At the dawn of a new day, a fragment of a star enters the Earth's atmosphere: it is the same one that created Pegasus and L-Drago. But this phenomenon does not go unnoticed because the young scientist Yuki is ready to discover all its secrets. This is how the first episode of Beyblade begins: Metal Fury, number 103 of the entire Saga. After all, fans already know the story. Beyblade Metal Fury is a manga cartoon, aired in Japan from April 2011 to March 2012, for a total of 51 episodes, never seen in Italy.

The protagonists of the new series are characters who in their Bey possess a fragment of a star that makes them Legendary Bladers around which the whole story revolves. Nemesis, the god of destruction, in fact, wants to take over the world to dominate it and these heroes will be the only ones able to stop him. The protagonist, Gingka Hagane, and his friends will have to travel around the world in search of the other Legendary Bladers, aware that they are the only ones able to save humanity from its fate. The protagonist of Beyblade Metal Fury is still Gingka, as in the previous series, and Pegasus is his Beyblade. After discovering that he is a Legendary Blader, he sets out in search of the others and begins the new adventure. A pair of large glasses and a hair that does not go unnoticed are two of the characteristics that distinguish, however, Yuki Mizusawa, the young astronomer and scientist, who has also become a Legendary Blader with his Anubis. He too decides to join Gingka and his friends in the search for the other heroes after witnessing the entry of star fragments into the Earth's atmosphere. In fact, this phenomenon causes an explosion with beams of light that hit various parts of the world and various people, including Yuki, who realizes that his bey has become brilliant. Thus he understands that others may have suffered the same fate and begins the search. But it is not the only one. A mysterious young man named Johannes also seeks information on the Legendary Bladers and attacks Yuki to do so. Sending him is Pluto, a faithful servant of the evil god Nemesis, armed with his ruthless Fusion Hades AD145SWD. The story thus begins by enriching itself with other characters. There is, for example, Madoka Amano. Big green eyes, brown hair and a jaunty look, arrives in this new series with a renewed graphics. He is the mechanic of the group and, despite his slender and childlike figure, he knows all the secrets of electronics and motors well. This is why she is ready to give advice to Gingka and her team, often using her PC to discover their strengths and weaknesses.

Already from the first episode the characters of the various characters begin to take shape. Like, for example, during a local Beyblade tournament during which Gingka, despite being the speaker who comments, lets himself go to an unbridled cheering towards his friend Kenta, thus breaking all the rules. But it is from the second episode that the story begins and the meeting between Yuki and the team takes place. In fact, while Yuki is engaged in a battle against Johannes, Gingka and his group spend their time training in battles. Under the gaze of Madoka and Hikaru, Kyoya fights Benkei by defeating him and Gingka collides with Kenta, knocking him out, thanks to his special finishing move. Running away from Johannes, Yuki runs into the team and asks for help just before collapsing to the ground. He is taken to the hospital and here, when he wakes up, he tells the group everything he has discovered. His grandfather had already told him about the Star Fragment and he, intrigued, decided to study it; he had thus witnessed the phenomenon of the explosion and the formation of the ten beams of light, one of which had hit his Bey, Anubius, endowing him with the Star Fragment power. A being called Nemesis, however, was trying to harness this power to take over the Earth. Yuki continues to tell and tells the group that there are other Legendary Bladers around the world and much more powerful, two of which are Gingka and Kyoya. The group is intrigued by the story and decides to believe in Yuki starting this new adventure. But they do not realize that they are being spied on by Johannes who will do everything to hinder their search.
