How to Watch the Episode 123 and 124 Premiere
Takara Tomy is shifting its distribution strategy to meet younger audiences exactly where they already consume content: YouTube.
Dropping two episodes back-to-back prevents the pacing issues common in long-running anime and hooks the audience into the new storyline immediately.
- Release Date: Friday, April 17, 2026
- Air Time: 7:00 PM JST (Japan Standard Time)
- Episodes: 123 and 124
- Platform: BEYBEY TUBE (Official Japanese YouTube Channel)
American fans searching for a live simulcast need to know that the YouTube feed utilizes strict geo-blocking.
The international rollout of Beyblade X began in July 2024, but the English dub schedule runs several months behind the primary Japanese broadcast.
The CoroCoro Comic Password Campaign
Toy companies rely on interconnected marketing loops to drive both viewership and merchandise sales.
To celebrate the True Future Arc, Takara Tomy launched a giveaway offering 100 fans exclusive Beyblades and franchise merchandise.
Entering the contest requires viewers to engage with both digital and physical media. Fans must collect a two-part code:
- The Digital Code: Watch the live April 17 YouTube premiere to find the first password hidden within the broadcast.
- The Print Code: Buy the May issue of CoroCoro Comic to find the second password printed on the page.
Combining these two passwords unlocks the giveaway entry.
This classic promotional tactic guarantees high concurrent viewership numbers for the YouTube premiere while simultaneously boosting magazine sales at the newsstand.
aoen Steps In With “Youth”
Long-running anime properties frequently swap theme songs to signal a major narrative shift.
For the True Future Arc, the production committee tapped boy band aoen to perform the new ending theme, “Youth.”
Securing a rising pop act helps the franchise cross-pollinate fanbases.
Anime viewers discover the band, while the band’s existing followers tune into the show to hear the new track.
The aoen OFFICIAL X/Twitter account confirmed the song will debut at the end of the April 17 broadcast.
