BeyWarriors: BeyRaiderz is an Canadian/Japanese anime series, a spin-off of the series Beyblade. While it has been produced in Japan, it has yet to be aired in Japanese. BeyRaiderz has been commissioned by Nelvana to act as a solo series consisting of 13-episodes. The series was originally announced as BeyRaiderz: Shogun but has since been renamed BeyWarriors: BeyRaiderz. The series acts as a continuation to BeyWheelz as it continues to follow the story of Sho, Jin, and Leon.

Plot

In an unknown land, 6 guardian beasts provide protection and help cities to thrive through battles called BeyRaiderz. An unknown evil arises to take on the 6-guardian figures, forcing the six to unite together. At the end of the battle the land is protected, but the guardians fall into a slumber that allows many natural disasters to occur and causes the land to lose its beauty and the people to forget about BeyRaiderz battles. As the six guardian beasts begin to awaken, they call on six BeyWarriors from other lands. The six BeyWarriors are each given BeyRaiderz and charged with going from coliseum arena to coliseum arena to battle. Battling enough times will allow the spirits to reawaken, and it can't happen soon enough as the same darkness that caused them to unite is reawakening and threatens to destroy the world once more.

BeyWarriors & their BeyRaiderz

• Sho Tenma (Samurai Ifrit) is the protagonist of the show. He is a light-hearted and friendly person and is the first BeyWarrior that Rachel and Jimmy meet. Sho always looks at the bright side and might appear a little carefree, but in battles his true, seemingly endless potential comes to the surface. He is voiced by Christopher Jacot.
• Jin Ryu (Ronin Dragoon) is Sho's best friend. He is a silent and level-headed character who has a strong sense of sportsmanship. He takes everything very seriously and functions as a voice of reason for his friends. He is voiced by Austin Di Iulio.
• Leon Fierce (Berserker Byakko) is the last of Sho's original friends. He appears rough and a little rude, but once you get to know him he turns out to be a very caring person.

He is voiced by Zachary Bennett.
• Armes Navy (Guardian Leviathian) is a BeyWarrior like Sho and his friends. Not much is currently known about Armes, but he doesn't appear to take friendship easily and seems to be a loner. He is voiced by Terry McGurrin.
• Ricky Gills (Gladiator Bahamoote) is a very outgoing person. He's always the first one to look for a way to help someone in trouble, and he wants to be everyone's friend. He seems a little gullible to the forces of darkness. He is voiced by Scott Gorman.

Within The Series

A BeyRaiderz is basically a toy car that is powered by a Beyblade. A battle is done head-to-head within an arena. A center stage holds tokens that are released by mechanical hands. The goal is to secure the most tokens and power up your BeyRaiderz spirit. An odd number of tokens is always used, with a minimum of 3 tokens being held.
