Since Metal Fight Beyblade's debut, thirty six chapters have been released in Japan so far. In the Monthly CoroCoro comics, the chapters do not have names, but rather an arc name and chapter number instead. The chapter names are only in the shinsōban manga volumes.

The individual chapters are collected by Shogakukan in a series of shinshōbon volumes. The first volume was released on March 27, 2009. [3] The latest volume is eight, released on April 27, 2010. [4]

The anime version of Metal Fight Beyblade's plot is written differently than in the manga. One notable difference is that in the manga, the characters Beys transform for its upgrade, while in the anime, they just switch parts or get an entirely new Bey. Another notable difference is that in the manga, the characters started off with the Metal System,(4-piece top) while in the anime they started with the Hybrid Wheel System (5-piece top). Some parts of the story are different in the anime version than in the manga, but overall the plot is the same.
