Beyblade

Tyson is at home practising martial arts with his grandfather when suddenly he realizes he's late for a Beyblade battle with Andrew. As he runs out of his house he's confronted by a couple of bullies who only slow him up for his real battle. But when Tyson does show up, Andrew and his friends are met by a smart mouthed kid named Carlos who's a member of the notorious Blade Sharks.

Tyson battles Kai one on one, but to his surprise, Tyson quickly loses. The Chief informs Tyson, that in order to beat Kai, you need a strategy, so Tyson goes home in an attempt to practice until he's perfected his fighting technique. Later that day, Andrew and Kenny, along with Dizzi show up and attempt to increase the power of Tyson's blade to match that of Kai, but with little success.

In a moment of heroism, Max, the new Beyblader in town, shows Tyson that with the proper skill and training, there is nothing that can’t be achieved. The two soon become fast friends, leaving Kenny feeling left out.

The Beyblade Regional Qualifying Tournament is underway as Tyson, Max, Ray and even Kenny are entered to see if they can dethrone Kai, the reigning champion. As our announcers, Brad Best and A.J. Topper rev up the crowd, Kenny is first into battle but without a Bit Beast in his blade, he falls quickly to Kai.

Max is completely overpowered in his semi-finals match against Kai. It’s not until the Bit Beast known as Draciel emerges from Max’s Grandmother’s pendant, to add its power to Max’s Beyblade that the tables begin to turn.

The Qualifying Tournament is in its final stages as Tyson has advanced to face Ray in the semi-finals. As the best of three battles gets underway, Tyson's bravado quickly fades as Ray handily wins the first round when he destroys Tyson's Beyblade with his famous Tiger Claw Attack.
