The Beyblade X anime has left the arena — and it's heading somewhere no previous chapter has gone: a country ruled by Beyblade. The new BeyKingdom Arc (ベイキングダム編) premiered October 9 on the franchise's official YouTube channel, BeyTube, opening the show's fourth season.
That premiere finishes a busy twelve months for the anime, so here's the state of play.
Where season three left off
Season 3 wrapped on September 18 with its 134th episode, closing out the battle with the Kurosu Clan. The season had begun a year earlier, on October 24, 2025, airing Fridays at 6:25 p.m. on TV Tokyo with the i-dle opening "Invincible" and imase's "Vortex" as its ending theme.
But the more interesting story was behind the scenes. In April 2026, the show's "True Future Arc" stopped premiering on TV Tokyo and moved its debuts to BeyTube, with a double-length opening episode on April 17. It returned to television on July 10. For a franchise built around a traditional weekend broadcast slot, that was a notable experiment — and the new chapter suggests it wasn't a one-off.
A kingdom where everything is decided
BeyKingdom Arc leans fully into the streaming-first model. New episodes go up Fridays at 7:00 p.m. JST on BeyTube, with same-week availability on U-NEXT, ABEMA, d-Anime Store, Prime Video, DMM TV, and others. If BeyTube felt like a temporary detour during the True Future Arc, it's now the show's home base.
The premise is the show's biggest swing yet. After Team Persona stopped the Kurosu Clan and, in the official description, "seized the future," they're summoned to BeyKingdom — a nation where Beyblade battles decide everything. There, 99 princes compete for the throne in the "Spin Crown War," and Persona are recruited as stand-ins for the 88th Prince, Dima Dil Kanz.
The quiet prince rarely speaks, but his love for his country is said to run deeper than anyone's, and while he's clearly no rookie, why he needs a proxy is still a mystery. The official synopsis also teases a hidden grudge between BeyKingdom and Persona — the kind of hook that promises the series' usual escalation.
New cast, new music
Dima Dil Kanz is voiced by Masaya Miyazaki, and the arc arrives with two new theme songs. The opening, "Fearless," is by &TEAM, the nine-member global group out of Japan, and hit streaming on October 10. The ending, "SPIN," comes from hard-rock band BAND-MAID, with its single out October 28. Both tracks were announced on September 17 alongside the new key visual, which sets Team Persona against the arc's towering, walled city.
"X has crossed into a new limit," the tagline teases. After a season defined by family grudges and a fight for the future itself, the leap to royal succession feels like a deliberate step into stranger, fresher territory. Whether Persona's swerve into palace politics holds up — and how deep BeyKingdom's grudge runs — is now the show's most interesting question. For now, BeyTube is the only ticket you need.

In the run-up to the premiere, &TEAM and BAND-MAID's fourteen members each posed with a Beyblade in a daily countdown on the franchise's official X account, ending the day before the first episode aired.
