The BEYBLADE X GP 2026 TOKYO finals tournament was held in Ikebukuro, with Fuku (福) winning the Regular Class and Tokyomo (トキョモ) winning the Open Class. Use of Nr Bit is expanding, and the schedule for upcoming official tournaments was also announced.
Takara Tomy’s national battle hobby tournament, BEYBLADE X GP 2026 TOKYO, held a finals tournament for the top players who had advanced through the qualifiers held from May to July. The venue was the Sunshine City Fountain Plaza in Ikebukuro. The tournament consisted of a Regular Class, limited to ages 6 to 12, and an Open Class with no age restriction, and featured battles centered on Glory Valkyrie.
In the Regular Class final, Fuku (福) used Glory Valkyrie E and other Beys to win the 1st battle. Fuku (福) defeated Haruna (ハルナ) in the semifinal, then came from behind to win the final with a Spin Finish, taking the title with a 4-0 shutout. Third-place finisher Haruna (ハルナ) expressed happiness at finishing on the podium, while winner Fuku (福) showed enthusiasm for the world championship.
In the Open Class final, Tokyomo (トキョモ) mixed in surprise weapons, including Aero Pegasus, and won the title 4-0 after prevailing in battles featuring Shark Scale variants from the second battle onward. In an interview after the final, Tokyomo (トキョモ) discussed the reasons for choosing Aero Pegasus, customisation techniques and aspirations for the upcoming world championship.
One notable feature of the tournament was the sharp increase in the number of players using Nr Bit, with commentators pointing out that the competitive viability of the Nr Bit included in the CX-18 Random Booster is improving. Difficulty obtaining products around the venue also became a topic of discussion, and the shift toward lottery-based sales of products such as the BX-53 set continues.
It was announced that next year’s new tournament, the BEYBLADE X GP 2027 JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP, will be held on 21 February, with 15 players who have advanced through the domestic qualifiers in Japan taking part. As the competitive environment continues to develop and new Beys emerge, attention is also focused on developments leading up to the world championship.
