by The anime BEYBLADE X is entering a brand-new stage with the upcoming Beykingdom Arc, which will begin with Episode 135 on October 9, 2026. The new chapter will introduce a new setting, a new character, and a major Beyblade competition, while also bringing fresh opening and ending theme songs from two internationally active music acts.
The new arc will begin streaming at 7:00 p.m. JST on October 9 through the official YouTube channel BeyTube and other streaming services. Along with the announcement, the anime has revealed its new opening theme, “Fearless” by &TEAM, and its new ending theme, “SPIN” by BAND-MAID. A promotional video for the arc has also been released, giving fans their first preview of the new story and a portion of the new opening song.
BEYBLADE X Beykingdom Arc Starts October 9
The Beykingdom Arc will officially begin with Episode 135 on Friday, October 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. JST. The announcement marks the next major chapter of the ongoing BEYBLADE X anime.
The Japanese title of the arc is “Beykingdom” (ベイキングダム), a name that combines the Beyblade concept with the word “kingdom.” The arc takes the story beyond the familiar setting of X City and introduces a kingdom where Beyblade battles play an important role in determining power and succession.
The new story centers on Team Persona, who become involved with the Beykingdom after being asked to participate as a substitute team. The kingdom is preparing for the Spin Crown War, a massive Beyblade competition connected to the succession of the throne.
According to the newly revealed information, the competition involves 99 princes, creating a much larger conflict than the battles Team Persona has faced previously. The story will therefore combine Beyblade battles with a royal succession struggle, giving the anime a new setting and a different type of challenge.
For viewers who may be new to BEYBLADE X, this means the Beykingdom Arc is not simply another tournament. The story is expanding the world of BEYBLADE X and introducing a political and royal element into its Beyblade battles.
Where to Watch BEYBLADE X Beykingdom Arc
The first episode of the new arc will be available on the official BeyTube YouTube channel from 7:00 p.m. JST on October 9.
Following its initial release, new episodes are also scheduled to become available through several streaming platforms, including U-NEXT, Anime Hodai, Lemino, Prime Video, DMM TV, d Anime Store, and ABEMA. The episodes are scheduled for Friday releases at 7:00 p.m. JST.
This makes the new arc particularly accessible to fans who have been following the anime through online streaming rather than traditional television broadcasts.
&TEAM Performs the New Opening Theme “Fearless”
One of the biggest announcements surrounding the Beykingdom Arc is the new opening theme.
The opening song will be “Fearless,” performed by &TEAM, a nine-member global group from Japan. The song will accompany the new arc as Team Persona enters the Beykingdom and faces a completely different environment.
The anime’s promotional video already includes a short preview of “Fearless,” giving viewers their first opportunity to hear the new song alongside footage from the upcoming story.
The song will also receive a digital release on October 10, 2026, one day after the Beykingdom Arc begins streaming. The music and lyrics are credited to Soma Genda, SAS, LOAR, Seann Bowe, and Sho from MY FIRST STORY.
&TEAM Comment
&TEAM expressed excitement about becoming part of the new chapter and said they hope their song will help energize the anime as the story develops.
The group encouraged fans to pay attention to “Fearless” as they watch the Beykingdom Arc and experience the new battles and characters.
BAND-MAID Performs New Ending Theme “SPIN”
The new ending theme for the Beykingdom Arc will be “SPIN” by BAND-MAID.
Known for its hard-rock sound, BAND-MAID has created the song specifically with the energy of BEYBLADE X in mind. Vocalist SAIKI explained that the track was inspired by the image of Beyblades spinning, colliding, and exploding into action.
According to SAIKI, the song combines the energy of those intense Beyblade moments with the idea of continuing to challenge yourself, which the band felt was an important part of BEYBLADE X. The song also includes sections designed for listeners to sing along with.
Unlike “Fearless,” which will be digitally released on October 10, “SPIN” is scheduled for release on October 28, 2026. The song will be released as a new BAND-MAID single, with multiple editions planned.
The combination of &TEAM’s new opening and BAND-MAID’s energetic ending gives the Beykingdom Arc two completely different musical styles while keeping the fast-paced spirit of BEYBLADE X.
New Promotional Video Released
Along with the release date and theme-song announcements, a new promotional video for the Beykingdom Arc has been unveiled.
The video features new animation from the upcoming arc and provides a first look at the story’s new direction. It also allows fans to hear part of &TEAM’s “Fearless” before the full song is released.
The promotional video is especially important for longtime viewers because it previews the new setting and gives a glimpse of the characters and battles that will become central to the next chapter.
Rather than revealing every detail, the promotional material leaves several questions open, particularly concerning the Beykingdom’s royal family and the reason Team Persona has become involved in the succession battle.
New Character Deema Dil Kanz Joins the Cast
The Beykingdom Arc will also introduce a new character named Deema Dil Kanz, voiced by Masaya Miyazaki.
Deema is the 88th prince of the Beykingdom and is the person who asks Persona to participate in his place.
Despite being a prince, Deema is described as someone who does not speak very much. However, his feelings for his homeland are said to be stronger than those of anyone else.
His personality appears to make an impression on Persona, suggesting that the relationship between the two characters could become important as the new story progresses.
Deema is also apparently an accomplished Beyblade player himself. However, one of the major mysteries surrounding his character is why he needs someone else to play in his place.
That question could become an important part of the Beykingdom Arc as Team Persona becomes more deeply involved in the kingdom’s conflicts.
Masaya Miyazaki Talks About Playing Deema
Voice actor Masaya Miyazaki expressed his happiness and gratitude at joining the BEYBLADE X cast.
Miyazaki said he is excited to portray Deema and encouraged viewers to pay attention to the prince’s position, environment, personality, and relationships with Persona and the members of Komaba Sushi.
He also asked fans to watch how Deema’s role develops throughout the story and discover what kind of character he will become.
Because Deema is both a prince and an apparently capable Blader, his role could connect the personal drama of the Beykingdom with the major Beyblade battles that are coming.
The Spin Crown War Will Bring 99 Princes Into the Story
One of the most interesting new elements of the Beykingdom Arc is the Spin Crown War.
The competition is connected to the question of who will eventually succeed the king of the Beykingdom. With 99 princes involved, the story has the potential to introduce a large number of new Bladers and rival characters.
For Team Persona, this creates a very different situation from their previous battles. Instead of simply fighting opponents to improve their rankings or prove their strength, they will be entering a competition connected to the future of an entire kingdom.
The Beykingdom itself is also described as a place where important matters are decided through Beyblade battles. This makes the setting particularly suited to the world of BEYBLADE X, where Beyblade has become much more than a simple hobby.
The upcoming arc will therefore use Beyblade battles as the foundation for a much larger story involving royalty, competition, loyalty, and personal motivations.
A New Chapter for Team Persona
Team Persona has already experienced numerous challenges throughout BEYBLADE X, but the Beykingdom Arc appears ready to take the team outside its familiar environment.
The team will be asked to compete as a substitute, placing them in a situation where they must represent someone else while dealing with the complicated circumstances surrounding Deema and the Beykingdom.
This setup also creates questions about Persona’s relationship with the royal family and why Deema specifically sought their help.
As the new arc progresses, viewers can expect the story to reveal more about Deema, the other princes, the Spin Crown War, and the connection between Team Persona and the Beykingdom.
Countdown Campaign Begins September 25
To build excitement ahead of the October 9 premiere, an official BEYBLADE X countdown campaign is scheduled to begin on September 25.
The official BEYBLADE X social-media account will release special images featuring members of &TEAM and BAND-MAID holding their own Beyblades.
The campaign will continue daily through October 8, with a total of 14 special member images from the two groups being revealed before the new arc begins.
The campaign gives fans a fun way to count down to the arrival of the Beykingdom Arc while also highlighting the collaboration between the anime and its new theme-song artists.
BEYBLADE X START DASH Project
Another campaign connected to the new arc is the BEYBLADE X START DASH PROJECT, which is designed to make it easier for new fans to get into the franchise.
The project is particularly useful for viewers who may have heard about BEYBLADE X because of the new Beykingdom Arc but have not followed the earlier episodes.
The manga is also being made available for free through the Weekly CoroCoro Comic website for a limited period, giving newcomers an opportunity to learn more about the story and characters before the new chapter begins.
This type of campaign can help both longtime fans and newcomers understand the world of BEYBLADE X before the story moves into its latest stage.
New Beyblade Products Also Arrive in October
The Beykingdom Arc is also arriving alongside new Beyblade-related releases.
The BX-53 All-In-One Set is scheduled for release on October 10, 2026, shortly after the new anime arc begins. The set includes three Beyblades, two launchers, and a stadium, giving newer players an entry point into the current Beyblade X generation.
This timing connects the anime’s new story with the toy line and gives fans an opportunity to experience Beyblade X battles themselves.
What to Expect From the Beykingdom Arc
The new chapter appears to be setting up several important story elements:
- Episode 135 begins the Beykingdom Arc on October 9.
- Team Persona will travel into the Beykingdom.
- Deema Dil Kanz, the 88th prince, will become an important new character.
- Persona will participate as a substitute team.
- The Spin Crown War will determine the future of the kingdom’s succession.
- 99 princes are involved in the competition.
- &TEAM will perform the opening theme “Fearless.”
- BAND-MAID will perform the ending theme “SPIN.”
- A new promotional video has already been released.
- A special countdown campaign begins September 25.
- New Beyblade products will also arrive around the beginning of the new arc.
For beginners, the most important thing to know is that the Beykingdom Arc is a new story chapter rather than a separate anime series. It continues BEYBLADE X from Episode 135, introducing a new location and a new conflict while keeping Team Persona at the center of the story.
