The highly anticipated second season of the Beyblade X anime officially premiered on Disney XD in English on Saturday, July 26, 2025. New episodes of the popular spinning-top series will air weekly on Saturdays at 7:30 a.m. EDT.
The Journey to X Tower Continues
Beyblade X centers on amateur blader Robin Kazami, who dreams of becoming a professional. After a crushing defeat leaves him without a team, Robin has a chance encounter with former champion Jaxon Cross, who now battles under the alias “Blader X.” They join forces with the mega-popular influencer Multi Nana-iro to form Team Persona, aiming to climb “The X” – a towering structure where the best bladers compete to reach the top. The ultimate goal is to challenge the reigning champions, Team Pendragon, led by Khrome Ryugu.
