B-Daman Crossfire, known in Japan as Cross Fight B-Daman (クロスファイト ビーダマン), is the first B-Daman anime of the Cross Fight series and the seventh B-Daman anime series, overall. Premiering on October 2, 2011 in Japan, it became the first B-Daman anime to air in almost five years, and first to be produced in 16:9 widescreen, following the finale of Crash B-Daman on December 25, 2006. Its last episode, Conclusion! Cross Fight's New Era aired on September 30, 2012 in Japan. A sequel series, B-Daman Fireblast, premiered the following week.[1]
On June 8, 2013, it was announced that B-Daman Crossfire would air on Disney XD Malaysia.
It was scheduled for a tentative release across global markets outside of Asia in September 2013.[2] Starting August 17, 2013, English dubbed episodes of B-Daman Crossfire started airing on The CW's Saturday morning block, Vortexx. The series later began airing in Canada on YTV on September 7, 2013, subsequently premiering on YTV's sister channel, Nickelodeon on October 18, 2013.
On June 3, 2011, toy giant, Takara-Tomy revealed that a new anime series to be based on the latest revival of the B-Daman toys, Cross Fight B-Daman, was green-lit for fall 2011. Slated to premiere on October 2, 2011 through Japanese television network, TV Tokyo and other channels as previous B-Daman anime have. Set on time, the anime aired on the 8:45 AM JST time-slot, Sunday morning following an airing of Metal Fight Beyblade 4D.
26 episodes were ordered but due to the growing popularity of the Cross Fight B-Daman toyline, an additional serving of 26 episodes aired. This brought the anime up to 52 episodes, around the ideal number for toy-based anime. While the series concluded on September 30, 2012, its sequel premiered the following week.[2]
On September 28, 2012, d-rights created a promotional poster for use at a trade show. Showcasing a preliminary English logo concept, d-rights was seeking possible companies and networks interested in licensing the anime abroad. Not long after on October 18, 2012, the trade show turned out a success with dub the series in English and other languages, as well. An international name of "B-Daman Crossfire" was chosen along with a tentative release for autumn 2013.
Much later on April 8, 2013, d-rights neared completion in negotiations with Hasbro for release outside of Asia. To compensate for this, d-rights' parent, Mitsubishi, opened up a dubbing company specialized for international dubs called, SUNRIGHTS INC. Based in Albany, New York in the USA, they dubbed CrossFire in English with general releases in September 2013.[4]
B-Daman Crossfire follows Riki Ryugasaki, an absent-minded young boy who eventually discovers a particular game called B-Daman, which involves using animal-looking figures to shoot marbles at targets. One day, he helps his friend with a tournament, and as a result, he receives a B-Daman of his own named Thunder Dracyan.[1]
After learning about secret tournaments held at different locations, Ricky decides to attend one, and as a result, gets deeply involved with the game, as well as gaining new rivals.
As a result, Ricky divulges himself more into the sport of Cross Fight by learning the various new game types, mechanics, and such as he plans to learn the secrets of B-Daman. At the same time, he meets new friends and enemies/rivals during the game.[1]
