the alias “Blader X,” leads them to form an unlikely alliance. Their goal is to climb back to the top of “The X,” the pinnacle of professional Beyblade, and challenge the current champion, Khrome Ryugu. With the addition of popular influencer Multi Nana-iro, their newly formed “Team Persona” sets its sights on going pro and securing their position at the top.

The second season of Beyblade X officially commenced its run in Japan on October 18, 2024, introducing a new arc to the story. The English dub‘s premiere on Disney XD on July 26, 2025, follows an exclusive first look at the premiere episode during a Beyblade X panel at Anime Expo on July 4, 2025, in Los Angeles.

World Championship Tournament
In conjunction with the anime’s continued popularity, a Beyblade X tournament was held at Anime Expo on July 5, 2025. This tournament offered bladers aged 13 and over the chance to qualify for the World Championship Tournament in Tokyo, scheduled for October 11-12, 2025. The winner of the Anime Expo tournament secured a paid trip to Tokyo to compete. Participants were encouraged to bring their own Hasbro Beyblade X Tops, though a limited selection was available for borrowing.
The Enduring Legacy of Beyblade
Beyblade X represents the “fourth generation” of the Beyblade franchise, building upon the foundations laid by the original 1999 Beyblade, 2008’s Beyblade: Metal Fusion, and 2015’s Beyblade Burst. The manga, created by Homura Kawamoto, Hikaru Muno, and Posuka Demizu, has been serialized in Shogakukan’s CoroCoro Comic since May 2023. The consistent release of new anime seasons and the ongoing engagement through tournaments highlight the franchise’s enduring global appeal.
