BeyWarriors:BeyRaiderz is an anime series,a spin-off of the series Beyblade . [1] While it has been produced in Japan,it has yet to be aired in Japanese. BeyRaiderz has been commissioned by Nelvana to act as a solo series consisting of 13-episodes. The series was originally announced as BeyRaiderz:Shogun,but has since been renamed BeyWarriors:BeyRaiderz. [2] The series acts as a continuation to BeyWheelz as it continues to follow the story of Sho,Jin,and Leon. [3]
In an unknown land,six guardian beasts provide protection and help cities to thrive through battles called BeyRaiderz. An unknown evil arises to take on the six guardian figures,forcing the six to unite. At the end of the battle the land is protected,but the guardians fall into a slumber. This allows many natural disasters to occur,causing the land to lose its beauty and the people to forget about BeyRaiderz battles. As the six guardian beasts begin to awaken,they call on six BeyWarriors from other lands. The six BeyWarriors are each given BeyRaiderz and charged with going from coliseum arena to coliseum arena to battle. Battling enough times will allow the spirits to reawaken,and it can't happen soon enough as the same darkness that caused them to unite is reawakening and threatens to destroy the world once more.

With the team battle completed,both Samurai Ifrit and Berserker Byakko are released.

Jin refuses to teach him,saying he doesn't have the time because it will take more than a day to learn his technique. Atsushi reveals that a gang of thugs has attacked their crops,and one of his friends blurted out he could smash a stone,so that's why he wants to learn. Jin teaches him it's more powerful to be honest than to try to learn something. Atsushi agrees to lead the group to the arena,but what he doesn't know is the group of thugs is looking for him. Jin and Leon invite them to come watch a BeyRaiderz battle instead of watching the stone be smashed. Jin and Leon compete at an active volcano's arena. 5 tokens are available.
