Team Psykick create cyborg imitations of the original Bladebreakers who were eventually defeated by the Bladebreakers and reverted to their normal selves. The Saint Shields also attack the Bladebreakers fearing that the Bladebreakers’ bit beasts could go out of control so they planned to seal them away.

The only original members in the Bladebreakers are Takao, Hiromi and Kenny. New members of the Bladebreakers are Sumeragi Daichi and Takao’s brother, Granger Hiro. After the results of the World Championships, Boris declares that all Beyblade shops must sell all their parts to Beybladers associated with BEGA alone or else they’ll be forced to close down.
The Beybladers find beyblade parts in a store belonging to Max’s family where Kenny decides the team must make Beyblades out of different parts they find instead of a Beyblade made out of set parts because of the lack of available parts. They are in need of one more Beyblader when Kai decides to join the team after failing to get into BEGA.
