Beyblade: Metal Fury, known in Japan as Metal Fight Beyblade 4D (メタルファイト ベイブレード 4D, Metaru Faito Beibrēdo Fō Dī) is the third season of the Japanese anime television series Beyblade: Metal Saga based on Takafumi Adachi's manga series Beyblade: Metal Fusion, which itself is based on the Beyblade spinning top game from Takara Tomy and Hasbro. Following directly after Beyblade: Metal Masters, the series features Gingka and company as they travel the world in search for the ten "Legendary Bladers" needed to defeat Nemesis, the God of Destruction. The 52-episode series (39 in the dub due to the merger of the second 26 episode half into 13 episodes due to their shortened 11 minute runtime) is produced by d-rights and Nelvana under the direction of Kunihisa Sugishima.
