Plot Synopsis

In East City in the year 20xx, a young boy, Riki Ryugasaki, discovers B-Daman tournaments, finds his own B-Daman, and sets off on gaming and real adventures with his friend and rival, Samuru Shigami. Riki, an airheaded elementary school boy in East City, is taken to his first B-Daman event by his childhood friend and classmate, Sumi Inaba. Although he doesn't participate as a player, Riki's natural curiosity sparks an interest towards B-Daman. Riki is even more strongly attracted to B-Daman when he hears a rumor spreading amongst the children of the town about a secret B-Daman tournament -- a tournament in which only a very select group of players are allowed to participate. Dismissing the rumor as nonsense, a mysterious and unidentifiable voice calls out to him, and a boy, Samuru Shigami, appears holding a White Dragon Type B-Daman. Then, in a chance encounter, Riki finds his own B-Daman, Thunder Dracyan, and the new duo begin their tournament careers together, competing against: the West Block's Samuru Shigami and his B-Daman, Lightning Dravise; the South Block's former champion, Novu Moru, and his B-Daman, Strike Dragren; Basara Kurochi, a delinquent from the North Block, and his B-Daman, Double Drazeros; Rudy Sumeragi, who has a B-Daman, Smash Dragold, which combines all four types -- power, rapid-fire, precision and special; Yuki Washimura, top class in the East Block and his B-Daman, Strike Avian; a rich B-Shot from the East Block, Simon Sumiya, and Lightning Scorpio, a rapid-fire B-Daman; Hugo Radioh, a West Block B-Shot, and his B-Daman, Thunder Leo, which excels at the Spin Shot; the East Block's Kaito Samejima and his rapid-fire B-Daman, Lightning Fin; Grizz Sukino, a wild B-shot from East Block, and his power-type Thunder Bearga; Reggie Mak, the West Block's #2 B-Shot, and Strike Cobra, a precision-type B-Daman; Derek Watari, a former top B-Shot in South Block, and his B-Daman, Supreme Tigare, which has both precision and rapid-fire; the North Block's Asuka Kami and Drift Jaku, a B-Daman that can fire teh irregular Curve Shot; and Gunner Arano, a B-Shot from North Block, and his B-Daman, Thunder Bison, which can deliver a super-charged Power Shot.
