Beyblade X anime series premieres in October, with theme by ONE OK ROCK

The official website for the anime adaptation of the Beyblade X project by Takara Tomy has released a new promotional video. The video features the anime's opening song, "Prove," by the rock band ONE OK ROCK. This marks the first time the band has provided a title song for a TV anime. The ending theme, "ZOOM ZOOM," is performed by aespa. The anime is scheduled to air on October 6.





The main cast of the anime has also been announced:

- Sōma Saitō as Ekusu Kurosu

- Shūichirō Umeda as Bird Kazami

- Ruriko Noguchi as Multi Nanairo

The characters' names feature thematic elements related to "X," "sky," and "rainbow," though the official romanizations have yet to be confirmed.

The Beyblade X anime is helmed by industry veteran Katsuhito Akiyama as chief director. Sotsu Terada will direct the series at OLM, having previously worked on various installments of the Beyblade series. The original concept and scenario support come from Hikaru Muno, while Kazuho Hyodo is in charge of the series' scripts. The original character designs are by Posuka Demizu, with Yoshihiro Nagamori adapting them for animation.

Beyblade X is described by Takara Tomy as the "4th generation" of the Beyblade franchise, following the original 1999 series, 2008's Beyblade: Metal Fusion, and 2015's Beyblade Burst. The project was first announced earlier this year in March.
