Beyblade Spirit News & Updates
Two New Wallpapers, Clear Designs and Site Rearrangements DATE: 12/30/08
I have added three wallpapers based on the multiple Face designs we currently have. Compared to the first five wallpapers I had made before, the actual design part is smaller; if possible, I will try to make them bigger, sometime in the future. So, here are Libra's second Face design, Wolf's and Aries': 

A link to clearer pictures of the new anime designs has been posted on Beyblade Spirit Forums. Since it is a Japanese blog, I do not want to post the direct URL on the site. 
New Ginga Hagane & Kyouya Tategami

Moreover, Beyblade Spirit is now available in two versions: this colourful one that has been used ever since the layout has changed, as well as a more red, uniform interface. You can choose to navigate on one of them on the splash page. However, the red layout will not be associated with all the pages: whenever you click on a link on the left side, it will have the red version if you chose it previously; if you visit a page through a hypertext link in the central white section of the site though, it will lead you to the normal layout. 

Also, all the previous updates can be seen on the archive, which can be accessed at the end of this page.

MFB Chapter 3 Scans & Escorpio WD145B - full look revealed! DATE: 12/17/08
One after the other. 

The third chapter of the new manga is now up thanks to Miingno! You can see Ryuuga, Hokuto, Busujima, L Drago 105F and Escorpio WD145B! Here is a preview; just click on the picture to go to the actual page with all the scans: 

WD145 looks interesting: 

Profiles for Ginga and Daidouji were updated.

WHF 2009 News and Official L Drago and Random Booster Vol. 2 pictures DATE: 12/16/08
I hope people are checking this site at least once a day, because it appears you will be missing a lot! 

WHF 09 Winter Edition
Metal Fight Beyblade will be featured in the World Hobby Fair 2009 Winter Edition. Details (in Japanese) can be seen here

Many interesting things will be done at this Japanese event: 
1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive either a Pegasis Gold Version, a Pegasis Silver Version or a Bronze Pegasis as well as a fitting Launcher Grip. 

Moreover, an L Drago Gold Version will be sold for 1400 yen only at those venues in Japan. Also, the WHF will hold the Beybattle Tournament 2009. 

Other beyblades will also be sold and (new?) merchandise should be exhibited. All of this will take place in January, so keep visiting Beyblade Spirit for fresh news! 

Hudson Soft will also be presenting Metal Fight Beyblade DS at the WHF. http://www.hudson.co.jp/event/jwf09/

Recent Releases
Here are official pictures of the Random Booster Vol.2 Legend Pisces and of L Drago 105F:  

Also, the following is a picture of Aries 125D that, as far as I know, has never been posted: 

In other news, Daidouji's anime character design gives him a yellow hair strand.

L Drago 105F & Random Booster Vol. 2's Pisces Pictures / Scans links fixed DATE: 12/15/08
Official, clearer pictures of L Drago 105F and Pisces D125BS have been published on several Japanese stores: 

(On the last picture, I believe Escorpio is the beyblade being hit.)

Coincidentally, pages for Pisces and L Drago have been added/updated in the Beyblade database. 

Moreover, the 8 blades you can get in BB-25 Random Booster Vol. 2 Legend Pisces have been revealed for the most: 
Pisces D125BS / Virgo 125BS / Virgo 100B / Aquario DF145SF / Aquario 105B / Bull DF145HF / Libra 100F / Libra D125HF [T & B Clear Ver.]
(The different colours are to help you associate each part with one beyblade on the picture. Note that the actual Tracks and Bottoms will not necessarily be coloured that way.)

Escorpio WD145B's release date is officially postponed. It is more or less official though that it will be released in February instead. 

Spoilers of the fourth chapter are available in the form of Ginga's father's profile: Ryuusei Hagane. Ginga's page was also updated. 

Finally, all the links for the first chapter of the Metal Fight Beyblade manga have been fixed. Unfortunately, the scans are smaller than the original pictures, but I have not found an appropriate site to host them on yet.

New Anime Designs & Pisces' Parts DATE: 12/14/08
Anime sneak-peeks can be observed in the next CoroCoro thanks to toxiclops' video:  

Hopefully everybody will now start liking the new series more and will stop desiring the old characters at all costs! The new designs seem decent to me : on the first picture, you can see Ginga Hagane (the biggest), then Kyouya Tategami below, and Daidouji at the bottom, slightly to the right of Kyouya. 

In the video, you can also see how L Drago 105F and Pisces D125BS look. 

As a side-update, I have replaced the two pictures in the Metal Fight Beyblade DS article with ones that did not have a yellow watermark. Basically, they are the same pictures though. 

Also, the World Beyblade Organization now offers service in Turkish! A forum is dedicated to discussion in Turkish only and the whole message board can be viewed in this language. Definitely check it out if you live in Turkey!

A NEW BEYBLADE SPIRIT ARISES! DATE: 12/07/08
This is the 'surprise' I had been hinting at.

While all the pages and overall content should remain the same, I have decided to work on a layout (coded thanks to Kuznetsov) that would not only be slightly more professional and easier to navigate with, but also one on which I could write all the news I discover almost every day concerning Metal Fight Beyblade. With this new series on the verge of its real explosive debut in April, coinciding with the beginning of the new anime, I think more people are going to want to know the latest information on everything, yet, most importantly, in one place. This is why I will do my best to update the different sections of the bar just above this main content area as soon as new information surfaces (if it is major, I should also post an update here). I suppose I should introduce you to those sections first : most of the space is reserved to Metal Fight Beyblade, so there is a section for the upcoming releases in chronological order, all 'categories' mixed (anime, manga, video game, hobby, etc.); one is dedicated only to news that concern the hobby, therefore it could contain specifications on the content of Random Boosters or Sets as well as particular and unique characteristics of a given blade; another will be used for the anime and manga, and it should basically tell you either any very important information, or anything that I could not include in the Metal Fight Beyblade Anime pages. 
To the right of those, there are two minor boxes that will hold any interesting discussions going on at Beyblade Spirit Forums ("What's up at BBS Forums?!", because nearly zero members are visiting our message board right now), and all the events, mainly sanctioned by the WBO, that are going to happen in the Beyblade community ("In the BEYUNION", which is mostly only an expression at the moment). Tournaments in the United States, in Canada and in the United Kingdom are already being planned. 

Now for the updates I have been holding back those last few weeks:

- We have two new affiliates: BeyUK and the World Beyblade Organization. Both have a lot to offer! 

- An article including all the current information we have on the new game, Metal Fight Beyblade DS, was written. It can be found on the left, under the Video Games section. 

- The pages for Aquario, Virgo, Wolf and Capricorne have slightly been updated.

- Exerts of some characters' Japanese voices have been added: Takao, Kai, Rei, Max, Daitenji, Sergei, Ralf, Giancarlo, Olivier, Johnny, Souichirou, Garland, Mystel & Ming Ming.

- Numerous Holy Beasts profiles were created; check this page to view them: bbholybeasts.htm

- A picture was added to Daidouji's profile (he is the owner of Wolf D125B). Also, I created Ryuuga's short profile. Ryuuga has L Drago 105F. 

Of course, if you have any questions or comments, you can always send me a message by e-mail or sign up on the forums and post. 

 

Surely the World Beyblade Organization has sparked your interest. Here is their first press release: 
"Since October of 2007, Beywiki has been uniting Beybladers all over the world. Founded by Bey Brad as an answer to the lack of concrete support in the Beyblade community, Beyblade quickly rocketed away from its humble origins to attain its status as the most popular Beyblade website in the world.

If one thing has been learned from the Beywiki project, it is that Beyblade has proven to be remarkably resolute all over the world. In many parts of the world where Beyblade has not been sold in many years, there are still many Bladers yearning for battle.

With Metal Fight Beyblade having launched in Japan, Beyblade has been given a second chance. However, Takara-Tomy has no plans to begin development abroad until 2010. While the WBBA -- the World Beyblade Association -- sanctions Beyblade play in Japan, there is no truly international governing body for Beyblade competition.

That is why, effective immediately, Beywiki is being relaunched as the World Beyblade Organization (WBO). The goal of the WBO is simple -- to be a sanctioning body for Beyblade, and an organization dedicated to the promotion of Beyblade, all over the world.

The WBO functions on the Elo ranking system, employed by Chess, Go, and many competitive games and hobbies all over the world. When Bladers battle in real life, the results are reported by the loser on the WBO website. The rankings are then adjusted accordingly. The goal is to provide a comprehensive ranking system for Beyblade. By winning many battles, Bladers will climb to the top and earn the title of the best Blader in the world.

The Beywiki project is not being abandoned. The Beywiki will continue as a side-project of the WBO. However, the focus of the website has shifted from the Beywiki itself to the community that has been formed.

The WBO is reaching out to Bladers in every part of the world, Bladers who speak every language. We have begun employing translators to reach out to Bladers who cannot speak English, so you can look forward to more international content as the WBO grows.

So, head to http://worldbeyblade.org and register today, and begin climbing the ranks of the WBO!"

A second press release was published to modify the WBO Official Rules slightly: 
"
After just a short few days, the 2nd release of the official WBO rules is now available. These rules are in effect immediately for all sanctioned WBO play.

What's new?

Addendum to the Selection of Beyblade and Launcher section:

The Blader is free to select a different Shooter or, in the case of a Dual Shooter, Spin Direction, unless they have already attached the Beyblade or inserted a Winder. Once either of these actions have been performed, the Shooter cannot be changed. In the case of the Dual Shooter, the spin direction can be changed between rounds.

Ruling added for Phantom Fox MS:

If one part of Phantom Fox stops spinning but the other continues to, the stopped piece must be left alone. The standard rules for touching the Bey Stadium or a Beyblade during a BeyBattle still apply.

Large section added about the World Battle System. Read this! Here's the most important addition:

To prevent the WBS from becoming unbalanced, you may only participate in ten ranked BeyBattles with the same Blader every calendar week (Sunday through Saturday). If you have accidentally submitted too many BeyBattles, please contact a WBO staff member immediately. If you are found to be submitting BeyBattles above the approved limit, your account will be subject to punishment, up to and including banning from the WBO.
