The '4D' stands for 'different' materials, 'divided' (multi-part construction), 'dynamic,' and 'deep' customizability. The '4D' of the anime title comes from the game franchise's revised '4D' system. The third season of the Metal Fight Beyblade series will entitled as Metal Fight Beyblade 4D.

The sixth season for the overall series was announced in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic magazine. This season aired in Japan between April 4, 2010, and March 27, 2011. In 2010, Nelvana announced that they were looking at parties interested in the fifth season of Beyblade and the second season of the Metal Saga, to go under the name Metal Masters. It premiered in North America in the fall of 2010 to YTV and Cartoon Network. The first season of the series aired in Japan's TV Tokyo between April 5, 2009, and March 28, 2010. The new series was thus produced by Tatsunoko Pro and SynergySP, and co-produced by Nelvana, who announced the release of 51 episodes of Metal Fight Beyblade, named Beyblade: Metal Fusion in English. TV Tokyo agreed if Nelvana would be co-producer for the series and if TV Tokyo could air the episodes first. As a result, Nelvana entered into talks with TV Tokyo to revise the series.

Since then, many toys and series have been produced in North America and Asia, but many were not as well received as the original series. The original Beyblade series led Nelvana to many awards and won the toy of the year award in 20. One of the recruits of the Dark Nebula Organization is Tsubasa Otori. Kyouya Tategami and Benkei from the Face Hunters aid Gingka on his quest to defeat the evil Dark Nebula organization and Ryuga, a man with the Legendary Bey known as Lightning L-Drago. He eventually meets up with a boy named Kenta Yumiya, and the two become fast friends. The plot follows the adventures of Gingka Hagane, a beyblader who is searching for his hidden past.

The chapter names appeared for the first time in the volume compilation. The chapters were released without a title during the serialisation, where they were identified only by an arc name and a chapter number. The first volume was released on March 27, 2009, and the last on March 28, 2012. Shogakukan later compiled the chapters into eleven shinsÅban volumes. In Japan, they were published in the monthly CoroCoro Comic magazine, from September 2008 to February 2012. The Metal Fusion manga was written and illustrated by Takafumi Adachi. It premiered on TV Tokyo on April 5, 2009, and aired until December 23, 2012. This anime was produced by Tatsunoko Pro and SynergySP.

The manga inspired an anime production named Beyblade: Metal Saga, which encompasses four seasons: Metal Fusion, Metal Masters, Metal Fury and Shogun Steel. 39 (International version) (List of episodes)
