Back in October 2019, Netflix added a bit more anime for the discerning fan to check out as the twenty-six episode first “season” of Beyblade Burst Turbo is now on it. With this being outside of Japan, it’s in English as it saw broadcast through DisneyXD. The original series ran fifty-one episodes over a year and the rest of it will be coming at a later date via Netflix. Check out the series page.
Now, the series is getting ready to expire after four years, which is a fairly standard streaming contract length for a property like this, as it’ll be removed from the service on October 1st, 2023. We don’t expect a renewal, or at least a quick one, so if you’re watching it we definitely recommend wrapping it up sooner than later.
The series had Katsuhito Akiyama as the chief director with Kentaro Yamaguchi directing based on the series composition by Hideki Sonoda.
The English cast includes Laura Stahl as Aiger Akabane, Austin Lee Matthews as Xander Shakadera, Billy Kametz as Fubuki Sumiye, Brandon Winckler as Lui Shirosagi, Derek Stephen Prince as Ranjiro Kiyama, Jeannie Tirado as Laban Vanot, Kimlinh Tran as Valt Aoi, and Kyle McCarley as Suoh Genji.
Plot Concept: Aiger Akabane is a wild child, who grew up surrounded by nature. Inspired by a chance Bey battle with Valt Aoi, Aiger sets his sights on becoming an invincible Blader with the help of his Turbo Bey, Z Achilles. Battling powerful opponents and seeking strength; Aiger sets out to defeat Valt and claim the title of World Champion. Here begins Aiger’s tale of epic adventures and fierce battles on his way to the top.
