MIPCOM, CANNES – October 15, 2018 –
Get ready to celebrate, Bladers! BEYBLADE BURST TURBO is racing to Disney XD with 51 all-new episodes debuting later this year. Further details will be released soon. The popular kids' TV channel has licensed a third season of the hit animated BEYLADE BURST series from New York City-based Entertainment Rights management company, SUNRIGHTS INC. The announcement, made by SUNRIGHTS president Daizo Suzuki, comes in the wake of Disney XD airings of BEYBLADE BURST Seasons 1 and 2.

“The BEYBLADE brand has truly become a global phenomenon, generating numerous successful TV series, toy lines and other licensed products around the world,” said Suzuki. “We are elated to continue this momentum, partnering with Disney XD to bring an all-new season of BEYBLADE BURST to the United States. With new storylines, characters and action, fans are sure to love BEYBLADE BURST TURBO.”

BEYBLADE BURST TURBO introduces the story of Aiger Akabane, a wild child who grew up surrounded by nature. Inspired by a chance Bey battle with World Champion Valt Aoi, Aiger sets his sights on becoming an invincible Blader with the help of his Turbo Bey, Z Achilles. Battling powerful opponents and seeking strength, Aiger sets out to earn a chance to unseat Valt and claim the title of World Champion. Here begins Aiger's tale of epic adventures and fierce battles on his way to the top.
