Character and cast information & comments

Kurosu Ex (CV: Souma Saito)
Beyblade used: Doran Sword 3-60F
A former member of the X Tower champion team "Pendragon.
He is an elusive character who declares, "Beyblades are for fun.
He boasts an undefeated record with his overwhelming strength and speed, but disappeared as soon as he reached the "summit.
When he reappeared in X City, he hid his identity with a helmet and called himself "Masked X," and became a professional again.
He becomes a professional again, this time to fight against his former teammate and current champion, Chrom Ryugu.
He forms the team "Persona" with Bird and takes on the X Tower.

Souma Saito
I will never forget those unforgettable boyhood days of go-shooting at my friend's house day in and day out.
I am so excited to be able to be involved in Beyblade, which I was so passionate about, as a voice actor.
Ex is a boy who just loves Bey. However, he is not just a sparkling boy.
He will surely show us something we can't see.
He is the hottest and coolest in both anime and hobby, so let's get excited together! Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Kazami Bird (CV: Shuichiro Umeda)
Beyblade: Hell's Size 4-60T

An amateur blader who came to X City to become a pro.
He was the strongest in his hometown, but was severely defeated by a professional.
He was abandoned by his friends and despairs, but he meets "Masked X" and forms the team "Persona".
At first, she was suspicious of Masked X, but seeing his unrivaled strength and the way he truly enjoys Beyblade, she remembers how much she loved Beyblade. He vows to never give up, even if he has no talent, and aims for the "top" of the tower.

Shuichiro Umeda
Always full of passion for Beyblade, Shuichiro Umeda is a straightforward and passionate Beyblader.
I feel that his challenge to Beyblade battles with all his might and his hard work in training without giving up are filled with the charm that moves people's hearts.
I myself am excited to see how Bird will grow and develop through his encounters with many other Bladers.
I hope you will enjoy watching his challenges and growth!

Multi Nanashiki (CV: Ruriko Noguchi)
Beyblade: Wizard Arrow 4-80B / Night Shield 3-80N / Knightrance 4-80HN

An influencer with over 10 million registered users on SNS.
Her style of using different Beyblades while changing characters is extremely popular among people of all ages and genders.
While she is a glamorous person who can dexterously handle anything, she is also a diligent and hard-working person.
And even Multi has his own reasons for aiming for the "top" of the X Tower...

Ruriko Noguchi
I am Ruriko Noguchi, and I will be voicing the character of Multi Nanashiki. My name is Ruriko Noguchi.
I am very happy to be able to jump into the world of Beyblade, which has been loved for many years.
As the name suggests, I will do my very best to play the role of Multi, who is active in seven different colors, so that you can feel her charm.
I hope you will enjoy watching the heated battles between the beys and the interactions between the unique characters.
Thank you very much for your cooperation!

The OP and ED are performed by "ONE OK ROCK" & "aespa"!

Opening theme: "Prove" by ONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK
We are pleased to announce that we will be in charge of the opening theme for "BEYBLADE X".
Prove" is from the album "Luxury Disease" released last year, and I think it is a rock number that fits the world view of "BEYBLADE X".
We hope you will enjoy it along with the opening image of the anime.
Both ONE OK ROCK and Beyblade are from Japan and share the same spirit of challenging the world, so we are happy to collaborate with them this time.

Ending theme: "ZOOM ZOOM" aespa

aespa
ZOOM ZOOM" is a very positive and up-tempo song that suits "BEYBLADE X" very well.
We are also very fond of anime, so we were very happy when we heard about this.
This is also the first time for us to have our song used as the theme song in Japan, so we hope many people will listen to it.
