Beyblade: Rising

Beyblade: Rising (known as Bakuten Shoot Beyblade: Rising in Japan) is an anime series produced by Studio Aura, Nelvana, SynergySP, and d-rights and based off the manga of the same name. The anime began airing on all TXN stations on April 2nd, 2020 (originally set for December 30th, 2019 before being delayed) and was simulcast by Crunchyroll in North America. Nelvana, Hasbro, and AuraAnime Licensing have licensed the anime in North America. A simuldub, produced simultaneously with the Japanese version, was aired on Disney XD in the United States, with an uncut dub confirmed to air on AuraNightfall and AnimeCore Extra in 2022.

On May 3rd, 2020, it was announced that the anime would be split into two 12-episode seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Episodes 13 and onward would become part of a second season, Beyblade: Rising II. Splitting longer anime into 12-episode cours has since become standard practice for Studio Aura series running more than 12-13 episodes, as most of their longer anime since Rising, with the exception of Heroes of Light: A Story about Magic, have also been aired utilizing 12-episode cours. In July 2020, it was announced that said second season would air in October 2020.

Following the end of Rising II in December 2020, Studio Aura announced that they would likely not be working on anymore anime series based on Beyblade for the foreseeable future, as a result of Rising, despite reportedly having decent ratings by Studio Aura standards, getting lower ratings than Burst Surge (another Beyblade series airing in 2020) and Studio Aura focusing more on Monster Coins. However, following the end of QuadDrive in Japan, it was announced that a 2-episode finale OVA for Rising (which would adapt the final chapters of the Rising manga) was in development for a December 2022 release. Crunchyroll and Flare+ would stream the OVA as it releases in Japan. It was subsequently announced by AuraAnime Licensing that the OVA was not planned to air on Disney XD in the United States due to its slow decline on cable.
