Crush Gear: Protect The Club!

Crush Gear: Protect The Club! is an anime television series that serves as a sequel/spin-off to Crush Gear Turbo/Nitro. The series is produced by Studio Aura, NFStudios/AnimeCore Extra, and Sunrise, with animation by BN Pictures. The series is set to premiere on AnimeCore Extra in October 2022, with a simulcast on Crunchyroll and Flare+. As with most 24-episode Studio Aura anime since Beyblade: Rising, the series would be split into two cours.

On May 24th, 2023, AnimeCore Extra announced that the series had been cancelled after 24 episodes, mostly due to low ratings and pacing being rushed towards the end (contrasted to the 68-episode story from the original series), on top of AnimeCore Extra focusing more on original IPs and re-adaptations of manga whose previous anime did not cover the entire story. In addition, the series would leave AnimeCore Extra and YTV 2 upon its conclusion.
