Originally serialized in Shogakukan's CoroCoro Comic from September 1999 to July 2004, the individual chapters were collected and published in 14 tankōbon volumes and was licensed for English-language release in North America by Viz Media.
Tyson and Kai develop a rivalry that leads to him discovering that his Beyblade contains a Bit-Beast named Dragoon.
Seeking to challenge Kai again, Tyson competes in the Japanese Regional Beyblade Qualifying Tournament and befriends fellow competitors, Ray Kon and Max Tate, both of whom possess their own Bit-Beast.
After winning the tournament, Tyson goes on to form a team with Kai, Ray and Max named the Bladebreakers.
After this, Tyson and his friends arrive in the United States to fight the All Starz, who are coached by Max's mother.
Kai, shocked by the power of Dranzer, does not notice the ice beneath him cracking and falls into the frozen water below.
These teenagers were pure-hearted and innocent bladers with high ambitions, but the dark power of the cyber Bit-Beasts gradually take over their minds and turn them evil.
Tyson, Ray, Kai and Max battle Kane, Salima, Goki and Jim respectively and defeat them.
After defeating the Saint Shields, Tyson meets Zeo and befriends him without knowing that he is the son of Team Psykick's leader.
Dr. Zagart gives Zeo a bit beast named Cerberus, the strongest Bit-Beast sealed in the rock.
Zeo enters the world Beyblade tournament with the motive of defeating all the Bladebreakers members and stealing their Bit-Beasts.
Kai, Ray, and Max left Tyson and went their separate ways to rejoin their old teams so that they have a chance to beat each other at the World Championship which has been re-designed with tag-teams of two.
One week after the results of the World Championships, Boris, the secondary villain from the first season, returns and creates the new Beyblade Entertainment Global Association, (BEGA) replacing the BBA.
Boris tries to fool Tyson and co. into believing he has made up for his past, while he is actually trying to gain control over all Bladers and Beyblading activity.
Tyson challenges BEGA's best to a battle, and Boris decides to hold a 5-on-5 tournament in one month's time.
But they still needed one more blader, and that is when Kai, who tried to join BEGA but lost severely to Brooklyn, disbanded the Blitzkrieg Boys and rejoined the team now known as the G Revolutions.
As the final fight rages on, Brooklyn goes berserk and merges with his bit-beast Zeus which threatens to destroy the entire universe.
in the end Tyson is able to absorb the powers of every single Bit-Beast and after a final attack, Brooklyn became normal while both blades were still spinning (but the match after that was not shown assumed as a draw).
Spanning 51 episodes, the series aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from January 8, 2001, to December 24, 2001.
